util-linux 2.27.1's configure.ac still claims to be 2.27.0, which breaks our
version check. Lower it back to 2.27.0 until util-linux gets a fixed tarball.
See #1754
The existing text misleads readers into thinking how the notify socket protocol is "internals" and that they can only use the functions. However, the socket is part of the Interface Stability Promise. So, we should drop "internally" from the description so the man page both indicates both how the functions work and how one would talk to the socket directly.
This is useful to check that compression actually works, and how
compression influences file size in the best-case-scenario for
compression. (The answer is that not as much as one would hope:
there's still a big overhead of the indexing and since every field
is compressed separately, even fields that compress very well
contribute to the file size. This overhead becomes negligible only
for very big fields.)
If we failed to extract a word, then that's how it is, we shouldn't try
to extract it again and again, it's unlikely to work, and we just
deadlock.
This is a fix-up for 52278ad31d.
When we enumerate journal files and encounter an invalid one, remember
which this, and show it to the user.
Note the possibly slightly surprising logic here: we store only one path
per error code. This means we show all error kinds but not every actual
error we encounter. This has the benefit of not requiring us to keep a
potentially unbounded list of errors with their sources around, but can
still provide a pretty complete overview on the errors we encountered.
Fixes#1669.
- Always print a debug log message about files and directories we cannot
open right when it happens instead of the caller, thus reducing the
number of places where we need to generate the debug message.
- Always push the errors we encounter immediately into the error set,
when we run into them, instead of in the caller. Thus, we never forget
to push them in.
- Use stack instead of heap memory where we can.
- Make remove_file() void, since it cannot fail anyway and always
returned 0.
- Make local machine check of journal directories explicit in a
function, to make things more readable.
- Port to all directory listing loops FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL()
- sd-daemon is library code, hence never log at higher log levels than
LOG_DEBUG.
When reading stuff, we should only return EIO when an actual read error
occured, not when we don't like the data for whatever reason.
We already return ENODATA for all other kinds of file truncation, hence
do the same for the most obvious kind, so that callers know what ENODATA
means.
For each service expose how many file descriptors there are currently in
the fd store.
(Also, fix the exporting of the fdstore limit, given that the field is
just an "unsigned" but we exported it as "uint32_t". Not that there way
any effective difference, but let's make this clean...)
memory_erase() so far just called memset(), which the compiler might
optimize away under certain conditions if it feels there's benefit in
it. C11 knows a new memset_s() call that is like memset(), but may not
be optimized away. Ideally, we'd just use that call, but glibc currently
does not support it. Hence, implement our own simplistic version of it.
We use a GCC pragma to turn off optimization for this call, and also use
the "volatile" keyword on the pointers to ensure that gcc will use the
pointers as-is. According to a variety of internet sources, either one
does the trick. However, there are also reports that at least the
volatile thing isn't fully correct, hence let's add some snake oil and
employ both techniques.

util-linux 2.27.1 now entirely stops looking at /etc/mtab, so we don't need to
verify /etc/mtab during early boot any more. Later on, tmpfiles.d/etc.conf will
fix /etc/mtab anyway, so there's not even a point in warning about it.
Drop test_mtab() and bump the util-linux dependency to >= 2.17.1.
Fixes#1495
