'journalctl --vacuum-*' does not suppress output message with --quiet.
Let journal_directory_vacuum honors --quiet to fix the problem.
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692188
e268b81e moved an fflush() from output_json() to the generic
output_journal(), when it probably should have deleted all fflush()
calls from logs-show.c altogether.
The caller supplies the FILE * to these functions, and should be in
charge of flushing as needed. The current implementation essentially
defeats any buffering stdio was bringing to the table, resulting in
extraneous tiny write() calls in commands like `journalctl -b`.
This commit removes the fflush() call from output_journal(), and adds
them to journalctl before waiting for more entries and at completion.
This way in the hot path when journalctl loops on entries stdio can
combine multiple entries into bulkier write() calls.
Try to honor --show-cursor in more situations by never terminating early
when we didn't read any logs.
In particular, sd_journal_previous_skip() now returns 0 when it didn't
actually skip anything (for example with --lines=0), which resulted in
--show-cursor not working anymore.
The only functional change is that log_notice("No journal files were found.")
is not printed any more with --quiet. log_error("No journal files were opened
due to insufficient permissions.") is still printed.
I wasn't quite sure where to put this function, but shared/ seems to be the
right place and none of the existing files seem to fit too well.
v2: rename journal_access_check to journal_access_check_and_warn.
SD_ID128_MAKE is clearly not a standard C macro, so let’s point the user
to its documentation to let them know which header they need and what
they can then do with MESSAGE_XYZ.
The compiler should not be able to optimize out the memset, because optarg is global
memory. In this case, not making the argument an empty string is nicer, so just use
an open-coded version of string_erase from before the explicit_bzero change.

After parsing the --verify-key argument, overwrite it with null bytes.
This minimizes (but does not completely eliminate) the time frame within
which another process on the system can extract the verification key
from the journalctl command line.
Let's remove chase_symlinks_prefix() and instead introduce a flags parameter to
chase_symlinks(), with a flag CHASE_PREFIX_ROOT that exposes the behaviour of
chase_symlinks_prefix().
Let's use chase_symlinks() everywhere, and stop using GNU
canonicalize_file_name() everywhere. For most cases this should not change
behaviour, however increase exposure of our function to get better tested. Most
importantly in a few cases (most notably nspawn) it can take the correct root
directory into account when chasing symlinks.
Let's make it easier to figure out when we see an invalid journal file, why we
consider it invalid, and add some minimal debug logging for it.
This log output is normally not seen (after all, this all is library code),
unless debug logging is exlicitly turned on.
When date is changed in system to future and normal user logs to new journal file, and then date is changed back to present time, the "journalctl --list-boot" command goes to forever loop. This commit tries to fix this problem by checking first the boot id list if the found boot id was already in that list. If it is found, then stopping the boot id find loop.
The key used to be jammed next to the local file path. Based on the format string on line 1675, I determined that the order of arguments was written incorrectly, and updated the function based on that assumption.
Before:

Please write down the following secret verification key. It should be stored
at a safe location and should not be saved locally on disk.

The sealing key is automatically changed every 15min.

According to its manual page, flags given to mkostemp(3) shouldn't include
O_RDWR, O_CREAT or O_EXCL flags as these are always included. Beyond
those, the only flag that all callers (except a few tests where it
probably doesn't matter) use is O_CLOEXEC, so set that unconditionally.
It is useful to look at a (possibly inactive) container or other os tree
with --root=/path/to/container. This is similar to specifying
--directory=/path/to/container/var/log/journal --directory=/path/to/container/run/systemd/journal
(if using --directory multiple times was allowed), but doesn't require
as much typing.
--boot=0 magically meant "this boot", but when used with --file/--directory it
should simply refer to the last boot found in the specified journal. This way,
--boot and --list-boots are consistent.
Fixes#3603.
It works mostly fine, and can be quite useful to examine data from another
system.
OTOH, a single boot id doesn't make sense with --merge, so mixing with --merge
is still not allowed.
This way, the switch becomes compatible with nspawn containers using --image=,
and those which only store journal data in /run (i.e. have persistant logs
off).
Fixes: #49
When appending to a journal file, journald will:
a) first, append the actual entry to the end of the journal file
b) second, add an offset reference to it to the global entry array stored at
the beginning of the file
c) third, add offset references to it to the per-field entry array stored at
various places of the file
The global entry array, maintained by b) is used when iterating through the
journal without matches applied.
The per-field entry array maintained by c) is used when iterating through the
journal with a match for that specific field applied.
In the wild, there are journal files where a) and b) were completed, but c)
was not before the files were abandoned. This means, that in some cases log
entries are at the end of these files that appear in the global entry array,
but not in the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. Now, the
"journalctl --list-boots" command alternatingly uses the global entry array
and the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. It seeks to the last
entry of a specific _BOOT_ID=field by having the right match installed, and
then jumps to the next following entry with no match installed anymore, under
the assumption this would bring it to the next boot ID. However, if the
per-field entry wasn't written fully, it might actually turn out that the
global entry array might know one more entry with the same _BOOT_ID, thus
resulting in a indefinite loop around the same _BOOT_ID.
This patch fixes that, by updating the boot search logic to always continue
reading entries until the boot ID actually changed from the previous. Thus, the
per-field entry array is used as quick jump index (i.e. as an optimization),
but not trusted otherwise. Only the global entry array is trusted.
This replaces PR #1904, which is actually very similar to this one. However,
this one actually reads the boot ID directly from the entry header, and doesn't
try to read it at all until the read pointer is actually really located on the
first item to read.
Fixes: #617
Replaces: #1904
Drop the "read_realtime" parameter. Getting the realtime timestamp from an
entry is cheap, as it is a normal header field, hence let's just get this
unconditionally, and simplify our code a bit.
Also, expose this via the "journalctl --file=-" syntax for STDIN. This feature
remains undocumented though, as it is probably not too useful in real-life as
this still requires fds that support mmaping and seeking, i.e. does not work
for pipes, for which reading from STDIN is most commonly used.
Let's output the actual error code encountered, and let's not claim this was
purely triggered by files, because it can also be triggered by directories.
Many subsystems define own pager_open_if_enabled() function which
checks '--no-pager' command line argument and open pager depends
on its value. All implementations of pager_open_if_enabled() are
the same. Let's merger this function with pager_open() from the
shared/pager.c and remove pager_open_if_enabled() from all subsytems
to prevent code duplication.
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
Currently when journalctl is called with path to block device node we
add following match _KERNEL_DEVICE=b$MAJOR:$MINOR.
That is not sufficient to actually obtain logs about the disk because
dev_printk() kernel helper puts to /dev/kmsg information about the
device in following format, +$SUBSYSTEM:$ADDRESS,
e.g. "+pci:pci:0000:00:14.0".
Now we will walk upward the syspath and add match for every device in
format produced by dev_printk() as well as match for its device node if
it exists.
