This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.
Previously, we had two enums ManagerRunningAs and UnitFileScope, that were
mostly identical and converted from one to the other all the time. The latter
had one more value UNIT_FILE_GLOBAL however.
Let's simplify things, and remove ManagerRunningAs and replace it by
UnitFileScope everywhere, thus making the translation unnecessary. Introduce
two new macros MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM() and MANAGER_IS_USER() to simplify checking
if we are running in one or the user context.
In some cases we do not have a udev device when setting up a unit
(certainly the code gracefully handles this). However, we do
then go on to compare the path via path_equal which will assert
if a null value is passed in.

Not sure if this is the correct fix, but it avoids the crash
systemd automatically mounts device unless 'noauto' is part of the
mount options. This can happen during boot if the device is plugged at
that time or later when the system is already running (the latter case
is not documented AFAICS).
After the systemd booted, I plugged my USB device which had an entry
in /etc/fstab with the default options and systemd automatically
mounted it.
However I noticed that if I unplugged and re-plugged the device the
automatic mounting of the device didn't work anymore: systemd didn't
notice that the device was re-plugged.
This was due to the device unit which was not recycled by the GC
during the unplug event because in the case of automounting, the mount
unit still referenced it. When the device was re-plugged, the old
device unit was reused but it still had the old sysfs path (amongst
other useful information).
Systemd was confused by the stalled sysfs path and decided to ignore
the plug event.
This patch fixes this issue by simply not doing the sanity checking on
the sysfs path if the device is in unplugged state.
The functionality of SYSTEMD_USER_WANTS that attaches dependencies to device
units from udev rules was broken since commit b2c23da8. I guess it was due to
a mass replace s/SYSTEMD_USER/MANAGER_USER/.
Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd
developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they
existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted
without harm.
The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system
is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire...
and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo"
those changes, which isn't really possible.
Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking
that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone,
and snapshots cannot be created anymore.
New systemctl says:
Unknown operation snapshot.
Old systemctl says:
Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed.
IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored:
Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored

We cannot handle enumeration failures in a sensible way, hence let's try
hard to continue without making such failures fatal, and log about it
with precise error messages.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
Let's add a way to get the type-specific D-Bus interface of a unit from
either its type or name to src/basic/unit-name.[ch]. That way we can
share it with the client side, where it is useful in tools like cgls or
machinectl.
Also ports over machinectl to make use of this.
Change device_found_node() to also create a .device unit if a device is not
known by udev; this is the case for "tentative" devices picked up by mountinfo
(DEVICE_FOUND_MOUNT). With that we can record the "found" attribute on the
unit.
Change device_setup_unit() to also accept a NULL udev_device, and don't
add the extra udev information in that case.
Previously device_found_node() would not create a .device unit, and
unit_add_node_link() would then create a "dead" stub one via
manager_load_unit(), so we lost the "found" attribute and unmounted everything
from that device.

It's primarily just a property of the Manager object after all, and we
try to refer to PID 1 as "manager" instead of "systemd", hence let's to
stick to this here too.
This changes log_unit_info() (and friends) to take a real Unit* object
insted of just a unit name as parameter. The call will now prefix all
logged messages with the unit name, thus allowing the unit name to be
dropped from the various passed romat strings, simplifying invocations
drastically, and unifying log output across messages. Also, UNIT= vs.
USER_UNIT= is now derived from the Manager object attached to the Unit
object, instead of getpid(). This has the benefit of correcting the
field for --test runs.
Also contains a couple of other logging improvements:
- Drops a couple of strerror() invocations in favour of using %m.
- Not only .mount units now warn if a symlinks exist for the mount
point already, .automount units do that too, now.
- A few invocations of log_struct() that didn't actually pass any
additional structured data have been replaced by simpler invocations
of log_unit_info() and friends.
- For structured data a new LOG_UNIT_MESSAGE() macro has been added,
that works like LOG_MESSAGE() but prefixes the message with the unit
name. Similar, there's now LOG_LINK_MESSAGE() and
LOG_NETDEV_MESSAGE().
- For structured data new LOG_UNIT_ID(), LOG_LINK_INTERFACE(),
LOG_NETDEV_INTERFACE() macros have been added that generate the
necessary per object fields. The old log_unit_struct() call has been
removed in favour of these new macros used in raw log_struct()
invocations. In addition to removing one more function call this
allows generated structured log messages that contain two object
fields, as necessary for example for network interfaces that are
joined into another network interface, and whose messages shall be
indexed by both.
- The LOG_ERRNO() macro has been removed, in favour of
log_struct_errno(). The latter has the benefit of ensuring that %m in
format strings is properly resolved to the specified error number.
- A number of logging messages have been converted to use
log_unit_info() instead of log_info()
- The client code in sysv-generator no longer #includes core code from
src/core/.
- log_unit_full_errno() has been removed, log_unit_full() instead takes
an errno now, too.
- log_unit_info(), log_link_info(), log_netdev_info() and friends, now
avoid double evaluation of their parameters
A variety of changes:
- Make sure all our calls distuingish OOM from other errors if OOM is
not the only error possible.
- Be much stricter when parsing escaped paths, do not accept trailing or
leading escaped slashes.
- Change unit validation to take a bit mask for allowing plain names,
instance names or template names or an combination thereof.
- Refuse manipulating invalid unit name

This reworks how we enter tentative state and does so only when a device
was previously not announced via udev. The previous check actually just
checked whether a new state bit was set, which is not correct.
Also, to be able to reliably maintain the tentative state across daemon
reloads, we need to serialize and deserialize it.
Commit 628c89c introduced the "tentative" device state, which caused
devices to go from "plugged" to "tentative" on a remove uevent. This
breaks the cleanup of stale mounts (see commit 3b48ce4), as that only
applies to "dead" devices.
The "tentative" state only really makes sense on adding a device when
we don't know where it was coming from (i. e. not from udev). But when
we get a device removal from udev we definitively know that it's gone,
so change the device state back to "dead" as before 628c89c.
Because the order of coldplugging is not defined, we can reference a
not-yet-coldplugged unit and read its state while it has not yet been
set to a meaningful value.
This way, already active units may get started again.
We fix this by deferring such actions until all units have been at
least somehow coldplugged.
Fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88401
This change introduces a new state "tentative" for device units. Device
units are considered "plugged" when udev announced them, "dead" when
they are not available in the kernel, and "tentative" when they are
referenced in /proc/self/mountinfo or /proc/swaps but not (yet)
announced via udev.
This should fix a race when device nodes (like loop devices) are created
and immediately mounted. Previously, systemd might end up seeing the
mount unit before the device, and would thus pull down the mount because
its BindTo dependency on the device would not be fulfilled.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
Containers do not really support .device, .automount or .swap units;
Systems compiled without support for swap do not support .swap units;
Systems without kdbus do not support .busname units.
With this change attempts to start a unsupported unit types will result
in an immediate "unsupported" job result, which is a lot more
descriptive then before. Also, attempts to start device units in
containers will now immediately fail instead of causing jobs to be
enqueued that never go away.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().
- Rename log_meta() → log_internal(), to follow naming scheme of most
other log functions that are usually invoked through macros, but never
directly.
- Rename log_info_object() to log_object_info(), simply because the
object should be before any other parameters, to follow OO-style
programming style.
It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
