Implement a maximum limit on number of journal files to keep around.
Enforcing a limit is useful on this since our performance when viewing
pays a heavy penalty for each journal file to interleve. This setting is
turned on now by default, and set to 100.
Also, actully implement what 348ced9097
promised: use whatever we find on disk at startup as lower bound on how
much disk space we can use. That commit introduced some provisions to
implement this, but actually never did.
This also adds "journalctl --vacuum-files=" to vacuum files on disk by
their number explicitly.
Let's work around crappy clocks in test-journal-interleaving.c too. This
does the same as 98d2a53417 but for
test-journal-interlaving.c rather than test-journal-stream.c.
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.
- 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.
Before, journald would remove journal files until both MaxUse= and
KeepFree= settings would be satisfied. The first one depends (if set
automatically) on the size of the file system and is constant. But
the second one depends on current use of the file system, and a spike
in disk usage would cause journald to delete journal files, trying to
reach usage which would leave 15% of the disk free. This behaviour is
surprising for the user who doesn't expect his logs to be purged when
disk usage goes above 85%, which on a large disk could be some
gigabytes from being full. In addition attempting to keep 15% free
provides an attack vector where filling the disk sufficiently disposes
of almost all logs.
Instead, obey KeepFree= only as a limit on adding additional files.
When replacing old files with new, ignore KeepFree=. This means that
if journal disk usage reached some high point that at some later point
start to violate the KeepFree= constraint, journald will not add files
to go above this point, but it will stay (slightly) below it. When
journald is restarted, it forgets the previous maximum usage value,
and sets the limit based on the current usage, so if disk remains to
be filled, journald might use one journal-file-size less on each
restart, if restarts happen just after rotation. This seems like a
reasonable compromise between implementation complexity and robustness.
* Introduce a macro to conditionally execute tests. This avoids
skipping the entire test if some parts require systemd
* Skip the journal tests when no /etc/machine-id is present
* Change test-catalog to load the catalog from the source directory
of systemd.
* /proc/PID/comm got introduced in v2.6.33 but travis is still
using v2.6.32.
* Enable make check and make distcheck on the travis build
* Use -D"CATALOG_DIR=STR($(abs_top_srcdir)/catalog)" as a STRINGIY
would result in the path '/home/ich/source/linux' to be expanded
to '/home/ich/source/1' as linux is defined to 1.
