The information about the unit for which files are being parsed
is passed all the way down. This way messages land in the journal
with proper UNIT=... or USER_UNIT=... attribution.
'systemctl status' and 'journalctl -u' not displaying those messages
has been a source of confusion for users, since the journal entry for
a misspelt setting was often logged quite a bit earlier than the
failure to start a unit.

Containers will now carry a label (normally derived from the root
directory name, but configurable by the user), and the container's root
cgroup is /machine/<label>. This label is called "machine name", and can
cover both containers and VMs (as soon as libvirt also makes use of
/machine/).
libsystemd-login can be used to query the machine name from a process.
This patch also includes numerous clean-ups for the cgroup code.
Avoid the dynamic allocation for the _UID, _GID, and _PID strings.
The maximum size of the string can be determined at compile time.
The code has only been compile tested.
When systemd was compiled without audit support, do not collect the
audit session and loginuid in the journal. This is saving a couple of
syscalls and memory allocations per log message.
Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.
A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:
$ size build/.libs/systemd
text data bss dec hex filename
before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd
… actually less than 1‰.
A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
Add option to force journal sync with fsync. Default timeout is 5min.
Interval configured via SyncIntervalSec option at journal.conf. Synced
journal files will be marked as OFFLINE.
Manual sync can be performed via sending SIGUSR1.
Previously all journal files were owned by "adm". In order to allow
specific users to read the journal files without granting it access to
the full "adm" powers, introduce a new specific group for this.
"systemd-journal" has to be created by the packaging scripts manually at
installation time. It's a good idea to assign a static UID/GID to this
group, since /var/log/journal might be shared across machines via NFS.
This commit also grants read access to the journal files by default to
members of the "wheel" and "adm" groups via file system ACLs, since
these "almost-root" groups should be able to see what's going on on the
system. These ACLs are created by "make install". Packagers probably
need to duplicate this logic in their postinst scripts.
This also adds documentation how to grant access to the journal to
additional users or groups via fs ACLs.
Code above this attempted to load loginuid, if this failed for
whatever reason, we'd still end up using that value (0) in place of
realuid. Fix this by setting a bool when we know the loginuid is
valid.
This fixes journal messages showing up in per-user journals in
gnome-ostree (not configured with loginuid, but I'll shortly fix
that).
New file output.h with output flags and modes.
--full parameter also for cgls and loginctl.
Include 'all' parameter in flags (show_cgroup_by_path, show_cgroup,
show_cgroup_and_extra, show_cgroup_and_extra_by_spec).
get_process_cmdline with max_length == 0 will not ellipsize output.
Replace LINE_MAX with 0 in some calls of get_process_cmdline.
[zj: Default to --full when under pager for clgs.
Drop '-f' since it wasn't documented and didn't actually work.
Reindent a bit.

This introduces a new data threshold setting for sd_journal objects
which controls the maximum size of objects to decompress. This is
relieves the library from having to decompress full data objects even
if a client program is only interested in the initial part of them.
This speeds up "systemd-coredumpctl" drastically when invoked without
parameters.
The point is to allow the use of journald functions by other binaries.
Before, journald code was split into multiple files (journald-*.[ch]),
but all those files all required functions from journald.c. And
journald.c has its own main(). Now, it is possible to link against
those functions, e.g. from test binaries.
This constitutes a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872638.
The patch does the following:
1. rename journald.h to journald-server.h and move corresponding code
to journald-server.c.
2. add journald-server.c and other journald-*.c parts to
libsystemd-journal-internal.
3. remove journald-syslog.c from test_journal_syslog_SOURCES, since
it is now contained in libsystemd-journal-internal.
There are no code changes, apart from the removal of a few static's,
to allow function calls between files.
