On s390 size_t is an unsigned long, nor an unsigned int. They both are
of the same size and can be cast to each other safely, but the compiler
still seems unhappy about incompatible pointers.

Running cgtop on a system, which lacks expecting stat file, results in a
segfault. For example, a system with blkio tree but without cfq io scheduler,
lacks "blkio.io_service_bytes".
When the targeting cgroup's file does not exist, process() returns 0 and
also does not modify `*ret' value (which is `*ours'). As a result,
callers of refresh_one() can have bogus pointer, which result in SEGV.
This patch just properly initialize the variable to NULL.
In standard linux parlance, "hidden" usually means that the file name starts
with ".", and nothing else. Rename the function to convey what the function does
better to casual readers.
Stop exposing hidden_file_allow_backup which is rather ugly and rewrite
hidden_file to extract the suffix first. Note that hidden_file_allow_backup
excluded files with "~" at the end, which is quite confusing. Let's get
rid of it before it gets used in the wrong place.
If the file name is supposed to end in a suffix, there's not need to check the
name against a list of "special" file names, which is slow. Instead, just check
that the name doens't start with a period.
When enabling ForwardToSyslog=yes, the syslog.socket is active when entering
emergency mode. Any log message then triggers the start of rsyslog.service (or
other implementation) along with its dependencies such as local-fs.target and
sysinit.target. As these might fail themselves (e. g. faulty /etc/fstab), this
breaks the emergency mode.
This causes syslog.socket to fail with "Failed to queue service startup job:
Transition is destructive".
Add Conflicts=syslog.socket to emergency.service to make sure the socket is
stopped when emergency.service is started.

ucf is a standard Debian helper for managing configuration file upgrades which
need more interaction or elaborate merging than conffiles managed by dpkg.
Ignore its temporary and backup files similarly to the *.dpkg-* ones to avoid
creating units for them in generators.

The only code path which makes a journal durable is via
journal_file_set_offline().
When we perform a rotate the journal's header->state is being set to
STATE_ARCHIVED prior to journal_file_set_offline() being called.
In journal_file_set_offline(), we short-circuit the entire offline when
f->header->state != STATE_ONLINE.
This all results in none of the journal_file_set_offline() fsync() calls
being reached when rotate archives a journal, so archived journals are
never explicitly made durable.
What we do now is instead of setting the f->header->state to
STATE_ARCHIVED directly in journal_file_rotate() prior to
journal_file_close(), we set an archive flag in f->archive for the
journal_file_set_offline() machinery to honor by committing
STATE_ARCHIVED instead of STATE_OFFLINE when set.
Prior to this, rotated journals were never getting fsync() explicitly
performed on them, since journal_file_set_offline() short-circuited.
Obviously this is undesirable, and depends entirely on the underlying
filesystem as to how much durability was achieved when simply closing
the file.
Note that this problem existed prior to the recent asynchronous fsync
changes, but those changes do facilitate our performing this durable
offline on rotate without blocking, regardless of the underlying
filesystem sync-on-close semantics.
* sd-journal: detect earlier if we try to read an object from an invalid offset
Specifically, detect early if we try to read from offset 0, i.e. are using
uninitialized offset data.
* journal: when dumping journal contents, react nicer to lines we can't read
If journal files are not cleanly closed it might happen that intermediaery
journal entries cannot be read. Handle this nicely, skip over the unreadable
entries, and log a debug message about it; after all we generally follow the
logic that we try to make the best of corrupted files.
* journal-file: always generate the same error when encountering corrupted files
Let's make sure EBADMSG is the one error we throw when we encounter corrupted
data, so that we can neatly test for it.
* journal-file: when iterating through a partly corruped journal file, treat error like EOF
When we linearly iterate through a corrupted journal file, and we encounter a
read error, don't consider this fatal, but merely as EOF condition (and log
about it).
* journal-file: make seeking in corrupted files work
Previously, when we used a bisection table for seeking through a corrupted
file, and the end of the bisection table was corrupted we'd most likely fail
the entire seek operation. Improve the situation: if we encounter invalid
entries in a bisection table, linearly go backwards until we find a working
entry again.

This way the user service will have a loginuid, and it will be inherited by
child services. This shouldn't change anything as far as systemd itself is
concerned, but is nice for various services spawned from by systemd --user
that expect a loginuid.
pam_loginuid(8) says that it should be enabled for "..., crond and atd".
user@.service should behave similarly to those two as far as audit is
concerned.

(Of course, in the long run, we should probably add a copy-based fall-back. But
given how slow that is, this probably requires some asynchronous forking logic
like the CopyFrom() and CopyTo() method calls already implement.)
The "resources" error is really just the generic error we return when
we hit some kind of error and we have no more appropriate error for the case to
return, for example because of some OS error.
Hence, reword the explanation and don't claim any relation to resource limits.
Admittedly, the "resources" service error is a bit of a misnomer, but I figure
it's kind of API now.

Early in journal_file_set_offline() f->header->state is tested to see if
it's != STATE_ONLINE, and since there's no need to do anything if the
journal isn't online, the function simply returned here.
Since moving part of the offlining process to a separate thread, there
are two problems here:
1. We can't simply check f->header->state, because if there is an
offline thread active it may modify f->header->state.
2. Even if the journal is deemed offline, the thread responsible may
still need joining, so a bare return may leak the thread's resources
like its stack.
To address #1, the helper journal_file_is_offlining() is called prior to
accessing f->header->state.
If journal_file_is_offlining() returns true, f->header->state isn't even
checked, because an offlining journal is obviously online, and we'll
just continue with the normal set offline code path.
If journal_file_is_offlining() returns false, then it's safe to check
f->header->state, because the offline_state is beyond the point of
modifying f->header->state, and there's a memory barrier in the helper.
If we find f->header->state is != STATE_ONLINE, then we call the
idempotent journal_file_set_offline_thread_join() on the way out of the
function, to join a potential lingering offline thread.
I am pretty sure we shouldn't carry history sections in man pages, since it's
very hard to keep them correctly updated, the current ones are very
out-of-date, and they tend to make APIs appear unnecessarily complex.
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.

Show the various timestamps in hexadecimal too. This is useful for matching the
timestamps included in cursor strings (which are encoded in hex, too), with the
references in the journal header.
* sd-netlink: permit RTM_DELLINK messages with no ifindex
This is useful for removing network interfaces by name.
* nspawn: explicitly remove veth links we created after use
Sometimes the kernel keeps veth links pinned after the namespace they have been
joined to died. Let's hence explicitly remove veth links after use.
Fixes: #2173
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.
