Let's add a catalog entry, make the log record structured, and most
importantly, let's add warning emojis.
Just to underline that this stuff should really go away.
Doesn't really matter since the two unicode symbols are supposedly
equivalent, but let's better follow the unicode recommendations to
prefer greek small letter mu, as per:
https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr25
Typically, in reasonably complex programs we want to realease various
caches (such as glibc allocation caches) in case of memory pressure.
Let's add explicit infrastructure for that to sd-event, that can hook
Linux' Pressure Stall Information (PSI) logic with our event loop.
This adds sd_event_add_memory_pressure() as easy, one-step API to
install an even source that is called under memory pressure.
The parameters which file to watch (the per-cgroup PSI file, or the
system-wide file /proc/pressure/memory) can be configured via env vars.
The idea is that the service manager sooner or later gains controls for
setting this up correctly.
Alternatively to the PSI a similar logic is supported but instead of
waiting for POLLPRI on a procfs/cgroupfs fd we'll wait for POLLIN on
FIFO or AF_UNIX sockets. This is useful for testing, and possibly in
other environments, for example to hook up this protocol directly with
GNOME's low memory monitor.
By default this watches on the cgroup-local PSI so that we aren't
affected by pressure on cgroups we are not related to.
It's useful being able to easily detect if a disk-based clock bump was
done, let's make it a structure message, the same way as acquiring an
NTP fix already is.
Also, set the clock to 1 µs further than the timestamp from the disk,
after all we know that that timestamp was current when it was written,
hence it can't be the right one right now anymore.
Originally, people used "extend a PCR with a measurement" or
"measure some blob into the PCR". In our docs those uses got merged
into "extend a string into a PCR". The meaning is clear to developers, but
it's a very jargony syntax that wouldn't make any sense to somebody who encounters
it the first time. Let's return to the more natural original phrasing.
Also, change various "this is supposed to act as" to "this acts as". If it
doesn't work, we have a bug to fix. This indirection is not useful.
Also, "boot path" → "phase path" and other smaller cleanups.
Usecase: later on we can use this to retroactively adjust log output in
journalctl or similar on systems lacking an RTC: we just have to search
for this sructured log message that indicates the first sync point and
can then retroactively adjust the incorrect timestamps collected before
that.
Let's add a catalog entry explaining further details.
Most importantly though: talk to PID 1 directly, via the private D-Bus
socket, so that this actually works correctly during early boot, where
D-Bus is not around.
Whenever we pick up a new line in /proc/self/mountinfo and want to
synthesize a new mount unit from it, let's say which one it is.
Moreover, downgrade the log message when we encounter a mount point with
an overly long name to LOG_WARNING, since it's generally fine to ignore
such mount points.
Also, attach a catalog entry to explain the situation further.
Prompted-By: #15221
These texts have been slightly misleading previously, as they talked
about units, not jobs, but are actually generated for jobs, not units.
This difference matters as units can change state without a job
requesting that.
Also, the message be02cf6855d2428ba40df7e9d022f03d was particularly
wrong, as it claimed the unit failed, while it actually is the start job
that failed, which is a major difference, as jobs can fail without the
unit actually being placed in a failed state. Let's move this message a
bit up, closed to 39f53479d3a045ac8e11786248231fbf (i.e. the message
seen when a start job finished successfully).
Add LogRateLimitIntervalSec= and LogRateLimitBurst= options for
services. If provided, these values get passed to the journald
client context, and those values are used in the rate limiting
function in the journal over the the journald.conf values.
Part of #10230
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Dec 14 14:10:54 krowka systemd[1]: System is tainted: overflowgid-not-65534
-- Subject: The system is configured in a way that might cause problems
-- Defined-By: systemd
-- Support: https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
--
-- The following "tags" are possible:
-- - "split-usr" — /usr is a separate file system and was not mounted when systemd
-- was booted
-- - "cgroups-missing" — the kernel was compiled without cgroup support or access
-- to expected interface files is resticted
-- - "var-run-bad" — /var/run is not a symlink to /run
-- - "overflowuid-not-65534" — the kernel user ID used for "unknown" users (with
-- NFS or user namespaces) is not 65534
-- - "overflowgid-not-65534" — the kernel group ID used for "unknown" users (with
-- NFS or user namespaces) is not 65534
-- Current system is tagged as overflowgid-not-65534.
Just brief texts for now, so that we have something
(And in the long rung we should beef all this up, and add a test that
every ID listed in sd-messages.h is accompanied by a matching catalog
entry)
This add a new message id for the end of user instance startup.
User manager startup is a different beast then the system startup.
Their descriptions are completely different too. Let's just separate
them.
Partially fixes#3351.
Also remove "successful" from the description, since we don't know if
the startup was successful or not.
coredump had code to check if copy_bytes() hit the max_bytes limit,
and refuse further processing in that case.
But in 84ee096044, the return convention for copy_bytes() was changed
from -EFBIG to 1 for the case when the limit is hit, so the condition
check in coredump couldn't ever trigger.
But it seems that *do* want to process such truncated cores [1].
So change the code to detect truncation properly, but instead of
returning an error, give a nice log entry.

Should fix (or at least alleviate) #3883.
Let's allow distros to change the support URL to expose in catalog entries by
default. It doesn't make sense to direct end-users to the upstream project for
common errors.
This adds a --with-support-url= switch to configure, which allows overriding
the default at build-time.
Fixes: #2516
