We have had background session class for a long time (since commit
e2acb67baa), but so far the only difference in handling of background
sessions was logging, i.e. we log some messages with LOG_DEBUG for such
sessions.
Previously there were complains [1] about excessive logging for each
time cron session is started. We used to advise user to enable lingering
for users if they want to avoid these log messages. However, on servers
with a lot of users the extra processes that result from lingering just
adds too much overhead. Hence I think that our current handling of
background sessions is not ideal and we should make better use of this
attribute.
This commit introduces a change in default behavior of logind. Logind is
now not going to start user instance of systemd when background session
is created and that should address excessive logging problem for cron
where background class is used by default. When the same user actually
logs in normally then user instance will be started as previously.
Also note that PAM_TTY variable is now always set to some value for PAM
sessions started via PAMName= option. Otherwise we would categorize such
sessions as "background" and user manager won't be started.

NetworkManager takes systemd sources. It gets compiler warnings
related to _fallthrough_. They probably can also affect systemd
itself.
A) on RHEL-7, gcc 4.8.5-44.el7 we get:
../src/libnm-systemd-shared/src/fundamental/macro-fundamental.h:45:22: error: "__clang__" is not defined [-Werror=undef]
#if __GNUC__ >= 7 || __clang__
^
Presumably gcc older than 7 is supported, so fix this.
B) on Ubuntu 18.04, clang 1:6.0-41~exp5~ubuntu1 we get:
../src/libnm-systemd-core/src/libsystemd-network/sd-dhcp6-client.c:746:17: error: declaration does not declare anything [-Werror,-Wmissing-declarations]
_fallthrough_;
^
../src/libnm-systemd-shared/src/fundamental/macro-fundamental.h:46:25: note: expanded from macro '_fallthrough_'
# define _fallthrough_ __attribute__((__fallthrough__))
^
Granted, README comments that clang >= 10 is required. However,
parts of systemd build just fine with older clang. It seems unnecessary
to break this and the fix helps NetworkManager.
Fixes: c0f5d58c9a ('meson: Document why -Wimplicit-fallthrough is not used with clang')
This fixes formatting of JSON real values, and uses C locale for them.
It's kinda interesting that this wasn't noticed before: the C locale
object we allocated was not used, hence doing the dance had zero effect.
This makes "test-varlink" pass again on systems with non-C locale.
(My guess: noone noticed this because "long double" was used before by
the JSON code and that had no locale supporting printer or so?)
We now have a local implementation in string-util-fundamental.c, but
it's useful at a lot of other places, hence let's give it a more
expressive name and share it across the tree.

When we start, the contents of the variable match the name. But then
in the loop, the variable doesn't point at the old head any more. So let's
rename it to something with a plural.
This was a trivial wrapper that didn't provide any added value. With more
complicated structures like strvs, hashmaps, sets, and arrays, it is possible
to have an empty container. But in case of a list, the list is empty only when
the head is missing.
Also, we generally want the positive condition, so we replace many
if (!LIST_IS_EMPTY(x)) with just if (x).
gcc was warning that found_fs_uuid was used unitialized. The issue stemmed from
the call to open(), where gcc seemingly didn't know that errno must be negative.
When that is set, we can drop some unnecessary initializations without warnings.
Fixes a bug introduced by 846f1da465.
The commit 846f1da465 made systemd.unit=
filtered out from the command line. That causes debug-generator does not
work as expected on daemon-reexecute, and we cannot call `systemctl
daemon-reexecute` in our test suite running on nspawn.
Fixes issue reported in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/23851#issuecomment-1170992052.

We have RxBufferSize= and TxBufferSize= in .link files. Let's use the same
abbreviation here. OTOH, "inc" could be short for "increment" or "increase",
let's avoid that.
Same story as before: disabling a non-existent event source shouldn't
need to be guarded by an if. I retained the wrapper so that that we don't
have to say SD_EVENT_OFF in the many places where this is called.
This is a natural use case, and instead of defining a wrapper to do this
for us, let's just make this part of the API. Calling with NULL was not
allowed, so this is not a breaking change to the interface.
(After sd_event_source_is_enabled was originally added, we introduced
sd_event_source_disable_unref() and other similar functions which accept
NULL. So not accepting NULL here is likely to confuse people. Let's just
make the API usable with minimal fuss.)
Before, sd_netlink_message_read() expected to fill a buffer completely,
and would return -EIO if the attribute being read was shorter than the
buffer. This means that the function can be used to "peek" into attributes
(by specifying a short buffer to just read part of the attribute), but
cannot be used to read something into a union without knowing beforehand
which specific field in the union is being filled. That latter operation
seems more useful (messages are short, so we don't really need to do partial
reads), so let's allow reads that don't fill the output buffer completely.
We find this function useful in our code, so no reason not to export it.
I changed the order of last two words in the name to match the arguments.
(With "equal_string" I expected sd_id128_t first, string second, but in
actual use, the second argument is usually a long constant so it's nice
to keep this order of arguments.)
The usual: if we find that function useful, other users of the library
will too. In particular, the v-variants are necessary to build pass-thru
wrappers.
It had two symbols which were not actually exported because they were not
listed in libsystemd.sym. They were also entirely unused in our codebase.
I don't think it makes much sense to export just those two functions, and
it doesn't make to build a string processing library in systemd either.
History of the file shows that it was created in
faaa5728d9 'utf8: export utf8 validation functions as part of sd-bus'
and hasn't gone even one non-trivial change since then ;)
It was added originally in 65f568bbeb. The API is
has stabilized pretty much, and generally follows the usual style for
libsystemd. We've held it as a public-but-private library for almost 10 years,
let's export it.
sd_netlink_sendv() and sd_nfnl_nft_*() are excluded.
libsystemd.so seems to grow by 12k.
This makes it easier to see what the test is doing.
I converted the code to use f-strings. They are already used in other scripts
necessary for build, so IIUC this is OK.
Before we had the following scheme:
mempool_enabled() would check mempool_use_allowed, and
libsystemd-shared would be linked with a .c file that provides mempool_use_allowed=true,
while other things would linked with a different .c file with mempool_use_allowed=false.
In the new scheme, mempool_enabled() itself is a weak symbol. If it's
not found, we assume false. So it only needs to be provided for libsystemd-shared,
where it can return false or true.
test-set-disable-mempool is libshared, so it gets the symbol. But then we
actually disable the mempool via envvar. mempool_enable() is called to check
its return value directly.
When optimizing, the compiler will most likely replace the call to memcmp(),
but at -O0, the code that is emitted builds the call preamble and does the
call. Let's use the same pattern as with sd_id128_is_null() and
sd_id128_is_allf() and avoid the call.
Fixes a bug introduced by 578cd1855b.
The function `data_object_in_hash_table()` calls
`journal_file_move_to_object()` with `OBJECT_DATA`. Hence,
previously obtained pointer to a data object may be now invalid.
Fixes#23794.
The way the UEFI spec defines BOOLEAN is fully compatible to stdbool, so
it is perfectly safe to switch to it. Although any other values than 0/1
are undefined by the spec, we could theoretically have cases where a
sloppy firmware hands us a bad BOOLEAN (since gnu-efi/edk2 declare it
as uint8_t). So any uses where we pass a pointer to BOOLEAN are left
untouched.
The macro is ugly and annoying to use and provides no real benefit. The
only reason to use it would be to allow warnings to go through. But any
EFI APIs we call do not return warning status codes or we do not check
the return value anyway. The only other case would be BS->StartImage,
where we already treat anything other than EFI_SUCCESS as an error
anyway.
This also helps the compiler and code analyzers to better reason about
the code. In particular, this can help reduce use of uninitialized
variable warnings.
This removes the fundamental typedefs in favor of just using standard C
types. These are all used internally anyway and also do not do anything
special to warrant any redefinition to EFI types.
Even for BOOLEAN we can safely use stdbool. The defition from the EFI
specification is fully compatible, including making any other values
than 0/1 as undefined.
The exception is sd_char as those need to be char16_t. The typedef is
moved to string-util-fundamental.h instead.
Currently, the only way to set display name of a graphical session is to
pass it to CreateSession(). But modern display managers like gdm start
the display server as part of the user session, which means that the
display name isn't known yet when the session is being created. Hence,
let's make it possible to set it later.
