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.
The approach to use '''…'''.split() instead of a list of strings was initially
used when converting from automake because it allowed identical blocks of lines
to be used for both, making the conversion easier.
But over the years we have been using normal lists more and more, especially
when there were just a few filenames listed. This converts the rest.
No functional change.
Currently, running "meson build" followed by "meson test -C build"
will result in many failed tests due to missing dependencies. This
commit adds the missing dependencies to make sure no tests fail.
Old meson fails with:
Element not a string: [<Holder: <ExternalProgram 'sh' -> ['/bin/sh']>>, '-c', 'test -n "$DESTDIR" || /bin/journalctl --update-catalog']
I'm doing it as a revert so that it's easy to undo the revert when we require
newer meson. The effect is not so bad, maybe a dozen or so lines about finding
'sh'.
Meson 0.58 has gotten quite bad with emitting a message every time
a quoted command is used:

Let's suffer one message only for each command. Hopefully we can silence
even this when https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/8642 is
resolved.
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.
