The main reason we need to apply a whole lot of logic to the section
conversion logic is because PE sections have to be aligned to the page
size (although, currently not even EDK2 enforces this). The process of
achieving this with a linker script is fraught with errors, they are a
pain to set up correctly and suck in general. They are also not
supported by mold, which requires us to forcibly use bfd, which also
means that linker feature detection is easily at odds as meson has a
differnt idea of what linker is in use.
Instead of forcing a manual ELF segment layout with a linker script we
just let the linker do its thing. We then simply copy/concatenate the
sections while observing proper page boundaries.
Note that we could just copy the ELF load *segments* directly and
achieve the same result. Doing this manually allows us to strip sections
we don't need at runtime like the dynamic linking information (the
elf2efi conversion is effectively the dynamic loader).
Important sections like .sbat that we emit directly from code will
currently *not* be exposed as individual PE sections as they are
contained within the ELF segments. A future commit will fix this.
This also adds an ignore list, which currently contains the whole API as of
version 250, since that's the base we used for dbus interfaces.

This conceptually reverts e95acdfe1d,
but the actual contents of the script are taken from the command invocation
in meson with all the updates that happened in the meantime.
One small change is that I replaced () by {}: this avoids one subprocess spawn.
People were worried about the cost of vcs_tag(), and this microoptimization may
help a bit. I measured the speed on machine, and noop rebuilds are still about
100–120 ms.
The logic is entirely moved to the script. This makes the meson config simpler
and also makes it easier to use it externally.
The script is needed for in-place rpm builds, see README.build-in-place.md [1],
where it is invoked from the spec file to determine the project version.

Now that we use meson feature options for our dependencies, we can just
rely on '--auto-features=disabled' to do the same. One benefit of this
is that specific features can still be force-enabled by overriding it
with the appropriate '-Dfeature=enabled' flag.
The two remaining uses for skip-deps can simply rely on their default
logic that sets the value to 'no' when the dependency is disabled.
Many Chromium projects have moved from 'master' to 'main', where
'master' is no longer updated. Point at HEAD instead, which should
always represent the default branch.
I don't actually rerun/regenerate the database, since I don't really run
systemd environments to test that update on.
The PE header size calculation failed to take the PE magic and coff
header size into account, which will lead to header truncation if we are
writing only 5 sections.
CentOS 8 ships python 3.6 so let's try and stay compatible with that
since the only feature we're using that requires python 3.9 is the
streamlined type annotations which are trivial to convert back to
the older stuff to stay compatible with python 3.6.
The entries are sorted by speed. Some fields are left empty when there is no
clear value to use. The table is much longer now, but I think it's better to
document the allowed values, even if some are not terribly useful.
Fixes#26256.
At least shim will choke on an empty relocation section when loading the
binary. Note that the binary is still considered relocatable (just with
no base relocations to apply) as we do not set the
IMAGE_FILE_RELOCS_STRIPPED DLL characteristic.
Instead of /home/zbyszek/src/systemd-work/build/../src/xdg-autostart-generator/xdg-autostart-service.h:11,
print just src/xdg-autostart-generator/xdg-autostart-service.h:11.
This is a bit annoying that this requires so much verbosity, but the output
with the full names was too annoying.
This is a little helper I used when preparing the tests for auxv
parsing. Just looking at hexdump output is pretty hard. We could
enhance it to display some specific data types better.
This adds back sd-boot builds by using meson compile targets directly.
We can do this now, because userspace binaries use the special
dependency that allows us to easily separate flags, so that we don't
pass anything to EFI builds that shouldn't be passed.
Additionally, we pass a bunch of flags to hopefully disable/override any
distro provided flags that should not be used for EFI binaries.
Fixes: #12275
This drops all mentions of gnu-efi and its manual build machinery. A
future commit will bring bootloader builds back. A new bootloader meson
option is now used to control whether to build sd-boot and its userspace
tooling.
In 6abe882bae the renderer was made to
unconditionally append a newline to output. This works, but is ugly. A nicer
solution is to tell jinja2 to not strip the newline in the first place, via
keep_trailing_newline=True. It seems that the result is unchanged because all
our source files have exactly one trailing newline.
Also, enable lstrip_blocks=True. This would cause whitespace on the line before
an {%if block to be automatically stripped. It seems reasonable to enable that
if trim_blocks=True.
Overall, no change is expected, though I didn't test combinations of
configurations, so there might be a change in some cases. But now the rules of
rendering are more logical, e.g. we should be able to indent nested conditional
statements without getting unexpected whitespace in the output.
(The one case that is left unchanged is '< <(subcommand)'.)
This way, the style with no gap was already dominant. This way, the reader
immediately knows that ' < ' is a comparison operator and ' << ' is a shift.
In a few cases, replace custom EOF replacement by just EOF. There is no point
in using someting like "_EOL" unless "EOF" appears in the text.
Since the files with generated directives are now automatically
generated during build, they're now under the respective build directory
which the current oss-fuzz CI script didn't account for.
Follow-up to: #24958Resolves: #25859
We generate a "version string" that is reported by various tools. This patch
changes this version string to use the characters specified for the version
string in the Boot Loader Specification. We start using the special characters
we have in the spec for this exact purpose and thus fix version comparisons.
We also stop using '+' which is not part of the allowed charset and is used for
boot attempt counting and should not be part of the version string.
The version string is (among other places) used in sd-boot and the comparison
result is used by 'bootctl update' to decide whether to install a new binary.
Before, because 'nn-rc1' compares higher than 'nn', we would refuse to upgrade
pre-release versions.
The boot loader is the primary motivation. I'm not aware of programatic version
comparisons in other places, but it makes sense to use the same versions string
everywhere.
(This patch effectively only matters for non-distro builds, because distro
builds presumably use -Dversion-tag to set something meaningful. Ideally, those
version strings are compatible with our version strings, but this is outside of
our control.)
The lists of directives for fuzzer tests are maintained manually in the
repo. There is a tools/check-directives.sh script that runs during test
phase and reports stale directive lists.
Let's rework the script into a generator so that these directive files
are created on-the-flight and needn't be updated whenever a unit file
directives change. The scripts is rewritten in Python to get rid of gawk
dependency and each generated file is a separate meson target so that
incremental builds refresh what is just necessary (and parallelize
(negligible)).
Note: test/fuzz/fuzz-unit-file/directives-all.slice is kept since there
is not automated way to generate it (it is not covered by the check
script neither).
We're already using C.UTF-8 as the default locale for nspawn. Let's
make the same change for the default-locale option instead of deciding
what to use based on the locale used by the host system. Users can
still override the locale using the default-locale option if needed.
No need to involve a trivial shell script for this.
We could call the compiler directly, but test() expects arguments
to be passed separately and cc.cmd_array() can contain arguments
itself. Using env is easier than manually slicing the array because
meson has no builtins for that.
Bash will generate a very nice message for us:
/tmp/ff.sh: line 1: SOMEVAR: parameter null or not set
Let's save some keystrokes by not replacing this with our own inferior
messages.
GIT_VERSION is not available as a config.h variable, because it's rendered
into version.h during builds. Let's rework jinja2 rendering to also
parse version.h. No functional change, the new variable is so far unused.
I guess this will make partial rebuilds a bit slower, but it's useful
to be able to use the full version string.
This is very similar to (and directly based on) the test for --help. I think
it's nice to do this: the test is very quick, but it'll catch cases where we
forgot to hook up the option, or forgot to exit after printing --version, and
it'll also increase our test coverage a bit.
It seems that --invert-grep used to affect --author, but now it doesn't (with
git-2.35.1-1.fc36.x86_64), so effectively we would only show the one entry that
was supposed to be filtered out.
When we do mkdir, we should just use 0o777 and let the umask take care of the
rest. Specifying an explicit mode is inappropriate. And when touching the code,
let's replace black madness with normal python style.
It's like CIFuzz but unlike CIFuzz it's compatible with forks and
it should make it possible to run the fuzzers to make sure that
patches backported to them are backported correctly without introducing
new bugs and regressions.
It was copy-pasted directly from OSS-Fuzz where it makes sense to
kind of strip binaries to get nice backtraces but when the fuzzers
are built and run locally with gdb it would be nice to have a little
bit more than that.
It was initially discovered in elfutils where I put the same flags
and was surprised when I couldn't run the fuzzer comfortably step
by step, which led to the same change there: https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/7092
:-)
The scheme is very similar to libsystemd-shared.so: instead of building a
static library, we build a shared library from the same objects and link the
two users to it. Both systemd and systemd-analyze consist mostly of the fairly
big code in libcore, so we save a bit on the installation:
(-0g, no strip)
-rwxr-xr-x 5238864 Dec 14 12:52 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 5399600 Dec 14 12:52 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 244912 Dec 14 13:17 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 461224 Dec 14 13:17 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 5271568 Dec 14 13:17 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-core-250.so
(-0g, strip)
-rwxr-xr-x 2522080 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 2604160 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst1/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 113304 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 207656 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/bin/systemd-analyze
-rwxr-xr-x 2648520 Dec 14 13:19 /var/tmp/inst2/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-core-250.so
So for systemd itself we grow a bit (2522080 → 2648520+113304=2761824), but
overall we save. The most is saved on all the test files that link to libcore,
if they are installed, because there's 15 of them:
$ du -s /var/tmp/inst?
220096 /var/tmp/inst1
122960 /var/tmp/inst2
I also considered making systemd-analyze a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
and turning systemd into a multicall binary. We did something like this with
udevd and udevadm. But that solution doesn't fit well in this case.
systemd-analyze has a bunch of functionality that is not used in systemd,
so the systemd binary would need to grow quite a bit. And we're likely to
add new types of verification or introspection features in analyze, and this
baggage would only grow. In addition, there are the test binaries which also
benefit from this.
00db9a114e ("docs: generate table from header using a script") got the
descriptions for the partition types mixed up. After that change, the
spec claimed, for example, that the /usr partition should contain
"dm-verity integrity hash data for the matching root partition", and
that the /usr verity partition should be of type "Any native, optionally
in LUKS". This made the spec an extremely confusing read before I
figured out what must have happened!
I've gone through the table as it existed prior to 00db9a114e, and moved
the descriptions around in the script that generates the table until
they matched up with what they used to be. Then I regenerated the
table from the fixed script.
This adds a helper script:
$ python3 tools/list-discoverable-partitions.py <src/shared/gpt.h
<!-- generated with tools/list-discoverable-partitions.py -->
| Partition Type UUID | Name | Allowed File Systems | Explanation |
|---------------------|------|----------------------|-------------|
| _Root Partition (Alpha)_ | `6523f8ae-3eb1-4e2a-a05a-18b695ae656f` | [Root Partition] | [Root Partition more] |
| _Root Partition (ARC)_ | `d27f46ed-2919-4cb8-bd25-9531f3c16534` | ditto | ditto |
...
The output can be pasted into the markdown file. I think this works better than
trying to match the two lists by hand.
When using "capture : true" in custom_target()s the mode of the source
file is not preserved when the generated file is not installed and so
needs to be tweaked manually. Switch from output capture to creating the
target file and copy the permissions from the input file.

Imports are sorted in the usual fashion: stdlib first.
literal_eval() parses string/numbers/lists/sets/dicts, and nothing else, while
eval will execute any python code. Using literal_eval() is generally more
correct, because it avoids the risk of side effects from the parsed expression.
In this case, we generate the parsed strings ourselves, so it's very unlikely
to have anything unexpected in the expressions. But let's do the correct thing
anyway.
