After discussions with @htejun it appears it's OK now to enable memory
accounting by default for all units without affecting system performance
too badly. facebook has made good experiences with deploying memory
accounting across their infrastructure.
This hence turns MemoryAccounting= from opt-in to opt-out, similar to
how TasksAccounting= is already handled. The other accounting options
remain off, their performance impact is too big still.
The kernel exposes the necessary data in /proc anyway, let's expose it
hence by default.
With this in place "systemctl status -- -.slice" will show accounting
data out-of-the-box now.
Let's make sure we don't clobber the return parameter on failure, to
follow our coding style. Also, break the loop early if we have all
attributes we need.
This also changes the keys parameter to a simple char**, so that we can
use STRV_MAKE() for passing the list of attributes to read.
This also makes it possible to distuingish the case when the whole
attribute file doesn't exist from one key in it missing. In the former
case we return -ENOENT, in the latter we now return -ENXIO.
This adds some paranoia code that moves some of the fds we allocate for
longer periods of times to fds > 2 if they are allocated below this
boundary. This is a paranoid safety thing, in order to avoid that
external code might end up erroneously use our fds under the assumption
they were valid stdin/stdout/stderr. Think: some app closes
stdin/stdout/stderr and then invokes 'fprintf(stderr, …' which causes
writes on our fds.
This both adds the helper to do the moving as well as ports over a
number of users to this new logic. Since we don't want to litter all our
code with invocations of this I tried to strictly focus on fds we keep
open for long periods of times only and only in code that is frequently
loaded into foreign programs (under the assumptions that in our own
codebase we are smart enough to always keep stdin/stdout/stderr
allocated to avoid this pitfall). Specifically this means all code used
by NSS and our sd-xyz API:
1. our logging APIs
2. sd-event
3. sd-bus
4. sd-resolve
5. sd-netlink
This changed was inspired by this:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8075#issuecomment-363689755
This shows that apparently IRL there are programs that do close
stdin/stdout/stderr, and we should accomodate for that.
Note that this won't fix any bugs, this just makes sure that buggy
programs are less likely to interfere with out own code.
This change adds support for controlling the suspend-on-lid-close
behaviour based on the power status as well as whether the machine is
docked or has an external monitor. For backwards compatibility the new
configuration file variable is ignored completely by default, and must
be set explicitly before being considered in any decisions.
This is preparation for emulating the "usage_usec" keyed attribute of
the "cpu.stat" property of the root cgroup from data in /proc. Similar,
for emulating the "memory.current" attribute.
Let's read the PID file after all if there's a potentially unsafe
symlink chain in place. But if we do, then refuse taking the PID if its
outside of the cgroup.
Fixes: #8085
Internally, we encode the root cgroup as empty string. However,
path_compare() is allergic to comparing absolute and relative paths.
Let's clean this up, by always uses "/" as path for the root cgroup when
comparing.
So far we didn't document control, transient, dbus config, or generator paths.
But those paths are visible to users, and they need to understand why systemd
loads units from those paths, and how the precedence hierarchy looks.
The whole thing is a bit messy, since the list of paths is quite long.
I made the tables a bit shorter by combining rows for the alternatives
where $XDG_* is set and the fallback.
In various places, tags are split like <element
param="blah">
this. This is necessary to keep everyting in one logical XML line so that
docbook renders the table properly.
Replaces #8050.

Strictly speaking, online upgrades of user instances through daemon-reexec will
be broken. We can get away with this since
a) reexecs of the user instance are not commonly done, at least package upgrade
scripts don't do this afawk.
b) cgroups aren't delegateable on cgroupsv1 there's little reason to use "systemctl
set-property" for --user mode
It's not good if the paths are in different order. With --user, we expect
more paths, but it must be a strict superset, and the order for the ones
that appear in both sets must be the same.

A test is added so that we don't regress on this.
This doesn't matter that much, because set-property --global does not work,
so at least those paths wouldn't be used automatically. It is still possible
to create such snippets manually, so we better fix this.
There are cases that we want to trigger and settle only specific
commands. For example, let's say at boot time we want to make sure all
the graphics devices are working correctly because it's critical for
booting, but not the USB subsystem (we'll trigger USB events later). So
we do:
udevadm trigger --action="add" --subsystem-match="graphics"
udevadm settle
However, we cannot block the kernel from emitting kernel events from
discovering USB devices. So if any of the USB kernel event was emitted
before the settle command, the settle command would still wait for the
entire queue to complete. And if the USB event takes a long time to be
processed, the system slows down.
The new `settle` option allows the `trigger` command to wait for only
the triggered events, and effectively solves this problem.
CAP_ADMIN does not exist (the closest existing capability name would be
CAP_SYS_ADMIN), and according to man:open(2) and man:capabilities(7),
the capability required to specify O_NOATIME is actually CAP_FOWNER.
If `journalctl` take a long time to process messages, and during that
time journal file rotation occurs, a `journalctl` client will keep
those rotated files open until it calls `sd_journal_process()`, which
typically happens as a result of calling `sd_journal_wait()` below in
the "following" case. By periodically calling `sd_journal_process()`
during the processing loop we shrink the window of time a client
instance has open file descriptors for rotated (deleted) journal
files.
**Warning**
This change does not appear to solve the case of a "paused" output
stream. If somebody is using `journalctl | less` and pauses the
output, then without a background thread periodically listening for
inotify delete events and cleaning up, journal logs will eventually
stop flowing in cases where a journal client with enough open files
causes the "free" disk space threshold to be crossed.
we still invoke ssh unnecessarily when there in incompatible or erreneous input
The fallow-up to finish that would make the code a bit more verbose,
as it would require repeating this bit:
```
r = bus_connect_transport(arg_transport, arg_host, false, &bus);
if (r < 0) {
log_error_errno(r, "Failed to create bus connection: %m");
goto finish;
}
sd_bus_set_allow_interactive_authorization(bus, arg_ask_password);
```
in every verb, after parsing.
v2: add waitpid() to avoid a zombie process, switch to SIGTERM from SIGKILL
v3: refactor, wait in bus_start_address()
