This restores show_pid_array() output in legacy locales on the console.
Only one call to get_process_cmdline() is changed, all others retain
utf8-only mode. This affects systemd-cgls, systemctl status, etc, when
working locally.
Calls to get_process_cmdline() that cross a process boundary always use
utf8. It's the callers responsibility to convert this to some encoding that
they use. This means that we always pass utf8 over the bus.
The functions to retrieve and print process cmdlines were based on the
assumption that they contain printable ASCII, and everything else
should be filtered out. That assumption doesn't hold in today's world,
where people are free to use unicode everywhere.
This replaces the custom cmdline reading code with a more generic approach
using utf8_escape_non_printable_full().
For kernel threads, truncation is done on the parenthesized name, so we'll
get "[worker]", "[worker…]", …, "[w…]", "[…", "…" as we reduce the number of
available columns.
This implementation is most likely slower for very long cmdlines, but I don't
think this is very important. The common case is to have short commandlines,
and should print those properly. Absurdly long cmdlines are the exception,
which needs to be handled correctly and safely, but speed is not too important.
Fixes#12532.
v2:
- use size_t for the number of columns. This change propagates into various
other functions that call get_process_cmdline(), increasing the size of the
patch, but the changes are rather trivial.
Audit logs always have _TRANSPORT=audit and no PRIORITY= field set. This means
that they are shown in the default foreground color. There can be quite a lot
of them, and they often repeat the same information that is already logged by
applications, leading to a "wall of text" effect. Let's mark them with a
different color. This splits the logs visually into "normal logs" and "audit
logs".
When we read from keyring, a temporary buffer is allocated in order to
determine the size needed for the entire data. However, when zeroing that area,
we use the data size returned by the read instead of the lesser size allocate
for the buffer.
That will cause memory corruption that causes systemd-cryptsetup to crash
either when a single large password is used or when multiple passwords have
already been pushed to the keyring.

This adds a minimal Varlink (https://varlink.org/) implementation to our
tree. Given that we already have a JSON logic it's an easy thing to add.
Why bother?
We currently have major problems with IPC before dbus-daemon is up, and
in all components that dbus-daemon itself makes use of (such as various
NSS modules to resolve users as well as the journal which dbus-daemon
logs to). Because of that we so far ended up creating various (usually
crappy) work-arounds either coming up with secondary IPC systems or
sharing data statelessly in /run or similar. Let's clean this up, and
instead use a clean, well-defined, broker-less IPC for cases like that.
This is a minimal implementation of Varlink, i.e. the most basic logic
only. Stuff that's missing is left out on purpose: there's no
introspection/validation and there's no name service. It might make
sense to add that later, but for now let's only do the minimum buy-in we
can get away with. In particular as I'd assume that at least initially
we only use this IPC for our internal communication avoiding
introspection and the name service should be fine.
Specifically, I'd expect that we add IPC interfaces to the following
concepts with this scheme:
1. nss-resolve (so that hostname lookups with resolved work before
resolved is up)
2. journald (so that IPC calls to journald don't have to go through
dbus-daemon thus creating a cyclic dependency between journald and
dbus-daemon)
3. nss-systemd (so that dynamic user lookups via PID 1 work sanely even
inside of dbus-daemon, because otherwise we'd want to use dbus to run
dbus which causes deadlocks)
4. networkd (to make sure one can talk to it in the initrd already,
long before dbus is around)
And there might be other cases similar to this.
Unfortunately the warning must be known, or otherwise the pragma generates a
warning or an error. So let's do a meson check for it.
Is it worth doing this to silence the warning? I think so, because apparently
the warning was already emitted by gcc-8.1, and with the recent push in gcc to
catch more such cases, we'll most likely only get more of those.
The fact that strncpy does the truncation is the whole point here, and gcc
shouldn't warn about this. We can avoid the warning and simplify the
whole procedure by directly copying the interesting part.
This wraps a few common steps. It is defined as inline function instead of in a
.c file to avoid having a .c file. With a .c file, we would have three choices:
- either link it into libshared, but then then libshared would have to be
linked to libmount.
- or compile the .c file into each target separately. This has the disdvantage
that configuration of every target has to be updated and stuff will be compiled
multiple times anyway, which is not too different from keeping this in the
header file.
- or create a new convenience library just for this. This also has the disadvantage
that the every target would have to be updated, and a separate library for a
10 line function seems overkill.
By keeping everything in a header file, we compile this a few times, but
otherwise it's the least painful option. The compiler can optimize most of the
function away, because it knows if 'source' is set or not.
It seems better to use just a single parsing algorithm for /proc/self/mountinfo.
Also, unify the naming of variables in all places that use mnt_table_next_fs().
It makes it easier to compare the different call sites.
When shooting down a service with SIGABRT the user might want to have a
much longer stop timeout than on regular stops/shutdowns. Especially in
the face of short stop timeouts the time might not be sufficient to
write huge core dumps before the service is killed.
This commit adds a dedicated (Default)TimeoutAbortSec= timer that is
used when stopping a service via SIGABRT. In all other cases the
existing TimeoutStopSec= is used. The timer value is unset by default
to skip the special handling and use TimeoutStopSec= for state
'stop-watchdog' to keep the old behaviour.
If the service is in state 'stop-watchdog' and the service should be
stopped explicitly we still go to 'stop-sigterm' and re-apply the usual
TimeoutStopSec= timeout.
In cgroup v2 we have protection tunables -- currently MemoryLow and
MemoryMin (there will be more in future for other resources, too). The
design of these protection tunables requires not only intermediate
cgroups to propagate protections, but also the units at the leaf of that
resource's operation to accept it (by setting MemoryLow or MemoryMin).
This makes sense from an low-level API design perspective, but it's a
good idea to also have a higher-level abstraction that can, by default,
propagate these resources to children recursively. In this patch, this
happens by having descendants set memory.low to N if their ancestor has
DefaultMemoryLow=N -- assuming they don't set a separate MemoryLow
value.
Any affected unit can opt out of this propagation by manually setting
`MemoryLow` to some value in its unit configuration. A unit can also
stop further propagation by setting `DefaultMemoryLow=` with no
argument. This removes further propagation in the subtree, but has no
effect on the unit itself (for that, use `MemoryLow=0`).
Our use case in production is simplifying the configuration of machines
which heavily rely on memory protection tunables, but currently require
tweaking a huge number of unit files to make that a reality. This
directive makes that significantly less fragile, and decreases the risk
of misconfiguration.
After this patch is merged, I will implement DefaultMemoryMin= using the
same principles.
