If PID 1 debug logging is enabled, it is nice to keep those settings
when switching to systemd-shutdown binary, independently of whether
this was done through /proc/cmdline options, or through runtime
manipulations.
In cryptsetup-generator automatic cleanup had to be replaced
with manual cleanup, and the code gets a bit longer. But existing
code had the issue that it returned negative values from main(),
which was wrong, so should be reworked anyway.
Commit 5ba6985b moves the UNIT_VTABLE(u)->sigchld_event before systemd
actually reaps the zombie. Which leads to service_load_pid_file accepting
zombie as a valid pid.
This fixes timeouts like:
[ 2746.602243] systemd[1]: chronyd.service stop-sigterm timed out. Killing.
[ 2836.852545] systemd[1]: chronyd.service still around after SIGKILL. Ignoring.
[ 2927.102187] systemd[1]: chronyd.service stop-final-sigterm timed out. Killing.
[ 3017.352560] systemd[1]: chronyd.service still around after final SIGKILL. Entering failed mode.
The conf_files_list family accepts an alternate root path to prefix all
directories in the list but path_strv_canonicalize_uniq doesn't use it.
This results in the suspicious behavior of resolving directory symlinks
based on the contents of / instead of the alternate root.
This adds a prefix argument to path_strv_canonicalize which will now
prepend the prefix, if given, to every path in the list. To avoid
answering what a relative path means when called with a root prefix
path_strv_canonicalize is now path_strv_canonicalize_absolute and only
considers absolute paths. Fortunately all users of already call
path_strv_canonicalize with a list of absolute paths.
This allows customization of the arguments used by less. The main
motivation is that some folks might not like having --no-init on every
invocation of less.
This permit to let system administrators decide of the domain of a service.
This can be used with templated units to have each service in a différent
domain ( for example, a per customer database, using MLS or anything ),
or can be used to force a non selinux enabled system (jvm, erlang, etc)
to start in a different domain for each service.
In the parse_env_file_push() and load_env_file_push() functions, there
are two assert() call to check if the key or value parameters are utf8 valid.
If the strings aren't utf8 valid, assert does abort.
These function are used early by systemd to parse some files. For
example '/etc/locale.conf'. In my case this file contained a not utf8
sequence, which is bad, but systemd crashed during the boot, which
is even worse!
The enclosed patch removes the assert and return -EINVAL if the
sequence is invalid. This is possible because the caller of these
function [1] checks the errors.
So the check of an invalid utf8 sequence is still performed, but
systemd doesn't crash anymore and logs the error.

In trying to track down a stupid linker bug, I noticed a bunch of
memset() calls that should be using memzero() to make it more "obvious"
that the options are correct (i.e. 0 is not the length, but the data to
set). So fix up all current calls to memset(foo, 0, length) to
memzero(foo, length).
Current glibc implementation is safe. Kernel does this atomically,
and write is actually implemented through writev. So if write is
async-signal-safe, than writev pretty much must be too.
When set to auto, status will shown when the first ephemeral message
is shown (a job has been running for five seconds). Then until the
boot or shutdown ends, status messages will be shown.
No indication about the switch is done: I think it should be clear
for the user that first the cylon eye and the ephemeral messages appear,
and afterwards messages are displayed.
The initial arming of the event source was still wrong, but now should
really be fixed.
signal(7) provides a list of functions which may be called from a
signal handler. Other functions, which only call those functions and
don't access global memory and are reentrant are also safe.
sd_j_sendv was mostly OK, but would call mkostemp and writev in a
fallback path, which are unsafe.
Being able to call sd_j_sendv in a async-signal-safe way is important
because it allows it be used in signal handlers.
Safety is achieved by replacing mkostemp with open(O_TMPFILE) and an
open-coded writev replacement which uses write. Unfortunately,
O_TMPFILE is only available on kernels >= 3.11. When O_TMPFILE is
unavailable, an open-coded mkostemp is used.

Add new calls sd_bus_open() and sd_bus_default() for connecting to the
starter bus a service was invoked for, or -- if the process is not a
bus-activated service -- the appropriate bus for the scope the process
has been started in.
Similar to PrivateNetwork=, PrivateTmp= introduce PrivateDevices= that
sets up a private /dev with only the API pseudo-devices like /dev/null,
/dev/zero, /dev/random, but not any physical devices in them.
Before, journald would remove journal files until both MaxUse= and
KeepFree= settings would be satisfied. The first one depends (if set
automatically) on the size of the file system and is constant. But
the second one depends on current use of the file system, and a spike
in disk usage would cause journald to delete journal files, trying to
reach usage which would leave 15% of the disk free. This behaviour is
surprising for the user who doesn't expect his logs to be purged when
disk usage goes above 85%, which on a large disk could be some
gigabytes from being full. In addition attempting to keep 15% free
provides an attack vector where filling the disk sufficiently disposes
of almost all logs.
Instead, obey KeepFree= only as a limit on adding additional files.
When replacing old files with new, ignore KeepFree=. This means that
if journal disk usage reached some high point that at some later point
start to violate the KeepFree= constraint, journald will not add files
to go above this point, but it will stay (slightly) below it. When
journald is restarted, it forgets the previous maximum usage value,
and sets the limit based on the current usage, so if disk remains to
be filled, journald might use one journal-file-size less on each
restart, if restarts happen just after rotation. This seems like a
reasonable compromise between implementation complexity and robustness.
