The SERVFAIL RCODE can be generated for many reasons which may not be related
to lack of feature support. For example, the Stubby resolver generates
SERVFAIL when a request times out. Such transient failures can cause
unnecessary downgrades to both the transaction and the server's feature level.
The consequences of this are especially severe if the server is in DNSSEC
strict mode. In this case repeated downgrades eventually cause the server to
stop resolving entirely with the error "incompatible-server".
To avoid unnecessary downgrades the request should be retried once with the
current level before the transaction's feature level is downgraded.
The commit introduces a callback invoked from log_syntax_internal.
Use it from systemd-analyze to gather a list of units that contain
syntax warnings. A new command line option is added to make use of this.
The new option --recursive-errors takes in three possible modes:
1. yes - which is the default. systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification of the
specified units or any of their dependencies.
3. no - systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification of only the selected unit.
Analyzing and loading any dependencies will be skipped.
4. one - systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification
of only the selected units and their direct dependencies.
Below are two service unit files that I created for the purposes of testing:
1. First, we run the commands on a unit that does not have dependencies but has a non-existing key-value setting (i.e. foo = bar).
> cat <<EOF>testcase.service
[Unit]
foo = bar
[Service]
ExecStart = echo hello
EOF

The MANAGER_TEST_RUN_IGNORE_DEPENDENCIES flag was added in order to allow the caller
to skip the recursive loading of dependency units when loading specific
unit files. This includes the default dependencies, the specified dependencies, the slice.
This will be used by systemd-analyze to allow checking individual unit files in isolation.
There is a ASSERT() macro from gnu-efi, but that does not show any
output to ConOut. Having to do some additional setup just to get
some debug output is tedious and outright difficult on real hardware.
log_error_stall() and log_error_status_stall() will ensure the user has
a chance to catch an error message by stalling and also forcing a
lightred/black color on it. Also, convert several Print() calls to it
since they are actually error messages.
When the flag COPY_ALL_XATTRS is set, it causes the complete set of xattrs
to be copied. If the flag is unset, only xattrs from the "user" namespace
are copied.
Fixes#17178.
Previous implementation is simplified by using the new helper. The new code
does more looping, but considering that it's unlikely that people set more
than a handful of variables through commandline options, this should be OK.
If a variable is specified on the command line, it overrides any automatically
set variable. Effective behaviour was already were like this, because we would
specify two variables, both would be set, and since glibc will return
the first matching entry.
('systemd-socket-activate -E TERM=FOO -l 2000 --inetd -a env' would give
'TERM=FOO TERM=xterm-256color PATH=...', and getenv("TERM") returns "FOO".)
But it's nicer to filter out any duplicate entries and only pass the intended
variable to the child process.
utmp_wall() and utmp_put_dead_process() called setutxent() directly instead of the stub in utmp-wtmp.h and never called endutxent(). This would leave /run/utmp left open by PID 1 or journald. This can be reproduced by e.g. lsof /run/utmp and systemd-cat -p 0 echo test. For utmp_put_dead_process() it would only leave it open if it returned early before calling write_utmp_wtmp()
The effect should be the same, but the code is less verbose.
In particular, the variable was called envp in parts of the code,
but in other parts, we had a local envp variable, and envp was called
env.
systemd-socket-activate has supported such a mode since
5e65c93a43. '--setenv=FOO=$FOO' is a fairly
common use in scripts, and it's nicer to do this automatically without worrying
about quoting and whatnot.
https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/pull/765 added the same to 'mkosi --environment='.
When the root parameter in find_executable_full is set, chase_symlinks prefixes this root
to every check of the path name to find the complete path of the execuatble in case the
path provided is not absolute. This is only done for the non NULL root because otherwise
the chase_symlinks function would alter the behavior of some of the callers which would
in turn alter the outputs in a way that is undesirable. The find_execuatble_full function is
invoked by the verify_executable function in analyze-verify.
Depending on the timing, socat will either get ECONNREFUSED oder EPIPE
from systemd. The latter will cause it to exit(1) and subsequently the
test to fail.
We are not actually interested in the return code of socat though. The
test is supposed to check, whether rate limiting of a socket unit works
properly.
So ignore any failures from the socat invocation and instead check, if
test10.socket is in state "failed" with result "trigger-limit-hit" after
it has been triggered.
TriggerLimitIntervalSec= by default is set to 2s. A "sleep 10" should
give systemd enough time even on slower machines, to reach the trigger
limit.
For better readability, break the test into separate ExecStart lines.
Fixes#19154.
