Our biggest object in libsystemd was a table full of zeros, for the arphdr
names. Let's use a switch (which gcc nicely optimizes for us), instead a
table with a gap between 826 and 65534:
$ ls -l build{,2}/src/basic/a6ba3eb@@basic@sta/arphrd-list.c.o
-rw-rw-r--. 1 zbyszek zbyszek 540232 Sep 22 00:29 build/src/basic/a6ba3eb\@\@basic\@sta/arphrd-list.c.o
-rw-rw-r--. 1 zbyszek zbyszek 20512 Sep 25 11:56 build2/src/basic/a6ba3eb\@\@basic\@sta/arphrd-list.c.o
$ ls -l build{,2}/src/shared/libsystemd-shared-243.so
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 zbyszek zbyszek 6774368 Sep 22 00:29 build/src/shared/libsystemd-shared-243.so
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 zbyszek zbyszek 6254808 Sep 25 12:16 build2/src/shared/libsystemd-shared-243.so
No functional change.
We have the problem that many early boot or late shutdown issues are harder
to solve than they could be because we have no logs. When journald is not
running, messages are redirected to /dev/kmsg. It is also the time when many
things happen in a rapid succession, so we tend to hit the kernel printk
ratelimit fairly reliably. The end result is that we get no logs from the time
where they would be most useful. Thus let's disable the kernels ratelimit.
Once the system is up and running, the ratelimit is not a problem. But during
normal runtime, things also log to journald, and not to /dev/kmsg, so the
ratelimit is not useful. Hence, there doesn't seem to be much point in trying
to restore the ratelimit after boot is finished and journald is up and running.
See kernel's commit 750afe7babd117daabebf4855da18e4418ea845e for the
description of the kenrel interface. Our setting has lower precedence than
explicit configuration on the kenrel command line.
"ratelimit" is a real word, so we don't need to use the other form anywhere.
We had both forms in various places, let's standarize on the shorter and more
correct one.
The RFC states that lifetime (AdvDefaultLifetime) must be at least
MaxRtrAdvInterval (which more or less corresponds to SD_RADV_DEFAULT_MAX_TIMEOUT_USEC
in systemd).
To fulfill this limit, virtually lower MaxRtrAdvInterval and MinRtrAdvInterval
accordingly.
Also check that min is not lower than 3s and max is not lower than 4s.
!r is the same r == 0, so this was short-circuiting the comparison when
streq(a->iff, b->iff) or streq(a->off, b->off). Before the parent commit which
moved those comparisons to the end, this was short-circuiting quite a bit
of the comparison function.
The "Ex" variant was originally only added for ExecStartXYZ= but it makes
sense to have feature parity for the rest of the exec command properties
as well (e.g. ExecReload=, ExecStop=, etc).
It is natural that n_attiributes is less than type. But in that case,
the message does not contain any message about the type. So, we should
not abort execution with assertion, but just return -ENODATA.
