We had both uid-range.h and uid-alloc-range.h. The latter now contains helpers
like {uid,gid}_is_{system,dynamic,container}(), uid_for_system_journal(), so
the existing name is outdated. I think the uid-range.[ch] should stay separate
because it has a bunch of helpers for parsing and printing of uid ranges. So
let's rename as in $subject to better reflect the contents of the file and make
the two sets of files harder to confuse.
We already refuse the other two cursor-related options (--cursor= and
--after-cursor=) with --since=, so let's do the same with
--cursor-file=.
Closes: #20523
When --after-cursor=/--cursor-file= is used together with a journal
filter, we still skipped over the first matching entry even if it wasn't
the entry the cursor points at, thus missing one "valid" entry
completely. Let's fix this by checking if the entry cursor after seeking
matches the user provided cursor, and skip to the next entry only when
the cursors match.
Resolves: #30288
I see myself frequently typing in "journalctl --file=…". That's a lot to
type. Let's add a short switch too. Unfortunately, "-f" and "-F" are
already taken, hence let's pick "-i".
Otherwise we might still use the more restrictive limit when we get to
STDOUT_STREAM_RUNNING, causing unexpected line breaks in the journal
messages.
Follow-up to: 80e9720616Resolves: #29916
Currently empty epochs are not sealed. This allows an attacker to truncate
a sealed log and continue it without any problems showing when verifying the
log.
This partially addresses CVE-2023-31438. One way to extend this change to
address CVE-2023-31438 completely, would be to verify that there is exactly
one seal per epoch (and not sealing when the epoch has not ended yet).
the change also adds a journal-file flag: HEADER_COMPATIBLE_SEALED_CONTINUOUS
this flag indicates that a journal file is sealed continuously and decides whether
any missing crypto epochs should trigger a warning or an error.
Let's install a simple no-op signal handler without SA_RESTART for
SIGINT/SIGTERM, which allows us to interrupt read_one_char() and follow
it up with a proper cleanup, including restoring the vt to the original
state.
Resolves: #29478
We use it for more than just pipe() arrays. For example also for
socketpair(). Hence let's give it a generic name.
Also add EBADF_TRIPLET to mirror this for things like
stdin/stdout/stderr arrays, which we use a bunch of times.
The function isn't necessarily fast (it's O(n)), and there's no reason
to have it defined as inline function, since it's neither fast, nor
entirely trivial.
This is preparation for #28891, which adds a bunch more helpers around
"struct iovec", at which point this really deserves its own .c/.h file.
The idea is that we sooner or later can consider "struct iovec" as an
entirely generic mechanism to reference some binary blob, and is the
go-to type for this purpose whenever we need one.
This allows distros to install configuration file templates in /usr/lib/systemd
for example.
Currently we install "empty" config files in /etc/systemd/. They serve two
purposes:
- The file contains commented-out values that show the default settings.
- It is easier to edit the right file if it is already there, the user doesn't
have to type in the path correctly, and the basic file structure is already in
place so it's easier to edit.
Things that have happened since this approach was put in place:
- We started supporting drop-ins for config files, and drop-ins are the
recommended way to create local configuration overrides.
- We have systemd-analyze cat-config which takes care of iterating over
all possible locations (/etc, /run, /usr, /usr/local) and figuring out
the right file.
- Because of the first two points, systemd-analyze cat-config is much better,
because it takes care of finding all the drop-ins and figuring out the
precedence. Looking at files manually is still possible of course, but not
very convenient.
The disadvantages of the current approach with "empty" files in /etc:
- We clutter up /etc so it's harder to see what the local configuration actually is.
- If a user edits the file, package updates will not override the file (e.g.
systemd.rpm uses %config(noreplace). This means that the "documented defaults"
will become stale over time, if the user ever edits the main config file.
Thus, I think that it's reasonable to:
- Install the main config file to /usr/lib so that it serves as reference for
syntax and option names and default values and is properly updated on package
upgrades.
- Recommend to users to always use drop-ins for configuration and
systemd-analyze cat-config to view the documentation.
This setting makes this change opt-in.
Fixes#18420.
[zjs: add more text to the description]
systemd's own cgroup hierarchy is special to us, we use it to actually
manage processes. Because of that many calls tha apply to cgroups are
only ever called with the SYSTEMD_CGROUP_CONTROLLER as controller
argument. Let's hence remove the argument altogether.
This in particular touches the kill and xattr routines.
This changes no behaviour, we just drop an argument that is always set
to the same value anyway.
This is preparation to eventually getting rid of the cgroupvs1, because
on cgroupvs2 the cgroup paths do not change for different controllers,
there's only a single hierarchy there.
Because journal_file_next_entry_for_data() provides the first entry, while
journal_file_next_entry() actually provides the next entry of the input,
this also renames it to journal_file_move_to_entry_for_data().
Also, previously, on DIRECTION_UP the function did not fall back to the
'extra' entry when all entries linked in the chained array are broken.
This also fixes the issue, and now it fall back to the extra entry.
