Since bb28e68477 parsing failures of
certain unit file settings will result in load failures of units. This
introduces a new load state "bad-setting" that is entered in precisely
this case.
With this addition error messages on bad settings should be a lot more
explicit, as we don't have to show some generic "errno" error in that
case, but can explicitly say that a bad setting is at fault.
Internally this unit load state is entered as soon as any configuration
loader call returns ENOEXEC. Hence: config parser calls should return
ENOEXEC now for such essential unit file settings. Turns out, they
generally already do.
Fixes: #9107
The load_error is only valid in some load_state cases, lets generate
prettier messages for other cases too, by reusing the
bus_unit_validate_load_state() call which does jus that.
Clients (such as systemctl) ignored LoadError unles LoadState was
"error" before. With this change they could even show LoadError in other
cases and it would show a useful name.
Let's use a switch() statement, cover more cases with pretty messages.
Also let's rename it to "validate", as that's more specific that
"check", as it implies checking for a "valid"/"good" state, which is
what this function does.
This is mostly fall-out from d1a1f0aaf0,
however some cases are older bugs.
There might be more issues lurking, this was a simple grep for "%m"
across the tree, with all lines removed that mention "errno" at all.
Previously the enumerate() callback defined for each unit type would do
two things:
1. It would create perpetual units (i.e. -.slice, system.slice, -.mount and
init.scope)
2. It would enumerate units from /proc/self/mountinfo, /proc/swaps and
the udev database
With this change these two parts are split into two seperate methods:
enumerate() now only does #2, while enumerate_perpetual() is responsible
for #1. Why make this change? Well, perpetual units should have a
slightly different effect that those found through enumeration: as
perpetual units should be up unconditionally, perpetually and thus never
change state, they should also not pull in deps by their state changing,
not even when the state is first set to active. Thus, their state is
generally initialized through the per-device coldplug() method in
similar fashion to the deserialized state from a previous run would be
put into place. OTOH units found through regular enumeration should
result in state changes (and thus pull in deps due to state changes),
hence their state should be put in effect in the catchup() method
instead. Hence, given this difference, let's also separate the
functions, so that the rule is:
1. What is created in enumerate_perpetual() should be started in
coldplug()
2. What is created in enumerate() should be started in catchup().
This reworks how device units are "powered on".
This makes sure that any device changes that might have happened while
we were restarting/reloading will be noticed properly. For that we'll
now properly serialize/deserialize both the device unit state and the
device "found" flags, and restore these initially in the "coldplug"
phase of the manager deserialization. While enumerating the udev devices
during startup we'll put together a new "found" flags mask, which we'll
the switch to in the "catchup" phase of the manager deserialization,
which follows the "coldplug" phase.
Note that during the "coldplug" phase no unit state change events are
generated, which is different for the "catchall" phase which will do
that. Thus we correctly make sure that the deserialized state won't pull
in new deps, but any device's change while we were reloading would.

This is very similar to the existing unit method coldplug() but is
called a bit later. The idea is that that coldplug() restores the unit
state from before any prior reload/restart, i.e. puts the deserialized
state in effect. The catchup() call is then called a bit later, to
catch up with the system state for which we missed notifications while
we were reloading. This is only really useful for mount, swap and device
mount points were we should be careful to generate all missing unit
state change events (i.e. call unit_notify() appropriately) for
everything that happened while we were reloading.
let's drop the "now" argument, it's exactly what MANAGER_IS_RUNNING()
returns, hence let's use that instead to simplify things.
Moreover, let's change the add/found argument pair to become found/mask,
which allows us to change multiple flags at the same time into opposing
directions, which will be useful later on.
Also, let's change the return type to void. It's a notifier call where
callers will ignore the return value anyway as it is nothing actionable.
Should not change behaviour.
It's a bit prettier that day as the function won't silently overwrite
any possibly pre-initialized field, and destroy it right before we
allocate a new event source.
Scope units don't have a main or control process we can watch, hence
let's explicitly watch the PIDs contained in them early on, just to make
things more robust and have at least something to watch.
This reworks how systemd tracks processes on cgroupv1 systems where
cgroup notification is not reliable. Previously, whenever we had reason
to believe that new processes showed up or got removed we'd scan the
cgroup of the scope or service unit for new processes, and would tidy up
the list of PIDs previously watched. This scanning is relatively slow,
and does not scale well. With this change behaviour is changed: instead
of scanning for new/removed processes right away we do this work in a
per-unit deferred event loop job. This event source is scheduled at a
very low priority, so that it is executed when we have time but does not
starve other event sources. This has two benefits: this expensive work is
coalesced, if events happen in quick succession, and we won't delay
SIGCHLD handling for too long.
This patch basically replaces all direct invocation of
unit_watch_all_pids() in scope.c and service.c with invocations of the
new unit_enqueue_rewatch_pids() call which just enqueues a request of
watching/tidying up the PID sets (with one exception: in
scope_enter_signal() and service_enter_signal() we'll still do
unit_watch_all_pids() synchronously first, since we really want to know
all processes we are about to kill so that we can track them properly.
Moreover, all direct invocations of unit_tidy_watch_pids() and
unit_synthesize_cgroup_empty_event() are removed too, when the
unit_enqueue_rewatch_pids() call is invoked, as the queued job will run
those operations too.
All of this is done on cgroupsv1 systems only, and is disabled on
cgroupsv2 systems as cgroup-empty notifications are reliable there, and
we do not need SIGCHLD events to track processes there.

This way we don't need to repeat the argument twice.
I didn't replace all instances. I think it's better to leave out:
- asserts
- comparisons like x & y == x, which are mathematically equivalent, but
here we aren't checking if flags are set, but if the argument fits in the
flags.
Previously, we'd not care about failures that were seen earlier and
remain in "exited" state. This could be triggered if the main process of
a service failed while ExecStartPost= was still running, as in that case
we'd not immediately act on the main process failure because we needed
to wait for ExecStartPost= to finish, before acting on it.
