This reverts commit 4a01181e46.
This patch broke LOG_TARGET_AUTO, i.e. automatic selection of STDERR if
it is a TTY with a fallback on the journal and kmsg otherwise.
The general rule should probably be:
log_open() -- open the "best" possible logging channel according to
log_target configuration.
log_dispatch() -- don't open any log channels ever, with the exception
of kmsg since that has no drawbacks. And do this only on true errors of
the better log channel, not just when it wasn't opened.
Logs written by journald from the initramfs may be written to a
directory with the name created from a random machine-id. Afterwards,
when the root filesystem has been mounted and machine-id reinitalized,
logs will be written to the directory with a name created from the
proper machine-id. When logs are flushed to /var/log/journal,
everything is copied to one output directory.
When journalctl without '-m' is run after the logs have been flushed
to /var/log/journal, all messages are shown. However, when run while
logs are still in /run/log/journal, those stored under the random
machine-id will not be shown.
Make journalctl behave the same regardless whether persistent storage
has been enabled or not, and slurp all files from /run/log/journal
even without '-m'.
The approach taken is different between the two:
- since there are many files in /usr, but messages appear
only for a tiny subset, the completion is performed
only for stuff shown by journalctl -F _EXE. This makes
sense because the list is already in proper form.
- since it is hard to convert _KERNEL_DEVICE to device
file name, simply all files in /dev/ are used as possible
completions.
Unfortunately zsh completion requires more work and is not
covered by this commit.
The wildcard matching the default loader entry should always be able to point to
the same machine.
So instead of sorting by <distribution>-<kernel-version>-<machine-id>
we better sort by <machine-id>-<kernel-version>.
This reverts commit cb96a2c69a.
It is not a mistake to pass args when -b is specified. They will simply
be passed on to the container's init.
The manpage needs fixing, that's true.
This doesn't need to be passed, as it's handled by libtool. Since the
default for autoconf is --disable-static, this change is effectively a
noop. It only matters if you pass --enable-static, in which case the
static libs for systemd libraries will actually be built.
Nitpicky, but this only affects systemd libs. The override for the
other libs remains since these libs are always loaded dynamically and
never compiled staticly.
