On timejumps, including suspend, timer_time_change() calls for a
re-calculation of the next elapse. Sadly I'm not quite sure what the
intended effect of this was! Because it was not managing to fire
OnCalendar= timers which fired during the suspend... unless the timer had
already fired once before.
Reported, entirely correctly as far as I can see, on stackexchange:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/351829/systemd-timer-that-expired-while-suspended
/* If we know the last time this was
* triggered, schedule the job based relative
- * to that. If we don't just start from
- * now. */
+ * to that. If we don't, just start from
+ * the activation time. */
The same code is called for both the initial calculation and this
re-calculation. If we're _not_ already active, then this is before the
activation time has been recorded in the unit, so just use the current
time as before. The new code is mechanically adapted from the same
logic for `OnActiveSec=` (case TIMER_ACTIVE in the code which follows).
Tested with `date --set`.
Motivations:
* Rotate monitoring data from Atop into files which are named per-day.
Fedora currently implements this with a cron job that runs at midnight,
but that didn't handle suspend correctly either.
* unbound-anchor.timer on Fedora, is used to update DNSSEC "root trust
anchor" daily, before the TTL expires. It uses OnCalendar=daily
AccuracySec=24h. Which is a bit suspect because the TTL is 2 days, but I
think it has the right general idea.
None of the other timer settings are correct, because they would not
account for time spent in suspend. Unless you set WakeSystem
(this feature is currently undocumented).
* So in general, we can expect to see people using OnCalendar= for the same
cases as cron.daily and cron.monthly. Which use anacron to keep track of
jobs which should be run even if the system was down at the time.
Timers which are configured to run more frequently than that, are
unlikely to mind if they get run slightly more often that the writer
realized, relative to the amount of time the system was really running.
* From the user report above: "I only want to use remind to show a desktop
notification, it seems excessive to wake up the computer for that. Also,
I would like to get the reminder first thing in the morning, so the
OnActiveSec doesn't help with that."
We have two variables `b` and `base`. `b` is declared within limited
scope; `base` is declared at the top of the function. However `base`
is actually only used within a scope which is exclusive of `b`. Clarify
by moving `base` inside the limited scope as well.
(Also `base` doesn't need initializing any more than `b` does. The
declaration of `base` is now immediately followed by a case analysis of
`v->base`, which serves almost exclusively to determine the value of
`base`).
If any devices are marked with 'SYSTEMD_READY=0' then we shouldn't run any
btrfs check on them.
Indeed there's no point in running "btrfs ready" on devices that already have
SYSTEMD_READY=0 set. Most probably such devices are members of a higher layer
aggregate device such as dm-multipath or software RAID. Doing IO on them wastes
time at best, and may cause delays, timeouts, or even hangs at worst (think
active-passive multipath or degraded RAID, for example).
It was initially reported at:

The script shouldn't rely on a previous script exiting with a status code
that prevents it to be executed. Instead, should check if the destination
directory for the BLS kernel image exists and exit otherwise.
Let's include the command line to use to get the requested output. This
makes it easy to copy/paste the command line out, and add "--in-place"
to actually apply the changes "run-coccinelle.sh" outputs.
At various places we only want to close fds if they are not
stdin/stdout/stderr, i.e. fds 0, 1, 2. Let's add a unified helper call
for that, and port everything over.
A runaway string should still be returned by the code that splits on
commas, so add a '?' to the regex so that the last '"?' in a string
still produces a valid block for the split code.
Tested:
ACTION=="remove\"GOTO=""
Which then produced:
$ test/rule-syntax-check.py src/login/70-uaccess.rules
# looking at src/login/70-uaccess.rules
Invalid line src/login/70-uaccess.rules:10: ACTION=="remove\"GOTO=""
clause: ACTION=="remove\"GOTO=""
Using a regex to match the groups is smarter than the split(',') that
would break in those cases.
Tested:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:060101:*,*:070202:*", TAG+="uaccess"
Rule checker doesn't break there after this commit.
Add support to backslash-escaped double quote inside a string.
Tested by modifying src/login/70-uaccess.rules to include:
ACTION=="remove" it", GOTO="uaccess_end"
And had the rule checker complain about it:
$ test/rule-syntax-check.py src/login/70-uaccess.rules
# looking at src/login/70-uaccess.rules
Invalid line src/login/70-uaccess.rules:10: ACTION=="remove" it", GOTO="uaccess_end"
clause: ACTION=="remove" it"
This reworks system call filter parsing, and replaces a couple of "bool"
function arguments by a single flags parameter.
This shouldn't change behaviour, except for one case: when we
recursively call our parsing function on our own syscall list, then
we'll lower the log level to LOG_DEBUG from LOG_WARNING, because at that
point things are just a problem in our own code rather than in the user
configuration we are parsing, and we shouldn't hence generate confusing
warnings about syntax errors.
Fixes: #8261
It doesn't work, spits out only rubbish and was already excluded of
run-coccinelle.sh. It's a pitty it doesn't work, but let's drop this
dead piece of code for now.
I figure sooneror later we'll have more of these docs, hence let's give
them a clean place to be.
This leaves NEWS and README/README.md as well as the LICENSE texts in
the root directory of the project since that appears to be customary for
Free Software projects.
This is true since commit 7e760b79ad.
Note that the changes in the regex expressions relies on the fact that the
script assumes that the comma separator is mandatory.
Add a comment in the script to clarify this.
In udev man page, "PROGRAM" key is part of the keys which are used for
matching purposes so it should only be used with the compare operator "==".
Actually it doesn't really make sense to assign it a value.
udev code allows both "=" and "==" for PROGRAM and both are handled the same
way but for consistencies it's better to have only the compare operator allowed
by the rule syntax checker.
No rules shipped by systemd use PROGRAM key so nothing need to be changed in
our rule files.
rule-syntax-check.py failed with the following error:
$ ./test/rule-syntax-check.py ./src/login/70-uaccess.rules
Invalid line ./src/login/70-uaccess.rules:31: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", TAG+="uaccess" OPTIONS+="static_node=snd/timer", OPTIONS+="static_node=snd/seq"
clause: TAG+="uaccess" OPTIONS+="static_node=snd/timer"
The comma is actually optional but the script makes it mandatory which seems a
good thing since it improves readability.
There isn't much difference, but in general we prefer to use the standard
functions. glibc provides reallocarray since version 2.26.
I moved explicit_bzero is configure test to the bottom, so that the two stdlib
functions are at the bottom.
