Our journal code is generally supposed to be written in a fashion that
the underlying file can be deallocated any time, i.e. our mmap of it
suddenly becomes all zeroes. The idea is that we catch that when parsing
everything. For that to work safely we need to make sure that when doing
arithmetics or comparisons on values read from the map we don't run into
TTOCTTOU issues when determining validity. Hence we need to copy out the
values before use and operate on the copies. This requires some special
care since the C compiler could suppress our copies as optimization.
Hence use the new READ_NOW() macro to force a copy by using memcpy(),
and use it whenever we start doing an arithmetic operation on it, or
validity checking of multiple steps.
Fixes: #14943
Mappings canbe replaced by all zeroes under our feet if vacuuming
decides to unallocate some file. Hence let's not check for this kind of
stuff in an assert.
(Typically, we should genreate runtime errors in this case, in
particular EBADMSG, which the callers generally look for. But in this
case this is just an extra precaution check anyway, so let's just remove
it.)
Let's be extra careful whenever we return from recvmsg() and see
MSG_CTRUNC set. This generally means we ran into a programming error, as
we didn't size the control buffer large enough. It's an error condition
we should at least log about, or propagate up. Hence do that.
This is particularly important when receiving fds, since for those the
control data can be of any size. In particular on stream sockets that's
nasty, because if we miss an fd because of control data truncation we
cannot recover, we might not even realize that we are one off.
(Also, when failing early, if there's any chance the socket might be
AF_UNIX let's close all received fds, all the time. We got this right
most of the time, but there were a few cases missing. God, UNIX is hard
to use)
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
Let's make it optional whether auditing is enabled at journald start-up
or not.
Note that this only controls whether audit is enabled/disabled in the
kernel. Either way we'll still collect the audit data if it is
generated, i.e. if some other tool enables it, we'll collect it.
Fixes: #959
journal_file_fstat() returns an error if we call it on already unlinked
journal file and hence we never reach remove_file_real() which is the
entire point.
I must have made some mistake while testing the fix that got me thinking
the issue is gone while opposite was true.
Fixes#14695
This regression was introduced in #14913.
The current_file variable can be NULL, as, for example, with the
following commands:
* journalctl --list-boots
* journalctl -b -1 --no-pager
Since current_file is only checked for pointer equality with f, removing
the assertion is safe here.
When having a service which intentionally outputs multiple equal lines,
all these messages might be inserted with the same timestamp.
journalctl has a mechanism to avoid duplicate lines, which might be in
different journal files.
This patch allows duplicate lines, if they are from the same file.
It fully initializes the address structure, so no need for pre-initialization,
and also returns the length of the address, so no need to recalculate using
SOCKADDR_UN_LEN().
socklen_t is unsigned, so let's not use an int for it. (It doesn't matter, but
seems cleaner and more portable to not assume anything about the type.)
.msg_namelen was set to a bogus value before we actually stored the path in the
the structure. sockaddr_un_set_path() returns the length, so just use that.
Fixes#14799.
If we have exit on idle, then operations such as "journalctl
--namespace=foo --rotate" should work even if the journal daemon is
currently not running.
(Note that we don't do activation by varlink for the main instance of
journald, I am not sure the deadlocks it might introduce are worth it)
If we do, we operate on a separate set of logs and runtime objects
The namespace is configured via argv[1].
Fixes: #12123Fixes: #10230#9519
(These latter two issues ask for slightly different stuff, but the
usecases generally can be solved by running separate instances of
journald now, hence also declaring that as "Fixes:")
Let's just use the path that is already stored in JournalStorage,
instead of generating our own. While we are at it, split out the loop
into its own function.
