This patch is a new attempt to fix the race originally described in issue #9754.
The initial fix (commit ad96887a12) consisted in
spawning a sub process that became the controlling process of the VT and hence
kicked the old controlling process off to make sure that the VT wouldn't have
entered in HUP state while logind restored the VT.
But it introduced a regression (see issue #11269) and thus was reverted. But
unlike it was described in the revert commit message, commit
adb8688b3f alone doen't fix the initial race.
This patch fixes the race in a simpler way by trying to restore the VT a second
time after making sure to re-open it if the first attempt fails.
Indeed if the old controlling process dies before or during the first attempt,
logind will fail to restore the VT. At this point the VT is in HUP state but
we're sure that it won't enter in a HUP state a second time. Therefore we will
retry by re-opening the VT to clear the HUP state and by restoring the VT a
second time, which should be safe this time.

We compile some c++ code for tests. We would simply use the default options for
those. When the previous commit raised the default warning level, we started
getting warnings from c++ code. Let's add the most important options to the c++
command, so that we get a compilation without any warnings again.
I don't think it makes sense to add *all* the options that we add for c to the
c++ flags, because testing them takes quite a while, and the c++ compilations
are for small amounts of code, mostly to check that the headers have compatible
syntax.
Let's bump up the warning level, and not add by -Wextra by hand. This is the
approach recommended by meson. The idea is that all projects should be as
similar as possible to make it easier for users to switch between projects.
With meson-0.52.0-1.module_f31+6771+f5d842eb.noarch I get:
src/test/meson.build:19: WARNING: Overriding previous value of environment variable 'PATH' with a new one
When we're using *prepend*, the whole point is to modify an existing variable,
so meson shouldn't warn. But let's set avoid the warning and shorten things by
setting the final value immediately.
We already handle it specially in get_timezones(), hence we should OK it
here too, even if the timezone file doesn't actually exist.
Prompted by:
https://serverfault.com/questions/991172/invalid-time-zone-utc
(Yes, Ubuntu should install the UTC timezone data unconditionally: it
should not be an option, even if all other timezone data is excluded,
but since it's our business to validate user input but not out business
to validate distros, let's just accept "UTC" unconditionally, it's magic
after all)
We were looking at the wrong variable, and would always crash if this
comparison was reached. Fixes#13965.
Also, fix crash (_cleanup_ called on uninitialized variable) if we failed in
error path.
While at it, let's shorten some messages.
When autoclose is set (kernel default but many distributions reverse the
setting) opening a CD-rom device causes the tray to close.
The function of blkid is to report the current state of the device and
not to change it. Hence it should use O_NONBLOCK when opening the
device to avoid closing a CD-rom tray.
blkid is used liberally in scripts so it can potentially interfere with
the user operating the CD-rom hardware.
[kzak@redhat.com: add O_NONBLOCK also to:
- wipefs
- blkid_new_probe_from_filename()
- blkid_evaluate_tag()]

f5947a5e92 dropped missing.h and
replaced with the more specific headers but did not add
missing_fcntl.h in places that use O_TMPFILE. This is needed for
some older versions of glibc.
Discussed in #13743, the -.service semantic conflicts with the
existing root mount and slice names, making this feature not
uniformly extensible to all types. Change the name to be
<type>.d instead.
Updating to this format also extends the top-level dropin to
unit types.
We want users to use Wants, but we'd describe Requires first and ask users to
look for Wants instead. While at it, let's split the wall of text into sensible
paragraphs: syntax first, followed by semantics and longer description, and
finally hints and comparison to other configuration items last.
The value is obviously bogus, but didn't seem to cause problems so far.
With meson-0.52.0, it causes a hang. The number of aliases is always rather
small (usually just one or two, possibly up to a dozen in a few cases), so
even if this causes some looping, it is strange that it has such a huge impact.
But let's just remove it.
Fixes#13742.
Tested with meson-0.52.0-1.module_f31+6771+f5d842eb.noarch,
meson-0.51.1-1.fc29.noarch.
For all units that aren't timers, if it is activated by another unit,
add the triggering unit under the "TriggeredBy:" header. If a unit can
trigger other units, print the units it triggers other the "Triggers:"
header.
