The compression helpers are used both in journal code and in coredump
code, and there's a good chance we'll use them later for other stuff.
Let's hence move them into src/basic/, to make them a proper internal
API we can use from everywhere where that's desirable. (pstore might be
a candidate, for example)
No real code changes, just some moving around, build system
rearrangements, and stripping of journal-def.h inclusion.
No actual code changes, just splitting out of some dev_t handling
related calls from stat-util.[ch], they are quite a number already, and
deserve their own module now I think.
Also, try to settle on the name "devnum" as the name for the concept,
instead of "devno" or "dev" or "devid". "devnum" is the name exported in
udev APIs, hence probably best to stick to that. (this just renames a
few symbols to "devum", local variables are left untouched, to make the
patch not too invasive)
No actual code changes.
The approach to use '''…'''.split() instead of a list of strings was initially
used when converting from automake because it allowed identical blocks of lines
to be used for both, making the conversion easier.
But over the years we have been using normal lists more and more, especially
when there were just a few filenames listed. This converts the rest.
No functional change.
The meson default for static_library() are:
build_by_default=true, install=false. We never interact with the
static libraries, and we only care about them as a stepping-stone towards
the installable executables or libraries. Thus let's only build them if
they are a dependency of something else we are building.
While at it, let's drop install:false, since this appears to be the default.
This change would have fixed the issue with lib_import_common failing
to build too: we wouldn't attempt to build it.
In practice this changes very little, because we generally only declare static
libraries where there's something in the default target that will make use of
them. But it seems to be a better pattern to set build_by_default to false.
Based on the FIPS 198 specification. Not optimized and probably
completely unsafe, to be used only for non-strong-cryptographic
purposes when OpenSSL cannot be used.
libc nftw() shows its age a bit, let's replace it with a more moden
infra that is built around openat(), O_PATH, statx(). This makes the
interface less prone to races and cleans up the API a bit adding
substantially more functionality.
These functions are used pretty much independently of locale, i.e. the
only info relevant is whether th locale is UTF-8 or not. Hence let's
give this its own pair of .c/.h files.
loadavg.h is an internal header of the Linux source repository, and as
such it is licensed as GPLv2-only, without syscall exception.
We use it only for 4 macros, which are simply doing some math calculations
that cannot thus be subject to copyright.
Reimplement the same calculations in another internal header and delete
loadavg.h from our tree.
As far as I can see, we use this to get a list of ARPHRD_* defines (used in
particular for Type= in .link files). If we drop our copy, and build against
old kernel headers, the user will have a shorter list of types available. This
seems OK, and I don't think it's worth carrying our own version of this file
just to have newest possible entries.
7c5b9952c4 recently updated this file, but we'd
have to update it every time the kernel adds new entries. But if we look at
the failure carefully:
src/basic/arphrd-from-name.gperf:65:16: error: ‘ARPHRD_MCTP’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘ARPHRD_FCPP’?
65 | MCTP, ARPHRD_MCTP
| ^~
| ARPHRD_FCPP
we see that the list we were generating was from the system headers, so it was
only as good as the system headers anyway, without the newer entries in our
bundled copy, if there were any. So let's make things simpler by always using
system headers.
And if somebody wants to fix things so that we always have the newest list,
then we should just generate and store the converted list, not the full header.
This is preparation for adding encryption support to the credentials
logic, and we thus would like to add more deps. Let's hence move things
from src/basic/ to src/shared, so that we can rely on the OpenSSL
utilities already in src/shared.
The goal is to move everything that requires selinux or smack
away from src/basic/. This means that src/basic/label.[ch] must move,
which implies btrfs-util.[ch], copy.[ch], and a bunch of other files
which form a cluster of internal use.
This is just moving text around, so there should be no functional difference.
test-blockdev-util is new, because path_is_encrypted() is moved to
blockdev-util.c, and so far we didn't have any tests for code there.
This was added in 88d775b734,
with the apparent intent of using in shared/ and the rest of our code.
It doesn't matter much for our code, since libdl is part of glibc anyway,
but moving it removes one linkage from libsystemd. (libshared was already
linking to libdl explicitly).
fd_duplicate_data_fd() is renamed to copy_data_fd(). This makes
the two functions have nicely similar names.
Now fd-util.[ch] is again about low-level file descriptor manipulations.
copy_data_fd() is a complex function that internally wraps the other
functions in copy.c. I want to move copy.c and the whole cluster of
related code from basic/ to shared/ later on, and this is a preparatory
step for that.
A good chunk of parse-util.[ch] has been about parsing parts per
hundred/thousand/ten-thousand. Let's split that out into its own file.
No code changes, just some shuffling around.
sd-boot has a copy of a subset of codes from libbasic. This makes
sd-boot share the code with libbasic, and dedup the code.
Note, startswith_no_case() is dropped from sd-boot, as
- it is not used,
- the previous implementation is not correct,
- gnu-efi does not have StrniCmp() or so.
The target is update-syscall-tables, so let's call the script
update-syscall-tables.sh to reduce the cognitive overhead when
trying to find the right file.
Upstream uses .text, but this is rather unusual. Let's use .txt as the usual
suffix for text files. This tells various editors and such that the file should
be treated as plain text. I also want to a script to summarize license status,
and having an easy-to-recognize suffix makes this easier.
DNS_HOSTNAME_MAX is used by sd-resolve, but it was defined in
src/shared/dns-domain.h. The library libsystemd should be independent
of source files under src/shared.
Getting the numbers right for all architectures has proven to be a
constant chore. Let's autogenerate the header from the tables that
were imported in one of the previous commits.
Fixes#18074. (Hopefully. I cannot verify this on all architectures.)
To update the lists, or to update the header after template changes:
ninja -C build update-syscall-tables update-syscall-header
Note: the generated file is saved in git. Initially I wanted to only
store the tables in git, and generate the header during each build.
Generation is quick enough, but the header is used in many many
places (wherever missing_syscall.h is included, directly or indirectly),
which means that we would need to declare the dependency in meson, so
the header would be generated early enough. This turned out to be very
noisy. Storing the generated header in version control avoids the hassle.
