Let's be explicit, and always send the messages from our UID and never
our EUID. Previously this behaviour was conditionalized only on whether
the PID was specified, which made this non-obvious.
log.h really should only include the bare minimum of other headers, as
it is really pulled into pretty much everything else and already in
itself one of the most basic pieces of code we have.
Let's hence drop inclusion of:
1. sd-id128.h because it's entirely unneeded in current log.h
2. errno.h, dito.
3. sys/signalfd.h which we can replace by a simple struct forward
declaration
4. process-util.h which was needed for getpid_cached() which we now hide
in a funciton log_emergency_level() instead, which nicely abstracts
the details away.
5. sys/socket.h which was needed for struct iovec, but a simple struct
forward declaration suffices for that too.
Ultimately this actually makes our source tree larger (since users of
the functionality above must now include it themselves, log.h won't do
that for them), but I think it helps to untangle our web of includes a
tiny bit.
(Background: I'd like to isolate the generic bits of src/basic/ enough
so that we can do a git submodule import into casync for it)
Let's include netinet/in.h instead of linux/in6.h, as the former is the
official libc location for these definitions, and the latter is a
linux-specific version that conflicts.
This hopefully makes systemd compile on current Semaphore again.
This takes e410b07d2a into consideration,
but makes us use glibc rather than kernel headers.
While we are at it, let's also sort our #include lines. Since kernel
headers are notoriously crappy we won't strictly order them globally,
but first include non-kernel headers in a sorted way, and then include
kernel headers in a somewhat sorted way (i.e. generic stuff first and
somewhat alphabetical, and specific stuff last)
This also adds the ability to incorporate arrays into netlink messages
and to determine when a netlink message is too big, used by some generic
netlink protocols.
When /sys is a symlink to the sysfs mountpoint, e.g. /path/to/sysfs.
Then, device->syspath was set to like /path/to/sysfs/devices/foo/baz.
This converts the path to /sys/devices/foo/baz.
Fixes#7676.
This is unused since kdbus is gone, hence remove this too. This permits
us to get rid of sd_bus_send_internal() and just implement sd_bus_send()
directly.
This is useful on direct connections to generate messages with valid
sender fields.
This is particularly useful for services that are accessible both
through direct connections and the broker, as it allows clients to
install matches on the sender service name, and they work the same in
both cases.
This way sd_bus_call_method_async() (which is just a wrapper around
sd_bus_call_async()) can be used to put method calls together that
expect no reply.
With this new API sd-bus can synthesize a local "Connected" signal when
the connection is fully established. It mirrors the local "Disconnected"
signal that is already generated when the connection is terminated. This
is useful to be notified when connection setup is done, in order to
start method calls then, in particular when using "slow" connection
methods (for example slow TCP, or most importantly the "watch_bind"
inotify logic).
Note that one could also use hook into the initial NameAcquired signal
received from the bus broker, but that scheme works only if we actually
connect to a bus. The benefit of "Connected" OTOH is that it works with
any kind of connection.
Ideally, we'd just generate this message unconditionally, but in order
not to break clients that do not expect this message it is opt-in.
This new call is much light sd_bus_is_open(), but returns true only if
the connection is fully set up, i.e. after we finished with the
authentication and Hello() phase. This API is useful for clients in
particular when using the "watch_bind" feature, as that way it can be
determined in advance whether it makes sense to sync on some operation.
Let's directly reference /run instead, so that we can work without /var
being around, or with /var/run being incorrectly set up.
Note that we keep the old socket path in place when referencing the
system bus of containers, as they might be foreign operating systems,
that still don't have adopted /run, and where it makes sense to use the
standardized name instead. On local systems, we insist on /run being set
up properly however, hence this limitation does not apply.
Also, get rid of the UNIX_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS and
UNIX_USER_BUS_ADDRESS_FMT defines. They had a purpose when we still did
kdbus, as we then had to support two different backends. But since
that's gone, we don't need this indirection anymore, hence settle on a
one define only.
Let's remove a number of synchronization points from our service
startups: let's drop synchronous match installation, and let's opt for
asynchronous instead.
Also, let's use sd_bus_match_signal() instead of sd_bus_add_match()
where we can.
These are convenience helpers that hide the match string logic (which we
probably should never have exposed), and instead just takes regular C
arguments.
We usually enqueue a number of these calls on each service
initialization. Let's do this asynchronously, and thus remove
synchronization points. This improves both performance behaviour and
reduces the chances to deadlock.
We currently wait for the RemoveMatch() reply, but then ignore what it
actually says. Let's optimize this a bit, and not even ask for an answer
back: just enqueue the RemoveMatch() operation, and do not request not
wait for any answer.
They do the same thing as their synchronous counterparts, but only
enqueue the operation, thus removing synchronization points during
service initialization.
If the callback function is passed as NULL we'll fallback to generic
implementations of the reply handlers, that terminate the connection if
the requested name cannot be acquired, under the assumption that not
being able to acquire the name is a technical problem.
When kdbus was still around we always had two implementations of the
various control calls: one for dbus1 and one for kdbus. Let'sget rid of
this, simplify things, and just merge the wrappers that used to
multiplex this with the implementations.
No change in behaviour, just some merging of functions
Currently, reply callback timeouts are started the instant the method
calls are enqueued, which can be very early on. For example, the Hello()
method call is enqueued right when sd_bus_start() is called, i.e. before
the socket connection and everything is established.
With this change we instead start the method timeout the moment we
actually leave the authentication phase of the connection. This way, the
timeout the kernel applies on socket connecting, and we apply on the
authentication phase no longer runs in parallel to the Hello() method
call, but all three run serially one after the other, which is
definitely a cleaner approach.
Moreover, this makes the "watch bind" feature a lot more useful, as it
allows enqueuing method calls while we are still waiting for inotify
events, without them timeouting until the connection is actually
established, i.e. when the method call actually has a chance of being
actually run.
This is a change of behaviour of course, but I think the new behaviour
is much better than the old one, since we don't race timeouts against
each other anymore...
This adds a "watch-bind" feature to sd-bus connections. If set and the
AF_UNIX socket we are connecting to doesn't exist yet, we'll establish
an inotify watch instead, and wait for the socket to appear. In other
words, a missing AF_UNIX just makes connecting slower.
This is useful for daemons such as networkd or resolved that shall be
able to run during early-boot, before dbus-daemon is up, and want to
connect to dbus-daemon as soon as it becomes ready.
If we can't process the bus for some reason we shouldn't just disable
the event source, but log something and give up on the connection. Hence
do that, and disconnect.
Currently, when sd-bus is used to issue a method call, and we get a
reply and the specified reply handler fails, we log this locally at
debug priority and proceed. The idea is that a bad server-side reply
should not be fatal for the program, except when the developer
explicitly terminates the event loop.
The reply to the initial Hello() method call we issue when joining a bus
should not be handled like that however. Instead, propagate the error
immediately, as anything that is wrong with the Hello() reply should be
considered a fatal connection problem.
This is useful so that callers know whether anything at all and how much
was flushed.
This patches through users of this functions to ensure that the return
values > 0 which may be returned now are not propagated in public APIs.
Also, users that ignore the return value are changed to do so explicitly
now.
Also, drop UID/GID validity checks from getpeercred() as the kernel will
never pass us invalid UID/GID on userns, but the overflow UID/GID
instead. Add a comment about this.
This ensures that in all threads we fork off in the background in our
code we mask out all signals, so that our thread won't end up getting
signals delivered the main process should be getting.
We always set the signal mask before forking off the thread, so that the
thread has the right mask set from its earliest existance on.
Using wait_for_terminate_and_check() instead of wait_for_terminate()
let's us simplify, shorten and unify the return value checking and
logging of waitid(). Hence, let's use it all over the place.
