Let's make sure we signal out-of-band via an error message if a process
doesn't have a parent process whose PID we could return. Otherwise we'll
too likely hide errors, as we return an invalid PID 0, which in other
contexts has special meaning (i.e. usually "myself").

This is based on work by @dtardon, but goes a different route, by
ensuring we propagate a proper error in this case.
This modernizes the function in question a bit in other ways, i.e.
renames stuff and makes the return parameter optional.
We recently started making more use of malloc_usable_size() and rely on
it (see the string_erase() story). Given that we don't really support
sytems where malloc_usable_size() cannot be trusted beyond statistics
anyway, let's go fully in and rework GREEDY_REALLOC() on top of it:
instead of passing around and maintaining the currenly allocated size
everywhere, let's just derive it automatically from
malloc_usable_size().
I am mostly after this for the simplicity this brings. It also brings
minor efficiency improvements I guess, but things become so much nicer
to look at if we can avoid these allocation size variables everywhere.
Note that the malloc_usable_size() man page says relying on it wasn't
"good programming practice", but I think it does this for reasons that
don't apply here: the greedy realloc logic specifically doesn't rely on
the returned extra size, beyond the fact that it is equal or larger than
what was requested.
(This commit was supposed to be a quick patch btw, but apparently we use
the greedy realloc stuff quite a bit across the codebase, so this ends
up touching *a*lot* of code.)
The new flag is not used, except in tests, so no functional change yet.
This way, the command as shown can be copied-and-pasted into the shell
in more cases. For simple cases, shell quoting with "" is enough. But
$'' is needed when there are control characters in the command.
Since the new functionality is controlled by an option, this causes no change
in output yet, except tests.
The login in the old branch of !(flags & PROCESS_CMDLINE_QUOTE) is essentially
unmodified. But there is an important difference in behaviour: instead of
unconditionally reading the whole virtual file, we now read only 'max_columns'
bytes. This makes out code to write process lists quite a bit more efficient
when there are processes with long command lines.
Alternative title: Replace get_process_cmdline()'s fopen()/fread() with
read_full_virtual_file().
When RLIMIT_STACK is set to infinity:infinity, _SC_ARG_MAX will
return 4611686018427387903 (depending on the system, but definitely
something larger than most systems have). It's impractical to allocate this
in one go when most cmdlines are much shorter than that.
Instead use read_full_virtual_file() which seems to increase the buffer
depending on the size of the contents.
This follows up on 0b1f3c768c, adding more places
where we should reopen the log after forking with FORK_CLOSE_ALL_FDS.
When immediately calling exec in the child, prefer to explicitly reopen the log
after exec fails. In other cases, just use FORK_REOPEN_LOG.
Wherever we read virtual files we better should use
read_full_virtual_file(), to make sure we get a consistent response
given how weird the kernel's handling with partial read on such file
systems is.
argv[0] might be prefixed by a path, and we shouldn't get confused by
that. Hence provide a simple helper call that abstracts the checking
away, which we can use everywhere, and expose the same behaviour, even
if argv[0] is not set.
(While we are at it, port all other multi-call binaries over to the new
helper, too)

"less" doesn't properly reset its terminal on SIGTERM, it does so only
on SIGINT. Let's thus configure SIGINT instead of SIGTERM.
I think this is something less should fix too, and clean up things
correctly on SIGTERM, too. However, given that we explicitly enable
SIGINT behaviour by passing "K" to $LESS I figure it makes sense if we
also send SIGINT instead of SIGTERM to match it.
Fixes: #16084
This patch changes the way user managers set the default umask for the units it
manages.
Indeed one can expect that if user manager's umask is redefined through PAM
(via /etc/login.defs or pam_umask), all its children including the units it
spawns have their umask set to the new value.
Hence make user units inherit their umask value from their parent instead of
the hard coded value 0022 but allow them to override this value via their unit
file.
Note that reexecuting managers with 'systemctl daemon-reexec' after changing
UMask= has no effect. To take effect managers need to be restarted with
'systemct restart' instead. This behavior was already present before this
patch.
Fixes#6077.
This ensures we will recieve SIGTSTP if the user presses Ctrl-Z.
We continue blocking SIGCHLD to ensure the child is processed by
wait_for_terminate_and_check.

This adds a new safe_fork() flag. If set the child process' fd 1 becomes
fd 2 of the caller. This is useful for invoking tools (such as various
mkfs/fsck implementations) that output status messages to stdout, but
which we invoke and don't want to pollute stdout with their output.
This restores show_pid_array() output in legacy locales on the console.
Only one call to get_process_cmdline() is changed, all others retain
utf8-only mode. This affects systemd-cgls, systemctl status, etc, when
working locally.
Calls to get_process_cmdline() that cross a process boundary always use
utf8. It's the callers responsibility to convert this to some encoding that
they use. This means that we always pass utf8 over the bus.
It turns out that the kernel allows comm names higher than our expected limit
of 16.
$ wc -c /proc/*/comm|sort -g|tail -n3
35 /proc/1292317/comm
35 /proc/1293610/comm
36 /proc/1287112/comm
$ cat /proc/1287112/comm
kworker/u9:3-kcryptd/253:0
The functions to retrieve and print process cmdlines were based on the
assumption that they contain printable ASCII, and everything else
should be filtered out. That assumption doesn't hold in today's world,
where people are free to use unicode everywhere.
This replaces the custom cmdline reading code with a more generic approach
using utf8_escape_non_printable_full().
For kernel threads, truncation is done on the parenthesized name, so we'll
get "[worker]", "[worker…]", …, "[w…]", "[…", "…" as we reduce the number of
available columns.
This implementation is most likely slower for very long cmdlines, but I don't
think this is very important. The common case is to have short commandlines,
and should print those properly. Absurdly long cmdlines are the exception,
which needs to be handled correctly and safely, but speed is not too important.
Fixes#12532.
v2:
- use size_t for the number of columns. This change propagates into various
other functions that call get_process_cmdline(), increasing the size of the
patch, but the changes are rather trivial.
This is partially a refactoring, but also makes many more places use
unlocked operations implicitly, i.e. all users of fopen_temporary().
AFAICT, the uses are always for short-lived files which are not shared
externally, and are just used within the same context. Locking is not
necessary.
