Let's define two helpers strdupa_safe() + strndupa_safe() which do the
same as their non-safe counterparts, except that they abort if called
with allocations larger than ALLOCA_MAX.
This should ensure that all our alloca() based allocations are subject
to this limit.
afaics glibc offers three alloca() based APIs: alloca() itself,
strndupa() + strdupa(). With this we have now replacements for all of
them, that take the limit into account.
With some versions of the compiler, the _cleanup_ attr makes it think
the variable might be freed/closed when uninitialized, even though it
cannot happen. The added cost is small enough to be worth the benefit,
and optimized builds will help reduce it even further.
I started working on this because I wanted to change how
DEFINE_TRIVIAL_CLEANUP_FUNC is defined. Even independently of that change, it's
nice to make make things more consistent and predictable.
Patch contains a coccinelle script, but it only works in some cases. Many
parts were converted by hand.
Note: I did not fix errors in return value handing. This will be done separate
to keep the patch comprehensible. No functional change is intended in this
patch.
Whenever I see EXTRACT_QUOTES, I'm always confused whether it means to
leave the quotes in or to take them out. Let's say "unquote", like we
say "cunescape".
There should be no functional difference, except that the error message
is changd from "three or no arguments" to "zero or three arguments". Somehow
the inverted form always seemed strange.
umask() call is also dropped from run-generator. I think it wasn't dropped in
053254e3cb because the run generator was merged
around the same time.
systemd already sets the umask (see e3b8d0637d). When
running under systemd, we don't need to set it. And when *not* running under
systemd, for example during development, there is no reason to override the user
config. Let's just drop those calls.
$ git grep -e 'umask\(' -l 'src/*generator*' |xargs perl -i -0pe 's|^[^\n]*umask\([^\n]+\n\n||gms'
This way, we can extend the macro a bit with stuff pulled in from other
headers without this affecting everything which pulls in macro.h, which
is one of our most basic headers.
This is just refactoring, no change in behaviour, in prepartion for
later changes.
All users of the macro (except for one, in serialize.c), use the macro in
connection with read_line(), so they must include fileio.h. Let's not play
libc games and require multiple header file to be included for the most common
use of a function.
The removal of def.h includes is not exact. I mostly went over the commits that
switch over to use read_line() and add def.h at the same time and reverted the
addition of def.h in those files.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
The warning is not emitted for absolute paths like /dev/sda or /home, which are
converted to .device and .mount unit names without any fuss.
Most of the time it's unlikely that users use invalid unit names on purpose,
so let's warn them. Warnings are silenced when --quiet is used.
$ build/systemctl show -p Id hello@foo-bar/baz
Invalid unit name "hello@foo-bar/baz" was escaped as "hello@foo-bar-baz" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?)
Id=hello@foo-bar-baz.service
$ build/systemd-run --user --slice foo-bar/baz --unit foo-bar/foo true
Invalid unit name "foo-bar/foo" was escaped as "foo-bar-foo" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?)
Invalid unit name "foo-bar/baz" was escaped as "foo-bar-baz" (maybe you should use systemd-escape?)
Running as unit: foo-bar-foo.service
Fixes#8302.
This removes LOG_TARGET_SAFE. It's made redundant by the new
"prohibit-ipc" logging flag, as it used to have a similar effect: avoid
logging to the journal/syslog, i.e. any local services in order to avoid
deadlocks when we lock from PID 1 or its utility processes (such as
generators).
All previous users of LOG_TARGET_SAFE are switched over to the new
setting. This makes things a bit safer for all, as not even the
SYSTEMD_LOG_TARGET env var can be used to accidentally log to the
journal anymore in these programs.
Let's always escape strings we receive from the user before writing them
out to unit file settings that suppor specifier expansion, so that user
strings are transported as-is.
generator_add_symlink() is extended to ignore EEXIST. This should be fine
for all existing callers.
There's a small difference in behaviour when adding symlinks in sysv-generator:
the message is more generic and does not include ", ignored". But creation of
symlinks shouldn't ever fail except if things are very wrong, so in practice
this shouldn't matter.
Test needed updating: os.path.exists(os.readlink(link)) only works if the link
is absolute (or if we are in the right directory). Let's just use
os.path.exists(link), which properly tests that the symlink target exists.
network.target should be pulled in to the transaction
by the unit that provides network services, but currently
for initscripts it only pulls in network-online.target.
We used the wrong return value in one case, so that our translations were
thrown away.
While we are at it, make sure to always initialize *ret on successful function
exits.
Fixes: #4762
Let's get rid of is_clean_exit_lsb(), let's move the logic for the special
handling of the two LSB exit codes into the sysv-generator by writing out
appropriate SuccessExitStatus= lines if the LSB header exists. This is not only
semantically more correct, bug also fixes a bug as the code in service.c that
chose between is_clean_exit_lsb() and is_clean_exit() based this check on
whether a native unit files was available for the unit. However, that check was
bogus since a long time, since the SysV generator was introduced and native
SysV script support was removed from PID 1, as in that case a unit file always
existed.
Currently in the journal you get messages without context like:
systemd-sysv-generator[$pid]: Failed to build name: Invalid argument
When parsing the init script, show the file and line number where the
error was found. At the same time, add more context information if
available.
Thus turning the message into something like:
systemd-sysv-generator[$pid]: [/etc/init.d/root-system-proofd:13] Could not build name for facility $network,: Invalid argument
The changes in 788d2b088b weren't complete, only
half the code that dealt with K links was removed. This is a follow-up patch
that removes the rest too.
No functional changes.
This is redundant as SysV services get DefaultDependencides=yes anyway, and
thus conflict with shutdown.target anyway. Hence, let's simplify our code here.
If the error code ever leaks (we print the strerror error instead of providing
our own), the message for ESHUTDOWN is "Cannot send after transport endpoint
shutdown", which can be misleading. In particular it suggest that some
mishandling of the dbus connection occured. Let's change that to ERFKILL which
has the advantage that a) it sounds implausible as actual error, b) has the
connotation of disabling something manually.
