Currently we employ mostly system call blacklisting for our system
services. Let's add a new system call filter group @system-service that
helps turning this around into a whitelist by default.
The new group is very similar to nspawn's default filter list, but in
some ways more restricted (as sethostname() and suchlike shouldn't be
available to most system services just like that) and in others more
relaxed (for example @keyring is blocked in nspawn since it's not
properly virtualized yet in the kernel, but is fine for regular system
services).
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.
$ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
To make debugging easier, this patches allows one to change the log target and
do reload/reexec without modifying configuration permanently, which makes
debugging easier.
Indeed if one changed the log target at runtime (via the bus or via signals),
the change was lost on the next reload/reexecution.
In order to restore back the default value (set via system.conf, environment
variables or any other means ), the empty string in the "LogTarget" property is
now supported as well as sending SIGTRMIN+26 signal.
To make debugging easier, this patches allows one to change the log level and
do reload/reexec without modifying configuration permanently, which makes
debugging easier.
Indeed if one changed the log max level at runtime (via the bus or via
signals), the change was lost on the next daemon reload/reexecution.
In order to restore the original value back (set via system.conf, environment
variables or any other means), the empty string in the "LogLevel" property is
now supported as well as sending SIGRTMIN+23 signal.
Since bb28e68477 parsing failures of
certain unit file settings will result in load failures of units. This
introduces a new load state "bad-setting" that is entered in precisely
this case.
With this addition error messages on bad settings should be a lot more
explicit, as we don't have to show some generic "errno" error in that
case, but can explicitly say that a bad setting is at fault.
Internally this unit load state is entered as soon as any configuration
loader call returns ENOEXEC. Hence: config parser calls should return
ENOEXEC now for such essential unit file settings. Turns out, they
generally already do.
Fixes: #9107
These states should never be visible to the outside, as they are used
only internally while loading unit. Hence let's drop them from the
documentation.
This adds a function sd_bus_slot_set_destroy_callback() to set a function
which can free userdata or perform other cleanups.
sd_bus_slot_get_destory_callback() queries the callback, and is included
for completeness.
Without something like this, for floating asynchronous callbacks, which might
be called or not, depending on the sequence of events, it's hard to perform
resource cleanup. The alternative would be to always perform the cleanup from
the caller too, but that requires more coordination and keeping of some shared
state. It's nicer to keep the cleanup contained between the callback and the
function that requests the callback.
The only difference is that functions are not individually listed by name,
but that seems completely pointless, since all functions that are documented
are always exported, so the generic text tells the user all she or he needs
to know.
Fedora 28 is out already, let's advertise it. While at it, drop "container"
from "f28container" — it's a subdirectory under /var/lib/machines, it's pretty
obvious that's it a container.
To make the switch easier in the future, define the number as an entity.
This "netdevsim" as implied by the name is a tool for network developers and is a simulator.
This simulated networking device is used for testing various networking APIs and at this time
is particularly focused on testing hardware offloading related interfaces.
'systemctl disable --runtime' would disable a unit, but only if it was enabled
with '--runtime', and silently do nothing if the unit was enabled persistently.
And similarly 'systemctl disable' would do nothing if the unit was enabled in
/run. This just doesn't seem useful.
This pathch changes enable/disable and mask/unmask to be asymmetrical. enable
and mask create symlinks in /etc or /run, depending on whether --runtime was
specified. disable and unmask remove symlinks from both locations. --runtime
cannot be specified for the disable and unmask verbs.
The advantage is that 'disable' now means that the unit is disabled, period.
And similarly for 'unmask', all masks are removed.
Similarly for preset and preset-all, they now cannot be called with --runtime,
and are asymmetrical: when they enable a unit, symlinks are created in /etc.
When they disable a unit, all symlinks are nuked.

This rewords the section, explicitly distuingishing the cases of clients
that only want a continious log stream (which can simply treat
SD_JOURNAL_INVALIDATE the same way as SD_JOURNAL_APPEND) and those which
want to represent on screen the full state of the log data on disk.
This is an alternative to a part of PR #9060, but keeps an explanation
of the destinction of handling depending on the type of client.
