Commit a2a5291b3f changed the parser to reject unfinished quoted
strings. Unfortunately it introduced an error where a trailing
backslash would case an infinite loop. Of course this must fixed, but
the question is what to to instead. Allowing trailing backslashes and
treating them as normal characters would be one option, but this seems
suboptimal. First, there would be inconsistency between handling of
quoting and of backslashes. Second, a trailing backslash is most
likely an error, at it seems better to point it out to the user than
to try to continue.
Updated rules:
ExecStart=/bin/echo \\ → OK, prints a backslash
ExecStart=/bin/echo \ → error
ExecStart=/bin/echo "x → error
ExecStart=/bin/echo "x"y → error
dup3() allows setting O_CLOEXEC which we are not interested in. However,
it also fails if called with the same fd as input and output, which is
something we don't want. Hence use dup2().
Also, we need to explicitly turn off O_CLOEXEC for the fds, in case the
input fd was O_CLOEXEC and < 3.
This works now:
# systemd-nspawn -xb -D / -M foobar
Which boots up an ephemeral container, based on the host's root file
system. Or in other words: you can now run the very same host OS you
booted your system with also in a container, on top of it, without
having it interfere. Great for testing whether the init system you are
hacking on still boots without reboot the system!
Also, rename filename_is_safe() to filename_is_valid(), since it
actually does a full validation for what the kernel will accept as file
name, it's not just a heuristic.
loop_write() didn't follow the usual systemd rules and returned status
partially in errno and required extensive checks from callers. Some of
the callers dealt with this properly, but many did not, treating
partial writes as successful. Simplify things by conforming to usual rules.
If /etc was read only at boot time with an empty /etc/machine-id, the latter
will be mounted as a tmpfs and get reset at each boot. If the system becomes rw
later, this functionality enables to commit in a race-free manner the
transient machine-id to disk.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | while read f; do perl -i.mmm -e \
'local $/;
local $_=<>;
s/(if\s*\([^\n]+\))\s*{\n(\s*)(log_[a-z_]*_errno\(\s*([->a-zA-Z_]+)\s*,[^;]+);\s*return\s+\g4;\s+}/\1\n\2return \3;/msg;
print;'
$f
done
And a couple of manual whitespace fixups.
As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().
Function queries system hostname and applies changes only when necessary. Also,
migrate all client of sethostname to sethostname_idempotent while at it.
We could end with a double close if we close the fd loop and flush_fd
fails. That would make us goto fail and there we close the fd once
again. This patch sets the fd to the return value for safe_close: -1
A fd with negative value will be ignored by the next call to
safe_close.

It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
If we invoke agents, we should make sure we actually can kill them
again. I mean, it's probably not our job to cleanup the signals if our
tools are invoked in weird contexts, but at least we should make sure,
that the subprocesses we invoke and intend to control work as intended.

When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the
failure actions already implemented for services that fail.
This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops
which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This
devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the
easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system
turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while.
When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the
machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't
even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example
because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters.
Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those
easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
