2016-10-07core: add "invocation ID" concept to service managerLennart Poettering
This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active state. The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1 maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it. Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service already ended. The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel, except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system. The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable. It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the "trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better choice for the journal. Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is. This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128: sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to sd_id128_get_boot(). PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs information about a unit. A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the current runtime cycleof it. Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the messages.
2016-02-10tree-wide: remove Emacs lines from all filesDaniel Mack
This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that stuff in every file.
2015-11-12core: remove support for RequiresOverridable= and RequisiteOverridable=Lennart Poettering
As discussed at systemd.conf 2015 and on also raised on the ML: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-November/034880.html This removes the two XyzOverridable= unit dependencies, that were basically never used, and do not enhance user experience in any way. Most folks looking for the functionality this provides probably opt for the "ignore-dependencies" job mode, and that's probably a good idea. Hence, let's simplify systemd's dependency engine and remove these two dependency types (and their inverses). The unit file parser and the dbus property parser will now redirect the settings/properties to result in an equivalent non-overridable dependency. In the case of the unit file parser we generate a warning, to inform the user. The dbus properties for this unit type stay available on the unit objects, but they are now hidden from usual introspection and will always return the empty list when queried. This should provide enough compatibility for the few unit files that actually ever made use of this.
2015-10-24util-lib: split our string related calls from util.[ch] into its own file ↵Lennart Poettering
string-util.[ch] There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve its own files, hence do something about it. This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now. Also touches a few unrelated include files.

2015-08-28core: add unit_dbus_interface_from_type() to unit-name.hLennart Poettering
Let's add a way to get the type-specific D-Bus interface of a unit from either its type or name to src/basic/unit-name.[ch]. That way we can share it with the client side, where it is useful in tools like cgls or machinectl. Also ports over machinectl to make use of this.
2015-07-21core: remove generic job completion messages from unit vtablesMichal Schmidt
These units' message format strings are identical to the generic strings. Since we can always rely on the fallback, these are now redundant.
2015-04-24Revert "core: do not spawn jobs or touch other units during coldplugging"Lennart Poettering
This reverts commit 6e392c9c45643d106673c6643ac8bf4e65da13c1. We really shouldn't invent external state keeping hashmaps, if we can keep this state in the units themselves.
2015-03-07core: do not spawn jobs or touch other units during coldpluggingIvan Shapovalov
Because the order of coldplugging is not defined, we can reference a not-yet-coldplugged unit and read its state while it has not yet been set to a meaningful value. This way, already active units may get started again. We fix this by deferring such actions until all units have been at least somehow coldplugged. Fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88401
2015-02-23remove unused includesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is in use.
2015-01-28core: output unit status output strings to console, only if we actually are ↵Lennart Poettering
changing unit state Unit _start() and _stop() implementations can fail with -EAGAIN to delay execution temporarily. Thus, we should not output status messages before invoking these calls, but after, and only when we know that the invocation actually made a change.
2013-11-20core: convert PID 1 to libsystemd-busLennart Poettering
This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling, and this dependency can be turned off. This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are necessary to make the port work: - Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are severed. - Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the same path. This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus calls which used an inappropriate signature. As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
2013-05-02Add __attribute__((const, pure, format)) in various placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I'm assuming that it's fine if a _const_ or _pure_ function calls assert. It is assumed that the assert won't trigger, and even if it does, it can only trigger on the first call with a given set of parameters, and we don't care if the compiler moves the order of calls.
2012-09-18target: imply default ordering for PartsOf deps as wellLennart Poettering
2012-07-13unit: rename BindTo= to BindsTo=Lennart Poettering
all other dependencies are in 3rd person. Change BindTo= accordingly to BindsTo=. Of course, the dependency is widely used, hence we parse the old name too for compatibility.
2012-07-10unit: get rid of UnitVTable.suffix, which is now unusedLennart Poettering
2012-05-14unit: unit type dependent status messagesMichal Schmidt
Instead of generic "Starting..." and "Started" messages for all unit use type-dependent messages. For example, mounts will announce "Mounting..." and "Mounted". Add status messages to units of types that used to be entirely silent (automounts, sockets, targets, devices). For unit types whose jobs are instantaneous, report only the job completion, not the starting event. Socket units with non-instantaneous jobs are rare (Exec*= is not used often in socket units), so I chose not to print the starting messages for them either. This will hopefully give people better understanding of the boot.
2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
