2015-10-24journal: fix error handling when compressing journal objectsLennart Poettering
Let's make sure we handle compression errors properly, and don't misunderstand an error for success. Also, let's actually compress things if lz4 is enabled. Fixes #1662.
2015-10-02journal: rework vacuuming logicLennart Poettering
Implement a maximum limit on number of journal files to keep around. Enforcing a limit is useful on this since our performance when viewing pays a heavy penalty for each journal file to interleve. This setting is turned on now by default, and set to 100. Also, actully implement what 348ced909724a1331b85d57aede80a102a00e428 promised: use whatever we find on disk at startup as lower bound on how much disk space we can use. That commit introduced some provisions to implement this, but actually never did. This also adds "journalctl --vacuum-files=" to vacuum files on disk by their number explicitly.
2015-10-02journal: make journal_file_close() return NULLLennart Poettering
The way it is customary everywhere else in our sources.
2015-07-24journal: avoid mapping empty data and field hash tablesLennart Poettering
When a new journal file is created we write the header first, then sync and only then create the data and field hash tables in them. That means to other processes it might appear that the files have a valid header but not data and field hash tables. Our reader code should be able to deal with this. With this change we'll not map the two hash tables right-away after opening a file for reading anymore (because that will of course fail if the objects are missing), but delay this until the first time we access them. On top of that, when we want to look something up in the hash tables and we notice they aren't initialized yet, we consider them empty. This improves handling of some journal files reported in #487.
2015-02-25journal: make skipping of exhausted journal files effective againMichal Schmidt
Commit 668c965af "journal: skipping of exhausted journal files is bad if direction changed" fixed a correctness issue, but it also significantly limited the cases where the optimization that skips exhausted journal files could apply. As a result, some journalctl queries are much slower in v219 than in v218. (e.g. queries where a "--since" cutoff should have quickly eliminated older journal files from consideration, but didn't.) If already in the initial iteration find_location_with_matches() finds no entry, the journal file's location is not updated. This is fine, except that: - We must update at least f->last_direction. The optimization relies on it. Let's separate that from journal_file_save_location() and update it immediately after the direction checks. - The optimization was conditional on "f->current_offset > 0", but it would always be 0 in this scenario. This check is unnecessary for the optimization.
2015-01-18Move DEFINE_TRIVIAL_CLEANUP_FUNC to macro.hZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This remove the need for various header files to include the (relatively heavyweight) util.h.
2015-01-06journald: whenever we rotate a file, btrfs defrag itLennart Poettering
Our write pattern is quite awful for CoW file systems (btrfs...), as we keep updating file parts in the beginning of the file. This results in fragmented journal files. Hence: when rotating files, defragment them, since at that point we know that no further write accesses will be made.
2015-01-05journald: when we detect the journal file we are about to write to has been ↵Lennart Poettering
deleted, rotate https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171719
2015-01-05journald: process SIGBUS for the memory maps we set upLennart Poettering
Even though we use fallocate() it appears that file systems like btrfs will trigger SIGBUS on certain low-disk-space situation. We should handle that, hence catch the signal, add it to a list of invalidated pages, and replace the page with an empty memory area. After each write check if SIGBUS was triggered, and consider the write invalid if it was. This should make journald a lot more robust with file systems where fallocate() is not reliable, for example all CoW file systems (btrfs...), where changing written data can fail with disk full errors. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045810
2014-12-18journal: journal_file_next_entry() does not need pointer to current ObjectMichal Schmidt
The current offset is sufficient information.
2014-12-18journal: optimize iteration by skipping exhausted filesMichal Schmidt
If from a previous iteration we know we are at the end of a journal file, don't bother looking into the file again. This is complicated by the fact that the EOF does not have to be permanent (think of "journalctl -f"). So we also check if the number of entries in the journal file changed. This optimization has a similar effect as "journal: optimize iteration: skip whole files behind current location" had.
2014-12-18journal: compare candidate entries using JournalFiles' locationsMichal Schmidt
When comparing the locations of candidate entries, we can rely on the location information stored in struct JournalFile.
2014-12-18journal: keep per-JournalFile location info during iterationMichal Schmidt
In next_beyond_location() when we find a candidate entry in a journal file, save its location information in struct JournalFile. The purpose of remembering the locations of candidate entries is to be able to save work in the next iteration. This patch does only the remembering part. LOCATION_SEEK means the location identifies a candidate entry. When a winner is picked from among candidates, it becomes LOCATION_DISCRETE. LOCATION_TAIL here signifies we've iterated the file to the end (or the beginning in the case of reversed direction).
2014-12-18journal: abstract the resetting of JournalFile's locationMichal Schmidt
2014-12-18journal: move definition of LocationType to journal-file.hMichal Schmidt
In preparation for individual JournalFiles maintaining a location of their own.
2014-12-18journal: delete unused function journal_file_skip_entry()Michal Schmidt
Its only caller is a test.
2014-12-18journal: delete unused function journal_file_move_to_entry_by_offset()Michal Schmidt
2014-12-13journal: have a named enum ObjectTypeMichal Schmidt
2014-12-13journal: move type_to_context() to journal-file.cMichal Schmidt
It has no other callers. It does not need to be in the header file.
2014-12-13journal: remove journal_file_object_keep/release functionsMichal Schmidt
The only user is sd_journal_enumerate_unique() and, as explained in the previous commit (fed67c38e3 "journal: map objects to context set by caller, not by actual object type"), the use of them there is now superfluous. Let's remove them. This reverts major parts of commits: ae97089d49 journal: fix access to munmapped memory in sd_journal_enumerate_unique 06cc69d44c sd-journal: fix sd_journal_enumerate_unique skipping values Tested with an "--enable-debug" build and "journalctl --list-boots". It gives the expected number of results. Additionally, if I then revert the previous commit ("journal: map objects to context set by caller, not to actual object type"), it crashes with SIGSEGV, as expected.
2014-10-23journal: make JournalFile::chain_cache an OrderedHashmapMichal Schmidt
The order of entries may matter here. Oldest entries are evicted first when the cache is full. (Though I don't see anything to rejuvenate entries on cache hits.)
2014-10-09sd-journal: fix sd_journal_enumerate_unique skipping valuesJan Janssen
sd_journal_enumerate_unique will lock its mmap window to prevent it from being released by calling mmap_cache_get with keep_always=true. This call may return windows that are wider, but compatible with the parameters provided to it. This can result in a mismatch where the window to be released cannot properly be selected, because we have more than one window matching the parameters of mmap_cache_release. Therefore, introduce a release_cookie to be used when releasing the window. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79380
2014-09-25journal: build fix when LZ4 is enabled but XZ is notGustavo Sverzut Barbieri
2014-08-27sd-journal: properly convert object->size on big endianZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek

2014-08-03Fix misuse of uint64_t as size_tZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
They have different size on 32 bit, so they are really not interchangable.
2014-07-31Always prefer our headers to system headersZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
In practice this shouldn't make much difference, but sometimes our headers might be newer, and we want to test them.
2014-07-06journal: add LZ4 as optional compressorZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Add liblz4 as an optional dependency when requested with --enable-lz4, and use it in preference to liblzma for journal blob and coredump compression. To retain backwards compatibility, XZ is used to decompress old blobs. Things will function correctly only with lz4-119. Based on the benchmarks found on the web, lz4 seems to be the best choice for "quick" compressors atm. For pkg-config status, see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/issues/detail?id=135.
2014-01-11journald: do not free space when disk space runs lowZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Before, journald would remove journal files until both MaxUse= and KeepFree= settings would be satisfied. The first one depends (if set automatically) on the size of the file system and is constant. But the second one depends on current use of the file system, and a spike in disk usage would cause journald to delete journal files, trying to reach usage which would leave 15% of the disk free. This behaviour is surprising for the user who doesn't expect his logs to be purged when disk usage goes above 85%, which on a large disk could be some gigabytes from being full. In addition attempting to keep 15% free provides an attack vector where filling the disk sufficiently disposes of almost all logs. Instead, obey KeepFree= only as a limit on adding additional files. When replacing old files with new, ignore KeepFree=. This means that if journal disk usage reached some high point that at some later point start to violate the KeepFree= constraint, journald will not add files to go above this point, but it will stay (slightly) below it. When journald is restarted, it forgets the previous maximum usage value, and sets the limit based on the current usage, so if disk remains to be filled, journald might use one journal-file-size less on each restart, if restarts happen just after rotation. This seems like a reasonable compromise between implementation complexity and robustness.
2014-01-11journal: fix access to munmapped memory in sd_journal_enumerate_uniqueZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
sd_j_e_u needs to keep a reference to an object while comparing it with possibly duplicate objects in other files. Because the size of mmap cache is limited, with enough files and object to compare to, at some point the object being compared would be munmapped, resulting in a segmentation fault. Fix this issue by turning keep_always into a reference count that can be increased and decreased. Other callers which set keep_always=true are unmodified: their references are never released but are ignored when the whole file is closed, which happens at some point. keep_always is increased in sd_j_e_u and later on released.

2013-11-08Remove dead code and unexport some callsLennart Poettering
"make check-api-unused" informs us about code that is not used anymore or that is exported but only used internally. Fix these all over the place.
2013-06-10journal: remember last direction of search and keep offset cacheZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The fields in JournalFile are moved around to avoid wasting 7 bytes because of alignment.
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.
2013-03-25journal: Add sync timer to journal serverOleksii Shevchuk
Add option to force journal sync with fsync. Default timeout is 5min. Interval configured via SyncIntervalSec option at journal.conf. Synced journal files will be marked as OFFLINE. Manual sync can be performed via sending SIGUSR1.
2012-10-26journal: introduce entry array chain cacheLennart Poettering
When traversing entry array chains for a bisection or for retrieving an item by index we previously always started at the beginning of the chain. Since we tend to look at the same chains repeatedly, let's cache where we have been the last time, and maybe we can skip ahead with this the next time. This turns most bisections and index lookups from O(log(n)*log(n)) into O(log(n)). More importantly however, we seek around on disk much less, which is good to reduce buffer cache and seek times on rotational disks.
2012-10-18journal: add ability to list values a specified field can take in all ↵Lennart Poettering
entries of the journal The new 'unique' API allows listing all unique field values that a field specified by a field name can take in all entries of the journal. This allows answering queries such as "What units logged to the journal?", "What hosts have logged into the journal?", "Which boot IDs have logged into the journal?". Ultimately this allows implementation of tools similar to lastlog based on journal data. Note that listing these field values will not work for journal files created with older journald, as the field values are not indexed in older files.
2012-10-16journal: implement time-based rotation/vacuumingLennart Poettering
This also enables time-based rotation (but not vacuuming) after 1month, so that not more one month of journal is lost at a time per vacuuming.

2012-08-18journal: even more simple static object testsLennart Poettering
2012-08-18journald: add additional simple static tests to verifierLennart Poettering
2012-08-17journal: rework terminologyLennart Poettering
Let's clean up our terminology a bit. New terminology: FSS = Forward Secure Sealing FSPRG = Forward Secure Pseudo-Random Generator FSS is the combination of FSPRG and a HMAC. Sealing = process of adding authentication tags to the journal. Verification = process of checking authentication tags to the journal. Sealing Key = The key used for adding authentication tags to the journal. Verification Key = The key used for checking authentication tags of the journal. Key pair = The pair of Sealing Key and Verification Key Internally, the Sealing Key is the combination of the FSPRG State plus change interval/start time. Internally, the Verification Key is the combination of the FSPRG Seed plus change interval/start time.
