Let's just say that the journal takes up space in the file system, not on disk,
as tmpfs is definitely a file system, but not a disk.
Fixes: #4059
|
|
Let's make it easier to figure out when we see an invalid journal file, why we
consider it invalid, and add some minimal debug logging for it.
This log output is normally not seen (after all, this all is library code),
unless debug logging is exlicitly turned on.

When date is changed in system to future and normal user logs to new journal file, and then date is changed back to present time, the "journalctl --list-boot" command goes to forever loop. This commit tries to fix this problem by checking first the boot id list if the found boot id was already in that list. If it is found, then stopping the boot id find loop.

The key used to be jammed next to the local file path. Based on the format string on line 1675, I determined that the order of arguments was written incorrectly, and updated the function based on that assumption.
Before:
```
Please write down the following secret verification key. It should be stored
at a safe location and should not be saved locally on disk.

The sealing key is automatically changed every 15min.

According to its manual page, flags given to mkostemp(3) shouldn't include
O_RDWR, O_CREAT or O_EXCL flags as these are always included. Beyond
those, the only flag that all callers (except a few tests where it
probably doesn't matter) use is O_CLOEXEC, so set that unconditionally.

It is useful to look at a (possibly inactive) container or other os tree
with --root=/path/to/container. This is similar to specifying
--directory=/path/to/container/var/log/journal --directory=/path/to/container/run/systemd/journal
(if using --directory multiple times was allowed), but doesn't require
as much typing.

It's a bit easier to read because shorter. Also, most likely a tiny bit faster.

--boot=0 magically meant "this boot", but when used with --file/--directory it
should simply refer to the last boot found in the specified journal. This way,
--boot and --list-boots are consistent.
Fixes #3603.
|
|
Those are just local variables and ref_boot_offset is especially
obnoxious.
|
|
Before --this-boot was deprecated in a331b5e6d47243, it did not take
any arguments.
|
|
It works mostly fine, and can be quite useful to examine data from another
system.
OTOH, a single boot id doesn't make sense with --merge, so mixing with --merge
is still not allowed.

rework "journalctl -M"
|
|
Let's be nice to users, and let's turn the nonsensical "--unit=… --user" into
"--user-unit=…" which the user more likely meant.
Fixes #1621
|
|
This way, the switch becomes compatible with nspawn containers using --image=,
and those which only store journal data in /run (i.e. have persistant logs
off).

When appending to a journal file, journald will:
a) first, append the actual entry to the end of the journal file
b) second, add an offset reference to it to the global entry array stored at
the beginning of the file
c) third, add offset references to it to the per-field entry array stored at
various places of the file
The global entry array, maintained by b) is used when iterating through the
journal without matches applied.
The per-field entry array maintained by c) is used when iterating through the
journal with a match for that specific field applied.
In the wild, there are journal files where a) and b) were completed, but c)
was not before the files were abandoned. This means, that in some cases log
entries are at the end of these files that appear in the global entry array,
but not in the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. Now, the
"journalctl --list-boots" command alternatingly uses the global entry array
and the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. It seeks to the last
entry of a specific _BOOT_ID=field by having the right match installed, and
then jumps to the next following entry with no match installed anymore, under
the assumption this would bring it to the next boot ID. However, if the
per-field entry wasn't written fully, it might actually turn out that the
global entry array might know one more entry with the same _BOOT_ID, thus
resulting in a indefinite loop around the same _BOOT_ID.
This patch fixes that, by updating the boot search logic to always continue
reading entries until the boot ID actually changed from the previous. Thus, the
per-field entry array is used as quick jump index (i.e. as an optimization),
but not trusted otherwise. Only the global entry array is trusted.
This replaces PR #1904, which is actually very similar to this one. However,
this one actually reads the boot ID directly from the entry header, and doesn't
try to read it at all until the read pointer is actually really located on the
first item to read.
Fixes: #617
Replaces: #1904

Drop the "read_realtime" parameter. Getting the realtime timestamp from an
entry is cheap, as it is a normal header field, hence let's just get this
unconditionally, and simplify our code a bit.
|
|
Let's store the reference as simple sd_id128_t, since we don't actually need a
BootId for it.
|
|
|
|
Also, expose this via the "journalctl --file=-" syntax for STDIN. This feature
remains undocumented though, as it is probably not too useful in real-life as
this still requires fds that support mmaping and seeking, i.e. does not work
for pipes, for which reading from STDIN is most commonly used.
|
|
Let's output the actual error code encountered, and let's not claim this was
purely triggered by files, because it can also be triggered by directories.
|
|
This suppresses output of the hostname for messages from the local system.

tree-wide: merge pager_open_if_enabled() to the pager_open()
|
|
Many subsystems define own pager_open_if_enabled() function which
checks '--no-pager' command line argument and open pager depends
on its value. All implementations of pager_open_if_enabled() are
the same. Let's merger this function with pager_open() from the
shared/pager.c and remove pager_open_if_enabled() from all subsytems
to prevent code duplication.
|
|
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
|
|
This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that
stuff in every file.

journalctl: add match for the current boot when called with devpath (v2)
|

journalctl --fields logic

|
journalctl: make "journalctl /dev/sda" work
|
|
Currently when journalctl is called with path to block device node we
add following match _KERNEL_DEVICE=b$MAJOR:$MINOR.
That is not sufficient to actually obtain logs about the disk because
dev_printk() kernel helper puts to /dev/kmsg information about the
device in following format, +$SUBSYSTEM:$ADDRESS,
e.g. "+pci:pci:0000:00:14.0".
Now we will walk upward the syspath and add match for every device in
format produced by dev_printk() as well as match for its device node if
it exists.

Make it clear that specifing boot when there is actually only one has no
effect. This cosmetic patch improves user experience a bit.

... to determine if color output should be enabled. If the variable is not set,
fall back to using on_tty(). Also, rewrite existing code to use
colors_enabled() where appropriate.

GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.

Previously, we'd rely on the mtime timestamps of the touch files to see
if our sync/rotation requests were already suppressed. This means we
rely on CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps. With this patch we instead store the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp *in* the touch files, and avoid relying on
mtime.
This should make things more reliable when the clock or underlying mtime
granularity is not very good.
This also adds warning messages if writing any of the flag files fails.
|
|
No functional changes.
|
|
|
|
Of course, ideally we'd just use normal synchronous bus calls, but this
is out of the question as long as we rely on dbus-daemon (which logs to
journald, and thus cannot use to avoid cyclic sync loops). Hence,
instead, reuse the wait logic already implemented for --sync, and use a
signal in one direction, and a mtime watch file for the reply.
|
|
With this new "--sync" switch we add a synchronous way to sync
everything queued to disk, and return only after that's complete. This
command gives the guarantee that anything queued before has hit the disk
before the command returns.
While we are at it, also improve the man pages and help text for
journalctl a bit.
|
|
Our functions return negative error codes.
Do not rely on errno being set after calling our own functions.
|
|
When we enumerate journal files and encounter an invalid one, remember
which this, and show it to the user.
Note the possibly slightly surprising logic here: we store only one path
per error code. This means we show all error kinds but not every actual
error we encounter. This has the benefit of not requiring us to keep a
potentially unbounded list of errors with their sources around, but can
still provide a pretty complete overview on the errors we encountered.
Fixes #1669.
