2016-10-12journald: automatically rotate journal files when the clock jumps backwardsLennart Poettering
As soon as we notice that the clock jumps backwards, rotate journal files. This is beneficial, as this makes sure that the entries in journal files remain strictly ordered internally, and thus the bisection algorithm applied on it is not confused. This should help avoiding borked wallclock-based bisection on journal files as witnessed in #4278.
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.
2016-10-07journal: complete slice info in journal metadataLennart Poettering
We are already attaching the system slice information to log messages, now add theuser slice info too, as well as the object slice info.
2016-07-26journald: deprecate SplitMode=login (#3805)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
In this mode, messages from processes which are not part of the session land in the main journal file, and only output of processes which are properly part of the session land in the user's journal. This is confusing, in particular because systemd-coredump runs outside of the login session. "Deprecate" SplitMode=login by removing it from documentation, to discourage people from using it.
2016-02-19journal: defer journal closes on rotateVito Caputo
When we rotate journals, we must set offline and close the current one, but don't generally need to wait for this to complete. Instead, we'll initiate an asynchronous offline via journal_file_set_offline(oldfile, false), and add the file to a per-server set of deferred closes to be closed later when they won't block. There's one complication however; journal_file_open() via journal_file_verify_header() assumes that any writable journal in the online state is the product of an unclean shutdown or other form of corruption. Thus there's a need for journal_file_open() to be aware of deferred closes and synchronize with their completion when opening preexisting journals for writing. To facilitate this the deferred closes set is supplied to the journal_file_open() function where the deferred closes may be closed synchronously before verifying the header in such circumstances.
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.
2016-01-23journald: use structured message + catalog entry for disk usageZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The format of the journald disk usage log entry was changed back and forth a few times. It is annoying to have a very verbose message, but if it is short it is hard to understand. But we have a tool for this, the catalogue. $ journalctl -x -u systemd-journald Jan 23 18:48:50 rawhide systemd-journald[891]: Runtime journal (/run/log/journal/) is 8.0M, max 196.2M, 188.2M free. -- Subject: Disk space used by the journal -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- -- Runtime journal (/run/log/journal/) is currently using 8.0M. -- Maximum allowed usage is set to 196.2M. -- Leaving at least 294.3M free (of currently available 1.9G of disk space). -- Enforced usage limit is thus 196.2M, of which 188.2M are still available. -- -- The limits controlling how much disk space is used by the journal may -- be configured with SystemMaxUse=, SystemKeepFree=, SystemMaxFileSize=, -- RuntimeMaxUse=, RuntimeKeepFree=, RuntimeMaxFileSize= settings in -- /etc/systemd/journald.conf.

2016-01-23journald: allow additional payload in server_driver_messageZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The code to format the iovec is shared with log.c. All call sites to server_driver_message are changed to include the additional "MESSAGE=" part, but the new functionality is not used and change in functionality is not expected. iovec is preallocated, so the maximum number of messages is limited. In server_driver_message N_IOVEC_PAYLOAD_FIELDS is currently set to 1. New code is not oom safe, it will fail if memory cannot be allocated. This will be fixed in subsequent commit.
2015-11-27journal: move the gist of server_fix_perms to acl-util.[hc]Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Most of the function is moved to acl-util.c to make it possible to add tests in subsequent commit. Setting of the mode in server_fix_perms is removed: - we either just created the file ourselves, and the permission be better right, - or the file was already there, and we should not modify the permissions. server_fix_perms is renamed to server_fix_acls to better reflect new meaning, and made static because it is only used in one file.
2015-11-11journalctl: add new --sync switch for syncing the journal to diskLennart Poettering
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.
2015-11-03journal: restore watchdog supportLennart Poettering
2015-11-01journald: never block when sending messages on NOTIFY_SOCKET socketLennart Poettering
Otherwise we might run into deadlocks, when journald blocks on the notify socket on PID 1, and PID 1 blocks on IPC to dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon blocks on logging to journald. Break this cycle by making sure that journald never ever blocks on PID 1. Note that this change disables support for event loop watchdog support, as these messages are sent in blocking style by sd-event. That should not be a big loss though, as people reported frequent problems with the watchdog hitting journald on excessively slow IO. Fixes: #1505.
2015-10-27src/basic: rename audit.[ch] → audit-util.[ch] and capability.[ch] → ↵Lennart Poettering
capability-util.[ch] The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official upstream headers.
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.
2015-08-05journald: fix count of object meta fieldsLennart Poettering
There are 12 object meta fields created in dispatch_message_real(), but we only allocated space for 11. Fix this. Fixes #866.

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.

2014-06-19journald: make SplitMode=uid the defaultLennart Poettering
Now that we actually can distuingish system and normal users there's no point in taking session information into account anymore when splitting up logs. This has the beenfit with that coredump information will actually end up in each user's own journal.
2014-03-14journald: add support for wall forwardingSebastian Thorarensen
This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in users (like wall). Two options are added: * ForwardToWall (default yes) * MaxLevelWall (default emerg) 'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option 'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'. This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending emergency messages to all logged in users.

2013-11-25conf-parser: distinguish between multiple sections with the same nameTom Gundersen
Pass on the line on which a section was decleared to the parsers, so they can distinguish between multiple sections (if they chose to). Currently no parsers take advantage of this, but a follow-up patch will do that to distinguish [Address] Address=192.168.0.1/24 Label=one [Address] Address=192.168.0.2/24 Label=two from [Address] Address=192.168.0.1/24 Label=one Address=192.168.0.2/24 Label=two

2013-09-17journald: avoid NSS in journaldLennart Poettering
In order to avoid a deadlock between journald looking up the "systemd-journal" group name, and nscd (or anyother NSS backing daemon) logging something back to the journal avoid all NSS in journald the same way as we avoid it from PID 1. With this change we rely on the kernel file system logic to adjust the group of created journal files via the SETGID bit on the journal directory. To ensure that it is always set, even after the user created it with a simply "mkdir" on the shell we fix it up via tmpfiles on boot.

2013-06-20journal: allow callers to specify OBJECT_PID=Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
When journald encounters a message with OBJECT_PID= set coming from a priviledged process (UID==0), additional fields will be added to the message: OBJECT_UID=, OBJECT_GID=, OBJECT_COMM=, OBJECT_EXE=, OBJECT_CMDLINE=, OBJECT_AUDIT_SESSION=, OBJECT_AUDIT_LOGINUID=, OBJECT_SYSTEMD_CGROUP=, OBJECT_SYSTEMD_SESSION=, OBJECT_SYSTEMD_OWNER_UID=, OBJECT_SYSTEMD_UNIT= or OBJECT_SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT=. This is for other logging daemons, like setroubleshoot, to be able to augment their logs with data about the process. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=951627
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.

2013-04-17Report about syntax errors with metadataZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The information about the unit for which files are being parsed is passed all the way down. This way messages land in the journal with proper UNIT=... or USER_UNIT=... attribution. 'systemctl status' and 'journalctl -u' not displaying those messages has been a source of confusion for users, since the journal entry for a misspelt setting was often logged quite a bit earlier than the failure to start a unit.

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.
2012-11-14build-sys: store journald code in a noinst libraryZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The point is to allow the use of journald functions by other binaries. Before, journald code was split into multiple files (journald-*.[ch]), but all those files all required functions from journald.c. And journald.c has its own main(). Now, it is possible to link against those functions, e.g. from test binaries. This constitutes a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872638. The patch does the following: 1. rename journald.h to journald-server.h and move corresponding code to journald-server.c. 2. add journald-server.c and other journald-*.c parts to libsystemd-journal-internal. 3. remove journald-syslog.c from test_journal_syslog_SOURCES, since it is now contained in libsystemd-journal-internal. There are no code changes, apart from the removal of a few static's, to allow function calls between files.
