2016-08-04util-lib: rework /tmp and /var/tmp handling codeLennart Poettering
Beef up the existing var_tmp() call, rename it to var_tmp_dir() and add a matching tmp_dir() call (the former looks for the place for /var/tmp, the latter for /tmp). Both calls check $TMPDIR, $TEMP, $TMP, following the algorithm Python3 uses. All dirs are validated before use. secure_getenv() is used in order to limite exposure in suid binaries. This also ports a couple of users over to these new APIs. The var_tmp() return parameter is changed from an allocated buffer the caller will own to a const string either pointing into environ[], or into a static const buffer. Given that environ[] is mostly considered constant (and this is exposed in the very well-known getenv() call), this should be OK behaviour and allows us to avoid memory allocations in most cases. Note that $TMPDIR and friends override both /var/tmp and /tmp usage if set.

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.

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

2016-07-19sd-journal: when formatting log messages, implicitly strip trailing whitespaceLennart Poettering
When converting log messages from human readable text into binary records to send off to journald in sd_journal_print(), strip trailing whitespace in the log message. This way, handling of logs made via syslog(), stdout/stderr and sd_journal_print() are treated the same way: trailing (but not leading) whitespace is automatically removed, in particular \n and \r. Note that in case of syslog() and stdout/stderr based logging the stripping takes place server-side though, while for the native protocol based transport this takes place client-side. This is because in the former cases conversion from free-form human-readable strings into structured, binary log records takes place on the server-side while for journal-native logging it happens on the client side, and after conversion into binary records we probably shouldn't alter the data anymore. See: #3416

2016-06-28journalct: allow --boot=0 to DTRT with --file/--directoryZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
--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.
2016-06-28journalctl: use simpler variable names in get_boots()Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Those are just local variables and ref_boot_offset is especially obnoxious.
2016-06-28journalct: do no allow --this-boot to take argumentsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Before --this-boot was deprecated in a331b5e6d47243, it did not take any arguments.
2016-06-28journalctl: allow --file/--directory with --boot or --list-bootsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.

2016-05-05tree-wide: introduce new SOCKADDR_UN_LEN() macro, and use it everywhereLennart Poettering
The macro determines the right length of a AF_UNIX "struct sockaddr_un" to pass to connect() or bind(). It automatically figures out if the socket refers to an abstract namespace socket, or a socket in the file system, and properly handles the full length of the path field. This macro is not only safer, but also simpler to use, than the usual offsetof() + strlen() logic.

2016-04-29core: rename StartLimitInterval= to StartLimitIntervalSec=Lennart Poettering
We generally follow the rule that for time settings we suffix the setting name with "Sec" to indicate the default unit if none is specified. The only exception was the rate limiting interval settings. Fix this, and keep the old names for compatibility. Do the same for journald's RateLimitInterval= setting

2016-04-27journal: set STATE_ARCHIVED as part of offlining (#2740)Vito Caputo
The only code path which makes a journal durable is via journal_file_set_offline(). When we perform a rotate the journal's header->state is being set to STATE_ARCHIVED prior to journal_file_set_offline() being called. In journal_file_set_offline(), we short-circuit the entire offline when f->header->state != STATE_ONLINE. This all results in none of the journal_file_set_offline() fsync() calls being reached when rotate archives a journal, so archived journals are never explicitly made durable. What we do now is instead of setting the f->header->state to STATE_ARCHIVED directly in journal_file_rotate() prior to journal_file_close(), we set an archive flag in f->archive for the journal_file_set_offline() machinery to honor by committing STATE_ARCHIVED instead of STATE_OFFLINE when set. Prior to this, rotated journals were never getting fsync() explicitly performed on them, since journal_file_set_offline() short-circuited. Obviously this is undesirable, and depends entirely on the underlying filesystem as to how much durability was achieved when simply closing the file. Note that this problem existed prior to the recent asynchronous fsync changes, but those changes do facilitate our performing this durable offline on rotate without blocking, regardless of the underlying filesystem sync-on-close semantics.
2016-04-26journal-file: make seeking in corrupted files workLennart Poettering
Previously, when we used a bisection table for seeking through a corrupted file, and the end of the bisection table was corrupted we'd most likely fail the entire seek operation. Improve the situation: if we encounter invalid entries in a bisection table, linearly go backwards until we find a working entry again.
2016-04-26journal-file: when iterating through a partly corruped journal file, treat ↵Lennart Poettering
error like EOF When we linearly iterate through a corrupted journal file, and we encounter a read error, don't consider this fatal, but merely as EOF condition (and log about it).

Let's make sure EBADMSG is the one error we throw when we encounter corrupted data, so that we can neatly test for it.

2016-04-25journal: fix already offline check and thread leak (#2810)Vito Caputo
Early in journal_file_set_offline() f->header->state is tested to see if it's != STATE_ONLINE, and since there's no need to do anything if the journal isn't online, the function simply returned here. Since moving part of the offlining process to a separate thread, there are two problems here: 1. We can't simply check f->header->state, because if there is an offline thread active it may modify f->header->state. 2. Even if the journal is deemed offline, the thread responsible may still need joining, so a bare return may leak the thread's resources like its stack. To address #1, the helper journal_file_is_offlining() is called prior to accessing f->header->state. If journal_file_is_offlining() returns true, f->header->state isn't even checked, because an offlining journal is obviously online, and we'll just continue with the normal set offline code path. If journal_file_is_offlining() returns false, then it's safe to check f->header->state, because the offline_state is beyond the point of modifying f->header->state, and there's a memory barrier in the helper. If we find f->header->state is != STATE_ONLINE, then we call the idempotent journal_file_set_offline_thread_join() on the way out of the function, to join a potential lingering offline thread.
2016-04-25journalctl: turn --unit= in combination with --user into --user-unit=Lennart Poettering
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
2016-04-25sd-journal: "soft" deprecate sd_journal_open_container()Lennart Poettering
Let's document the call as deprecated, since it doesn't cover containers with directories that aren#t visible to the host properly.
2016-04-25journalctl: port --machine= switch to use machined's OpenMachineRootDirectory()Lennart Poettering
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). Fixes: #49
2016-04-25journalctl: don't trust the per-field entry tables when looking for boot IDsLennart Poettering
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
2016-04-25journalctl: improve output of --header a bitLennart Poettering
Show the various timestamps in hexadecimal too. This is useful for matching the timestamps included in cursor strings (which are encoded in hex, too), with the references in the journal header.
2016-04-25journalctl: simplify discover_next_boot() a bitLennart Poettering
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.
2016-04-25journalctl: simplify get_boots() a bit, by getting rid of one BootId objectLennart Poettering
Let's store the reference as simple sd_id128_t, since we don't actually need a BootId for it.

2016-04-25sd-journal: add logic to open journal files of a specific OS treeLennart Poettering
With this change a new flag SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT is introduced. If specified while opening the journal with the per-directory calls (specifically: sd_journal_open_directory() and sd_journal_open_directory_fd()) the passed directory is assumed to be the root directory of an OS tree, and the journal files are searched for in /var/log/journal, /run/log/journal relative to it. This is useful to allow usage of sd-journal on file descriptors returned by the OpenRootDirectory() call of machined.
2016-04-25sd-journal: add API for opening journal files or directories by fdLennart Poettering
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 also collect errors returned by readdir() into our set of errors, like we do this for all other errors from journal files.
2016-04-25journal: add inotify watches by-fd instead of by-pathLennart Poettering
This is slightly nicer, since we actually watch the directories we opened and enumerate. However, primarily this is preparation for adding support for opening journal files by fd without specifying any path, to be added in a later commit.

This suppresses output of the hostname for messages from the local system. Fixes: #2342
2016-04-22coredump,basic: generalize O_TMPFILE handling a bitLennart Poettering
This moves the O_TMPFILE handling from the coredumping code into common library code, and generalizes it as open_tmpfile_linkable() + link_tmpfile(). The existing open_tmpfile() function (which creates an unlinked temporary file that cannot be linked into the fs) is renamed to open_tmpfile_unlinkable(), to make the distinction clear. Thus, code may now choose between: a) open_tmpfile_linkable() + link_tmpfile() b) open_tmpfile_unlinkable() Depending on whether they want a file that may be linked back into the fs later on or not. In a later commit we should probably convert fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable(). Followup for: #3065
