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.
2016-10-12journald: use the event loop dispatch timestamp for journal entriesLennart Poettering
Let's use the earliest linearized event timestamp for journal entries we have: the event dispatch timestamp from the event loop, instead of requerying the timestamp at the time of writing. This makes the time a bit more accurate, allows us to query the kernel time one time less per event loop, and also makes sure we always use the same timestamp for both attempts to write an entry to a journal file.
2016-10-12journal: when iterating through entry arrays and we hit an invalid one keep ↵Lennart Poettering
going When iterating through partially synced journal files we need to be prepared for hitting with invalid entries (specifically: non-initialized). Instead of generated an error and giving up, let's simply try to preceed with the next one that is valid (and debug log about this). This reworks the logic introduced with caeab8f626e709569cc492b75eb7e119076059e7 to iteration in both directions, and tries to look for valid entries located after the invalid one. It also extends the behaviour to both iterating through the global entry array and per-data object entry arrays. Fixes: #4088
2016-10-12journal: add an explicit check for uninitialized objectsLennart Poettering
Let's make dissecting of borked journal files more expressive: if we encounter an object whose first 8 bytes are all zeroes, then let's assume the object was simply never initialized, and say so. Previously, this would be detected as "overly short object", which is true too in a away, but it's a lot more helpful printing different debug options for the case where the size is not initialized at all and where the size is initialized to some bogus value. No function behaviour change, only a different log messages for both cases.
2016-10-12journal: also check that our entry arrays are properly orderedLennart Poettering
Let's and extra check, reusing check_properly_ordered() also for journal_file_next_entry_for_data().
2016-10-12journal: split out check for properly ordered arrays into its own functionLennart Poettering
This adds a new call check_properly_ordered(), which we can reuse later, and makes the code a bit more readable.
2016-10-12journal: split out array index inc/dec code into a new call bump_array_index()Lennart Poettering
This allows us to share a bit more code between journal_file_next_entry() and journal_file_next_entry_for_data().
2016-10-12journal: when we encounter a broken journal file, add some debug loggingLennart Poettering
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.
2016-10-12Avoid forever loop for journalctl --list-boots command (#4278)hese10
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.
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.

2016-09-26journald,ratelimit: fix wrong calculation of burst_modulate() (#4218)HATAYAMA Daisuke
This patch fixes wrong calculation of burst_modulate(), which now calculates the values smaller than really expected ones if available disk space is strictly more than 1MB. In particular, if available disk space is strictly more than 1MB and strictly less than 16MB, the resulted value becomes smaller than its original one. >>> (math.log2(1*1024**2)-16) / 4 1.0 >>> (math.log2(16*1024**2)-16) / 4 2.0 >>> (math.log2(256*1024**2)-16) / 4 3.0 → This matches the comment in the function.
2016-09-23journal: fix HMAC calculation when appending a data objectFranck Bui
Since commit 5996c7c295e073ce21d41305169132c8aa993ad0 (v190 !), the calculation of the HMAC is broken because the hash for a data object including a field is done in the wrong order: the field object is hashed before the data object is. However during verification, the hash is done in the opposite order as objects are scanned sequentially.

2016-08-25journal: implicitly flush to var on recovery (#4028)Vito Caputo
When the system journal becomes re-opened post-flush with the runtime journal open, it implies we've recovered from something like an ENOSPC situation where the system journal rotate had failed, leaving the system journal closed, causing the runtime journal to be opened post-flush. For the duration of the unavailable system journal, we log to the runtime journal. But when the system journal gets opened (space made available, for example), we need to close the runtime journal before new journal writes will go to the system journal. Calling server_flush_to_var() after opening the system journal with a runtime journal present, post-flush, achieves this while preserving the runtime journal's contents in the system journal. The combination of the present flushed flag file and the runtime journal being open is a state where we should be logging to the system journal, so it's appropriate to resume doing so once we've successfully opened the system journal.

2016-08-17journal: ensure open journals from find_journal() (#3973)Vito Caputo
If journals get into a closed state like when rotate fails due to ENOSPC, when space is made available it currently goes unnoticed leaving the journals in a closed state indefinitely. By calling system_journal_open() on entry to find_journal() we ensure the journal has been opened/created if possible. Also moved system_journal_open() up to after open_journal(), before find_journal(). Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3968
2016-08-12journalctl: allow --root argument for journal watchingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.
2016-08-12sd-journal: fix sd_journal_open_directory with SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOTZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The directory argument that is given to sd_j_o_d was ignored when SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT was given, and directories relative to the root of the host file system were used. With that flag, sd_j_o_d should do the same as sd_j_open_container: use the path as "prefix", i.e. the directory relative to which everything happens. Instead of touching sd_j_o_d, journal_new is fixed to do what sd_j_o_c was doing, and treat the specified path as prefix when SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT is specified.
2016-08-12sd-journal: allow SYSTEM and CURRENT_USER flags with sd_j_open_directory[_fd]Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek

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.

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.

2016-07-19sd-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.
