2014-12-12util: document why we have alloca_align()Lennart Poettering
2014-12-12util: when using basename() for creating temporary files, verify the ↵Lennart Poettering
resulting name is actually valid Also, rename filename_is_safe() to filename_is_valid(), since it actually does a full validation for what the kernel will accept as file name, it's not just a heuristic.
2014-12-09treewide: sanitize loop_writeZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
loop_write() didn't follow the usual systemd rules and returned status partially in errno and required extensive checks from callers. Some of the callers dealt with this properly, but many did not, treating partial writes as successful. Simplify things by conforming to usual rules.
2014-12-10core: unify how we iterate over inotify eventsLennart Poettering
Let's add some syntactic sugar for iterating through inotify events, and use it everywhere.
2014-12-09sd-bus: get rid of PID starttime conceptLennart Poettering
As kdbus no longer exports this, remove all traces from sd-bus too
2014-12-03machine-id-setup: add a machine_id_commit call to commit on disk a transient ↵Didier Roche
machine-id If /etc was read only at boot time with an empty /etc/machine-id, the latter will be mounted as a tmpfs and get reset at each boot. If the system becomes rw later, this functionality enables to commit in a race-free manner the transient machine-id to disk.

2014-11-27kdbus: set kernel attach mask before creating the first busLennart Poettering
2014-11-27util: add function getting proc environJakub Filak
On the contrary of env, the added function returns all characters cescaped, because it improves reproducibility.
2014-11-25util: mark page_size() as pureLennart Poettering
2014-11-21util: add functions getting proc cwd and rootJakub Filak
/proc/[pid]/cwd and /proc/[pid]/root are symliks to corresponding directories The added functions returns values of that symlinks.
2014-11-14busctl: add new "call" command to invoke methods on a serviceLennart Poettering
2014-11-07shared: add readlink_valueTom Gundersen
Reads the basename of the target of a symlink.
2014-11-07util: file_is_priv_sticky() is used internally in util.c only nowadays, make ↵Lennart Poettering
it static
2014-11-07util: rework /proc/cmdline parser to use unquote_first_word()Lennart Poettering
2014-11-04util: introduce negative_errno()David Herrmann
Imagine a constructor like this: int object_new(void **out) { void *my_object; int r; ... r = ioctl(...); if (r < 0) return -errno; ... *out = my_object; return 0; } We have a lot of those in systemd. If you now call those, gcc might inline the call and optimize it. However, gcc cannot know that "errno" is negative if "r" is. Therefore, a caller like this will produce warnings: r = object_new(&obj); if (r < 0) return r; obj->xyz = "foobar"; In case the ioctl in the constructor fails, gcc might assume "errno" is 0 and thus the error-handling is not triggered. Therefore, "obj" is uninitialized, but accessed. Gcc will warn about that. The new negative_errno() helper can be used to mitigate those warnings. The helper is guaranteed to return a negative integer. Furthermore, it spills out runtime warnings if "errno" is non-negative. Instead of returning "-errno", you can use: return negative_errno(); gcc will no longer assume that this can return >=0, thus, it will not warn about it. Use this new helper in libsystemd-terminal to fix some grdev-drm warnings.
2014-10-30util: add log2u(), log2u_round_up()Michal Schmidt
Two's logarithms for unsigned.
2014-10-30util: unify how we see srand()Lennart Poettering
2014-10-27util: introduce sethostname_idempotentMichal Sekletar
Function queries system hostname and applies changes only when necessary. Also, migrate all client of sethostname to sethostname_idempotent while at it.
2014-10-23label: move is_dir() to util.cLennart Poettering
2014-09-22util: avoid non-portable __WORDSIZEEmil Renner Berthing
Lets not unnecessarily rely on __WORDSIZE, which is not clearly specified by any spec. Use explicit size comparisons if we're not interested in the WORDSIZE, anyway. (David: adjust commit message to explain why we do this)
2014-09-22util: add alloca_align()David Herrmann
The alloca_align() helper is the alloca() equivalent of posix_memalign(). As there is no such function provided by glibc, we simply account for additional memory and return a pointer offset into the allocated memory to grant the alignment. Furthermore, alloca0_align() is added, which simply clears the allocated memory.
2014-09-03localed: remove free_and_copyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It was mostly a duplicate of free_and_strdup().
2014-08-27util: make lookup_uid() globalDavid Herrmann
This is a useful helper, make it global. It will be required for libsystemd-terminal, at minimum.
2014-08-26util: reset signals when we fork off agentsLennart Poettering
If we invoke agents, we should make sure we actually can kill them again. I mean, it's probably not our job to cleanup the signals if our tools are invoked in weird contexts, but at least we should make sure, that the subprocesses we invoke and intend to control work as intended. Also see: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-August/022460.html
2014-08-22core: add support for a configurable system-wide start-up timeoutLennart Poettering
When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the failure actions already implemented for services that fail. This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while. When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters. Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
2014-08-21util: change return value of startswith() to non-constLennart Poettering
This way we can use it on non-const strings, and don't end up with a const'ified result. This is similar to libc's strstr() which also takes a const string but returns a non-const one.
2014-08-19util: remove unused FOREACH_WORD_SEPARATOR_QUOTEDLennart Poettering
2014-08-19sysusers: add another column to sysusers files for the home directoryLennart Poettering
2014-08-15core: Refuse mount on symlinkTimofey Titovets
2014-08-13util: allow strappenda to take any number of argsDave Reisner
This makes strappenda3 redundant, so we remove its usage and definition. Add a few tests along the way for sanity.
2014-08-03util.h: fix typoZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2014-08-03util.h: include missing.h, for struct file_handleSimon McVittie
This breaks udev-builtin-btrfs.c, which reinvents some of missing.h, so use missing.h there too. [zj: removed #include "config.h" and wrapped #include <linux/btrfs.h> in ifdef HAVE_LINUX_BTRFS_H as discussed on the mailing list.]
2014-08-01resolved: read the system /etc/resolv.conf unless we wrote it ourselvesLennart Poettering
This way we integrate nicely with foreign network management stacks, such as NM.
2014-07-31Reject invalid quoted stringsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
String which ended in an unfinished quote were accepted, potentially with bad memory accesses. Reject anything which ends in a unfished quote, or contains non-whitespace characters right after the closing quote. _FOREACH_WORD now returns the invalid character in *state. But this return value is not checked anywhere yet. Also, make 'word' and 'state' variables const pointers, and rename 'w' to 'word' in various places. Things are easier to read if the same name is used consistently. mbiebl_> am I correct that something like this doesn't work mbiebl_> ExecStart=/usr/bin/encfs --extpass='/bin/systemd-ask-passwd "Unlock EncFS"' mbiebl_> systemd seems to strip of the quotes mbiebl_> systemctl status shows mbiebl_> ExecStart=/usr/bin/encfs --extpass='/bin/systemd-ask-password Unlock EncFS $RootDir $MountPoint mbiebl_> which is pretty weird
2014-07-29resolved: when resolving an address PTR record via llmnr, make a tcp ↵Lennart Poettering
connection by default
2014-07-16Be more careful when checking for empty filesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
If we want to avoid reading a totally empty file, it seems better to check after we have opened the file, not before.
2014-07-13fileio: quote more shell characters in envfilesMantas Mikulėnas
Turns out, making strings shell-proof is harder than expected: # machinectl set-hostname "foo|poweroff" && . /etc/machine-info (This could be simplified by quoting *and* escaping all characters, which is harmless in shell but unnecessary.)
2014-07-07firstboot: get rid of firstboot generator again, introduce ↵Lennart Poettering
ConditionFirstBoot= instead As Zbigniew pointed out a new ConditionFirstBoot= appears like the nicer way to hook in systemd-firstboot.service on first boots (those with /etc unpopulated), so let's do this, and get rid of the generator again.
2014-07-07firstboot: follow lock protocol when changing /etc/shadowLennart Poettering
2014-07-07firstboot: add new component to query basic system settings on first boot, ↵Lennart Poettering
or when creating OS images offline A new tool "systemd-firstboot" can be used either interactively on boot, where it will query basic locale, timezone, hostname, root password information and set it. Or it can be used non-interactively from the command line when prepareing disk images for booting. When used non-inertactively the tool can either copy settings from the host, or take settings on the command line. $ systemd-firstboot --root=/path/to/my/new/root --copy-locale --copy-root-password --hostname=waldi The tool will be automatically invoked (interactively) now on first boot if /etc is found unpopulated. This also creates the infrastructure for generators to be notified via an environment variable whether they are running on the first boot, or not.
2014-07-07util: don't consider tabs special in string_has_cc() anymoreLennart Poettering
Instead, take a list of exceptions to our usual CC check
2014-07-03sd-bus: support connecting to remote hosts, directly into containersLennart Poettering
systemctl -H root@foobar:waldi will now show a list of services running on container "waldi" on host "foobar", using "root" for authenticating at "foobar". Since entereing a container requires priviliges, this will only work correctly for root logins.
2014-07-02util: generalize is_localhost() and use it everywhere where applicableLennart Poettering
2014-06-18tmpfiles: add "+" modifier support to b, c, p lines in addition to LLennart Poettering
2014-06-17install: make sure that --root= mode doesn't make us consider all units ↵Lennart Poettering
outside of search path
2014-06-16util: add realloc_multiply() helperDavid Herrmann
This is similar to malloc_multiply() and friends. It is realloc() with a multiplication-overflow check.
2014-06-16util: fix multiply-alloc helpers with size==0David Herrmann
Passing 0 to malloc() is not required to return NULL. Therefore, don't bail out if "b" is 0. This is not of importance to the existing helpers, but the upcoming realloc_multiply() requires this. To keep consistence, we keep the same behavior for the other helpers.
2014-06-16tmpfiles: add new "L+" command as stronger version of "L", that removes the ↵Lennart Poettering
destination before creating a symlink Also, make use of this for mtab as long as mount insists on creating it even if we invoke it with "-n".
2014-06-12sysusers: add minimal tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group from ↵Lennart Poettering
static files systemd-sysusers is a tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group from static definition files that take a lot of inspiration from tmpfiles snippets. These snippets should carry information about system users only. To make sure it is not misused for normal users these snippets only allow configuring UID and gecos field for each user, but do not allow configuration of the home directory or shell, which is necessary for real login users. The purpose of this tool is to enable state-less systems that can populate /etc with the minimal files necessary, solely from static data in /usr. systemd-sysuser is additive only, and will never override existing users. This tool will create these files directly, and not via some user database abtsraction layer. This is appropriate as this tool is supposed to run really early at boot, and is only useful for creating system users, and system users cannot be stored in remote databases anyway. The tool is also useful to be invoked from RPM scriptlets, instead of useradd. This allows moving from imperative user descriptions in RPM to declarative descriptions. The UID/GID for a user/group to be created can either be chosen dynamic, or fixed, or be read from the owner of a file in the file system, in order to support reconstructing the correct IDs for files that shall be owned by them. This also adds a minimal user definition file, that should be sufficient for most basic systems. Distributions are expected to patch these files and augment the contents, for example with fixed UIDs for the users where that's necessary.
