CODING_STYLE: clarify the rules for the src/basic & src/shared split
The rule is changed from "put in basic unless there's a reason not to" to "put
in shared unless there's a reason not to", to match the change done in previous
commit. This minimizes libbasic. See previous commit for the reasons why this
is useful.
Previously, the guideline was based on whether the files in question use
"publicly exported APIs". This distinction is not particularly relevant. Let's
consider all other programs we compile: most of them use "publicly exported
APIs", usually linking to libsystemd-shared.so for the actual code. But those
programs are not forced to be in src/basic, and the distinction whether they
happen to use 'sd-*.h' or not is of no importance. The same is true for files
in src/shared/. If we didn't have publicly exported shared objects, we'd put
everything in libsystemd-shared.so. So let's only move things out of it that we
need to. Previous guideline was not "wrong", in the sense that it created *a*
split that was functional (no code in src/shared was required in the publicly
exported shared objects), but it put more files in basic/ then necessary.
Not much changes in practice, because (as previous commit shows), moving files
between libbasic.a and libsystemd-shared.so mostly just changes compilation
order.
The list of components which cannot use libsystemd-shared.so is adjusted.
Move various files that don't need to be in basic/ to shared/
This doesn't have much effect on the final build, because we link libbasic.a
into libsystemd-shared.so, so in the end, all the object built from basic/
end up in libsystemd-shared. And when the static library is linked into binaries,
any objects that are included in it but are not used are trimmed. Hence, the
size of output artifacts doesn't change:
$ du -sb /var/tmp/inst* 54181861 /var/tmp/inst1 (old) 54207441 /var/tmp/inst1s (old split-usr) 54182477 /var/tmp/inst2 (new) 54208041 /var/tmp/inst2s (new split-usr)
(The negligible change in size is because libsystemd-shared.so is bigger
by a few hundred bytes. I guess it's because symbols are named differently
or something like that.)
The effect is on the build process, in particular partial builds. This change
effectively moves the requirements on some build steps toward the leaves of the
dependency tree. Two effects:
- when building items that do not depend on libsystemd-shared, we
build less stuff for libbasic.a (which wouldn't be used anyway,
so it's a net win).
- when building items that do depend on libshared, we reduce libbasic.a as a
synchronization point, possibly allowing better parallelism.
Method:
1. copy list of .h files from src/basic/meson.build to /tmp/basic
2. $ for i in $(grep '.h$' /tmp/basic); do echo $i; git --no-pager grep "include \"$i\"" src/basic/ 'src/lib*' 'src/nss-*' 'src/journal/sd-journal.c' |grep -v "${i%.h}.c";echo ;done | less

process-util: check for correct kill return value (#10841)
Code was not doing a wait() after kill() due to checking for a return value > 0, and was leaving zombie processes. This affected things like sd-bus unixexec connections.
"You may optionally specify attribute names with ‘__’ preceding and
following the name. This allows you to use them in header files without
being concerned about a possible macro of the same name. For example,
you may use the attribute name __noreturn__ instead of noreturn. "
doc: document the boot menu entry identifier vocabulary
The existing text already said "See below regarding a recommended
vocabulary for boot loader entry identifiers.", but the section for it
was still missing. Let's fill in the missing bits, and describe basic
suggested rules for the boot menu entry identifier vocabulary, in
particular how to identify Windows and MacOS X installations, and how to
name automatic entries vs. explicitly configured ones.
This basically follows the logic implemented in sd-boot these days.
util-lib: move main() definition macros to its own header file
This way, we can extend the macro a bit with stuff pulled in from other
headers without this affecting everything which pulls in macro.h, which
is one of our most basic headers.
This is just refactoring, no change in behaviour, in prepartion for
later changes.
pam_systemd: suppress LOG_DEBUG log messages if debugging is off
In the PAM module we need to suppress LOG_DEBUG messages manually, if
debug logging is not on, as PAM won't do this for us. We did this
correctly for most log messages already, but two were missing. Let's fix
those too.
main: when reloading PID 1 let's reset the default environment
Otherwise we keep collecting stuff from env generators, and we really
shouldn't.
This was working properly on reexec but not on reload, as for reexec we
would always start fresh, but for reload would reuse the Manager object
and hence its default environment set.
test: kill all processes launched by test-execute before exiting
As was shown in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10696#issuecomment-439613204,
currently `meson` waits for 1080 seconds (which is three times the global timeout) for the
test to fail completely even though it takes just two minutes for it to really fail. This
happens because the test itself leaves the services it has launched behind, which, in turn, makes
meson think that the test is still in progress. KILL_ALL with SIGKILL should make the issue
go away.
It was only used in one place, where we don't actually need it, and
it is too easy to forget to update it when adding new items to the table.
Let's just drop it.

cgroup v2: DefaultCPUAccounting=yes if CPU controller isn't required
We now don't enable the CPU controller just for CPU accounting if we are
on 4.15+ and using pure unified hierarchy, as this is provided
externally to the CPU controller. This makes CPUAccounting=yes
essentially free, so enabling it by default when it's cheap seems like a
good idea.

cgroup v2: Don't require CPU controller for CPU accounting in 4.15+
systemd only uses functions that are as of Linux 4.15+ provided
externally to the CPU controller (currently usage_usec), so if we have a
new enough kernel, we don't need to set CGROUP_MASK_CPU for
CPUAccounting=true as the CPU controller does not need to necessarily be
enabled in this case.
Part of this patch is modelled on an earlier patch by Ryutaroh Matsumoto
(see PR #9665).
journald: check whether sscanf has changed the value corresponding to %n
It's possible for sscanf to receive strings containing all three fields
and not matching the template at the same time. When this happens the
value of k doesn't change, which basically means that process_audit_string
tries to access memory randomly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't :-)

fsck: configure logging before use and define main through macro
There's a slight change in logic: before, when rebooting the machine, we could
also request quotacheck (by touching /run/systemd/quotacheck) if the fsck
helper set FSCK_ERROR_CORRECTED. This is just a race, and doesn't matter much
in practice.
