udevadm: improve error output when a device is not specified or specified wrong
udevadm would dump help() output, instead of printing a message about what is
wrong. That's just bad UX. Let's use a different message if the argument is
missing, and a different one if it is invalid.
Also, rework the code to separate the business logic from argument parsing.
Let's not use "default:" in switch statements. This way, the compiler will warn
us if we miss one of the cases.
resolve: reject host names with leading or trailing dashes in /etc/hosts
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-2.3.1 says (approximately)
that only letters, numbers, and non-leading non-trailing dashes are allowed
(for entries with A/AAAA records). We set no restrictions.
hosts(5) says:
> Host names may contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs ("-"), and
> periods ("."). They must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an
> alphanumeric character.
nss-files follows those rules, and will ignore names in /etc/hosts that do not
follow this rule.
Let's follow the documented rules for /etc/hosts. In particular, this makes us
consitent with nss-files, reducing surprises for the user.
I'm pretty sure we should apply stricter filtering to names received over DNS
and LLMNR and MDNS, but it's a bigger project, because the rules differ
depepending on which level the label appears (rules for top-level names are
stricter), and this patch takes the minimalistic approach and only changes
behaviour for /etc/hosts.
Escape syntax is also disallowed in /etc/hosts, even if the resulting character
would be allowed. Other tools that parse /etc/hosts do not support this, and
there is no need to use it because no allowed characters benefit from escaping.
Do not treat various errors (missing hostname, invalid address) as fatal,
just warn and continue. /etc/hosts is written by humans and we should not
reject the whole file just because a singly entry is not to our liking.
Handle comments as described in hosts(5):
everything from the comment character until the end of the line should be
ignored.
socket-util: Let's trick out ubsan when it validate struct sockaddr_un.sun_path[]
Linux is stupid and sometimes returns a "struct sockaddr_un" that is
longer than its fields, as it NUL terminates .sun_path[] even if it has
full length. ubsan detects this, rightfully. Since this is a Linux
misdesign let's trick out ubsan a bit.

man/daemon.xml: use AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
Change the man page to recommend setting AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
instead of DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS. This is the recommended way from
the automake manual, as otherwise the flag can't be overridden by the
user with something like:
DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--some-additional-flags make distcheck

cgroup: Use varname for cgroup_disable documentation
The current use of literal + replaceable is pretty ugly as it usually
ends up with cgroup_disable= rendered in quotes, which looks really
weird, and this doesn't conform with others of a similar type (for
example, the earlier `DefaultDependencies=no` discussion in the same
file.
The new systemd analyze code dependend on routines provided by
libseccomp even if HAVE_SECCOMP is false. This expands the code disabled
in analyze-security to make sure we don't depend on seccomp.
format-table: never try to reuse cells that have color/url/uppercase set
The table cell reusing code is supposed to be an internal memory
optimization, and not more. This means behaviour should be the same as
if we wouldn't reuse cells.
format-table: add option to uppercase cells on display
This adds a per-cell option for uppercasing displayed strings.
Implicitly turn this on for the header row. The fact that we format the
table header in uppercase is a formatting thing after all, hence should
be applied by the formatter, i.e. the table display code.
Moreover, this provides us with the benefit that we can more nicely
reuse the specified table headers as JSON field names, like we already
do: json field names are usually not uppercase.
Since .timespan and .timestamp are unionized on top of each other this
doesn't actually matter, but it is still more correct to address it
under it's correct name.
macro: add macro for llvm no_sanitize_address attribute
We want it for global variables, which LLVM supports and GCC currently
does not (GCC does support it for functions, but we care about global
variables here).
Why is this relevant? When asan is used global variables are padded with
hotzones before and after. But we can't have that for the registration
variables we place in special ELF sections: we want them tightly packed
so that we can iterate through them.
Note that for gcc this isn't an issue, as it will pack stuff in
non-standard sections anyway, even if asan is used.

cgroup: Add DisableControllers= directive to disable controller in subtree
Some controllers (like the CPU controller) have a performance cost that
is non-trivial on certain workloads. While this can be mitigated and
improved to an extent, there will for some controllers always be some
overheads associated with the benefits gained from the controller.
Inside Facebook, the fix applied has been to disable the CPU controller
forcibly with `cgroup_disable=cpu` on the kernel command line.
This presents a problem: to disable or reenable the controller, a reboot
is required, but this is quite cumbersome and slow to do for many
thousands of machines, especially machines where disabling/enabling a
stateful service on a machine is a matter of several minutes.
Currently systemd provides some configuration knobs for these in the
form of `[Default]CPUAccounting`, `[Default]MemoryAccounting`, and the
like. The limitation of these is that Default*Accounting is overrideable
by individual services, of which any one could decide to reenable a
controller within the hierarchy at any point just by using a controller
feature implicitly (eg. `CPUWeight`), even if the use of that CPU
feature could just be opportunistic. Since many services are provided by
the distribution, or by upstream teams at a particular organisation,
it's not a sustainable solution to simply try to find and remove
offending directives from these units.
This commit presents a more direct solution -- a DisableControllers=
directive that forcibly disallows a controller from being enabled within
a subtree.

cgroup: Traverse leaves to realised cgroup to release controllers
This adds a depth-first version of unit_realize_cgroup_now which can
only do depth-first disabling of controllers, in preparation for the
DisableController= directive.

cgroup: Rework unit_realize_cgroup_now to explicitly be breadth-first
systemd currently doesn't really expend much effort in disabling
controllers. unit_realize_cgroup_now *may* be able to disable a
controller in the basic case when using cgroup v2, but generally won't
manage as downstream dependents may still use it.
This code doesn't add any logic to fix that, but it starts the process
of moving to have a breadth-first version of unit_realize_cgroup_now for
enabling, and a depth-first version of unit_realize_cgroup_now for
disabling.
sd-bus,static-destruct: clean up how we do our ELF section magic
This cleans up a bit how we set up things for the ELF section magic:
1. Let's always use our gcc macros, instead of __attribute__ directly
2. Align our structures to sizeof(void*), i.e. the pointer size, rather
than a fixed 8 or __BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__. The former is unnecessarily
high for 32bit systems, the latter too high for 64bit systems. gcc
seems to use ptr alignment for static variables itself, hence this
should be good enough for us too. Moreover, the Linux kernel also
uses pointer alginment for all its ELF section registration magic,
hence this should be good enough for us too.
3. Let's always prefix the sections we create ourself with SYSTEMD_,
just to make clear where they come from.
4. Always align the pointer we start from when iterating through these
lists. This should be unnecessary, but makes things nicely
systematic, as we'll align all pointers we use to access these
sections properly.
tree-wide: drop redundant space between __attribute__ and ((
We follow no general rule, but in most cases we do not place a space
outside of macro.h. Hence let's stick to that, and adapt macro.h too,
and follow the rule systematically that there shall not be a space
between __attribute__ and ((...
Yes, this does not matter at all, and is purely OCD cosmetics. But then
again, the uses of __attribute__ are very local only, hence the changes
cleaning this up are small and are unlikely to have to be repeated too
often...
util-lib: split out all temporary file related calls into tmpfiles-util.c
This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
