man: also install systemd-stub man page as sd-stub
So, typically systemd-boot is referenced as sd-boot, due to te usual
shorter naming in ESP resources. systemd-stub didnt do that so far,
since it never appears as separate files in the ESP. However it's super
annoying that you can find "man sd-boot", but not the very closely
related "man sd-stub". Let's fix that, and also add an "sd-stub" alias
to the "systemd-stub" man page.
man: clarify where the settings in type #1 entries are documented
So (maybe weirdly) loader.conf(5) documents both loader.conf and type #1
entries (because they share a similar syntax). But it then only lists
the options of loader.conf. Let's add an explicit hint where to find
the documentation of the type #1 entries.
journal-file: port journal_file_open() to openat_report_new()
We so far had some magic logic in place that files we open for write
with size zero are freshly created. That of course is a bogus
assumption, in particular as this code deals with corrupted file systems
which oftentimes contain zero size inodes from left-over runs.
Let's fix this properly, and actually let the kernel tell us whether it
create the file or not.
fs-util: add openat_report_new() wrapper around openat()
This is a wrapper around openat(). It works mostly the same, except for
one thing: it race-freely reports whether we just created the indicated
file in case O_CREAT is passed without O_EXCL.
basic/strv: avoid potential UB with references to array[-1]
"""
Given an array a[N] of N elements of type T:
- Forming a pointer &a[i] (or a + i) with 0 ≤ i ≤ N is safe.
- Forming a pointer &a[i] with i < 0 or i > N causes undefined behavior.
- Dereferencing a pointer &a[i] with 0 ≤ i < N is safe.
- Dereferencing a pointer &a[i] with i < 0 or i ≥ N causes undefined behavior.
"""
As pointed by by @medhefgo, here we were forming a pointer to a[-1]. a itself
wasn't NULL, so a > 0, and a-1 was also >= 0, and this didn't seem to cause any
problems. But it's better to be formally correct, especially if we move the
code to src/fundamental/ later on and compile it differently.
Compilation shows no size change (with -O0 -g) on build/systemd, so this should
have no effect whatsoever.
With my crappy home network the test takes 29.5s usually. But with any
tiny slowdown, it goes above the 30s limit and fails. Let's bump the
timeout to avoid spurious failures.
"meson test" uses a test name generated from the file name and those long names
cause the test log output to exceed terminal width which looks bad. Let's replace
some long names with more-meaningful names that actually say something about
the tests.
These unit (if enabled) will try to update the OS in regular intervals.
Moreover, every day in the early morning this will attempt to reboot the
system if there's a newer version installed than running.
timesyncd: improve log message whe getting a reply from server
The message is misleading: it's not about synchronization but about
successful communicaiton. And it's not about "initial", but only about
first contact since we siwtched to this server.
timesyncd: generate a structure log message the first time we set the clock correctly
Usecase: later on we can use this to retroactively adjust log output in
journalctl or similar on systems lacking an RTC: we just have to search
for this sructured log message that indicates the first sync point and
can then retroactively adjust the incorrect timestamps collected before
that.
timesyncd: move stuff that is not about setting the clock out of manager_adjust_clock()
Let's make sure manager_adjust_clock() is purely about setting the
clock, and nothing else.
Let's clean up logging this way. manager_adjust_clock() now won#t log
about errors, but the caller can safely do that, and do with the right
log message string.
shared: split out ESP/XBOOTLDR search stuff from bootspec.c
The code is quite different from the rest of bootspec.c, with different
deps and stuff. There's even a /***/ line to separate the two parts.
Given how large the file already is, let#s just split it into two.
docs: add new "sort-key" field to boot loader spec
This allows snippet generators to explicitly order entries: any string
can be set as an entry's "sort key". If set, sd-boot will use it to sort
entries on display.
New logic is hence (ignore the boot counting logic)
sort-key is set → primary sort key: sort-key (lexicographically increasing order)
→ secondary sort key: machine-id (also increasing order)
→ tertiary sort key: version (lexicographically decreasing order!)
sort-key is not set → primary sort key: entry filename (aka id), lexicographically increasing order)
With this scheme we can order OSes by their names from A-Z but then put
within the same OS still the newest version first. This should clean up
the order to match expectations more.
shared/install: do not print aliases longer than UNIT_NAME_MAX
065364920281e1cf59cab989e17aff21790505c4 did the conversion to install_path_printf().
But IIUC, here we are just looking at a unit file name, not the full
path.
shared/install: consistently use 'lp' as the name for the LookupPaths instance
Most of the codebase does this. Here we were using 'p' or 'paths'
instead. Those names are very generic and not good for a "global-like"
object like the LookupPaths instance. And we also have 'path' variable,
and it's confusing to have 'path' and 'paths' in the same function that
are unrelated.
Also pass down LookupPaths* lower in the call stack, in preparation for
future changes.
homed: permit inodes owned by UID_MAPPED_ROOT to be created in $HOME
If people use nspawn in their $HOME we should allow this inodes owned by
this special UID to be created temporarily, so that UID mapped nspawn
containers just work.
