This is supposed an error when building fuzzers for sanitization (that is a
nested build with the sanitization options):
In file included from ../../../../src/basic/util.c:21:0:
../../../../src/basic/build.h:4:21: fatal error: version.h: No such file or directory
#include "version.h"
^
compilation terminated.
Internally we do 'ninja -C test/fuzz/sanitize-address-fuzzers fuzzers'.
I'm not quite sure why version.h is not built in this case. But declaring
version_h as the dependency forces it to be built and solves the issue.
It would be better to define the dependency on individual exe's, but this
doesn't work:
meson.build:2884:8: ERROR: Argument is of an unacceptable type 'CustomTarget'.
Must be either an external dependency (returned by find_library() or
dependency()) or an internal dependency (returned by declare_dependency()).
Let's treat this a hack for another hack, which the nested build is.
This will be useful when building distro packages, because we can set the
version string to the rpm/dpkg/whatever version string, and getter reports
from end users.

This is very useful during development, because a precise version string is
embedded in the build product and displayed during boot, so we don't have to
guess answers for questions like "did I just boot the latest version or the one
from before?".
This change creates an overhead for "noop" builds. On my laptop, 'ninja -C
build' that does nothing goes from 0.1 to 0.5 s. It would be nice to avoid
this, but I think that <1 s is still acceptable.
Fixes#7183.
PACKAGE_VERSION is renamed to GIT_VERSION, to make it obvious that this is the
more dynamically changing version string.
Why save to a file? It would be easy to generate the version tag using
run_command(), but we want to go through a file so that stuff gets rebuilt when
this file changes. If we just defined an variable in meson, ninja wouldn't know
it needs to rebuild things.
Let's not use atoi() if we can simply provide the project version as a number.
In C code, this is the numerical project version. In substitutions in other
files, this is just the bare substitution.
The "PACKAGE_" prefix is from autotools, and is strange. We call systemd a
"project", and "package" is something that distros build. Let's rename.
PACKAGE_URL is renamed to PROJECT_URL for the same reasons and for consistency.
(This leave PACKAGE_VERSION as the stringified define for C code.)
PACKAGE_VERSION is more explicit, and also, we don't pretend that changing the
project name in meson.build has any real effect. "systemd" is embedded in a
thousand different places, so let's just use the hardcoded string consistently.
This is mostly in preparation for future changes.
This is useful for distributions, where the stability of interface names should
be preseved after an upgrade of systemd. So when some specific release of the
distro is made available, systemd defaults to the latest & greatest naming
scheme, and subsequent updates set the same default. This default may still
be overriden through the kernel and env var options.
A special value "latest" is also allowed. Without a specific name, it is harder
to verride from meson. In case of 'combo' options, meson reads the default
during the initial configuration, and "remembers" this choice. When systemd is
updated, old build/ directories could keep the old default, which would be
annoying. Hence, "latest" is introduced to make it explicit, yet follow the
upstream. This is actually useful for the user too, because it may be used
as an override, without having to actually specify a version.
add new "systemd-run-generator" for running arbitrary commands from the kernel command line as system services using the "systemd.run=" kernel command line switch
This is really useful for running commands like this:
# systemd-run -i someimage.raw -b systemd.run='"some command line"'
This will now run the command line inside a small Type=oneshot service
and even propagate the exit code of the command back to the parent. And
all that with the full system booted up.
By default this causes the system to shutdown right after the command
completed, but this can be tweaked with systemd.run_success_action= and
systemd.run_failure_action=.
Note that when used in VMs the exit status can of course not be
propagate, as VMs don't really know a concept for that.
Fixes: #2728
This is also supposed to be preparation for doing #10234 eventually,
where a very similar operation is requested: instead of importing a tree
to /var/lib/machines it would need to be imported into
/var/lib/portables/.
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
Assigning multiple variables in one line is no valid meson syntax.
Without this running meson with -Ddns-over-tls=false fails with:
meson.build:1191:8: ERROR: Tried to assign an invalid value to variable.
Fuzzers are just special tests anyways and without this, building with
'-Dtests=false' fails with:
.../src/fuzz/fuzz-main.c:20: undefined reference to `test_setup_logging'
lz4-r130 was released on May 29th, 2015. Let's drop the work-around for older
versions. In particular, we won't test any new code against those ancient
releases, so we shouldn't pretend they are supported.
This is might be useful in some cases, but it's primarily an example for
a boot check service that can be plugged before boot-complete.target.
It's disabled by default.
All it does is check whether the failed unit count is zero
This is the counterpiece to the boot counting implemented in
systemd-boot: if a boot is detected as successful we mark drop the
counter again from the booted snippet or kernel image.
After discussions with kernel folks, a system with memcg really
shouldn't need extra hard limits on file descriptors anymore, as they
are properly accounted for by memcg anyway. Hence, let's bump these
values to their maximums.
This also adds a build time option to turn thiss off, to cover those
users who do not want to use memcg.
I think this is a slightly cleaner approach than parsing the
configuration file at multiple places, as this way there's only a single
reload cycle for logind.conf, and that's systemd-logind.service's
runtime.
This means that logind and dbus become a requirement of
user-runtime-dir, but given that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set anyway
without logind and dbus around this isn't really any limitation.
This also simplifies linking a bit as this means user-runtime-dir
doesn't have to link against any code of logind itself.
