Re: [systemd-devel] interacting with logind to detect user idle time

2019-05-16 Thread Germano Massullo
To do practise I am using NetworkManager example [1]
All macros passed as arguments to functions
g_dbus_proxy_call_sync
g_dbus_proxy_new_for_bus_sync
are implemented at [2].
Is there an equivalent of [2] for logind? I made a quick search into
systemd repository [3] but I am getting too many results with the
search words I am using. I just need to figure out what parameters I
have to pass to the previous functions in order to retrieve
IdleSinceHint property

Another option would be to use "shutdown -r +10", which systemctl does
understand. This will schedule a reboot via systemd-logind.

[systemd-devel] [PATCH 0/6] pstore: Tool to archive contents of pstore upon boot/shutdown

2019-05-16 Thread Eric DeVolder
This patch introduces the systemd pstore service which will archive the
contents of the Linux persistent storage filesystem, pstore, to other storage,
thus preserving the existing information contained in the pstore, and clearing
pstore storage for future error events.

Linux provides a persistent storage file system, pstore[1], that can store
error records when the kernel dies (or reboots or powers-off). These records in
turn can be referenced to debug kernel problems (currently the kernel stuffs
the tail of the dmesg, which also contains a stack backtrace, into pstore).

The pstore file system supports a variety of backends that map onto persistent
storage, such as the ACPI ERST[2, Section 18.5 Error Serialization] and UEFI
variables[3 Appendix N Common Platform Error Record]. The pstore backends
typically offer a relatively small amount of persistent storage, e.g. 64KiB,
which can quickly fill up and thus prevent subsequent kernel crashes from
recording errors. Thus there is a need to monitor and extract the pstore
contents so that future kernel problems can also record information in the
pstore.

The pstore service is independent of the kdump service. In cloud environments
specifically, host and guest filesystems are on remote filesystems (eg. iSCSI
or NFS), thus kdump relies [implicitly and/or explicitly] upon proper operation
of networking software *and* hardware *and* infrastructure.  Thus it may not be
possible to capture a kernel coredump to a file since writes over the network
may not be possible.

The pstore backend, on the other hand, is completely local and provides a path
to store error records which will survive a reboot and aid in post-mortem
debugging.

Usage Notes:
To enable kernel recording of error records into pstore, one must either pass
crash_kexec_post_notifiers[4] to the kernel command line or enable via 'echo Y
> /sys/module/kernel/parameters/crash_kexec_post_notifiers'. This option
invokes the recording of errors into pstore *before* an attempt to kexec/kdump
on a kernel crash.

Optionally, to record reboots and shutdowns in the pstore, one can either pass
the printk.always_kmsg_dump[4] to the kernel command line or enable via 'echo Y 
>
/sys/module/printk/parameters/always_kmsg_dump'. This option enables code on the
shutdown path to record information via pstore.

This pstore service is a oneshot service. When run, the service invokes
systemd-pstore which is a tool that performs the following:
 - reads the pstore.conf configuration file
 - lists the files in the pstore (eg. /sys/fs/pstore)
 - for each file, locates a handler for the type of file (eg. dmesg, MCE, etc)
 - invokes the handler for the file (eg. the handler appends file to a list)
 - when the list of files is exhausted, all handlers are notified; in the case
   of the dmesg handler, final processing of the files occurs:
   - files sorted in reverse lexigraphical order to faciliate reconstruction
 of original dmesg
   - the filename is examined to determine which dmesg it is a part
   - the file is either moved to archive storage or recorded in the journal
   - the file is appended to the reconstructed dmesg

For example, the following pstore contents:

 root@vm356:~# ls -al /sys/fs/pstore
 total 0
 drwxr-x--- 2 root root0 May  9 09:50 .
 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root0 May  9 09:50 ..

[systemd-devel] [PATCH 4/6] pstore: The new configuration file for systemd-pstore tool

2019-05-16 Thread Eric DeVolder
The pstore.conf configuration file has four settings, described below.
 - Storage : one of "none", "archive", or "journal". With "none", this
   tool leaves the contents of pstore untouched. With "archive", the
   contents of the pstore are moved into the ArchiveDir. With "journal",
   the contents of the pstore are recorded in the systemd journal. The
   default is "archive".
 - SourceDir : contains a path to the pstore. The default is
   "/sys/fs/pstore".
 - ArchiveDir : contains a path to archive pstore contents. The default
   is "/var/lib/systemd/pstore".
 - AllowUnlink : is one of "yes" or "no". When "yes", the default, then
   files in the pstore are removed once processed. When "no", processing
   of the pstore occurs normally, but the pstore files remain.

+Description
+
+This file configures the behavior of
+
systemd-pstore8,
+a handler for archiving the contents of the persistent storage filesystem, 
pstore.
+
+  
+
+  
+
+  
+Options
+
+All options are configured in the
+[Pstore] section:
+
+
+
+  
+Storage=
+
+Controls where to archive files in the pstore 
filesystem. One of none,
+archive, and journal. When
+none, the files in pstore are untouched. When 
archive (the
+default), files are archived in 
/var/lib/systemd/pstore/.
+When journal, pstore file contents are recorded in 
the journal.
+
+
+  
+
+  
+SourceDir=
+
+Specifies the path to the persistent storage 
filesystem.
+The default location is /sys/fs/pstore.
+
+  
+
+  
+ArchiveDir=
+
+Specifies the path where pstore files are to be 
archived, when
+Storage is archive.
+
+  
+
+  
+AllowUnlink=
+
+Controls whether or not pstore files are removed. One 
of
+yes or no. When 
yes,
+a pstore file is removed from the pstore once it has been archived 
(either to
+disk or into the journal). When no, processing of 
pstore files
+occurs normally, but the files remain in the pstore.
+The default is yes in order to maintain the pstore 
in a
+nearly empty state, so that it has storage available for the next 
kernel error event.
+
+  
+
+
+The defaults for all values are listed as comments in the
+template /etc/systemd/pstore.conf file that
+is installed by default.

No. As explained in the documentation: sometimes you want to generate
dynamic unit files that override the regular unit files (think:
overriding the boot target the system shall boot into). Sometimes you
want that regular unit files override the dynamic ones (think: you
automaticlly convert sysv scripts to native unit files, but if a
regular unit file already exists for a service you want that to take
precedence, since native should be better than converted).

All generators are run at the same time btw, there's no ordering
between them.

Nope, please read the documentation. it's very clearly explained
there. It's about precendence relative to installed regular unit files.

Sorry, but it doesn't appear like you did...

Turn on debug logging, and it is. i.e. add systemd.log_level=debug to
the kernel command line.

Yes. That's the command to invoke whenever you remove or drop in unit
files into the directories in /usr/lib/systemd/system or
/etc/systemd/system or similar.

They run in an early boot environment outside of any service
management, snce they generate service definitions. That makes them
kinda special. See the long list of dos/donts in the documentation.

I am sorry, but this gets on my nerves. Yes, our documentation is not
perfect (which documentation is?) but you appear unable to read even
the most basic parts of it, since most of what you are asking is
actually documented in the various linked docs.

Please, when you are new to systemd, start with the simple things
first, and as you grokked them continue with the more complex
stuff. You are jumping to the advanced stuff from zero apparently,
without understanding the basic concepts the advanced stuff builds
on. Of course things are going to be frustrating if you do that, but
maybe the fix to that is starting to reading up on the basics first!

You receieved an awful lot of free help here even though when you came
onto the mailing list you started out with telling evreyone how awful
systemd is. You are using up all my patience slowly but surely, and if
you continue like that you'll notice the responses you get will be
fewer and fewer.

> correct manual page.

For units installed via packages in /usr/lib/systemd/system or by the
user in /etc/systemd/system these links are created by "systemctl
enable". You can also create them maualy if you like, that's fine.

That maps 1:1: how tools such as update-rc.d or chkconfig did things
on the various distros back in sysvinit times.

If you write a generator then its the generator that creates the
symlinks. But again, generators are an advanced topic, and you
shouldn't use them unless you really really know what you are doing.

when you start using systemd and take the most complexest things as your
start before you even understand everything else around it and then
expect that you just have to write enough emails saving you all the
years from expierience others something goes wrong

generators AFAIK where implemented years after we used systemd in
production or at least the transition of /etc/fstab to a generated unit
was done at that time in point

So what is the preferred method when some package install adds new  unit
files? systemctl daemon-reload?
on sane distributions solved years ago like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850355 and in the meatime a
ton of rpm scriptlets are replaced with file-triggers at least on Fedora

Is calling the generators logged (and maybe finishing the last generator,

Isn't it sufficient when a generated unit contains "Wants=" or similar? If I
have to mess with links, why does "Wants=" exist at all? Maybe its all
historical, I don't know.

define two timer units and one service:

1. six-o-clock.timer with contents like this:

[Timer]
OnCalendar=6:00
Unit=myapp.service

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

2. every-hour.timer with contents like this:

[Timer]
OnUnitActive=1h
Unit=myapp.service

[Install]
Also=six-o-clock.timer

3. myapp.service with contents like this:

[Unit]
Wants=every-hour.timer
After=every-hour.timer

[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/my/script.sh

[Install]
Also=six-o-clock.timer

4. Inside your script script.sh you should then do your downloads. If
   anything fails you just let the script abort, knowing that
   every-hour.timer will start it again after one hour. On success
   however, you invoke "systemctl stop every-hour.timer" to shut down
   this timer again, leaving only "six-o-clock.timer" running.

By using two separate timer units you can schedule the service based
on two separate expressions that you can turn off and on individually
just by starting or stopping the timer.

six-o-clock.timer is the timer started during boot (since after
enablement is pulled in by timers.target which is the generic target
timers should be plugged into if they shall be started at boot). Then,
every-hour.timer is pulled in together with myapp.service the instant
it is requested to ensure that from that point on the every hour thing
applies, until its turned off again because the timer is stopped by
your script.

This syntax is not understood by systemd:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/reboot.html#

If you want to schedule some command to be invoked at some future time, use:

systemd-run --on-active=10s echo "Hello World"

Yes.

This is explained in the documentation btw:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.generator.html

Long story short: it's about unit file precedence.

It's up to the generator to decide whether it wants to override native
unit files already in place, or whether it wants those to override
whatever it generates.

Please read up on the documentation.

Generators follow the reload cycle, and the reload cycle is how the
reload cycle is.

Doing "systemctl daemon-reload" in clean codepaths is possible but not
good style. It's slow and problematic since Linux doesn't really have
a transactional fs, and thus you never know in which precise state the
fs is when systemd reloads things in case multiple programs make
modifications to the unit files at the same time.

I am not sure how to parse that.

As I mentioned before: you appear to think that generators are
something they are clearly not.

daemon-reload just reloads configuation, it does not create or remove
any symlinks.

It's your generator's job to hook the units it might generate into
the right places. systemctl can't guess that. I mean, if a service
shall be started during regular boot, or if it shall be hooked into
getty.target or when bluetooth hw is plugged in is nothing systemd can
guess for you.
