2019-07-02libbb: reduce the overhead of single parameter bb_error_msg() callsJames Byrne
Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d43707 ("'simple' error message functions by Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message(). This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(), bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the corresponding 'simple' version. Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal circumstances. This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c, libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c, networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter logging variants exist. The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4): Arm: -92 bytes MIPS: -52 bytes PPC: -1836 bytes x86_64: -938 bytes Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h) because it made these files larger on MIPS.

2018-08-26sysklogd: add timestamp option to ignore message timestampsPeter Korsgaard
Some syslog producers provide inconsistent timestamps, so provide an option to ignore the message timestamps and always locally timestamp. In order to implement this, invert the valid-timestamp check, but only use the timestamp if this option is not enabled. This is in line with what what other syslogd implementations do: From sysklogd syslogd.c: * Sun Nov 7 12:28:47 CET 2004: Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org> * Discard any timestamp information found in received syslog * messages. This will affect local messages sent from a * different timezone. rsyslog's imuxsock module similary has an (enabled by default) IgnoreTimestamp option: https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imuxsock.html function old new delta packed_usage 32877 32912 +35 timestamp_and_log 363 376 +13 syslogd_main 1638 1641 +3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 3/0 up/down: 51/0) Total: 51 bytes Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2016-02-01Fix compiling with musl's utmp stubsKylie McClain
This patch fixes compiling busybox with FEATURE_UTMP and _WTMP enabled. musl, while not really support utmp/wtmp, provides stub functions, as well as variables such as _PATH_UTMP, so that programs using utmp or wtmp can still compile fine. My reasoning for this patch is that on Exherbo, I'm currently trying to get us to be able to use the same busybox config file for both glibc and musl systems, using utmp/wtmp on systems that support it, and using the stubs on musl without needing two different configs. As of latest musl git, it provides all utmp functions needed; 1.1.12 doesn't, but I sent a patch to Rich to add the utmp{,x}name functions expected to exist, which was merged into musl upstream.

2013-01-06syslogd: add option to log to Linux kernel printk bufferPeter Korsgaard
Why invent our own shared memory circular buffer when the kernel has a perfectly fine one already? This can be used as a smaller/simpler alternative to the syslogd IPC support (as IPC shmem/klogd/logread aren't needed), while also allowing centralised logging of everything (kernel messages, userspace bootup and syslog) when used together with ttyprintk. Notice that kernel 3.5+ is needed to store syslog facility in printk buffer, otherwise only the priority is stored. bloat-o-meter compared to IPC+klogd+logread: function old new delta get_linux_version_code - 84 +84 lbb_prepare 25 90 +65 applet_nameofs 6 - -6 static.stdout@@GLIBC_2 8 - -8 applet_names 23 9 -14 bb_msg_standard_output 16 - -16 init_sem 18 - -18 xatoull_range 19 - -19 overlapping_strcpy 21 - -21 init_data 56 32 -24 applet_main 24 - -24 main 124 99 -25 full_write2_str 26 - -26 error_exit 26 - -26 bb_basename 30 - -30 sem_up 32 - -32 interrupted 35 - -35 fflush_stdout_and_exit 38 - -38 bb_banner 46 - -46 find_applet_by_name 59 - -59 bb_signals_recursive_norestart 90 - -90 run_applet_no_and_exit 104 - -104 timestamp_and_log 651 523 -128 syslogd_main 798 581 -217 xstrtoull_range_sfx 267 - -267 run_applet_and_exit 432 - -432 klogd_main 490 - -490 logread_main 508 - -508 .rodata 1870 937 -933 bb_common_bufsiz1 8193 - -8193 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 2/26 grow/shrink: 1/6 up/down: 149/-11829) Total: -11680 bytes Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

Since Linux 3.5 (7ff9554bb5: printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer), klog buffer can now contain log lines with multi-char loglevel indicators (<[0-9]+>) - So use strtoul to parse it. function old new delta klogd_main 490 525 +35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 35/0) Total: 35 bytes Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2012-12-19CONFIG_PID_FILE_PATH: new configuration option for pidfile pathsAnthony G. Basile
We set a default path for the directory where pidfiles are create when FEATURE_PIDFILE is selected. The default has no effect on applets which must specify a pidfile path on the command line to run, and it can be overridden by applets which optionally allow the user to specify the pidfile path. We also add pidfile write/remove support for klogd, ntpd and watchdog. For syslogd, we add a missing remove_pidfile() for better cleanup on daemon exit. Signed-off-by: Anthony G.

2011-10-28syslogd: work around rename() not renaming hardlinks to themselvesChristian Engelmayer
Function log_locally() within the syslogd can potentially lock up when restarting the daemon after a power loss in case the unplanned shutdown hit the rename operation during logfile rotation. While POSIX requires the rename operation to be atomic, many file systems such as JFFS2 implement the rename operation in 2 steps by linking the new name followed by unlinking the original name. In case of a power loss during the rename the system can end up with /var/log/messages and /var/log/messages.0 being 2 hard links to the same file. When the syslog daemon restarts in such a situation it will rediscover the need to rotate the log files, however, POSIX also requires that rename does nothing and reports success in case oldpath and newpath are existing hard links to the same file. Looping through reopen: by (O_CREAT | O_APPEND), the daemon eternally reopens the same file without succeeding to rotate.
