* log: Don't report syslog failures to stderr after initialisationStefano Brivio2024-06-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | If we daemonised, we can't use standard error. If we didn't, it's rather annoying to have all those messages on standard error anyway, and kind of pointless too, as the messages we wanted to print were printed to standard error anyway.

* treewide: Replace strerror() callsStefano Brivio2024-06-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have logging functions embedding perror() functionality, we can make _some_ calls more terse by using them. In many places, the strerror() calls are still more convenient because, for example, they are used in flow debugging functions, or because the return code variable of interest is not 'errno'. While at it, convert a few error messages from a scant perror style to proper failure descriptions.

* treewide: Replace perror() calls with calls to logging functionsStefano Brivio2024-06-211-8/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | perror() prints directly to standard error, but in many cases standard error might be already closed, or we might want to skip logging, based on configuration. Our logging functions provide all that. While at it, make errors more descriptive, replacing some of the existing basic perror-style messages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | In many places, we have direct perror() calls, which completely bypass logging functions and log files. They are definitely convenient: offer similar convenience with _perror() logging variants, so that we can drop those direct perror() calls.

* log, passt: Always print to stderr before initialisation is completeStefano Brivio2024-06-211-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit 15001b39ef1d ("conf: set the log level much earlier"), we had a phase during initialisation when messages wouldn't be printed to standard error anymore. Commit f67238aa864d ("passt, log: Call __openlog() earlier, log to stderr until we detach") fixed that, but only for the case where no log files are given. If a log file is configured, vlogmsg() will not call passt_vsyslog(), but during initialisation, LOG_PERROR is set, so to avoid duplicated prints (which would result from passt_vsyslog() printing to stderr), we don't call fprintf() from vlogmsg() either. This is getting a bit too complicated. Instead of abusing LOG_PERROR, define an internal logging flag that clearly represents that we're not done with the initialisation phase yet. If this flag is not set, make sure we always print to stderr, if the log mask matches.

* conf, log: Instead of abusing log levels, add log_conf_parsed flagStefano Brivio2024-06-211-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently use a LOG_EMERG log mask to represent the fact that we don't know yet what the mask resulting from configuration should be, before the command line is parsed. However, we have the necessity of representing another phase as well, that is, configuration is parsed but we didn't daemonise yet, or we're not ready for operation yet. The next patch will add that notion explicitly. Mapping these cases to further log levels isn't really practical. Introduce boolean log flags to represent them, instead of abusing log priorities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I switched from 'uname -m' to 'gcc -dumpmachine' to fetch the architecture name for, among others, seccomp.sh, I didn't realise that "armv6l" and "armv7l" are just Linux kernel names -- compilers just call that "arm". Fix the "syscalls" annotation we use to define seccomp profiles accordingly, otherwise pasta will be terminated on sigreturn() on armv6l and armv7l.

* passt, log: Call __openlog() earlier, log to stderr until we detachStefano Brivio2024-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Paul reports that, with commit 15001b39ef1d ("conf: set the log level much earlier"), early messages aren't reported to standard error anymore. The reason is that, once the log mask is changed from LOG_EARLY, we don't force logging to stderr, and this mechanism was abused to have early errors on stderr. Now that we drop LOG_EARLY earlier on, this doesn't work anymore. Call __openlog() as soon as we know the mode we're running as, using LOG_PERROR. Then, once we detach, if we're not running from an interactive terminal and logging to standard error is not forced, drop LOG_PERROR from the options. While at it, check if the standard error descriptor refers to a terminal, instead of checking standard output: if the user redirects standard output to /dev/null, they might still want to see messages from standard error. Further, make sure we don't print messages to standard error reporting that we couldn't log to the system logger, if we didn't open a connection yet. That's expected.

* log: setlogmask(0) can actually result in a system call, don't use itStefano Brivio2024-02-141-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before commit 32d07f5e59f2 ("passt, pasta: Completely avoid dynamic memory allocation"), we didn't store the current log mask in a variable, and we fetched it using setlogmask(0) wherever needed. But after that commit, we can use our log_mask copy instead. And we should: with recent glibc versions, setlogmask(0) actually results in a system call, which causes a substantial overhead with high transfer rates: we use setlogmask(0) even to decide we don't want to print debug messages. Now that we rely on log_mask in early stages, before setlogmask() is called, we need to initialise that variable to the special LOG_EMERG mask value right away: define LOG_EARLY to make this clearer, and, while at it, group conditions in vlogmsg() into something more terse.

* log: Don't define logging function 4 timesDavid Gibson2023-11-071-35/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In log.c we use a macro to define logging functions for each of 4 priority levels. The only difference between these is the priority we pass to vsyslog() and similar functions. Because it's done as a macro, however, the entire functions code is included in the binary 4 times. Rearrange this to take the priority level as a parameter to a regular function, then just use macros to define trivial wrappers which pass the priority level.

* log: Avoid time_t/__syscall_slong_t format mismatch with long int on X32 ABIStefano Brivio2023-03-171-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On X32 (ILP32 using AMD64 system call ABI) and glibc, struct timespec::tv_nsec is __syscall_slong_t and not a long int, see also https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 and timespec(3type). Fine, we could cast that down to long and be done with it. But it turns out that also time_t (not guaranteed to be equivalent to any type) is a long long int, and there we can't downcast. To keep it simple, cast both to long long int, and change formats to %lli, to avoid format warnings from gcc.

* log: Send identifier string in log messages, openlog() won't work for usStefano Brivio2023-02-271-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | openlog() can be used to set "ident" and have all the log messages prefixed by it, but only if we call syslog() -- this is implemented by C libraries. We don't log messages with syslog(), though, as we have a custom implementation to ensure we don't need dynamic memory allocation. This means that it's perfectly useless to call openlog(), and that we have to prefix every message we log by the identifier on our own.

* log: Don't duplicate messages on stderr before daemonisingStefano Brivio2023-02-161-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that logging functions force printing messages to stderr before passt forks to background, we'll have duplicate messages when running from an interactive terminal, or if --stderr is passed, because at some point we set LOG_PERROR in our __openlog() wrapper. We could defer setting LOG_PERROR, but that would change option semantics in other, unexpected ways. We could force calling passt_vsyslog() as long as the mask is set to LOG_EMERG, but that complicates the logic in logging functions even further. Go the easy way for now: don't force printing to stderr with LOG_EMERG if LOG_PERROR is already set. We should seriously consider a rework of those logging functions at this point.

* log to stderr until process is daemonized, even if a log file is setLaine Stump2023-02-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once a log file (specified on the commandline) is opened, the logging functions will stop sending error logs to stderr, which is annoying if passt has been started by another process that wants to collect error messages from stderr so it can report why passt failed to start. It would be much nicer if passt continued sending all log messages to stderr until it daemonizes itself (at which point the process that started passt can assume that it was started successfully). The system log mask is set to LOG_EMERG when the process starts, and we're already using that to do "special" logging during the period from process start until the log level requested on the commandline is processed (setting the log mask to something else). This period *almost* matches with "the time before the process is daemonized"; if we just delay setting the log mask a tiny bit, then it will match exactly, and we can use it to determine if we need to send log messages to stderr even when a log file has been specified and opened. This patch delays the setting of the log mask until immediately before the call to __daemon(). It also modifies logfn() slightly, so that it will log to stderr any time log mask is LOG_EMERG, even if a log file has been opened.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some environments, such as KubeVirt pods, we might not have a system logger available. We could choose to run in foreground, but this takes away the convenient synchronisation mechanism derived from forking to background when interfaces are ready. Add optional logging to file with -l/--log-file and --log-size. Unfortunately, this means we need to duplicate features that are more appropriately implemented by a system logger, such as rotation. Keep that reasonably simple, by using fallocate() with range collapsing where supported (Linux kernel >= 3.15, extent-based ext4 and XFS) and falling back to an unsophisticated block-by-block moving of entries toward the beginning of the file once we reach the (mandatory) size limit.
