If you notice a bug or a missing -feature, please feel invited to fix it, and submit your work as a github Pull -Request (PR): - - https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/new - -Please make sure to follow our Coding Style when submitting patches. See -docs/CODING_STYLE for details. Also have a look at our Contribution Guidelines: - - https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md - -When adding new functionality, tests should be added. For shared functionality -(in src/basic and src/shared) unit tests should be sufficient. The general -policy is to keep tests in matching files underneath src/test, -e.g. src/test/test-path-util.c contains tests for any functions in -src/basic/path-util.c. If adding a new source file, consider adding a matching -test executable. For features at a higher level, tests in src/test/ are very -strongly recommended. If that is no possible, integration tests in test/ are -encouraged. - -Please also have a look at our list of code quality tools we have setup for systemd, -to ensure our codebase stays in good shape: - - https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/docs/CODE_QUALITY.md - -Please always test your work before submitting a PR. For many of the components -of systemd testing is straight-forward as you can simply compile systemd and -run the relevant tool from the build directory. - -For some components (most importantly, systemd/PID1 itself) this is not -possible, however. In order to simplify testing for cases like this we provide -a set of "mkosi" build files directly in the source tree. "mkosi" is a tool for -building clean OS images from an upstream distribution in combination with a -fresh build of the project in the local working directory. To make use of this, -please acquire "mkosi" from https://github.com/systemd/mkosi first, unless your -distribution has packaged it already and you can get it from there. After the -tool is installed it is sufficient to type "mkosi" in the systemd project -directory to generate a disk image "image.raw" you can boot either in -systemd-nspawn or in an UEFI-capable VM: - - # systemd-nspawn -bi image.raw - -or: - - # qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 2 -bios /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd -hda image.raw - -Every time you rerun the "mkosi" command a fresh image is built, incorporating -all current changes you made to the project tree. - -Alternatively, you may install the systemd version from your git check-out -directly on top of your host system's directory tree. This mostly works fine, -but of course you should know what you are doing as you might make your system -unbootable in case of a bug in your changes. Also, you might step into your -package manager's territory with this. Be careful! - -And never forget: most distributions provide very simple and convenient ways to -install all development packages necessary to build systemd. For example, on -Fedora the following command line should be sufficient to install all of -systemd's build dependencies: - - # dnf builddep systemd - -Putting this all together, here's a series of commands for preparing a patch -for systemd (this example is for Fedora): - - $ sudo dnf builddep systemd # install build dependencies - $ sudo dnf install mkosi # install tool to quickly build images - $ git clone https://github.com/systemd/systemd.git - $ cd systemd - $ vim src/core/main.c # or wherever you'd like to make your changes - $ meson build # configure the build - $ ninja -C build # build it locally, see if everything compiles fine - $ ninja -C build test # run some simple regression tests - $ (umask 077; echo 123 > mkosi.rootpw) # set root password used by mkosi - $ sudo mkosi # build a test image - $ sudo systemd-nspawn -bi image.raw # boot up the test image - $ git add -p # interactively put together your patch - $ git commit # commit it - $ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/heads/BRANCH - # where REMOTE is your "fork" on github - # and BRANCH is a branch name. - -And after that, head over to your repo on github and click "Compare & pull request" - -Happy hacking! - - -FUZZERS - -systemd includes fuzzers in src/fuzz that use libFuzzer and are automatically -run by OSS-Fuzz (https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz) with sanitizers. To add a -fuzz target, create a new src/fuzz/fuzz-foo.c file with a LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput -function and add it to the list in src/fuzz/meson.build. - -Whenever possible, a seed corpus and a dictionary should also be added with new -fuzz targets. The dictionary should be named src/fuzz/fuzz-foo.dict and the seed -corpus should be built and exported as $OUT/fuzz-foo_seed_corpus.zip in -tools/oss-fuzz.sh. - -The fuzzers can be built locally if you have libFuzzer installed by running -tools/oss-fuzz.sh. You should also confirm that the fuzzer runs in the -OSS-Fuzz environment by checking out the OSS-Fuzz repo, and then running -commands like this: - - python infra/helper.py build_image systemd - python infra/helper.py build_fuzzers --sanitizer memory systemd ../systemd - python infra/helper.py run_fuzzer systemd fuzz-foo - -If you find a bug that impacts the security of systemd, please follow the -guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md on how to report a security vulnerability. - -For more details on building fuzzers and integrating with OSS-Fuzz, visit: - - https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/master/docs/new_project_guide.md - - https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html - - https://github.com/google/fuzzer-test-suite/blob/master/tutorial/libFuzzerTutorial.md - - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/testing/libfuzzer/+/HEAD/efficient_fuzzer.md |
