Subject: [PATCH] journalctl: don't trust the per-field entry tables when
1abbee
 looking for boot IDs
1abbee
1abbee
When appending to a journal file, journald will:
1abbee
1abbee
a) first, append the actual entry to the end of the journal file
1abbee
b) second, add an offset reference to it to the global entry array stored at
1abbee
   the beginning of the file
1abbee
c) third, add offset references to it to the per-field entry array stored at
1abbee
   various places of the file
1abbee
1abbee
The global entry array, maintained by b) is used when iterating through the
1abbee
journal without matches applied.
1abbee
1abbee
The per-field entry array maintained by c) is used when iterating through the
1abbee
journal with a match for that specific field applied.
1abbee
1abbee
In the wild, there are journal files where a) and b) were completed, but c)
1abbee
was not before the files were abandoned. This means, that in some cases log
1abbee
entries are at the end of these files that appear in the global entry array,
1abbee
but not in the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. Now, the
1abbee
"journalctl --list-boots" command alternatingly uses the global entry array
1abbee
and the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. It seeks to the last
1abbee
entry of a specific _BOOT_ID=field by having the right match installed, and
1abbee
then jumps to the next following entry with no match installed anymore, under
1abbee
the assumption this would bring it to the next boot ID. However, if the
1abbee
per-field entry wasn't written fully, it might actually turn out that the
1abbee
global entry array might know one more entry with the same _BOOT_ID, thus
1abbee
resulting in a indefinite loop around the same _BOOT_ID.
1abbee
1abbee
This patch fixes that, by updating the boot search logic to always continue
1abbee
reading entries until the boot ID actually changed from the previous. Thus, the
1abbee
per-field entry array is used as quick jump index (i.e. as an optimization),
1abbee
but not trusted otherwise.  Only the global entry array is trusted.
1abbee
1abbee
This replaces PR #1904, which is actually very similar to this one. However,
1abbee
this one actually reads the boot ID directly from the entry header, and doesn't
1abbee
try to read it at all until the read pointer is actually really located on the
1abbee
first item to read.
