- Extra memory because ASAN needs it
- The environment variables to make the sanitizers more useful
- LD_PRELOAD because the ASAN DSO needs to be the first in the list
- The sanitizer library packages
- Disable syscall filters because they interfere with ASAN
- Disable systemd-hwdb-update because it's super slow when systemd-hwdb
is built with sanitizers
- Take the value for meson's b_sanitize option from the SANITIZERS
environment variable
With meson-0.60, meson compile stopped working with some targets:
$ meson compile -C build update-man-rules
ERROR: Can't invoke target `update-man-rules`: ambiguous name. Add target type and/or path: `PATH/NAME:TYPE`
This is obviously a regression in meson, but based on a chat with the
maintainers, it seems that there's some disagreement as to whether 'meson
compile' is useful and how exactly it should work. Since we're already at
meson 0.60.3 and this hasn't been fixed, and people generally don't seem to
consider this an issue, let's return to documenting the usual practice of
'ninja -C build' that just works everywhere.
(Since nobody has raised any fuss in systemd, it means that people are
generally using the shorter form during development too. I only noticed
because I pasted a command from the release docs when preparing -rc1.)
mkosi automatically builds for the host distro which seems a much
better default to encourage since dnf won't be installed on any host
system that's not Fedora anyway.
I have no idea if this is going to cause rendering problems, and it is fairly
hard to check. So let's just merge this, and if it github markdown processor
doesn't like it, revert.
With this change, "mkosi build" will automatically build systemd for the
current distro without any further configuration. If people want to do a
cross-distro build by default, they can still create mkosi.default, but I
assume that this is relatively rare.
If people have symlinked mkosi.default to one of the files in .mkosi/, they'll
need to adjust the symlink.
(Building without configuration would always fail, since systemd has many many
required dependencies. I think it's nicer to do the most commonly expected
thing by default, i.e. rebuild for the current distro.)
Mkosi is nowadays packaged for most distros, so recommend installing of distro
packages as the primary installation mechanism.
