-HACKING ON SYSTEMD
-
-We welcome all contributions to systemd. 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
-doc/CODING_STYLE for details. Also have a look at our Contribution Guidelines:
-
- https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/.github/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/doc/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 .github/CONTRIBUTING.md on how to report a security vulnerability.
