#5285 closed enhancement (fixed)
Replace eudev with udev extracted from systemd — at Version 31

Description (last modified by )
This ticket is to convert eudev to systemd-udev. See blfs:#18292 for details - but eudev is using libudev 243. libgudev now needs at least 247 because of using some newer API to properly handle tags.
The goal is to do similar to what was suggested back in #4914. I'll test this system with some libgudev consumers as well to make sure that this doesn't result in any problems.
Work on this will be done in the renodr/libudev-from-systemd branch

I just looked at what we are installing now with eudev.
Two files in /sbin: udevadm and udevd One library: libudev.so.1.6.3 Two headers: libudev.h and udev.h
There are some files in /usr/lib/udev/ that are interesting. There are 11 binary files there like ata_id.
All the other files are .hwdb, rules, manpages, scripts, and other data type files.

Retitle because udev is not only a library.

I made a try in a VM but the boot process hangs starting udevd.

Alright, it's because I've installed udevadm into /usr/bin but LFS bootscript expects it in /sbin.

Note:
- udevadm is installed as /usr/bin/udevadm, not /usr/sbin/udevadm. So we need to edit the LFS bootscripts to call /bin/udevadm instead of /sbin/udevadm. I don't think we should really put udevadm into /usr/sbin because actually it can be used as a normal user (at least
udevadm settledoes not need any privilege). - Tested on a complete LFS system ("overwriting" eudev, and the system has MarkupSafe and Jinja2 installed), but not tested with a build from scratch yet.

I did a manual DESTDIR install into /build/systemd/install/. I needed to
mkdir /build/systemd/install/usr/sbin and
mkdir -p /build/systemd/install/usr/share/pkgconfig
I want to validate the installed files against the current files installed by eudev. I'll report back what I find.

Hmm, why a trailing / is necessary here?
Currently $ ll /usr/sbin/udev* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 364512 Jul 11 11:37 /usr/sbin/udevadm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 348160 Jul 11 11:37 /usr/sbin/udevd are different files, but above instructions have /usr/sbin/udevd -> ../bin/udevadm
In a systemd installation it's a symlink:
$ readlink /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd ../../bin/udevadm
libudev.so and libudev.so.1 are not symlinks
Ah it's wrong. I guess we need to use cp -av instead of install -vm755 here.
/usr/lib/udev/collect is missing
I can't find this file in the systemd build. What it is for?
There are no files in /etc/udev/hwdb.d. They appear to be in /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/
/etc/udev/{hwdb.d,rules.d} are designed to be "system administrator only". So in a fresh installation they should be empty. But lfs-udev installs 3 rules into /etc/udev/hwdb.d and I'm not sure if we should change it to /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d instead.
60-autosuspend-chromiumos.hwdb is new
/usr/include is missing.
As Joe pointed out, I've forgotten to install the header(s) :(.

If /usr/bin/ is missing in a DESDIR install, the file is named 'bin'.

I'm good with using /etc for the LFS specific files.

In systemd it's dropped in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/9920/, the maintainer considered it "nonsense". The removal happens almost 5 years ago, if something depended on it the systemd revision would already blow up. So I think we can just leave it...

Hmm, the eudev udev.h is completely unusable. It contains things like
#include "libudev-private.h"
But libudev-private.h is not installed anywhere. So it's already broken and dropping it should be fine.

The list is generated by jhalfs and it seems not complete. The instruction installs many man pages into /usr/share/man/man3 (for documenting functions provided by libudev) but jhalfs does not list them.

So it should work.
comment:20 by , 16 months ago
Did more testing and so far the only issue I've noticed is that nothing is getting logged. This is probably because by default all systemd services log to the journal so udev is trying doing the same. There are options to override the logging but that is with using the StandardOutput=/StandardError= options in the service unit file. It doesn't help here because the udev daemon isn't started by systemd.
comment:21 by , 16 months ago
I'm not sure this is working. On my workstation with eudev I can plug in a USB drive and it shows up as /dev/sdc. On my development system with the new udev from systemd, I see no changes to /dev/when plugging in the same drive.

On my development system -- nothing.

Correction. On my development system it was a HW problem. Probably a loose cable on my USB hub. Now the new udev recognizes when the drive is plugged in and removed.
Also, I don't understand Joe's comment about logging. At least as far as a USB drive goes, the messages are from the kernel and they show up fine. What udev specific message(s) should I be looking for?

Bruce, can you look for /lib/udev/rules.d/70-power-switch.rules? I read from Gentoo that it may interfere with elogind, so we might want to remove it and let elogind install its version.

The udev version has:
ACTION=="remove", GOTO="power_switch_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_SWITCH}=="1", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEY}=="1", TAG+="power-switch"
LABEL="power_switch_end"
I'm not familiar with the TAG reference and I don't know where the ID_INPUT* variables would be set.
After elogind I have:
ACTION=="remove", GOTO="power_switch_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_SWITCH}=="1", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEY}=="1", TAG+="power-switch"
#if 1 /// elogind supports eudev and needs some extra rules.
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEMS=="acpi", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", KERNELS=="thinkpad_acpi", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="twl4030_pwrbutton", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="tps65217_pwr_but", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="* WMI hotkeys", TAG+="power-switch"
#endif // 1
LABEL="power_switch_end"
Personally I rarely use the power switch to turn off the computer. I do it with the poweroff command or via a menu item. It may be more useful on a laptop though.

During the boot:
* Setting hostname to lfs-udev ... [OK]
Populating /dev with device nodes... Starting systemd-udevd version 253
* ... [OK]
I suppose the "Starting systemd-udevd" line should be sent to system journal, not stderr. But I've not figured out how yet.

I didn't notice that before. I suppose we need:
sed -i "/Starting/s|||" src/udev/udevd.c

This will make the logging work. Ideally we should use the "syslog" target here, but when udevd starts sysklogd is not started yet so we have to use "kmsg".

Viewing the log, there are two udev rules referring to systemd helper programs and they should be removed.
