[systemd-devel] [RFC PATCH] journal: pass uid.gid in the stream header

When systemd starts a service, it first opens /run/systemd/journal/stdout
socket, and only later switches to the right user.group (if they are
specified). Later on, journald looks at the credentials, and sees
root.root, because credentials are stored at the time the socket is
opened. As a result, all messages passed over _TRANSPORT=stdout were
logged with _UID=0, _GID=0.

This patch modifies the stream protocol to pass the uid and gid, like
the unit name already was. journald will looks at the values passed in
the header only when the connection was opened by a privileged sender.

An alternative aproach would be to delay opening the socket until
after the user has been switched. But this would make things more
complicated, since some kinds of output (e.g. the console) can only be
opened as root, and also some users might not be allowed to open the
socket to the journal (as a result of InaccessibleDirectories, SELinux
rules, etc). Getting all the cases right here seems rather complicated
compared to the straightforward approach of passing the credentials in
the stream header.

A disadvantage of the solution implemented here, otoh, is that both
systemd and journald must be restarted for it to take effect.
---

Not sure if this is the right approach. Commentes and alternative/better
ideas welcome.
