Let's simplify things and drop the logic that /var/lib/machines is setup
as auto-growing btrfs loopback file /var/lib/machines.raw.
THis was done in order to make quota available for machine management,
but quite frankly never really worked properly, as we couldn't grow the
file system in sync with its use properly. Moreover philosophically it's
problematic overriding the admin's choice of file system like this.
Let's hence drop this, and simplify things. Deleting code is a good
feeling.
Now that regular file systems provide project quota we could probably
add per-machine quota support based on that, hence the btrfs quota
argument is not that interesting anymore (though btrfs quota is a bit
more powerful as it allows recursive quota, i.e. that the machine pool
gets an overall quota in addition to per-machine quota).
The concept is redundant and predates the special chars that do the same
in ExecStar=. Let's settle on advertising just the latter, and hide
PermissionsStartOnly= from the docs (even if we continue supporting it).
We would accept e.g. FailureAction=reboot-force in user units and then do an
exit in the user manager. Let's be stricter, and define "exit"/"exit-force" as
the only supported actions in user units.
v2:
- rename 'exit' to 'exit-force' and add new 'exit'
- add test for the parsing function
/etc/systemd/sleep.conf gains four new switches:
AllowSuspend=, AllowHibernation=, AllowSuspendThenHibernate=, AllowHybridSleep=.
Disabling specific modes was already possible by masking suspend.target,
hibernate.target, suspend-then-hibernate.target, or hybrid-sleep.target.
But this is not convenient for distributions, which want to set some defaults
based on what they want to support. Having those available as configuration
makes it easy to put a config file in /usr/lib/systemd/sleep.conf.d/ that
overrides the defaults and gives instructions how to undo that override.
canonicalize_file_name() invocations were replaced by chase_symlinks() in
Decemeber 2016 with PR #4694, so we don't need this mention in the TODO anymore
When a user logs in, systemd-pam will wait for the user manager instance to
report readiness. We don't need to wait for all the jobs to finish, it
is enough if the basic startup is done and the user manager is responsive.
systemd --user will now send out a READY=1 notification when either of two
conditions becomes true:
- basic.target/start job is gone,
- the initial transaction is done.
Also fixes#2863.
In this mode, we'll directly connect stdin/stdout/stderr of the invoked
service with whatever systemd-run itself is invoked on. This allows
inclusion of "systemd-run" commands in shell pipelines, as unlike
"--pty" this means EOF of stdin/stdout/stderr are propagated
independently.
If --pty and --pipe are combined systemd-run will automatically pick the
right choice for the context it is invoked in, i.e. --pty when invoked
on a TTY, and --pipe otherwise.
Some kdbus_flag and memfd related parts are left behind, because they
are entangled with the "legacy" dbus support.
test-bus-benchmark is switched to "manual". It was already broken before
(in the non-kdbus mode) but apparently nobody noticed. Hopefully it can
be fixed later.

Resolves#3861
core: add new RestrictNamespaces= unit file setting
Merging, not rebasing, because this touches many files and there were tree-wide cleanups in the mean time.
This new setting permits restricting whether namespaces may be created and
managed by processes started by a unit. It installs a seccomp filter blocking
certain invocations of unshare(), clone() and setns().
RestrictNamespaces=no is the default, and does not restrict namespaces in any
way. RestrictNamespaces=yes takes away the ability to create or manage any kind
of namspace. "RestrictNamespaces=mnt ipc" restricts the creation of namespaces
so that only mount and IPC namespaces may be created/managed, but no other
kind of namespaces.
This setting should be improve security quite a bit as in particular user
namespacing was a major source of CVEs in the kernel in the past, and is
accessible to unprivileged processes. With this setting the entire attack
surface may be removed for system services that do not make use of namespaces.
coredump had code to check if copy_bytes() hit the max_bytes limit,
and refuse further processing in that case.
But in 84ee096044, the return convention for copy_bytes() was changed
from -EFBIG to 1 for the case when the limit is hit, so the condition
check in coredump couldn't ever trigger.
But it seems that *do* want to process such truncated cores [1].
So change the code to detect truncation properly, but instead of
returning an error, give a nice log entry.

Should fix (or at least alleviate) #3883.
We were already unconditionally using the unicode character when the
input string was not pure ASCII, leading to different behaviour in
depending on the input string.

This splits the OS field in two : one for the distribution name
and one for the the version id.
Dashes are written for missing fields.
This also prints ip addresses of known machines. The `--max-addresses`
option specifies how much ip addresses we want to see. The default is 1.
When more than one address is written for a machine, a `,` follows it.
If there are more ips than `--max-addresses`, `...` follows the last
address.
We check /etc/machine-id of the container and if it is already populated
we use value from there, possibly ignoring value of --uuid option from
the command line. When dealing with R/O image we setup transient machine
id.
Once we determined machine id of the container, we use this value for
registration with systemd-machined and we also export it via
container_uuid environment variable.
As registration with systemd-machined is done by the main nspawn process
we communicate container machine id established by setup_machine_id from
outer child to the main process by unix domain socket. Similarly to PID
of inner child.
For btrfs, c_f_r() is like BTRFS_IOC_CLONE which we already used, but also
works when max_bytes is set. We do call copy_bytes in coredump code with
max_bytes set, and for large files, so we might see some benefit from using
c_f_r() on btrfs.
For other filesystems, c_f_r() falls back to do_splice_direct(), the same as
sendfile, which we already call, so there shouldn't be much difference.
Tested with test-copy and systemd-coredump on Linux 4.3 (w/o c_f_r)
and 4.5 (w/ c_f_r).
This commit rips out systemd-bootchart. It will be given a new home, outside
of the systemd repository. The code itself isn't actually specific to
systemd and can be used without systemd even, so let's put it somewhere
else.
The setting is hardly useful (since its effect is generally reduced to zero due
to file system caps), and with the advent of ambient caps an actually useful
replacement exists, hence let's get rid of this.
I am pretty sure this was unused and our man page already recommended against
its use, hence this should be a safe thing to remove.
As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.
This gets rid of the private DNSSEC TODO and moves it in the main TODO dump site, as the DNSSEC implementation is
pretty complete now, and the remaining bits are low-priority.
This should most likely be implemented as part of journal-netlogd
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/1890), which it seems
is not going to be merged.
systemctl edit was mentioned twice.
The current code is not compatible with current dkr protocols anyway,
and dkr has a different focus ("microservices") than nspawn anyway
("whole machine containers"), hence drop support for it, we cannot
reasonably keep this up to date, and it creates the impression we'd
actually care for the microservices usecase.
This directive allows passing environment variables from the system
manager to spawned services. Variables in the system manager can be set
inside a container by passing `--set-env=...` options to systemd-spawn.
Tested with an on-disk test.service unit. Tested using multiple variable
names on a single line, with an empty setting to clear the current list
of variables, with non-existing variables.
Tested using `systemd-run -p PassEnvironment=VARNAME` to confirm it
works with transient units.
Confirmed that `systemctl show` will display the PassEnvironment
settings.
Checked that man pages are generated correctly.
No regressions in `make check`.
Put it at the top of the file, where it's hard to miss.
Also add the mapping of runlevel → target because since it is now
static.
I'm not adding runlevel(7), because we do not want to make obsolete
stuff even more prominent.
strv_split_extract is to strv_split_quotes as extract_first_word was to
unquote_first_word.
Now there's extract_first_word for extracting a single argument,
extract_many_words for extracting a bounded number of arguments,
and strv_split_extract for extracting an arbitrary number of arguments.
We used to have one global socket, use one per transaction instead. This
has the side-effect of giving us a random UDP port per transaction, and
hence increasing the entropy and making cache poisoining significantly
harder to achieve.
We still reuse the same port number for packets belonging to the same
transaction (resent packets).
This improves the resilience against cache poisoning by being stricter
about only accepting responses that match precisely the requst they
are in reply to.
It should be noted that we still only use one port (which is picked
at random), rather than one port for each transaction. Port
randomization would improve things further, but is not required by
the RFC.
