This adds a way to control SO_TIMESTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMPNS socket options
for sockets PID 1 binds to.
This is useful in journald so that we get proper timestamps even for
ingress log messages that are submitted before journald is running.
We recently turned on packet info metadata from PID 1 for these sockets,
but the timestamping info was still missing. Let's correct that.
Upon an incoming connection for an accepting socket, we'd create a unit like
foo@0.service, then figure out that the instance name should be e.g. "0-41-0",
and then add the name foo@0-41-0.service to the unit. This obviously violates
the rule that any service needs to have a constance instance part.
So let's reverse the order: we first determine the instance name and then
create the unit with the correct name from the start.
There are two cases where we don't know the instance name:
- analyze-verify: we just do a quick check that the instance unit can be
created. So let's use a bogus instance string.
- selinux: the code wants to load the service unit to extract the ExecStart path
and query it for the selinux label. Do the same as above.
Note that in both cases it is possible that the real unit that is loaded could
be different than the one with the bogus instance value, for example if there
is a dropin for a specific instance name. We can't do much about this, since we
can't figure out the instance name in advance. The old code had the same
shortcoming.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Previously we were a bit sloppy with the index and size types of arrays,
we'd regularly use unsigned. While I don't think this ever resulted in
real issues I think we should be more careful there and follow a
stricter regime: unless there's a strong reason not to use size_t for
array sizes and indexes, size_t it should be. Any allocations we do
ultimately will use size_t anyway, and converting forth and back between
unsigned and size_t will always be a source of problems.
Note that on 32bit machines "unsigned" and "size_t" are equivalent, and
on 64bit machines our arrays shouldn't grow that large anyway, and if
they do we have a problem, however that kind of overly large allocation
we have protections for usually, but for overflows we do not have that
so much, hence let's add it.
So yeah, it's a story of the current code being already "good enough",
but I think some extra type hygiene is better.
This patch tries to be comprehensive, but it probably isn't and I missed
a few cases. But I guess we can cover that later as we notice it. Among
smaller fixes, this changes:
1. strv_length()' return type becomes size_t
2. the unit file changes array size becomes size_t
3. DNS answer and query array sizes become size_t

Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
"check" is unclear: what is true, what is false? Let's rename to "can_gc" and
revert the return value ("positive" values are easier to grok).
v2:
- rename from unit_can_gc to unit_may_gc
This introduces a new function unit_prepare_exec() that encapsulates a
number of calls we do in preparation for spawning off some processes in
all our unit types that do so.
This allows us to neatly unify a bit of code between unit types and
shorten our code.
This adds a new boolean setting DynamicUser= to service files. If set, a new
user will be allocated dynamically when the unit is started, and released when
it is stopped. The user ID is allocated from the range 61184..65519. The user
will not be added to /etc/passwd (but an NSS module to be added later should
make it show up in getent passwd).
For now, care should be taken that the service writes no files to disk, since
this might result in files owned by UIDs that might get assigned dynamically to
a different service later on. Later patches will tighten sandboxing in order to
ensure that this cannot happen, except for a few selected directories.
A simple way to test this is:
systemd-run -p DynamicUser=1 /bin/sleep 99999
Let's move the enforcement of the per-unit start limit from unit.c into the
type-specific files again. For unit types that know a concept of "result" codes
this allows us to hook up the start limit condition to it with an explicit
result code. Also, this makes sure that the state checks in clal like
service_start() may be done before the start limit is checked, as the start
limit really should be checked last, right before everything has been verified
to be in order.
The generic start limit logic is left in unit.c, but the invocation of it is
moved into the per-type files, in the various xyz_start() functions, so that
they may place the check at the right location.
Note that this change drops the enforcement entirely from device, slice, target
and scope units, since these unit types generally may not fail activation, or
may only be activated a single time. This is also documented now.
Note that restores the "start-limit-hit" result code that existed before
6bf0f408e4 already in the service code. However,
it's not introduced for all units that have a result code concept.
Fixes#3166.
This adds two new settings TriggerLimitIntervalSec= and TriggerLimitBurst= that
define a rate limit for activation of socket units. When the limit is hit, the
socket is is put into a failure mode. This is an alternative fix for #2467,
since the original fix resulted in issue #2684.
In a later commit the StartLimitInterval=/StartLimitBurst= rate limiter will be
changed to be applied after any start conditions checks are made. This way,
there are two separate rate limiters enforced: one at triggering time, before
any jobs are queued with this patch, as well as the start limit that is moved
again to be run immediately before the unit is activated. Condition checks are
done in between the two, and thus no longer affect the start limit.
This moves the StartLimitBurst=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitAction=, RebootArgument= from the [Service] section
into the [Unit] section of unit files, and thus support it in all unit types, not just in services.
This way we can enforce the start limit much earlier, in particular before testing the unit conditions, so that
repeated start-up failure due to failed conditions is also considered for the start limit logic.
For compatibility the four options may also be configured in the [Service] section still, but we only document them in
their new section [Unit].
This also renamed the socket unit failure code "service-failed-permanent" into "service-start-limit-hit" to express
more clearly what it is about, after all it's only triggered through the start limit being hit.
Finally, the code in busname_trigger_notify() and socket_trigger_notify() is altered to become more alike.
Fixes: #2467
Now we don't support the socket protocol like
sctp and udplite .
This patch add a new config param
SocketProtocol: udplite/sctp
With this now we can configure the protocol as
udplite = IPPROTO_UDPLITE
sctp = IPPROTO_SCTP
Tested with nspawn:
This adds support for naming file descriptors passed using socket
activation. The names are passed in a new $LISTEN_FDNAMES= environment
variable, that matches the existign $LISTEN_FDS= one and contains a
colon-separated list of names.
This also adds support for naming fds submitted to the per-service fd
store using FDNAME= in the sd_notify() message.
This also adds a new FileDescriptorName= setting for socket unit files
to set the name for fds created by socket units.
This also adds a new call sd_listen_fds_with_names(), that is similar to
sd_listen_fds(), but also returns the names of the fds.
systemd-activate gained the new --fdname= switch to specify a name for
testing socket activation.
This is based on #1247 by Maciej Wereski.
Fixes#1247.
Writable= is a new boolean setting. If ture, then ListenSpecial= will
open the specified path in O_RDWR mode, rather than just O_RDONLY.
This is useful for implementing services like rfkill, where /dev/rfkill
is more useful when opened in write mode, if we want to not only save
but also restore its state.
Some additional files related to single socket may appear in the
filesystem and they should be opened and passed to related service.
This commit adds optional list of file descriptors, which are
dynamically discovered and opened.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
This makes possible to spawn service instances triggered by socket with
MLS/MCS SELinux labels which are created based on information provided by
connected peer.

TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT Allow a listener to be awakened only when data
arrives on the socket. If TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT set on a server-side
listening socket, the TCP/IP stack will not to wait for the final
ACK packet and not to initiate the process until the first packet
of real data has arrived. After sending the SYN/ACK, the server will
then wait for a data packet from a client. Now, only three packets
will be sent over the network, and the connection establishment delay
will be significantly reduced.
The tcp keep alive variables now can be configured via conf
parameter. Follwing variables are now supported by this patch.
tcp_keepalive_intvl: The number of seconds between TCP keep-alive probes
tcp_keepalive_probes: The maximum number of TCP keep-alive probes to
send before giving up and killing the connection if no response is
obtained from the other end.
tcp_keepalive_time: The number of seconds a connection needs to be
idle before TCP begins sending out keep-alive probes.
This reverts commit 9528592ff8.
Apparently TFO is actually the default at least for the server side now.
Also the setsockopt doesn't actually take a bool, but a qlen integer.
TCP Fast Open (TFO) speeds up the opening of successiveTCP)
connections between two endpoints.It works by using a TFO cookie
in the initial SYN packet to authenticate a previously connected
client. It starts sending data to the client before the receipt
of the final ACK packet of the three way handshake is received,
skipping a round trip and lowering the latency in the start of
transmission of data.
This patch adds support for TCP TCP_NODELAY socket option. This can be
configured via NoDelay conf parameter. TCP Nagle's algorithm works by
combining a number of small outgoing messages, and sending them all at
once. This controls the TCP_NODELAY socket option.
This tool will warn about misspelt directives, unknown sections, and
non-executable commands. It will also catch the common mistake of
using Accept=yes with a non-template unit and vice versa.

With Symlinks= we can manage one or more symlinks to AF_UNIX or FIFO
nodes in the file system, with the same lifecycle as the socket itself.
This has two benefits: first, this allows us to remove /dev/log and
/dev/initctl from /dev, thus leaving only symlinks, device nodes and
directories in the /dev tree. More importantly however, this allows us
to move /dev/log out of /dev, while still making it accessible there, so
that PrivateDevices= can provide /dev/log too.
