Importing the full environment is convenient, but it doesn't work too well in
practice, because we get a metric ton of shell-specific crap that should never
end up in the global environment block:

Plenty of shell-specific and terminal-specific stuff that have no global
significance.
Let's start warning when this is used to push people towards importing only
specific variables.
Putative NEWS entry:
* systemctl import-environment will now emit a warning when called without
any arguments (i.e. to import the full environment block of the called
program). This command will usually be invoked from a shell, which means
that it'll inherit a bunch of variables which are specific to that shell,
and usually to the tty the shell is connected to, and don't have any
meaning in the global context of the system or user service manager.
Instead, only specific variables should be imported into the manager
environment block.
Similarly, programs which update the manager environment block by directly
calling the D-Bus API of the manager, should also push specific variables,
and not the full inherited environment.
commit 15d7ab87c4 introduced the
change to add an 'alias' state, but it was wired to systemctl
only when running in 'client-side' mode. Return success as
expected and documented also when running in 'server-mode'.
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/18134
This is unfortunately harder to implement than it sounds. The user's bus
is bound a to the user's lifecycle after all (i.e. only exists as long
as the user has at least one PAM session), and the path dynamically (at
least theoretically, in practice it's going to be the same always)
generated via $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in /run/.
To fix this properly, we'll thus go through PAM before connecting to a
user bus. Which is hard since we cannot just link against libpam in the
container, since the container might have been compiled entirely
differently. So our way out is to use systemd-run from outside, which
invokes a transient unit that does PAM from outside, doing so via D-Bus.
Inside the transient unit we then invoke systemd-stdio-bridge which
forwards D-Bus from the user bus to us. The systemd-stdio-bridge makes
up the PAM session and thus we can sure tht the bus exists at least as
long as the bus connection is kept.
Or so say this differently: if you use "systemctl -M lennart@foobar"
now, the bus connection works like this:
1. sd-bus on the host forks off:
systemd-run -M foobar -PGq --wait -pUser=lennart -pPAMName=login systemd-stdio-bridge
2. systemd-run gets a connection to the "foobar" container's
system bus, and invokes the "systemd-stdio-bridge" binary as
transient service inside a PAM session for the user "lennart"
3. The systemd-stdio-bridge then proxies our D-Bus traffic to
the user bus.
sd-bus (on host) → systemd-run (on host) → systemd-stdio-bridge (in container)
Complicated? Well, to some point yes, but otoh it's actually nice in
various other ways, primarily as it makes the -H and -M codepaths more
alike. In the -H case (i.e. connect to remote host via SSH) a very
similar three steps are used. The only difference is that instead of
"systemd-run" the "ssh" binary is used to invoke the stdio bridge in a
PAM session of some other system. Thus we get similar implementation and
isolation for similar operations.
Fixes: #14580
A comment indicates the start of the new contents of the override file,
and another indicates that lines following it will be discarded once
editing is finished.
The contents of the unit file and drop-ins are listed out after this
last marker.
Adds WRITE_STRING_FILE_TRUNCATE to set O_TRUNC when opening a file.
Thanks to cgzones for providing the required SELinux function calls.

We would return ENOENT, which is extremely confusing. Strace is not helpful because
no *file* is actually missing. So let's add some logs at debug level and also use
a custom return code. Let all user-facing utilities print a custom error message
in that case.
When doing import-environment, we shouldn't fail if some assignment is invalid.
OTOH, if the invalid assignment is specified as a positional argument, we should
keep failing.
This would also fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1754395, by
ignoring certain variables which are not important in that scenario. It seems
like the right thing to do in general.
This is just some refactoring: shifting around of code, not change in
codeflow.
This splits up the way too huge systemctl.c in multiple more easily
digestable files. It roughly follows the rule that each family of verbs
gets its own .c/.h file pair, and so do all the compat executable names
we support. Plus three extra files for sysv compat (which existed before
already, but I renamed slightly, to get the systemctl- prefix lik
everything else), a -util file with generic stuff everything uses, and a
-logind file with everything that talks directly to logind instead of
PID1.
systemctl is still a bit too complex for my taste, but I think this way
itc omes in a more digestable bits at least.
No change of behaviour, just reshuffling of some code.
It's an auxiliary function to the UnitInfo structures, and very generic.
Let's hence move it over to the other code operating with UnitInfo, even
if it's not used by code outside of systemctl (yet).
With new directive SystemCallLog= it's possible to list system calls to be
logged. This can be used for auditing or temporarily when constructing system
call filters.

v5: drop intermediary, update HASHMAP_FOREACH_KEY() use
v4: skip useless debug messages, actually parse directive
v3: don't declare unused variables with old libseccomp
v2: fix build without seccomp or old libseccomp
Symbolic names and number in the appropriate range are allowed
(log_level_from_string() DTRT already).
The target names are more messy, so we leave the verification to the service.
Heavily inspired by #15622. This adds:
systemctl service-log-level systemd-resolved
systemctl service-log-level systemd-resolved info
systemctl service-log-target systemd-resolved
systemctl service-log-target systemd-resolved console
We already have systemctl verbs log-level, log-target, and service-watchdogs.
Those two new verbs tie nicely into this scheme.
The list was rather ad hoc, with "reset-failed" sandwiched between
"help" and "list-dependencies". Since a person will usually either want
to introspect state in various ways or modify state in a certain way, let's
put all the introspection commands together and all the ones that actually
have an effect second.
In various cases, we would say 'return log_warning()' or 'return log_error()'. Those
functions return 0 if no error is passed in. For log_warning or log_error this doesn't
make sense, and we generally want to propagate the error. In the few cases where
the error should be ignored, I think it's better to split it in two, and call 'return 0'
on a separate line.
Follow the same model established for RootImage and RootImageOptions,
and allow to either append a single list of options or tuples of
partition_number:options.
Timestamps for unit start/stop are recorded with microsecond granularity,
but status and show truncate to second granularity by default.
Add a --timestamp=pretty|us|utc option to allow including the microseconds
or to use the UTC TZ to all timestamps printed by systemctl.
Follows the same pattern and features as RootImage, but allows an
arbitrary mount point under / to be specified by the user, and
multiple values - like BindPaths.

Reworked to use dissect's logic instead of bare libmount() calls
and other review comments.
Thanks Topi for the initial work to come up with and implement
this useful feature.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Presently, CLI utilities such as systemctl will check whether they have a tty
attached or not to decide whether to parse /proc/cmdline or EFI variable
SystemdOptions looking for systemd.log_* entries.
But this check will be misleading if these tools are being launched by a
daemon, such as a monitoring daemon or automation service that runs in
background.
Make log handling of CLI tools uniform by never checking /proc/cmdline or EFI
variables to determine the logging level.
Furthermore, introduce a new log_setup_cli() shortcut to set up common options
used by most command-line utilities.
Depending on if the system has been scheduled for shutdown or for reboot pring the corresponding message (and not only "Shutdown"). Prtinting the "wrong" message when rebooting will mislead and panic people. I get these messages via cron from remote servers and it would be bad if those systems actually *did* shut down, as the email from cron is telling me. Those messages cause an adrenalin spike in our team, which wouldn't happen, if the message was "correct"
Fixes#16129.
