The original logic was logging an "ignored" debug message, but it was still
going ahead and calling proc_cmdline_parse_given() on the NULL line. Fix that
to skip that explicitly when the EFI variable wasn't really read.
And do not use it in the IMPORT{cmdline} udev code. Wherever we expose
direct interfaces to check the kernel cmdline, let's not consult our
systemd-specific EFI variable, but strictly use the actual kernel
variable, because that's what we claim we do. i.e. it's fine to use the
EFI variable for our own settings, but for the generic APIs to the
kernel cmdline we should not use it.
Specifically, this applies to IMPORT{cmdline} and
ConditionKernelCommandLine=. In the latter case we weren#t checking the
EFI variable anyway, hence let's do the same for the udev case, too.
Fixes: #15739
In SecureBoot mode this is probably not what you want. As your cmdline
is cryptographically signed like when using Type #2 EFI Unified Kernel
Images (https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/) The user's
intention is then that the cmdline should not be modified. You want to
make sure that the system starts up as exactly specified in the signed
artifact.
This makes the naming more consistent: we now have
bootctl systemd-efi-options,
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS
and the SystemdOptions EFI variable.
(SystemdEFIOptions would be redundant, because it is only used in the context
of efivars, and users don't interact with that name directly.)
bootctl is adjusted to use 2sp indentation, similarly to systemctl and other
programs.
Remove the prefix with the old name from 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' output,
since it's redundant and we don't want the old name anyway.
In various circumstances, overriding the kernel commandline can be inconvenient.
People have different bootloaders, and e.g. the grub config can be pretty scary.
grubby helps, but it isn't always available.
This option adds an alternative mechanism that can quite convenient on EFI
systems. cmdline settings have higher priority, because they can be (usually)
changed on the bootloader prompt.
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS can be used to override, same as $SYSTEMD_PROC_CMDLINE.
It if of course related to /proc/cmdline parsing, but is higher-level
functionality built on top of it. It should be in shared/ because it
is something to be used by pid1 and related utilities, not something for
level-level libraries.
Whenever I see EXTRACT_QUOTES, I'm always confused whether it means to
leave the quotes in or to take them out. Let's say "unquote", like we
say "cunescape".
The functions to retrieve and print process cmdlines were based on the
assumption that they contain printable ASCII, and everything else
should be filtered out. That assumption doesn't hold in today's world,
where people are free to use unicode everywhere.
This replaces the custom cmdline reading code with a more generic approach
using utf8_escape_non_printable_full().
For kernel threads, truncation is done on the parenthesized name, so we'll
get "[worker]", "[worker…]", …, "[w…]", "[…", "…" as we reduce the number of
available columns.
This implementation is most likely slower for very long cmdlines, but I don't
think this is very important. The common case is to have short commandlines,
and should print those properly. Absurdly long cmdlines are the exception,
which needs to be handled correctly and safely, but speed is not too important.
Fixes#12532.
v2:
- use size_t for the number of columns. This change propagates into various
other functions that call get_process_cmdline(), increasing the size of the
patch, but the changes are rather trivial.
This introduces a wrapper around extrac_first_word() called
proc_cmdline_extract_first(), which suppresses "rd." parameters
depending on the specified calls.
This allows us to share more code between proc_cmdline_parse_given() and
proc_cmdline_get_key(), and makes it easier to reuse this logic for
other purposes.
This was mostly prompted by seeing the expression "in_initrd() && flags
& PROC_CMDLINE_RD_STRICT", which uses & and && without any brackets.
Let's make that a bit more readable and hide all doubts about operator
precedence.
Our current set of flags allows an option to be either
use just in initrd or both in initrd and normal system.
This new flag is intended to be used in the case where
you want apply some settings just in initrd or just
in normal system.
Comes with tests.
Also add direct test for $SYSTEMD_PROC_CMDLINE.
In test-proc-cmdline, "true" was masquerading as PROC_CMDLINE_STRIP_RD_PREFIX,
fix that. Also, reorder functions to match call order.
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.
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.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
This improves kernel command line parsing in a number of ways:
a) An kernel option "foo_bar=xyz" is now considered equivalent to
"foo-bar-xyz", i.e. when comparing kernel command line option names "-" and
"_" are now considered equivalent (this only applies to the option names
though, not the option values!). Most of our kernel options used "-" as word
separator in kernel command line options so far, but some used "_". With
this change, which was a source of confusion for users (well, at least of
one user: myself, I just couldn't remember that it's systemd.debug-shell,
not systemd.debug_shell). Considering both as equivalent is inspired how
modern kernel module loading normalizes all kernel module names to use
underscores now too.
b) All options previously using a dash for separating words in kernel command
line options now use an underscore instead, in all documentation and in
code. Since a) has been implemented this should not create any compatibility
problems, but normalizes our documentation and our code.
c) All kernel command line options which take booleans (or are boolean-like)
have been reworked so that "foobar" (without argument) is now equivalent to
"foobar=1" (but not "foobar=0"), thus normalizing the handling of our
boolean arguments. Specifically this means systemd.debug-shell and
systemd_debug_shell=1 are now entirely equivalent.
d) All kernel command line options which take an argument, and where no
argument is specified will now result in a log message. e.g. passing just
"systemd.unit" will no result in a complain that it needs an argument. This
is implemented in the proc_cmdline_missing_value() function.
e) There's now a call proc_cmdline_get_bool() similar to proc_cmdline_get_key()
that parses booleans (following the logic explained in c).
f) The proc_cmdline_parse() call's boolean argument has been replaced by a new
flags argument that takes a common set of bits with proc_cmdline_get_key().
g) All kernel command line APIs now begin with the same "proc_cmdline_" prefix.
h) There are now tests for much of this. Yay!
This stripping is contolled by a new boolean parameter. When the parameter
is true, it means that the caller does not care about the distinction between
initrd and real root, and wants to act on both rd-dot-prefixed and unprefixed
parameters in the initramfs, and only on the unprefixed parameters in real
root. If the parameter is false, behaviour is the same as before.
Changes by caller:
log.c (systemd.log_*): changed to accept rd-dot-prefix params
pid1: no change, custom logic
cryptsetup-generator: no change, still accepts rd-dot-prefix params
debug-generator: no change, does not accept rd-dot-prefix params
fsck: changed to accept rd-dot-prefix params
fstab-generator: no change, custom logic
gpt-auto-generator: no change, custom logic
hibernate-resume-generator: no change, does not accept rd-dot-prefix params
journald: changed to accept rd-dot-prefix params
modules-load: no change, still accepts rd-dot-prefix params
quote-check: no change, does not accept rd-dot-prefix params
udevd: no change, still accepts rd-dot-prefix params
I added support for "rd." params in the three cases where I think it's
useful: logging, fsck options, journald forwarding options.
