Let's fold get_user_creds_clean() into get_user_creds(), and introduce a
flags argument for it to select "clean" behaviour. This flags parameter
also learns to other new flags:
- USER_CREDS_SYNTHESIZE_FALLBACK: in this mode the user records for
root/nobody are only synthesized as fallback. Normally, the synthesized
records take precedence over what is in the user database. With this
flag set this is reversed, and the user database takes precedence, and
the synthesized records are only used if they are missing there. This
flag should be set in cases where doing NSS is deemed safe, and where
there's interest in knowing the correct shell, for example if the
admin changed root's shell to zsh or suchlike.
- USER_CREDS_ALLOW_MISSING: if set, and a UID/GID is specified by
numeric value, and there's no user/group record for it accept it
anyway. This allows us to fix#9767
This then also ports all users to set the most appropriate flags.
Fixes: #9767
[zj: remove one isempty() call]
Meson does not care either way, so let's use the simpler syntax. And files()
already gives a list, so nesting this in a list wouldn't be necessary even
if meson did not flatten everything.
This makes hibernation unavailable if the kernel image we are currently
running was removed. This is supposed to be superficial protection
against hibernating a system we can never return from because the kernel
has been updated and the kernel we currently run is not available
anymore.
We look at a couple of places for the kernel, which should cover all
distributions I know off. Should I have missed a path I am sure people
will quickly notice and we can add more places to check. (or maybe
convince those distros to stick their kernels at a standard place)
On a host with sufficiently large zram but with no actual swap, logind will
respond to CanHibernate() with yes. With this patch, it will correctly respond
no, unless there are other swap devices to consider.
We so far had various placed we'd parse percentages with
parse_percent(). Let's make them use parse_permille() instead, which is
downward compatible (as it also parses percent values), and increases
the granularity a bit. Given that on the wire we usually normalize
relative specifications to something like UINT32_MAX anyway changing
from base-100 to base-1000 calculations can be done easily without
breaking compat.
This commit doesn't document this change in the man pages. While
allowing more precise specifcations permille is not as commonly
understood as perent I guess, hence let's keep this out of the docs for
now.
Usecase is to allow changing the final kill from SIGKILL to SIGQUIT which
should create a core dump useful for debugging why the service didn't stop
with the SIGTERM
Unfortunately this needs libshared to link to libkmod. Before it was linked
into systemd-udevd, udevadm, and systemd each seperately. On most systems this
doesn't make much difference, because at least systemd would be installed, but
it might not be in small chroots. It is a small library, so I hope this is not
a big issue.
The kernel added support for a new cgroup memory controller knob memory.min in
bf8d5d52ffe8 ("memcg: introduce memory.min") which was merged during v4.18
merge window.
Add MemoryMin to support memory.min.
There are some modern programming languages use userspace context switches
to implement coroutine features. PowerPC (32-bit) needs syscall "swapcontext" to get
contexts or switch between contexts, which is special.
Adding this rule should fix#9485.
