Previously, we'd already have explicit logging for the case where
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set. Let's also add some explicit logging for
the EPERM/ACCESS case. Let's also in both cases suggest the
--machine=<user>@.host syntax.
And while we are at it, let's remove side-effects from the macro.
By checking for both the EPERM/EACCES case and the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR case
we will now catch both the cases where people use "su" to issue a
"systemctl --user" operation, and those where they (more correctly, but
still not good enough) call "su -".
Fixes: #17901
So far, the bridge always acted as if "--system" was used, i.e. would
unconditionally connect to the system bus. Let's add "--user" too, to
connect to the users session bus.
This is mostly for completeness' sake.
I wanted to use this when making sd-bus's ability to connect to other
user's D-Bus busses work, but it didn't exist so far. In the interest of
keeping things compatible the implementation in sd-bus will not use the
new "--user" switch, and instead manually construct the right bus path
via "--path=", but we still should add the proper switches, as
preparation for a brighter future, one day.
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
So far when asked for augmented bus credentials and the process was
already gone we'd fail fatally. Let's make this graceful instead, and
never allow augmenting fail due to PID having vanished — unless the
augmenting is the explicit and only purpose of the requested operation.
This should be safe as clients have to explicitly query the acquired
creds anyway and handle if they couldn't be acquired. Moreover we
already handle permission problems gracefully, thus clients must be
ready to deal with missing creds.
This is useful to make selinux authorization work for short-lived client
proceses. PReviously we'd augment creds to have more info to log about
(the selinux decision would not be based on augmented data however,
because that'd be unsafe), and would fail if we couldn't get it. Now,
we'll try to acquire the data, but if we cannot acquire it, we'll still
do the selinux check, except that logging will be more limited.
Let's clean up hostname_is_valid() a bit: let's turn the second boolean
argument into a more explanatory flags field, and add a flag that
accepts the special name ".host" as valid. This is useful for the
container logic, where the special hostname ".host" refers to the "root
container", i.e. the host system itself, and can be specified at various
places.
let's also get rid of machine_name_is_valid(). It was just an alias,
which is confusing and even more so now that we have the flags param.
The immediately following container_get_leader() call validate the name
anyway, no need to twice exactly the same way twice immediately after
each other.
Use symlink_atomic_label() instead of symlink_atomic() as the symlink
may need a different label than the parent directory.

When something fails, we need some logs to figure out what happened.
This is primarily relevant for connection errors, but in general we
want to log about all errors, even if they are relatively unlikely.
We want one log on failure, and generally no logs on success.
The general idea is to not log in static functions, and to log in the
non-static functions. Non-static functions which call other functions
may thus log or not log as appropriate to have just one log entry in the
end.
The commit 6f3ac0d517 drops the prefix and
suffix in TAGS= property. But there exists several rules that have like
`TAGS=="*:tag:*"`. So, the property must be always prefixed and suffixed
with ":".
Fixes#17930.
The ret_size result is a bit of an awkward optimization that in a
sense enables bypassing the mmap-cache API, while encouraging
duplication of logic it already implements.
It's only utilized in one place; journal_file_move_to_object(),
apparently to avoid the overhead of remapping the whole object
again once its header, and thus its actual size, is known.
With mmap-cache's context cache, the overhead of simply
re-getting the object with the now known size should already be
negligible. So it's not clear what benefit this brings, unless
avoiding some function calls that do very little in the hot
context-cache hit case is of such a priority.
There's value in having all object-sized gets pass through
mmap_cache_get(), as it provides a single entrypoint for
instrumentation in profiling/statistics gathering. When
journal_file_move_to_object() bypasses getting the full object
size, you don't capture the full picture on the mmap-cache side
in terms of object sizes explicitly loaded from a journal file.
I'd like to see additional accounting in mmap_cache_get() in a
future commit, taking advantage of this change.
