Systems where a mount point is expected to be read-write needs a way to
fail mount units that fallback as read-only.
Add a property to allow setting the -w option when calling mount(8).
Previously we tried to be smart: when a new unit appeared and it only
added controllers to the cgroup mask we'd update the cached members mask
in all parents by ORing in the controller flags in their cached values.
Unfortunately this was quite broken, as we missed some conditions when
this cache had to be reset (for example, when a unit got unloaded),
moreover the optimization doesn't work when a controller is removed
anyway (as in that case there's no other way for the parent to iterate
though all children if any other, remaining child unit still needs it).
Hence, let's simplify the logic substantially: instead of updating the
cache on the right events (which we didn't get right), let's simply
invalidate the cache, and generate it lazily when we encounter it later.
This should actually result in better behaviour as we don't have to
calculate the new members mask for a whole subtree whever we have the
suspicion something changed, but can delay it to the point where we
actually need the members mask.
This allows us to simplify things quite a bit, which is good, since
validating this cache for correctness is hard enough.
Fixes: #9512
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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 majorly refactors the transient unit file and drop-in writing
logic, so that we properly C-escape and specifier-escape (% → %%)
everything we write out, so that when we read it back again, specifiers
are parsed that aren't supposed to be parsed.
This renames unit_write_drop_in() and friends by unit_write_setting().
The name change is supposed to clarify that the functions are not only
used to write drop-in files, but also transient unit files.
The previous "mode" parameter to this function is replaced by a more
generic "flags", which knows additional flags for implicit C-style and
specifier escaping before writing things out. This can cover most
properties where either form of escaping is defined. For the cases where
this isn't sufficient, we add helpers unit_escape_setting() and
unit_concat_strv() for escaping individual strings or strvs properly.
While we are at it, we also prettify generation of transient unit files:
we try to reduce the number of section headers written out: previously
we'd write the right section header our for each setting. With this
change we do so only if the setting lives in a different section than
the one before.
(This should also be considered preparation for when we add proper APIs
to systemd to write normal, persistant unit files through the bus API)
There should be a way to turn this logic of, and DefaultDependencies=
appears to be the right option for that, hence let's downgrade this
dependency type from "implicit" to "default, and thus honour
DefaultDependencies=.
This also drops mount_get_fstype() as we only have a single user needing
this now.
A follow-up for #7076.
In the past we introduced this property just for tmp.mount. However on
todays systems usually there are many more tmpfs mounts. Most notably
mounts backing XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for each user.
Let's generalize what we already have for tmp.mount and implement the
ordering After=swap.target for all tmpfs based mounts.
This adds the boolean RemoveIPC= setting to service, socket, mount and swap
units (i.e. all unit types that may invoke processes). if turned on, and the
unit's user/group is not root, all IPC objects of the user/group are removed
when the service is shut down. The life-cycle of the IPC objects is hence bound
to the unit life-cycle.
This is particularly relevant for units with dynamic users, as it is essential
that no objects owned by the dynamic users survive the service exiting. In
fact, this patch adds code to imply RemoveIPC= if DynamicUser= is set.
In order to communicate the UID/GID of an executed process back to PID 1 this
adds a new "user lookup" socket pair, that is inherited into the forked
processes, and closed before the exec(). This is needed since we cannot do NSS
from PID 1 due to deadlock risks, However need to know the used UID/GID in
order to clean up IPC owned by it if the unit shuts down.
This fixes transient mount units in general. With this change,
'from_fragment' is for transient mount units. As a result, the normal logic
for 'fragment' mount units vs. 'mountinfo' mount units works for transient
mount units as well.
Apparently, util-linux' mount command implicitly drops the smack-related
options anyway before passing them to the kernel, if the kernel doesn't
know SMACK, hence there's no point in duplicating this in systemd.
Fixes#1696
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
This option specifies the label to assign the root of the file system if
it lacks the Smack extended attribute. Note that this option will be
ignored if kernel does not support the Smack feature by runtime
checking.
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.
Previously a cgroup setting down tree would result in cgroup membership
additions being propagated up the tree and to the siblings, however a
unit could never lose cgroup memberships again. With this change we'll
make sure that both cgroup additions and removals propagate properly.
Message handler callbacks can be simplified drastically if the
dispatcher automatically replies to method calls if errors are returned.
Thus: add an sd_bus_error argument to all message handlers. When we
dispatch a message handler and it returns negative or a set sd_bus_error
we send this as message error back to the client. This means errors
returned by handlers by default are given back to clients instead of
rippling all the way up to the event loop, which is desirable to make
things robust.
As a side-effect we can now easily turn the SELinux checks into normal
function calls, since the method call dispatcher will generate the right
error replies automatically now.
Also, make sure we always pass the error structure to all property and
method handlers as last argument to follow the usual style of passing
variables for return values as last argument.
This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
Slice/ControlGroup only really makes sense for unit types which actually
have cgroups attached to them, hence move them out of the generic Unit
interface and into the specific unit type interfaces.
These fields will continue to be part of Unit though, simply because
things are a log easier that way. However, regardless how this looks
internally we should keep things clean and independent of the specific
implementation of the inside.
Replace the very generic cgroup hookup with a much simpler one. With
this change only the high-level cgroup settings remain, the ability to
set arbitrary cgroup attributes is removed, so is support for adding
units to arbitrary cgroup controllers or setting arbitrary paths for
them (especially paths that are different for the various controllers).
This also introduces a new -.slice root slice, that is the parent of
system.slice and friends. This enables easy admin configuration of
root-level cgrouo properties.
This replaces DeviceDeny= by DevicePolicy=, and implicitly adds in
/dev/null, /dev/zero and friends if DeviceAllow= is used (unless this is
turned off by DevicePolicy=).
a) Instead of parsing the bus messages inside of selinux-access.c
simply pass everything pre-parsed in the functions
b) implement the access checking with a macro that resolves to nothing
on non-selinux builds
c) split out the selinux checks into their own sources
selinux-util.[ch]
d) this unifies the job creation code behind the D-Bus calls
Manager.StartUnit() and Unit.Start().
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
