Prompted by the discussions in #15180.
This is a bit more complex than I hoped, since for PID 1 we need to pass
in the synethetic environment block in we generate on demand.
It's easy to add, and should be pretty useful, in particular as in
AssertPathIsEncrypted= as it can be used for checking that
some path is encrypted before some service is invoked that might want to
place secure material there.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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 adds a simple condition/assert/match to the service manager, to
udev's .link handling and to networkd, for matching the kernel version
string.
In this version we only do fnmatch() based globbing, but we might want
to extend that to version comparisons later on, if we like, by slightly
extending the syntax with ">=", "<=", ">", "<" and "==" expressions.
Up until now, the behaviour in systemd has (mostly) been to silently
ignore failures to action unit directives that refer to an unavailble
controller. The addition of AssertControlGroupController and its
conditional counterpart allow explicit specification of the desired
behaviour when such a situation occurs.
As for how this can happen, it is possible that a particular controller
is not available in the cgroup hierarchy. One possible reason for this
is that, in the running kernel, the controller simply doesn't exist --
for example, the CPU controller in cgroup v2 has only recently been
merged and was out of tree until then. Another possibility is that the
controller exists, but has been forcibly disabled by `cgroup_disable=`
on the kernel command line.
In future this will also support whatever comes out of issue #7624,
`DefaultXAccounting=never`, or similar.
This adds two options that are useful for user units. In particular, it
is useful to check ConditionUser=!0 to not start for the root user.
Closes: #5187
