Let's drop the caching of the setgroups /proc field for now. While there's a
strict regime in place when it changes states, let's better not cache it since
we cannot really be sure we follow that regime correctly.
More importantly however, this is not in performance sensitive code, and
there's no indication the cache is really beneficial, hence let's drop the
caching and make things a bit simpler.
Also, while we are at it, rework the error handling a bit, and always return
negative errno-style error codes, following our usual coding style. This has
the benefit that we can sensible hanld read_one_line_file() errors, without
having to updat errno explicitly.
This patch adds support for ambient capabilities in service files. The
idea with ambient capabilities is that the execed processes can run with
non-root user and get some inherited capabilities, without having any
need to add the capabilities to the executable file.
You need at least Linux 4.3 to use ambient capabilities. SecureBit
keep-caps is automatically added when you use ambient capabilities and
wish to change the user.
An example system service file might look like this:
[Unit]
Description=Service for testing caps
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 10000
User=nobody
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_RAW
After starting the service it has these capabilities:
CapInh: 0000000000003000
CapPrm: 0000000000003000
CapEff: 0000000000003000
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
CapAmb: 0000000000003000
Change the capability bounding set parser and logic so that the bounding
set is kept as a positive set internally. This means that the set
reflects those capabilities that we want to keep instead of drop.
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
