systemd-ask-password can store passwords in kernel keyring. However it
uses to print the passwords to standard output nevertheless. Depending
on where systemd-ask-password is called passwords may end on display
or in log, leaking sensitive information.
This allows to make systemd-ask-password quiet, effectively disabling
printing passwords to standard output.
The manpage of seccomp specify that using seccomp with
SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER will return EACCES if the caller do not have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN set, or if the no_new_privileges bit is not set. Hence,
without NoNewPrivilege set, it is impossible to use a SystemCall*
directive with a User directive set in system mode.
Now, NoNewPrivileges is set if we are in user mode, or if we are in
system mode and we don't have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and SystemCall*
directives are used.
So far we recommended placing "nss-mymachines" after "nss-resolve" in the order
of preference in /etc/nsswitch.conf. This change reverse this order.
Rationale: single-label names are resolved via LLMNR by resolved, which has to
time out if no peer by that name exists. By placing "nss-mymachines" first
(which always responds immediately) we avoid running into this timeout for most
containers. Both modules should return the same data if LLMNR is used by the
container anyway.
While we are at it, improve the man pages of the three NSS modules in other
ways a bit.
This commit rips out systemd-bootchart. It will be given a new home, outside
of the systemd repository. The code itself isn't actually specific to
systemd and can be used without systemd even, so let's put it somewhere
else.
Enabling router advertisement may even trigger SLAAC or DHCPv6 to be used to configure
IPv6 addresses on the link. It may not be obvious that only in the SLAAC case will the
Token have an effect. Clarify this in the man page.
Addresses issue #863.
This way "networkctl status" becomes a bit more useful by default, as router
information is just visible, without any further configuration.
LLDP reception is fully passive and relatively low simple and low traffic,
hence this should be safe to enable by default.
This reworks the sd-lldp substantially, simplifying things on one hand, and
extending the logic a bit on the other.
Specifically:
- Besides the sd_lldp object only one other object is maintained now,
sd_lldp_neighbor. It's used both as storage for literal LLDP packets, and for
maintainging info about peers in the database. Separation between packet, TLV
and chassis data is not maintained anymore. This should be a major
simplification.
- The sd-lldp API has been extended so that a couple of per-neighbor fields may
be queried directly, without iterating through the object. Other fields that
may appear multiple times, OTOH have to be iterated through.
- The maximum number of entries in the neighbor database is now configurable
during runtime.
- The generation of callbacks from sd_lldp objects is more restricted:
callbacks are only invoked when actual data changed.
- The TTL information is now hooked with a timer event, so that removals from
the neighbor database due to TTLs now result in a callback event.
- Querying LLDP neighbor database will now return a strictly ordered array, to
guarantee stability.
- A "capabilities" mask may now be configured, that selects what type of LLDP
neighbor data is collected. This may be used to restrict collection of LLDP
info about routers instead of all neighbors. This is now exposed via
networkd's LLDP= setting.
- sd-lldp's API to serialize the collected data to text files has been removed.
Instead, there's now an API to extract the raw binary data from LLDP neighbor
objects, as well as one to convert this raw binary data back to an LLDP
neighbor object. networkd will save this raw binary data to /run now, and the
client side can simply parse the information.
- support for parsing the more exotic TLVs has been removed, since we are not
using that. Instead there are now APIs to extract the raw data from TLVs.
Given how easy it is to parse the TLVs clients should do so now directly
instead of relying on our APIs for that.
- A lot of the APIs that parse out LLDP strings have been simplified so that
they actually return strings, instead of char arrays with a length. To deal
with possibly dangerous characters the strings are escaped if needed.
- APIs to extract and format the chassis and port IDs as strings has been
added.
- lldp.h has been simplified a lot. The enums are anonymous now, since they
were never used as enums, but simply as constants. Most definitions we don't
actually use ourselves have eben removed.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698#section-2.2 says:

The output didn't specify if the default for --cname/--search/--legend and
other options was yes or no. Change the description to be explicit about that.
Also make the --help output and man page closer.
I think example output allows the reader of the man page to
see what functionlity is provided without running the commands
themselves. Specific values in the examples are bound to get out
of date but this is not a problem.
It has fairly wide functionality now and the interface has been
stable for a while. It it a useful testing tool.
The name is changed to better indicate what it does.
Previous code only allowed a single name to be passed, and duplicated
it over all descriptors. For the sake of testing, allow different
names and in arbitrary number. If just one is given, duplicate it
to match the number of sockets. This matches previuos behaviour.
Since this is a testing tool, it seems useful to allow passing invalid
names to test application behaviour with invalid names. Hence, only
warn. When warning, escape the name.
The setting is hardly useful (since its effect is generally reduced to zero due
to file system caps), and with the advent of ambient caps an actually useful
replacement exists, hence let's get rid of this.
I am pretty sure this was unused and our man page already recommended against
its use, hence this should be a safe thing to remove.
As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.
The "is-enabled" command doesn't care whether the symlinks are declared in the
[Install] section of a unit file or not, when returning "enabled". Any alias,
.wants/ or .requires/ symlinks suffice.
Fixes: #975
Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive
has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism.
However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls
and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification
for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel
v4.5:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671
As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no
longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over
to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which
obsoletes these controllers anyway.
This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller,
but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.
Previously, using --accept would enable inetd-style socket activation in addition to per-connection operation. This is
now split into two switches: --accept only switches between per-connection or single-instance operation. --inetd
switches between inetd-style or new-style fd passing.
This breaks the interface of the tool, but given that it is a debugging tool shipped in /usr/lib/systemd/ it's not
really a public interface.
This change allows testing new-style per-connection daemons.
This moves the StartLimitBurst=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitAction=, RebootArgument= from the [Service] section
into the [Unit] section of unit files, and thus support it in all unit types, not just in services.
This way we can enforce the start limit much earlier, in particular before testing the unit conditions, so that
repeated start-up failure due to failed conditions is also considered for the start limit logic.
For compatibility the four options may also be configured in the [Service] section still, but we only document them in
their new section [Unit].
This also renamed the socket unit failure code "service-failed-permanent" into "service-start-limit-hit" to express
more clearly what it is about, after all it's only triggered through the start limit being hit.
Finally, the code in busname_trigger_notify() and socket_trigger_notify() is altered to become more alike.
Fixes: #2467
This makes sure we never run two control processes at the same time, we cannot keep track off.
This introduces a slight change of behaviour but cleans up the definition of ExecStop= and ExecStopPost=. The former is
now invoked only if the service managed to start-up correctly. The latter is called even if start-up failed half-way.
Thus, ExecStopPost= may be used as clean-up step for both successful and failed start-up attempts, but ExecStop='s
purpose is clearly defined as being responsible for shutting down the service and nothing else.
The precise behaviour of this was not documented yet. This commit adds the necessary docs.
Fixes: #1254
This adds a new switch --as-pid2, which allows running commands as PID 2, while a stub init process is run as PID 1.
This is useful in order to run arbitrary commands in a container, as PID1's semantics are different from all other
processes regarding reaping of unknown children or signal handling.
This adds two new calls to get the list of all journal fields names currently in use.
This is the low-level support to implement the feature requested in #2176 in a more optimized way.
This should simplify handling of time events in clients and is in-line with the USEC_INFINITY macro we already have.
This way setting a timeout to 0 indicates "elapse immediately", and a timeout of USEC_INFINITY "elapse never".
Also introduce sd_journal_has_runtime_files() and
sd_journal_has_persistent_files() to the public API. These functions
can be used to easily find out if the open journal files are runtime
and/or persistent.
But also keep the old name as (undocumented) compatibility around.
The reload-or-try-restart was documented to be a NOP if the unit is not running, since the previous commits this is
also implemented. The old name suggests that the "try" logic only applies to restarting. Fix this, by moving the "try-"
to the front, to indicate that the whole option is a NOP if the service isn't running.
This changes the UseDomains= setting of .network files to take an optional third value "route", in addition to the
boolean values. If set, the passed domain information is used for routing rules only, but not for the search path
logic.
Previously, .network files only knew a vaguely defined "Domains=" concept, for which the documentation declared it was
the "DNS domain" for the network connection, without specifying what that means.
With this the Domains setting is reworked, so that there are now "routing" domains and "search" domains. The former are
to be used by resolved to route DNS request to specific network interfaces, the latter is to be used for searching
single-label hostnames with (in addition to being used for routing). Both settings are configured in the "Domains="
setting. Normal domain names listed in it are now considered search domains (for compatibility with existing setups),
while those prefixed with "~" are considered routing domains only. To route all lookups to a specific interface the
routing domain "." may be used, referring to the root domain. An alternative syntax for this is the "*", as was already
implemented before using the "wildcard" domain concept.
This commit adds proper parsers for this new logic, and exposes this via the sd-network API. This information is not
used by resolved yet, this will be added in a later commit.
We have 126 broken links to sd-bus.html, it's nice to fix that.
Current version is mostly a stub, with a long list of links to other
pages. I think that's fine, especially that sd-bus might evolve
quite a bit before it is made public.
Not all of linked pages are written. Still missing:
sd_bus_can_send
sd_bus_get_name_creds
sd_bus_get_owner_creds
sd_bus_message_can_send
sd_bus_message_get_creds
sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization
sd_bus_send
sd_bus_set_address
sd_bus_set_description
sd_bus_start
sd_event_set_prepare
sd-device
systemd.busname
... to determine if color output should be enabled. If the variable is not set,
fall back to using on_tty(). Also, rewrite existing code to use
colors_enabled() where appropriate.
- remove things which are clear from the context
- 0 is a valid descriptor number, hence "positive" → "non-negative"
- "positive" means greater than zero, hence "positive non-zero" → "positive"
- use oxford comma
- reword some things for clarity
This patch add support to configure port
PortRange:
VXLAN bases source UDP port based on flow to help the
receiver to be able to load balance based on outer header flow.
DestinatinPort:
Allow configuring the default destination port on a per-device basis.
sd_event_now() is a public function, so we must check all
arguments for validity. Update man page and add tests.
Sample debug message:
Assertion 'IN_SET(clock, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM)' failed at src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c:2719, function sd_event_now(). Ignoring.
Allow for overriding all other machine-ids which may be present on
the system using a kernel command line systemd.machine_id or
--machine-id= option.
This is especially useful for network booted systems where the
machine-id needs to be static, or for containers where a specific
machine-id is wanted.
Let's increase compatibility with many private domains by default, and
ship a default NTA list of wel-known private domains, where it is
unlikely they will be deployed as official TLD anytime soon.
This adds logic to detect cases like the Fritz!Box routers which serve
a private DNS domain "fritz.box" under the TLD "box" that does not
exist in the root servers. If this is detected DNSSEC validation is
turned off for this private domain, thus improving compatibility with
such private DNS zones.
This should be fairly secure as we first rely on the proof that .box
does not exist before this logic is applied. Nevertheless the logic is
only enabled for DNSSEC=allow-downgrade mode.
This logic does not work for routers that set up a full DNS zone directly
under a non-existing TLD, as in that case we cannot prove
that the domain is truly non-existing according to the root servers.
While journal received remotely can be sealed, it can only be done
on the command line using --seal, so for consistency, we will
also permit to set it in the configuration file.
The current code is not compatible with current dkr protocols anyway,
and dkr has a different focus ("microservices") than nspawn anyway
("whole machine containers"), hence drop support for it, we cannot
reasonably keep this up to date, and it creates the impression we'd
actually care for the microservices usecase.
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.
The name RandomSec is too generic: "Sec" just specifies the default
unit type, and "Random" by itself is not enough. Rename to something
that should give the user general idea what the setting does without
looking at documentation.
