Let's add a common implementation for regular file checks, that are
careful to return the right error code (EISDIR/EISLNK/EBADFD) when we
are encountering a wrong file node.
config_parse_join_controllers would free the destination argument on failure,
which is contrary to our normal style, where failed parsing has no effect.
Moving it to shared also allows a test to be added.
This usually is very annoying to users who then cannot log in, so
make sure we always warn if that happens (selinux, or whatever other reason).
This reverts a790812cb3.
Let's forget all relevant terminal features we learnt when we make a
console or /dev/null stdin/stdout/stderr.
Also, while we are at it, let's drop the various _unlikely_ and
_likely_ annotiations around the terminal feature caches. In many cases
we call the relevant functions only once in which cases the annotations
are likely to do just harm and no good. After all we can't know if the
specific code will call us just once or many times...
This modernizes acquire_terminal() in a couple of ways:
1. The three boolean arguments are replaced by a flags parameter, that
should be more descriptive in what it does.
2. We now properly handle inotify queue overruns
3. We use _cleanup_ for closing the fds now, to shorten the code quite a
bit.
Behaviour should not be altered by this.
This reworks is_kernel_thread() a bit. Instead of checking whether
/proc/$pid/cmdline is entirely empty we now parse the 'flags' field from
/proc/$pid/stat and check the PF_KTHREAD flag, which directly encodes
whether something is a kernel thread.
Why all this? With current kernels userspace processes can set their
command line to empty too (through PR_SET_MM_ARG_START and friends), and
could potentially confuse us. Hence, let's use a more reliable way to
detect kernels like this.
This new helper not only removes a file from a directory but also
ensures its space on disk is deallocated, by either punching a hole over
the full file or truncating the file afterwards if the file's link
counter is 0. This is useful in "vacuuming" algorithms to ensure that
client's can't keep the disk space the vacuuming is supposed to recover
pinned simply by keeping an fd open to it.
This is similar to string_hash_ops but operates one file system paths
specifically. It will ensure that "/foo//bar" and "///foo/bar" are
considered to be the same path for hashmap purposes.
This makes use of the existing path_compare() API, and adds a matching
hashing function for it.
Note that relative and absolute paths will hash to different values,
however whether the path is suffixed with a slash or not is not
detected. This matches the existing path_compare() behaviour, and
follows the logic that on Linux there can't be two different objects at
path /foo/bar and /foo/bar/ either.
This adds some paranoia code that moves some of the fds we allocate for
longer periods of times to fds > 2 if they are allocated below this
boundary. This is a paranoid safety thing, in order to avoid that
external code might end up erroneously use our fds under the assumption
they were valid stdin/stdout/stderr. Think: some app closes
stdin/stdout/stderr and then invokes 'fprintf(stderr, …' which causes
writes on our fds.
This both adds the helper to do the moving as well as ports over a
number of users to this new logic. Since we don't want to litter all our
code with invocations of this I tried to strictly focus on fds we keep
open for long periods of times only and only in code that is frequently
loaded into foreign programs (under the assumptions that in our own
codebase we are smart enough to always keep stdin/stdout/stderr
allocated to avoid this pitfall). Specifically this means all code used
by NSS and our sd-xyz API:
1. our logging APIs
2. sd-event
3. sd-bus
4. sd-resolve
5. sd-netlink
This changed was inspired by this:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8075#issuecomment-363689755
This shows that apparently IRL there are programs that do close
stdin/stdout/stderr, and we should accomodate for that.
Note that this won't fix any bugs, this just makes sure that buggy
programs are less likely to interfere with out own code.
we still invoke ssh unnecessarily when there in incompatible or erreneous input
The fallow-up to finish that would make the code a bit more verbose,
as it would require repeating this bit:
```
r = bus_connect_transport(arg_transport, arg_host, false, &bus);
if (r < 0) {
log_error_errno(r, "Failed to create bus connection: %m");
goto finish;
}
sd_bus_set_allow_interactive_authorization(bus, arg_ask_password);
```
in every verb, after parsing.
v2: add waitpid() to avoid a zombie process, switch to SIGTERM from SIGKILL
v3: refactor, wait in bus_start_address()
We have the raw_getpid() definition in place anyway, and it's certainly
beneficial to expose the same semantics on pre glibc 2.24 and after it
too, hence always bypass glibc for this, and always cache things on our
side.
Fixes: #8113
gcc says:
[196/1142] Compiling C object 'src/basic/basic@sta/hashmap.c.o'.
../src/basic/hashmap.c: In function ‘cachemem_maintain’:
../src/basic/hashmap.c:1913:17: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]

which conflates two things: the first is transitive assignent a = b = c = d;
the second is assignment of the value of an expression, which happens to be a
an assignment expression here, and boolean. While the second _should_ be
parenthesized, the first should _not_, and it's more natural to understand
our code as the first, and gcc should treat this as an exception and not emit
the warning. But since it's a while until this will be fixed, let's update
our code too.
When used in a package installation script, we want to invoke systemd-sysusers
before that package is installed (so it can contain files owned by the newly
created user), so the configuration to use is specified on the command
line. This should be a copy of the configuration that will be installed as
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/package.conf. We still want to obey any overrides in
/etc/sysusers.d or /run/sysusers.d in the usual fashion. Otherwise, we'd get a
different result when systemd-sysusers is run with a copy of the new config on
the command line and when systemd-sysusers is run at boot after package
instalation. In the second case any files in /etc or /run have higher priority,
so the same should happen when the configuration is given on the command line.
More generally, we want the behaviour in this special case to be as close to
the case where the file is finally on disk as possible, so we have to read all
configuration files, since they all might contain overrides and additional
configuration that matters. Even files that have lower priority might specify
additional groups for the user we are creating. Thus, we need to read all
configuration, but insert our new configuration somewhere with the right
priority.
If --target=/path/to/file.conf is given on the command line, we gather the list
of files, and pretend that the command-line config is read from
/path/to/file.conf (doesn't matter if the file on disk actually exists or
not). All package scripts should use this option to obtain consistent and
idempotent behaviour.
The corner case when --target= is specified and there are no positional
arguments is disallowed.
v1:
- version with --config-name=
v2:
- disallow --config-name= and no positional args
v3:
- remove --config-name=
v4:
- add --target= and rework the code completely
v5:
- fix argcounting bug and add example in man page
v6:
- rename --target to --replace
This is the first error message when running unprivileged, and the message is
unspecific, so let's at least add some logging at debug level to make this less
confusing.
The function `strv_join_quoted()` is now not used, and has a bug
in the buffer size calculation when the strings needs to escaped,
as reported in #8056.
So, let's remove the function.
Closes#8056.
