Let's fold get_user_creds_clean() into get_user_creds(), and introduce a
flags argument for it to select "clean" behaviour. This flags parameter
also learns to other new flags:
- USER_CREDS_SYNTHESIZE_FALLBACK: in this mode the user records for
root/nobody are only synthesized as fallback. Normally, the synthesized
records take precedence over what is in the user database. With this
flag set this is reversed, and the user database takes precedence, and
the synthesized records are only used if they are missing there. This
flag should be set in cases where doing NSS is deemed safe, and where
there's interest in knowing the correct shell, for example if the
admin changed root's shell to zsh or suchlike.
- USER_CREDS_ALLOW_MISSING: if set, and a UID/GID is specified by
numeric value, and there's no user/group record for it accept it
anyway. This allows us to fix#9767
This then also ports all users to set the most appropriate flags.
Fixes: #9767

This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
As the comments already say it might be quite likely that
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set up as mount, and we shouldn't complain about
that.
Moreover, let's make this idempotent, so that a runtime dir that is
already gone and is removed again doesn't cause failure.
This makes hibernation unavailable if the kernel image we are currently
running was removed. This is supposed to be superficial protection
against hibernating a system we can never return from because the kernel
has been updated and the kernel we currently run is not available
anymore.
We look at a couple of places for the kernel, which should cover all
distributions I know off. Should I have missed a path I am sure people
will quickly notice and we can add more places to check. (or maybe
convince those distros to stick their kernels at a standard place)
We so far had various placed we'd parse percentages with
parse_percent(). Let's make them use parse_permille() instead, which is
downward compatible (as it also parses percent values), and increases
the granularity a bit. Given that on the wire we usually normalize
relative specifications to something like UINT32_MAX anyway changing
from base-100 to base-1000 calculations can be done easily without
breaking compat.
This commit doesn't document this change in the man pages. While
allowing more precise specifcations permille is not as commonly
understood as perent I guess, hence let's keep this out of the docs for
now.
We likely get the data from the env block, but we might also determine
it from elsewhere (such as PAM module parameters). Let's set the env
vars on the env block explicitly, so that they are available always, and
apps can rely on it.
Let's make this symmetric with XDG_SESSION_CLASS and XDG_SESSION_TYPE,
so that PAM stacks can configure this easily without involving env vars,
in case there are PAM session managers which only support a single
desktop anyway.
Since D-Bus 1.9.14 (2015-03-02) dbus looks in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus for
the system bus on its own, hence we can finally drop setting this
environment variable. gdbus since glib 2.45.3 (June 2015) also supports
it.
Currently to set the flag to reboot into the firmware setup an
authentication by an administrative user is required. Since we are
already enabling active users to reboot the system, it is advisable to
let the user decide if he wants to boot into the firmware setup without
any more hassle.
When unmounting user runtime directory, only UID is necessary,
and the corresponding user may not exist anymore.
This makes first try to parse the input by parse_uid(), and only if it
fails, prase the input by get_user_creds().
Fixes#9541.
If --dev-kvm-mode is set to something different then 0666, which we
explicitly support, it makes sense to still apply the uaccess tag to
/dev/kvm. For distros which opt to use the default 0666, this change is
a nop.
This partially reverts commit b8fd3d8220.
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.
They are not needed, because anything that is non-zero is converted
to true.

Let's show a message at the time of logout i.e. entering the "closing"
state, not just e.g. once the user closes `tmux` and the session can be
removed completely. (At least when KillUserProcesses=no applies. My
thinking was we can spare the log noise if we're killing the processes
anyway).
These are two independent events. I think the logout event is quite
significant in the session lifecycle. It will be easier for a user who
does not know logind details to understand why "Removed session" doesn't
appear at logout time, if we have a specific message we can show at this
time :).
Tested using tmux and KillUserProcesses=no. I can also confirm the extra
message doesn't show when using KillUserProcesses=yes. Maybe it looks a
bit mysterious when you use KillOnlyUsers= / KillExcludeUsers=, but
hopefully not alarmingly so.
I was looking at systemd-logind messages on my system, because I can
reproduce two separate problems with Gnome on Fedora 28 where
sessions are unexpectedly in state "closing". (One where a GUI session
limps along in a degraded state[1], and another where spice-vdagent is left
alive after logout, keeping the session around[2]). It logged when
sessions were created and removed, but it didn't log when the session
entered the "closing" state.

Most our other parsing functions do this, let's do this here too,
internally we accept that anyway. Also, the closely related
load_env_file() and load_env_file_pairs() also do this, so let's be
systematic.
Externally it's an uint64_t anyway, and internally we most just
initialize it to physical_memory() which returns uint64_t, hence there's
exactly zero value in using it as size_t internally. Hence, let's fix
that, and use uint64_t everywhere.
This makes most header files easier to look at. Also Emacs gets really
slow when browsing through large sections of overly long prototypes,
which is much improved by this macro.
We should probably not do something similar with too many other cases,
as macros like this might help readability for some, but make it worse
for others. But I think given the complexity of this specific prototype
and how often we use it, it's worth doing.
Let's properly terminate on SIGTERM or SIGINT. Previously we'd just rely
on the implicit process clean-up logic on UNIX. By shutting down
properly on SIGTERM/SIGINT we make it easier to track down memory leaks
by employing valgrind.
Let's propagate errors correctly, and stick to the usual naming and
behaviour of these functions. Or in other words, make this closer to the
matching code in machined.
Unfortunately this needs a new binary to do the mount because there's just
too many special steps to outsource this to systemd-mount:
- EPERM needs to be treated specially
- UserRuntimeDir= setting must be obeyed
- SELinux label must be adjusted
This allows user@.service to be started independently of logind.
So 'systemctl start user@nnn' will start the user manager for user nnn.
Logind will start it too when the user logs in, and will stop it (unless
lingering is enabled) when the user logs out.
Fixes#7339.
This removes the UserTasksMax= setting in logind.conf. Instead, the generic
TasksMax= setting on the slice should be used. Instead of a transient unit we
use a drop-in to tweak the default definition of a .slice. It's better to use
the normal unit mechanisms instead of creating units on the fly. This will also
make it easier to start user@.service independently of logind, or set
additional settings like MemoryMax= for user slices.
The setting in logind is removed, because otherwise we would have two sources
of "truth": the slice on disk and the logind config. Instead of trying to
coordinate those two sources of configuration (and maintainer overrides to
both), let's just convert to the new one fully.
Right now now automatic transition mechanism is provided. logind will emit a
hint when it encounters the setting, but otherwise it will be ignored.
Fixes#2556.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
$ sudo swapoff -av

$ sudo systemctl hibernate
Failed to hibernate system via logind: Not enough swap space for hibernation
Fixes#6729.
If hibernate.target is masked, and systemctl hibernate is invoked, havoc ensues.
logind starts the hibernation operation, but then doesn't go through with it;
gnome-shell segfaults. Let's be nice to the user and refuse doing anything in
that case.

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.
By default both processes, systemd-inhibit and the forked one, receive
the signals. Pressing Ctrl+C on the keyboard results in SIGINT being
sent to the processes, followed by SIGTERM being sent to the forked
process when systemd-inhibit exits. This can cause trouble when the
forked process does not clean up properly but exit immediately.
Instead make systemd-inhibit ignore SIGINT, leaving it to the forked
process to clean up and exit.
This adds flags BUS_MAP_STRDUP and BUS_MAP_BOOLEAN_AS_BOOL.
If BUS_MAP_STRDUP is set, then each "s" message is duplicated.
If BUS_MAP_BOOLEAN_AS_BOOL is set, then each "b" message is
written to a bool pointer.
Follow-up for #8488.

This reworks the SELinux and SMACK label fixing calls in a number of
ways:
1. The two separate boolean arguments of these functions are converted
into a flags type LabelFixFlags.
2. The operations are now implemented based on O_PATH. This should
resolve TTOCTTOU races between determining the label for the file
system object and applying it, as it it allows to pin the object
while we are operating on it.
3. When changing a label fails we'll query the label previously set, and
if matches what we want to set anyway we'll suppress the error.
Also, all calls to label_fix() are now (void)ified, when we ignore the
return values.
Fixes: #8566
When we are attempting to create directory somewhere in the bowels of /var/lib
and get an error that it already exists, it can be quite hard to diagnose what
is wrong (especially for a user who is not aware that the directory must have
the specified owner, and permissions not looser than what was requested). Let's
print a warning in most cases. A warning is appropriate, because such state is
usually a sign of borked installation and needs to be resolved by the adminstrator.

No functional change except for the new log lines.
This is similar to TAKE_PTR() but operates on file descriptors, and thus
assigns -1 to the fd parameter after returning it.
Removes 60 lines from our codebase. Pretty good too I think.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
Let's make sure we always initialize the return value if we return
non-negative.
Just a matter of coding style: we should always initialize our return
values when we return >= 0, and leave them unclobbered if we return < 0.
Even if pager_open() fails, in general, we should continue the operations.
All erroneous cases in pager_open() show log message in the function.
So, it is not necessary to check the returned value.
This replaces commit 4d3900f1b7.
The underlying cause of issue #8291 has been fixed, so there is no reason
to paper over it any more.
But it might still be useful not to crash in the face of bad restart data.
That can cause several restarts, or maybe at some point an infinite loop
of restarts. Fail the start (or stop!) request, and write an error to the
system log. Each time reflects a user request where we fail to resume the
display server's access (or revoke it), and it can be useful if the log
shows the most recent one.
FDSTOREREMOVE=1 removes all fds with the specified name. And we had named
the fds after the session. Better fix that.
Closes#8344.
AFAICT there's no point providing compatibility code for this transition.
No-one would be restarting logind on a system with a GUI (where the
session devices are used), because doing so has been killing the GUI, and
even causing startup of the GUI to fail leading to a restart loop.
Upgrading logind on a running system with a GUI might start being possible
after this commit (and after also fixing the display server of your
choice).
We already don't allow directly opening block devices attached to the seat.
They are handled by udisks instead. Clarify the code used when restarting
logind.
