The code intentionally ignored unknown specifiers, treating them as text. This
needs to change because otherwise we can never add a new specifier in a backwards
compatible way. So just treat an unknown (potential) specifier as an error.
In principle this is a break of backwards compatibility, but the previous
behaviour was pretty much useless, since the expanded value could change every
time we add new specifiers, which we do all the time.
As a compromise for backwards compatibility, only fail on alphanumerical
characters. This should cover the most cases where an unescaped percent
character is used, like size=5% and such, which behave the same as before with
this patch. OTOH, this means that we will not be able to use non-alphanumerical
specifiers without breaking backwards compatibility again. I think that's an
acceptable compromise.
v2:
- add NEWS entry
v3:
- only fail on alphanumerical
This fixes various typos, removes some duplications, and adds a bit more
detail in the few places which are potential pitfalls for users.
Also change the way the paragraphs about new options begin, because having
a paragraph saying "Two new options have been added", and then bit lower
again "Two new options have been added" is confusing.
This creates a second private resolve.conf file which lists the stub resolver
and the resolved acquired search domains.
This runtime file should be used as a symlink target for /etc/resolv.conf such
that non-nss based applications can resolve search domains.
Fixes: #7009
This adds "systemd-resolve --reset-server-features" for explicitly
forgetting what we learnt. This might be useful for debugging
purposes, and to force systemd-resolved to restart its learning logic
for all DNS servers.
This removes the '@credentials' syscall set that was added in commit
v234-468-gcd0ddf6f75.
Most of these syscalls are so simple that we do not want to filter them.
They work on the current calling process, doing only read operations,
they do not have a deep kernel path.
The problem may only be in 'capget' syscall since it can query arbitrary
processes, and used to discover processes, however sending signal 0 to
arbitrary processes can be used to discover if a process exists or not.
It is unfortunate that Linux allows to query processes of different
users. Lets put it now in '@process' syscall set, and later we may add
it to a new '@basic-process' set that allows most basic process
operations.
Typically when DHCP server sets MTU it is a lower one. And a lower than usual
MTU is then thus required on said network to have operational networking. This
makes networkd's dhcp client to work in more similar way to other dhcp-clients
(e.g. isc-dhcp). In particular, in a cloud setting, without this default
instances have resulted in timing out talking to cloud metadata source and
failing to provision.
This does not change this default for the Annonymize code path.
They’re counterparts to the existing set-log-level and set-log-target
verbs, simply printing the current value to stdout. This makes it
slightly easier to temporarily change the log level and/or target and
then restore the old value(s).
This reverts commit 4f5e972279.
Building with gperf 3.0 works just fine; we had an autoconf check to
determine the correct data types, and this check was ported to meson.
Some .install plugins does not require that machine ID is set such as
20-grubby.install for Fedora and 50-depmod.install.
To support such plugins to run without valid machine-id, this commit
makes the following change:
* if /etc/machine-id is missing or empty, create temporary directory
and set its path to BOOT_DIR_ABS,
* run the .install helpers with KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID environment
variable that'd be empty if /etc/machine-id is missing or empty.
This may be useful for installing kernel for e.g. stateless systems
which initialize machine-id while booting the systems.
If we could not communicate with systemd-resolved, we would call into
libnss_dns. libnss_dns would return NOTFOUND for stuff like "localhost" and
other names resolved by nss-myhostname, which we would fall under the !UNAVAIL=
condition and cause resolution to fail. So the following recommended
configuration in nsswitch.conf would not work:
hosts: resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
Remove the internal fallback code completely so that the fallback logic
can be configured in nsswitch.conf.
Tested with
hosts: resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] myhostname
and
hosts: resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
Fixes#5742.
This doesn't add anything major, but moves some stuff around.
In particular changes which might require updates to the build
environment (new kernel requirements, cgroup stuff, dbus, etc)
are moved to the top, where it's most likely that people will
read them. In particular cgroup hierarchy changes are moved to the
top because they're most likely to be problematic.
Various items are grouped by subject where it's easy.
The description of list-jobs --after/--before was reversed.
Apparently if people are adventurous enought to run Go programs in udev
rules they might run into problems with MemoryDenyWriteExecute=.
I am pretty sure the best way out is for the toolchain generating
programs incompatible with W^X to be fixed, but this still deserves
documentation.
This was forgotten for the 232 release, hence add it now, retroactively.
