Handle properly if /etc is a symlink (i.e. make sure we don't follow the
symlink outside the image). Also follow /etc/resolv.conf if it is a
symlink, and use the resolved path when creating a mount point and
mounting (as both of these operations follow symlinks and rally
shouldn't).
Handle more types of read-only errors as debug-level issues.
In preparation for reusing the image dissector in the GPT auto-discovery
logic, only optionally fail the dissection when we can't identify a root
partition.
In the GPT auto-discovery we are completely fine with any kind of root,
given that we run when it is already mounted and all we do is find some
additional auxiliary partitions on the same disk.
This was broken by 19caffac75 which remounted the
root directory to MS_SHARED before applying the volatile mount logic. This
broke things as MS_MOVE is incompatible with MS_SHARED directory trees, and we
need MS_MOVE in the volatile mount logic to rearrange the directory tree.
Simply swap the order here, apply the volatile logic before we switch to
MS_SHARED.
This is useful for reusing the dissector logic in the gpt-auto-discovery logic:
there we really don't want to use MBR or naked file systems as root device.
The container detection code in virt.c we ship checks for /proc/1/environ,
looking for "container=" in it. Let's make sure our "-a" init stub exposes that
correctly.
Without this "systemd-detect-virt" run in a "-a" container won't detect that it
is being run in a container.
When getting SIGCHLD we should not assume that it was the first
child forked from system-nspawn that has died as it may also be coming
from an orphan process. This change adds a signal handler that ignores
SIGCHLD unless it came from the first containerized child - the real
child.
Before this change the problem can be reproduced as follows:
$ sudo systemd-nspawn --directory=/container-root --share-system
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
[root@andreyu-coreos ~]# { true & } &
[1] 22201
[root@andreyu-coreos ~]#
Container root-fedora-latest terminated by signal KILL
This might happen that resolv.conf is missing in a minimal rootfs and in this
case the following warning is emitted:
Failed to mount n/a on /mnt/etc/resolv.conf (MS_BIND ""): No such file or directory
This patch fixes this case.
This adds support for discovering and making use of properly tagged dm-verity
data integrity partitions. This extends both systemd-nspawn and systemd-dissect
with a new --root-hash= switch that takes the root hash to use for the root
partition, and is otherwise fully automatic.
Verity partitions are discovered automatically by GPT table type UUIDs, as
listed in
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/
(which I updated prior to this change, to include new UUIDs for this purpose.
mkosi with https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/pull/39 applied may generate images
that carry the necessary integrity data. With that PR and this commit, the
following simply lines suffice to boot up an integrity-protected container image:
```
# mkdir test
# cd test
# mkosi --verity
# systemd-nspawn -i ./image.raw -bn
```
Note that mkosi writes the image file to "image.raw" next to a a file
"image.roothash" that contains the root hash. systemd-nspawn will look for that
file and use it if it exists, in case --root-hash= is not specified explicitly.
This adds support to the image dissector to deal with encrypted images (only
LUKS). Given that we now have a neatly isolated image dissector codebase, let's
add a new feature to it: support for automatically dealing with encrypted
images. This is then exposed in systemd-dissect and nspawn.
It's pretty basic: only support for passphrase-based encryption.
In order to ensure that "systemd-dissect --mount" results in mount points whose
backing LUKS DM devices are cleaned up automatically we use the DM_DEV_REMOVE
ioctl() directly on the device (in DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE mode). libgcryptsetup at
the moment doesn't provide a proper API for this. Thankfully, the ioctl() API
is pretty easy to use.
Let's make use of the new internal API. This mostly doesn't change anything for
the caller, however, "systemd-nspawn --image=/dev/sda7" works now as the new
code can handle disk images with no partition tables, and make any detected
images directly the root.
If a source path is prefixed with "+" it is taken relative to the container's
root directory instead of the host. This permits easily establishing bind and
overlay mounts based on data from the container rather than the host.
This also reworks custom_mounts_prepare(), and turns it into two functions: one
custom_mount_check_all() that remains in nspawn.c but purely verifies the
validity of the custom mounts configured. And one called
custom_mount_prepare_all() that actually does the preparation step, sorts the
custom mounts, resolves relative paths, and allocates temporary directories as
necessary.
If --template= is used on an image, then the image might not exist initially.
We can use CHASE_NON_EXISTING to properly lock the image already before it
exists. Let's do so.
Let's remove chase_symlinks_prefix() and instead introduce a flags parameter to
chase_symlinks(), with a flag CHASE_PREFIX_ROOT that exposes the behaviour of
chase_symlinks_prefix().
As suggested in PR #3667.
This PR simply ensures that --template= can be used as alternative to
--directory= when --ephemeral is used, following the logic that for ephemeral
options the source directory is actually a template.
This does not deprecate usage of --directory= with --ephemeral, as I am not
convinced the old logic wouldn't make sense.
Fixes: #3667
This resolves any paths specified on --directory=, --template=, and --image=
before using them. This makes sure nspawn can be used correctly on symlinked
images and directory trees.
Fixes: #2001
Let's use chase_symlinks() everywhere, and stop using GNU
canonicalize_file_name() everywhere. For most cases this should not change
behaviour, however increase exposure of our function to get better tested. Most
importantly in a few cases (most notably nspawn) it can take the correct root
directory into account when chasing symlinks.
Given that other file systems (notably: xfs) support reflinks these days, let's
extend the file system snapshotting logic to fall back to plan copies or
reflinks when full btrfs subvolume snapshots are not available.
This essentially makes "systemd-nspawn --ephemeral" and "systemd-nspawn
--template=" available on non-btrfs subvolumes. Of course, both operations will
still be slower on non-btrfs than on btrfs (simply because reflinking each file
individually in a directory tree is still slower than doing this in one step
for a whole subvolume), but it's probably good enough for many cases, and we
should provide the users with the tools, they have to figure out what's good
for them.
Note that "machinectl clone" already had a fallback like this in place, this
patch generalizes this, and adds similar support to our other cases.
When mountint a loopback image, we need a temporary root directory we can mount
stuff to. Make sure to actually remove it when exiting, so that we don't leave
stuff around in /tmp unnecessarily.
See: #4664
Previously --ephemeral was only supported with container trees in btrfs
subvolumes (i.e. in combination with --directory=). This adds support for
--ephemeral in conjunction with disk images (i.e. --image=) too.
As side effect this fixes that --ephemeral was accepted but ignored when using
-M on a container that turned out to be an image.
Fixes: #4664
This commit adds the possibility to leave /sys, and /proc/sys read-write.
It introduces a new (undocumented) env var SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_API_VFS_WRITABLE
to enable this feature.
If set to "yes", /sys, and /proc/sys will be read-write.
If set to "no", /sys, and /proc/sys will be read-only.
If set to "network" /proc/sys/net will be read-write. This is useful in
use-cases, where systemd-nspawn is used in an external network
namespace.
This adds the possibility to start privileged containers which need more
control over settings in the /proc, and /sys filesystem.
This is also a follow-up on the discussion from
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4018#r76971862 where an
introduction of a simple env var to enable R/W support for those
directories was already discussed.
Since 133 is now used in a few places, add a #define for it.
Also make the status message a bit informative.
Another issue introduced in b006762. The logic was borked, we were supposed
to return 0 to break the loop, and 133 to restart the container, not the other
way around.
But this doesn't seem to work, reboot fails with:
Nov 08 00:41:32 laptop systemd-nspawn[26564]: Failed to register machine: Machine 'fedora-rawhide' already exists
So actually the version before this patch worked better, since 133 > 0 and we'd
at least loop internally.
The file /usr/lib/systemd/resolv.conf can be stale, it does not tell us
whether or not systemd-resolved is running or not.
So check for /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf as well, which is created
at runtime and hence is a better indication.
Commit b006762 inverted the initial exit code which is relevant for --help and
--version without a particular reason. For these special options, parse_argv()
returns 0 so that our main() immediately skips to the end without adjusting
"ret". Otherwise, if an actual container is being started, ret is set on error
in run(), which still provides the "non-zero exit on error" behaviour.
Fixes#4605.
We don't have plural in the name of any other -util files and this
inconsistency trips me up every time I try to type this file name
from memory. "formats-util" is even hard to pronounce.
Let's make sure that our loopback files remain sparse, hence let's set
"discard" as mount option on file systems that support it if the backing device
is a loopback.

> vfs: Don't create inodes with a uid or gid unknown to the vfs
It is expected that filesystems can not represent uids and gids from
outside of their user namespace. Keep things simple by not even
trying to create filesystem nodes with non-sense uids and gids.
So, we actually should `reset_uid_gid` early to prevent https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4223#issuecomment-252522955
