These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
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.
This adds a new bus call to service and scope units called
AttachProcesses() that moves arbitrary processes into the cgroup of the
unit. The primary user for this new API is systemd itself: the systemd
--user instance uses this call of the systemd --system instance to
migrate processes if itself gets the request to migrate processes and
the kernel refuses this due to access restrictions.
The primary use-case of this is to make "systemd-run --scope --user …"
invoked from user session scopes work correctly on pure cgroupsv2
environments. There, the kernel refuses to migrate processes between two
unprivileged-owned cgroups unless the requestor as well as the ownership
of the closest parent cgroup all match. This however is not the case
between the session-XYZ.scope unit of a login session and the
user@ABC.service of the systemd --user instance.
The new logic always tries to move the processes on its own, but if
that doesn't work when being the user manager, then the system manager
is asked to do it instead.
The new operation is relatively restrictive: it will only allow to move
the processes like this if the caller is root, or the UID of the target
unit, caller and process all match. Note that this means that
unprivileged users cannot attach processes to scope units, as those do
not have "owning" users (i.e. they have now User= field).
Fixes: #3388
This majorly refactors the transient unit file and drop-in writing
logic, so that we properly C-escape and specifier-escape (% → %%)
everything we write out, so that when we read it back again, specifiers
are parsed that aren't supposed to be parsed.
This renames unit_write_drop_in() and friends by unit_write_setting().
The name change is supposed to clarify that the functions are not only
used to write drop-in files, but also transient unit files.
The previous "mode" parameter to this function is replaced by a more
generic "flags", which knows additional flags for implicit C-style and
specifier escaping before writing things out. This can cover most
properties where either form of escaping is defined. For the cases where
this isn't sufficient, we add helpers unit_escape_setting() and
unit_concat_strv() for escaping individual strings or strvs properly.
While we are at it, we also prettify generation of transient unit files:
we try to reduce the number of section headers written out: previously
we'd write the right section header our for each setting. With this
change we do so only if the setting lives in a different section than
the one before.
(This should also be considered preparation for when we add proper APIs
to systemd to write normal, persistant unit files through the bus API)
This watches controllers on the bus, and unsets them automatically when
they disappear.
Note that this is primarily a cosmetical fix. Since unique bus names are not
recycled, there's strictly no need to forget about them, but it's a lot
nicer to do so.
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.
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant
in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from
the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
- Always issue selinux access check as early as possible, and PK check
as late as possible.
- Introduce a new policykit action for altering environment
- Open most remaining bus calls to unprivileged clients via PK

root (ie: CAP_SYS_ADMIN) can continue to perform all calls, property

Open up the dbus1 policy for the above methods.
(Heavily modified by Lennart, making use of the new
bus_verify_polkit_async() version that doesn't force us to always
pass the original callback around. Also, interactive auhentication must
be opt-in, not unconditional, hence I turned this off.)
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.
Previously a cgroup setting down tree would result in cgroup membership
additions being propagated up the tree and to the siblings, however a
unit could never lose cgroup memberships again. With this change we'll
make sure that both cgroup additions and removals propagate properly.
When a process dies that we can associate with a specific unit, start
watching all other processes of that unit, so that we can associate
those processes with the unit too.
Also, for service units start doing this as soon as we get the first
SIGCHLD for either control or main process, so that we can follow the
processes of the service from one to the other, as long as process that
remain are processes of the ones we watched that died and got reassigned
to us as parent.
Similar, for scope units start doing this as soon as the scope
controller abandons the unit, and thus management entirely reverts to
systemd. To abandon a unit introduce a new Abandon() scope unit method
call.
By specifiy a Controller property when creating the scope a client can
specify a bus name that will be notified with a RequestStop bus signal
when the scope has been asked to shut down, instead of sending SIGTERM
to the scope processes themselves.

This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
Slice/ControlGroup only really makes sense for unit types which actually
have cgroups attached to them, hence move them out of the generic Unit
interface and into the specific unit type interfaces.
These fields will continue to be part of Unit though, simply because
things are a log easier that way. However, regardless how this looks
internally we should keep things clean and independent of the specific
implementation of the inside.
"Scope" units are very much like service units, however with the
difference that they are created from pre-existing processes, rather
than processes that systemd itself forks off. This means they are
generated programmatically via the bus API as transient units rather
than from static configuration read from disk. Also, they do not provide
execution-time parameters, as at the time systemd adds the processes to
the scope unit they already exist and the parameters cannot be applied
anymore.
The primary benefit of this new unit type is to create arbitrary cgroups
for worker-processes forked off an existing service.
This commit also adds a a new mode to "systemd-run" to run the specified
processes in a scope rather then a transient service.
