sd_path_home() returns ENXIO when a variable (such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) is not
defined. Previously we used ENOKEY for unresolvable specifiers. To avoid having
two codes, or translating ENXIO to ENOKEY, I replaced ENOKEY use with ENXIO.
v2:
- use sd_path_home and change to ENXIO everywhere
This commit adds specifiers %U, %u and %h for the user UID, name and
home directory, respectively.
[zj: drop untrue copy-pasted comments and move the next text
to the new "Specifiers" section.
Now that #7444 has been merged, also drop the specifier functions.]
Fixes#4097.
As of current master, systemd-tmpfiles behaves correctly, apart from a trivial
typo. So let's tell github to close the bug.
With current git:

-rwxrwxrwt. 1 root root 0 Nov 22 14:40 /run/hello2/hello2.test
Everything seems correct.
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
In this way, individual errors in files can be treated differently than a
failure of the whole service.
A test is added to check that the expected value is returned.
Some parts are commented out, because it is not. This will be fixed in
a subsequent commit.
Some filesystems do not set d_type value when
readdir is called, so entry type is unknown.
Therefore check if accessing entry does not
return ELOOP error.
As it turns out MAX_HANDLE_SZ is a lie, the handle buffer we pass into
name_to_handle_at() might need to be larger than MAX_HANDLE_SZ, and we
thus need to invoke name_to_handle_at() in a loop, growing the buffer as
needed.
This adds a new wrapper name_to_handle_at_loop() around
name_to_handle_at() that does the necessary looping, and ports over all
users.
Fixes: #7082
In chroot environments, /etc might not be fully initialized: /etc/machine-id
can be missing for example. This makes the expansions of affected specifiers
impossible at that time.
These cases should not be considered as errors and such failures shouldn't be
logged at an error level therefore this patch downgrades the level used to
LOG_NOTICE in such cases.
Also this is logged at LOG_NOTICE only the first time and then downgrade to
LOG_DEBUG for the rest. That way, if debugging is enabled we get the full
output, but otherwise we only see only one message.
The expansion of specifiers is now self contained in a dedicated function
instead of being spread all over the place.
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

If a path passes though an autofs filesystem, then accessing
the path might trigger and automount. As systemd-tmpfiles is run before
the network is up, and as automounts are often used for networked
filesystems, this can cause a deadlock.
So chase_symlinks is enhance to accept a new flag which tells it
to check for autofs, and return -EREMOTE if autofs is found.
tmpfiles is changed to check just before acting on a path so that it
can avoid autofs even if a symlink was created earlier by tmpfiles
that would send this path through an autofs.
This fixes a deadlock that happens when /home is listed in /etc/fstab as
x-systemd.automount for an NFS directory.
tmpfiles.d option "e" when run through systemd-tmpfiles --create should
apply configured permissions (uid,gid) only to already existing
files. When file doesn't exist we bail out with error. Instead we should
silently ignore non-existing files.
$ useradd test
$ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf
e /tmp/test - test test 1d
$ ls -l /tmp/test
ls: cannot access '/tmp/test': No such file or directory
Before:
$ systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf
Adjusting owner and mode for /tmp/test failed: No such file or directory
$ echo $?

After:
$ systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf
$ echo $?
0
Currently if tmpfiles is run with force on symlink creation but there already
exists a directory at that location, the creation will fail. This change
updates the behavior to remove the directory with rm_fr and then attempts to
create the symlink again.
All those uses were correct, but I think it's better to be explicit.
Using implicit errno is too error prone, and with this change we can require
(in the sense of a style guideline) that the code is always specified.
Helpful query: git grep -n -P 'log_[^s][a-z]+\(.*%m'
This filters out "." and ".." from glob results. Fixes#5655 and #5644.
Any judgements on whether the path is "safe" are removed. We will not remove
"/" under any name (including "/../" and such), but we will remove stuff that
is specified using paths that include "//", "/./" and "/../". Such paths can be
created when joining strings automatically, or for other reasons, and people
generally know what ".." and "." is.
Tests are added to make sure that the helper functions behave as expected.
This changes the file copy logic of machined to set the UID/GID of all
copied files to 0 if the host and container do not share the same user
namespace.
Fixes: #4078
This adds a unified "copy_flags" parameter to all copy_xyz() function
calls, replacing the various boolean flags so far used. This should make
many invocations more readable as it is clear what behaviour is
precisely requested. This also prepares ground for adding support for
more modes later on.
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.
I wanted to add a config line that would empty a directory
without creating it if doesn't exist. Existing actions don't allow
this.
v2: properly add 'e' to needs_glob() and takes_ownership()
As described in the documentation:
When O_PATH is specified in flags, flag bits other than O_CLOEXEC,
O_DIRECTORY, and O_NOFOLLOW are ignored.
So, we can remove unnecessary flags in a case when O_PATH is passed
to the open() or openat().
It's not a good idea to create subvolumes for parts of the OS tree (such
as /home, or /var) if the root directory is not a subvolume too. We
shouldn't assume control of "heavier" objects such as subvolumes, if the
originating object (the root directory) is a "light-weight" object, i.e.
a plain directory.
Effectively this means that chroot() environments that are run on a
plain directory do not have to deal with problems around systemd
creating subvolumes that cannot be removed with a simple "rm" anymore.
However, if the chroot manager creates a proper subvolume for such an
environment it will also get further subvolumes placed in there, under
the assumption that the manager understands the concept of subvolumes in
that case.
The macro is generically useful for putting together search paths, hence
let's make it truly generic, by dropping the implicit ".d" appending it
does, and leave that to the caller. Also rename it from
CONF_DIRS_NULSTR() to CONF_PATHS_NULSTR(), since it's not strictly about
dirs that way, but any kind of file system path.
Also, mark CONF_DIR_SPLIT_USR() as internal macro by renaming it to
_CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR() so that the leading underscore indicates that
it's internal.
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
get_current_dir_name() can return a variety of errors, not just ENOMEM,
hence don't blindly turn its errors to ENOMEM, but return correct errors
in path_make_absolute_cwd().
This trickles down into a couple of other functions, some of which
receive unrelated minor fixes too with this commit.
This also allows us to drop build.h from a ton of files, hence do so.
Since we touched the #includes of those files, let's order them properly
according to CODING_STYLE.
This downgrades errors from setting file attributes via tmpfiles to
warnings and makes them non-fatal.
Also, as a special case, if a file system does not support file
attributes at all, then the message is downgraded to debug, so that it
is not seen at all.
With this change reiserfs should not see any messages at all anymore
(since it apparently does not implement file attributes at all), but XFS
will still get a warning but no failure. The warning is something the
XFS kernel folks should fix though, by adjusting their file attributes
behaviour to be identical to ext234's.
Fixes#560.
So far a number of utilities implemented their own calls for this, unify
them in prefix_root() and prefix_roota(). The former uses heap memory,
the latter allocates from the stack via alloca().
Port over most users of a --root= logic.
On read-only filesystems trying to create the target will not fail with
EEXIST but with EROFS. Handle EROFS by checking if the target already
exists, and if empty when truncating.
This avoids reporting errors if tmpfiles doesn't actually needs to do
anything.
[zj: revert condition to whitelist rather then blacklisting, and add goto
to avoid stat'ting twice.]
We should try to execute them in the same order they appear in the
configuration files, as it is documented. Hence move to an ordered
hashmap.
(Note though, that this still doesn't execute them completely in order:
we will still apply non-glob lines before glob-lines, and reorder lines
prefixing each other and that apply to the same paths).
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-March/029055.html
Always create files first, and then adjust their ACLs, xattrs, file
attributes, never the opposite. Previously the order was not
deterministic, thus possibly first adjusting ACLs/xattrs/file
attributes before actually creating the items.
- Stick to one type for the flags field: unsigned. This appears to be
what the kernel uses, and there's no point in using something else.
- compress the flags array by avoiding sparse entries
- extend some error messages to not use abbreviated words
- avoid TTOCTTOU issues by invoking fstat() after open() when applying
file flags
- add explanation why we need to check the file type with fstat().
- don't needlessly abbreviate "attribute" as "attrib", in particually as
"chattr" abbreviates it as "attr" rather than "attrib".
Change cunescape() to return a normal error code, so that we can
distuingish OOM errors from parse errors.
This also adds a flags parameter to control whether "relaxed" or normal
parsing shall be done. If set no parse failures are generated, and the
only reason why cunescape() can fail is OOM.
When parsing words from input files, optionally automatically unescape
the passed strings, controllable via a new flags parameter.
Make use of this in tmpfiles, and port everything else over, too.
This improves parsing quite a bit, since we no longer have to process the
same string multiple times with different calls, where an earlier call
might corrupt the input for a later call.
Allow systemd-tmpfiles to set the file/directory attributes, like
chattr(1) does. Two more commands are added: 'H' and 'h' to set the
attributes, recursively and not.

This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
In the test, p is a path to a directory, always absolute. dent->d_name
is a single path component, so they cannot be equal. The comparison
was wrong also for other reasons: D type supports globs, so direct
comparisons using streq are not enough.
This warning got its own name only in gcc5, so the suppression does
not work in gcc4, and generates a warning of its own. Use a cast,
which is ugly too, but less so.
Both plain opendir() and glob() will bump access time. Privileged
option O_NOATIME can be used to prevent the access time from being
updated. We already used it for subdirectories of the directories
which we were cleaning up. But for the directories specified directly
in the config files, we wouldn't do that. This means that,
paradoxically, our own temporary directories for PrivateTmp would stay
around forever, as long as one let systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service run
regularly, because they had their own glob patterns specified.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183684
systemd-tmpfiles can be used by users, but it can be quite hard to
figure out the logic it follows, especially since the logic is in some
places rather torturous. Hopefuly this will make it easier for users
to understand what is happening.
For ACLs to be valid, a set of entries for user, group, and other
must be always present. Always add those entries.
While at it, only add the mask ACL if it is actually required, i.e.
when at least on ACL for non-owner group or user exists.
For types which adapt existing files it is generally more useful to accept
globs.
In analogy to z and Z, add recursive versions using uppercase letters.
Technically, making a accept globs is backwards incompatible, but in
practice it probably isn't yet widely used and we can assume that most
people don't create files with wildcards in names.
Functions which are used as callbacks, but not directly on items, are
renamed not to have "item_" prefix.
The data structure used by tmpfiles is changed: instead of hashmaps
mapping {path → Item*} we now have hashmaps containing
{path -> ItemArray}, where ItemArray contains a pointer
to an array of Items.
For current code it doesn't matter much, but when we add new types it
is easier to simply add a new Item for a given path, then to coalesce
multiple lines into one Item.
In the future, this change will also make it possible to remember the
file and line where each Item originates, and use that in reporting
errors. Currently this is not possible, since each Item can be created
from multiple lines.
It does not use any functions from libcap directly. The CAP_MKNOD constant in
use by this file comes from <linux/capability.h> imported through "missing.h".
Tested that "systemd-tmpfiles" builds cleanly and works after this change.
This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created
by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on
volatile files and directories.
It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain
attributes in Argument field, using following format:
name=value
All other fields are ignored.
If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks.
User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash.
Example:
D /var/run/cups - - - -
t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | while read f; do perl -i.mmm -e \
'local $/;
local $_=<>;
s/(if\s*\([^\n]+\))\s*{\n(\s*)(log_[a-z_]*_errno\(\s*([->a-zA-Z_]+)\s*,[^;]+);\s*return\s+\g4;\s+}/\1\n\2return \3;/msg;
print;'
$f
done
And a couple of manual whitespace fixups.
As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().
Several different systemd tools define a nulstr containing a standard
series of configuration file directories, in /etc, /run, /usr/local/lib,
/usr/lib, and (#ifdef HAVE_SPLIT_USR) /lib. Factor that logic out into
a new helper macro, CONF_DIRS_NULSTR.
If one has a config like:
d /tmp 1777 root root -
X /tmp/important_mount
All files below /tmp/important_mount will be deleted as the
/tmp/important_mount item will spuriously inherit a max age of 0
from /tmp.
/tmp has a max age of 0 but age_set is (of course) false.
This affects also the PrivateTmp feature of systemd.
All tmp files of such services will be deleted unconditionally
and can cause service failures and data loss.
Fix this by checking ->age_set in the IGNORE_DIRECTORY_PATH logic.
It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
getopt is usually good at printing out a nice error message when
commandline options are invalid. It distinguishes between an unknown
option and a known option with a missing arg. It is better to let it
do its job and not use opterr=0 unless we actually want to suppress
messages. So remove opterr=0 in the few places where it wasn't really
useful.
When an error in options is encountered, we should not print a lengthy
help() and overwhelm the user, when we know precisely what is wrong
with the commandline. In addition, since help() prints to stdout, it
should not be used except when requested with -h or --help.
Also, simplify things here and there.
Previously it would recursively copy the entire tree in, and descend
into subdirectories even if the destination already exists. Let's do
what the documentation says and not do that.
If files down the tree shall be copied too, they should get their own
"C" lines.
If two lines refer to paths that are suffix and prefix of each other,
then always process the prefix first, the suffix second. In all other
cases strictly process rules in the order they appear in the files.
This makes creating /var/run as symlink to /run a lot more fun, since it
is automatically created first.
"m" so far has been a non-globbing version of "z". Since this makes it
quite redundant, let's get rid of it. Remove "m" from the man pages,
beef up "z" docs instead, and make "m" nothing more than a compatibility
alias for "z".
Cases where name_to_handle_at is used allocated the full struct to be
MAX_HANDLE_SZ, and assigned this size to handle_bytes. This is wrong
since handle_bytes should describe the length of the flexible array
member and not the whole struct.
Define a union type which includes sufficient padding to allow
assignment of MAX_HANDLE_SZ to be correct.
safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.
This adds the same root argument to search_and_fopen that
conf_files_list already has. Tools that use those two functions as a
pair can now be easily modified to load configuration files from an
alternate root filesystem tree.
Various operations done by systemd-tmpfiles may only be safely done at
boot (e.g. removal of X lockfiles in /tmp, creation of /run/nologin).
Other operations may be done at any point in time (e.g. setting the
ownership on /{run,var}/log/journal). This distinction is largely
orthogonal to the type of operation.
A new switch --unsafe is added, and operations which should only be
executed during bootup are marked with an exclamation mark in the
configuration files. systemd-tmpfiles.service is modified to use this
switch, and guards are added so it is hard to re-start it by mistake.
If we install a new version of systemd, we actually want to enforce
some changes to tmpfiles configuration immediately. This should now be
possible to do safely, so distribution packages can be modified to
execute the "safe" subset at package installation time.
/run/nologin creation is split out into a separate service, to make it
easy to override.

and a good debugging experience.
Emacs C indenting really gets confused by these lines if they carry no
trailing semicolon, hence let's make this nicer for good old emacs. The
other macros which define functions already do this too, so let's copy
the scheme here.
Also, let's use an uppercase name for the macro. So far our rough rule
was that macros that are totally not function-like (like this ones,
which define a function) are uppercase. (Well, admittedly it is a rough
rule only, for example function and variable decorators are all
lower-case SINCE THE CONSTANT YELLING IN THE SOURCES WOULD SUCK, and
also they at least got underscore prefixes.) Also, the macros that
define functions that we already have are all uppercase, so let's do the
same here...
Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.
A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:
$ size build/.libs/systemd
text data bss dec hex filename
before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd
… actually less than 1‰.
A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
Internally we store all time values in usec_t, however parse_usec()
actually was used mostly to parse values in seconds (unless explicit
units were specified to define a different unit). Hence, be clear about
this and name the function about what we pass into it, not what we get
out of it.
gcc thinks that errno might be negative, and functions could return
something positive on error (-errno). Should not matter in practice,
but makes an -O4 build much quieter.
This unifies much of the logic behind them:
- All four will now ofllow the rule that the earlier file and earlier
assignment in the .d/ directories wins. Before, sysctl was the only
outlier, where the later setting always won.
- All four now support getopt() and --help on the command line.
- All four can now handle specification of configuration file names on
the command line to apply. The tools will automatically find them, and
apply them. Previously only tmpfiles could do that. This is useful for
%post scripts in RPMs and suchlike.
- This fixes various error path issues in conf_files_list()
Type X will exclude path itself from clean-up. However, if the path is a
directory systemd-tmpfiles will clean-up its content.
In contrast to type x, where path is ignored completely, type X needs some
Age parameter. In order to determine Age parameter, we will look for config
entries of type d or D and pick the best match. Best match is either
exact match or longest prefix match.
Mostly useful for testing purposes. Setting Age to 1s works just as
well, but it is surprising that using 0s (or just 0) does not work.
Also clarify this in the documentation.
d4e9eb91ea changed the behavior for the F and f actions, wrongly sending
them to glob_item(). Restore the old behavior and shortcut straight to
write_one_file().
This resolves problems with filesystems which do not implement the
aio_write file operation. In this case, the kernel will fall back using
a loop writing technique for each pointer in a received iovec. The
result is strange errors in dmesg such as:
[ 31.855871] elevator: type not found
[ 31.856262] elevator: switch to
[ 31.856262] failed
It does not make sense to implement a synchronous aio_write method for
sysfs as this isn't a real filesystem where a reasonable use case for
using writev exists, nor is there an expectation that tmpfiles will be
used to write more data than can be reasonably written in a single write
syscall.
In addition, some sysfs attrs are currently buggy and will NOT reject
the second write with the newline, causing the sysfs value to be zeroed
out. This of course should be fixed in the kernel regardless of any
wrongdoing in userspace, but this simple change makes us immune to such
a bug.
This change means that we do not write a trailing newline by default, as
the expected use case of 'w' is for sysfs and procfs. In exchange, honor
C-style backslash escapes so that if the newline is really needed, the
user can add it.
Break out the write logic into a separate function and simply use it as
a callback to glob_item.
This allows users to consolidate writes to sysfs with multiple similar
pathnames, e.g.
w /sys/class/block/sd[a-z]/queue/read_ahead_kb - - - - 1024
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors

Allow passing of basename only, instead of the absolute path; letting
systemd-tmpfiles perform a path lookup for the proper fragment path in
the config directories.
This allows distributions to call: systemd-tmpfiles <program.conf> on
upgrade of a package, with respecting the possibly overriden (or even
masked) tmpfile.
