These two sites _do_ match the definition of pid_is_valid(); they don't
provide any special handling for the invalid PID value 0. (They're used
by dbus methods, so the PID value 0 is handled with reference to the dbus
client creds, outside of these functions).
This was the one valid site in commit
ee043777be.
The second part of this hunk, avoiding using `%m`
when we didn't actually have `errno` set, seems
like a nice enough cleanup to be worthwhile on
it's own.
Also use PID_FMT to improve the error message we print
(pid_t is signed).
The configuration option was called -Dresolve, but the internal define
was …RESOLVED. This options governs more than just resolved itself, so
let's settle on the version without "d".
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
This reverts commit ee043777be.
It broke almost everywhere it touched. The places that
handn't been converted, were mostly followed by special
handling for the invalid PID `0`. That explains why they
tested for `pid < 0` instead of `pid <= 0`.
I think that one was the first commit I reviewed, heh.
This is a legacy of autotools, where one detection routine used a different
prefix then the others.

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.
Don't miscount number of "../" to generate, if we "." is included in an
input path.
Also, refuse if we encounter "../" since we can't possibly follow that
up properly, without file system access.
Some other modernizations.
Also, tests for DynamicUser= should really run for system mode, as we
allocate from a system resource.
(This also increases the test timeout to 2min. If one of our tests
really hangs then waiting for 2min longer doesn't hurt either. The old
2s is really short, given that we run in potentially slow VM
environments for this test. This becomes noticable when the slow "find"
command this adds is triggered)
Let's optimize dynamic UID allocation a bit: if a StateDirectory= (or
suchlike) is configured, we start our allocation loop from that UID and
use it if it currently isn't used otherwise. This is beneficial as it
saves us from having to expensively recursively chown() these
directories in the typical case (which StateDirectory= does when it
notices that the owner of the directory doesn't match the UID picked).
With this in place we now have the a three-phase logic for allocating a
dynamic UID:
a) first, we try to use the owning UID of StateDirectory=,
CacheDirectory=, LogDirectory= if that exists and is currently
otherwise unused.
b) if that didn't work out, we hash the UID from the service name
c) if that didn't yield an unused UID either, randomly pick new ones
until we find a free one.
Let's clean up the interaction of StateDirectory= (and friends) to
DynamicUser=1: instead of creating these directories directly below
/var/lib, place them in /var/lib/private instead if DynamicUser=1 is
set, making that directory 0700 and owned by root:root. This way, if a
dynamic UID is later reused, access to the old run's state directory is
prohibited for that user. Then, use file system namespacing inside the
service to make /var/lib/private a readable tmpfs, hiding all state
directories that are not listed in StateDirectory=, and making access to
the actual state directory possible. Mount all directories listed in
StateDirectory= to the same places inside the service (which means
they'll now be mounted into the tmpfs instance). Finally, add a symlink
from the state directory name in /var/lib/ to the one in
/var/lib/private, so that both the host and the service can access the
path under the same location.
Here's an example: let's say a service runs with StateDirectory=foo.
When DynamicUser=0 is set, it will get the following setup, and no
difference between what the unit and what the host sees:
/var/lib/foo (created as directory)
Now, if DynamicUser=1 is set, we'll instead get this on the host:
/var/lib/private (created as directory with mode 0700, root:root)
/var/lib/private/foo (created as directory)
/var/lib/foo → private/foo (created as symlink)
And from inside the unit:
/var/lib/private (a tmpfs mount with mode 0755, root:root)
/var/lib/private/foo (bind mounted from the host)
/var/lib/foo → private/foo (the same symlink as above)
This takes inspiration from how container trees are protected below
/var/lib/machines: they generally reuse UIDs/GIDs of the host, but
because /var/lib/machines itself is set to 0700 host users cannot access
files in the container tree even if the UIDs/GIDs are reused. However,
for this commit we add one further trick: inside and outside of the unit
/var/lib/private is a different thing: outside it is a plain,
inaccessible directory, and inside it is a world-readable tmpfs mount
with only the whitelisted subdirs below it, bind mounte din. This
means, from the outside the dir acts as an access barrier, but from the
inside it does not. And the symlink created in /var/lib/foo itself
points across the barrier in both cases, so that root and the unit's
user always have access to these dirs without knowing the details of
this mounting magic.
This logic resolves a major shortcoming of DynamicUser=1 units:
previously they couldn't safely store persistant data. With this change
they can have their own private state, log and data directories, which
they can write to, but which are protected from UID recycling.
With this change, if RootDirectory= or RootImage= are used it is ensured
that the specified state/log/cache directories are always mounted in
from the host. This change of semantics I think is much preferable since
this means the root directory/image logic can be used easily for
read-only resource bundling (as all writable data resides outside of the
image). Note that this is a change of behaviour, but given that we
haven't released any systemd version with StateDirectory= and friends
implemented this should be a safe change to make (in particular as
previously it wasn't clear what would actually happen when used in
combination). Moreover, by making this change we can later add a "+"
modifier to these setings too working similar to the same modifier in
ReadOnlyPaths= and friends, making specified paths relative to the
container itself.
When putting together the namespace, always create the file or directory
we are supposed to bind mount on, the same way we do it for most other
stuff, for example mount units or systemd-nspawn's --bind= option.
This has the big benefit that we can use namespace bind mounts on dirs
in /tmp or /var/tmp even in conjunction with PrivateTmp=.
Before this patch we had an ordering problem: if we have no namespacing
enabled except for two bind mounts that intend to swap /a and /b via
bind mounts, then we'd execute the bind mount binding /b to /a, followed
by thebind mount from /a to /b, thus having the effect that /b is now
visible in both /a and /b, which was not intended.
With this change, as soon as any bind mount is configured we'll put
together the service mount namespace in a temporary directory instead of
operating directly in the root. This solves the problem in a
straightforward fashion: the source of bind mounts will always refer to
the host, and thus be unaffected from the bind mounts we already
created.
We already create /dev implicitly if PrivateTmp=yes is on, if it is
missing. Do so too for the other two API VFS, as well as for /dev if
PrivateTmp=yes is off but MountAPIVFS=yes is on (i.e. when /dev is bind
mounted from the host).
In most cases we followed the rule that the special _INVALID and _MAX
values we use in our enums use the full type name as prefix (in contrast
to regular values that we often make shorter), do so for
ExecDirectoryType as well.
No functional changes, just a little bit of renaming to make this code
more like the rest.
This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with DynamicUser=1,
where the UID might change for every invocation, but is useful in other
cases too, for example, when these directories are shared between
systems where the UID assignments differ slightly.
No need to wait for a timeout when we know things are not going to work out.
When the main process goes away and only notifications from the main process are
accepted, then we will not receive any notifications anymore.
