Allows to specify mount options for RootImage.
In case of multi-partition images, the partition number can be prefixed
followed by colon. Eg:
RootImageOptions=1:ro,dev 2:nosuid nodev
In absence of a partition number, 0 is assumed.
It needs to be world readable (unlike /etc/shadow) when created anew.
This fixes systems that boot with "systemd-nspawn --volatile=yes", i.e.
come up with an entirely empty /etc/ and thus no existing /etc/passwd
file when firstboot runs.
There are a lot of edge cases that the current implementation
doesn't handle, especially in cases where one of passwd/shadow
exists and the other doesn't exist. For example, if
--root-password is specified, we will write /etc/shadow but
won't add a root entry to /etc/passwd if there is none.
To fix some of these issues, we constrain systemd-firstboot to
only modify /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow if both do not exist
already (or --force) is specified. On top of that, we calculate
all necessary information for both passwd and shadow upfront so
we can take it all into account when writing the actual files.
If no root password options are given --force is specified or both
files do not exist, we lock the root account for security purposes.
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
This way we can use libxcrypt specific functionality such as
crypt_gensalt() and thus take benefit of the newer algorithms libxcrypt
implements. (Also adds support for a new env var $SYSTEMD_CRYPT_PREFIX
which may be used to select the hash algorithm to use for libxcrypt.)
Also, let's move the weird crypt.h inclusion into libcrypt.h so that
there's a single place for it.
Since ask_password() (and related calls) already append one char, we
ended up appending two. That's not pretty. Let's fix this, and do it
like in all other cases ask_password() (or an equivalent function) is
called.
The user most likely knows the name of their locale/keymap/whatever,
and paging through multiple pages of output has little benefit.
The header that was printed before is now not printed anymore. But
now it's obvious from the context what we are printing, so we don't
need to print the header.
Some chattrs only work sensible if you set them right after opening a
file for create (think: FS_NOCOW_FL). Others only work when they are
applied when the file is fully written (think: FS_IMMUTABLE_FL). Let's
take that into account when copying files and applying a chattr to them.
This has been irritating me for quite a while: let's prefix these enum
values with a common prefix, like we do for almost all other enums.
No change in behaviour, just some renaming.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
It's more descriptive, since we also have a function random_bytes()
which sounds very similar.
Also rename pseudorandom_bytes() to pseudo_random_bytes(). This way the
two functions are nicely systematic, one returning genuine random bytes
and the other pseudo random ones.
A race condition happens when calling ask_password_auto() multiple times
to unlock several disks on boot and effectively no password caching is
utilized. This patch fixes it by polling the cache when waiting for
the password.
This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
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.
Most our other parsing functions do this, let's do this here too,
internally we accept that anyway. Also, the closely related
load_env_file() and load_env_file_pairs() also do this, so let's be
systematic.
Previously we were a bit sloppy with the index and size types of arrays,
we'd regularly use unsigned. While I don't think this ever resulted in
real issues I think we should be more careful there and follow a
stricter regime: unless there's a strong reason not to use size_t for
array sizes and indexes, size_t it should be. Any allocations we do
ultimately will use size_t anyway, and converting forth and back between
unsigned and size_t will always be a source of problems.
Note that on 32bit machines "unsigned" and "size_t" are equivalent, and
on 64bit machines our arrays shouldn't grow that large anyway, and if
they do we have a problem, however that kind of overly large allocation
we have protections for usually, but for overflows we do not have that
so much, hence let's add it.
So yeah, it's a story of the current code being already "good enough",
but I think some extra type hygiene is better.
This patch tries to be comprehensive, but it probably isn't and I missed
a few cases. But I guess we can cover that later as we notice it. Among
smaller fixes, this changes:
1. strv_length()' return type becomes size_t
2. the unit file changes array size becomes size_t
3. DNS answer and query array sizes become size_t

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 macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
