Previously, we'd generate an EINVAL error if it is attempted to escape a root
directory with relative ".." symlinks. With this commit this is changed so that
".." from the root directory is a NOP, following the kernel's own behaviour
where /.. is equivalent to /.
As suggested by @keszybz.
chase_symlinks() currently expects a fully qualified, absolute path, relative
to the host's root as first argument. Which is useful in many ways, and similar
to the paths unlink(), rename(), open(), … expect. Sometimes it's however
useful to first prefix the specified path with the specified root directory.
Add a new call chase_symlinks_prefix() for this, that is a simple wrapper.
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.
We generally try to make our destructors robust regarding NULL pointers, much
in the same way as glibc's free(). Do this also for unit_free().
Follow-up for #4748.
So far systemd-nspawn container has been creating files under
/run/systemd/inaccessible, no matter whether it's running in user
namespace or not. That's fine for regular files, dirs, socks, fifos.
However, it's not for block and character devices, because kernel
doesn't allow them to be created under user namespace. It results
in warnings at booting like that:
====
Couldn't stat device /run/systemd/inaccessible/chr
Couldn't stat device /run/systemd/inaccessible/blk
====
Thus we need to have the cgroups whitelisting handler to silently ignore
a file, when the device path is prefixed with "-". That's exactly the
same convention used in directives like ReadOnlyPaths=. Also insert the
prefix "-" to inaccessible entries.
IMA validates file signatures based on the security.ima xattr. As of
Linux-4.7, instead of copying the IMA policy into the securityfs policy,
the IMA policy pathname can be written, allowing the IMA policy file
signature to be validated.
This patch modifies the existing code to first attempt to write the
pathname, but on failure falls back to copying the IMA policy contents.
We stay in the SERVICE_START while no READY=1 notification message has
been received. When we are in the SERVICE_START_POST state, we have
already received a ready notification. Hence we should not fail when the
cgroup becomes empty in that state.
This will allow us to have several managers sharing an event loop
and running in parallel, as if they were running in separate processes.
The long term-aim is to allow networkd to be split into separate
processes, so restructure the code to make this simpler.
For now we drop the exit-on-idle logic, as this was anyway severely
restricted at the moment. Once split, we will revisit this as it may
then make more sense again.
Since a581e45ae8, there's a few function calls to
unit_new_for_name which will unit_free on failure. Prior to this commit,
a failure would result in calling unit_free with a NULL unit, and hit an
assertion failure, seen at least via device_setup_unit:
Assertion 'u' failed at src/core/unit.c:519, function unit_free(). Aborting.
Fixes#4747https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51950
strtoul() parses leading whitespace and an optional sign;
check that the first character is a digit to prevent odd
specifications like "00: 00: 00" and "-00:+00/-1".
This is a different way to implement the fix proposed by commit
a4021390fe suggested by Lennart Poettering.
In this patch we instruct PID1 to not kill "systemctl switch-root" command
started by initrd-switch-root service using the "argv[0][0]='@'" trick.
See: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons/ for
more details.
We had to backup argv[0] because argv is modified by dispatch_verb().
"*-*~1" => The last day of every month
"*-02~3..5" => The third, fourth, and fifth last days in February
"Mon 05~07/1" => The last Monday in May
Resolves#3861
If setting the received timezone or transient hostname fails because D-Bus is
not (yet) up, store the data in the Manager object and try again after
connecting to D-Bus.
systemd-networkd runs as user "systemd-network" and thus is not privileged to
set the timezone acquired from DHCP:
systemd-networkd[4167]: test_eth42: Could not set timezone: Interactive authentication required.
Similarly to commit e8c0de912, add a polkit rule to grant
org.freedesktop.timedate1.set-timezone to the "systemd-network" system user.
Move the polkit rules from src/hostname/ to src/network/ to avoid too many
small distributed policy snippets (there might be more in the future), as it's
easier to specify the privileges for a particular subject in this case.
Add NetworkdClientTest.test_dhcp_timezone() test case to verify this (for
all people except those in Pacific/Honolulu, there the test doesn't prove
anything -- sorry ☺ ).
Before this commit, when the main process of a Type=notify service exits the
service would enter a running state without passing through the startup post
state. This meant ExecStartPost= from being executed and allowed follow-up
units to start too early (before the ready notification).
Additionally, when RemainAfterExit=yes is used on a Type=notify service, the
exit status of the main process would be disregarded.
After this commit, an unsuccessful exit of the main process of a Type=notify
service puts the unit in a failed state. A successful exit is inconsequential
in case RemainAfterExit=yes. Otherwise, when no ready notification has been
received, the unit is put in a failed state because it has never been active.
When all processes in the cgroup of a Type=notify service are gone and no ready
notification has been received yet, the unit is also put in a failed state.
