SIGTERM should be considered a clean exit code for daemons (i.e. long-running
processes, as a daemon without SIGTERM handler may be shut down without issues
via SIGTERM still) while it should not be considered a clean exit code for
commands (i.e. short-running processes).
Let's add two different clean checking modes for this, and use the right one at
the appropriate places.
Fixes: #4275
Let's get rid of is_clean_exit_lsb(), let's move the logic for the special
handling of the two LSB exit codes into the sysv-generator by writing out
appropriate SuccessExitStatus= lines if the LSB header exists. This is not only
semantically more correct, bug also fixes a bug as the code in service.c that
chose between is_clean_exit_lsb() and is_clean_exit() based this check on
whether a native unit files was available for the unit. However, that check was
bogus since a long time, since the SysV generator was introduced and native
SysV script support was removed from PID 1, as in that case a unit file always
existed.
This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.
This adds the boolean RemoveIPC= setting to service, socket, mount and swap
units (i.e. all unit types that may invoke processes). if turned on, and the
unit's user/group is not root, all IPC objects of the user/group are removed
when the service is shut down. The life-cycle of the IPC objects is hence bound
to the unit life-cycle.
This is particularly relevant for units with dynamic users, as it is essential
that no objects owned by the dynamic users survive the service exiting. In
fact, this patch adds code to imply RemoveIPC= if DynamicUser= is set.
In order to communicate the UID/GID of an executed process back to PID 1 this
adds a new "user lookup" socket pair, that is inherited into the forked
processes, and closed before the exec(). This is needed since we cannot do NSS
from PID 1 due to deadlock risks, However need to know the used UID/GID in
order to clean up IPC owned by it if the unit shuts down.
Currently, systemd uses either the legacy hierarchies or the unified hierarchy.
When the legacy hierarchies are used, systemd uses a named legacy hierarchy
mounted on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd without any kernel controllers for process
management. Due to the shortcomings in the legacy hierarchy, this involves a
lot of workarounds and complexities.
Because the unified hierarchy can be mounted and used in parallel to legacy
hierarchies, there's no reason for systemd to use a legacy hierarchy for
management even if the kernel resource controllers need to be mounted on legacy
hierarchies. It can simply mount the unified hierarchy under
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd and use it without affecting other legacy hierarchies.
This disables a significant amount of fragile workaround logics and would allow
using features which depend on the unified hierarchy membership such bpf cgroup
v2 membership test. In time, this would also allow deleting the said
complexities.
This patch updates systemd so that it prefers the unified hierarchy for the
systemd cgroup controller hierarchy when legacy hierarchies are used for kernel
resource controllers.
* cg_unified(@controller) is introduced which tests whether the specific
controller in on unified hierarchy and used to choose the unified hierarchy
code path for process and service management when available. Kernel
controller specific operations remain gated by cg_all_unified().
* "systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller" kernel argument can be used to
force the use of legacy hierarchy for systemd cgroup controller.
* nspawn: By default nspawn uses the same hierarchies as the host. If
UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY is set to 1, unified hierarchy is used for all. If
0, legacy for all.
* nspawn: arg_unified_cgroup_hierarchy is made an enum and now encodes one of
three options - legacy, only systemd controller on unified, and unified. The
value is passed into mount setup functions and controls cgroup configuration.
* nspawn: Interpretation of SYSTEMD_CGROUP_CONTROLLER to the actual mount
option is moved to mount_legacy_cgroup_hierarchy() so that it can take an
appropriate action depending on the configuration of the host.
v2: - CGroupUnified enum replaces open coded integer values to indicate the
cgroup operation mode.
- Various style updates.
v3: Fixed a bug in detect_unified_cgroup_hierarchy() introduced during v2.
v4: Restored legacy container on unified host support and fixed another bug in
detect_unified_cgroup_hierarchy().
A following patch will update cgroup handling so that the systemd controller
(/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd) can use the unified hierarchy even if the kernel
resource controllers are on the legacy hierarchies. This would require
distinguishing whether all controllers are on cgroup v2 or only the systemd
controller is. In preparation, this patch renames cg_unified() to
cg_all_unified().
This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.
This fixes an issue during reexec — the count of connections would be lost:
[zbyszek@fedora-rawhide ~]$ systemctl status testlimit.socket | grep Connected
Accepted: 1; Connected: 1
[zbyszek@fedora-rawhide ~]$ sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
[zbyszek@fedora-rawhide ~]$ systemctl status testlimit.socket | grep Connected
Accepted: 1; Connected: 0
With the patch, Connected count is preserved.
Also add "Accept Socket" to the dump output for services.
Previously, the result value of a unit was overriden with each failure that
took place, so that the result always reported the last failure that took
place.
With this commit this is changed, so that the first failure taking place is
stored instead. This should normally not matter much as multiple failures are
sufficiently uncommon. However, it improves one behaviour: if we send SIGABRT
to a service due to a watchdog timeout, then this currently would be reported
as "coredump" failure, rather than the "watchodg" failure it really is. Hence,
in order to report information about the type of the failure, and not about
the effect of it, let's change this from all unit type to store the first, not
the last failure.
This addresses the issue pointed out here:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3818#discussion_r73433520
This should simplify monitoring tools for services, by passing the most basic
information about service result/exit information via environment variables,
thus making it unnecessary to retrieve them explicitly via the bus.
The ExecParameters structure contains a number of bit-flags, that were so far
exposed as bool:1, change this to a proper, single binary bit flag field. This
makes things a bit more expressive, and is helpful as we add more flags, since
these booleans are passed around in various callers, for example
service_spawn(), whose signature can be made much shorter now.
Not all bit booleans from ExecParameters are moved into the flags field for
now, but this can be added later.
This adds a new boolean setting DynamicUser= to service files. If set, a new
user will be allocated dynamically when the unit is started, and released when
it is stopped. The user ID is allocated from the range 61184..65519. The user
will not be added to /etc/passwd (but an NSS module to be added later should
make it show up in getent passwd).
For now, care should be taken that the service writes no files to disk, since
this might result in files owned by UIDs that might get assigned dynamically to
a different service later on. Later patches will tighten sandboxing in order to
ensure that this cannot happen, except for a few selected directories.
A simple way to test this is:
systemd-run -p DynamicUser=1 /bin/sleep 99999
Let's lot at LOG_NOTICE about any processes that we are going to
SIGKILL/SIGABRT because clean termination of them didn't work.
This turns the various boolean flag parameters to cg_kill(), cg_migrate() and
related calls into a single binary flags parameter, simply because the function
now gained even more parameters and the parameter listed shouldn't get too
long.
Logging for killing processes is done either when the kill signal is SIGABRT or
SIGKILL, or on explicit request if KILL_TERMINATE_AND_LOG instead of LOG_TERMINATE
is passed. This isn't used yet in this patch, but is made use of in a later
patch.
Add sd_notify() parameter to change watchdog_usec during runtime.
Application can change watchdog_usec value by
sd_notify like this. Example. sd_notify(0, "WATCHDOG_USEC=20000000").
To reset watchdog_usec as configured value in service file,
restart service.
Notice.
sd_event is not currently supported. If application uses
sd_event_set_watchdog, or sd_watchdog_enabled, do not use
"WATCHDOG_USEC" option through sd_notify.
Delete the dbus1 generator and some critical wiring. This prevents
kdbus from being loaded or detected. As such, it will never be used,
even if the user still has a useful kdbus module loaded on their system.
Sort of fixes#3480. Not really, but it's better than the current state.
Let's move the enforcement of the per-unit start limit from unit.c into the
type-specific files again. For unit types that know a concept of "result" codes
this allows us to hook up the start limit condition to it with an explicit
result code. Also, this makes sure that the state checks in clal like
service_start() may be done before the start limit is checked, as the start
limit really should be checked last, right before everything has been verified
to be in order.
The generic start limit logic is left in unit.c, but the invocation of it is
moved into the per-type files, in the various xyz_start() functions, so that
they may place the check at the right location.
Note that this change drops the enforcement entirely from device, slice, target
and scope units, since these unit types generally may not fail activation, or
may only be activated a single time. This is also documented now.
Note that restores the "start-limit-hit" result code that existed before
6bf0f408e4 already in the service code. However,
it's not introduced for all units that have a result code concept.
Fixes#3166.
We always call one after the other anyway, and this way service_set_socket_fd()
and service_close_socket_fd() nicely match each other as one undoes the effect
of the other.
In service_set_socket_fd(), let's make sure that if we can't add the requested
dependencies we take no possession of the passed connection fd.
This way, we follow the strict rule: we take possession of the passed fd on
success, but on failure we don't, and the fd remains in possession of the
caller.
This adds a new GetProcesses() bus call to the Unit object which returns an
array consisting of all PIDs, their process names, as well as their full cgroup
paths. This is then used by "systemctl status" to show the per-unit process
tree.
This has the benefit that the client-side no longer needs to access the
cgroupfs directly to show the process tree of a unit. Instead, it now uses this
new API, which means it also works if -H or -M are used correctly, as the
information from the specific host is used, and not the one from the local
system.
Fixes: #2945
This replaces the old function call manager_is_reloading_or_reexecuting() which
was used only at very few places. Use the new macro wherever we check whether
we are reloading. This should hopefully make things a bit more readable, given
the nature of Manager:n_reloading being a counter.
Previously, we had two enums ManagerRunningAs and UnitFileScope, that were
mostly identical and converted from one to the other all the time. The latter
had one more value UNIT_FILE_GLOBAL however.
Let's simplify things, and remove ManagerRunningAs and replace it by
UnitFileScope everywhere, thus making the translation unnecessary. Introduce
two new macros MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM() and MANAGER_IS_USER() to simplify checking
if we are running in one or the user context.
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
We call dual_timestamp_serialize() only if the s->watchdog_timestamp is
set. But the dual_timestamp_serialize() already checks a given dual
timestamp by the call of the dual_timestamp_is_set(). So we can remove
this check safely.
This moves the StartLimitBurst=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitAction=, RebootArgument= from the [Service] section
into the [Unit] section of unit files, and thus support it in all unit types, not just in services.
This way we can enforce the start limit much earlier, in particular before testing the unit conditions, so that
repeated start-up failure due to failed conditions is also considered for the start limit logic.
For compatibility the four options may also be configured in the [Service] section still, but we only document them in
their new section [Unit].
This also renamed the socket unit failure code "service-failed-permanent" into "service-start-limit-hit" to express
more clearly what it is about, after all it's only triggered through the start limit being hit.
Finally, the code in busname_trigger_notify() and socket_trigger_notify() is altered to become more alike.
Fixes: #2467
This makes sure we never run two control processes at the same time, we cannot keep track off.
This introduces a slight change of behaviour but cleans up the definition of ExecStop= and ExecStopPost=. The former is
now invoked only if the service managed to start-up correctly. The latter is called even if start-up failed half-way.
Thus, ExecStopPost= may be used as clean-up step for both successful and failed start-up attempts, but ExecStop='s
purpose is clearly defined as being responsible for shutting down the service and nothing else.
The precise behaviour of this was not documented yet. This commit adds the necessary docs.
Fixes: #1254
This clean-ups timeout handling in PID 1. Specifically, instead of storing 0 in internal timeout variables as
indication for a disabled timeout, use USEC_INFINITY which is in-line with how we do this in the rest of our code
(following the logic that 0 means "no", and USEC_INFINITY means "never").
This also replace all usec_t additions with invocations to usec_add(), so that USEC_INFINITY is properly propagated,
and sd-event considers it has indication for turning off the event source.
This also alters the deserialization of the units to restart timeouts from the time they were originally started from.
Before this patch timeouts would be restarted beginning with the time of the deserialization, which could lead to
artificially prolonged timeouts if a daemon reload took place.
Finally, a new RuntimeMaxSec= setting is introduced for service units, that specifies a maximum runtime after which a
specific service is forcibly terminated. This is useful to put time limits on time-intensive processing jobs.
This also simplifies the various xyz_spawn() calls of the various types in that explicit distruction of the timers is
removed, as that is done anyway by the state change handlers, and a state change is always done when the xyz_spawn()
calls fail.
Fixes: #2249
During daemon-reload, PID1 temporarly loses its DBus connection, so there's
a small window in which all signals sent by dbus-daemon are lost.
This is a problem, since we rely on the NameOwnerChanged signals in order to
consider a service with Type=dbus fully started or terminated, respectively.
In order to fix this, a rewrite of bus_list_names() is necessary. We used
to walk the current list of names on the bus, and blindly triggered the
bus_name_owner_change() callback on each service, providing the actual name
as current owner. This implementation has a number of problems:
* We cannot detect if the the name was moved from one owner to the other
while we were reloading
* We don't notify services which missed the name loss signal
* Providing the actual name as current owner is a hack, as the comment also
admits.
To fix this, this patch carries the following changes:
* Track the name of the current bus name owner, and (de-)serialize it
during reload. This way, we can detect changes.
* In bus_list_names(), walk the list of bus names we're interested in
first, and then see if the name is active on the bus. If it is,
check it it's still the same as it used to be, and synthesize
NameOwnerChanged signals for the name add and/or loss.
This should fully synchronize the current name list with the internal
state of all services.
When constructing the journal filename to store logs from a remote host, remove the port of the tcp connection, as the port will change with every reboot/connection loss between sender/reveiver machines. Having the port in the filename will cause a new journal file to be created for every reboot or connection loss.
For the implementation, a new argument "bool include_port" is added to the getpeername_pretty() function. This is passed to the sockaddr_pretty() function. The value of the include_port argument is set to true in all calls of getpeername_pretty(), except for 2 calls in journal-remote.c, where it is set to false.
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.
Now that we don't have RequiresOverridable= and RequisiteOverridable=
dependencies anymore, we can get rid of tracking the "override" boolean
for jobs in the job engine, as it serves no purpose anymore.
While we are at it, fix some error messages we print when invoking
functions that take the override parameter.
