Both permit configuring data to pass through STDIN to an invoked
process. StandardInputText= accepts a line of text (possibly with
embedded C-style escapes as well as unit specifiers), which is appended
to the buffer to pass as stdin, followed by a single newline.
StandardInputData= is similar, but accepts arbitrary base64 encoded
data, and will not resolve specifiers or C-style escapes, nor append
newlines.
This may be used to pass input/configuration data to services, directly
in-line from unit files, either in a cooked or in a more raw format.
Right now, the option only takes one of two possible values "inactive"
or "inactive-or-failed", the former being the default, and exposing same
behaviour as the status quo ante. If set to "inactive-or-failed" units
may be collected by the GC logic when in the "failed" state too.
This logic should be a nicer alternative to using the "-" modifier for
ExecStart= and friends, as the exit data is collected and logged about
and only removed when the GC comes along. This should be useful in
particular for per-connection socket-activated services, as well as
"systemd-run" command lines that shall leave no artifacts in the
system.
I was thinking about whether to expose this as a boolean, but opted for
an enum instead, as I have the suspicion other tweaks like this might be
a added later on, in which case we extend this setting instead of having
to add yet another one.
Also, let's add some documentation for the GC logic.
And let's make use of it to implement two new unit settings with it:
1. LogLevelMax= is a new per-unit setting that may be used to configure
log priority filtering: set it to LogLevelMax=notice and only
messages of level "notice" and lower (i.e. more important) will be
processed, all others are dropped.
2. LogExtraFields= is a new per-unit setting for configuring per-unit
journal fields, that are implicitly included in every log record
generated by the unit's processes. It takes field/value pairs in the
form of FOO=BAR.
Also, related to this, one exisiting unit setting is ported to this new
facility:
3. The invocation ID is now pulled from /run/systemd/units/ instead of
cgroupfs xattrs. This substantially relaxes requirements of systemd
on the kernel version and the privileges it runs with (specifically,
cgroupfs xattrs are not available in containers, since they are
stored in kernel memory, and hence are unsafe to permit to lesser
privileged code).
/run/systemd/units/ is a new directory, which contains a number of files
and symlinks encoding the above information. PID 1 creates and manages
these files, and journald reads them from there.
Note that this is supposed to be a direct path between PID 1 and the
journal only, due to the special runtime environment the journal runs
in. Normally, today we shouldn't introduce new interfaces that (mis-)use
a file system as IPC framework, and instead just an IPC system, but this
is very hard to do between the journal and PID 1, as long as the IPC
system is a subject PID 1 manages, and itself a client to the journal.
This patch cleans up a couple of types used in journal code:
specifically we switch to size_t for a couple of memory-sizing values,
as size_t is the right choice for everything that is memory.
Fixes: #4089Fixes: #3041Fixes: #4441
Previously it was not possible to select which controllers to enable for
a unit where Delegate=yes was set, as all controllers were enabled. With
this change, this is made configurable, and thus delegation units can
pick specifically what they want to manage themselves, and what they
don't care about.
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

v2:

Usually, it's a good thing that we isolate the kernel session keyring
for the various services and disconnect them from the user keyring.
However, in case of the cryptsetup key caching we actually want that
multiple instances of the cryptsetup service can share the keys in the
root user's user keyring, hence we need to be able to disable this logic
for them.
This adds KeyringMode=inherit|private|shared:
inherit: don't do any keyring magic (this is the default in systemd --user)
private: a private keyring as before (default in systemd --system)
shared: the new setting
With this setting we can explicitly unset specific variables for
processes of a unit, as last step of assembling the environment block
for them. This is useful to fix#6407.
While we are at it, greatly expand the documentation on how the
environment block for forked off processes is assembled.
This introduces {State,Cache,Log,Configuration}Directory= those are
similar to RuntimeDirectory=. They create the directories under
/var/lib, /var/cache/, /var/log, or /etc, respectively, with the mode
specified in {State,Cache,Log,Configuration}DirectoryMode=.
This also fixes#6391.
This patch is a bit more complex thant I hoped. In particular the single
IOScheduling= property exposed on the bus is split up into
IOSchedulingClass= and IOSchedulingPriority= (though compat is
retained). Otherwise the asymmetry between setting props and getting
them is a bit too nasty.
Fixes#5613
Also called "ANSI-C Quoting" in info:(bash) ANSI-C Quoting.
The escaping rules are a POSIX proposal, and are described in
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249. There's a lot of back-and-forth on
the details of escaping of control characters, but we'll be only using a small
subset of the syntax that is common to all proposals and is widely supported.
Unfortunately dash and fish and maybe some other shells do not support it (see
the man page patch for a list).
This allows environment variables to be safely exported using show-environment
and imported into the shell. Shells which do not support this syntax will have
to do something like
export $(systemctl show-environment|grep -v '=\$')
or whatever is appropriate in their case. I think csh and fish do not support
the A=B syntax anyway, so the change is moot for them.
Fixes#5536.
v2:
- also escape newlines (which currently disallowed in shell values, so this
doesn't really matter), and tabs (as $'\t'), and ! (as $'!'). This way quoted
output can be included directly in both interactive and noninteractive bash.

This is similar to RootDirectory= but mounts the root file system from a
block device or loopback file instead of another directory.
This reuses the image dissector code now used by nspawn and
gpt-auto-discovery.
5327c910d2 claimed to add support for "+"
for prefixing paths with the configured RootDirectory=. But actually it
only implemented it in the backend, it did not add support for it to the
configuration file parsers. Fix that now.
This adds a boolean unit file setting MountAPIVFS=. If set, the three
main API VFS mounts will be mounted for the service. This only has an
effect on RootDirectory=, which it makes a ton times more useful.
(This is basically the /dev + /proc + /sys mounting code posted in the
original #4727, but rebased on current git, and with the automatic logic
replaced by explicit logic controlled by a unit file setting)
This adds two new settings BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths=. They allow
defining arbitrary bind mounts specific to particular services. This is
particularly useful for services with RootDirectory= set as this permits making
specific bits of the host directory available to chrooted services.
The two new settings follow the concepts nspawn already possess in --bind= and
--bind-ro=, as well as the .nspawn settings Bind= and BindReadOnly= (and these
latter options should probably be renamed to BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths=
too).
Fixes: #3439
In contrast to all other unit types device units when queued just track
external state, they cannot effect state changes on their own. Hence unless a
client or other job waits for them there's no reason to keep them in the job
queue. This adds a concept of GC'ing jobs of this type as soon as no client or
other job waits for them anymore.
To ensure this works correctly we need to track which clients actually
reference a job (i.e. which ones enqueued it). Unfortunately that's pretty
nasty to do for direct connections, as sd_bus_track doesn't work for
them. For now, work around this, by simply remembering in a boolean that a job
was requested by a direct connection, and reset it when we notice the direct
connection is gone. This means the GC logic works fine, except that jobs are
not immediately removed when direct connections disconnect.
In the longer term, a rework of the bus logic should fix this properly. For now
this should be good enough, as GC works for fine all cases except this one, and
thus is a clear improvement over the previous behaviour.
Fixes: #1921
This new setting permits restricting whether namespaces may be created and
managed by processes started by a unit. It installs a seccomp filter blocking
certain invocations of unshare(), clone() and setns().
RestrictNamespaces=no is the default, and does not restrict namespaces in any
way. RestrictNamespaces=yes takes away the ability to create or manage any kind
of namspace. "RestrictNamespaces=mnt ipc" restricts the creation of namespaces
so that only mount and IPC namespaces may be created/managed, but no other
kind of namespaces.
This setting should be improve security quite a bit as in particular user
namespacing was a major source of CVEs in the kernel in the past, and is
accessible to unprivileged processes. With this setting the entire attack
surface may be removed for system services that do not make use of namespaces.
This is useful to turn off explicit module load and unload operations on modular
kernels. This option removes CAP_SYS_MODULE from the capability bounding set for
the unit, and installs a system call filter to block module system calls.
This option will not prevent the kernel from loading modules using the module
auto-load feature which is a system wide operation.
Allowed paths are unified betwen the configuration file parses and the bus
property checker. The biggest change is that the bus code now allows "block-"
and "char-" classes. In addition, path_startswith("/dev") was used in the bus
code, and startswith("/dev") was used in the config file code. It seems
reasonable to use path_startswith() which allows a slightly broader class of
strings.
Fixes#3935.
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.
core: add cgroup CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy
(zj: merging not squashing to make it clear against which upstream this patch was developed.)
Unfortunately, due to the disagreements in the kernel development community,
CPU controller cgroup v2 support has not been merged and enabling it requires
applying two small out-of-tree kernel patches. The situation is explained in
the following documentation.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git/tree/Documentation/cgroup-v2-cpu.txt?h=cgroup-v2-cpu
While it isn't clear what will happen with CPU controller cgroup v2 support,
there are critical features which are possible only on cgroup v2 such as
buffered write control making cgroup v2 essential for a lot of workloads. This
commit implements systemd CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy so
that users who choose to deploy CPU controller cgroup v2 support can easily
take advantage of it.
On the unified hierarchy, "cpu.weight" knob replaces "cpu.shares" and "cpu.max"
replaces "cpu.cfs_period_us" and "cpu.cfs_quota_us". [Startup]CPUWeight config
options are added with the usual compat translation. CPU quota settings remain
unchanged and apply to both legacy and unified hierarchies.
v2: - Error in man page corrected.
- CPU config application in cgroup_context_apply() refactored.
- CPU accounting now works on unified hierarchy.
This adds parse_nice() that parses a nice level and ensures it is in the right
range, via a new nice_is_valid() helper. It then ports over a number of users
to this.
No functional changes.
This setting adds minimal user namespacing support to a service. When set the invoked
processes will run in their own user namespace. Only a trivial mapping will be
set up: the root user/group is mapped to root, and the user/group of the
service will be mapped to itself, everything else is mapped to nobody.
If this setting is used the service runs with no capabilities on the host, but
configurable capabilities within the service.
This setting is particularly useful in conjunction with RootDirectory= as the
need to synchronize /etc/passwd and /etc/group between the host and the service
OS tree is reduced, as only three UID/GIDs need to match: root, nobody and the
user of the service itself. But even outside the RootDirectory= case this
setting is useful to substantially reduce the attack surface of a service.
Example command to test this:
systemd-run -p PrivateUsers=1 -p User=foobar -t /bin/sh
This runs a shell as user "foobar". When typing "ps" only processes owned by
"root", by "foobar", and by "nobody" should be visible.
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
That way, we can neatly keep this in line with the new TasksMaxScale= option.
Note that we didn't release a version with MemoryLimitByPhysicalMemory= yet,
hence this change should be unproblematic without breaking API.
This adds support for a TasksMax=40% syntax for specifying values relative to
the system's configured maximum number of processes. This is useful in order to
neatly subdivide the available room for tasks within containers.
This patch renames Read{Write,Only}Directories= and InaccessibleDirectories=
to Read{Write,Only}Paths= and InaccessiblePaths=, previous names are kept
as aliases but they are not advertised in the documentation.
Renamed variables:
`read_write_dirs` --> `read_write_paths`
`read_only_dirs` --> `read_only_paths`
`inaccessible_dirs` --> `inaccessible_paths`
The unit files already accept relative, percent-based memory limit
specification, let's make sure "systemctl set-property" support this too.
Since we want the physical memory size of the destination machine to apply we
pass the percentage in a new set of properties that only exist for this
purpose, and can only be set.
New exec boolean MemoryDenyWriteExecute, when set, installs
a seccomp filter to reject mmap(2) with PAGE_WRITE|PAGE_EXEC
and mprotect(2) with PAGE_EXEC.
Recently added cgroup unified hierarchy support uses "max" in configurations
for no upper limit. While consistent with what the kernel uses for no upper
limit, it is inconsistent with what systemd uses for other controllers such as
memory or pids. There's no point in introducing another term. Update cgroup
unified hierarchy support so that "infinity" is the only term that systemd
uses for no upper limit.
On the unified hierarchy, memory controller implements three control knobs -
low, high and max which enables more useable and versatile control over memory
usage. This patch implements support for the three control knobs.
* MemoryLow, MemoryHigh and MemoryMax are added for memory.low, memory.high and
memory.max, respectively.
* As all absolute limits on the unified hierarchy use "max" for no limit, make
memory limit parse functions accept "max" in addition to "infinity" and
document "max" for the new knobs.
* Implement compatibility translation between MemoryMax and MemoryLimit.
v2:
- Fixed missing else's in config_parse_memory_limit().
- Fixed missing newline when writing out drop-ins.
- Coding style updates to use "val > 0" instead of "val".
- Minor updates to documentation.
We have to pass addresses of changes and n_changes to
bus_deserialize_and_dump_unit_file_changes(). Otherwise we are hit by
missing information (subsequent calls to unit_file_changes_add() to
not add anything).
Also prevent null pointer dereference in
bus_deserialize_and_dump_unit_file_changes() by asserting.
Fixes#3339
Currently, there are two cgroup IO limits, bandwidth max for read and write,
and they are hard-coded in various places. This is fine for two limits but IO
is expected to grow more limits - low, high and max limits for bandwidth and
IOPS - and hard-coding each limit won't make sense.
This patch replaces hard-coded limits with an array indexed by
CGroupIOLimitType and accompanying string and default value tables so that new
limits can be added trivially.
That function doesn't draw anything on it's own, just returns a string, which
sometimes is more than one character. Also remove "DRAW_" prefix from character
names, TREE_* and ARROW and BLACK_CIRCLE are unambigous on their own, don't
draw anything, and are always used as an argument to special_glyph().
Rename "DASH" to "MDASH", as there's more than one type of dash.
On the unified hierarchy, blkio controller is renamed to io and the interface
is changed significantly.
* blkio.weight and blkio.weight_device are consolidated into io.weight which
uses the standardized weight range [1, 10000] with 100 as the default value.
* blkio.throttle.{read|write}_{bps|iops}_device are consolidated into io.max.
Expansion of throttling features is being worked on to support
work-conserving absolute limits (io.low and io.high).
* All stats are consolidated into io.stats.
This patchset adds support for the new interface. As the interface has been
revamped and new features are expected to be added, it seems best to treat it
as a separate controller rather than trying to expand the blkio settings
although we might add automatic translation if only blkio settings are
specified.
* io.weight handling is mostly identical to blkio.weight[_device] handling
except that the weight range is different.
* Both read and write bandwidth settings are consolidated into
CGroupIODeviceLimit which describes all limits applicable to the device.
This makes it less painful to add new limits.
* "max" can be used to specify the maximum limit which is equivalent to no
config for max limits and treated as such. If a given CGroupIODeviceLimit
doesn't contain any non-default configs, the config struct is discarded once
the no limit config is applied to cgroup.
* lookup_blkio_device() is renamed to lookup_block_device().

The "resources" error is really just the generic error we return when
we hit some kind of error and we have no more appropriate error for the case to
return, for example because of some OS error.
Hence, reword the explanation and don't claim any relation to resource limits.
Admittedly, the "resources" service error is a bit of a misnomer, but I figure
it's kind of API now.
Fixes: #2716
Previously we'd have generally useful sd-bus utilities in bust-util.h,
intermixed with code that is specifically for writing clients for PID 1,
wrapping job and unit handling. Let's split the latter out and move it into
bus-unit-util.c, to make the sources a bit short and easier to grok.
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.
