This is useful for development where overwriting files out side
the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless
systems such as NixOS that don't let packages install to /etc but handle
configuration on their own.

With the grandparent change to move most units to app.slice,
those units would be ordered After=app.slice which doesn't make any sense.
Actually they appear earlier, before the manager is even started, and
conceputally it doesn't seem useful to put them under any slice.
... when called with a valid environment variable name. This means that
any time we call it with a fixed string, it is guaranteed to return 0.
(Also when the variable is not present in the environment block.)
FixedRandomDelay=yes will use
`siphash24(sd_id128_get_machine() || MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM(m) || getuid() || u->id)`,
where || is concatenation, instead of a random number to choose a value between
0 and RandomizedDelaySec= as the timer delay.
This essentially sets up a fixed, but seemingly random, offset for each timer
iteration rather than having a random offset recalculated each time it fires.

This beefs up the READ_FULL_FILE_CONNECT_SOCKET logic of
read_full_file_full() a bit: when used a sender socket name may be
specified. If specified as NULL behaviour is as before: the client
socket name is picked by the kernel. But if specified as non-NULL the
client can pick a socket name to use when connecting. This is useful to
communicate a minimal amount of metainformation from client to server,
outside of the transport payload.
Specifically, these beefs up the service credential logic to pass an
abstract AF_UNIX socket name as client socket name when connecting via
READ_FULL_FILE_CONNECT_SOCKET, that includes the requesting unit name
and the eventual credential name. This allows servers implementing the
trivial credential socket logic to distinguish clients: via a simple
getpeername() it can be determined which unit is requesting a
credential, and which credential specifically.
Example: with this patch in place, in a unit file "waldo.service" a
configuration line like the following:
LoadCredential=foo:/run/quux/creds.sock
will result in a connection to the AF_UNIX socket /run/quux/creds.sock,
originating from an abstract namespace AF_UNIX socket:
@$RANDOM/unit/waldo.service/foo
(The $RANDOM is replaced by some randomized string. This is included in
the socket name order to avoid namespace squatting issues: the abstract
socket namespace is open to unprivileged users after all, and care needs
to be taken not to use guessable names)
The services listening on the /run/quux/creds.sock socket may thus
easily retrieve the name of the unit the credential is requested for
plus the credential name, via a simpler getpeername(), discarding the
random preifx and the /unit/ string.
This logic uses "/" as separator between the fields, since both unit
names and credential names appear in the file system, and thus are
designed to use "/" as outer separators. Given that it's a good safe
choice to use as separators here, too avoid any conflicts.
This is a minimal patch only: the new logic is used only for the unit
file credential logic. For other places where we use
READ_FULL_FILE_CONNECT_SOCKET it is probably a good idea to use this
scheme too, but this should be done carefully in later patches, since
the socket names become API that way, and we should determine the right
amount of info to pass over.
This adds a way to control SO_TIMESTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMPNS socket options
for sockets PID 1 binds to.
This is useful in journald so that we get proper timestamps even for
ingress log messages that are submitted before journald is running.
We recently turned on packet info metadata from PID 1 for these sockets,
but the timestamping info was still missing. Let's correct that.
If processes remain in the unit's cgroup after the final SIGKILL is
sent and the unit has exceeded stop timeout, don't release the unit's
cgroup information. Pid1 will have failed to `rmdir` the cgroup path due
to processes remaining in the cgroup and releasing would leave the cgroup
path on the file system with no tracking for pid1 to clean it up.
Instead, keep the information around until the last process exits and pid1
sends the cgroup empty notification. The service/scope can then prune
the cgroup if the unit is inactive/failed.
This changes the default from putting all units into the root slice to
placing them into the app slice in the user manager. The advantage is
that we get the right behaviour in most cases, and we'll need special
case handling in all other cases anyway.
Note that we have currently defined that applications *should* start
their unit names with app-, so we could also move only these by creating
a drop-in for app-.scope and app-.service.
However, that would not answer the question on how we should manage
session.slice. And we would end up placing anything that does not fit
the system (e.g. anything started by dbus-broker currently) into the
root slice.

In fact any of the services that we try to start may fail, especially
considering that we're doing some rogue cgroup operations. See

sync() before committing a transient machine-id to disk. This will
ensure that any filesystem changes made by first-boot units will have
been persisted before the first boot is marked as completed.
Currently, a loss of power after the machine-id was written but before
all units with ConditionFirstBoot=yes ran would lead to the next boot
finding a valid machine-id, thus not being marked first boot and not
re-running these units.
To make the first boot mechanism more robust, instead of writing
/etc/machine-id very early, fill it with a marker value "uninitialized"
and overmount it with a transiently provisioned machine-id. Then, after
the first boots completes (when systemd-machine-id-commit.service runs),
write the real machine-id to disk.
This mechanism is of course only invoked on first boot. If a first boot
is not detected, the machine-id is handled as previously.
Fixes: #4511
When /etc/machine-id contains the string "uninitialized" instead of
a valid machine-id, treat this like the file was missing and mark this
boot as the first (-> units with ConditionFirstBoot=yes will run).
let's add informational logging about each client requested signal
sending. While we are at, let's beef up error handling/log messages in
this case quite a bit: let's log errors both to syslog and report errors
back to client.
Fixes: #17254
--kill-who=main-fail never worked correctly, due to a copy and paste
mistake in ac5e3a505e, where the same item
was listed twice. The mistake was
later noticed, but fixed incorrectly, in
201f0c916d.
Let's list all *-fail types correctly, finally.
And while we are at it, add a nice comment and generate a prettier D-Bus
error about this.
Let's mark the whole /run/host hierarchy as something to ignore by PID 1
for generation of .mount units, i.e. consider it as "extrinsic".
By unifying container mgr supplied resources in one dir it's also easy
to exclude the whole lot from PID1's management inside the container.
This is the right thing to do, since from the payload's PoV these mounts
are just API and not manipulatable as they are established, managed and
owned by the container manager, not the payload.
(While we are it, also add the boot ID mount to the existing list, as
nspawn and other container managers overmount that too, typically, and
it is thus owned by the container manager and not the payload
typically.)
We don't (and shouldn't I think) look at them when determining the type of the
user, but they should be used during user/group allocation. (For example, an
admin may specify SYS_UID_MIN==200 to allow statically numbered users that are
shared with other systems in the range 1–199.)
