This makes hibernation unavailable if the kernel image we are currently
running was removed. This is supposed to be superficial protection
against hibernating a system we can never return from because the kernel
has been updated and the kernel we currently run is not available
anymore.
We look at a couple of places for the kernel, which should cover all
distributions I know off. Should I have missed a path I am sure people
will quickly notice and we can add more places to check. (or maybe
convince those distros to stick their kernels at a standard place)
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
They are not needed, because anything that is non-zero is converted
to true.

Externally it's an uint64_t anyway, and internally we most just
initialize it to physical_memory() which returns uint64_t, hence there's
exactly zero value in using it as size_t internally. Hence, let's fix
that, and use uint64_t everywhere.
This removes the UserTasksMax= setting in logind.conf. Instead, the generic
TasksMax= setting on the slice should be used. Instead of a transient unit we
use a drop-in to tweak the default definition of a .slice. It's better to use
the normal unit mechanisms instead of creating units on the fly. This will also
make it easier to start user@.service independently of logind, or set
additional settings like MemoryMax= for user slices.
The setting in logind is removed, because otherwise we would have two sources
of "truth": the slice on disk and the logind config. Instead of trying to
coordinate those two sources of configuration (and maintainer overrides to
both), let's just convert to the new one fully.
Right now now automatic transition mechanism is provided. logind will emit a
hint when it encounters the setting, but otherwise it will be ignored.
Fixes#2556.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.

Failed to hibernate system via logind: Not enough swap space for hibernation
Fixes#6729.
If hibernate.target is masked, and systemctl hibernate is invoked, havoc ensues.
logind starts the hibernation operation, but then doesn't go through with it;
gnome-shell segfaults. Let's be nice to the user and refuse doing anything in
that case.

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.
When we are attempting to create directory somewhere in the bowels of /var/lib
and get an error that it already exists, it can be quite hard to diagnose what
is wrong (especially for a user who is not aware that the directory must have
the specified owner, and permissions not looser than what was requested). Let's
print a warning in most cases. A warning is appropriate, because such state is
usually a sign of borked installation and needs to be resolved by the adminstrator.

No functional change except for the new log lines.
Suspend to Hibernate is a new sleep method that invokes suspend
for a predefined period of time before automatically waking up
and hibernating the system.
It's similar to HybridSleep however there isn't a performance
impact on every suspend cycle.
It's intended to use with systems that may have a higher power
drain in their supported suspend states to prevent battery and
data loss over an extended suspend cycle.

The code had a gap. user@.service is a special case PAM session which does
not create a logind session. Let's remember to check for it.
Fixes#8021
This is an attempt to improve #8228 a bit, by extending the /run/nologin
a bit, but still keeping it somewhat brief.
On purpose I used the vague wording "unprivileged user" rather than
"non-root user" so that pam_nologin can be updated to disable its
behaviour for members of the "wheel" group one day, and our messages
would still make sense.
See #8228.
This usually is very annoying to users who then cannot log in, so
make sure we always warn if that happens (selinux, or whatever other reason).
This reverts a790812cb3.
This change adds support for controlling the suspend-on-lid-close
behaviour based on the power status as well as whether the machine is
docked or has an external monitor. For backwards compatibility the new
configuration file variable is ignored completely by default, and must
be set explicitly before being considered in any decisions.
If for some reason we can't query the firmware state, don't propagate
that to clients, but instead log about it, and claim that
reboot-to-firmware is not available (which is the right answer, since it
is not working).
Let's log about this though, as this is certainly relevant to know, even
though not for the client.
SetLinger is authorized by the PolicyKit action "set-self-linger", if it is
not passed an explicit UID.
According to comments we were determining the default UID from the client's
session. However, user processes e.g. which are run from a terminal
emulator do not necessarily belong to a session scope unit. They may
equally be started from the systemd user manager [1][2]. Actually the
comment was wrong, and it would also have worked for processes
started from the systemd user manager.
Nevertheless it seems to involve fetching "augmented credentials" i.e.
it's using a racy method, so we shouldn't have been authenticating based
on it.
We could change the default UID, but that raises issues especially for
consistency between the methods. Instead we can just use the clients
effective UID for authorization.
This commit also fixes `loginctl enable-linger $USER` to match the docs
that say it was equivalent to `loginctl enable-linger` (given that $USER
matches the callers user and owner_uid). Previously, the former would not
have suceeded for unpriviliged users in the default configuration.
[1] It seems the main meaning of per-session scopes is tracking the PAM
login process. Killing that provokes logind to revoke device access. Less
circularly, killing it provokes getty to hangup the TTY.
[2] User units may be started with an environment which includes
XDG_SESSION_ID (presuambly GNOME does this?). Or not.
The manpages tell that such calls have quite limited meaning. logind has
a few in the implementation of what remains of the session concept.
At the same time, logind basically exposes sd_pid_get_session() as public
API. This is absolutely required, to retain compatability e.g. with Xorg.
But client code will work in more situations if it avoids assuming that it
runs in a session itself.
Its use inside the login session could be replaced with $XDG_SESSION_ID
(which pam_systemd sets). I don't know whether it would be useful to
change Xorg at this point or not. But if you were building something new,
you would think about whether you want to support running it in a systemd
service.
Comment these logind API features, acknowledging the reason they exist is
based in history. I.e. help readers avoid drawing implications from their
existence which apply to history, but not the current general case.
Finally, searching these revealed a call to sd_pid_get_session() in
implementing some types of logind inhibitors. So these inhibitors don't
work as intended when taken from inside a systemd user service :(. Comment
this as well, deferring it as ticket #6852.
If you try to run `loginctl user-status` on a non-logged in user to see
whether "Linger" is enabled, it doesn't work.
If you're already an expert in logind, the fact that the user is considered
unknown actually tells you the user is not lingering. So, probably they
they do not have lingering enabled. I think we can point towards this
without being misleading.
I also reword it because I thought it was slightly confusing to run
`loginctl user-status root` and get an error back about "User 0". Try to
be more specific, that it is "User ID 0".
GetSessionByPID(0) can fail with NO_SESSION_FOR_PID. More obscurely, if
the session is abandoned, it can return NO_SUCH_SESSION. It is not clear
that the latter was intended. The message associated with the former,
hints that this was overlooked.
We don't have a document enumerating the errors. Any specific
error-handling in client code, e.g. translated messages, would also be
liable to overlook the more obscure error code.
I can't see any equivalent condition for GetUserByPID(0). On the other
hand, the code did not return NO_USER_FOR_PID where it probably should.
The relevant code is right next to that for GetSessionByPID(0), so it will
be simpler to understand if both follow the same pattern.
This adds new method calls Halt() and CanHalt() to the logind bus APIs.
They aren't overly useful (as the whole concept of halting isn't really
too useful), however they clean up one major asymmetry: currently, using
the "shutdown" legacy commands it is possibly to enqueue a "halt"
operation through logind, while logind officially doesn't actually
support this. Moreover, the path through "shutdown" currently ultimately
fails, since the referenced "halt" action isn't actually defined in
PolicyKit.
Finally, the current logic results in an unexpected asymmetry in
systemctl: "systemctl poweroff", "systemctl reboot" are currently
asynchronous (due to the logind involvement) while "systemctl halt"
isnt. Let's clean this up, and make all three APIs implemented by
logind natively, and all three hence asynchronous in "systemctl".
Moreover, let's add the missing PK action.
Fixes: #6957
This reverts commit ee043777be.
It broke almost everywhere it touched. The places that
handn't been converted, were mostly followed by special
handling for the invalid PID `0`. That explains why they
tested for `pid < 0` instead of `pid <= 0`.
I think that one was the first commit I reviewed, heh.
Following commit b498d6ea, I belated realized we should tighten the
assertions as well, to make sure that we're setting `m->action_what` to
represent an action in progress. (The check for an action in progress is
to compare `m->action_what` to zero)
