This makes two changes to the namespacing code:
1. We'll only gracefully skip service namespacing on access failure if
exclusively sandboxing options where selected, and not mount-related
options that result in a very different view of the world. For example,
ignoring RootDirectory=, RootImage= or Bind= is really probablematic,
but ReadOnlyPaths= is just a weaker sandbox.
2. The namespacing code will now return a clearly recognizable error
code when it cannot enforce its namespacing, so that we cannot
confuse EPERM errors from mount() with those from unshare(). Only the
errors from the first unshare() are now taken as hint to gracefully
disable namespacing.

Let's fold get_user_creds_clean() into get_user_creds(), and introduce a
flags argument for it to select "clean" behaviour. This flags parameter
also learns to other new flags:
- USER_CREDS_SYNTHESIZE_FALLBACK: in this mode the user records for
root/nobody are only synthesized as fallback. Normally, the synthesized
records take precedence over what is in the user database. With this
flag set this is reversed, and the user database takes precedence, and
the synthesized records are only used if they are missing there. This
flag should be set in cases where doing NSS is deemed safe, and where
there's interest in knowing the correct shell, for example if the
admin changed root's shell to zsh or suchlike.
- USER_CREDS_ALLOW_MISSING: if set, and a UID/GID is specified by
numeric value, and there's no user/group record for it accept it
anyway. This allows us to fix#9767
This then also ports all users to set the most appropriate flags.
Fixes: #9767
[zj: remove one isempty() call]
When stdin/stdout/stderr is initialized from an fd, let's read the tty
name of it if we can, and pass that to PAM.
This makes sure that "machinectl shell" sessions have proper TTY fields
initialized that "loginctl" then shows.
Users are often surprised that "systemd-run" command lines like
"systemd-run -p User=idontexist /bin/true" will return successfully,
even though the logs show that the process couldn't be invoked, as the
user "idontexist" doesn't exist. This is because Type=simple will only
wait until fork() succeeded before returning start-up success.
This patch adds a new service type Type=exec, which is very similar to
Type=simple, but waits until the child process completed the execve()
before returning success. It uses a pipe that has O_CLOEXEC set for this
logic, so that the kernel automatically sends POLLHUP on it when the
execve() succeeded but leaves the pipe open if not. This means PID 1
waits exactly until the execve() succeeded in the child, and not longer
and not shorter, which is the desired functionality.
Making use of this new functionality, the command line
"systemd-run -p User=idontexist -p Type=exec /bin/true" will now fail,
as expected.
When process fd lists to pass to activated programs we always place the
socket activation fds first, and the storage fds last. Irritatingly in
almost all calls the "n_storage_fds" parameter (i.e. the number of
storage fds to pass) came first so far, and the "n_socket_fds" parameter
second. Let's clean this up, and specify the number of fds in the order
the fds themselves are passed.
(Also, let's fix one more case where "unsigned" was used to size an
array, while we should use "size_t" instead.)
Whenever a unit is started fresh we should flush out any runtime data
from the previous cycle. We are pretty good at that already, but what so
far we missed was the ExecStart=/ExecStop=/… command exit status data.
Let's fix that, and properly flush out that stuff too.
Consider this service:
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sleep infinity
ExecStop=/bin/false
When this service is started, then stopped and then started again
"systemctl status" would show the ExecStop= results of the previous run
along with the ExecStart= results of the current one, which is very
confusing. With this patch this is corrected: the data is kept right
until the moment the new service cycle starts, and then flushed out.
Hence "systemctl status" in that case will only show the ExecStart=
data, but no ExecStop= data, like it should be.
This should fix part of the confusion of #9588
We always initialize it from the same field in ExecCommand anyway, hence
there's no point in passing it separately to exec_spawn(), after all we
already pass the ExecCommand structure itself anyway.
No change in behaviour.
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.
This new setting is supposed to be useful in most cases where
"MountFlags=slave" is currently used, i.e. as an explicit way to run a
service in its own mount namespace and decouple propagation from all
mounts of the new mount namespace towards the host.
The effect of MountFlags=slave and PrivateMounts=yes is mostly the same,
as both cause a CLONE_NEWNS namespace to be opened, and both will result
in all mounts within it to be mounted MS_SLAVE. The difference is mostly
on the conceptual/philosophical level: configuring the propagation mode
is nothing people should have to think about, in particular as the
matter is not precisely easyto grok. Moreover, MountFlags= allows configuration
of "private" and "slave" modes which don't really make much sense to use
in real-life and are quite confusing. In particular PrivateMounts=private means
mounts made on the host stay pinned for good by the service which is
particularly nasty for removable media mount. And PrivateMounts=shared
is in most ways a NOP when used a alone...
The main technical difference between setting only MountFlags=slave or
only PrivateMounts=yes in a unit file is that the former remounts all
mounts to MS_SLAVE and leaves them there, while that latter remounts
them to MS_SHARED again right after. The latter is generally a nicer
approach, since it disables propagation, while MS_SHARED is afterwards
in effect, which is really nice as that means further namespacing down
the tree will get MS_SHARED logic by default and we unify how
applications see our mounts as we always pass them as MS_SHARED
regardless whether any mount namespacing is used or not.
The effect of PrivateMounts=yes was implied already by all the other
mount namespacing options. With this new option we add an explicit knob
for it, to request it without any other option used as well.
See: #4393
The symbolic links to private directories specified by StateDirectory=
or its friends are created on the host. So, when DynamicUser= and
RootDirectory=/RootImage= are set, then the executed process cannot
access private directory.
This makes the private directories are mounted on the non-private place
when both DynamicUser= and RootDirectory=/RootImage= are set.
Fixes#8965.
When DynamicUser= is set, then RuntimeDirectory= should be always
chowned, as the service unit may enable RuntimeDirectoryPreserve=,
and the uid or gid may changed from the last run.
This also makes easier to migrate the service to use DynamicUser=.
Previously we were a bit sloppy with the index and size types of arrays,
we'd regularly use unsigned. While I don't think this ever resulted in
real issues I think we should be more careful there and follow a
stricter regime: unless there's a strong reason not to use size_t for
array sizes and indexes, size_t it should be. Any allocations we do
ultimately will use size_t anyway, and converting forth and back between
unsigned and size_t will always be a source of problems.
Note that on 32bit machines "unsigned" and "size_t" are equivalent, and
on 64bit machines our arrays shouldn't grow that large anyway, and if
they do we have a problem, however that kind of overly large allocation
we have protections for usually, but for overflows we do not have that
so much, hence let's add it.
So yeah, it's a story of the current code being already "good enough",
but I think some extra type hygiene is better.
This patch tries to be comprehensive, but it probably isn't and I missed
a few cases. But I guess we can cover that later as we notice it. Among
smaller fixes, this changes:
1. strv_length()' return type becomes size_t
2. the unit file changes array size becomes size_t
3. DNS answer and query array sizes become size_t

Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
Re-use the hacks used to link user keyring, when creating the session
keyring. This way changing ownership of the keyring is not required, and thus
incovation_id can be correctly created in restricted environments.
Creating invocation_id with root permissions works and linking it into session
keyring works, as at that point session keyring is possessed.
Simple way to validate this is with following commands:
$ journalctl -f &
$ sudo systemd-run --uid 1000 /bin/sh -c 'keyctl describe @s; keyctl list @s; keyctl read `keyctl search @s user invocation_id`'
which now works in LXD containers as well as on the host.

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.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
This partially reverts 3536f49e8f and
3536f49e8f.
When the user is dynamic, and we are setting up state, cache, or logs dirs,
behaviour is unchanged, we always do a recursive chown. This is necessary
because the user number might change between invocations.
But when setting up a directory for non-dynamic user, or a runtime directory
for a dynamic user, do any ownership or mode changes only when the directory
is initially created. Nothing says that the files under those directories have
to be all recursively owned by our user. This restores behaviour before
3536f49e8f, so modifications to the state of
the runtime directory persist between ExecStartPre's and ExecStart's, and even
longer in case the directory is persistent.
I think it _would_ be a nice property if setting a user would automatically
propagate to ownership of any Runtime/Logs/Cache directories. But this is
incompatible with another nice property, namely preserving changes to those
directories made by an admin, and with allowing change of ownership of files
in those directories by the service (e.g. to allow other users to access them).
Of the two, I think the second property is more important. Also, it's backwards
compatible.

There is no need to chmod a directory we just created, so move that step
up into a branch. After that, 'effective' is only used once, so get rid of
it too.
This introduces a new setting TemporaryFileSystem=. This is useful
to hide files not relevant to the processes invoked by unit, while
necessary files or directories can be still accessed by combining
with Bind{,ReadOnly}Paths=.
