Until a core dump handler is installed by systemd-sysctl, the generation of
core dump for services is turned OFF which can make the debugging of the early
boot process harder especially since there's no easy way to restore the core
dump generation.
This patch introduces a new kernel command line option which specifies an
absolute path where the kernel should write the core dump file when an early
process crashes.
This will take effect until systemd-coredump (or any other handlers) takes
over.
let's add an env var for this, as this really shouldn't be a top-level
feature, as it turning off the validity checks certainly isn't
advisable.
Fixes: #4925
/etc/systemd/sleep.conf gains four new switches:
AllowSuspend=, AllowHibernation=, AllowSuspendThenHibernate=, AllowHybridSleep=.
Disabling specific modes was already possible by masking suspend.target,
hibernate.target, suspend-then-hibernate.target, or hybrid-sleep.target.
But this is not convenient for distributions, which want to set some defaults
based on what they want to support. Having those available as configuration
makes it easy to put a config file in /usr/lib/systemd/sleep.conf.d/ that
overrides the defaults and gives instructions how to undo that override.
The behaviour described *was* observed on Fedora 28
(systemd-238-9.git0e0aa59), with and without SELinux. I don't actually
know why though! It contradicts my understanding of the code, including an
explicit comment in the code.
Testing in a VM upgraded to v239-792-g1327f272d, this behaviour goes away.
Test case:
# /etc/systemd/system/mount-test.service
[Service]
MountFlags=shared
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ls -l /proc/1/ns/mnt /proc/self/ns/mnt
ExecStart=/usr/bin/grep ext4 /proc/self/mountinfo

It is very useful for distributions to be able to set a primary
documentation URL in a standard location so that users and
applications on the system can identify it. For example, many
headless systems these days use the "Cockpit" admin console. It
would be ideal if we could specify this location directly in the
os-release file so that any application or service could have a
well-known location for retrieving this and displaying it
appropriately. Users could likewise examine /etc/os-release to
learn this location.

Let's remove redundancy and not advertise "journalctl --new-id128"
anymore, now that we have "systemd-id128 new" in a proper tool.
This allows us to reduce the overly large journalctl command set a bit.
Note that this just removes the --help and man text, the call remains
available for compat reasons.
The raison d'etre for this program is printing machine-app-specific IDs. We
provide a library function for that, but not a convenient API. We can hardly
ask people to quickly hack their own C programs or call libsystemd through CFFI
in python or another scripting language if they just want to print an ID.
Verb 'new' was already available as 'journalctl --new-id128', but this makes
it more discoverable.
v2:
- rename binary to systemd-id128
- make --app-specific= into a switch that applies to boot-id and machine-id
Allows configuring the watchdog signal (with a default of SIGABRT).
This allows an alternative to SIGABRT when coredumps are not desirable.
Appropriate references to SIGABRT or aborting were renamed to reflect
more liberal watchdog signals.
Closes#8658
This is an implementation that covers making errors encountered when writing
file content optionally fatal. If this is something that folks would want I'll
add handling of this for all the other directives. I'd appreciate suggestions
on how this might better be structured as well (use of a goto fail or such) as
I'm not super happy with the approach.
This changes the output a bit, as the previous multi-line output of each
inhibitor is changed to a single line, but it does unify the output look
with the one of our other tools. Moreover this adds proper sorting.
RFC 7084, WPD-4, requires Customer Edge end routers to behave
according to the following:
"WPD-4: By default, the IPv6 CE router MUST initiate DHCPv6 prefix
delegation when either the M or O flags are set to 1 in a
received Router Advertisement (RA) message. Behavior of the
CE router to use DHCPv6 prefix delegation when the CE router
has not received any RA or received an RA with the M and the
O bits set to zero is out of scope for this document."
Since it cannot be automatically detected whether DHCPv6 is to be
operated as an CE end router or whether to initiate an Informational
exchange to obtain other useful network information via DHCPv6 when the
Router Advertisement 'O' bit is set, a 'ForceDHCPv6PDOtherInformation'
boolean network configuration option in the '[DHCP]' section of a is
introduced. Setting this option causes DHCPv6 to be started in stateful
mode, although only the 'O' bit is seen in the Router Advertisement.
When 'ForceDHCPv6PDOtherInformation' is set and the Router Advertisement
has only the Other information 'O' bit set, disable requests for IA_NA
addresses.
Fixes#9745.
That recommendation is likely to cause more trouble and for pretty
much all end-user units is not useful. Let's recommend relying on
the implicit dependency instead.
Fixes#10015.
Dracut has a support for unlocking encrypted drives with keyfile stored
on the external drive. This support is included in the generated initrd
only if systemd module is not included.
When systemd is used in initrd then attachment of encrypted drives is
handled by systemd-cryptsetup tools. Our generator has support for
keyfile, however, it didn't support keyfile on the external block
device (keydev).
This commit introduces basic keydev support. Keydev can be specified per
luks.uuid on the kernel command line. Keydev is automatically mounted
during boot and we look for keyfile in the keydev
mountpoint (i.e. keyfile path is prefixed with the keydev mount point
path). After crypt device is attached we automatically unmount
where keyfile resides.
Example:
rd.luks.key=70bc876b-f627-4038-9049-3080d79d2165=/key:LABEL=KEYDEV
For an example where we already use it, see man:sd-login(3):
> A session is defined by the time a user is logged in until they log out.
As far as I can tell, this removes the only remaining occurrences of
referring to users by gendered pronouns in our documentation (though
some still survive in code comments and the NEWS and TODO files):
git grep '\b\(he\|him\|his\|she\|her\|hers\)\b' man/
You can only have one listitem in each varlistentry.
xmllint says:
resolvectl.xml:269: element varlistentry: validity error : Element varlistentry content does not follow the DTD, expecting (term+ , listitem), got (term term term term term term term listitem listitem listitem )
Without this fix, udev(7) munges the two items together, like so:
ATTR{filename}, SYSCTL{kernel parameter}
Match sysfs attribute values of the event device. Trailing
whitespace in the attribute values is ignored unless the specified
match value itself contains trailing whitespace. Match a kernel
parameter value.
You're not allowed to have a <term> element after a <listitem> element within a
<varlistentry>.
xmllint complains:
udev.xml:192: element varlistentry: validity error : Element varlistentry content does not follow the DTD, expecting (term+ , listitem), got (term listitem term listitem )
This work add support to generic netlink to sd-netlink.

The qgroup logic (types 'q' and 'Q') only has an effect if there's no previous
setup at all, and any explicitly configured subvolumes with their qgroups are
left entirely unmodified.
The idea is that if users want a different logic than the one we set up by
default, then by all means they should do that before hand, and tmpfiles won't
override their logic.
This makes it possible to wait until boot is finished without having to poll
for this command repeatedly, instead using the syntax:
$ systemctl is-system-running --wait
Waiting is implemented by waiting for the StartupFinished signal to be posted
on the bus.
Register the matcher before checking for the property to avoid race conditions.
Tested by artificially delaying startup with a oneshot service and calling this
command, checked that it emitted `running` and exited with a 0 return code as
soon as the delay service completed startup.
Also tested that booting to degraded state unblocks the command.
Inserted a delay between getting the property and waiting for the signal and
confirmed this seems to work free of race conditions.
Updated the --help text (under --wait) and the man page to document the new
feature.
RootImage= may require the following settings
```
DeviceAllow=/dev/loop-control rw
DeviceAllow=block-loop rwm
DeviceAllow=block-blkext rwm
```
This adds the following settings implicitly when RootImage= is
specified.

This adds two generic paragaphs we include via xinclude. One is the
"strict" version, which contains wording saying that we are thread
agnostic and what that means. And the other is the "safe" version, for
the cases we provide fully safety.
Let's then change most man pages to use either of these generic
paragraphs. With one exception: man/sd_journal_get_catalog.xml contains
both kinds of function, we hence use manual wording.
sd_bus_message{get_type,is_signal,is_method_call,is_method_error} get one man
page.
sd_bus_message_{set,get}_{destination,path,interface,member,sender} are put in
the second one.
Moving them out makes it easier to run them through a compiler, use automatic
indentation, and opens the possibility to provide a download link in the
future. I verified that all examples compile cleanly.
(2-space indentation is used because the examples are already significantly
indented in the man page, and we need to keep them narrow so that they display
well on standard terminals.)
Meson does not care either way, so let's use the simpler syntax. And files()
already gives a list, so nesting this in a list wouldn't be necessary even
if meson did not flatten everything.
And while we are at it, let's rearrange and extend the Type=
documentation a bit. Let's make it an itemized list, and let's add a
paragraph explaining which type best to use.
1. Document the new desktop= parameter
2. Clarify that we set XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, XDG_SESSION_CLASS,
XDG_SESSION_TYPE if we have the data, and don't just read it.
After upgrading to emacs-26.1-1.fc28.x86_64 I noticed that our
.dir-locals.el files weren't honoured anymore (specifically the fill
column variable is not correctly set for c-mode files). I finally
tracked this down to the order in which items are listed in
.dir-locals.el: if the "nil" one is listed last everything works,
otherwise, it's the one that is applied instead of the c-mode one.
This patch simply swaps the entries, and puts the "nil" one last. My
emacs lisp fu is a bit too limited to understand the full impact for
this, and why emacs 26.1 changed behaviour in this regard, but from an
outsider's view the order shouldn't negatively affect things otherwise,
hence this patch.
This adds -Dnss-resolve= and -Dnss-mymachines= meson options.
By using this option, e.g., resolved can be built without nss-resolve.
When no nss modules are built, then test-nss is neither built.
Also, This changes the option name -Dmyhostname= to -Dnss-myhostname=
for consistency to other nss related options.
Closes#9596.
Usecase is to allow changing the final kill from SIGKILL to SIGQUIT which
should create a core dump useful for debugging why the service didn't stop
with the SIGTERM
User units were in the middle, which is just confusing. Let's discuss
all system units first, and all user units second.
I'm using "System manager units" and "user manager units" instead of the more
obvious "system units" and "user units", because there are also units like
"user@.service".
The original manpage says "Implies BBBAccounting" many times but actually that accounting is not implied by the respective resource control in v239 with the unified cgroup hierarchy. This commit removes those false explanations.
The current CLI does not support a way to clear these lists, since without any
additional arguments, the command will list the current values.
Introduce a new way to clear the lists by passing a single '' argument to these
subcommands.
Update the man page to document this.
Tested:
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1
Link 3 (eth1): ~.
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1 ''
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1
Link 3 (eth1):
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1 '~.' '~example.com'
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1
Link 3 (eth1): ~. ~example.com
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1 ''
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1
Link 3 (eth1):
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1 '~.'
$ build/resolvectl domain eth1
Link 3 (eth1): ~.
And similar for "dns" and "nta".
Back in 2012 the project was renamed, see the release notes for v 0.105
[https://cgit.freedesktop.org/polkit/tree/NEWS#n754]. Let's update our
documentation and comments to do the same. Referring to PolicyKit is confusing
to users because at the time the polkit api changed too, and we support the new
version. I updated NEWS too, since all the references to PolicyKit there were
added after the rename.
"PolicyKit" is unchanged in various URLs and method call names.
The kernel added support for a new cgroup memory controller knob memory.min in
bf8d5d52ffe8 ("memcg: introduce memory.min") which was merged during v4.18
merge window.
Add MemoryMin to support memory.min.
Use <literallayout> to keep each reference on a separate line. With all the
pages jumbled together into a paragraph, it is quite hard to find anything in
that list.
Also add the missing pages to the list. And remove the nonexistent ones — not
much point in advertisting pages that haven't been written yet.
This is useful if someone wants to recreate the original syslog datagram. We
already include timestamp information as _SOURCE_REALTIME_TIMESTAMP=, and in
normal use that timestamp, converted back to the form used by syslog
(Mth dd HH:MM:SS) would usually give the value. But there are various
circumstances where this might not be true. Most obviously, if the datagram is
sent a bit later after being prepared, the time is rounded to the nearest
second, and it might be off. This is especially bad around New Year when the
syslog timestamp wraps around. Then the same timezone and locale need to be
used to recreate the original timestamp. In the end doing this reliably is
complicated, and it seems much easier to just unconditionally include the
original timestamp.
If the original timestamp cannot be located, we store the full log line.
This way, it should be always possible to recreate the original input.
Example:
MESSAGE=x
SYSLOG_TIMESTAMP=Sep 15 15:07:58
SYSLOG_RAW
^]^@^@^@^@^@^@^@<13>Sep 15 15:07:58 HOST: x^@y
_PID=3318
_SOURCE_REALTIME_TIMESTAMP=1530743976393553
Fixes#2398.
One mention of --user was missing the surrounding <option> tag, making
the table look inconsistent (though the inconsistency is less obvious
after the reordering in 709f4c472c, since the four specifiers mentioning
the --user option are no longer immediately adjacent).
nspawn as it is now is a generally useful tool, hence let's drop the
comments about it being useful for debug and so on only.
The new wording just makes the first sentence of the main page also the
summary.
Similar semantics applies to {System,Runtime}MaxUse= as to
{System,Runtime}MaxFiles=, i.e. active files aren't vacuumed and the limit
is not thus strictly honored.
