When a network namespace is needed, /sys is mounted as tmpfs (see commit
d8fc6a000f for details).
But in this case mode 755 was used as initial permissions for /sys whereas the
default mode for sysfs is 555.
In practice using 755 doesn't have any impact because /sys is mounted read-only
too but for consistency, let's use the correct mode.
Fixes: #10050
Currently, mount_sysfs() only creates /sys/fs/cgroup if cg_ns_supported().
The comment explains that we need to "Create mountpoint for
cgroups. Otherwise we are not allowed since we remount /sys read-only.";
that is: that we need to do it now, rather than later. However, the
comment doesn't do anything to explain why we only need to do this if
cg_ns_supported(); shouldn't we _always_ need to do it?
The answer is that if !use_cgns, then this was already done by the outer
child, so mount_sysfs() only needs to do it if use_cgns. Now,
mount_sysfs() doesn't know whether use_cgns, but !cg_ns_supported() implies
!use_cgns, so we can optimize" the case where we _know_ !use_cgns, and deal
with a no-op mkdir_p() in the false-positive where cgns_supported() but
!use_cgns.
But is it really much of an optimization? We're potentially spending an
access(2) (cg_ns_supported() could be cached from a previous call) to
potentially save an lstat(2) and mkdir(2); and all of them are on virtual
fileystems, so they should all be pretty cheap.
So, simplify and drop the conditional. It's a dubious optimization that
requires more text to explain than it's worth.
One of the things that tmpfs_patch_options does is take an (optional) UID,
and insert "uid=${UID},gid=${UID}" into the options string. So we need a
uid_t argument, and a way of telling if we should use it. Fortunately,
that is built in to the uid_t type by having UID_INVALID as a possible
value.
So this is really a feature that requires one argument. Yet, it is somehow
taking 4! That is absurd. Simplify it to only take one argument, and have
that trickle all the way up to mount_all()'s usage.
Now, in may of the uses, the argument becomes
uid_shift == 0 ? UID_INVALID : uid_shift
because it used to treat uid_shift=0 as invalid unless the patch_ids flag
was also set. This keeps the behavior the same. Note that in all cases
where it is invoked, if !use_userns (sometimes called !userns), then
uid_shift is 0; we don't have to add any checks for that.
That said, I'm pretty sure that "uid=0" and not setting "uid=" are the
same, but Christian Brauner seemed to not think so when implementing the
cgns support. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3589
One of the things that mkdir_userns{,_p}() does is take an (optional) UID,
and chown the directory to that. So we need a uid_t argument, and a way of
telling if we should use that uid_t argument. Fortunately, that is built
in to the uid_t type by having UID_INVALID as a possible value.
However, currently mkdir_userns() also takes a MountSettingsMask and checks
a couple of bits in it to decide if it should perform the chown.
Drop the mask argument, and instead have the caller pass UID_INVALID if it
shouldn't chown.
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 tightens security on /proc: a couple of files exposed there are now
made inaccessible. These files might potentially leak kernel internals
or expose non-virtualized concepts, hence lock them down by default.
Moreover, a couple of dirs in /proc that expose stuff also exposed in
/sys are now marked read-only, similar to how we handle /sys.
The list is taken from what docker/runc based container managers
generally apply, but slightly extended.
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.
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)
There isn't much difference, but in general we prefer to use the standard
functions. glibc provides reallocarray since version 2.26.
I moved explicit_bzero is configure test to the bottom, so that the two stdlib
functions are at the bottom.
Let's rename get_controllers() → get_process_controllers(), in order to
underline the difference to cg_kernel_controllers(). After all, one
returns the controllers available to the process, the other the
controllers enabled in the kernel at all).
Let's also update the code to use read_line() and set_put_strdup() to
shorten the code a bit, and make it more robust.
We shouldn't call alloca() as part of function calls, that's not really
defined in C. Hence, let's first do our stack allocations, and then
invoke functions.
Also, some coding style fixes, and minor shuffling around.
No functional changes.
This fixes --read-only with --private-users. mkdir_userns_p may return
-EROFS if either mkdir or lchown fails; lchown failing is fine as the
mount point will just be overmounted, and if mkdir fails then the
following mount() will also fail (with ENOENT).
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

v2:

When automatic /tmp mount was introduced to nspawn in v219, it was done without having the nosuid and nodev mount options, which was the same case as systemd's default tmp.mount unit back then.
nosuid and nodev was added to tmp.mount(.m4) in v231 for security reasons. matching the nspawn /tmp mount entry against that.

We use our cgroup APIs in various contexts, including from our libraries
sd-login, sd-bus. As we don#t control those environments we can't rely
that the unified cgroup setup logic succeeds, and hence really shouldn't
assert on it.
This more or less reverts 415fc41cea.
Currently the hybrid mode mounts cgroup v2 on /sys/fs/cgroup instead of the v1
name=systemd hierarchy. While this works fine for systemd itself, it breaks
tools which expect cgroup v1 hierarchy on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd.
This patch updates the hybrid mode so that it mounts v2 hierarchy on
/sys/fs/cgroup/unified and keeps v1 "name=systemd" hierarchy on
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd for compatibility. systemd itself doesn't depend on the
"name=systemd" hierarchy at all. All operations take place on the v2 hierarchy
as before but the v1 hierarchy is kept in sync so that any tools which expect
it to be there can keep doing so. This allows systemd to take advantage of
cgroup v2 process management without requiring other tools to be aware of the
hybrid mode.
The hybrid mode is implemented by mapping the special systemd controller to
/sys/fs/cgroup/unified and making the basic cgroup utility operations -
cg_attach(), cg_create(), cg_rmdir() and cg_trim() - also operate on the
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd hierarchy whenever the cgroup2 hierarchy is updated.
While a bit messy, this will allow dropping complications from using cgroup v1
for process management a lot sooner than otherwise possible which should make
it a net gain in terms of maintainability.
v2: Fixed !cgns breakage reported by @evverx and renamed the unified mount
point to /sys/fs/cgroup/unified as suggested by @brauner.
v3: chown the compat hierarchy too on delegation. Suggested by @evverx.
v4: [zj]
- drop the change to default, full "legacy" is still the default.
cg_[all_]unified() test whether a specific controller or all controllers are on
the unified hierarchy. While what's being asked is a simple binary question,
the callers must assume that the functions may fail any time, which
unnecessarily complicates their usages. This complication is unnecessary.
Internally, the test result is cached anyway and there are only a few places
where the test actually needs to be performed.
This patch simplifies cg_[all_]unified().
* cg_[all_]unified() are updated to return bool. If the result can't be
decided, assertion failure is triggered. Error handlings from their callers
are dropped.
* cg_unified_flush() is updated to calculate the new result synchrnously and
return whether it succeeded or not. Places which need to flush the test
result are updated to test for failure. This ensures that all the following
cg_[all_]unified() tests succeed.
* Places which expected possible cg_[all_]unified() failures are updated to
call and test cg_unified_flush() before calling cg_[all_]unified(). This
includes functions used while setting up mounts during boot and
manager_setup_cgroup().
Add a new --pivot-root argument to systemd-nspawn, which specifies a
directory to pivot to / inside the container; while the original / is
pivoted to another specified directory (if provided). This adds
support for booting container images which may contain several bootable
sysroots, as is common with OSTree disk images. When these disk images
are booted on real hardware, ostree-prepare-root is run in conjunction
with sysroot.mount in the initramfs to achieve the same results.
This moves the VolatileMode enum and its helper functions to src/shared/. This
is useful to then reuse them to implement systemd.volatile= in a later commit.
This extends the --bind= and --overlay= syntax so that an empty string as source/upper
directory is taken as request to automatically allocate a temporary directory
below /var/tmp, whose lifetime is bound to the nspawn runtime. In combination
with the "+" path extension this permits a switch "--overlay=+/var::/var" in
order to use the container's shipped /var, combine it with a writable temporary
directory and mount it to the runtime /var of the container.
If a source path is prefixed with "+" it is taken relative to the container's
root directory instead of the host. This permits easily establishing bind and
overlay mounts based on data from the container rather than the host.
This also reworks custom_mounts_prepare(), and turns it into two functions: one
custom_mount_check_all() that remains in nspawn.c but purely verifies the
validity of the custom mounts configured. And one called
custom_mount_prepare_all() that actually does the preparation step, sorts the
custom mounts, resolves relative paths, and allocates temporary directories as
necessary.
Let's remove chase_symlinks_prefix() and instead introduce a flags parameter to
chase_symlinks(), with a flag CHASE_PREFIX_ROOT that exposes the behaviour of
chase_symlinks_prefix().
Let's use chase_symlinks() everywhere, and stop using GNU
canonicalize_file_name() everywhere. For most cases this should not change
behaviour, however increase exposure of our function to get better tested. Most
importantly in a few cases (most notably nspawn) it can take the correct root
directory into account when chasing symlinks.
