In order to prepare for the kernel cgroup rework, let's introduce a new
unit type to systemd, the "slice". Slices can be arranged in a tree and
are useful to partition resources freely and hierarchally by the user.
Each service unit can now be assigned to one of these slices, and later
on login users and machines may too.
Slices translate pretty directly to the cgroup hierarchy, and the
various objects can be assigned to any of the slices in the tree.
I'm assuming that it's fine if a _const_ or _pure_ function
calls assert. It is assumed that the assert won't trigger,
and even if it does, it can only trigger on the first call
with a given set of parameters, and we don't care if the
compiler moves the order of calls.
When a trigger unit wants to know if a stop is queued for it, we should
just check precisely that and do not check whether it is actually
stopped already. This is because we use these checks usually from state
change calls where the state variables are not updated yet.
This change splits unit_pending_inactive() into two calls
unit_inactive_or_pending() and unit_stop_pending(). The former checks
state and pending jobs, the latter only pending jobs.
When showing an error like 'Socket service not loaded', the
error won't show up in the status for the socket, unless it is
marked as SYSTEMD_UNIT=*.socket. Marking it as SYSTEMD_UNIT=*.service,
when the service is non-existent, is not useful.
All Execs within the service, will get mounted the same
/tmp and /var/tmp directories, if service is configured with
PrivateTmp=yes. Temporary directories are cleaned up by service
itself in addition to systemd-tmpfiles. Directory which is mounted
as inaccessible is created at runtime in /run/systemd.
There are very few differences in the implementations of the kill method in the
unit types that have one. Let's unify them.
This does not yet unify unit_kill() with unit_kill_context().
Hello list,
some socket activated service gave me the error message you can see on
the subject, maybe systemd should be more verbose in that case.
Thanks,
Dimitris
This adds #ifdef HAVE_ATTR_XATTR_H guards around all usage of xattr.
This unbreaks building with --disable-xattr when <attr/xattr.h> doesn't exist.
<attr/xattr.h> and usage of fsetxattr() without
Since we already allow defining the mode of AF_UNIX sockets and FIFO, it
makes sense to also allow specific user/group ownership of the socket
file for restricting access.
This adds SMACK label configuration options to socket units.
SMACK labels should be applied to most objects on disk well before
execution time, but two items remain that are generated dynamically
at run time that require SMACK labels to be set in order to enforce
MAC on all objects.
Files on disk can be labelled using package management.
For device nodes, simple udev rules are sufficient to add SMACK labels
at boot/insertion time.
Sockets can be created at run time and systemd does just that for
several services. In order to protect FIFO's and UNIX domain sockets,
we must instruct systemd to apply SMACK labels at runtime.
This patch adds the following options:
Smack - applicable to FIFO's.
SmackIpIn/SmackIpOut - applicable to sockets.
No external dependencies are required to support SMACK, as setting
the labels is done using fsetxattr(). The labels can be set on a
kernel that does not have SMACK enabled either, so there is no need
to #ifdef any of this code out.
For more information about SMACK, please see Documentation/Smack.txt
in the kernel source code.
v3 of this patch changes the config options to be CamelCased.
Under some circumstances this could lead to a segfault since we we
half-initialized a mount unit, then tried to hook it into the network of
things and while doing that recursively ended up looking at our
half-initialized mount unit again assuming it was fully initialized.
Note: I did s/MANAGER/SYSTEMD/ everywhere, even though it makes the
patch quite verbose. Nevertheless, keeping MANAGER prefix in some
places, and SYSTEMD prefix in others would just lead to confusion down
the road. Better to rip off the band-aid now.
In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error
does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus
which will not cause restart of a service.
Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified
by SuccessfulExitStatus.
It made no sense, and since we are documenting the bus calls now and
want to include them in our stability promise we really should get it
cleaned up sooner, not later.
As described in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50184
the journal currently doesn't set fields such as _SYSTEMD_UNIT
properly for messages coming from processes that have already
terminated. This means among other things that "systemctl status" may
not show some of the output of services that wrote messages just
before they exited.
This patch fixes this by having processes that log to the journal
write their unit identifier to journald when the connection to
/run/systemd/journal/stdout is opened. Journald stores the unit ID
and uses it to fill in _SYSTEMD_UNIT when it cannot be obtained
normally (i.e. from the cgroup). To prevent impersonating another
unit, this information is only used when the caller is root.
This doesn't fix the general problem of getting metadata about
messages from terminated processes (which requires some kernel
support), but it allows "systemctl status" and similar queries to do
the Right Thing for units that log via stdout/stderr.
UnitPath= is also writable via native units and may be used by generators
to clarify from which file a unit is generated. This patch also hooks up
the cryptsetup and fstab generators to set UnitPath= accordingly.
Instead of generic "Starting..." and "Started" messages for all unit use
type-dependent messages. For example, mounts will announce "Mounting..."
and "Mounted".
Add status messages to units of types that used to be entirely silent
(automounts, sockets, targets, devices). For unit types whose jobs are
instantaneous, report only the job completion, not the starting event.
Socket units with non-instantaneous jobs are rare (Exec*= is not used
often in socket units), so I chose not to print the starting messages
for them either.
This will hopefully give people better understanding of the boot.
The kernel will only notify us of cgroups running empty if no subcgroups
exist anymore. Hence make sure we don't leave our own control/ subcgroup
around longer than necessary.

Type=idle is much like Type=simple, however between the fork() and the
exec() in the child we wait until PID 1 informs us that no jobs are
left.
This is mostly a cosmetic fix to make gettys appear only after all boot
output is finished and complete.
Note that this does not impact the normal job logic as we do not delay
the completion of any jobs. We just delay the invocation of the actual
binary, and only for services that otherwise would be of Type=simple.
Previously, we were brutally and onconditionally killing all processes
in a service's cgroup before starting the service anew, in order to
ensure that StartPre lines cannot be misused to spawn long-running
processes.
On logind-less systems this has the effect that restarting sshd
necessarily calls all active ssh sessions, which is usually not
desirable.
With this patch control processes for a service are placed in a
sub-cgroup called "control/". When starting a service anew we simply
kill this cgroup, but not the main cgroup, in order to avoid killing any
long-running non-control processes from previous runs.

We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
