Feed a Router Advertisement to the code and expect proper events
each time. The sending part is ignored, as all of it is static code
in the real dhcp_network_icmp6_send_rs() function.
Provide functions to bind the ICMPv6 socket to the approriate interface
and set multicast sending and receiving according to RFC 3493, section
5.2. and RFC 3542, sections 3. and 3.3. Filter out all ICMPv6 messages
except Router Advertisements for the socket in question according to
RFC 3542, section 3.2.
Send Router Solicitations to the all routers multicast group as
described in RFC 4861, section 6. and act on the received Router
Advertisments according to section 6.3.7.
Implement a similar API for ICMPv6 handling as is done for DHCPv4 and
DHCPv6.
Introduce a new configuration file /etc/systemd/coredump.conf to
configure when to place coredumps in the journal and when on disk.
Since the coredumps are quite large, default to storing them only on
disk.
When an address is configured to be all zeroes, networkd will now
automatically find a locally unused network of the right size from a
list of pre-configured pools. Currently those pools are 10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 and fc00::/7, i.e. the network ranges for
private networks. They are compiled in, but should be configurable
eventually.
This allows applying the same configuration to a large number of
interfaces with each time a different IP range block, and management of
these IP ranges is fully automatic.
When allocating an address range from the pool it is made sure the range
is not used otherwise.
This is useful so that distros have something to base their own policy
of. It also useful to make sure that minimal installs always get useful
configuration in place.
With this in place RPMs can make sure that whatever they drop in is
immeidately applied, and not delayed until next reboot.
This also moves systemd-sysusers back to /usr/bin, since hardcoding the
path to /usr/lib in the macros would mean compatibility breaks in
future, should we turn sysusers into a command that is actually OK for
people to call directly. And given that that is quite likely to happen
(since it is useful to prepare images with its --root= switch), let's
just prepare for it.
In order to support offline updates to /usr, we need to be able to run
certain tasks on next boot-up to bring /etc and /var in line with the
updated /usr. Hence, let's devise a mechanism how we can detect whether
/etc or /var are not up-to-date with /usr anymore: we keep "touch
files" in /etc/.updated and /var/.updated that are mtime-compared with
/usr. This means:
Whenever the vendor OS tree in /usr is updated, and any services that
shall be executed at next boot shall be triggered, it is sufficient to
update the mtime of /usr itself. At next boot, if /etc/.updated and/or
/var/.updated is older than than /usr (or missing), we know we have to
run the update tools once. After that is completed we need to update the
mtime of these files to the one of /usr, to keep track that we made the
necessary updates, and won't repeat them on next reboot.
A subsequent commit adds a new ConditionNeedsUpdate= condition that
allows checking on boot whether /etc or /var are outdated and need
updating.
This is an early step to allow booting up with an empty /etc, with
automatic rebuilding of the necessary cache files or user databases
therein, as well as supporting later updates of /usr that then propagate
to /etc and /var again.
systemd-sysusers is a tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group
from static definition files that take a lot of inspiration from
tmpfiles snippets. These snippets should carry information about system
users only. To make sure it is not misused for normal users these
snippets only allow configuring UID and gecos field for each user, but
do not allow configuration of the home directory or shell, which is
necessary for real login users.
The purpose of this tool is to enable state-less systems that can
populate /etc with the minimal files necessary, solely from static data
in /usr. systemd-sysuser is additive only, and will never override
existing users.
This tool will create these files directly, and not via some user
database abtsraction layer. This is appropriate as this tool is supposed
to run really early at boot, and is only useful for creating system
users, and system users cannot be stored in remote databases anyway.
The tool is also useful to be invoked from RPM scriptlets, instead of
useradd. This allows moving from imperative user descriptions in RPM to
declarative descriptions.
The UID/GID for a user/group to be created can either be chosen dynamic,
or fixed, or be read from the owner of a file in the file system, in
order to support reconstructing the correct IDs for files that shall be
owned by them.
This also adds a minimal user definition file, that should be
sufficient for most basic systems. Distributions are expected to patch
these files and augment the contents, for example with fixed UIDs for
the users where that's necessary.
network-pre.target is a passive target that should be pulled in by
services that want to be executed before any network is configured (for
example: firewall scrips).
network-pre.target should be ordered before all network managemet
services (but not be pulled in by them).
network-pre.target should be order after all services that want to be
executed before any network is configured (and be pulled in by them).
Reuses logic from service.c and the rc-local generator.
Note that this drops reading of chkconfig entirely. It also drops reading
runlevels from the LSB headers. The runlevels were only used to check for
runlevels outside of the normal 1-5 range and then add special dependencies
and settings. Special runlevels were dropped in the past so it seemed to be
unused code.
The generator does not know about non-generated units with a value set with
SysVStartPriority=. These are therefor not taken into account when converting
start priority to before/after.
Either become uid/gid of the client we have been forked for, or become
the "systemd-bus-proxy" user if the client was root. We retain
CAP_IPC_OWNER so that we can tell kdbus we are actually our own client.
Rely on modules being built-in or autoloaded on-demand.
As networkd is a network facing service, we want to limits its capabilities,
as much as possible. Also, we may not have CAP_SYS_MODULE in a container,
and we want networkd to work the same there.
Module autoloading does not always work, but should be fixed by the kernel
patch f98f89a0104454f35a: 'net: tunnels - enable module autoloading', which
is currently in net-next and which people may consider backporting if they
want tunneling support without compiling in the modules.
Early adopters may also use a module-load.d snippet and order
systemd-modules-load.service before networkd to force the module
loading of tunneling modules.
This sholud fix the various build issues people have reported.
This allows us to run networkd mostly unpriviliged with the exception of
CAP_NET_* and CAP_SYS_MODULE. I'd really like to get rid of the latter
though...
Instead of accessing /proc/1/environ directly, trying to read the
$container variable from it, let's make PID 1 save the contents of that
variable to /run/systemd/container. This allows us to detect containers
without the need for CAP_SYS_PTRACE, which allows us to drop it from a
number of daemons and from the file capabilities of systemd-detect-virt.
Also, don't consider chroot a container technology anymore. After all,
we don't consider file system namespaces container technology anymore,
and hence chroot() should be considered a container even less.
nspawn and the container child use eventfd to wait and notify each other
that they are ready so the container setup can be completed.
However in its current form the wait/notify event ignore errors that
may especially affect the child (container).
On errors the child will jump to the "child_fail" label and terminate
with _exit(EXIT_FAILURE) without notifying the parent. Since the eventfd
is created without the "EFD_NONBLOCK" flag, this leaves the parent
blocking on the eventfd_read() call. The container can also be killed
at any moment before execv() and the parent will not receive
notifications.
We can fix this by using cheap mechanisms, the new high level eventfd
API and handle SIGCHLD signals:
* Keep the cheap eventfd and EFD_NONBLOCK flag.
* Introduce eventfd states for parent and child to sync.
Child notifies parent with EVENTFD_CHILD_SUCCEEDED on success or
EVENTFD_CHILD_FAILED on failure and before _exit(). This prevents the
parent from waiting on an event that will never come.
* If the child is killed before execv() or before notifying the parent,
we install a NOP handler for SIGCHLD which will interrupt blocking calls
with EINTR. This gives a chance to the parent to call wait() and
terminate in main().
* If there are no errors, parent will block SIGCHLD, restore default
handler and notify child which will do execv(), then parent will pass
control to process_pty() to do its magic.

The verbose link-time deprecation warnings are annoying. These libs
will never change or be extended; there is no need to test the list
of exported symbols.

We shouldn't destroy IPC objects of system users on logout.

This introduces SYSTEM_UID_MAX defined to the maximum UID of system
users. This value is determined compile-time, either as configure switch
or from /etc/login.defs. (We don't read that file at runtime, since this
is really a choice for a system builder, not the end user.)
While we are at it we then also update journald to use SYSTEM_UID_MAX
when we decide whether to split out log data for a specific client.
