This adds a generator and a small service that will look for "roothash="
on the kernel command line and use it for setting up a very partition
for the root device.
This provides similar functionality to nspawn's existing --roothash=
switch.
|
|
This adds support for a new kernel command line option "systemd.volatile=" that
provides the same functionality that systemd-nspawn's --volatile= switch
provides, but for host systems (i.e. systems booting with a kernel).
It takes the same parameter and has the same effect.
In order to implement systemd.volatile=yes a new service
systemd-volatile-root.service is introduced that only runs in the initrd and
rearranges the root directory as needed to become a tmpfs instance. Note that
systemd.volatile=state is implemented different: it simply generates a
var.mount unit file that is part of the normal boot and has no effect on the
initrd execution.
The way this is implemented ensures that other explicit configuration for /var
can always override the effect of these options. Specifically, the var.mount
unit is generated in the "late" generator directory, so that it only is in
effect if nothing else overrides it.

Fixes #1188.

This adds an API for retrieving an app-specific machine ID to sd-id128.
Internally it calculates HMAC-SHA256 with an 128bit app-specific ID as payload
and the machine ID as key.
(An alternative would have been to use siphash for this, which is also
cryptographically strong. However, as it only generates 64bit hashes it's not
an obvious choice for generating 128bit IDs.)
Fixes: #4667
|
|
Fixes #3370.
|
|
Let's add documentation about SD_ID128_NULL and sd_id128_is_null().
Let's also indent our examples by 8chs, as is generally our coding style.

This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.

And while ware at it, also drop some references to kdbus, and stop claiming
sd-bus wasn't stable yet. Also order man page references in the main sd-bus man
page alphabetically.

This adds "systemd-mount" which is for transient mount and automount units what
"systemd-run" is for transient service, scope and timer units.
The tool allows establishing mounts and automounts during runtime. It is very
similar to the usual /bin/mount commands, but can pull in additional
dependenices on access (for example, it pulls in fsck automatically), an take
benefit of the automount logic.
This tool is particularly useful for mount removable file systems (such as USB
sticks), as the automount logic (together with automatic unmount-on-idle), as
well as automatic fsck on first access ensure that the removable file system
has a high chance to remain in a fully clean state even when it is unplugged
abruptly, and returns to a clean state on the next re-plug.
This is a follow-up for #2471, as it adds a simple client-side for the
transient automount logic added in that PR.
In later work it might make sense to invoke this tool automatically from udev
rules in order to implement a simpler and safer version of removable media
management á la udisks.

With this NSS module all dynamic service users will be resolvable via NSS like
any real user.

sd_event_get_iteration() (#3631)
This extends the existing event loop iteration counter to 64bit, and exposes it
via a new function sd_event_get_iteration(). This is helpful for cases like
issue #3612. After all, since we maintain the counter anyway, we might as well
expose it.
(This also fixes an unrelated issue in the man page for sd_event_wait() where
micro and milliseconds got mixed up)

Man coredump sysctl

Added in 3c171f0b1e.

This imports most of http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates/
to turn it into a man page. Similarly for the man page about generators,
this will make it easier to keep up-to-date, keep a history of changes,
and make it more discoverable for end-users.

Remove systemd-bootchart
|
|
|
|
This commit rips out systemd-bootchart. It will be given a new home, outside
of the systemd repository. The code itself isn't actually specific to
systemd and can be used without systemd even, so let's put it somewhere
else.
|

remove bus-proxyd
|
|
It has fairly wide functionality now and the interface has been
stable for a while. It it a useful testing tool.
The name is changed to better indicate what it does.
|
|
As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.

This adds two new calls to get the list of all journal fields names currently in use.
This is the low-level support to implement the feature requested in #2176 in a more optimized way.
|
|
Also introduce sd_journal_has_runtime_files() and
sd_journal_has_persistent_files() to the public API. These functions
can be used to easily find out if the open journal files are runtime
and/or persistent.

We have 126 broken links to sd-bus.html, it's nice to fix that.
Current version is mostly a stub, with a long list of links to other
pages. I think that's fine, especially that sd-bus might evolve
quite a bit before it is made public.
Not all of linked pages are written. Still missing:
sd_bus_can_send
sd_bus_get_name_creds
sd_bus_get_owner_creds
sd_bus_message_can_send
sd_bus_message_get_creds
sd_bus_message_set_allow_interactive_authorization
sd_bus_send
sd_bus_set_address
sd_bus_set_description
sd_bus_start
sd_event_set_prepare

This also links up the new manpage from systemd-resolved.service(8), and makes a couple of unrelated additions.

GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.

This completes the set of man pages for sd-event and contains some minor
other fixes for other man pages too.
The sd_event_set_name(3) man page is renamed to
sd_event_source_set_description(3), which is the correct name of the
concept today.

Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd
developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they
existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted
without harm.
The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system
is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire...
and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo"
those changes, which isn't really possible.
Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking
that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone,
and snapshots cannot be created anymore.
New systemctl says:
Unknown operation snapshot.
Old systemctl says:
Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed.
IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored:
Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored

Make journald audit socket maskable
|
|
Adding them to the documentation makes it easier to find
the right man page for people who are trying to understand
where some socket in the filesystem is coming from.
|
|
This adds support for naming file descriptors passed using socket
activation. The names are passed in a new $LISTEN_FDNAMES= environment
variable, that matches the existign $LISTEN_FDS= one and contains a
colon-separated list of names.
This also adds support for naming fds submitted to the per-service fd
store using FDNAME= in the sd_notify() message.
This also adds a new FileDescriptorName= setting for socket unit files
to set the name for fds created by socket units.
This also adds a new call sd_listen_fds_with_names(), that is similar to
sd_listen_fds(), but also returns the names of the fds.
systemd-activate gained the new --fdname= switch to specify a name for
testing socket activation.
This is based on #1247 by Maciej Wereski.
Fixes #1247.

With this rework we introduce systemd-rfkill.service as singleton that
is activated via systemd-rfkill.socket that listens on /dev/rfkill. That
way, we get notified each time a new rfkill device shows up or changes
state, in which case we restore and save its current setting to disk.
This is nicer than the previous logic, as this means we save/restore
state even of rfkill devices that are around only intermittently, and
save/restore the state even if the system is shutdown abruptly instead
of cleanly.
This implements what I suggested in #1019 and obsoletes it.

And remove machine-id-commit as separate binary.
There's really no point in keeping this separate, as the sources are
pretty much identical, and have pretty identical interfaces. Let's unify
this in one binary.
Given that machine-id-commit was a private binary of systemd (shipped in
/usr/lib/) removing the tool is not an API break.
While we are at it, improve the documentation of the command substantially.

This introduces two new helpers alongside sd_bus_path_{encode,decode}(),
which work similarly to their counterparts, but accept a format-string as
input. This allows encoding and decoding multiple labels of a format
string at the same time.

.nspawn fiels are simple settings files that may accompany container
images and directories and contain settings otherwise passed on the
nspawn command line. This provides an efficient way to attach execution
data directly to containers.
|
|
This adds a new sd_pid_get_cgroup() call to sd-login which may be used
to query the control path of a process. This is useful for programs when
making use of delegation units, in order to figure out which subtree has
been delegated.
In light of the unified control group hierarchy this is finally safe to
do, hence let's add a proper API for it, to make it easier to use this.
