2016-09-25core: Use @raw-io syscall group to filter I/O syscalls when PrivateDevices= ↵Djalal Harouni
is set Instead of having a local syscall list, use the @raw-io group which contains the same set of syscalls to filter.
2016-09-25core:sandbox: add more /proc/* entries to ProtectKernelTunables=Djalal Harouni
Make ALSA entries, latency interface, mtrr, apm/acpi, suspend interface, filesystems configuration and IRQ tuning readonly. Most of these interfaces now days should be in /sys but they are still available through /proc, so just protect them. This patch does not touch /proc/net/...

2016-09-25doc: documentation fixes for ReadWritePaths= and ProtectKernelTunables=Djalal Harouni
Documentation fixes for ReadWritePaths= and ProtectKernelTunables= as reported by Evgeny Vereshchagin.
2016-09-25man: shorten the exit status table a bitLennart Poettering
Let's merge a couple of columns, to make the table a bit shorter. This effectively just drops whitespace, not contents, but makes the currently humungous table much much more compact.
2016-09-25man: the exit code/signal is stored in $EXIT_CODE, not $EXIT_STATUSLennart Poettering
2016-09-25man: rework documentation for ReadOnlyPaths= and related settingsLennart Poettering
This reworks the documentation for ReadOnlyPaths=, ReadWritePaths=, InaccessiblePaths=. It no longer claims that we'd follow symlinks relative to the host file system. (Which wasn't true actually, as we didn't follow symlinks at all in the most recent releases, and we know do follow them, but relative to RootDirectory=). This also replaces all references to the fact that all fs namespacing options can be undone with enough privileges and disable propagation by a single one in the documentation of ReadOnlyPaths= and friends, and then directs the read to this in all other places. Moreover a hint is added to the documentation of SystemCallFilter=, suggesting usage of ~@mount in case any of the fs namespacing related options are used.
2016-09-25man: in user-facing documentaiton don't reference C function namesLennart Poettering
Let's drop the reference to the cap_from_name() function in the documentation for the capabilities setting, as it is hardly helpful. Our readers are not necessarily C hackers knowing the semantics of cap_from_name(). Moreover, the strings we accept are just the plain capability names as listed in capabilities(7) hence there's really no point in confusing the user with anything else.
2016-09-25core: imply ProtectHome=read-only and ProtectSystem=strict if DynamicUser=1Lennart Poettering
Let's make sure that services that use DynamicUser=1 cannot leave files in the file system should the system accidentally have a world-writable directory somewhere. This effectively ensures that directories need to be whitelisted rather than blacklisted for access when DynamicUser=1 is set.
2016-09-25core: introduce ProtectSystem=strictLennart Poettering
Let's tighten our sandbox a bit more: with this change ProtectSystem= gains a new setting "strict". If set, the entire directory tree of the system is mounted read-only, but the API file systems /proc, /dev, /sys are excluded (they may be managed with PrivateDevices= and ProtectKernelTunables=). Also, /home and /root are excluded as those are left for ProtectHome= to manage. In this mode, all "real" file systems (i.e. non-API file systems) are mounted read-only, and specific directories may only be excluded via ReadWriteDirectories=, thus implementing an effective whitelist instead of blacklist of writable directories. While we are at, also add /efi to the list of paths always affected by ProtectSystem=. This is a follow-up for b52a109ad38cd37b660ccd5394ff5c171a5e5355 which added /efi as alternative for /boot. Our namespacing logic should respect that too.
2016-09-25core: add two new service settings ProtectKernelTunables= and ↵Lennart Poettering
ProtectControlGroups= If enabled, these will block write access to /sys, /proc/sys and /proc/sys/fs/cgroup.
2016-08-19core: add RemoveIPC= settingLennart Poettering
This adds the boolean RemoveIPC= setting to service, socket, mount and swap units (i.e. all unit types that may invoke processes). if turned on, and the unit's user/group is not root, all IPC objects of the user/group are removed when the service is shut down. The life-cycle of the IPC objects is hence bound to the unit life-cycle. This is particularly relevant for units with dynamic users, as it is essential that no objects owned by the dynamic users survive the service exiting. In fact, this patch adds code to imply RemoveIPC= if DynamicUser= is set. In order to communicate the UID/GID of an executed process back to PID 1 this adds a new "user lookup" socket pair, that is inherited into the forked processes, and closed before the exec(). This is needed since we cannot do NSS from PID 1 due to deadlock risks, However need to know the used UID/GID in order to clean up IPC owned by it if the unit shuts down.

2016-08-04core: set $SERVICE_RESULT, $EXIT_CODE and $EXIT_STATUS in ↵Lennart Poettering
ExecStop=/ExecStopPost= commands This should simplify monitoring tools for services, by passing the most basic information about service result/exit information via environment variables, thus making it unnecessary to retrieve them explicitly via the bus.
2016-08-03core: add new PrivateUsers= option to service executionLennart Poettering
This setting adds minimal user namespacing support to a service. When set the invoked processes will run in their own user namespace. Only a trivial mapping will be set up: the root user/group is mapped to root, and the user/group of the service will be mapped to itself, everything else is mapped to nobody. If this setting is used the service runs with no capabilities on the host, but configurable capabilities within the service. This setting is particularly useful in conjunction with RootDirectory= as the need to synchronize /etc/passwd and /etc/group between the host and the service OS tree is reduced, as only three UID/GIDs need to match: root, nobody and the user of the service itself. But even outside the RootDirectory= case this setting is useful to substantially reduce the attack surface of a service. Example command to test this: systemd-run -p PrivateUsers=1 -p User=foobar -t /bin/sh This runs a shell as user "foobar". When typing "ps" only processes owned by "root", by "foobar", and by "nobody" should be visible.

2016-07-25core: change ExecStart=! syntax to ExecStart=+ (#3797)Lennart Poettering
As suggested by @mbiebl we already use the "!" special char in unit file assignments for negation, hence we should not use it in a different context for privileged execution. Let's use "+" instead.
2016-07-22core: add a concept of "dynamic" user ids, that are allocated as long as a ↵Lennart Poettering
service is running This adds a new boolean setting DynamicUser= to service files. If set, a new user will be allocated dynamically when the unit is started, and released when it is stopped. The user ID is allocated from the range 61184..65519. The user will not be added to /etc/passwd (but an NSS module to be added later should make it show up in getent passwd). For now, care should be taken that the service writes no files to disk, since this might result in files owned by UIDs that might get assigned dynamically to a different service later on. Later patches will tighten sandboxing in order to ensure that this cannot happen, except for a few selected directories. A simple way to test this is: systemd-run -p DynamicUser=1 /bin/sleep 99999
2016-07-19doc,core: Read{Write,Only}Paths= and InaccessiblePaths=Alessandro Puccetti
This patch renames Read{Write,Only}Directories= and InaccessibleDirectories= to Read{Write,Only}Paths= and InaccessiblePaths=, previous names are kept as aliases but they are not advertised in the documentation. Renamed variables: `read_write_dirs` --> `read_write_paths` `read_only_dirs` --> `read_only_paths` `inaccessible_dirs` --> `inaccessible_paths`
2016-07-19namespace: unify limit behavior on non-directory pathsAlessandro Puccetti
Despite the name, `Read{Write,Only}Directories=` already allows for regular file paths to be masked. This commit adds the same behavior to `InaccessibleDirectories=` and makes it explicit in the doc. This patch introduces `/run/systemd/inaccessible/{reg,dir,chr,blk,fifo,sock}` {dile,device}nodes and mounts on the appropriate one the paths specified in `InacessibleDirectories=`. Based on Luca's patch from https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3327
2016-06-23execute: add a new easy-to-use RestrictRealtime= option to unitsLennart Poettering
It takes a boolean value. If true, access to SCHED_RR, SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_DEADLINE is blocked, which my be used to lock up the system.
2016-06-15core: set $JOURNAL_STREAM to the dev_t/ino_t of the journal stream of ↵Lennart Poettering
executed services This permits services to detect whether their stdout/stderr is connected to the journal, and if so talk to the journal directly, thus permitting carrying of metadata. As requested by the gtk folks: #2473
2016-06-13core: improve seccomp syscall grouping a bitLennart Poettering
This adds three new seccomp syscall groups: @keyring for kernel keyring access, @cpu-emulation for CPU emulation features, for exampe vm86() for dosemu and suchlike, and @debug for ptrace() and related calls. Also, the @clock group is updated with more syscalls that alter the system clock. capset() is added to @privileged, and pciconfig_iobase() is added to @raw-io. Finally, @obsolete is a cleaned up. A number of syscalls that never existed on Linux and have no number assigned on any architecture are removed, as they only exist in the man pages and other operating sytems, but not in code at all. create_module() is moved from @module to @obsolete, as it is an obsolete system call. mem_getpolicy() is removed from the @obsolete list, as it is not obsolete, but simply a NUMA API.
2016-06-10core/execute: add the magic character '!' to allow privileged execution (#3493)Alessandro Puccetti
This patch implements the new magic character '!'. By putting '!' in front of a command, systemd executes it with full privileges ignoring paramters such as User, Group, SupplementaryGroups, CapabilityBoundingSet, AmbientCapabilities, SecureBits, SystemCallFilter, SELinuxContext, AppArmorProfile, SmackProcessLabel, and RestrictAddressFamilies. Fixes partially https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3414 Related to https://github.com/coreos/rkt/issues/2482 Testing: 1. Create a user 'bob' 2. Create the unit file /etc/systemd/system/exec-perm.service (You can use the example below) 3. sudo systemctl start ext-perm.service 4.

2016-02-28core: set NoNewPrivileges for seccomp if we don't have CAP_SYS_ADMINRonny Chevalier
The manpage of seccomp specify that using seccomp with SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER will return EACCES if the caller do not have CAP_SYS_ADMIN set, or if the no_new_privileges bit is not set. Hence, without NoNewPrivilege set, it is impossible to use a SystemCall* directive with a User directive set in system mode. Now, NoNewPrivileges is set if we are in user mode, or if we are in system mode and we don't have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and SystemCall* directives are used.

2016-02-13core: drop Capabilities= settingLennart Poettering
The setting is hardly useful (since its effect is generally reduced to zero due to file system caps), and with the advent of ambient caps an actually useful replacement exists, hence let's get rid of this. I am pretty sure this was unused and our man page already recommended against its use, hence this should be a safe thing to remove.

2015-11-25core: support <soft:hard> ranges for RLIMIT optionsKarel Zak
The new parser supports: <value> - specify both limits to the same value <soft:hard> - specify both limits the size or time specific suffixes are supported, for example LimitRTTIME=1sec LimitAS=4G:16G The patch introduces parse_rlimit_range() and rlim type (size, sec, usec, etc.) specific parsers. No code is duplicated now. The patch also sync docs for DefaultLimitXXX= and LimitXXX=. References: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1769

2015-11-11man: document automatic dependenciesLennart Poettering
For all units ensure there's an "Automatic Dependencies" section in the man page, and explain which dependencies are automatically added in all cases, and which ones are added on top if DefaultDependencies=yes is set. This is also done for systemd.exec(5), systemd.resource-control(5) and systemd.unit(5) as these pages describe common behaviour of various unit types.
2015-11-11execute: Add new PassEnvironment= directiveFilipe Brandenburger
This directive allows passing environment variables from the system manager to spawned services. Variables in the system manager can be set inside a container by passing `--set-env=...` options to systemd-spawn. Tested with an on-disk test.service unit. Tested using multiple variable names on a single line, with an empty setting to clear the current list of variables, with non-existing variables. Tested using `systemd-run -p PassEnvironment=VARNAME` to confirm it works with transient units. Confirmed that `systemctl show` will display the PassEnvironment settings. Checked that man pages are generated correctly. No regressions in `make check`.
2015-11-10core: accept time units for time-based resource limitsLennart Poettering
