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.

(#3995)
As suggested:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3958#issuecomment-240410958
Let's document that we try hard to pass system state from the initrd to the
host, and even compare the systemd binary paths.
|

This changes the semantics a bit: before, SYSTEMD_COLORS= would be treated as
"yes", same as SYSTEMD_COLORS=xxx and SYSTEMD_COLORS=1, and only
SYSTEMD_COLORS=0 would be treated as "no". Now, only valid booleans are treated
as "yes". This actually matches how $SYSTEMD_COLORS was announced in NEWS.

real names
The man pages didn't ever mention that symlinks to units can be created, and what
exactly this means. Fix that omission, and disallow presets on alias names.
|
|
|
|
Let's make sure the man page actually documents what is implemented, i.e.
"Lennart's PC" turns into "LennartsPC" when we clean up the name.

The parsing functions for [User]TasksMax were inconsistent. Empty string and
"infinity" were interpreted as no limit for TasksMax but not accepted for
UserTasksMax. Update them so that they're consistent with other knobs.
* Empty string indicates the default value.
* "infinity" indicates no limit.
While at it, replace opencoded (uint64_t) -1 with CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX in TasksMax
handling.
v2: Update empty string to indicate the default value as suggested by Zbigniew
Jędrzejewski-Szmek.
v3: Fixed empty UserTasksMax handling.

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.

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.

Make journalctl more flexible

core: add cgroup CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy
(zj: merging not squashing to make it clear against which upstream this patch was developed.)
|
|
Follow-up for #3924.
|
|
It is useful to look at a (possibly inactive) container or other os tree
with --root=/path/to/container. This is similar to specifying
--directory=/path/to/container/var/log/journal --directory=/path/to/container/run/systemd/journal
(if using --directory multiple times was allowed), but doesn't require
as much typing.
|
|
There is no reason not to. This makes journalctl -D ... --system work,
useful for example when viewing files from a deactivated container.

Unfortunately, due to the disagreements in the kernel development community,
CPU controller cgroup v2 support has not been merged and enabling it requires
applying two small out-of-tree kernel patches. The situation is explained in
the following documentation.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git/tree/Documentation/cgroup-v2-cpu.txt?h=cgroup-v2-cpu
While it isn't clear what will happen with CPU controller cgroup v2 support,
there are critical features which are possible only on cgroup v2 such as
buffered write control making cgroup v2 essential for a lot of workloads. This
commit implements systemd CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy so
that users who choose to deploy CPU controller cgroup v2 support can easily
take advantage of it.
On the unified hierarchy, "cpu.weight" knob replaces "cpu.shares" and "cpu.max"
replaces "cpu.cfs_period_us" and "cpu.cfs_quota_us". [Startup]CPUWeight config
options are added with the usual compat translation. CPU quota settings remain
unchanged and apply to both legacy and unified hierarchies.
v2: - Error in man page corrected.
- CPU config application in cgroup_context_apply() refactored.
- CPU accounting now works on unified hierarchy.

fixes #3881

Let's extend nss-systemd to also synthesize user/group entries for the
UIDs/GIDs 0 and 65534 which have special kernel meaning. Given that nss-systemd
is listed in /etc/nsswitch.conf only very late any explicit listing in
/etc/passwd or /etc/group takes precedence.
This functionality is useful in minimal container-like setups that lack
/etc/passwd files (or only have incompletely populated ones).

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.

nspawn resolv.conf handling improvements, and inherit $TERM all the way through nspawn → console login

This new output mode formats all timestamps using the usual format_timestamp()
call we use pretty much everywhere else. Timestamps formatted this way are some
ways more useful than traditional syslog timestamps as they include weekday,
month and timezone information, while not being much longer. They are also not
locale-dependent. The primary advantage however is that they may be passed
directly to journalctl's --since= and --until= switches as soon as #3869 is
merged.
While we are at it, let's also add "short-unix" to shell completion.

This patch improves parsing and generation of timestamps and calendar
specifications in two ways:
- The week day is now always printed in the abbreviated English form, instead
of the locale's setting. This makes sure we can always parse the week day
again, even if the locale is changed. Given that we don't follow locale
settings for printing timestamps in any other way either (for example, we
always use 24h syntax in order to make uniform parsing possible), it only
makes sense to also stick to a generic, non-localized form for the timestamp,
too.
- When parsing a timestamp, the local timezone (in its DST or non-DST name)
may be specified, in addition to "UTC". Other timezones are still not
supported however (not because we wouldn't want to, but mostly because libc
offers no nice API for that). In itself this brings no new features, however
it ensures that any locally formatted timestamp's timezone is also parsable
again.
These two changes ensure that the output of format_timestamp() may always be
passed to parse_timestamp() and results in the original input. The related
flavours for usec/UTC also work accordingly. Calendar specifications are
extended in a similar way.
The man page is updated accordingly, in particular this removes the claim that
timestamps systemd prints wouldn't be parsable by systemd. They are now.
The man page previously showed invalid timestamps as examples. This has been
removed, as the man page shouldn't be a unit test, where such negative examples
would be useful. The man page also no longer mentions the names of internal
functions, such as format_timestamp_us() or UNIX error codes such as EINVAL.

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.

This removes the --share-system switch: from the documentation, the --help text
as well as the command line parsing. It's an ugly option, given that it kinda
contradicts the whole concept of PID namespaces that nspawn implements. Since
it's barely ever used, let's just deprecate it and remove it from the options.
It might be useful as a debugging option, hence the functionality is kept
around for now, exposed via an undocumented $SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_SHARE_SYSTEM
environment variable.

This complements graphical-session.target for services which set up the
environment (e. g. dbus-update-activation-environment) and need to run before
the actual graphical session.

The CPUID and DMI vendor strings do not seem to be documented.
Values were found experimentally and by inspecting the source code.
|

They were outdated, and this way it's less likely that they'll get out of sync
again. Anyway, it's easier for the reader to have the kernel and config file
options next to one another.
