2016-12-16core: make mount units from /proc/self/mountinfo possibly bind to a device ↵Franck Bui
(#4515) Since commit 9d06297, mount units from mountinfo are not bound to their devices anymore (they use the "Requires" dependency instead). This has the following drawback: if a media is mounted and the eject button is pressed then the media is unconditionally ejected leaving some inconsistent states. Since udev is the component that is reacting (no matter if the device is used or not) to the eject button, users expect that udev at least try to unmount the media properly. This patch introduces a new property "SYSTEMD_MOUNT_DEVICE_BOUND". When set on a block device, all units that requires this device will see their "Requires" dependency upgraded to a "BindTo" one. This is currently only used by cdrom devices. This patch also gives the possibility to the user to restore the previous behavior that is bind a mount unit to a device. This is achieved by passing the "x-systemd.device-bound" option to mount(8). Please note that currently this is not working because libmount treats the x-* options has comments therefore they're not available in utab for later application retrievals.

2016-12-14core: add ability to define arbitrary bind mounts for servicesLennart Poettering
This adds two new settings BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths=. They allow defining arbitrary bind mounts specific to particular services. This is particularly useful for services with RootDirectory= set as this permits making specific bits of the host directory available to chrooted services. The two new settings follow the concepts nspawn already possess in --bind= and --bind-ro=, as well as the .nspawn settings Bind= and BindReadOnly= (and these latter options should probably be renamed to BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths= too). Fixes: #3439

2016-12-11man: use unicode ellipsis in more placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
As requested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557. docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer. In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other places.

2016-12-07core: deprecate %c, %r, %R specifiersLennart Poettering
%c and %r rely on settings made in the unit files themselves and hence resolve to different values depending on whether they are used before or after Slice=. Let's simply deprecate them and drop them from the documentation, as that's not really possible to fix. Moreover they are actually redundant, as the same information may always be queried from /proc/self/cgroup and /proc/1/cgroup. (Accurately speaking, %R is actually not broken like this as it is constant. However, let's remove all cgroup-related specifiers at once, as it is also redundant, and doesn't really make much sense alone.)

2016-12-01nspawn: optionally, automatically allocated --bind=/--overlay source from ↵Lennart Poettering
/var/tmp This extends the --bind= and --overlay= syntax so that an empty string as source/upper directory is taken as request to automatically allocate a temporary directory below /var/tmp, whose lifetime is bound to the nspawn runtime. In combination with the "+" path extension this permits a switch "--overlay=+/var::/var" in order to use the container's shipped /var, combine it with a writable temporary directory and mount it to the runtime /var of the container.
2016-12-01nspawn: permit prefixing of source paths in --bind= and --overlay= with "+"Lennart Poettering
If a source path is prefixed with "+" it is taken relative to the container's root directory instead of the host. This permits easily establishing bind and overlay mounts based on data from the container rather than the host. This also reworks custom_mounts_prepare(), and turns it into two functions: one custom_mount_check_all() that remains in nspawn.c but purely verifies the validity of the custom mounts configured. And one called custom_mount_prepare_all() that actually does the preparation step, sorts the custom mounts, resolves relative paths, and allocates temporary directories as necessary.

2016-11-29sd-id128: add new sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() APILennart Poettering
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
2016-11-29units: add system-update-cleanup.service to guard against offline-update loopsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Note: the name is "system-update-cleanup.service" rather than "system-update-done.service", because it should not run normally, and also because there's already "systemd-update-done.service", and having them named so similarly would be confusing. In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 the system repeatedly entered system-update.target on boot. Because of a packaging issue, the tool that created the /system-update symlink could be installed without the service unit that was supposed to perform the upgrade (and remove the symlink). In fact, if there are no units in system-update.target, and /system-update symlink is created, systemd always "hangs" in system-update.target. This is confusing for users, because there's no feedback what is happening, and fixing this requires starting an emergency shell somehow, and also knowing that the symlink must be removed. We should be more resilient in this case, and remove the symlink automatically ourselves, if there are no upgrade service to handle it. This adds a service which is started after system-update.target is reached and the symlink still exists. It nukes the symlink and reboots the machine. It should subsequently boot into the default default.target. This is a more general fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 (the packaging issue was already fixed).

2016-11-22Document an edge-case with resume and mounting (#4581)Janne Heß

2016-11-22nspawn: add fallback top normal copy/reflink when we cannot btrfs snapshotLennart Poettering
Given that other file systems (notably: xfs) support reflinks these days, let's extend the file system snapshotting logic to fall back to plan copies or reflinks when full btrfs subvolume snapshots are not available. This essentially makes "systemd-nspawn --ephemeral" and "systemd-nspawn --template=" available on non-btrfs subvolumes. Of course, both operations will still be slower on non-btrfs than on btrfs (simply because reflinking each file individually in a directory tree is still slower than doing this in one step for a whole subvolume), but it's probably good enough for many cases, and we should provide the users with the tools, they have to figure out what's good for them. Note that "machinectl clone" already had a fallback like this in place, this patch generalizes this, and adds similar support to our other cases.
2016-11-22nspawn: support ephemeral boots from imagesLennart Poettering
Previously --ephemeral was only supported with container trees in btrfs subvolumes (i.e. in combination with --directory=). This adds support for --ephemeral in conjunction with disk images (i.e. --image=) too. As side effect this fixes that --ephemeral was accepted but ignored when using -M on a container that turned out to be an image. Fixes: #4664
