2016-12-17FSDG: man/: Refer to the operating system as GNU/Linux.Luke Shumaker
This is not a blind replacement of "Linux" with "GNU/Linux". In some cases, "Linux" is (correctly) used to refer to just the kernel. In others, it is in a string for which code must also be adjusted; these instances are not included in this commit.

2016-11-02man: document that too strict system call filters may affect the service managerLennart Poettering
If execve() or socket() is filtered the service manager might get into trouble executing the service binary, or handling any failures when this fails. Mention this in the documentation. The other option would be to implicitly whitelist all system calls that are required for these codepaths. However, that appears less than desirable as this would mean socket() and many related calls have to be whitelisted unconditionally. As writing system call filters requires a certain level of expertise anyway it sounds like the better option to simply document these issues and suggest that the user disables system call filters in the service temporarily in order to debug any such failures. See: #3993.
2016-11-02seccomp: add two new syscall groupsLennart Poettering
@resources contains various syscalls that alter resource limits and memory and scheduling parameters of processes. As such they are good candidates to block for most services. @basic-io contains a number of basic syscalls for I/O, similar to the list seccomp v1 permitted but slightly more complete. It should be useful for building basic whitelisting for minimal sandboxes

2016-11-02seccomp: include pipes and memfd in @ipcLennart Poettering
These system calls clearly fall in the @ipc category, hence should be listed there, simply to avoid confusion and surprise by the user.
2016-11-02seccomp: drop execve() from @process listLennart Poettering
The system call is already part in @default hence implicitly allowed anyway. Also, if it is actually blocked then systemd couldn't execute the service in question anymore, since the application of seccomp is immediately followed by it.
2016-11-02seccomp: add clock query and sleeping syscalls to "@default" groupLennart Poettering
Timing and sleep are so basic operations, it makes very little sense to ever block them, hence don't.

2016-10-26detect-virt: add --private-users switch to check if a userns is activeZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Various things don't work when we're running in a user namespace, but it's pretty hard to reliably detect if that is true. A function is added which looks at /proc/self/uid_map and returns false if the default "0 0 UINT32_MAX" is found, and true if it finds anything else. This misses the case where an 1:1 mapping with the full range was used, but I don't know how to distinguish this case. 'systemd-detect-virt --private-users' is very similar to 'systemd-detect-virt --chroot', but we check for a user namespace instead.

2016-10-26seccomp: also block shmat(..., SHM_EXEC) for MemoryDenyWriteExecuteTopi Miettinen
shmat(..., SHM_EXEC) can be used to create writable and executable memory, so let's block it when MemoryDenyWriteExecute is set.

2016-10-24man: sync up the suggested nsswitch.conf configuration for our four NSS modulesLennart Poettering
This unifies the suggested nsswitch.conf configuration for our four NSS modules to this: hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname Note that this restores "myhostname" to the suggested configuration of nss-resolve for the time being, undoing 4484e1792b64b01614f04b7bde97bf019f601bf9. "myhostname" should probably be dropped eventually, but when we do this we should do it in full, and not only drop it from the suggested nsswitch.conf for one of the modules, but also drop it in source and stop referring to it altogether. Note that nss-resolve doesn't replace nss-myhostname in full: the former only works if D-Bus/resolved is available for resolving the local hostname, the latter works in all cases even if D-Bus or resolved are not in operation, hence there's some value in keeping the line as it is right now. Note that neither dns nor myhostname are considered at all with the above configuration unless the resolve module actually returns UNAVAIL. Thus, even though handling of local hostname resolving is implemented twice this way it is only executed once for each lookup.

2016-10-24shared, systemctl: teach is-enabled to show installation targetsJan Synacek
It may be desired by users to know what targets a particular service is installed into. Improve user friendliness by teaching the is-enabled command to show such information when used with --full. This patch makes use of the newly added UnitFileFlags and adds UNIT_FILE_DRY_RUN flag into it. Since the API had already been modified, it's now easy to add the new dry-run feature for other commands as well. As a next step, --dry-run could be added to systemctl, which in turn might pave the way for a long requested dry-run feature when running systemctl start.

This makes journald use the common option parsing functionality. One behavioural change is implemented: "systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog" is now equivalent to "systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog=1". I think it's nicer to use this way.

2016-10-17core/exec: add a named-descriptor option ("fd") for streams (#4179)Luca Bruno
This commit adds a `fd` option to `StandardInput=`, `StandardOutput=` and `StandardError=` properties in order to connect standard streams to externally named descriptors provided by some socket units. This option looks for a file descriptor named as the corresponding stream. Custom names can be specified, separated by a colon. If multiple name-matches exist, the first matching fd will be used.

In certain situations drop-ins in /usr/lib/ are useful, for example when one package wants to modify the behaviour of another package, or the vendor wants to tweak some upstream unit without patching. Drop-ins in /run are useful for testing, and may also be created by systemd itself. Follow-up for the discussion in #2103.

2016-10-14core: make settings for unified cgroup hierarchy supersede the ones for ↵Tejun Heo
legacy hierarchy (#4269) There are overlapping control group resource settings for the unified and legacy hierarchies. To help transition, the settings are translated back and forth. When both versions of a given setting are present, the one matching the cgroup hierarchy type in use is used. Unfortunately, this is more confusing to use and document than necessary because there is no clear static precedence. Update the translation logic so that the settings for the unified hierarchy are always preferred. systemd.resource-control man page is updated to reflect the change and reorganized so that the deprecated settings are at the end in its own section.
