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.

This adds two (privileged) bus calls Ref() and Unref() to the Unit interface.
The two calls may be used by clients to pin a unit into memory, so that various
runtime properties aren't flushed out by the automatic GC. This is necessary
to permit clients to race-freely acquire runtime results (such as process exit
status/code or accumulated CPU time) on successful service termination.
Ref() and Unref() are fully recursive, hence act like the usual reference
counting concept in C. Taking a reference is a privileged operation, as this
allows pinning units into memory which consumes resources.
Transient units may also gain a reference at the time of creation, via the new
AddRef property (that is only defined for transient units at the time of
creation).

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

be enabled
We don't allow using config symlinks to enable units, but the error message we
printed was awful. Fix that, and generate a more readable error.
Fixes #3010.

Let's be precise when the user tries to invoke an "enable" operation on a
generated unit file.
|
|
|
|
This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that
stuff in every file.

the network is down
|

This is useful for alternative network management solutions (such as NetworkManager) to push DNS configuration data
into resolved.
The calls will fail should networkd already have taken possesion of a link, so that the bus API is only available if
we don't get the data from networkd.

supporting them
If we already degraded the feature level below DO don't bother with sending requests for DS, DNSKEY, RRSIG, NSEC, NSEC3
or NSEC3PARAM RRs. After all, we cannot do DNSSEC validation then anyway, and we better not press a legacy server like
this with such modern concepts.
This also has the benefit that when we try to validate a response we received using DNSSEC, and we detect a limited
server support level while doing so, all further auxiliary DNSSEC queries will fail right-away.

Since we honour RFC5011 revoked keys it might happen we end up with an
empty trust anchor, or one where there's no entry for the root left.
With this patch the logic is changed what to do in this case.
Before this patch we'd end up requesting the root DS, which returns with
NODATA but a signed NSEC we cannot verify, since the trust anchor is
empty after all. Thus we'd return a DNSSEC result of "missing-key", as
we lack a verified version of the key.
With this patch in place, look-ups for the root DS are explicitly
recognized, and not passed on to the DNS servers. Instead, if
downgrade-ok mode is on an unsigned NODATA response is synthesized, so
that the validator code continues under the assumption the root zone was
unsigned. If downgrade-ok mode is off a new transaction failure is
generated, that makes this case recognizable.

via TCP
Previously, if we couldn't reach a server via UDP we'd generate an
MAX_ATTEMPTS transaction result, but if we couldn't reach it via TCP
we'd generate a RESOURCES transaction result. While it is OK to generate
two different errors I think, "RESOURCES" is certainly a misnomer.
Introduce a new transaction result "CONNECTION_FAILURE" instead.

Given a container "foo", that maps user id $UID to container user, using
user namespaces, this NSS module extenstion will now map the $UID to a
name "vu-foo-$TUID" for the translated UID $UID.
Similar, userns groups are mapped to "vg-foo-$TGID" for translated GIDs
of $GID.
This simple change should make userns users more discoverable. Also,
given that many tools like "adduser" check NSS before allocating a UID,
should lower the chance of UID range conflicts between tools.

Right now, if you're already in a session and call CreateSession, we
return information about the current session of yours. This is highy
confusing and a nasty hack. Avoid that, and instead return a commonly
known error, so the caller can detect that.
This has the side-effect, that we no longer override XDG_VTNR and XDG_SEAT
in pam_systemd, if you're already in a session. But this sounds like the
right thing to do, anyway.

This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.

client to it
The old "systemd-import" binary is now an internal tool. We still use it
as asynchronous backend for systemd-importd. Since the import tool might
require some IO and CPU resources (due to qcow2 explosion, and
decompression), and because we might want to run it with more minimal
priviliges we still keep it around as the worker binary to execute as
child process of importd.
machinectl now has verbs for pulling down images, cancelling them and
listing them.
