2016-12-13core: store the invocation ID in the per-service keyringLennart Poettering
Let's store the invocation ID in the per-service keyring as a root-owned key, with strict access rights. This has the advantage over the environment-based ID passing that it also works from SUID binaries (as they key cannot be overidden by unprivileged code starting them), in contrast to the secure_getenv() based mode. The invocation ID is now passed in three different ways to a service: - As environment variable $INVOCATION_ID. This is easy to use, but may be overriden by unprivileged code (which might be a bad or a good thing), which means it's incompatible with SUID code (see above). - As extended attribute on the service cgroup. This cannot be overriden by unprivileged code, and may be queried safely from "outside" of a service. However, it is incompatible with containers right now, as unprivileged containers generally cannot set xattrs on cgroupfs. - As "invocation_id" key in the kernel keyring. This has the benefit that the key cannot be changed by unprivileged service code, and thus is safe to access from SUID code (see above). But do note that service code can replace the session keyring with a fresh one that lacks the key. However in that case the key will not be owned by root, which is easily detectable. The keyring is also incompatible with containers right now, as it is not properly namespace aware (but this is being worked on), and thus most container managers mask the keyring-related system calls. Ideally we'd only have one way to pass the invocation ID, but the different ways all have limitations. The invocation ID hookup in journald is currently only available on the host but not in containers, due to the mentioned limitations. How to verify the new invocation ID in the keyring: # systemd-run -t /bin/sh Running as unit: run-rd917366c04f847b480d486017f7239d6.service Press ^] three times within 1s to disconnect TTY. # keyctl show Session Keyring 680208392 --alswrv 0 0 keyring: _ses 250926536 ----s-rv 0 0 \_ user: invocation_id # keyctl request user invocation_id 250926536 # keyctl read 250926536 16 bytes of data in key: 9c96317c ac64495a a42b9cd7 4f3ff96b # echo $INVOCATION_ID 9c96317cac64495aa42b9cd74f3ff96b # ^D This creates a new transient service runnint a shell. Then verifies the contents of the keyring, requests the invocation ID key, and reads its payload. For comparison the invocation ID as passed via the environment variable is also displayed.

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
2016-10-07core: add "invocation ID" concept to service managerLennart Poettering
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.
2016-07-25sd-id128: be more liberal when reading files with 128bit IDsLennart Poettering
Accept both files with and without trailing newlines. Apparently some rkt releases generated them incorrectly, missing the trailing newlines, and we shouldn't break that.
2016-07-22sd-id128: handle NULL return parameter in sd_id128_from_string() nicerLennart Poettering
If the return parameter is NULL, simply validate the string, and return no error.

2016-07-22sd-id128: split UUID file read/write code into new id128-util.[ch]Lennart Poettering
We currently have code to read and write files containing UUIDs at various places. Unify this in id128-util.[ch], and move some other stuff there too. The new files are located in src/libsystemd/sd-id128/ (instead of src/shared/), because they are actually the backend of sd_id128_get_machine() and sd_id128_get_boot(). In follow-up patches we can use this reduce the code in nspawn and machine-id-setup by adopted the common implementation.

This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that stuff in every file.

There are more than enough to deserve their own .c file, hence move them over.
2015-10-24util-lib: split our string related calls from util.[ch] into its own file ↵Lennart Poettering
string-util.[ch] There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve its own files, hence do something about it. This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now. Also touches a few unrelated include files.

2015-03-09Introduce loop_read_exact helperZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Usually when using loop_read(), we want to read the full buffer. Add a helper that mirrors loop_write(), and returns 0 when full buffer was read, and an error otherwise. Use -ENODATA for the short read, to distinguish it from a read error.

If we are bothering to check whether the kernel is not feeding us bad data, we might as well do it properly. CID #1237692.
