2015-11-18tree-wide: sort includes in *.hThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
This is a continuation of the previous include sort patch, which only sorted for .c files.
2015-08-05logind: switch to sd_bus_track helperDaniel Mack
Let logind use the sd_bus_track helper object to track the controllers of sessions. This does not only remove quite some code but also kills the unconditional matches for all NameOwnerChanged signals. The latter is something we should never ever do, as it wakes up the daemon every time a client connects, which doesn't scale.
2015-07-10logind: rename 'pos' to 'position'David Herrmann
Spell out the proper name. Use 'pos' over 'position', and also update the logind state file to do the same. Note that this breaks live updates. However, we only save 'POSITION' on non-seat0, so this shouldn't bother anyone for real. If you run multi-seat setups, you better restart a machine on updates, anyway.
2015-06-11build-sys: split internal basic/ library from shared/Kay Sievers
basic/ can be used by everything cannot use anything outside of basic/ libsystemd/ can use basic/ cannot use shared/ shared/ can use libsystemd/
2015-04-29sd-bus: drop bus parameter from message callback prototypeLennart Poettering
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
2015-03-15logind: check return value of session_releaseZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It allocates memory, so it can fail. CID #1237527.
2015-02-23remove unused includesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
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.
2015-02-18logind: open up most bus calls for unpriviliged processes, using PolicyKitLennart Poettering
Also, allow clients to alter their own objects without any further priviliges. i.e. this allows clients to kill and lock their own sessions without involving PK.
2014-09-19login: pause devices before acknowledging VT switchesDavid Herrmann
If a session controller does not need synchronous VT switches, we allow them to pass VT control to logind, which acknowledges all VT switches unconditionally. This works fine with all sessions using the dbus API, but causes out-of-sync device use if we switch to legacy sessions that are notified via VT signals. Those are processed before logind notices the session-switch via sysfs. Therefore, leaving the old session still active for a short amount of time. This, in fact, may cause the legacy session to prepare graphics devices before the old session was deactivated, and thus, maybe causing the old session to interfer with graphics device usage. Fix this by releasing devices immediately before acknowledging VT switches. This way, sessions without VT handlers are required to support async session switching (which they do in that case, anyway).
2014-08-14logind: add new session type "web" for PAM web clients, such as cockpitLennart Poettering
On request of Stef Walter.
2014-08-13login: share VT-signal handler between sessionsDavid Herrmann
sd-event does not allow multiple handlers for a single signal. However, logind sets up signal handlers for each session with VT_PROCESS set (that is, it has an active controller). Therefore, registering multiple such controllers will fail. Lets make the VT-handler global, as it's mostly trivial, anyway. This way, the sessions don't have to take care of that and we can simply acknowledge all VT-switch requests as we always did.
2014-08-11login: set_controller should fail if prepare_vt failsOlivier Brunel
If controllers can expect logind to have "prepared" the VT (e.g. set it to graphics mode, etc) then TakeControl() should fail if said preparation failed (and session_restore_vt() was called). (David: fixed up !CONFIG_VT case and errno-numbers)

2014-05-19logind: fix Display property of user objectsLennart Poettering
When we dropped support for creating a per-user to the "main" X11 display we stopped returning useful data in the "Display" user property. With this change this is fixed and we again expose an appropriate (graphical session) in the property that is useful as the "main" one, if one is needed.
2014-04-23login: rename session_mute_vt() to session_prepare_vt()David Herrmann
This function is no longer just about muteing the VT. We do all kinds of VT setup for sessions using the controller-API. Rename the function to something more appropriate.
2014-04-09login: add 'mir' to the list of session typesDavid Herrmann
Add Mir to the list of session types. This is implemented for LightDM in lp:~robert-ancell/lightdm/xdg-session-desktop [1]. [1] https://code.launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/lightdm/xdg-session-desktop/+merge/214108 (david: adjusted commit-header and fixed whitespace issues)
2014-02-11logind: always kill session when termination is requestedZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
KillUserProcesses=yes/no should be ignored when termination is explicitly requested.
2014-02-07logind: rework session shutdown logicLennart Poettering
Simplify the shutdown logic a bit: - Keep the session FIFO around in the PAM module, even after the session shutdown hook has been finished. This allows logind to track precisely when the PAM handler goes away. - In the ReleaseSession() call start a timer, that will stop terminate the session when elapsed. - Never fiddle with the KillMode of scopes to configure whether user processes should be killed or not. Instead, simply leave the scope units around when we terminate a session whose processes should not be killed. - When killing is enabled, stop the session scope on FIFO EOF or after the ReleaseSession() timeout. When killing is disabled, simply tell PID 1 to abandon the scope. Because the scopes stay around and hence all processes are always member of a scope, the system shutdown logic should be more robust, as the scopes can be shutdown as part of the usual shutdown logic.
2014-02-05man: introduce new "Desktop" property for sessionsLennart Poettering
This is initialized from XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP and is useful for GNOME to recognize its own sessions. It's supposed to be set to a short string identifying the session, such as "kde" or "gnome".
2014-02-05logind: add new "wayland" session typeLennart Poettering
2014-01-20logind: introduce session "positions"David Herrmann
logind has no concept of session ordering. Sessions have a unique name, some attributes about the capabilities and that's already it. There is currently no stable+total order on sessions. If we use the logind API to switch between sessions, we are faced with an unordered list of sessions we have no clue of. This used to be no problem on seats with VTs or on seats with only a single active session. However, with the introduction of multi-session capability for seats without VTs, we need to find a way to order sessions in a stable way. This patch introduces session "positions". A position is a simple integer assigned to a session which is never changed implicitly (currently, we also don't change it explicitly, but that may be changed someday). For seats with VTs, we force the position to be the same as the VTnr. Without VTs, we simply find the lowest unassigned number and use it as position. If position-assignment fails or if, for any reason, we decide to not assign a position to a session, the position is set to 0 (which is treated as invalid position). During session_load() or if two sessions have the same VTnr, we may end up with two sessions with the same position (this shouldn't happen, but lets be fail-safe in case some other part of the stack fails). This case is dealt with gracefully by ignoring any session but the first session assigned to the position. Thus, session->pos is a hint, seat->positions[i] is the definite position-assignment. Always verify both match in case you need to modify them! Additionally, we introduce SwitchTo(unsigned int) on the seat-dbus-API. You can call it with any integer value != 0 and logind will try to switch to the request position. If you implement a compositor or any other session-controller, you simply watch for ctrl+alt+F1 to F12 and call SwitchTo(Fx). logind will figure a way out deal with this number. For convenience, we also introduce SwitchToNext/Previous(). It should be called on ctrl+alt+Left/Right (like the kernel-console used to support). Note that the public API (SwitchTo*()) is *not* bound to the underlying logic that is implemented now. We don't export "session-positions" on the dbus/C API! They are an implementation detail. Instead, the SwitchTo*() API is supposed to be a hint to let logind choose the session-switching logic. Any foreground session-controller is free to enumerate/order existing sessions according to their needs and call Session.Activate() manually. But the SwitchTo*() API provides a uniform behavior across session-controllers. Background: Session-switching keys depend on the active keymap. The XKB specification provides the XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_1-12 key-symbols which have to be mapped by all keymaps to allow session-switching. It is usually bound to ctrl+alt+Fx but may be set differently. A compositor passes any keyboard input to XKB before passing it to clients. In case a key-press invokes the XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_x action, the keypress is *not* forwarded to clients, but instead a session-switch is scheduled. This actually prevents us from handling these keys outside of the session. If an active compositor has a keymap with a different mapping of these keys, and logind itself tries to catch these combinations, we end up with the key-press sent to the compositor's clients *and* handled by logind. This is *bad* and we must avoid this. The only situation where a background process is allowed to handle key-presses is debugging and emergency-keys. In these cases, we don't care for keymap mismatches and accept the double-event. Another exception is unmapped keys like PowerOff/Suspend (even though this one is controversial).
2013-11-28logind: remove unused session->closing fieldDavid Herrmann
This field is always false, drop it. If you want a reliable way to get session state, call session_get_state(). Testing for any flags directly doesn't work currently so don't pretend it would.
2013-11-28logind: make VT numbers unsignedDavid Herrmann
Fix the whole code to use "unsigned int" for vtnr. 0 is an invalid vtnr so we don't need negative numbers at all. Note that most code already assumes it's unsigned so in case there's a negative vtnr, our code may, under special circumstances, silently break. So this patch makes sure all sources of vtnrs verify the validity. Also note that the dbus api already uses unsigned ints.
2013-11-28logind: mute/restore VT on behalf of session controllersDavid Herrmann
If a session process calls TakeControl(), we now put the VT into KD_GRAPHICS+K_OFF mode. This way, the new session controller can solely rely on the logind-dbus API to manage the session. Once the controller exits or calls ReleaseControl(), we restore the VT. We also restore it, if we lost a controller during crash/restart (but only if there really *was* a controller previously). Note that we also must put the VT into VT_PROCESS mode. We want VT_AUTO semantics, but VT_AUTO+KD_GRAPHICS actually disables *all* VT switches (who came up with that great idea?). Hence, we set VT_PROCESS for logind but acknowledge *all* requests immediately. If a compositor wants custom VT setups, they can still get this by *first* calling TakeControl() and afterwards setting up the VT. logind doesn't touch the VT during controller runtime, only during setup/teardown. This is actually what weston already does.
2013-11-22bus: also add error parameter to object find and enumerator callbacksLennart Poettering
Just in order to bring things inline with the method and property callbacks.
2013-11-05logind: port logind to libsystemd-busLennart Poettering
2013-09-17logind: introduce session-devicesDavid Herrmann
A session-device is a device that is bound to a seat and used by a session-controller to run the session. This currently includes DRM, fbdev and evdev devices. A session-device can be created via RequestDevice() on the dbus API of the session. You can drop it via ReleaseDevice() again. Once the session is destroyed or you drop control of the session, all session-devices are automatically destroyed. Session devices follow the session "active" state. A device can be active/running or inactive/paused. Whenever a session is not the active session, no session-device of it can be active. That is, if a session is not in foreground, all session-devices are paused. Whenever a session becomes active, all devices are resumed/activated by logind. If it fails, a device may stay paused. With every session-device you request, you also get a file-descriptor back. logind keeps a copy of this fd and uses kernel specific calls to pause/resume the file-descriptors. For example, a DRM fd is muted by logind as long as a given session is not active. Hence, the fd of the application is also muted. Once the session gets active, logind unmutes the fd and the application will get DRM access again. This, however, requires kernel support. DRM devices provide DRM-Master for synchronization, evdev devices have EVIOCREVOKE (pending on linux-input-ML). fbdev devices do not provide such synchronization methods (and never will). Note that for evdev devices, we call EVIOCREVOKE once a session gets inactive. However, this cannot be undone (the fd is still valid but mostly unusable). So we reopen a new fd once the session is activated and send it together with the ResumeDevice() signal. With this infrastructure in place, compositors can now run without CAP_SYS_ADMIN (that is, without being root). They use RequestControl() to acquire a session and listen for devices via udev_monitor. For every device they want to open, they call RequestDevice() on logind. This returns a fd which they can use now. They no longer have to open the devices themselves or call any privileged ioctls. This is all done by logind. Session-switches are still bound to VTs. Hence, compositors will get notified via the usual VT mechanisms and can cleanup their state. Once the VT switch is acknowledged as usual, logind will get notified via sysfs and pause the old-session's devices and resume the devices of the new session. To allow using this infrastructure with systems without VTs, we provide notification signals. logind sends PauseDevice("force") dbus signals to the current session controller for every device that it pauses. And it sends ResumeDevice signals for every device that it resumes. For seats with VTs this is sent _after_ the VT switch is acknowledged. Because the compositor already acknowledged that it cleaned-up all devices. However, for seats without VTs, this is used to notify the active compositor that the session is about to be deactivated. That is, logind sends PauseDevice("force") for each active device and then performs the session-switch. The session-switch changes the "Active" property of the session which can be monitored by the compositor. The new session is activated and the ResumeDevice events are sent. For seats without VTs, this is a forced session-switch. As this is not backwards-compatible (xserver actually crashes, weston drops the related devices, ..) we also provide an acknowledged session-switch. Note that this is never used for sessions with VTs. You use the acknowledged VT-switch on these seats. An acknowledged session switch sends PauseDevice("pause") instead of PauseDevice("force") to the active session. It schedules a short timeout and waits for the session to acknowledge each of them with PauseDeviceComplete(). Once all are acknowledged, or the session ran out of time, a PauseDevice("force") is sent for all remaining active devices and the session switch is performed. Note that this is only partially implemented, yet, as we don't allow multi-session without VTs, yet. A follow up commit will hook it up and implemented the acknowledgements+timeout. The implementation is quite simple. We use major/minor exclusively to identify devices on the bus. On RequestDevice() we retrieve the udev_device from the major/minor and search for an existing "Device" object. If no exists, we create it. This guarantees us that we are notified whenever the device changes seats or is removed. We create a new SessionDevice object and link it to the related Session and Device. Session->devices is a hashtable to lookup SessionDevice objects via major/minor. Device->session_devices is a linked list so we can release all linked session-devices once a device vanishes. Now we only have to hook this up in seat_set_active() so we correctly change device states during session-switches. As mentioned earlier, these are forced state-changes as VTs are currently used exclusively for multi-session implementations. Everything else are hooks to release all session-devices once the controller changes or a session is closed or removed.
2013-09-17logind: add session controllersDavid Herrmann
A session usually has only a single compositor or other application that controls graphics and input devices on it. To avoid multiple applications from hijacking each other's devices or even using the devices in parallel, we add session controllers. A session controller is an application that manages a session. Specific API calls may be limited to controllers to avoid others from getting unprivileged access to restricted resources. A session becomes a controller by calling the RequestControl() dbus API call. It can drop it via ReleaseControl(). logind tracks bus-names to release the controller once an application closes the bus. We use the new bus-name tracking to do that. Note that during ReleaseControl() we need to check whether some other session also tracks the name before we remove it from the bus-name tracking list. Currently, we only allow one controller at a time. However, the public API does not enforce this restriction. So if it makes sense, we can allow multiple controllers in parallel later. Or we can add a "scope" parameter, which allows a different controller for graphics-devices, sound-devices and whatever you want. Note that currently you get -EBUSY if there is already a controller. You can force the RequestControl() call (root-only) to drop the current controller and recover the session during an emergency. To recover a seat, this is not needed, though. You can simply create a new session or force-activate it. To become a session controller, a dbus caller must either be root or the same user as the user of the session. This allows us to run a session compositor as user and we no longer need any CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

2013-08-13logind: restore logic to kill user processes when session endsLennart Poettering
2013-07-02logind: port over to use scopes+slices for all cgroup stuffLennart Poettering
In order to prepare things for the single-writer cgroup scheme, let's make logind use systemd's own primitives for cgroup management. Every login user now gets his own private slice unit, in which his sessions live in a scope unit each. Also, add user@$UID.service to the same slice, and implicitly start it on first login.
2013-06-20logind: add infrastructure to keep track of machines, and move to slicesLennart Poettering
- This changes all logind cgroup objects to use slice objects rather than fixed croup locations. - logind can now collect minimal information about running VMs/containers. As fixed cgroup locations can no longer be used we need an entity that keeps track of machine cgroups in whatever slice they might be located. Since logind already keeps track of users, sessions and seats this is a trivial addition. - nspawn will now register with logind and pass various bits of metadata along. A new option "--slice=" has been added to place the container in a specific slice. - loginctl gained commands to list, introspect and terminate machines. - user.slice and machine.slice will now be pulled in by logind.service, since only logind.service requires this slice.
2013-05-02Add __attribute__((const, pure, format)) in various placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I'm assuming that it's fine if a _const_ or _pure_ function calls assert. It is assumed that the assert won't trigger, and even if it does, it can only trigger on the first call with a given set of parameters, and we don't care if the compiler moves the order of calls.
2013-04-09logind: introduce an explicit session class for cronjobs and similarLennart Poettering
cronjobs are neither interactive user session, nor lock screens, nor login screens, hence they should get their own class.
2012-10-30logind: unify all session lock loopLennart Poettering
2012-07-19use #pragma once instead of foo*foo #define guardsShawn Landden
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported in other compilers. I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place, almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior alternative exists. I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon. v2 - preserve externally used headers
2012-06-21logind: introduce a state for session, being one of online, active, closingLennart Poettering
online = logged in active = logged in and session is in the fg closing = nominally logged out but some left-over processes still around Related to: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677556
2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
2012-02-14login: track login class (i.e. one of "user", "greeter", "lock-screen") for ↵Lennart Poettering
each session This introduces the new PAM environment variable XDG_SESSION_CLASS. If not set, defaults to "user". This is useful for apps that want to distuingish real user logins from "fake" ones which just exist to show a gdm login screen or a lock screen.
2011-12-31logind: move logind into its own subdirectoryLennart Poettering
