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().

It allocates memory, so it can fail.

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.

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.

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).

On request of Stef Walter.
|
|
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.
|
|
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).

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.

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.

KillUserProcesses=yes/no should be ignored when termination is
explicitly requested.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
|
|
- 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.

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.

cronjobs are neither interactive user session, nor lock screens, nor
login screens, hence they should get their own class.

#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

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.

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.
