2013-06-20nspawn: '-C' option has been removedZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Fixup for 9444b1f "logind: add infrastructure to keep track of machines, and move to slices."
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.
2013-05-10nspawn: only warn about audit when booting the containerDave Reisner
The audit subsystem isn't relevant when nspawn is only being used as a chroot.
2013-05-09nspawn: Include netlink headers rather than using #ifdefColin Walters
This is a better fix than e13e1fad8b231e187bd5de3ce668411bdcd3ac1a for failing to compile without audit that 77b6e19458f37cfde127ec6aa9494c0ac45ad890 introduced.

2013-05-02nspawn: inherit the exit status of containerDave Reisner
If we get as far as successfully starting the container, nspawn should inherit the exit status of the child container process as its own.
2013-05-01cgls: add --machine/-MZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
cg_get_machine_path is modified to include the escaped machine name + ".nspawn" if the machine argument is nonnull.

Also, always accept both our simple hexdump syntax and UUID syntax.
2013-04-29nspawn: add -M option to optstringEvangelos Foutras
This was missed in commit 7027ff61a34a12487712b382a061c654acc3a679 and means that the --machine option would work but not its shorthand, -M.
2013-04-22cgroup: make sure all our cgroup objects have a suffix and are properly escapedLennart Poettering
Session objects will now get the .session suffix, user objects the .user suffix, nspawn containers the .nspawn suffix. This also changes the user cgroups to be named after the numeric UID rather than the username, since this allows us the parse these paths standalone without requiring access to the cgroup file system. This also changes the mapping of instanced units to cgroups. Instead of mapping foo@bar.service to the cgroup path /user/foo@.service/bar we will now map it to /user/foo@.service/foo@bar.service, in order to ensure that all our objects are properly suffixed in the tree.
2013-04-22nspawn: suffix the nspawn cgroups with ".nspawn"Lennart Poettering
As discussed with Dan Berrange it's a good idea to suffix all objects in the cgroup tree with ".something", so that when the system is partitioned using a resource management tool we can drop objects of different types into the same partition directory without generate namespace conflicts. We'l add this to the Pax Control Group document as soon as write access to the fdo wiki is restored.
2013-04-22nspawn: always use cg_get_path() to determine fs path for a cgroupLennart Poettering
2013-04-21systemd,nspawn: use extended attributes to store metadataZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
All attributes are stored as text, since root_directory is already text, and it seems easier to have all of them in text format. Attributes are written in the trusted. namespace, because the kernel currently does not allow user. attributes on cgroups. This is a PITA, and CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to *read* the attributes. Alas. A second pipe is opened for the child to signal the parent that the cgroup hierarchy has been set up.
2013-04-18nspawn: create empty /etc/resolv.conf if necessaryZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
nspawn will overmount resolv.conf if it exists. Since e.g. default install with yum doesn't create /etc/resolv.conf, a container created with yum will not have network. This seems undesirable, and since we overmount the file anyway, let's create it too. Also, mounting a read-write /etc/resolv.conf in the container is treated as a failure, since it makes it possible to modify hosts /etc/resolv.conf from inside the container.

2013-04-16path-util: unify code for detecting OS treesLennart Poettering
This also makes sure we always detect an OS tree the same way, by checking for /etc/os-release.
2013-04-16nspawn: introduce the new /machine/ tree in the cgroup tree and move ↵Lennart Poettering
containers there Containers will now carry a label (normally derived from the root directory name, but configurable by the user), and the container's root cgroup is /machine/<label>. This label is called "machine name", and can cover both containers and VMs (as soon as libvirt also makes use of /machine/). libsystemd-login can be used to query the machine name from a process. This patch also includes numerous clean-ups for the cgroup code.
2013-04-05Use initalization instead of explicit zeroingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second time with the real values. We can let the compiler do the job for us, avoiding one copy. A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively inlined: $ size build/.libs/systemd text data bss dec hex filename before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd … actually less than 1‰. A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as good as an assert.
2013-04-03util: rename write_one_line_file() to write_string_file()Lennart Poettering
You can write much more than just one line with this call (and we frequently do), so let's correct the naming.

2013-02-25Revert "nspawn: catch config mistake of specifying -b and args"Michal Schmidt
This reverts commit cb96a2c69a312fb089fef4501650f4fc40a1420b. It is not a mistake to pass args when -b is specified. They will simply be passed on to the container's init. The manpage needs fixing, that's true.

2013-02-14nspawn: print PID and show how to enter the namespaceZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
systemd-nspawn will now print the PID of the child. An example showing how to enter the container is added to the man page. Support for nsenter without an explicit command was added in https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/5758069 (post v2.22.2). So this example requires both a new kernel and the latest util-linux.
2013-02-14honor SELinux labels, when creating and writing config filesHarald Hoyer
Also split out some fileio functions to fileio.c and provide a SELinux aware pendant in fileio-label.c see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881577
2013-01-26nspawn: assume stdout is always writable if it does not support epollMichal Schmidt
stdout can be redirected to a regular file. Regular files don't support epoll. nspawn failed with: "Failed to register fds in epoll: Operation not permitted". If stdout does not support epoll, assume it's always writable.
2013-01-18nspawn: add audit caps to default set to keepLennart Poettering
Due to the brokeness of much of the userspace audit code we cannot really start too many systems without the audit caps set. To make nspawn easier to use just add the audit caps by default. To boot up containers successfully the kernel's auditing needs to be turned off still (use "audit=0" on the kernel command line), but at least no manual caps have to be passed anymore. In the long run auditing will be fixed for containers and ve virtualized properly at which time it should be safe to enable these caps anyway.

2012-09-16nspawn: mount tmpfs on /dev/shmZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Most things seem to function fine without /dev/shm, but it is expected to be there (quoting linux/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt: glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink)). Since /tmp/ is already mounted as tmpfs, it would be enough to mkdir /tmp/shm and chmod it. Mounting it separately has the advantage that it can be easily remounted to change the quota.
