sysusers: add minimal tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group from static files systemd-sysusers is a tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group from static definition files that take a lot of inspiration from tmpfiles snippets. These snippets should carry information about system users only. To make sure it is not misused for normal users these snippets only allow configuring UID and gecos field for each user, but do not allow configuration of the home directory or shell, which is necessary for real login users. The purpose of this tool is to enable state-less systems that can populate /etc with the minimal files necessary, solely from static data in /usr. systemd-sysuser is additive only, and will never override existing users. This tool will create these files directly, and not via some user database abtsraction layer. This is appropriate as this tool is supposed to run really early at boot, and is only useful for creating system users, and system users cannot be stored in remote databases anyway. The tool is also useful to be invoked from RPM scriptlets, instead of useradd. This allows moving from imperative user descriptions in RPM to declarative descriptions. The UID/GID for a user/group to be created can either be chosen dynamic, or fixed, or be read from the owner of a file in the file system, in order to support reconstructing the correct IDs for files that shall be owned by them. This also adds a minimal user definition file, that should be sufficient for most basic systems. Distributions are expected to patch these files and augment the contents, for example with fixed UIDs for the users where that's necessary.

rules: add a rule to set /dev/kvm access mode and ownership (#5597) Kernel default mode is 0600, but distributions change it to group kvm, mode either 0660 (e.g. Debian) or 0666 (e.g. Fedora). Both approaches have valid reasons (a stricter mode limits exposure to bugs in the kvm subsystem, a looser mode makes libvirt and other virtualization mechanisms work out of the box for unprivileged users over ssh). In Fedora the qemu package carries the relevant rule, but it's nicer to have it in systemd, so that the permissions are not dependent on the qemu package being installed. Use of packaged qemu binaries is not required to make use of /dev/kvm, e.g. it's possible to use a self-compiled qemu or some alternative. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1431876 To accomodate both approaches, add a rule to set the mode in 50-udev-default.rules, but allow the mode to be overridden with a --with-dev-kvm-mode configure rule. The default is 0660, as the (slightly) more secure option.

# Default group for normal users
sysusers: Provide meson argument to set gid for 'users' group (#7533) To allow better integration with distributions requiring an explicitly set gid for the `users` group, provide the new `-Dusers-gid` option to set to a new numeric value. In the absence of a specified gid, we'll fallback to the default existing behaviour of `-` as the gid value, to automatically assign the next available gid on the system.
