Very old versions of meson did not include the subdirectory name in the
target name, so we started adding various "top-level" custom targets in
subdirectories. This was nice because the main meson.build file wasn't
as cluttered. But then meson started including the subdir name in the
target name. So let's move the definition to the root so we can have all
targets named uniformly.
While it's perfectly possible today to completely rely on mkosi for
building and testing systemd, to get code completion and other IDE
niceties to work properly, it's still necessary to build systemd
locally.
Recently, mkosi gained the ability to allow external programs to
communicate with the build script. We can use this feature to run
the clangd language server in the mkosi build image via a custom
build script to provide IDE features in editors without requiring
developers to build systemd on the host or install any of systemd's
build dependencies locally.
This commit adds the necessary information on how to set this up
to HACKING.md.
This adds the support for veritytab.
The veritytab file contains at most five fields, the first four are
mandatory, the last one is optional:
- The first field contains the name of the resulting verity volume; its
block device is set up /dev/mapper/</filename>.
- The second field contains a path to the underlying block data device,
or a specification of a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID.
- The third field contains a path to the underlying block hash device,
or a specification of a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID.
- The fourth field is the roothash in hexadecimal.
- The fifth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of options.
The following options are recognized only: ignore-corruption,
restart-on-corruption, panic-on-corruption, ignore-zero-blocks,
check-at-most-once and root-hash-signature. The others options will
be implemented later.
Also, this adds support for the new kernel verity command line boolean
option "veritytab" which enables the read for veritytab, and the new
environment variable SYSTEMD_VERITYTAB which sets the path to the file
veritytab to read.
Sometimes, non-ramfs initrd root are useful. Eg, for kdump, because
initramfs is memory consuming, so mount a compressed image in earlier
initrd, chroot into it then let systemd do the rest of job is a good
solution.
But systemd doesn't recognize the initrd environment if rootfs is not a
temporary fs. This is a reasonable check, because switch-root in initrd
will wipe the whole rootfs, will be a disaster if there are any
misdetect.
So extend SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD environment variable, now it accepts boolean
value and two extra keyword, "auto" and "lenient". "auto" is same as
before, and it's the default value. "lenient" will let systemd bypass
the rootfs check.
The boot loader specification link points to the boot loader interface
documentation.
This fixes the link to point to BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION instead of
BOOTLOADER_INTERFACE which is itself.
This only changes documentation. In various places we call "ninja"
directly. I figured it would be safer to leave those in place for now,
given the meson replacement commands lines appears to be supported in
newer meson versions only.
FixedRandomDelay=yes will use
`siphash24(sd_id128_get_machine() || MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM(m) || getuid() || u->id)`,
where || is concatenation, instead of a random number to choose a value between
0 and RandomizedDelaySec= as the timer delay.
This essentially sets up a fixed, but seemingly random, offset for each timer
iteration rather than having a random offset recalculated each time it fires.
Closes#10355

Primarily:
1. Mention that we prefer if return parameters carry "ret_" as prefix in
their name
2. Clarify that debug-level logging is always OK, and irrelevant to when
deciding whether a function is logging or non-logging.
We have three somewhat separate ideas: what the directory is for, what $TMPDIR is for, and security considerations.
Let's use paragraphs.
Also, conjunctions in titles aren't capitalized usually.
It makes little sense to make the boundary between systemd and user guids
configurable. Nevertheless, a completely fixed compile-time define is not
enough in two scenarios:
- the systemd_uid_max boundary has moved over time. The default used to be
500 for a long time. Systems which are upgraded over time might have users
in the wrong range, but changing existing systems is complicated and
expensive (offline disks, backups, remote systems, read-only media, etc.)
- systems are used in a heterogenous enviornment, where some vendors pick
one value and others another.
So let's make this boundary overridable using /etc/login.defs.
Fixes#3855, #10184.
This means that the dbus doc consistency checks will be enabled by default,
including in the CI. I think that will work better than current state where
people do not enable them and them follow-up patches for the docs like the
parent commit must be had.
With new directive SystemCallLog= it's possible to list system calls to be
logged. This can be used for auditing or temporarily when constructing system
call filters.

v5: drop intermediary, update HASHMAP_FOREACH_KEY() use
v4: skip useless debug messages, actually parse directive
v3: don't declare unused variables with old libseccomp
v2: fix build without seccomp or old libseccomp
Kernel 5.8 gained a hidepid= implementation that is truly per procfs,
which allows us to mount a distinct once into every unit, with
individual hidepid= settings. Let's expose this via two new settings:
ProtectProc= (wrapping hidpid=) and ProcSubset= (wrapping subset=).
Replaces: #11670
This specification is useful independently of UEFI, so avoid making assertions
about UEFI. Also reword the intro to say what this is about in the very first
sentence. Closes#16570.
Defaulting to fedora makes it a pain to override mkosi.default
point to one of the other mkosi settings files. Instead, have
every developer manually add the symlink to his distro
of choice and don't commit the symlink to the repository by
putting it in the .gitignore.
Now that we make the user/group name resolving available via userdb and
thus nss-systemd, we do not need the UID/GID resolving support in
nss-mymachines anymore. Let's drop it hence.
We keep the module around, since besides UID/GID resolving it also does
hostname resolving, which we care about. (One of those days we should
replace that by some Varlink logic between
nss-resolve/systemd-resolved.service too)
The hooks are kept in the NSS module, but they do not resolve anything
anymore, in order to keep compat at a maximum.
sssd people don't like enumeration and for some other cases it's not
nice to support either, in particular when synthesizing records for
container/userns UID/GID ranges.
Hence, let's make enumeration optional.
We'd like to use it for FIDO2 tokens too, and the concept is entirely
generic, hence let's just reuse the field, but rename it. Read the old
name for compatibility, and treat the old name and the new name as
identical for most purposes.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
In order to allow applications to detect the host OS version or other
metadata, ask container managers to expose the os-release files as
read-only bind mounts.
For systemd-nspawn, we will also expose ID, BUILD_ID, VERSION_ID and
VARIANT_ID as lowercase environment variables prefixed by the
container_host_ string.
One problem found with the current draft specification is we can't have
an application provide a non-transient systemd service file in a way
that is spec compliant as the service name currently needs to end in a
random token defined by the launcher.
This came up when trying to put DBus activated services into the correct
cgroup. There isn't enough metadata in the DBus service file to know the
correct application ID, and the most intuitive fix is for those
applications to just specify the SystemdService file in the existing
system. They're generally unique for a given user session anyway so
don't need a separate cgroup identifier.
This changes the spec for RANDOM to be optional for services.
It also changes the separator between in services to act like templates.
Ultimately that's what we're trying to recreate with the RANDOM token of
the systemd service and it's a better fit. It's needed as otherwise with
launcher and the random ident being both optional it would be impossible
to get the application ID reliably.
Scopes are unchanged as they don't support templates.
The old version of this command will delete everything under the new home directory (including `.identity`), rendering the directory unusable with homed.
We need both a slice name and a prefix for application units. For
consistency we tried to use the same name and ended up standardising on
"apps.slice" and and "apps-" prefix for the units.
However, "app-" would be a more natural prefix for applications. And it
is no problem to simply also name the slice "app.slice" for consistency
rather than keeping the current "apps.slice".
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
This is work in progress and not finished yet. However, I hope to have
captured some of the key points that came up in previous discussions
with appropriate notes about things that still need to be defined.
I may revisit it later. Also, feel free to completely rewrite if the
format is not quite right.
I assume it’s supposed to be “see Home Directories for details” and not
“… and embeds these JSON records directly in the home directory images …
for details”, but the previous text suggested the latter reading to me.
According to the designer of the page layout a page only should have one
h1 header, and everything else should be h2, h3, … I think that makes a
ton of sense, hence let's downgrade some headers here.
This way we can use libxcrypt specific functionality such as
crypt_gensalt() and thus take benefit of the newer algorithms libxcrypt
implements. (Also adds support for a new env var $SYSTEMD_CRYPT_PREFIX
which may be used to select the hash algorithm to use for libxcrypt.)
Also, let's move the weird crypt.h inclusion into libcrypt.h so that
there's a single place for it.
I think it makes sense to keep the "The" in place for the actual page's
title, but let's drop it from the categorization header, to make it
easier to find stuff, as the "The" isn't helpful to that.
In particular as we sometimes do it this and sometimes the other way so
far, hence let's stick to one common rule.
In the wiki, this was a separate page. I don't think this split is useful,
since the information about what is stable and what not seems randomly split
between the two pages.
Links are adjusted for our own pages. Some external links to gentoo and other
projects seem to be broken, but it's a chore to fix them.
Instead of saying that patches for portability are not accepted, say that this
is decided case-by-case. This is what happens in practice, and we tend to
discuss each patch on its own merits.
Some sentences are reworded a bit where they sound awkward.
The only non-stylistic change is to replace descriptions of how we are
encouraging people to use PrivateTmp= and such, because now they are widely
used.
@bertob wants us to be strict here, and only have one "#" header per
markdown file, and use "##" (or "###", …) for all others. Interestingly,
we mostly got this right already, but this fixes a few cases where this
wasn't correct.
Let's use the rough categorization of the markdown pages to add basic
sections, via Jeykll templating. Also, add in a couple of additional
links via a JSON array that lists them.
So much web development, so much wow!
Doing this manually seem to work only so well, but it is indeed hard to generate
automatically. Let's add the stuff that is missing for now.
AddRef= is not a unit file setting, remove it from the list.
This makes the naming more consistent: we now have
bootctl systemd-efi-options,
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS
and the SystemdOptions EFI variable.
(SystemdEFIOptions would be redundant, because it is only used in the context
of efivars, and users don't interact with that name directly.)
bootctl is adjusted to use 2sp indentation, similarly to systemctl and other
programs.
Remove the prefix with the old name from 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' output,
since it's redundant and we don't want the old name anyway.
I added a fairly vague entry to docs/ENVIRONMENT because I think it is worth
mentioning there (in case someone is looking for any environment variable that
might be relevant).
Device tree overlays are a convenient way to patch device trees, e.g.,
add new devices to a device tree or enable/disable devices. This is
useful for non-discoverable but configurable hardware. Device tree
overlays are commonly used for displays on the Raspberry Pi or for
describing the content of FPGA bitstreams.
Add the devicetree-overlay key to boot loader specification entries to
allow boot loaders to apply overlays.
