Make possible to set NUMA allocation policy for manager. Manager's
policy is by default inherited to all forked off processes. However, it
is possible to override the policy on per-service basis. Currently we
support, these policies: default, prefer, bind, interleave, local.
See man 2 set_mempolicy for details on each policy.
Overall NUMA policy actually consists of two parts. Policy itself and
bitmask representing NUMA nodes where is policy effective. Node mask can
be specified using related option, NUMAMask. Default mask can be
overwritten on per-service level.
These options are pretty much equivalent to "journal" and
"journal+console" anyway, let's simplify things, and drop them from the
documentation hence.
For compat reasons let's keep them in the code.
(Note that they are not 100% identical to 'journal', but I doubt the
distinction in behaviour is really relevant to keep this in the docs.
And we should probably should drop 'syslog' entirely from our codebase
eventually, but it's problematic as long as we semi-support udev on
non-systemd systems still.)
This makes the handling of this option match what we do in unit files. I think
consistency is important here. (As it happens, it is the only option in
system.conf that is "non-atomic", i.e. where there's a list of things which can
be split over multiple assignments. All other options are single-valued, so
there's no issue of how to handle multiple assignments.)

Apparently this is still confusing for people.
Longer-term, I think we should just make BindMount= automatically "upgrade"
(or "downgrade", depending on how you look at this), any InaccessiblePath=
mountpoints to "tmpfs". I don't see much point in forcing users to remember
this interaction. But let's at least document the status quo, we can always
update the docs if the code changes.
Let's be safe, rather than sorry. This way DynamicUser=yes services can
neither take benefit of, nor create SUID/SGID binaries.
Given that DynamicUser= is a recent addition only we should be able to
get away with turning this on, even though this is strictly speaking a
binary compatibility breakage.
Let's avoid confusion whether the root is at the top or of the bottom of
the directory tree. Moreover we use "innermost" further down for the
same concept, so let's stick to the same terminology here.
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
Let services use a private UTS namespace. In addition, a seccomp filter is
installed on set{host,domain}name and a ro bind mounts on
/proc/sys/kernel/{host,domain}name.
This changes the ProtectSystem= documentation to refer in more explicit
words to the restrictions of ReadOnlyPath=, as sugegsted in #9857.
THis also extends the paragraph in ReadOnlyPath= that explains the hole.
Fixes: #9857
Add LogRateLimitIntervalSec= and LogRateLimitBurst= options for
services. If provided, these values get passed to the journald
client context, and those values are used in the rate limiting
function in the journal over the the journald.conf values.
Part of #10230
The behaviour described *was* observed on Fedora 28
(systemd-238-9.git0e0aa59), with and without SELinux. I don't actually
know why though! It contradicts my understanding of the code, including an
explicit comment in the code.
Testing in a VM upgraded to v239-792-g1327f272d, this behaviour goes away.
Test case:

RootImage= may require the following settings
```
DeviceAllow=/dev/loop-control rw
DeviceAllow=block-loop rwm

```
This adds the following settings implicitly when RootImage= is
specified.
Fixes#9737.
Currently we employ mostly system call blacklisting for our system
services. Let's add a new system call filter group @system-service that
helps turning this around into a whitelist by default.
The new group is very similar to nspawn's default filter list, but in
some ways more restricted (as sethostname() and suchlike shouldn't be
available to most system services just like that) and in others more
relaxed (for example @keyring is blocked in nspawn since it's not
properly virtualized yet in the kernel, but is fine for regular system
services).
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.
$ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Since StandardOutput=file:path is more similar to StandardInput= than
StandardInputText=, and only StandardInput= is actually documented above
StandardOutput= whereas StandardInputText= is documented below it, I
assume the intention was to refer to the former.
Previously, reading through systemd.exec(5) one might get the idea that
XDG_SEAT and XDG_VTNR are part of the service management logic, but they
are not, they are only set if pam_systemd is part of a PAM stack an
pam_systemd is used.
Hence, let's drop these env vars from the list of env vars, and instead
add a paragraph after the list mentioning that pam_systemd might add
more systemd-specific env vars if included in the PAM stack for a
service that uses PAMName=.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Before this change all unit types would default to "private" in the
system service manager and "inherit" to in the user service manager.
With this change this is slightly altered: non-service units of the
system service manager are now run with KeyringMode=shared. This appears
to be the more appropriate choice as isolation is not as desirable for
mount tools, which regularly consume key material. After all mounts are
a shared resource themselves as they appear system-wide hence it makes a
lot of sense to share their key material too.
Fixes: #8159
The VDSO provided by the kernel for x32, uses x86-64 syscalls instead of
x32 ones.
I think we can safely allow this; the set of x86-64 syscalls should be
very similar to the x32 ones. The real point is not to allow *x86*
syscalls, because some of those are inconveniently multiplexed and we're
apparently not able to block the specific actions we want to.
> Only system calls of the *specified* architectures will be permitted to
> processes of this unit.
(my emphasis)
> Note that setting this option to a non-empty list implies that
> native is included too.
Attempting to use "implies" in the later sentence, in a way that
contradicts the very clear meaning of the earlier sentence... it's too
much.
The long long list of settings is getting too confusing, let's add some
sections and reorder things in them.
This makes no changes regarding contents, it only reorders things,
sometimes reindents them, and adds sections that made sense to me to
some degree.
Within each sections the settings are ordered by relevance (at least
according to how relevant I personally find them), and not
alphabetically.
Let's clarify that these settings only apply to stdout/stderr logging.
Always mention the journal before syslog (as the latter is in most ways
just a legacy alias these days). Always mention the +console cases too.
MemoryDenyWriteExecution policy could be be bypassed by using pkey_mprotect
instead of mprotect to create an executable writable mapping.
The impact is mitigated by the fact that the man page says "Note that this
feature is fully available on x86-64, and partially on x86", so hopefully
people do not rely on it as a sole security measure.

This makes each system call in SystemCallFilter= blacklist optionally
takes errno name or number after a colon. The errno takes precedence
over the one given by SystemCallErrorNumber=.
C.f. #7173.
Closes#7169.
This removes the '@credentials' syscall set that was added in commit
v234-468-gcd0ddf6f75.
Most of these syscalls are so simple that we do not want to filter them.
They work on the current calling process, doing only read operations,
they do not have a deep kernel path.
The problem may only be in 'capget' syscall since it can query arbitrary
processes, and used to discover processes, however sending signal 0 to
arbitrary processes can be used to discover if a process exists or not.
It is unfortunate that Linux allows to query processes of different
users. Lets put it now in '@process' syscall set, and later we may add
it to a new '@basic-process' set that allows most basic process
operations.
Usually, it's a good thing that we isolate the kernel session keyring
for the various services and disconnect them from the user keyring.
However, in case of the cryptsetup key caching we actually want that
multiple instances of the cryptsetup service can share the keys in the
root user's user keyring, hence we need to be able to disable this logic
for them.
This adds KeyringMode=inherit|private|shared:
inherit: don't do any keyring magic (this is the default in systemd --user)
private: a private keyring as before (default in systemd --system)
shared: the new setting
If two separate log streams are connected to stdout and stderr, let's
make sure $JOURNAL_STREAM points to the latter, as that's the preferred
log destination, and the environment variable has been created in order
to permit services to automatically upgrade from stderr based logging to
native journal logging.
Also, document this behaviour.
Fixes: #6800
With this setting we can explicitly unset specific variables for
processes of a unit, as last step of assembling the environment block
for them. This is useful to fix#6407.
While we are at it, greatly expand the documentation on how the
environment block for forked off processes is assembled.
"Currently, the following values are defined: xxx: in case <condition>" is
awkward because "xxx" is always defined unconditionally. It is _used_ in case
<condition> is true. Correct this and a bunch of other places where the
sentence structure makes it unclear what is the subject of the sentence.
This reworks the paragraph describing $SERVICE_RESULT into a table, and
adds two missing entries: "success" and "start-limit-hit".
These two entries are then also added to the table explaining the
$EXIT_CODE + $EXIT_STATUS variables.
Fixes: #6597
Add LockPersonality boolean to allow locking down personality(2)
system call so that the execution domain can't be changed.
This may be useful to improve security because odd emulations
may be poorly tested and source of vulnerabilities, while
system services shouldn't need any weird personalities.
This new group lists all UID/GID credential changing syscalls (which are
quite a number these days). This will become particularly useful in a
later commit, which uses this group to optionally permit user credential
changing to daemons in case ambient capabilities are not available.
This introduces {State,Cache,Log,Configuration}Directory= those are
similar to RuntimeDirectory=. They create the directories under
/var/lib, /var/cache/, /var/log, or /etc, respectively, with the mode
specified in {State,Cache,Log,Configuration}DirectoryMode=.
This also fixes#6391.
Also updates the documentation and adds a mention of ppc64 support
which was enabled by #5325.
Tested on Debian mipsel and mips64el. The other 4 mips architectures
should have an identical user <-> kernel ABI to one of the 2 tested
systems.
Let's clarify that RestrictAddressFamilies= and MemoryDenyWriteExecute=
are only fully effective if non-native system call architectures are
disabled, since they otherwise may be used to circumvent the filters, as
the filters aren't equally effective on all ABIs.
Fixes: #5277
Add a bit of code that tries to get the right parameter order in place
for some of the better known architectures, and skips
restrict_namespaces for other archs.
This also bypasses the test on archs where we don't know the right
order.
In this case I didn't bother with testing the case where no filter is
applied, since that is hopefully just an issue for now, as there's
nothing stopping us from supporting more archs, we just need to know
which order is right.
Fixes: #5241
On i386 we block the old mmap() call entirely, since we cannot properly
filter it. Thankfully it hasn't been used by glibc since quite some
time.
Fixes: #5240
This is similar to RootDirectory= but mounts the root file system from a
block device or loopback file instead of another directory.
This reuses the image dissector code now used by nspawn and
gpt-auto-discovery.
This adds a boolean unit file setting MountAPIVFS=. If set, the three
main API VFS mounts will be mounted for the service. This only has an
effect on RootDirectory=, which it makes a ton times more useful.
(This is basically the /dev + /proc + /sys mounting code posted in the
original #4727, but rebased on current git, and with the automatic logic
replaced by explicit logic controlled by a unit file setting)
This changes the environment for services running as root from:
LANG=C.utf8
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
INVOCATION_ID=ffbdec203c69499a9b83199333e31555
JOURNAL_STREAM=8:1614518
to
LANG=C.utf8
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
HOME=/root
LOGNAME=root
USER=root
SHELL=/bin/sh
INVOCATION_ID=15a077963d7b4ca0b82c91dc6519f87c
JOURNAL_STREAM=8:1616718
Making the environment special for the root user complicates things
unnecessarily. This change simplifies both our logic (by making the setting
of the variables unconditional), and should also simplify the logic in
services (particularly scripts).
Fixes#5124.
This adds two new settings BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths=. They allow
defining arbitrary bind mounts specific to particular services. This is
particularly useful for services with RootDirectory= set as this permits making
specific bits of the host directory available to chrooted services.
The two new settings follow the concepts nspawn already possess in --bind= and
--bind-ro=, as well as the .nspawn settings Bind= and BindReadOnly= (and these
latter options should probably be renamed to BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths=
too).
Fixes: #3439
@filesystem groups various file system operations, such as opening files and
directories for read/write and stat()ing them, plus renaming, deleting,
symlinking, hardlinking.
This changes a couple of things in the namespace handling:
It merges the BindMount and TargetMount structures. They are mostly the same,
hence let's just use the same structue, and rely on C's implicit zero
initialization of partially initialized structures for the unneeded fields.
This reworks memory management of each entry a bit. It now contains one "const"
and one "malloc" path. We use the former whenever we can, but use the latter
when we have to, which is the case when we have to chase symlinks or prefix a
root directory. This means in the common case we don't actually need to
allocate any dynamic memory. To make this easy to use we add an accessor
function bind_mount_path() which retrieves the right path string from a
BindMount structure.
While we are at it, also permit "+" as prefix for dirs configured with
ReadOnlyPaths= and friends: if specified the root directory of the unit is
implicited prefixed.
This also drops set_bind_mount() and uses C99 structure initialization instead,
which I think is more readable and clarifies what is being done.
This drops append_protect_kernel_tunables() and
append_protect_kernel_modules() as append_static_mounts() is now simple enough
to be called directly.
Prefixing with the root dir is now done in an explicit step in
prefix_where_needed(). It will prepend the root directory on each entry that
doesn't have it prefixed yet. The latter is determined depending on an extra
bit in the BindMount structure.
This new setting permits restricting whether namespaces may be created and
managed by processes started by a unit. It installs a seccomp filter blocking
certain invocations of unshare(), clone() and setns().
RestrictNamespaces=no is the default, and does not restrict namespaces in any
way. RestrictNamespaces=yes takes away the ability to create or manage any kind
of namspace. "RestrictNamespaces=mnt ipc" restricts the creation of namespaces
so that only mount and IPC namespaces may be created/managed, but no other
kind of namespaces.
This setting should be improve security quite a bit as in particular user
namespacing was a major source of CVEs in the kernel in the past, and is
accessible to unprivileged processes. With this setting the entire attack
surface may be removed for system services that do not make use of namespaces.
If execve() or socket() is filtered the service manager might get into trouble
executing the service binary, or handling any failures when this fails. Mention
this in the documentation.
The other option would be to implicitly whitelist all system calls that are
required for these codepaths. However, that appears less than desirable as this
would mean socket() and many related calls have to be whitelisted
unconditionally. As writing system call filters requires a certain level of
expertise anyway it sounds like the better option to simply document these
issues and suggest that the user disables system call filters in the service
temporarily in order to debug any such failures.
See: #3993.
@resources contains various syscalls that alter resource limits and memory and
scheduling parameters of processes. As such they are good candidates to block
for most services.
@basic-io contains a number of basic syscalls for I/O, similar to the list
seccomp v1 permitted but slightly more complete. It should be useful for
building basic whitelisting for minimal sandboxes
The system call is already part in @default hence implicitly allowed anyway.
Also, if it is actually blocked then systemd couldn't execute the service in
question anymore, since the application of seccomp is immediately followed by
it.
This commit adds a `fd` option to `StandardInput=`,
`StandardOutput=` and `StandardError=` properties in order to
connect standard streams to externally named descriptors provided
by some socket units.
This option looks for a file descriptor named as the corresponding
stream. Custom names can be specified, separated by a colon.
If multiple name-matches exist, the first matching fd will be used.
Let's avoid the overly abbreviated "cgroups" terminology. Let's instead write:
"Linux Control Groups (cgroups)" is the long form wherever the term is
introduced in prose. Use "control groups" in the short form wherever the term
is used within brief explanations.
Follow-up to: #4381
Lets go further and make /lib/modules/ inaccessible for services that do
not have business with modules, this is a minor improvment but it may
help on setups with custom modules and they are limited... in regard of
kernel auto-load feature.
This change introduce NameSpaceInfo struct which we may embed later
inside ExecContext but for now lets just reduce the argument number to
setup_namespace() and merge ProtectKernelModules feature.
This is useful to turn off explicit module load and unload operations on modular
kernels. This option removes CAP_SYS_MODULE from the capability bounding set for
the unit, and installs a system call filter to block module system calls.
This option will not prevent the kernel from loading modules using the module
auto-load feature which is a system wide operation.
This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.
Make ALSA entries, latency interface, mtrr, apm/acpi, suspend interface,
filesystems configuration and IRQ tuning readonly.
Most of these interfaces now days should be in /sys but they are still
available through /proc, so just protect them. This patch does not touch
/proc/net/...
Let's merge a couple of columns, to make the table a bit shorter. This
effectively just drops whitespace, not contents, but makes the currently
humungous table much much more compact.
This reworks the documentation for ReadOnlyPaths=, ReadWritePaths=,
InaccessiblePaths=. It no longer claims that we'd follow symlinks relative to
the host file system. (Which wasn't true actually, as we didn't follow symlinks
at all in the most recent releases, and we know do follow them, but relative to
RootDirectory=).
This also replaces all references to the fact that all fs namespacing options
can be undone with enough privileges and disable propagation by a single one in
the documentation of ReadOnlyPaths= and friends, and then directs the read to
this in all other places.
Moreover a hint is added to the documentation of SystemCallFilter=, suggesting
usage of ~@mount in case any of the fs namespacing related options are used.
Let's drop the reference to the cap_from_name() function in the documentation
for the capabilities setting, as it is hardly helpful. Our readers are not
necessarily C hackers knowing the semantics of cap_from_name(). Moreover, the
strings we accept are just the plain capability names as listed in
capabilities(7) hence there's really no point in confusing the user with
anything else.
Let's make sure that services that use DynamicUser=1 cannot leave files in the
file system should the system accidentally have a world-writable directory
somewhere.
This effectively ensures that directories need to be whitelisted rather than
blacklisted for access when DynamicUser=1 is set.
