systemd-analyze critical-chain accepts an optional unit argument,
however currently there's no shell-completion for it
This change provides unit name completion for both bash and zsh.
Closes: #20927
Allows to pass a portable profile when doing offline analysis of
units. Especially useful for analyzing portable images, since a
lot of the security-relevant settings in those cases come from
the profiles, but they are not shipped in the portable images.
When using "capture : true" in custom_target()s the mode of the source
file is not preserved when the generated file is not installed and so
needs to be tweaked manually. Switch from output capture to creating the
target file and copy the permissions from the input file.

This introduces `ExitType=main|cgroup` for services.
Similar to how `Type` specifies the launch of a service, `ExitType` is
concerned with how systemd determines that a service exited.
- If set to `main` (the current behavior), the service manager will consider
the unit stopped when the main process exits.
- The `cgroup` exit type is meant for applications whose forking model is not
known ahead of time and which might not have a specific main process.
The service will stay running as long as at least one process in the cgroup
is running. This is intended for transient or automatically generated
services, such as graphical applications inside of a desktop environment.
Motivation for this is #16805. The original PR (#18782) was reverted (#20073)
after realizing that the exit status of "the last process in the cgroup" can't
reliably be known (#19385)
This version instead uses the main process exit status if there is one and just
listens to the cgroup empty event otherwise.
The advantages of a service with `ExitType=cgroup` over scopes are:
- Integrated logging / stdout redirection
- Avoids the race / synchronisation issue between launch and scope creation
- More extensive use of drop-ins and thus distro-level configuration:
by moving from scopes to services we can have drop ins that will affect
properties that can only be set during service creation,
like `OOMPolicy` and security-related properties
- It makes systemd-xdg-autostart-generator usable by fixing [1], as obviously
only services can be used in the generator, not scopes.
[1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433299
This is supposed to be used by package/image builders such as mkosi to
speed up building, since it allows us to suppress sync() inside a
container.
This does what Debian's eatmydata tool does, but for a container, and
via seccomp (instead of LD_PRELOAD).
This option has coredumpctl look at all journals instead of only the
local ones. This allows coredumpctl to show information about remote
coredumps if the coredumps are made available in /var/lib/systemd/coredump
and the corresponding journals are made available in /var/log/journal.
This is already possible using the --directory option but --all makes it
more user friendly since users don't have to enter the journal directory
anymore as long as it's available under /var/log/journal.
The new option --json= works with the 'security' verb and takes in one of three format flags.
These are off which is the default, pretty and short which use JSON format flags for output.
When set to true, it generates a JSON formatted output of the security analysis table. The
format is a JSON array with objects containing the following fields: set which indicates if
the id has been set or not, name which is what is used to refer to the id, json_field
which is the equivalent JSON formatted id name only used for JSON outputs, description which
is an outline of the id state, and exposure which is an unsigned integer in the range 0.0..10.0,
where a higher value corresponds to a higher security threat. The JSON version of the table is
printed on the standard output file.
Example Run:
The unit file testfile.service was created to test the --json= option
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (json-security)$ cat <<EOF >testfile.service
> [Service]
> ExecStart = echo hello
> PrivateNetwork = yes
> PrivateMounts = yes
> PrivateDevices = yes
> EOF
Both the JSON output and the security analysis table below have been truncated to increase readability.

A new option --security-policy= is added to work with the 'security' verb in order to enable
users to create and pass in a JSON file consisting of user defined requirements
against which to compare the specified unit file(s). These requirements then serve
as the measure of security threats for the file instead of the initial hard coded set of
requirements that the 'security' verb of systemd-analyze relied on.
Example Run:
A snapshot of the user defined testfile.json file is shown below instead of the complete file
for readability purposes.

2. In order to ensure that the JSON data was actually being correctly parsed, I made some changes to the JSON
file, specifically to the id "PrivateNetwork" as follows:
Before:
--------
"PrivateNetwork":
{"description_good": "Service has no access to the host's network",
"description_bad": "Service has access to the host's network",
"weight": 2500,
"range": 1
}
After:
--------
"PrivateNetwork":
{"description_good": "Service runs without access to host network",
"description_bad": "Service has access to the host's network",
"weight": 6000,
"range": 1
}
As expected, the new description for the description_good field of the Private Network id was updated in
the analysis table outputted below and the overall exposure level of the unit file decreased because
the weight assigned to 'Private Network' (which is set to yes) increased from 2500 to 6000.

3. When paired with security's --threshold= option, systemd-analyze exits with a non-zero error status indicating
that the overall exposure level for the unit file (=78) is greater than the set threshold (=70). The same

new option
--threshold option added to work with security verb and with the --offline option so that
users can determine what qualifies as a security threat. The threshold set by the user is
compared with the overall exposure level assigned to a unit file and if the exposure is
higher than the threshold, 'security' will return a non-zero exit status. The default value
of the --threshold option is 100.
Example Run:
1. testcase.service is a unit file created for testing the --threshold option

2. Next, we use the same testcase.service file but add an additional --threshold=60 parameter. We would expect 'security' to exit
with a non-zero status because the overall exposure level (= 96) is higher than the set threshold (= 60).

New option --offline which works with the 'security' command and takes in a boolean value. When set to true,
it performs an offline security review of the specified unit file(s). It does not rely on PID 1 to acquire
security information for the files like 'security' when used by itself does. It makes use of the refactored
security_info struct instead (commit #8cd669d3d3cf1b5e8667acc46ba290a9e8a8e529). This means that --offline can be
used with --image and --root as well. When used with --threshold, if a unit's overall exposure level is above
that set by the user, the default value being 100, --offline returns a non-zero exit status.
Example Run:
1. testcase.service is a unit file created for testing the --offline option

3. Next, we use the same testcase.service unit file but add the additional --threshold=60 option to see how --threshold works with

The commit introduces a callback invoked from log_syntax_internal.
Use it from systemd-analyze to gather a list of units that contain
syntax warnings. A new command line option is added to make use of this.
The new option --recursive-errors takes in three possible modes:
1. yes - which is the default. systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification of the
specified units or any of their dependencies.
3. no - systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification of only the selected unit.
Analyzing and loading any dependencies will be skipped.
4. one - systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification
of only the selected units and their direct dependencies.
Below are two service unit files that I created for the purposes of testing:
1. First, we run the commands on a unit that does not have dependencies but has a non-existing key-value setting (i.e. foo = bar).
> cat <<EOF>testcase.service

testrun.service: Failed to create testrun.service/start: Unit sysinit.target not found.
The 'Unit sysinit.target not found' error that we see here is due to recursive dependency searching during
unit loading and has been addressed in a different PR:
systemd-analyze: add option to return an error value when unit verification fails #20233
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example Run:
foobar.service created below is a service unit file that has a non-existing key-value
pairing (foo = bar) and is thus, syntactically invalid.
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (img-support)$ cat <<EOF>img/usr/lib/systemd/system/foobar.service
> [Unit]
> foo = bar
>
> [Service]
> ExecStart = /opt/script0.sh

The failure to create foobar.service because of the recursive dependency searching and verification has been addressed
in a different PR: systemd-analyze: add option to return an error value when unit verification fails #20233

This reverts commit cb0e818f7c.
After this was merged, some design and implementation issues were discovered,
see the discussion in #18782 and #19385. They certainly can be fixed, but so
far nobody has stepped up, and we're nearing a release. Hopefully, this feature
can be merged again after a rework.
Fixes#19345.
When `--json` option is specified, "status" and "list" commands gives
the same information, as originally "list" just gives partial
information of "status" in different format.
