The logic of running_in_chroot() has been the same since the introduction of this function in b4f10a5e8956d26f0bc6b9aef12846b57caee08b: if /proc is not mounted, the function returns -ENOENT and all callers treat this as false. But that might be the most common case of chrooted calls, esp. in all the naïve chroots that were done with the chroot binary without additional setup. (In particular rpm executes all scriptlets in a chroot without bothering to set up /proc or /sys, and we have codepaths in sysusers and tmpfiles to support running in such an environment.) This change effectively shortcircuits various calls to udevadm, downgrades logging in tmpfiles, and disables all verbs marked with VERB_ONLINE_ONLY in systemctl. detect-virt -r is also affected: $ sudo chroot /var/lib/machines/rawhide before> systemd-detect-virt -r && echo OK Failed to check for chroot() environment: No such file or directory after> systemd-detect-virt -r && echo OK OK
