Usually, we order our settings in our unit files in a logical order,
grouping related settings together, and putting more relevant stuff
first, instead of following a strictly alphabetical order.
For specifiers I think it makes sense to follow an alphabetical order
however, since they literally are just characters, and hence I think the
concept of alphabetical ordering is much more commanding for them. Also,
since specifiers are usually not used in combination, but mostly used
indepdently of each other I think it's not that important to group
similar ones together.
No other changes except the reordering.
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.
This documents how the age of a file is determined, which previously was
only alluded to in other parts of the documentation. Fixes#8091.
The phrasings of “last modification timestamp” etc. are taken from
man:inode(7) (as of man-pages 4.14). The debug messages in tmpfiles.c
use different messages (“modify time”), which according to a code
comment follow man:stat(1); however, my copy of that manpage (from GNU
coreutils 8.29) documents %y as “time of last data modification”
instead.
CHANGE OF BEHAVIOUR — with this commit "f" line's behaviour is altered
to match what the documentation says: if an "argument" string is
specified it is written to the file only when the file didn't exist
before. Previously, it would be appended to the file each time
systemd-tmpfiles was invoked — which is not a particularly useful
behaviour as the tool is not idempotent then and the indicated files
grow without bounds each time the tool is invoked.
I did some spelunking whether this change in behaviour would break
things, but afaics nothing relies on the previous O_APPEND behaviour of
this line type, hence I think it's relatively safe to make "f" lines
work the way the docs say, rather than adding a new modifier for it or
so.

Currently, we create leading directories implicitly for all lines that
create directory or directory-like nodes.
With this, we also do the same for a number of other lines: f/F, C, p,
L, c/b (that is regular files, pipes, symlinks, device nodes as well as
file trees we copy).
The leading directories are created with te default access mode of 0755.
If something else is desired, users should simply declare appropriate
"d" lines.
Fixes: #7853
sd_path_home() returns ENXIO when a variable (such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) is not
defined. Previously we used ENOKEY for unresolvable specifiers. To avoid having
two codes, or translating ENXIO to ENOKEY, I replaced ENOKEY use with ENXIO.
v2:
- use sd_path_home and change to ENXIO everywhere
This commit adds specifiers %U, %u and %h for the user UID, name and
home directory, respectively.
[zj: drop untrue copy-pasted comments and move the next text
to the new "Specifiers" section.
Now that #7444 has been merged, also drop the specifier functions.]
The code intentionally ignored unknown specifiers, treating them as text. This
needs to change because otherwise we can never add a new specifier in a backwards
compatible way. So just treat an unknown (potential) specifier as an error.
In principle this is a break of backwards compatibility, but the previous
behaviour was pretty much useless, since the expanded value could change every
time we add new specifiers, which we do all the time.
As a compromise for backwards compatibility, only fail on alphanumerical
characters. This should cover the most cases where an unescaped percent
character is used, like size=5% and such, which behave the same as before with
this patch. OTOH, this means that we will not be able to use non-alphanumerical
specifiers without breaking backwards compatibility again. I think that's an
acceptable compromise.
v2:
- add NEWS entry
v3:
- only fail on alphanumerical
Fixes#6639.
(This behaviour of systemd-sysusers is long established, so it's better
to adjust the documentation rather than change the code. If there are any
situations out there where it matters, users must have adjusted to the
current behaviour.)
Currently if tmpfiles is run with force on symlink creation but there already
exists a directory at that location, the creation will fail. This change
updates the behavior to remove the directory with rm_fr and then attempts to
create the symlink again.
I wanted to add a config line that would empty a directory
without creating it if doesn't exist. Existing actions don't allow
this.
v2: properly add 'e' to needs_glob() and takes_ownership()
- do not suggest that vendor configuration files should be in
/etc, use /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d instead
- split the first example, because the text talked about "needing
two directories", but then a smack attribute was also set, and
on a different path, which looked like a typo. Replace that
with the example from original patch [1] which added 't'.
- fix the example for /var/tmp/abrt. The 'x' line was redundant,
because /var/tmp/abrt/* is already filtered because "d /var/tmp/abrt"
overrides "d /var/tmp".

It's not a good idea to create subvolumes for parts of the OS tree (such
as /home, or /var) if the root directory is not a subvolume too. We
shouldn't assume control of "heavier" objects such as subvolumes, if the
originating object (the root directory) is a "light-weight" object, i.e.
a plain directory.
Effectively this means that chroot() environments that are run on a
plain directory do not have to deal with problems around systemd
creating subvolumes that cannot be removed with a simple "rm" anymore.
However, if the chroot manager creates a proper subvolume for such an
environment it will also get further subvolumes placed in there, under
the assumption that the manager understands the concept of subvolumes in
that case.
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.
* by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
could ship this.
* this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
we could ship with this patch.
* we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
probably question if it makes sense at all.
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.
Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.
This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220
The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html
This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.
These will be handled separately by follow up patches.
Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
/usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.
Generally, we will not follow symlinks, except for "w".
Avoid documentation for now for fifo, device node, directory lines,
which currently follow symlinks but better shouldn't.
For ACLs to be valid, a set of entries for user, group, and other
must be always present. Always add those entries.
While at it, only add the mask ACL if it is actually required, i.e.
when at least on ACL for non-owner group or user exists.
For types which adapt existing files it is generally more useful to accept
globs.
In analogy to z and Z, add recursive versions using uppercase letters.
Technically, making a accept globs is backwards incompatible, but in
practice it probably isn't yet widely used and we can assume that most
people don't create files with wildcards in names.
Functions which are used as callbacks, but not directly on items, are
renamed not to have "item_" prefix.
The data structure used by tmpfiles is changed: instead of hashmaps
mapping {path → Item*} we now have hashmaps containing
{path -> ItemArray}, where ItemArray contains a pointer
to an array of Items.
For current code it doesn't matter much, but when we add new types it
is easier to simply add a new Item for a given path, then to coalesce
multiple lines into one Item.
In the future, this change will also make it possible to remember the
file and line where each Item originates, and use that in reporting
errors. Currently this is not possible, since each Item can be created
from multiple lines.
This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created
by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on
volatile files and directories.
It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain
attributes in Argument field, using following format:
name=value
All other fields are ignored.
If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks.
User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash.
Example:
D /var/run/cups - - - -
t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing
Previously it would recursively copy the entire tree in, and descend
into subdirectories even if the destination already exists. Let's do
what the documentation says and not do that.
If files down the tree shall be copied too, they should get their own
"C" lines.
If two lines refer to paths that are suffix and prefix of each other,
then always process the prefix first, the suffix second. In all other
cases strictly process rules in the order they appear in the files.
This makes creating /var/run as symlink to /run a lot more fun, since it
is automatically created first.
"m" so far has been a non-globbing version of "z". Since this makes it
quite redundant, let's get rid of it. Remove "m" from the man pages,
beef up "z" docs instead, and make "m" nothing more than a compatibility
alias for "z".
Let's always call the security labels the same way:
SMACK: "Smack Label"
SELINUX: "SELinux Security Context"
And the low-level encapsulation is called "seclabel". Now let's hope we
stick to this vocabulary in future, too, and don't mix "label"s and
"security contexts" and so on wildly.
Various operations done by systemd-tmpfiles may only be safely done at
boot (e.g. removal of X lockfiles in /tmp, creation of /run/nologin).
Other operations may be done at any point in time (e.g. setting the
ownership on /{run,var}/log/journal). This distinction is largely
orthogonal to the type of operation.
A new switch --unsafe is added, and operations which should only be
executed during bootup are marked with an exclamation mark in the
configuration files. systemd-tmpfiles.service is modified to use this
switch, and guards are added so it is hard to re-start it by mistake.
If we install a new version of systemd, we actually want to enforce
some changes to tmpfiles configuration immediately. This should now be
possible to do safely, so distribution packages can be modified to
execute the "safe" subset at package installation time.
/run/nologin creation is split out into a separate service, to make it
easy to override.

Condition for /lib (necessary for split /usr) was missing from the unit.
Some changes which were done in tmpfiles.d(5) were not carried over to
systemd-tmpfiles(1).
Also use markup where possible.
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various

Highligts in this particular commit:
- the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type
"unsigned int"
- alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how
numbers get sorted)
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and
orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.
In this particular commit:
- the usual comma fixes
- expand contractions (this is prose)
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas,
capitalization, spelling, etc.
To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were
revised.
[zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]
Type X will exclude path itself from clean-up. However, if the path is a
directory systemd-tmpfiles will clean-up its content.
In contrast to type x, where path is ignored completely, type X needs some
Age parameter. In order to determine Age parameter, we will look for config
entries of type d or D and pick the best match. Best match is either
exact match or longest prefix match.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890
Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit
8bd3b8620c
Mostly useful for testing purposes. Setting Age to 1s works just as
well, but it is surprising that using 0s (or just 0) does not work.
Also clarify this in the documentation.
This resolves problems with filesystems which do not implement the
aio_write file operation. In this case, the kernel will fall back using
a loop writing technique for each pointer in a received iovec. The
result is strange errors in dmesg such as:
[ 31.855871] elevator: type not found
[ 31.856262] elevator: switch to
[ 31.856262] failed
It does not make sense to implement a synchronous aio_write method for
sysfs as this isn't a real filesystem where a reasonable use case for
using writev exists, nor is there an expectation that tmpfiles will be
used to write more data than can be reasonably written in a single write
syscall.
In addition, some sysfs attrs are currently buggy and will NOT reject
the second write with the newline, causing the sysfs value to be zeroed
out. This of course should be fixed in the kernel regardless of any
wrongdoing in userspace, but this simple change makes us immune to such
a bug.
This change means that we do not write a trailing newline by default, as
the expected use case of 'w' is for sysfs and procfs. In exchange, honor
C-style backslash escapes so that if the newline is really needed, the
user can add it.
Break out the write logic into a separate function and simply use it as
a callback to glob_item.
This allows users to consolidate writes to sysfs with multiple similar
pathnames, e.g.
w /sys/class/block/sd[a-z]/queue/read_ahead_kb - - - - 1024
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
After long consideration we came to the conclusion that user
configuration in /etc should always override the (generally computer
generated) configuration in /run. User configuration should always be
what matters over anything else. Hence rearrange the search orders
accordingly.
In general this should change very little as overriding like this is
seldomn done so far, and the order between /etc and /usr stays the same.
