Topi Miettinen 3bb48b19bd core: add user and group to NFTSet= 
The benefit of using this setting is that user and group IDs, especially dynamic and random
IDs used by DynamicUser=, can be used in firewall configuration easily.

Example:

```
[Service]
NFTSet=user:inet:filter:serviceuser
```

Corresponding NFT rules:

```
table inet filter {
        set serviceuser {
                typeof meta skuid
        }
        chain service_output {
                meta skuid @serviceuser accept
                drop
        }
}
```

```
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/dunft.service
[Service]
DynamicUser=yes
NFTSet=user:inet:filter:serviceuser
ExecStart=/bin/sleep 1000

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
$ sudo nft list set inet filter serviceuser
table inet filter {
        set serviceuser {
                typeof meta skuid
                elements = { 64864 }
        }
}
$ ps -n --format user,group,pid,command -p `systemctl show dunft.service -P MainPID`
    USER    GROUP     PID COMMAND
   64864    64864   55158 /bin/sleep 1000

<title>Description</title>
<para>Unit configuration files for services, slices, scopes, sockets, mount points, and swap devices share a subset
of configuration options for resource control of spawned processes. Internally, this relies on the Linux Control
Groups (cgroups) kernel concept for organizing processes in a hierarchical tree of named groups for the purpose of
resource management.</para>
<para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by
those six unit types. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration files, and

and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.swap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information on the specific unit configuration files. The
resource control configuration options are configured in the
[Slice], [Scope], [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap]
sections, depending on the unit type.</para>
<para>In addition, options which control resources available to programs
<emphasis>executed</emphasis> by systemd are listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Those options complement options listed here.</para>

<title>Enabling and disabling controllers</title>
<para>Controllers in the cgroup hierarchy are hierarchical, and resource control is realized by
distributing resource assignments between siblings in branches of the cgroup hierarchy. There is no
need to explicitly <emphasis>enable</emphasis> a cgroup controller for a unit.
<command>systemd</command> will instruct the kernel to enable a controller for a given unit when this
unit has configuration for a given controller. For example, when <varname>CPUWeight=</varname> is set,
the <option>cpu</option> controller will be enabled, and when <varname>TasksMax=</varname> are set, the
<option>pids</option> controller will be enabled. In addition, various controllers may be also be
enabled explicitly via the
<varname>MemoryAccounting=</varname>/<varname>TasksAccounting=</varname>/<varname>IOAccounting=</varname>
settings. Because of how the cgroup hierarchy works, controllers will be automatically enabled for all
parent units and for any sibling units starting with the lowest level at which a controller is enabled.
Units for which a controller is enabled may be subject to resource control even if they don't have any
explicit configuration.</para>
<para>Setting <varname>Delegate=</varname> enables any delegated controllers for that unit (see below).
The delegatee may then enable controllers for its children as appropriate. In particular, if the
delegatee is <command>systemd</command> (in the <filename>user@.service</filename> unit), it will
repeat the same logic as the system instance and enable controllers for user units which have resource
limits configured, and their siblings and parents and parents' siblings.</para>
<para>Controllers may be <emphasis>disabled</emphasis> for parts of the cgroup hierarchy with
<varname>DisableControllers=</varname> (see below).</para>
<example>

</programlisting>
<para>In this hierarchy, the <option>cpu</option> controller is enabled for all units shown except
<filename>b1.service</filename> and <filename>b2.service</filename>. Because there is no explicit
configuration for <filename>system.slice</filename> and <filename>user.slice</filename>, CPU
resources will be split equally between them. Similarly, resources are allocated equally between
children of <filename>user.slice</filename> and between the child slices beneath
<filename>user@1000.service</filename>. Assuming that there is no further configuration of resources
or delegation below slices <filename>app.slice</filename> or <filename>session.slice</filename>, the
<option>cpu</option> controller would not be enabled for units in those slices and CPU resources
would be further allocated using other mechanisms, e.g. based on nice levels. The manager for user
42 has delegation enabled without any controllers, i.e. it can manipulate its subtree of the cgroup
hierarchy, but without resource control.</para>
<para>In the slice <filename>system.slice</filename>, CPU resources are split 1:6 for service
<filename>a.service</filename>, and 5:6 for slice <filename>b.slice</filename>, because slice
<filename>b.slice</filename> gets the default value of 100 for <filename>cpu.weight</filename> when
<varname>CPUWeight=</varname> is not set.</para>
<para><varname>CPUWeight=</varname> setting in service <filename>b2.service</filename> is neutralized
by <varname>DisableControllers=</varname> in slice <filename>b.slice</filename>, so the
<option>cpu</option> controller would not be enabled for services <filename>b1.service</filename> and
<filename>b2.service</filename>, and CPU resources would be further allocated using other mechanisms,
e.g. based on nice levels.</para>

<title>Setting resource controls for a group of related units</title>
<para>As described in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, the
settings listed here may be set through the main file of a unit and drop-in snippets in
<filename index="false">*.d/</filename> directories. The list of directories searched for drop-ins
includes names formed by repeatedly truncating the unit name after all dashes. This is particularly
convenient to set resource limits for a group of units with similar names.</para>
<para>For example, every user gets their own slice
<filename>user-<replaceable>nnn</replaceable>.slice</filename>. Drop-ins with local configuration that
affect user 1000 may be placed in
<filename index="false">/etc/systemd/system/user-1000.slice</filename>,
<filename index="false">/etc/systemd/system/user-1000.slice.d/*.conf</filename>, but also
<filename index="false">/etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/*.conf</filename>. This last directory
applies to all user slices.</para>

<para>If set to an integer value, assign the specified CPU time weight to the processes
executed, if the unified control group hierarchy is used on the system. These options control
the <literal>cpu.weight</literal> control group attribute. The allowed range is 1 to 10000.
Defaults to unset, but the kernel default is 100. For details about this control group
attribute, see <ulink url="https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.html">Control Groups
v2</ulink> and <ulink url="https://docs.kernel.org/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.html">CFS

relative to their CPU time weight. A higher weight means more CPU time, a lower weight means
less.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If set to the special string "idle", mark the cgroup for "idle scheduling", which means
that it will get CPU resources only when there are no processes not marked in this way to execute in this
cgroup or its siblings. This setting corresponds to the <literal>cpu.idle</literal> cgroup attribute.</para>

<para>Assign the specified CPU time quota to the processes executed. Takes a percentage value, suffixed with
"%". The percentage specifies how much CPU time the unit shall get at maximum, relative to the total CPU time
available on one CPU. Use values &gt; 100% for allotting CPU time on more than one CPU. This controls the

The default setting is 100ms. The period is clamped to the range supported by the kernel, which is [1ms, 1000ms].
Additionally, the period is adjusted up so that the quota interval is also at least 1ms.
Setting <varname>CPUQuotaPeriodSec=</varname> to an empty value resets it to the default.</para>

<para>Specify the memory usage protection of the executed processes in this unit.
When reclaiming memory, the unit is treated as if it was using less memory resulting in memory
to be preferentially reclaimed from unprotected units.
Using <varname>MemoryLow=</varname> results in a weaker protection where memory may still
be reclaimed to avoid invoking the OOM killer in case there is no other reclaimable memory.</para>
<para>
For a protection to be effective, it is generally required to set a corresponding
allocation on all ancestors, which is then distributed between children
(with the exception of the root slice).
Any <varname>MemoryMin=</varname> or <varname>MemoryLow=</varname> allocation that is not
explicitly distributed to specific children is used to create a shared protection for all children.
As this is a shared protection, the children will freely compete for the memory.</para>
<para>Takes a memory size in bytes. If the value is suffixed with K, M, G or T, the specified memory size is
parsed as Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, or Terabytes (with the base 1024), respectively. Alternatively, a
percentage value may be specified, which is taken relative to the installed physical memory on the
system. If assigned the special value <literal>infinity</literal>, all available memory is protected, which may be
useful in order to always inherit all of the protection afforded by ancestors.
This controls the <literal>memory.min</literal> or <literal>memory.low</literal> control group attribute.
For details about this control group attribute, see <ulink
url="https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.html#memory-interface-files">Memory Interface Files</ulink>.</para>
<para>Units may have their children use a default <literal>memory.min</literal> or
<literal>memory.low</literal> value by specifying <varname>DefaultMemoryMin=</varname> or
<varname>DefaultMemoryLow=</varname>, which has the same semantics as
<varname>MemoryMin=</varname> and <varname>MemoryLow=</varname>, or <varname>DefaultStartupMemoryLow=</varname>
which has the same semantics as <varname>StartupMemoryLow=</varname>.
This setting does not affect <literal>memory.min</literal> or <literal>memory.low</literal>

<para>The access lists configured with this option are applied to all sockets created by processes

it may make sense to maintain one list more open and the other one more restricted, depending on

<term><varname>DeviceAllow=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Control access to specific device nodes by the executed processes. Takes two space-separated
strings: a device node specifier followed by a combination of <constant>r</constant>,
<constant>w</constant>, <constant>m</constant> to control <emphasis>r</emphasis>eading,
<emphasis>w</emphasis>riting, or creation of the specific device nodes by the unit
(<emphasis>m</emphasis>knod), respectively. This functionality is implemented using eBPF
filtering.</para>
<para>When access to <emphasis>all</emphasis> physical devices should be disallowed,
<varname>PrivateDevices=</varname> may be used instead. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The device node specifier is either a path to a device node in the file system, starting with
<filename>/dev/</filename>, or a string starting with either <literal>char-</literal> or
<literal>block-</literal> followed by a device group name, as listed in
<filename>/proc/devices</filename>. The latter is useful to allow-list all current and future
devices belonging to a specific device group at once. The device group is matched according to
filename globbing rules, you may hence use the <literal>*</literal> and <literal>?</literal>
wildcards. (Note that such globbing wildcards are not available for device node path
specifications!) In order to match device nodes by numeric major/minor, use device node paths in
the <filename>/dev/char/</filename> and <filename>/dev/block/</filename> directories. However,
matching devices by major/minor is generally not recommended as assignments are neither stable nor
portable between systems or different kernel versions.</para>
<para>Examples: <filename>/dev/sda5</filename> is a path to a device node, referring to an ATA or
SCSI block device. <literal>char-pts</literal> and <literal>char-alsa</literal> are specifiers for
all pseudo TTYs and all ALSA sound devices, respectively. <literal>char-cpu/*</literal> is a
specifier matching all CPU related device groups.</para>
<para>Note that allow lists defined this way should only reference device groups which are
resolvable at the time the unit is started. Any device groups not resolvable then are not added to
the device allow list. In order to work around this limitation, consider extending service units
with a pair of <command>After=modprobe@xyz.service</command> and
<command>Wants=modprobe@xyz.service</command> lines that load the necessary kernel module
implementing the device group if missing.

<term><varname>Delegate=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Turns on delegation of further resource control partitioning to processes of the unit. Units
where this is enabled may create and manage their own private subhierarchy of control groups below
the control group of the unit itself. For unprivileged services (i.e. those using the
<varname>User=</varname> setting) the unit's control group will be made accessible to the relevant
user.</para>
<para>When enabled the service manager will refrain from manipulating control groups or moving
processes below the unit's control group, so that a clear concept of ownership is established: the
control group tree at the level of the unit's control group and above (i.e. towards the root
control group) is owned and managed by the service manager of the host, while the control group
tree below the unit's control group is owned and managed by the unit itself.</para>
<para>Takes either a boolean argument or a (possibly empty) list of control group controller names.
If true, delegation is turned on, and all supported controllers are enabled for the unit, making
them available to the unit's processes for management. If false, delegation is turned off entirely
(and no additional controllers are enabled). If set to a list of controllers, delegation is turned
on, and the specified controllers are enabled for the unit. Assigning the empty string will enable
delegation, but reset the list of controllers, and all assignments prior to this will have no
effect. Note that additional controllers other than the ones specified might be made available as
well, depending on configuration of the containing slice unit or other units contained in it.
Defaults to false.</para>
<para>Note that controller delegation to less privileged code is only safe on the unified control
group hierarchy. Accordingly, access to the specified controllers will not be granted to
unprivileged services on the legacy hierarchy, even when requested.</para>
<xi:include href="supported-controllers.xml" xpointer="controllers-text" />
<para>Not all of these controllers are available on all kernels however, and some are specific to
the unified hierarchy while others are specific to the legacy hierarchy. Also note that the kernel
might support further controllers, which aren't covered here yet as delegation is either not
supported at all for them or not defined cleanly.</para>
<para>Note that because of the hierarchical nature of cgroup hierarchy, any controllers that are
delegated will be enabled for the parent and sibling units of the unit with delegation.</para>

<term><varname>DelegateSubgroup=</varname></term>
<listitem>
<para>Place unit processes in the specified subgroup of the unit's control group. Takes a valid
control group name (not a path!) as parameter, or an empty string to turn this feature
off. Defaults to off. The control group name must be usable as filename and avoid conflicts with
the kernel's control group attribute files (i.e. <filename>cgroup.procs</filename> is not an
acceptable name, since the kernel exposes a native control group attribute file by that name). This
option has no effect unless control group delegation is turned on via <varname>Delegate=</varname>,
see above. Note that this setting only applies to "main" processes of a unit, i.e. for services to
<varname>ExecStart=</varname>, but not for <varname>ExecReload=</varname> and similar. If
delegation is enabled, the latter are always placed inside a subgroup named
<filename>.control</filename>. The specified subgroup is automatically created (and potentially
ownership is passed to the unit's configured user/group) when a process is started in it.</para>
<para>This option is useful to avoid manually moving the invoked process into a subgroup after it
has been started. Since no processes should live in inner nodes of the control group tree it's
almost always necessary to run the main ("supervising") process of a unit that has delegation
turned on in a subgroup.</para>
