The semantics of strong inhibitors require that POLKIT_ALWAYS_QUERY
always be set when checking if we can allow blocking inhibitors to be
ignored on shutdown, reboot, etc. With the default polkit rules and
policy, users may experience a situation where users in the sudo group
are authorized to run:
systemctl reboot --check-inhibitors=no
but the root user is not authorized. Instead, the following error is
given:
Call to Reboot failed: Interactive authentication required.
While this is correct according to the semantics of strong inhibitors,
it is confusing. To help the situation, provide example polkit rules
that allow root to perform these actions.
Finally, when root receives SD_BUS_ERROR_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION_REQUIRED
when calling e.g. systemctl reboot, print a message explaining that this
is due to the current polkit policy, and point to the new example rule.

Admittedly, some of our glyphs _are_ special, e.g. "O=" for SPECIAL_GLYPH_TOUCH ;)
But we don't need this in the name. The very long names make some invocations
very wordy, e.g. special_glyph(SPECIAL_GLYPH_SLIGHTLY_UNHAPPY_SMILEY).
Also, I want to add GLYPH_SPACE, which is not special at all.
In one of the next commits we'd like to introduce a concept of
optionally hashing the hostname from the machine ID. For that we we need
to optionally back gethostname_full() by code involving sd-id128, hence
let's move it from src/basic/ to src/shared/, since only there we are
allowed to use our public APIs.
Now our baseline of meson is 0.62, hence install_symlink() can be used.
Note, install_symlink() implies install_emptydir() for specified
install_dir. Hence, this also drops several unnecessary
install_emptydir() calls.
Note, the function currently does not support 'relative' and 'force' flags,
so several 'ln -frsT' inline calls cannot be replaced.
When we're building ParticleOS images, we don't want the package
manager (or mkosi) to run systemd-sysusers, systemd-tmpfiles or
systemctl preset so let's add a few more bypass environment
variables that we can set to have execution of these skipped like
we already have $SYSTEMD_HWDB_UPDATE_BYPASS and $KERNEL_INSTALL_BYPASS.
Fixes a bug caused by 804874d26a.
Follow-up for 084f361b50 and

Note, ERRNO_IS_NEG_DISCONNECT() includes ENONET rather than ENOENT...
So, ENOENT needs to be handled explicitly.
Fixes#35757 and #35806.
"systemctl status systemd-logind" otherwise looks a bit weird, since the
tasks and the fdstore lines are so close to each other but formatted
quite differently when it comes to coloring.
The previous behavior of systemctl --when= seems absurd, i.e.
if we fail to schedule shutdown in the future it's performed
immediately. Let's instead hard fail, which also removes the need
of specializing on certain errnos (preparation for later commits).
This adds the ExtraFileDescriptor property to StartTransient dbus API
with format "a(hs)" - array of (file descriptor, name) pairs. The FD
will be passed to the unit via sd_notify like Socket and OpenFile.
systemctl show also shows ExtraFileDescriptorName for these transient
units. We only show the name passed to dbus as the FD numbers will
change once passed over the unix socket and are duplicated, so its
confusing to display the numbers.
We do not add this functionality for systemd-run or general systemd
service units as it is not useful for general systemd services.
Arguably, it could be useful for systemd-run in bash scripts but we
prefer to be cautious and not expose the API yet.
Fixes: #34396
The change was supposed to be about respecting inhibitors, but
it was extended to also error out when there are active user
sessions, which was not intentional. Previously systemctl skipped
all checks if the caller was root or root-equivalent. Restore the
previous behaviour and again avoid blocking systemctl reboot by root
if there are active sessions, as long as there are no active
inhibitors.

The identifier 'stdin' is reserved in C. It can be #defined to any
statement that evaluates to a FILE*. We do not want that for our field,
so change to a more descriptive name.
We typically want to deal in usec_t, hence let's change the prototype
accordingly, and do proper range checks. Also, make sure are not
confused by negative times.
Do something similar for mktime_or_timegm().
This is a more comprehensive alternative to #34065
Replaces: #34065
These operations might require slow I/O, and thus might block PID1's main
loop for an undeterminated amount of time. Instead of performing them
inline, fork a worker process and stash away the D-Bus message, and reply
once we get a SIGCHILD indicating they have completed. That way we don't
break compatibility and callers can continue to rely on the fact that when
they get the method reply the operation either succeeded or failed.
To keep backward compatibility, unlike reload control processes, these
are ran inside init.scope and not the target cgroup. Unlike ExecReload,
this is under our control and is not defined by the unit. This is necessary
because previously the operation also wasn't ran from the target cgroup,
so suddenly forking a copy-on-write copy of pid1 into the target cgroup
will make memory usage spike, and if there is a MemoryMax= or MemoryHigh=
set and the cgroup is already close to the limit, it will cause an OOM
kill, where previously it would have worked fine.
This fixes the following assertion:
===
SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemctl --user -H foo --boot-loader-entry=help
Assertion 'transport != BUS_TRANSPORT_REMOTE || runtime_scope == RUNTIME_SCOPE_SYSTEM' failed at src/shared/bus-util.c:284, function bus_connect_transport(). Ignoring.
Failed to connect to bus: Operation not supported

Fixes a bug introduced by 97af80c5a7.
Fixes#33661.
Fixes oss-fuzz#70153.
Currently inhibitors are bypassed unless an explicit request is made to
check for them, or even in that case when the requestor is root or the
same uid as the holder of the lock.
But in many cases this makes it impractical to rely on inhibitor locks.
For example, in Debian there are several convoluted and archaic
workarounds that divert systemctl/reboot to some hacky custom scripts
to try and enforce blocking accidental reboots, when it's not expected
that the requestor will remember to specify the command line option
to enable checking for active inhibitor locks.
Also in many cases one wants to ensure that locks taken by a user are
respected by actions initiated by that same user.
Change logind so that inhibitors checks are not skipped in these
cases, and systemctl so that locks are checked in order to show a
friendly error message rather than "permission denied".
Add new block-weak and delay-weak modes that keep the previous
behaviour unchanged.
This is a lot of stuff, and sometimes quite wild, let's turn this into
its own header.
All stuff color-related that just generates sequences is now in
ansi-color.h (no .c file!), and everything more complex that
probes/ineracts with terminals remains in termina-util.[ch]
