This is not intended as a user guide, but to describe the generic security
posture of the UEFI components. Hence we do not publish it on systemd.io
but only in the repository.
This adds support for the new fsmount() logic of the kernel: we'll first
create an unattached fsmount fd, and then in a second step attach this
to some real file system inode – as opposed to attaching file system
directly. The benefit of this is that we can pass the open fsmount fds
over some sockets if need be, to isolate the mounting code from the
attaching code.
When we're starting early boot services such as systemd-userdbd.service,
/tmp might not yet be mounted, so let's use a directory in /run instead
which is guaranteed to be available.
Debugging mount unit failures caused by systemd not being able to
create the mount point is currently rather hard. Let's log about
failures to create mount points to simplify debugging.
In discover_next_boot(), first we find a new boot ID based on the value
stored in the entry object. Then, find the tail (or head when we are going
upwards) entry of the boot based on the _BOOT_ID= field data.
If boot IDs of an entry in the entry object and _BOOT_ID field data
are inconsistent, which may happen on corrupted journal, then previously
discover_next_boot() failed with -ENODATA.
This makes the function check if the two boot IDs in each entry are
consistent, and skip the entry if not.
Fixes the failure of `journalctl -b -1` for 'truncated' journal:

When READ_FULL_FILE_UNBASE64 (or READ_FULL_FILE_UNHEX) is specified,
setting size argument by caller is difficult, as it is hard to estimate
the encoded length.
This makes when size is specified with decoding option, let's read file
more, and check decoded size later with the specified size.
On normal systems, triggering a timeout should be a bug in code or
configuration error, so I do not think we should extend the default
timeout. Also, we should not introduce a 'first class' configuration
option about that. But, making it configurable may be useful for cases
such that "an extremely highly utilized system (lots of OOM kills,
very high CPU utilization, etc)".
Closes#25441.
Then, timout_compare() becomes simplar, the timeout value becomes
consistent with what sd_netlink_get_timeout() provides.
This also drop unnecessary assignment of reply_callback.timeout after
the slot is dropped from the prioq.
Because journal_file_next_entry_for_data() provides the first entry, while
journal_file_next_entry() actually provides the next entry of the input,
this also renames it to journal_file_move_to_entry_for_data().
Also, previously, on DIRECTION_UP the function did not fall back to the
'extra' entry when all entries linked in the chained array are broken.
This also fixes the issue, and now it fall back to the extra entry.
When we reach an empty array, there are at least two possibilities:
- journal file is corrupted,
- invalid index is requested.
We cannot distinguish them here, let's simply return earlier.
If there's corruption and we are going upwards, then the 'total'
must be decreased when we go to the previous array. However,
previously, we wrongly kept or increased the number. This fixes
the behavior.
This effectively reverts d9b61db922.
In the do-while loop, we do not read any other entry array object, hence
the current object is always in the mmap cache and not necessary to re-read it.
Let's ake sure we check confexts against the confext api level, and
sysext against the sysext api level.
Previously the test would simply be skipped for confexts...
This adds an explicit service for initializing the TPM2 SRK. This is
implicitly also done by systemd-cryptsetup, hence strictly speaking
redundant, but doing this early has the benefit that we can parallelize
this in a nicer way. This also write a copy of the SRK public key in PEM
format to /run/ + /var/lib/, thus pinning the disk image to the TPM.
Making the SRK public key is also useful for allowing easy offline
encryption for a specific TPM.
Sooner or later we should probably grow what this service does, the
above is just the first step. For example, the service should probably
offer the ability to reset the TPM (clear the owner hierarchy?) on a
factory reset, if such a policy is needed. And we might want to install
some default AK (?).
