Let's add an explicit session class "user-early" for this, so that
change of behaviour on logind is primarily bound to the "class"
property, and not some explicit root checks. This has the benefit that
we can be more fine grained with implying this class: only do so for tty
sessions, not others.
Currently, the only way to set display name of a graphical session is to
pass it to CreateSession(). But modern display managers like gdm start
the display server as part of the user session, which means that the
display name isn't known yet when the session is being created. Hence,
let's make it possible to set it later.
As suggested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11484#issuecomment-775288617.
This does not touch anything exposed in src/systemd. Changing the defines there
would be a compatibility break.
Note that tests are broken after this commit. They will be fixed in the next one.
Previously we'd allow marking TTY sessions as idle, but when the user
tried to unmark it as idle again it we'd just revert to automatic TTY
atime idle detection, thus making it impossible to mark the session as
non-idle, unless its TTY is atime-touched all the time. But of course,
marking a session as idle is pretty much fatal if you never can mark it
as non-idle again.
This change is triggred by bug reports such as this:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/14053
With this patch we will now output a clean, clear error message if a
client tries to manipulate the idle state of a non-graphical session.
This means we now have clear rules: "manual" idle logic for graphical
sessions, and TTY based ones for all others that have a TTY of some
form.
I considered allowing the idle state to be overriden both ways for tty
sessions but that's problematic: for sessions that are temporarily
upgraded from tty to graphical and thus suddenly want to manage their
own idle state we'd need to a way to detect when the upgrade goes away
and thus we should revert to old behaviour. Without reverting to the
previous TTY idle auto-magic we'd otherwise be stuck in an eternally
idle or eternally non-idle state, with really bad effects in case
auto-suspend is used. Thus, let's instead generate a proper error
message, saying clearly we don't support it.
(Also includes some other fixes and clean-ups in related code)
Closes: #14053
Previously, logind's logind-session.h would define prototypes for
logind-session.c and logind-session-dbus.c. Split that out, so that
there's a separate logind-session-dbus.h for that. Similar for seats and
users as well as the manager itself.
This changes no code, just rearranges where protoypes are located.
Most of the operations one can do on sessions so far accepted an empty
session name as a shortcut for the caller's session. This is quite
useful traditionally, but much less useful than it used to be, since
most user code now (rightfully) runs in --user context, not in a
session.
With this change we tweak the logic a bit: we introduce the two special
session and seat names "self" and "auto". The former refers to the
session/seat the client is in, and is hence mostly equivalent to te
empty string "" as before. However, the latter refers to the
session/seat the client is in if that exists, with a fallback of the
user's display session if not. Clients can hence reference "auto"
instead of the empty string if they really don't want to think much
about sessions.
Why "self" btw? Previously, we'd already expose a special dbus object
with the path /org/freedesktop/login1/session/self (and similar for the
seat), matching what the empty string did for bus calls that took a
session name. With this scheme we reuse this identifier and introduce
"auto" in a similar way.
Of course this means real-life seats and sessions can never be named
"self" or "auto", but they aren't anyway: valid seat names have to start
with "seat" anyway, and sessions are generated server-side as either a
numeric value or "c" suffixed with a counter ID.
Fixes: #12399
Instead of managing it explicitly, let's simplify things and rely on
regular Wants=/Requires= dependencies to pull in these units from
user@.service and the session scope, and StopWhenUneeded= to stop these
auxiliary units again. This way, they can be pulled in easily by
unrelated units too.
This simplifies things quite a bit: for each session we now only need to
manage the session scope, and for each user the user@.service, the other
units are not something we need to manage anymore.
This patch also makes sure that if user@.service of a user is masked we
will continue to work, and user-runtime-dir@.service will still be
correctly pulled in, as it is now a dependency of the scope unit.
Fixes: #9461
Replaces: #5546
Let's update things a bit to follow current practices:
- User structure initialization rather than zero-initialized allocation
- Always propagate proper errors from allocation functions
- Use _cleanup_ for freeing objects when allocation fails half-way
- Make destructors return NULL
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
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 patch ensures that session devices are saved for each session.
In order to make the revokation logic work when logind is restarted, the
session devices are now saved in the session state files and their respective
file descriptors sent to PID1's fdstore in order to keep them open accross
restart.
This is mandatory in order to keep the revokation logic working. Indeed in case
of input-devices, the same file descriptors must be shared by logind and a
given session controller in order EVIOCREVOKE to work otherwise multiple
sessions can have device access in parallel.
This should be the only remaining and missing piece for making logind fully
restartable.
Fixes: #1163
When assigning a new session controller to a session, the VT is prepared so the
controller can expect the VT to be in a good default state.
However when logind is restarted and a session controller already took control
of a session, there's no need to prepare th VT otherwise logind may screw up
the VT state set by the controller.
This patch prevents the preparation of the VT in this case.
Let logind use the sd_bus_track helper object to track the controllers of
sessions. This does not only remove quite some code but also kills the
unconditional matches for all NameOwnerChanged signals.
The latter is something we should never ever do, as it wakes up the daemon
every time a client connects, which doesn't scale.
Spell out the proper name. Use 'pos' over 'position', and also update the
logind state file to do the same. Note that this breaks live updates.
However, we only save 'POSITION' on non-seat0, so this shouldn't bother
anyone for real. If you run multi-seat setups, you better restart a
machine on updates, anyway.
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant
in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from
the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
Also, allow clients to alter their own objects without any further
priviliges. i.e. this allows clients to kill and lock their own sessions
without involving PK.
If a session controller does not need synchronous VT switches, we allow
them to pass VT control to logind, which acknowledges all VT switches
unconditionally. This works fine with all sessions using the dbus API,
but causes out-of-sync device use if we switch to legacy sessions that
are notified via VT signals. Those are processed before logind notices
the session-switch via sysfs. Therefore, leaving the old session still
active for a short amount of time.
This, in fact, may cause the legacy session to prepare graphics devices
before the old session was deactivated, and thus, maybe causing the old
session to interfer with graphics device usage.
Fix this by releasing devices immediately before acknowledging VT
switches. This way, sessions without VT handlers are required to support
async session switching (which they do in that case, anyway).
sd-event does not allow multiple handlers for a single signal. However,
logind sets up signal handlers for each session with VT_PROCESS set (that
is, it has an active controller). Therefore, registering multiple such
controllers will fail.
Lets make the VT-handler global, as it's mostly trivial, anyway. This way,
the sessions don't have to take care of that and we can simply acknowledge
all VT-switch requests as we always did.
If controllers can expect logind to have "prepared" the VT (e.g. set it to
graphics mode, etc) then TakeControl() should fail if said preparation
failed (and session_restore_vt() was called).
(David: fixed up !CONFIG_VT case and errno-numbers)
When we dropped support for creating a per-user to the "main" X11
display we stopped returning useful data in the "Display" user property.
With this change this is fixed and we again expose an appropriate
(graphical session) in the property that is useful as the "main" one, if
one is needed.
This function is no longer just about muteing the VT. We do all kinds of
VT setup for sessions using the controller-API. Rename the function to
something more appropriate.
