Yu Watanabe 4c0d8d9673 tree-wide: embed dlopen notes into individual executables
Previously, when a library was dynamically loaded via a helper function
inside libsystemd-shared.so, the resulting dlopen ELF note was not
propagated to the invoking executable's ELF metadata.

This commit explicitly annotates each executable with the relevant
dlopen ELF notes for any optional dependencies it might potentially
load. This ensures that package managers and build systems can properly
discover runtime dependencies that are triggered indirectly.

Luca Boccassi 5ce1786227 polkit: check if user authenticated as admin
The new polkit will return a new detail regarding a successful
authentication: the actual result type, which we can use to
see whether the user authenticated as admin. This can be used
to grant additional privileges.

Dan Anderson cd7aceeaa3 Improve error logging for fstat failure
Small hygiene fix.  r must be >= 0 as per the prior statement (otherwise we would have returned).  This is really only going to be r == 0, which means return r; is return 0;  I'm updating this to use log_debug_errno

Daan De Meyer 79862d33a0 chase: add explicit root_fd parameter to chaseat() and drop CHASE_AT_RESOLVE_IN_ROOT
Split the single directory fd that chaseat() used to take into two separate
fds: a root_fd that sets the chroot boundary (symlinks may not escape it,
absolute symlinks resolve relative to it), and a dir_fd that path resolution
starts from. This makes the chroot semantics of chaseat() explicit at every
call site instead of encoding them in the CHASE_AT_RESOLVE_IN_ROOT flag,
which is removed. It also decouples the starting directory from the root
boundary, so callers can descend from any inode inside the tree without
having to reopen the root separately.

XAT_FDROOT passed as root_fd means "no containment" (host root); as dir_fd
it means "start at root_fd". For a smoother transition, AT_FDCWD is also
accepted as root_fd and treated as XAT_FDROOT. When root_fd points to a
directory that is actually the host root, it is normalized to XAT_FDROOT
up front so the existing shortcut path can kick in.

Absolute paths returned by chaseat() are now relative to root_fd, and
relative paths are relative to dir_fd. The result is absolute only when
there is no chroot boundary (root_fd is XAT_FDROOT), or when an absolute
symlink made resolution jump out of the dir_fd subtree; otherwise callers
get a relative path they can feed straight back into an openat()-style
call against dir_fd. Specifically, when dir_fd == root_fd and we're not
operating on the host's root directory, we return a relative path even if
we received an absolute path or resolved an absolute symlink to allow
passing the path directly to openat() style functions. We do this to not
have to go modify every caller of chaseat() to make sure they deal properly
with any absolute paths they might receive. Only when root_fd != dir_fd do
we have to return an absolute path to indicate that the path is relative to
root_fd and not dir_fd.

The shortcut that skips the per-component walk is reworked around a new
chase_xopenat() helper that funnels CHASE_NOFOLLOW, CHASE_MUST_BE_* and
CHASE_TRIGGER_AUTOFS through xopenat_full()'s O_NOFOLLOW, O_DIRECTORY,
XO_REGULAR, XO_SOCKET and XO_TRIGGER_AUTOMOUNT flags. As a result these
flags no longer force us off the shortcut and can be dropped from
CHASE_NO_SHORTCUT_MASK, and the old openat_opath_with_automount() helper
goes away. A CHASE_MUST_BE_ANY alias is introduced for shortcut callers
(stat/access paths) that don't go through xopenat_full() and still need
to bail on those flags locally.

All *_and_* helpers built on top of chaseat() (chase_and_openat,
chase_and_opendirat, chase_and_statat, chase_and_accessat,
chase_and_fopenat_unlocked, chase_and_unlinkat, chase_and_open_parent_at)
gain the same root_fd parameter, and every call site in the tree is
ported to the new signature.

chase_and_open() is also fixed to correctly handle CHASE_EXTRACT_FILENAME
without CHASE_PARENT.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 1726224b07 many: final final set of coccinelle check-pointer-deref tweaks (#41595)
I promised in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41426 that its the
final update for coccinelle pointer deref checks. However it turned out
there is this coccinelle/parsing_hacks.h that I wasn't aware of. The
file missed some important things like _cleanup_(x) that prevented
coccinelle to check a bunch of functions.

This PR adds some missing defines to the parsing_hacks.h and fixes the
missing asserts(). I apologize that its a bit long (and frankly boring)
and that I missed this earlier.

The last commit contains one small behavior change (ret in
sd_varlink_idl_parse() is now really optional) but the big one is very
mechanical.

Daan De Meyer 614509699a loop-util: use auto-detect open mode for loop device setup
When callers do not explicitly request read-only mode, pass open_flags
as -1 (auto-detect) instead of hardcoding O_RDWR. This enables the
existing O_RDWR-to-O_RDONLY retry logic in loop_device_make_by_path_at()
which falls back to O_RDONLY when opening the backing device with O_RDWR
fails with EROFS or similar errors.

Previously, callers passed O_RDWR explicitly when read-only mode was not
requested, which bypassed the retry logic entirely. This meant that
inherently read-only block devices (such as CD-ROMs) would fail to open
instead of gracefully falling back to read-only mode.

Also propagate the unresolved open_flags through
loop_device_make_by_path_at() into loop_device_make_internal() instead
of resolving it to O_RDWR early. For loop_device_make_by_path_memory(),
resolve to O_RDWR immediately since memfds are always writable.

In mstack, switch from loop_device_make() to
loop_device_make_by_path_at() with a NULL path, which reopens the
O_PATH file descriptor with the appropriate access mode. This is
necessary because the backing file descriptor is opened with O_PATH,
which prevents loop_device_make_internal() from auto-detecting the
access mode via fcntl(F_GETFL).

Lennart Poettering 2e9208199f stat-util: teach statx_mount_same() STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE
So far statx_mount_same() assumed STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE didn't exist.
However it does exist, hence do something useful if we see it set. Note
that this creates a certain ambiguity: if we compare one statx struct
with STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE and one without it (but with the regular mnt
id), then we cnanot really come to a clear conclusion, hence need to
introduce a third, unknown state.

Note that we don't request STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE yet wherever we call
statx_mount_same(). THis will be added in a later commit.

Lennart Poettering 68ed4f3c66 mountfsd,nsresource: allow recycling mountfsd/nsresourced client connections
So far we opened a new Varlink connection for every mountfsd/nsresourced
method call. Given each tool only does a very small number of calls
(usually 1…5) on them and the connections are cheap this is not too
wasteful. Nonetheless, let's do something about it, and allow reusing
the connection for multiple calls.

This not only makes things a bit more efficient, but has one more
important benefit: Varlink connections pin the security context of the
client when connecting. This means that varlink method calls done with a
connection established while some code was privileged will still operate
as privieged once privs are dropped, until the connection is closed.
This pinning effect is really nice, as it gives us behaviour in a
"capability system" like scheme. Later code is going to use that to
continue doing certain priv userns ops even after unsharing userns and
becoming fully unpriv.

Lennart Poettering 2557f78c07 mountfsd: do not cross mount boundaries when looking for parent of foreign UID range owned dirs

make protections more rigid: when looking for a parent dir of a foreign
UID owned dir tree, refuse to cross mount boundaries.

open_tree() will fail with EINVAL when passed a directory file descriptor

namespace of the peer if needed and calling open_tree() there and then
passing the fd back to the mountfsd process.

Luca Boccassi 78b40aea61 mountfsd: add support for mount options
RootImageOptions=/ExtensionImages=/MountImages= all support custom
mount options, but mountfsd does not support it. Add varlink
parameters to allow callers to specify mount options so that
those directives can work as expected.

Given the security implications of some mount options (e.g.: ACLs,
SELinux), require additional privileges to use custom mount options.
Pass the list of requested options to polkit details, so that the
policy can check the exact details if needed, for example to only
allow nosuid and reject the rest.

Kai Lueke fd8a1deb0b sysext: Get verity user certs from given --root=
The verity user certs weren't looked up in the given --root= for
systemd-sysext which made it fail to set up extensions with a strict
image policy.
Look up verity user certs from inside the --root= when we operate on
images in it. The main use case where this matters is when the initrd
sets up the extensions for the final system and thus systemd-sysext
should do the same thing as it would do in the final system.

Lennart Poettering d4f8be786c mountfsd: allow O_NONBLOCK on image fds
Let's accept O_NONBLOCK on image fds. It's usually wise to open block
device with O_NONBLOCK as it means that drivers with removable media
won't block until a medium is inserted. Otherwise it has no effect. It
also has no effect when opening regular files. Since block devices and
raw devices are the only two things we accept in mountfsd, it's hence
safe to allow it.

Lennart Poettering 46341769b7 mountfsd: optionally accept an access mode for the dir created by MakeDirectory()
So far we expected the client to access the access mode themselves, and
set a restrictive 0700 server-side.

However, in some scenarios it's handy if the inode is created
server-side already with the right mode, in particular when the client
doesn't do anything with the dir just yet, and just needs it to be there
with the right mode. If it has to adjust the mode client-side it might
otherwise need to fork something off, join the selected userns, adjust
the mode, and kill the child off again.

Luca Boccassi 7c0afcdde2 core: gracefully skip unknown policy designators in RootImagePolicy et al (#40060)
Usually we gracefully ignore unknown configuration parameters, so that
service files can be written by upstreams and used across a variegated
range of distributions with various versions of systemd, to avoid
forcing users to the minimum common denominator and only adding settings
that are supported by the oldest distro supported.

Image policies do not behave like this, and any unknown partition or
policy designator causes the whole unit to fail to parse and a hard
error.

Change it so that parsing RootImagePolicy and friends via unit file or
D-Bus logs but otherwise ignores unknown specifiers, like other options
do.

This allows us to add new specifiers in the future, and users to adopt
them immediately.

This is useful when we start to call mountfsd from root, for example

Note that this requires the caller to be root, and it will be rejected
otherwise, as such images are classified as 'unprotected' and the
enforced policy does not accept them for unprivileged users.

Previously, we'd take the image policy only into consideration when

effort. Change that. This means we can now enforce policies such as
activating by root hash only even if a signature exists and similar.

Also, introduce a separate error code if we try to unlock a Verity
volume but have no root hash. Previously we'd return ENOKEY for that,
exactly like we do for encrypted volumes where we have no passparse. The
interctive unlock loop dissected_image_decrypt_interactively() is
otherwise very confused and will ask for a root hash, which makes no
sense. Hence use two distinct errors for this.

Lennart Poettering 1a00afe0ff mountfsd: slightly relax restrictions on dir fds to mount
When establishing a idmapped mount for a directory with foreign mapping
we so far insisted in the dir being properly opened (i.e. via a
non-O_PATH fd) being passed to mountfsd. This is problematic however,
since the client might not actually be able to open the dir (which after
all is owned by the foreign UID, not by the user). Hence, let's relax
the rules, and accept an O_PATH fd too (which the client can get even
without privs). This should be safe, since the load-bearing security
check is whether the dir has a parent owned by the client's UID, and
for that check O_PATH or not O_PATH is not relevant.

Yu WatanabeandLuca Boccassi 4279336618 chase: trigger automount only when explicitly requested
Since c5de7b14ae
file searching implies a new mount api syscall by default,
to trigger automounts.

But, this is not necessary in most cases, e.g. when chasing
syspath in sd-device (actually this causes regression in umockdev,
see https://github.com/martinpitt/umockdev/issues/271).
Another example is reading unit files, especially .network files,
as automount may trigger mounting network filesystems...

Also, when this is used in NSS plugins, programs that load the
plugins may fail because of spuriously configured seccomp. See #38565.

Let's not trigger automount by default, and do only when explicitly
requested.

This introduces CHASE_TRIGGER_AUTOFS, and use it in
- service manager,
- bootctl and finding ESP/xbootldr,
- sysupdate,
- mountfsd,
- systemd-mount.

There may be several more places we should trigger automount, but let's
do that later.

Follow-up for c5de7b14ae.
Fixes #38565.
Replaces #38569.

Yu Watanabe 2e7d7e929e Revert "chase: invert CHASE_NO_AUTOFS and only set it where needed"
This reverts commit 490aa05ca1.

As commented https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/38569#discussion_r2284978273,
the commit makes autofs check bypassed. Before the commit, when
CHASE_NO_AUTOFS is set, we did not shortcut chasing paths, and refused
any autofs mount points in the path. However, with the commit, the flag
was swapped but even when CHASE_AUTOFS is unset, the autofs check may be
skipped.

To fix the issue, rather than swapping the flag, we should introduce
another flag, say CHASE_TRIGGER_AUTOFS. This revert the commit, and in a
later commit, the new flag will be introduced.
