- test-random-util is reworked to not use sqrt()
- pretty-print.c inlines ceil() so libm doesn't have
to be linked into libshared
- We add fno-math-errno to allow inlining of more math
functions by not requiring standard math functions to
set errno on invalid input.
exp10() has a symbol version > 2.34 on latest glibc. To allow
dropping our baseline required glibc runtime version to <= 2.34,
let's add our own version to prevent pulling in the newer symbol
from glibc.
Methods:
- `io.systemd.Job.List` — list all queued jobs or look up by `id`/`unit`
name, with streaming support. Uses context/runtime split: `JobContext`
(Unit, JobType) and `JobRuntime` (Id, State, Result,
ActivationDetails). Follows the same SELinux and parameter-conflict
patterns as `io.systemd.Unit.List`.
- `io.systemd.Job.Cancel` — cancel a specific job by ID, with SELinux
and polkit authorization.
- `io.systemd.Job.ClearAll` — cancel all pending jobs, with SELinux and
polkit authorization.
`message_skip_fields()` recursively processes D-Bus variant types in
message header fields with no depth limit. A crafted message with deeply
nested variants can cause unbounded recursion and overflow the stack.
Add a `depth` parameter checked against `BUS_CONTAINER_DEPTH` (128),
matching the limit already enforced by the public
`sd_bus_message_skip()` API. All recursive call sites pass `depth + 1`,
and the top-level caller in `message_parse_fields()` passes `0`.
Craft a raw D-Bus message with an unknown header field containing
BUS_CONTAINER_DEPTH+1 nested variants and verify that message parsing
rejects it with -EBADMSG rather than recursing until stack overflow.
message_skip_fields() recurses for each nested variant ('v') type in
D-Bus message header fields. A crafted message with deeply nested
variants (e.g., a variant containing a variant containing a variant...)
causes unbounded stack growth, leading to stack overflow and crash.
Add a depth parameter that increments on each recursive call and
rejects messages exceeding BUS_CONTAINER_DEPTH with -EBADMSG. This
matches the existing depth limits enforced elsewhere in the sd-bus
message processing (e.g., bus_message_enter_container).
Each dlopen_*() wrapper kept its dl handle as a file-scope
'static void *xxx_dl = NULL;' even though only the wrapper itself
ever referenced it. Move each one inside the corresponding function
so its scope matches its actual use, leaving the rest of each
translation unit free of the unused file-scope name.
In pcre2-util.c the assert(pcre2_dl) in pattern_matches_and_log()
becomes assert(sym_pcre2_match), which carries the same invariant
(pattern_compile_and_log() ran dlopen_pcre2()).
- **bpf-util: rename from bpf-dlopen, unify version-specific symbol
handling**
- **cryptsetup: dlopen libcryptsetup in tokens**
- **tree-wide: dlopen libpam in pam plugins**
- **test-bus-marshal: dlopen() glib and libdbus instead of linking
directly**
- **lock-util: Simplify timeout for lock_generic_with_timeout()**
- **color-util: simplify hsv_to_rgb, fix rgb_to_hsv negative-hue wrap**
- **tree-wide: Use our own macros instead of fabs()/fmax()/fmin()**
- **locale-util: dlopen() libintl instead of linking against it**
- **home: Use log2u64() over log2()**
- **meson: drop libdl, threads, and librt dependencies**
- **libc: Use dlsym() from a constructor instead of weak symbols**
- **libc: Make sure C23 versions of strtol(), sscanf() are not used**
Our baseline glibc is 2.34, which merged libdl, libpthread (the
dependency('threads') target), and librt into libc. Empty .so/.a stubs
remain for backward compatibility with old binaries, but new builds
resolve dl_*, pthread_*, mq_*, timer_*, etc. directly from libc.
On musl the same libraries are likewise empty stubs.
Drop the libdl, threads, and librt entries from every meson.build, and
remove the now-stale 'Libs.private: -lrt -pthread' from libudev.pc.in
since both flags resolve to empty link-time stubs on glibc 2.34+ and
musl.
Verified with readelf -d that libsystemd.so, libudev.so, and systemd no
longer carry DT_NEEDED entries for libdl/libpthread/librt.
To make this work, ABS() is made generic so it also works on
floats and doubles.
While at it, fold the __ABS_INTEGER indirection and the
assert_cc(sizeof(long long) == sizeof(intmax_t)) away. The previous
form switched between __builtin_llabs (clang) and __builtin_imaxabs
(gcc), with the assert keeping the two paths behaviorally identical
on every platform we build for. imaxabs was originally chosen because
intmax_t is conceptually the widest signed integer type the platform
exposes, but the _Generic ABS already casts to (long long) before the
call, so the extra width imaxabs could in theory carry was being
narrowed away immediately anyway. With both paths collapsed to
__builtin_llabs((long long) (a)), the size relationship between
long long and intmax_t is no longer relevant.
Also add explicit unsigned long long / unsigned long / unsigned int
cases that pass the argument through unchanged. The previous default
branch cast unsigned values to (long long); for values above LLONG_MAX
this reinterprets them as negative, and __builtin_llabs(LLONG_MIN) is
UB. Unsigned values are already non-negative, so passing them through
is both correct and avoids the narrowing. Smaller unsigned types
(unsigned char, unsigned short) still go through the default branch
but promote to int first and fit in long long losslessly.

The test only uses 9 symbols (5 from glib, 4 from libdbus) for its
interop checks; dlopen them at runtime so the binary no longer carries a
hard link-time dependency on either library. Headers are still pulled in
through the *_cflags partial dependencies for the type declarations.
While we're at it, drop the compat glue for glib 2.36 which is long obsolete
at this point.
Job IDs are uint32_t values that are always >= 1 (the manager's ID counter starts at 1 and wraps from UINT32_MAX back to 1, never assigning 0). Add a dedicated dispatch function that validates this constraint, rejecting 0 and treating null as "unset" (0).

The read value are exposed by sd_device_get_subsystem() and friends.
Hence, it is better to filter invalid characters.
Of course, these should be always safe unless the kernel is buggy.
But, just for safety.
Note, even if uevent file contains invalid characters, then
device_read_uevent_file() should succeed without parsing the contents.
The caller should fail later with a proper error code if a necessary
field is unset. E.g. sd_device_get_ifindex() should still return -ENOENT
even when uevent file contains an invalid characters.
This introduce a helper function that verifies read sysattr value.
Some sysattr value may come from firmware, and kernel may expose unsafe
string. The introduced function should be used when we use the result as
a string.
This bothered me for a while, but I didn't think too much about it and just
copied the existing usage pattern. But it really doesn't make sense. We expect
the compiler to align the section properly. But if it didn't align it, applying
alignment after the fact would just cause our pointer to point to the middle
of the structure. That'd be even worse than a misaligned pointer.
Similarly, when doing pointer arithmetic, p++ should really result in a value
with the appropriate alignment. This is the basic principle of C pointer
addition. So we really shouldn't try to adjust the pointer ourselves. At most,
we can assert that it is indeed aligned in tests.
Device enumeration may encounter transient errors such as ENXIO when devices
appear or disappear concurrently. These conditions represent expected "device absent"
races and should be treated uniformly across the enumeration logic.
This change replaces the ENODEV-specific check with ERRNO_IS_NEG_DEVICE_ABSENT(),
ensuring that all expected disappearance conditions are handled consistently.
Unexpected errors are still propagated, while expected races are ignored without
aborting the enumeration.
For libc syscall wrappers (pidfd_open, fsopen, openat2, etc.) we previously
gated the calls behind build-time HAVE_* checks. Replace these with shim
functions in src/libc/ that fall back to the raw syscall at runtime when the
loaded glibc lacks the symbol. The infrastructure lives in src/libc/libc-shim.h:
DEFINE_SYSCALL_SHIM falls back to a direct syscall, DEFINE_LIBC_SHIM returns
ENOSYS (for posix_spawn-family helpers that have no corresponding syscall), and
DEFINE_LIBC_ERRNO_SHIM sets errno=ENOSYS and returns -1 (for read/write-style
helpers). The weak reference to the libc symbol is bound via __asm__(\"name\")
rename so the bare libc identifier never appears as a C token — this avoids
both #undef boilerplate against override-header redirects and the resulting
-Wredundant-decls warning. Drop the corresponding cc.has_function() loop from
meson.build.
For optional libraries (libcryptsetup, libdw, libarchive), drop the per-symbol
HAVE_* checks. Always declare the prototypes, suppressing the redundant-decl
warnings via DISABLE_WARNING_REDUNDANT_DECLS and NOLINT, and resolve the symbols
after the main dlopen via a new DLSYM_OPTIONAL() helper that only assigns on
success. libcryptsetup's crypt_set_keyring_to_link / crypt_token_set_external_path
and libarchive's *_is_set wrappers use fallback functions as their pointer
initializers (returning -ENOSYS and 0 respectively), so call sites can invoke
the symbol unconditionally and just check for -ENOSYS where the \"not supported\"
distinction matters.
The same shim treatment applies to pidfd_spawn / posix_spawnattr_setcgroup_np
(src/libc/spawn.c) and epoll_pwait2 (src/libc/epoll.c), with corresponding
override headers in src/include/override/spawn.h and
src/include/override/sys/epoll.h. posix_spawn_wrapper() in process-util.c and
epoll_wait_usec() in sd-event.c now detect ENOSYS in the return value instead
of checking the function pointer, falling back to plain posix_spawn() and
epoll_wait() respectively. coredump-config and coredump-submit get a
dlopen_dw_has_dwfl_set_sysroot() helper. The kexec arch gate now uses
defined(__NR_kexec_file_load) directly; pidfd.h uses __has_include_next() to
decide whether to pull in glibc's header.
This lets binaries built against newer glibc / libcryptsetup / libdw /
libarchive headers still load and run on older targets where these symbols are
absent.
JSON only supports string keys in objects, but D-Bus specification is a
bit more lenient and allows dict entries to have any basic type as key.
Let's stringify allowed non-string keys so that we can represent them as
JSON objects.
Relevant snippet from the D-Bus specification:
A DICT_ENTRY works exactly like a struct, but rather than parentheses
it uses curly braces, and it has more restrictions. The restrictions
are: it occurs only as an array element type; it has exactly two
single complete types inside the curly braces; the first single
complete type (the "key") must be a basic type rather than a container
type. Implementations must not accept dict entries outside of arrays,
must not accept dict entries with zero, one, or more than two fields,
and must not accept dict entries with non-basic-typed keys. A dict
entry is always a key-value pair.
Resolves: #32904
When an LSM (e.g. SELinux) denies an fd transfer or the receiver hits
RLIMIT_NOFILE, the kernel drops the fd(s) from the SCM_RIGHTS cmsg and
sets MSG_CTRUNC on the recvmsg(). recvmsg_safe() turns that into
-ECHRNG, which causes json_stream_read() to discard the data bytes
that were nevertheless received and the varlink server to silently
tear down the connection — leaving the caller waiting for a reply
that never comes.
Inline the recvmsg() call instead and, on MSG_CTRUNC, drop the partial
fds but keep the message data. The method handler will surface a clean
-ENXIO when it tries to peek the missing fd, which sd-varlink wraps as
io.systemd.System for the peer, instead of a hang. This matches the
recent sd-bus fix in 6c8de404c9 ('sd-bus: allow receiving messages with
MSG_CTRUNC set').
Like JSON_BUILD_PAIR_FINITE_USEC() but also suppresses zero values. Useful for usec_t fields where zero means "disabled" or "not configured" (e.g. KeepAliveTimeUSec, DeferAcceptUSec, RandomizedDelayUSec) as opposed to timeout fields where zero would be unusual and worth showing.
We have a number of *_unref_and_replace macros. One could think that
they are like the various free_and_replace variants, but they actually
create a new ref to the passed object. The free_and_replace variants
take ownership of the argument. This inconsistency is surprising. Rename
all those functions to have "_new_ref" at the end to make the difference
clear.
storagectl's mount.storage helper bundles "open StorageProvider socket
+ Acquire() + dispatch reply + take fd" inline. Future consumers
(systemd-vmspawn boot-time --bind-volume, machinectl bind-volume) need
the same dance.
Factor it into a single libshared helper that takes the Acquire()
parameters by value and returns the fd plus the actual type/read-only
flags. Library code, so no logging — varlink errors are surfaced via
sd_varlink_error_to_errno() and the StorageProvider error_id is
returned to the caller via reterr_error_id (caller decides how to
format messages).

Let's cap the number of states/patterns per query to something
reasonable, i.e. max 256 states and 4K patterns per query.
---
Also, use the env assignments limit in a couple more places.
Turns out we can utilize this limit at a couple more places, so let's
move the previously defined limit constant to env-util.h and use it to
guard a couple more D-Bus methods. Also, bump it a bit, given it's meant
to be a safety cap that can't be hit in valid scenarios.
Follow-up for 7671b43cb8.
I am really not a fan of full code lines passed to macros as parameters.
Let's get rid of the 3rd parameter of FOREACH_OPTION() hence:
1. Let's return errors just as a regular value (though a negative one),
that can be handled via a OPTION_ERROR case statement for the switch.
This normalizes handling of the error, just like any other event
returned by the option parser.
2. In order to avoid exploding the amount of boilerplate in each use
(that just propagates the error on OPTION_ERROR), let's then
introduce an explicit FOREACH_OPTION_OR_RETURN(), that returns from
the calling function on its own (and makes that clear in the name).
Together this cleans up, normalizes the logic and shortens the code.
DEFINE_POINTER_ARRAY_CLEAR_FUNC() generates a helper of the form
helper_array_clear(T *array, size_t n) that drops each element but does
not free the array itself, parallel to DEFINE_POINTER_ARRAY_FREE_FUNC()
for cases where the array has automatic storage duration.
CLEANUP_ELEMENTS() pairs with these helpers to provide a _cleanup_-like
attribute for fixed-size arrays: the bound is taken from ELEMENTSOF(),
and the helper is invoked across the elements at scope exit. Compared to
CLEANUP_ARRAY(), the storage is neither freed nor zeroed.
Migrate various logic across the tree over to the new macros.
sd-device: use DEFINE_POINTER_ARRAY_CLEAR_FUNC() for sd_device_unref_array_clear()
Replace the local device_unref_many() helper with the macro-generated
equivalent.
format-table: switch help-table arrays to CLEANUP_ELEMENTS()
Generate table_unref_array_clear() via DEFINE_POINTER_ARRAY_CLEAR_FUNC()
and convert the help-table arrays in bootctl, cryptenroll, nspawn,
repart and vmspawn to CLEANUP_ELEMENTS(). The arrays no longer need a
trailing NULL slot, so the size matches ELEMENTSOF() of the groups
array.
firewall-util: switch netlink message arrays to CLEANUP_ELEMENTS()
Generate sd_netlink_message_unref_array_clear() via
DEFINE_POINTER_ARRAY_CLEAR_FUNC() in place of the NULL-terminated
sd_netlink_message_unref_many(), and convert the two stack arrays of
sd_netlink_message pointers to CLEANUP_ELEMENTS().
BindPath= in unit files, and --bind= in nspawn/vmspawn doesn't really
cut it to connect arbitrary storage infra to it. Let's do something
about it, and implement a simple, light-weight API for acquiring an fd
to a storage volume. Benefits:
1. the interface can be implemented by anyone, connecting anything to
vmspawn/nspawn/service management
2. very lose coupling: just bind a socket into a well-known dir, done
3. mounting can happen on-demand
