https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/39168 made verity sharing
opt-in, and enabled it for system services.
Also enable it for user services for RootImage/etc, and for nspawn, for
the same reasons.
Implements DHCP option 15 (Domain Name) for systemd-networkd's DHCP
server, allowing administrators to configure the DNS default domain that
clients should use.
This addresses the feature request in issue #37077, where users needed
to manually configure domain names using
SendOption=15:string:example.com as a workaround.
This adds two new configuration options to the [DHCPServer] section:
- EmitDomain= (boolean): whether to send domain name to clients
- Domain= (string): the domain name to send (e.g., "example.com")
Example configuration:
[DHCPServer] EmitDomain=yes Domain=example.com
This eliminates the need for manual workarounds using
SendOption=15:string:...
Fixes#37077
Let's use libarchive consistently everywhere, both for tarring and
untarring.
Note that there's an existing test case that validates untarring. Now,
it will validate libarchive rather than gnu tar.
Split out of #38728
Let's reduce our attack surface by insisting that XBOOTLDR is vfat when
auto-probing, just like we do for the ESP. Given neither can
realistically be integrity protected (because firmware needs to access
them) let's insist on a vfat which has a much smaller attack surface,
and one we have to accept (for now) anyway, given that the ESP must be
VFAT.
This only applies to auto-probing of course. If people mount things
explicitly via fstab none of this matters. But we really shouldn't
automount a btrfs/xfs/ext4 partition as XBOOTLDR just because it looks
like one, as that would really defeat our otherwise possibly very strict
image policies.
This also introduces a new env var $SYSTEMD_DISSECT_FSTYPE_<DESIGNATOR>
environment variable that may override this hardcoding. This is in
particular useful in our testcases, since various actually do use ext4
as XBOOTLDR case. The tests are updated to make use of the new env var,
both as a mechanism to test this and to keep the tests working.
Just like RootImage=, ExtensionImages= etc, nspawn can make use of
this to save a lot of time when starting containers that use an already
open image, since the default was changed to disabled.
Follow-up for 57d1ceffb3
This ensures user services using RootImage=, ExtensionImages= etc. also
try to reuse existing verity devices, like system services.

Similarly to the udev rules handling KVM and Hyper-V PTP devices, create
symlinks for the s390-specific STCKE and Physical clocks (supported
since Linux 6.13) to have some stable names that can be specified in
default configurations of PTP/NTP applications.
Previously, we used either the fully split path or the fully merged path,
treating "split sbin" as a boolean condition. The idea was that conversion to
to merged bin would be a single event, so we don't need to care about the
details of the transition. But it turns out that some systems may be converted
in disparate steps. In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2400220,
there was a lengthy discussion about a coreos system where
/usr/local/{bin,sbin} were created as separate directories. Since /usr/local is
not part of the packaged system, it might remain split for a longer time. So
check /usr/local/s?bin separately and stop adding /usr/sbin to $PATH if only
/usr/local/s?bin is split. (I don't think it makes sense to handle the reverse
case, i.e. only /usr/s?bin being split, since that should be much rarer.)
Inspired by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2400220.
Otherwise it pulls in libz-ng-compat1 which isn't 100% compatible with
libz1, and more importantly it requires an ldconfig drop-in in /etc/
(/etc/ld.so.conf.d/zlib-ng-compat-x86_64.conf) which breaks hermetic-usr
and TEST-07-PID1:
systemd[5582]: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The test added in f4c3c107d9 uncovered a
corner case while recalculating the next elapse timestamp of a timer unit
that uses RandomizedDelaySec= during deserialization.
If the scheduled time (without RandomizedDelaySec=) already elapsed,
systemd "rebases" the next elapse timestamp to the time when systemd
first started, to make the RandomizedDelaySec= feature work even at
boot. However, since it was done unconditionally, it always overrode the
next elapse timestamp, which could then cause the final next elapse
timestamp to fall out of the expected window.
With a couple of additional debug logs one of the test fail looks like
this:

Here the original next elapse timestamp was Tue 2025-10-14 00:10:00 CEST
as expected, but it was overridden by the rebased timestamp:
Tue 2025-10-14 00:10:56 CEST. And when a new randomized delay was added
to it (21h 59min 7.955828s) the final next elapse timestamp fell out of
the expected window, i.e. Tue 2025-10-14 00:10:00 (scheduled time) <
Tue 2025-10-14 22:10:04 CEST (rebased elapse timestamp + randomized
delay) < Tue 2025-10-14 22:10:00 CEST (scheduled time + maximum from
RandomizedDelaySec=, i.e. 22h).
By limiting the timestamp rebase only the case where the unit hasn't
already run should prevent this from happening during daemon-reload.
This reverts commit e1e1ef09f9.
This change was misguided. The warning is enough during development and will
get fixed, but turning this into a hard failure just makes WIP harder. Also, a
hard error increases the likelyhood of a build failure in scenarios where
somebody is disabling components (as seen e.g. in
ba8801a076). We already are not very good at
keeping our codebase compile correctly as it ages, because of changes in
compilers and dependencies, and we should not go out of our way to increase the
probability of failure. Such scenarios are painful for downstream builds.
We dropped support for split-usr a while ago, which means that the programs
will be in /usr/sbin, which actually may be the same as /usr/bin on merged-bin
systems. So the whole checking is mostly pointless in the usual case. OTOH, on
Nix the paths will be totally different and need to be set through the option
anyway. So save time during builds by using the "fallback" path unless the
option is specified.
This avoid some busywork during the slow serial build phase.
The point of the "const" attribute is to give the compiler hints about
behaviour of functions if it only has the function prototype but no body
around. But inline functions are the ones where the compiler *always*
has the body around, hence the "const" decorator is really just noise:
the compuler can determine the constness on its own, just by looking at
the code.
Hence, drop the decorators, it's just noise. And a source of errors, as
675fa49f69 has shown.
Follow-up for: #39289
This way we have can expose identical behaviour everywhere, can make use
of our atomic replacement calls, and openat() logic, and later apply
additional tracks while unpacking, such as putting limits on UID ranges
and similar.
Previously, we'd take the image policy only into consideration when
dissecting the mage, but for the unlock/verity step we'd go via best
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.
Sharing verity volumes is problematic for a veriety of reasons, for
example because it might pin the wrong backing device at the wrong time.
Let's hence turn this around: unless verity sharing is enabled, leave it
off, and turn $SYSTEMD_VERITY_SHARING into a true boolean that can be
set both ways.
The primary usecase for verity sharing is RootImage=, where it probably
makes sense to leave on, hence set the flag there.
This is crucial when putting together installers which install an OS on
a second disk: if verity sharing is always on we might mount the wrong
of the two disks at the wrong time.
Before:
Next elapse timestamp should be Sun Oct 12 00:10:00 UTC 2025 <= Sun 2025-10-12 05:43:04 UTC <= Sun Oct 12 22:10:00 UTC
After:
Next elapse timestamp should be Tue 2025-10-14 00:10:00 CEST <= Tue 2025-10-14 19:39:11 CEST <= Tue 2025-10-14 22:10:00 CEST
Both the const and pure attributes disallow modifying input arguments
but sd_id128_in_setv() clearly modifies its ap input argument by iterating
over it with va_arg() so drop the _sd_const_ attribute from
sd_id128_in_setv().
If systemd-pcrphase-initrd.service and friends failed for some reasons,
the test VM will reboot infinitely and the test will timeout. Let's
propagate the failure to the host and fail the test earlier in that case.
When using canary check with "-fstack-protector-all" option. It causes a configure
error in systemd-boot when meson.build executes compile simple code to test linker option
"-static-pie" because -nolibstd option prevents using libc. It need for
canary to provide some function as "__stack_chk_guard". So need to turn off
canary check when compile sanity check.
The test for the EnterNamespace= feature [0] has been both broken and
disabled since the migration to the mkosi framework, as it's missing the
libdw.pc file for pkg-config, so the test is skipped completely, and
it's also missing gcc to actually build the test binary.
[0] Part of TEST-87-AUX-UTILS-VM.coredump.sh
The EnterNamespace= feature currently doesn't work if the debuginfo is
separated from the crashing binary. Until that's resolved, let's run the
test only if the test binary has embedded debuginfo (.debug_info
section; e.g. when systemd is built without WITH_DEBUG=1) or it contains
MiniDebugInfo (.gnu_debugdata section; default on Fedora and CentOS).

mode, such that it is correctly recognised as a trackball.
Note added to flag a potential issue arise with other mouse using the

Initially noted in #39230
Cockpit's podman plugin needs to know the lingering status so the UI can
advertise enabling `podman-restart` (which depends on lingering to
work). Currently it relies on watching `/var/lib/systemd/linger/${user}`
but that isn't a public API.
