Philip Withnall 2d201a107b sysupdate: Add basic varlink interface scaffolding
This adds the scaffolding for being able to call sysupdate via varlink,
but it doesn’t yet define or implement any methods. Those will come in
following commits.

The existing `systemd-sysupdate.service` and `systemd-sysupdate.timer`
(which periodically ran `systemd-sysupdate update`) have been renamed
to `systemd-sysupdate-update.{service,timer}` to make way for a new
`systemd-sysupdate@.service` and `systemd-sysupdate.socket` file to
handle varlink activation.

Compatibility symlinks have been added for them.

Paul Meyer f3818538fa report: add systemd-report-sign-tsm backend
A report signing backend that returns a confidential-computing
attestation report obtained via configfs-tsm. Implements
io.systemd.Report.Signer.Sign(): embeds the digest as the report's
inblob and returns the outblob (plus provider and any aux/manifest
blobs). Wired up as the "tsm" mechanism with a socket-activated service.

Lennart Poettering 8e880e3b61 hostnamed: allow setting machine tags via udev rules (#42390)
This gives hostnamed a lot of love, and makes it possibly to "auto-tag"
a machine via a udev rule.

It builds on the machine tag concept added in v261.

Lennart Poettering 432f54118d units: add systemd-machine-tag@.service template
Add a service template that adds the machine tag given as its instance
name to the host's machine tags. Whenever an instance is pulled in, the
tag is added; the operation is idempotent.

It talks to hostnamed over Varlink (which is socket-activated), so it
works very early at boot, before the system bus is up. It is ordered
after local-fs.target so that /etc/machine-info can be written, requires
hostnamed's socket and the local filesystems to be available, and does
not run in the initrd.

Lennart Poettering e32209c69c pcrextend: add support for measuring a user record, to be executed on first login of the user
This is supposed to be useful to mark an interactive user login as a
"break glass" event in the measurement logs, i.e. as in many typically
headless scenerios this indicates debug access or similar.

Lennart Poettering 4002a7e8be storage: add 'storagectl' command-line tool
CLI for inspecting and using storage providers. Scans
/run/systemd/io.systemd.StorageProvider/ (or the user-mode equivalent)
for AF_UNIX sockets and talks to each one over Varlink. Verbs:
"volumes" lists volumes across all providers, "templates" lists
supported creation templates, "providers" lists the endpoints
themselves.

Also installed as a mount.storage helper, so
'mount -t storage PROVIDER:VOLUME /mnt' (or 'mount -t storage.<fstype>'
to put a fresh filesystem on a block volume) acquires the volume and
mounts it. Ships with bash/zsh completions and a man page.

Lennart Poettering 9825195c25 storage: add systemd-storage-fs@.service provider
Second StorageProvider implementation, exposing regular files and
directories from a backing filesystem. In system mode the backing
directory is /var/lib/storage/, in user mode $XDG_STATE_HOME/storage/;
entries with a .volume suffix are exposed, with the inode type
determining whether the volume is reported as reg, dir or (via
symlinked/bind-mounted device node) blk.

Unlike the block provider, this one supports creating volumes
on-demand from a small set of built-in templates: sparse-file,
allocated-file, directory and subvolume.
2026-04-29 12:25:47 +02:00
Lennart Poettering 4fd0df2a4b storage: add systemd-storage-block@.service provider
First implementation of io.systemd.StorageProvider, exposing all block
devices known to udev (disks, partitions, dm nodes, …) as volumes of
type "blk". Names are picked from stable /dev/mapper and /dev/disk/by-*
symlinks; content-derived identifiers (by-uuid, by-label, …) are
intentionally avoided for security. Volume creation is not supported by
this backend.

Socket-activated via /run/systemd/io.systemd.StorageProvider/block.
Also adds shared storage-util.[ch] (VolumeType / CreateMode helpers)
that subsequent providers reuse.

Vitaly Kuznetsov c70b17daad sysext: provide systemd-{sysext,confext}-sysroot.service services
The new services are used to activate system and configuration extensions
for the main system from the initrd, this allows to overcome the limitation
that sysext/confext cannot be used to update the resources which are required
in the earliest boot of the system (before systemd-sysext/systemd-confext
start).

Lennart Poettering 7c27f9f594 pcrextend: measure another separator at boot
This has been requested previously for PCR 7 (#40567), but let's do that
for all firmware owned PCRs, since some firmwares forget to measure
their own separator. Let's hence measure our own guranteed one.

Lennart Poettering 056c21aaeb tpm2: add "systemd-tpm2-swtpm" wrapper for "swtpm"
For TPM-less systems it's sometimes valuable to have a fill-in software
TPM running from early boot on, so that TPM-based functionality can
"just work" and rely on TPM semantics, even if it's at a substantially
weaker security level.

This adds a wrapper around swtpm. It's a binary that chainloads swtpm
but does a few preparatory steps and integrates into systemd's logic
otherwise.

All this is then exposed as systemd-tpm2-swtpm.service.

The service is not hooked into much yet, that is added in later commits.

Lennart Poettering 168a7f7770 imds: add generator that hooks in IMDS logic on cloud guests
The infrastructure added in the previous commits added support for IMDS
client functionality, but didn't really to enable the logic by default
on suitable hosts.

This commit adds a generator that automatically hooks the IMDS
functionality into the boot process if it detects that the system is
running on a compliant cloud system. it enables both the imds daemon and
the client.

Lennart Poettering 1228660400 imds: add "systemd-imds" tool that is a simple client to "systemd-imdsd"
This is a client tool to the systemd-imdsd@.service added in the
previous commit. It's mostly just a 1:1 IPC client via Varlink. It can
be used to query any IMDS key, but it's primary usecase is to acquire
the "userdata" from IMDS. Moreover, if invoked with the --import switch
it will check if the userdata contains a list of system credentials. If
so, it will import them into the local credstore. If the userdata does
not look like a list of system credentials no operation is executed,
under the assumption the data is intended for cloud-init instead.

It also imports a couple of other fields, if available and recogniuzed,
such as SSH keys and the hostname.

Lennart Poettering eb6e5b07f1 imds: add new systemd-imdsd.service that makes IMDS data accessible locally
This service's job is to talk to a VM associated IMDS service provided
by the local Cloud. It tries to abstract the protocol differences
various IMDS implementations implement, but does *not* really try to
abstract more than a few basic fields of the actual IMDS metadata.

IMDS access is wrapped in a Varlink API that local clients can talk to.

If possible this makes use of the IMDS endpoint information that has
been added to hwdb in the preceeding commit. However, endpoint info can
also be provided via kernel command line and credentials. For debugging
purposes we also accept them via environment variables and command line
arguments.

This adds a concept of early-boot networking, just enough to be able to
talk to the IMDS service. It is minimally configurable via a kernel
cmdline option (and a build-time option): the user may choose between
"locked" and "unlocked" mode. In the former mode direct access to IMDS via
HTTPS is blocked via a prohibit route (and thus all IMDS communication
has to be done via systemd-imdsd@.service). In the latter case no such
lockdown takes place, and IMDS may be acquired both via this new service
and directly. The latter is typically a good idea for compatibility with
current systems, the former is preferable for secure installations.

Access to IMDS fields is controlled via PK.

Lennart Poettering 0718a21c13 resolved: add ability to define additional local RRs via drop-ins

concept is open for more).

Lennart Poettering 2c74a91cb8 sd-json: when parsing optionally insist top-level variant is object or array
Typically, the top-level JSON object has to be an object, in any json
document we parse, hence let's add a simple way to enforce that.

Make use of this in various places.

(Note, various other JSON parsers insist on this logic right from the
beginning, but I actually thinking making this insisting optional like
this patch does it is the cleaner approach)

Lennart Poettering 867e64737a units: measure a separator event into PCR 9 after completing NvPCR initialization
We do this in a separate service (rather than inside of
systemd-tpm2-setup), since we want failures of this measurement to
result in an instant reboot, like for most our measurements.

Failures to initialize nvpcrs, or allocate an SRK are somewhat OK (and
more likely), as long as this separator communicates clearly where they
have to have taken place, if they worked.

Lennart Poettering ac63a04bd6 mute-console: add simple varlink service that can disable log/status spew to kernel console
For "wizard" style interactive tools it's very annoying if they are
interrupted by kernel log output or PID1's status output. let's add some
infra to disable this temporarily. I decided to implement this as an IPC
service so that we can make this robust: if the client request the
muting dies we can automatically unmute again.

This is hence a tiny varlink service, but it can also be started
directly from the cmdline.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5510a98fda systemd-sysext: introduce a global config (#38250)
This PR implements what is proposed in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/37992.

Having a global config file that supports the same cmdline options for
sysext/confext allows the user to customize the behavior of
systemd-sysext.service unit too, without the need of hacking the service
manually.

The global config will live in
`CONF_PATHS_STRV()/systemd/{sysext/confext}.conf` and it will be
overridden by cmdline, so it is possible to customize a run if
`systemd-sysext` is executed manually.

For now support `--mutable=` (`Mutable`) and `--image-policy=`
(`ImagePolicy`).

This config is an alternative to command line options, especially useful
if we want to extend the service units without modifying them.
