There might be (embedded) systems that get never updated (things like
e.g. entertainment systems of trains, for example) and where the adjustment of
the system clock (introduced by b10abe4bba) would
do the wrong thing even if the difference between the systemd build time and
the rtc is 15 years or more.
This patch allows disabling the adjustment by setting
'clock-valid-range-usec-max' meson option to 0 or to a negative value.
Let's no bother with reading return value of libselinux API calls into
r, if the actual error is in errno anyway.
Let's remove one unnecessary strdup()
Let's rename a return parameter ret_xyz
History of the function:
96788d2aa4 assume system is running on AC power when no battery found
795e86b4f1 ignore USB-C ports in power source mode when detecting system is running on AC power
c19a51bec4 invert ac_power() source type check
6d89003462 assume ac when /sys/class/power_supply is missing
240dbaa44f add ConditionACPower=
Interestingly, the return condition 'on_ac_power == found_online || !found_offline'
was there from the very beginning, and even Yu's latest change doesn't change this,
but only extends it to 'on_ac_power == found_online || !found_offline || !found_battery'.
This means that any system with no AC power supply will be unconditionally classified
as on_ac_power.
Let's change the logic: if we have an online AC supply, answer is "yes". If no
supplies, but we have a battery, answer is "no". Otherwise, assume "yes", based
on the assumption that presense of a battery would at least be always reported,
even if an AC power supply might not be.
Fixes#24407. It also shouldn't impact previous fixes: assume ac when
/sys/class/power_supply is missing, ignore USB-C ports in power source mode,
assume system is running on AC power when no battery found.
prefix_roota() is something we should stop using. It is bad for three
reasons:
1. As it names suggests it's supposed to be used when working relative
to some root directory, but given it doesn't follow symlinks (and
instead just stupidly joins paths) it is not a good choice for that.
2. More often than not it is currently used with inputs under control of
the user, and that is icky given it typically allocates memory on the
stack.
3. It's a redundant interface, where chase_symlinks() and path_join()
already exist as better, safer interfaces.
Hence, let's start moving things from prefix_roota() to path_join() for
the cases where that's appropriate.
Add a new tpm2_parse_pcr_argument() helper that unifies how we merge PCR
masks in a single function, we can use all over the place. Previously we
had basically the same code for this at 4 places.
Follow-up for 4c733d3046.
Finding a suitable limit that would fit any use cases out there is pretty hard
and since /dev is only writeable by root anyway, let's simply drop the limit.
Acquiring random data from the TPM is not precisely quick, let's speed
things up by doing this at most once per boot. For that, let's maintain
a flag file in /run/.
Previously, true by validate() means several configs are outdated and we
need to reload configs. That's not intuitive for me. Let's rename the
functions.
E.g. Documentation or Markers could apply to any unit type. This already worked
partially, because a direct dbus call could be made:
After rebuild with the patch, but before the manager has been restarted:
$ build/systemctl --user set-property dev-zram0.swap Markers=+needs-restart
$ build/systemctl --user show -p Markers dev-zram0.swap
Markers=needs-restart
I noticed that that the rpm unit restart helper was throwing errors for target
units. We should just let the Markers be set for those too, even if it doesn't
do anything in the end. This way we don't need to special-case by unit type.
TPM2 knows two types of policy sessions: "real" ones and "trial" ones. The
latter allow you to calculate a policy hash without this enforcing any
policy, which the former do. Typically you want to use the "trial" ones
when enrolling, and you have to use the "real" ones for unlocking. So
far we used "real" ones for both cases. Which works fine – as long as
the policy put together matches the current reality (e.g. the PCR values
included in the policy are the ones currently in place in the TPM).
Let's switch to using trial sessions for enrolling. First of all this is
preparation for later work to implement further policy extensions (for
example, policies binding to literally specified PCR values, instead of
the once currently measured). But from my perspective more importantly
it actually is cleaner, as it communicates more clearly what we are
actually doing here.
No user-visible change in behaviour.
When an extension image has binaries they should match the host
architecture. Currently there is no way to specify this requirement.
Introduce an ARCHITECTURE field in the extension's release file that
may be set to prevent loading on the wrong host architecture.
Since this new field is introduced late, we don't want to make
specifying it mandatory as it would break existing sysext images.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/24061
A sysext image that merely contains static binaries has no dependency
on the host distribution and should be able to be used anywhere.
Support the special '_any' value for the ID field in the extension to
opt-out of ID and VERSION_ID/SYSEXT_LEVEL matching.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/24061
Devicetree firmware contains an "aliases" node, containing various
aliases for devices described by the firmware. For ethernet devices,
these are named "ethernet0", "ethernet1", etc. They provide a convenient
means of numbering ethernet devices, especially on systems with no other
stable number other than the address. In particular, U-Boot already uses
these aliases to name its ethernet devices.
Previously, there have been attempts (such as [1]) to add support for
these aliases to Linux. However, these patches have been rejected
because it is the maintainers' view that naming policy be left to
userspace. Well, systemd is userspace, so here we are.
In terms of implementation, apparently there can be multiple device
trees at once. I have decided to dodge this problem for now, and just
use /proc/device-tree. If it is desired to support multiple device trees
later, then the scheme can be modified to include the device tree's
index. For example, /sys/firmware/devicetree/base2/aliases/ethernet3
might be named enb2d3.
For the moment we only support "ethernetX" aliases. Future patches might
want to also handle "canX" and "wifiX".
It is common on boards with only one ethernet device to use an alias of
just "ethernet". In this case, the index is an implicit 0. In case the
author of the firmware made a mistake, we check to ensure that aliases
of "ethernet" and "ethernet0" do not both exist.

When deploying an image using systemd-repart and systemd-growfs one
should have the image expanded entirely and ready to use after the first
boot. This ensures that growfs does not occur before repart, thus
requiring a second boot.
