This reverts commit cb96a2c69a.
It is not a mistake to pass args when -b is specified. They will simply
be passed on to the container's init.
The manpage needs fixing, that's true.
systemd-nspawn will now print the PID of the child.
An example showing how to enter the container is added
to the man page.
Support for nsenter without an explicit command was
added in https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/5758069
(post v2.22.2). So this example requires both a new kernel
and the latest util-linux.
stdout can be redirected to a regular file. Regular files don't support epoll.
nspawn failed with: "Failed to register fds in epoll: Operation not permitted".
If stdout does not support epoll, assume it's always writable.
Due to the brokeness of much of the userspace audit code we cannot
really start too many systems without the audit caps set. To make nspawn
easier to use just add the audit caps by default.
To boot up containers successfully the kernel's auditing needs to be
turned off still (use "audit=0" on the kernel command line), but at
least no manual caps have to be passed anymore.
In the long run auditing will be fixed for containers and ve virtualized
properly at which time it should be safe to enable these caps anyway.
Most things seem to function fine without /dev/shm, but it is expected
to be there (quoting linux/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt:
glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for POSIX
shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink)).
Since /tmp/ is already mounted as tmpfs, it would be enough to mkdir
/tmp/shm and chmod it. Mounting it separately has the advantage that
it can be easily remounted to change the quota.
This creates /dev/fd, /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, /dev/stderr, and
/dev/core as symlinks to /proc on container creation. Except for
/dev/core, these are needed for shells like bash to be fully functional.
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
This also ensures that caps dropped from the bounding set are also
dropped from the inheritable set, to be extra-secure. Usually that should
change very little though as the inheritable set is empty for all our uses
anyway.
