When services start up they might query for passwords, or issue polkit
requests. Hence it makese sense to run the password query agent and
polkit agent from systemd-run. We already ran the polkit agent, this
also ensures we run the password query agent.
There's one tweak to the story though: running the agents and the pty
forwarder concurrently is messy, since they both try to read from stdin
(one potentially, the other definitely). Hence, let's time the agents
properly: invoke them when we initialize, but stop them once the start
job for the unit we are supposed to run is complete, and only then run
the pty forwarder.
With this in place, the following series of commands starts to work
really nicely (which previously deadlocked):
# homectl create foobar
# run0 -u foobar
What happens in the background in run0 is this: a new session is invoked
for "foobar", which pulls in the user@.service instance for the user.
That user@.service instance will need to unlock the homedir first. Since
8af1b296cb this will happen via the askpw
logic. With this commit here this prompt will now be shown by run0. Once
the password is entered the directory is unlocked and the real session
begins. Nice!
This new behaviour is conditioned behind --pty-late (distinct from the
existing --pty switches). For systemd-run we will never enable this mode
by default, for compat with command lines that use ExecStartPre=
(because we won't process the pty anymore during that command) For
run0 however this changes the default to --pty-late (unless
--no-ask-password is specified). This reflects the fact that run0 is
more of an interctive tool and unlikely to be used in more complex
service start-up situations with ExecStartPre= and suchlike.
This also merges JobDoneContext into RunContext, since it doesn't really
make sense to have two contexts around to communicate between outer
stack frame and event handlers. Let's just have one, and pass it around
to all handlers the same way. In particular as we should delay exit only
until both the unit's job is complete *and* in case of --wait the unit
is exited, one of the two should not suffice.
This introduces a bunch of facilities:
1. The factory-reset.target unit that requests a factory reset is now
complemented by factory-reset-now.target that executes it at next
boot.
2. This latter is added to the initial transaction via the new trivial
systemd-factory-reset-generator.
3. A tool systemd-factory-reset has been added to query, request,
cancel, complete factory reset operations (via EFI variables). Two of
these are wrapped into units that are plugged into
factory-reset.target and factory-reset-now.target respectively. The
tool also provides a simple Varlink API.
This should make things a lot cleaner, and both be useful as explicit
implementation on UEFI, and as template + hookpoints for alternative
implementations on non-UEFI.
It's sometimes very useful to be able to terminate a container quickly
but cleanly while talking to it. Introduce a hotkey for that: ^]^]p for
powering it off. In similar style add ^]^]r for rebooting it.
This reverts commit b6a2df6307.
The functionality is entirely redundant, we already have
sd_json_variant_filter() which does the same, and is in fact even more
powerful, since it takes a list instead of a single field to remove.
This delegates one or more namespaces to the service. Concretely,
this setting influences in which order we unshare namespaces. Delegated
namespaces are unshared *after* the user namespace is unshared. Other
namespaces are unshared *before* the user namespace is unshared.
Fixes#35369
In 2cc58b6c8a and related we established
rules on naming certs/public-keys/private-keys:
*-public-key.pem
*-private-key.pem
*-certificate.pem
Let's follow that naming in repart's man page too.
Let's move pam_systemd_home before pam_unix in the authentication hook.
Since a while we are exposing shadow entries for homed log entries via
NSS. This means that pam_unix now potentially has enough data for
authenticating a user on its own, without letting pam_systemd_home do
that. This is superficially OK, but also means that authentication will
always go via password, even if pkcs11/fido2 is registered.
Let's move this around, but be careful about it: let's list the precise
errors which we think are enough to terminating further PAM processing,
so that pam_unix comes into control in all cases where it's not clear
that pam_systemd_home owns the user record.
This previously wasn't visible to me, because on Fedora until authselect
1.5.1 (released earleir this year) the NSS shadow stuff was not enabled.
This does the same also for the "account" stack, except that the order
there already was as we want it.
Finally, shorten the account stack, by just requiring pam_unix.so and
dropping pam_permit.so, because it doesn't really serve much purpose
(and Fedora doesn't use it by default either.)
This has been depracted since v254 (2023). Let's kill it for
good now, it has been long enough with 2y. Noone has shown up who wants
to keep it. And given it doesn't work in SB world anyway, and is not
measured is quite problematic security wise.
Expose /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_asset_tag in varlink/dbus commonly used
by companies to track inventory such as laptops.
On desktops and other products the `chassis_asset_tag` can contain
rubbish similar to product_name/product_vendor.
Closes: #36442
Let's make the three subsystems more alike, and add remote-*setup.traget
for all three, enable them all three in the presets, and make them
behave in a similar fashion.
Add verb that takes a PKCS#1 signature (plain rsa) as input and a
certificates, and outputs a PKCS#7 binary detached signature (p7s),
which is what the kernel dm-verity driver expects.

With this we can now do:
systemd-vmspawn -n -i foobar.raw -s io.systemd.boot.entries-extra:particleos-current.conf=$'title ParticleOS Current\nuki-url http://example.com/somedir/uki.efi'
Assuming sd-boot is available inside the ESP of foobar.raw a new item
will show up in the boot menu that allows booting directly into the
specified UKI.
So far the gpt-auto logic only looked for the partition table of devices
that the ESP/XBOOTLDR partition used to boot was on. This works great
for local boots, but is more problematic if we boot a UKI via UEFI HTTP
boot, because there is no ESP in play in that case.
Let's introduce an alternative to communicate the intended default root
disk to cover for this situation: any loopback block device whose
backing file field (i.e. the userspace controlled freeform field we use
for /dev/disk/by-loop-ref/ naming) is set to "rootdisk" will be consider
for gpt-auto will be consider for gpt-auto.
With this in place we should have nice automatic behaviour:
1. If we are booted locally we'll get the ESP/XBOOTLDR data, and derive
the root disk from that.
2. If we are booted via UEFI HTTP boot we expect that the caller makes
the loopback device appear with the right loop-ref identifier, and
then will use that.
This is useful for bind mounting a freshly downloaded and unpacked tar
disk images to /sysroot to mount into.
Specifically, with a kernel command line like this one:
rd.systemd.pull=verify=no,machine,tar:root:http://_gateway:8081/image.tar root=bind:/run/machines/root ip=any
The first parameter downloads the root image, the second one then binds
it to /sysroot so that we can boot into it.
This is useful in particular in the initrd, as this ensures any
downloaded images are not deleted during the initrd→host transition
(where /var/ does not survive, but /run/ does). Might be useful in other
cases too, for example for transiently deployed confexts and such.
This is useful for booting from a freshly downloaded disk image: just
specify
rd.systemd.pull=verify=no,machine,blockdev,raw:image:https://192.168.100.1:8081/image.raw
root=/dev/disk/by-loop-ref/image.raw-part2
on the kernel command line, and we'll download that in the initrd and boot from it.
(note the above disables download-time verification, putting trust in
verity and image policy that this won#t do harm)
Here's a more complete example. From a git checkout do:
ninja -C build && mkosi -f -T serve
and then from another terminal do within the same checkout:
./build/systemd-vmspawn \
--ram=16G \
--register=no \
-n \
-i ./build/mkosi.output/image.raw \
rd.systemd.pull=verify=no,machine,blockdev,raw:image:http://192.168.100.1:8081/image.raw \
root=/dev/disk/by-loop-ref/image.raw-part2 \
rootflags=x-systemd.device-timeout=infinity \
ip=any
This will then boot via the ESP of the specified image, then download
the image via HTTP from the mkosi instance running in the first
terminal, attach it to a loopback block device, and then use its second
partition as root fs, and boot into it.
(this assumes your host is 192.168.100.1, of course)
Note that downloading the full image takes a bit of time (this downloads
it uncompressed after all), hence we turn off the timeout to wait for
the device.
This also introduces a new "imports.target" unit (and associated
"imports-pre.target") between imports are grouped, and which ensure the
imports actually are ordered correctly both on the host and in the
initrd.
This is mostly just a friendly unit wrapper around "systemd-dissect
--attach".
This is useful so that we can automatically attach disk images as
block device at boot.
This started out as a simple attempt to fix a race in an existing test
case for io.systemd.Machine.Open(). To address it nicely I added some
machinery to varlinkctl and systemd-notify though, and because of that I
refacting reception of sd_notify() messages in various places of our
codebase. So it became much much bigger.
This ports all receivers of sd_notify() messages over to a new common
implementation, except for one: the one in PID1. It's more powerful than
the others, since it accepts fds too. I think we should generalize
notify_recv() to cover that too, it's not that much more work, but for
now I didn't want to add even more refactorings on top, and this can
easily happen later separately, hence I left it out for now.
While this is obvious if you spend a few minutes thinking about how
D-Bus signals work (in this case, they are broadcast from a system
service, so cannot apply to a specific user/session/seat), it’s a bit
easy to overlook this while putting code together which uses the login1
D-Bus API, so it’s helpful to point this hazard out specifically in the
docs.
The signals can only be emitted on the canonical objects. The
convenience objects are useful for method calls, as the calling context
can be used to dereference ‘self’ and ‘auto’, but this can’t work for
signals.

Sometimes it's interesting to condition units not just on the
installation but on the physical device. Let's make ConditionHost=
useful for that kind of checks, and while we are at it, also allow it to
be used for condition checks on the boot id.
Overloading like this is safe, since UUIDs are globally unique after
all, and hence there should be no conflicts between the namespace of
boot ids, machine ids and product ids.
Finally, relax rules on uuid checking: if the specified string parses
as uuid or id, also check it against the hostname, for setups where
people name hosts after uuids. I wouldn't know why anyone would do that,
but also, why not? shouldn'rt hurt allowing them and should not create
ambiguity conflicts.
This new switch makes it possible to process fds attached to a varlink
reply: if specified it will execute a command line specified by the
caller, will pass the response json as stdin, and any fds acquired as
fd3, fd4, …
The option that systemd actually looks for has an underscore and no dash
as can be seen in src/core/main.c.
The man/kernel-command-line.xml documentation also gets it right with
this file being the only instance of watchdog-device being used.
