Sinity 1166f4472d core/dbus: do not block the manager on GetId during bus (re-)connection
bus_init_api() issued a synchronous GetId call on every API bus
(re-)connection to decide whether saved subscription state could be
coldplugged onto the new connection.

If the D-Bus socket unit is listening while the message bus daemon
behind it is gone, connect() succeeds against the socket backlog but
nothing answers the authentication handshake. The synchronous call
then blocks PID 1 for BUS_AUTH_TIMEOUT (90 seconds by default), and
queued bus operations can trigger repeated reconnection attempts.
This was observed during shutdown as roughly 15 minutes of teardown
progressing only in 90-second intervals.

Query the instance ID asynchronously on every connection. Defer API
setup until the reply is processed, so saved subscriptions are
validated and coldplugged before new subscription requests can arrive.
If the query cannot be queued or its reply is invalid, discard the
unvalidated state and expose the API without blocking the manager.

Reset the live bus ID on every connection and serialize pending bus ID
and subscription state across reload and reexec. During daemon-reload,
preserve state that was already awaiting the asynchronous reply while
discarding the duplicate state produced by the reload itself.

Also remove the now-unused synchronous bus_get_instance_id() helper.

Yu Watanabe 661ab8b6fd tree-wide: drop DLOPEN_FOO() macros
Since 4c0d8d9673, most dlopen notes are
set at the beginning of the executables. Let's manage all dlopen notes
there, rather than setting them where dlopen is called.

Note that the only exceptions are the LIBBPF_NOTE for networkd and
nsresource. Since dlopen_bpf() is wrapped in an `#if` guard, the notes
are instead set within the corresponding functionality.

As a result, the DLOPEN_FOO() wrapper macros are no longer needed and
can be dropped completely.

Daan De Meyer 5a12005c83 copy: drop COPY_REFLINK
Reflinking is a safe optimization whenever the source and destination are
regular, seekable files on a filesystem that supports cloning. Requiring each
caller to opt in through COPY_REFLINK adds flag plumbing without changing the
necessary fallback behavior.

Drop COPY_REFLINK, renumber the remaining flags, and have copy_bytes_full()
unconditionally try FICLONE or FICLONERANGE before entering its normal copy
loop. Isolate the clone attempt and its file-offset bookkeeping in a helper so
copy_bytes_full() only has to handle its cloned, unavailable, and error results.
A successful clone therefore completes in one operation, while an unsupported
or rejected clone falls back to progress-limited copy_file_range(), sendfile(),
or buffered copying. Keep the public reflink helpers for operations that
specifically require clone semantics.

Existing test-copy coverage exercises both bounded and unbounded regular-file
copies through copy_bytes_full().

Luca Boccassi 4f397da505 process-util: introduce prctl_safe() and port everything over to it (#43006)
prctl() is an API full of pitfalls: it is variadic, and some interfaces
don't expect zero-initialization of excess arguments, and others do.
Moreover, the parameters are "long", and nonetheless we usually pass
"int" to them. If we are too dumb to call it properly, let's just not
call it directly anymore, but let's add a wrapper around it that makes
the function non-variadic and declares the right types. Then, let's port
over everything to it.

This is inspired by #42996, but we had issues with this many times,
before and looking at this PR one can see that we otherwise still are
having the issue at numerous other places.

Frantisek Sumsal 5f2d15abf4 timer: avoid re-arming WakeSystem=yes timer after suspend
There's an edge case where a single-shot timer using WakeSystem=yes
could get re-armed after elapsing. For example, when a timer is created
using:

$ systemd-run --user --on-active="1m" --timer-property=WakeSystem=yes flatpak run io.bassi.Amberol

and the system is then suspended, following sequence of events may
happen:

Jul 08 06:57:25 systemd[2640]: run-p192456-i199160.timer: Installed new job run-p192456-i199160.timer/start as 7675

Jul 08 06:58:29 systemd[2640]: run-p192456-i199160.timer: Changed running -> waiting
Jul 08 06:59:48 systemd[2640]: run-p192456-i199160.timer: Timer elapsed.

1) The timer is armed at 06:57:25. timer_enter_waiting()
   calculates following values:

   base = M0 (current CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
   usec_shift_clock(base, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM) = M0 (no delta yet)
   v->next_elapse = M0 + 60s

   The timer is on CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM at M0 + 60s

2) System suspends. If the system ran for ~12s and was suspended for
   ~36s, at resume we'd get:

   CLOCK_MONOTONIC = M0 + 12s
   CLOCK_BOOTTIME = M0 + 12s + 36s = M0 + 48s

3) timer_time_change() fires and calls timer_enter_waiting(t, true)

   Because time_change=true, v->next_elapse is not recalculated and
   keeps the original M0 + 60s value. The timer then correctly computes
   the remaining time as ~12.8 seconds:

        Jul 08 06:58:13 ...: Monotonic timer elapses in 12.785674s.

4) Timer elapses at 06:58:26

        Jul 08 06:58:26 ...: Timer elapsed.

   timer_enter_running() sets last_trigger.monotonic to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
   (which equals to M0 + 12s before suspend + 13s after suspend, thus
   + 25s)

5) Unit deactivates at 06:58:29

   timer_trigger_notify() calls timer_enter_waiting(t, false) -
   time_change=false; that means that this time v->next_elapse gets
   recalculated:

   base = inactive_exit_timestamp.monotonic = M0 (i.e. when the timer was originally armed)
   usec_shift_clock(M0, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM)
        a = now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) = M0 + 28s
        b = now(CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM) = M0 + 64s
        result = b - (a - M0) = (M0 + 64s) - 28s = M0 + 36s => the time spent in suspend

   Hence v->next_elapse = (M0 + 36s) + 60s = M0 + 96s

   This then skips disabling of one-shot timers in the following check,
   because the expression

        v->next_elapse < triple_timestamp_by_clock(&ts, TIMER_MONOTONIC_CLOCK(t))

   is false, because the v->next_elapse (M0 + 96s) is not less than the
   current time (M0 + 64s), so the timer is re-armed again:

        Jul 08 06:58:29 ...: Monotonic timer elapses in 33.544681s

Let's mitigate this by skipping the next elapse timestamp recalculations
for one-shot timers for which we've already calculated the value in this
activation cycle.

Lennart Poettering 5cead3f269 credentials: add policy that can allow key=null creds from the ESP (#42555)
This PR only sets the default to "relaxed" - I can change the default
to "tofu" if desired. But for that we will also need to update the NEWS
file to ensure everyone is aware of this new default.

---

This PR adds a new `systemd.credentials-boot=` kernel
commandline that allows to control if credentials with
a `null` key are accepted.

The possible options are:
* strict: always insist on tpm encryption
* tofu: allow null encryption in firstboot mode and when no tpm is
available
* relaxed: allow null encryption when sb is off, or no tpm is available
* off: allow null encryption always

The default is `relaxed` which is exactly the behavior we had before.

This replaces the initial idea of using plaintext credentials
at firstboot (thanks to Lennart for this nicer and simpler design).

---

With that we can drop `- firstboot: optionally accept credentials at
firstboot without authentication` from TODO.md

Yu Watanabe 4c0d8d9673 tree-wide: embed dlopen notes into individual executables
Previously, when a library was dynamically loaded via a helper function
inside libsystemd-shared.so, the resulting dlopen ELF note was not
propagated to the invoking executable's ELF metadata.

This commit explicitly annotates each executable with the relevant
dlopen ELF notes for any optional dependencies it might potentially
load. This ensures that package managers and build systems can properly
discover runtime dependencies that are triggered indirectly.

Yu Watanabe a74b3e1778 dlopen-note: move all dlopen notes to dlopen-note.h
This also switches all these notes to be defined via SD_ELF_NOTE_DLOPEN_ANCHORED().
Consequently, any notes added within unreachable or unused functions will be
automatically garbage-collected by the linker (--gc-sections) instead of
bloating the final binary.

E.g. unused p11-kit library dependency is now dropped from
systemd-repart.standalone binary.

Yu Watanabe 1f76654f94 meson: automate .standalone variant generation via extended 'install' field
Extend the 'install' keyword for executable definitions to accept four
modes—'yes', 'no', 'both', and 'static'—to elegantly manage the creation
and installation of both shared and statically-linked (.standalone) binaries.

- 'yes' / 'no': Standard behavior (mapped to true/false).
- 'both': Installs both the shared and static variants.
- 'static': Installs the static variant under the original name, while
  suffixing the uninstalled shared variant with '.shared'.

With this change, any arbitrary executable can now have its `.standalone`
variant built on demand simply by invoking `ninja <target>.standalone`.
For example, `varlinkctl` did not previously support a standalone variant,
but it can now be built explicitly via `ninja varlinkctl.standalone`.

These `.standalone` binaries are not built by default unless explicitly
specified as a ninja target or enabled via `-Dstandalone-binaries=true`.
Thus, the default build time should remain unaffected.

This centralisation eliminates a massive amount of boilerplate and duplicated
target declarations across almost all subdirectories (e.g., systemd-repart,
systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-shutdown, and systemd-report tools).

Michael Vogt eb8227c671 core: make /run/systemd/first-boot available earlier
For the new systemd.credentials_boot_policy= setting we need

But `manager_set_first_boot` is run after `initialize_runtime()`

so that the credentials_boot_policy setting can work.

Unfortunately we cannot just move manager_set_first_boot() earlier
because there is no manager yet at this point.

Frantisek Sumsal 9ae50c78cc sd-event: use CLOCK_BOOTTIME for rate limits
When a rate limit is armed, for example via StartLimitInterval=, and the
machine is suspended, the rate limit's "clock" is suspended as well,
since the elapse checks use CLOCK_MONOTONIC. This then causes unexpected
situations where a rate limit armed via StartLimitInterval=1h, followed
by a 10 hour suspend, would elapse after 11 hours total.

Let's avoid this by switching the rate limits to CLOCK_BOOTTIME, which
works the same as CLOCK_MONOTONIC, but accounts for the time spent in
suspend as well.

There's one slight concern when it comes to upgrade path - the old
"begin" value of the rate limit is stored as CLOCK_MONOTONIC, but after
upgrading systemd and serializing/deserializing the state it will be
suddenly compared against now(CLOCK_BOOTTIME), which might cause some
rate limits to elapse "prematurely". But this is just a one-time thing,
after which the rate limit timers should re-assess themselves.

Lars Sjöstrom 231fddc337 core: support stdio fd passing in io.systemd.Unit.StartTransient
Add StandardInputFileDescriptor, StandardOutputFileDescriptor and
StandardErrorFileDescriptor to the Service context of the Varlink
StartTransient() method. Each carries the push-order index of a file descriptor
passed along with the method call (via SCM_RIGHTS), and connects it to the
transient service's standard input/output/error. This is the Varlink equivalent
of the StandardInputFileDescriptor= / StandardOutputFileDescriptor= /
StandardErrorFileDescriptor= D-Bus transient properties behind
"systemd-run --pipe", which had no Varlink counterpart.

The manager Varlink server now enables SD_VARLINK_SERVER_ALLOW_FD_PASSING_INPUT
so clients may attach descriptors to their method calls, matching other
fd-accepting Varlink services (mountfsd, networkd, vmspawn, ...). The indices are
resolved with sd_varlink_peek_dup_fd() after the polkit authorization check and
stored on the Service exactly like the D-Bus path
(bus_set_transient_exec_context_fd()): the fds land in stdin_fd/stdout_fd/
stderr_fd and exec_context.stdio_as_fds is set, so the existing exec-invoke
plumbing wires them to the spawned process unchanged. Unsuitable fds (bad
index, wrong access mode) are rejected as InvalidParameter, other resolution
failures propagate as raw errnos.

Add coverage to TEST-74-AUX-UTILS.varlinkctl-unit.sh, passing regular files as
the stdout/stderr fds and asserting the unit's output lands on them.

This makes each `foo_cflags` dependency define a `SYSTEMD_CFLAGS_MARKER_FOO`

Yu Watanabe 0d06dbabc3 include: do not override kernel headers with libaudit headers
Overriding <linux/audit.h> to implicitly include <libaudit.h> turns out to
be problematic. Because <linux/audit.h> is pulled in by various other kernel
headers, any source file including those kernel headers indirectly ends up
depending on <libaudit.h>, even if the executable or library being built
does not require libaudit at all.

Let's drop the override header and include <libaudit.h> only where explicitly
needed. This also moves the fallback definitions of AUDIT_SERVICE_* and
MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH to libaudit-util.h.

(e.g. Thu) that does not match, the timer silently never elapses.

Add calendar_spec_from_string_full(..., warn_on_weekday_mismatch) so
user-facing tools can opt in to a log_warning() at parse time:
- systemd-analyze calendar: uses _full(true)
- systemd-run --on-calendar: uses _full(true)
- .timer OnCalendar=: uses log_syntax() with file/line context

Add test_calendar_spec_weekday_conflict(): forks a child with stderr
captured in a memfd via pidref_safe_fork_full(), verifies the warning
is emitted for conflicting specs and suppressed for valid ones.

Fixes: #40350

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 9edf0e839f manager: fall back to direct reboot() if shutdown binary is missing
When PID 1 reaches the shutdown phase, if systemd-shutdown was missing,
it'd complain loudly and freeze. Implement an internal fallback to
handle this case gracefully. The fallback is always in place, since it
makes things generally more robust and is only a little bit of code.

This shutdown is simplified, systemd issues the reboot() matching the
requested objective directly, mirroring what systemd-shutdown would do
as its final step. This skips all the cleanup systemd-shutdown normally
performs (unmounting file systems, detaching storage, killing remaining
processes, switching into the exitrd).

With SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug:
...
[  OK  ] Reached target poweroff.target.
Notify message sent to '/run/host/notify': "X_SYSTEMD_UNIT_ACTIVE=poweroff.target"
Shutting down.
OSC sequence for shutdown successfully written: ...
Failed to execute shutdown binary: No such file or directory
Powering off.
Container container has been shut down.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 83e4074af1 manager: use reboot.target as the default for ctrl-alt-del.target
systemd tries to start ctrl-alt-del.target after receiving a request
to reboot in a container (or when ctrl-alt-del is pressed on a real
machine). If the alias is missing, this will fail. Let's provide a
fallback for this too. I don't think it makes sense to make it
configurable: it seems almost everybody is fine with the default
mapping. If not, people can always just create the symlink in the
filesystem.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 7bff0f09fe core: let manager_load_startable_unit_or_warn take a log level
Add a log_level parameter so callers can control the severity of load
failures. During boot, when no unit was explicitly requested on the
kernel command line (arg_default_unit is unset), failing to load the
default unit is not fatal since we fall back to other targets, so log
those attempts at LOG_INFO instead of LOG_ERR. All other callers pass
LOG_ERR to keep their existing behaviour.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek a0146fe807 core: embed essential units as built-in fallbacks
Compile the contents of a few essential target unit files
(graphical.target, multi-user.target, rescue.target, etc.) into the
manager binary, with comments stripped, and fall back to those built-in
copies when no fragment is found on disk. This lets the manager reach a
usable state even on a system that ships none of these unit files, e.g.
in minimal environments or one-off chroots.

On-disk files always take precedence (masks included), as the fallback is
only consulted when nothing is found in the lookup paths. The unit file
list is defined in units/meson.build and embedded via a small generator
script; 'units' is now processed before 'src/core' so the list is
available there.

The set of units and services is selected that should allow for a normal
operation of starting/stopping/restarting, of the machine. The services
all use SuccessAction=…, so they don't require any binaries to be
installed.

sigpwr.target is included, even though it doesn't do anything useful.
The same is true in normal installations. We might want to change it
do something useful there too.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek a809b6e565 core: add fallback-default-target build option
Add a 'fallback-default-target' meson option that configures which unit
to activate when default.target is not installed. This makes things more
resilient in general and is also useful for minimal/statically-linked
installations that may not ship a default.target symlink.

'graphical.target' is used as the default value of the setting, because
that's what we symlink as default.target in units/meson.build.

In the initrd, we had a fallback to start default.target if initrd.target
cannot be started. This fallback is changed to only do that if it is
not found, not on other errors. This seems more correct (and makes
the two fallbacks symmetrical.)

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek fcb2c6c259 meson: replace -Dbuild-executor-shared=single with -Dsystemd-multicall-binary=true
This effectively reverts the meson config changes introduced in
0c6186695a. I wasn't happy with that form
back when it was commited, and in hindsight, I like it even less. Let's
just add a new option that hopefully is easier to understand and will
work better when new functionality is added in the future.

Now there are two options:
link-executor-shared (boolean, defaults to true)
  — "link (separate) systemd-executor to libsystemd-shared.so and libsystemd-core.so"
systemd-multicall-binary (also boolean, defaults to false)
  — "link systemd+systemd-executor as a single binary"

Build directories will need to be recreated again, sorry!

The inner map is created with a uint32_t key, but the update passed
&magic[i] where magic is a (possibly 64-bit) statfs_f_type_t. On
little-endian the low 32 bits happen to be read; on big-endian 64-bit
(s390x, ppc64 BE) the zero high word is read instead, so every
filesystem collides on key 0 (the allow/deny selector) and
RestrictFileSystems= is silently broken. Pass a truncated copy.

While a delegated scope waits for the async cgroup chown helper it sits
in SCOPE_START_CHOWN (UNIT_ACTIVATING). unit_start() forwards to
->start() while activating, so scope_start() could be re-entered in
that state and trip assert(s->state == SCOPE_DEAD), aborting PID 1.
Treat SCOPE_START_CHOWN as already-starting instead.

Michael Vogt ab344eb750 core: add absolute-path properties to varlink StartTransient
Similar to PR#42360 this commit adds missing properties for
absolute path handling in io.systemd.Unit.StartTransient for
the `Exec` context and a macro helper to share the common code.

The properties added are:
IPCNamespacePath, NetworkNamespacePath, RootDirectory, RootHashPath,
RootHashSignaturePath, RootImage, RootVerity, UserNamespacePath,
RootMStack.

Note that RootHashPath, RootHashSignaturePath need custom apply
functions because the varlink name "RootHashPath" differs from the
name that needs to be written into the unit file ("RootHash=")
and the iovec must be cleared.

Paul Meyer 4dd73ad924 core: trust SMBIOS credentials under Intel TDX
SMBIOS OEM strings are host-controlled and normally distrusted by PID1
in confidential VMs. Under TDX, however, the SMBIOS table (including
Type 11) is measured into RTMR0 by the firmware (TDVF), so a remote
verifier can detect host tampering with credentials delivered this
way. Accept them there, while keeping fw_cfg distrusted as those
items are not measured even on TDX.

This lets systemd-vmspawn deliver credentials to TDX guests via the
normal SMBIOS path, unlike SNP which requires the initrd cpio channel.

and move them into the PREVIOUS_SHUTDOWN_* fields on deserialization.

Also reset local timestamps for events that rerun (eg: generators,
