Let's lock the personality to the currently set one, if nothing is
specifically specified. But do so with a grain of salt, and never
default to any exotic personality here, but only PER_LINUX or
PER_LINUX32.
Add LockPersonality boolean to allow locking down personality(2)
system call so that the execution domain can't be changed.
This may be useful to improve security because odd emulations
may be poorly tested and source of vulnerabilities, while
system services shouldn't need any weird personalities.

This helps prevent symbol collisions with other programs and libraries. In particular,
because PAM modules are loaded into the process that is creating the session, and
systemd creates PAM sessions, the potential for collisions is high.
Disambiguate all systemd calls by tagging a 'version' SD_SHARED.

`journalctl -o export | systemd-journal-remote -o /tmp/dir -`
gives the following error messages.
```
Failed to open output journal /tmp/dir: Invalid argument
Failed to get writer for source stdin: Invalid argument
Failed to create source for fd:0 (stdin): Invalid argument
```
And these are hard to understand what is the problem.
This commit makes journal-remote check whether the output file name
ends with .journal suffix or not, and if not, output error message.
This commit fixes crash described in

Multiple ExecStart lines are allowed only for oneshot services
anyway so it doesn't make sense to call service_run_next_main() with
services of type other than SERVICE_ONESHOT.
Referring back to reproducer from the issue, previously we didn't observe
this problem because s->main_command was reset after daemon-reload hence
we never reached the assert statement in service_run_next_main().
Fixes#6533
For files which are vital to boot
1. Avoid opening any window where power loss will zero them out or worse.
I know app developers all coded to the ext3 implementation, but
the only formal documentation we have says we're broken if we actually
rely on it. E.g.
* `man mount`, search for `auto_da_alloc`.
* http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubifs.html#L_atomic_change
* https://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/15/dont-fear-the-fsync/
2. If we tell the kernel we're interested in writing them to disk, it will
tell us if that fails. So at minimum, this means we play our part in
notifying the user about errors.
I refactored error-handling in `udevadm-hwdb` a little. It turns out I did
exactly the same as had already been done in the `systemd-hwdb` version,
i.e. commit d702dcd.
One of the benefits of updating a file "atomically", is to avoid losing the
old version. For example, if we run out of disk space half-way through.
Fix localed to enjoy this benefit.
This patch adds two new special character prefixes to ExecStart= and
friends, in addition to the existing "-", "@" and "+":
"!" → much like "+", except with a much reduced effect as it only
disables the actual setresuid()/setresgid()/setgroups() calls, but
leaves all other security features on, including namespace
options. This is very useful in combination with
RuntimeDirectory= or DynamicUser= and similar option, as a user
is still allocated and used for the runtime directory, but the
actual UID/GID dropping is left to the daemon process itself.
This should make RuntimeDirectory= a lot more useful for daemons
which insist on doing their own privilege dropping.
"!!" → Similar to "!", but on systems supporting ambient caps this
becomes a NOP. This makes it relatively straightforward to write
unit files that make use of ambient capabilities to let systemd
drop all privs while retaining compatibility with systems that
lack ambient caps, where priv dropping is the left to the daemon
codes themselves.
This is an alternative approach to #6564 and related PRs.
This new group lists all UID/GID credential changing syscalls (which are
quite a number these days). This will become particularly useful in a
later commit, which uses this group to optionally permit user credential
changing to daemons in case ambient capabilities are not available.
These booleans simply store whether selinux/apparmor/smack are supposed
ot be used, and chache the various mac_xyz_use() calls before we
transition into the namespace, hence let's use the same verb for the
variables and the functions: "use"
Let's merge three if blocks that shall only run when sandboxing is applied
into one.
Note that this changes behaviour in one corner case: PrivateUsers=1 is
now honours both PermissionsStartOnly= and the "+" modifier in
ExecStart=, and not just the former, as before. This was an oversight,
so let's fix this now, at a point in time the option isn't used much
yet.
"Permissions" was a bit of a misnomer, as it suggests that UNIX file
permission bits are adjusted, which aren't really changed here. Instead,
this is about UNIX credentials such as users or groups, as well as
namespacing, hence let's use a more generic term here, without any
misleading reference to UNIX file permissions: "sandboxing", which shall
refer to all kinds of sandboxing technologies, including UID/GID
dropping, selinux relabelling, namespacing, seccomp, and so on.
