Some configuration files that need updates are directly under in /etc. To
update them atomically, we need write access to /etc. For Ubuntu Core this is
an issue as /etc is not writable. Only a selection of subdirectories can be
writable. The general solution is symlinks or bind mounts to writable places.
But for atomic writes in /etc, that does not work. So Ubuntu has had a patch
for that that did not age well.
Instead we would like to introduce some environment variables for alternate
paths.
* SYSTEMD_ETC_HOSTNAME: /etc/hostname
* SYSTEMD_ETC_MACHINE_INFO: /etc/machine-info
* SYSTEMD_ETC_LOCALTIME: /etc/localtime
* SYSTEMD_ETC_LOCALE_CONF: /etc/locale.conf
* SYSTEMD_ETC_VCONSOLE_CONF: /etc/vconsole.conf
* SYSTEMD_ETC_ADJTIME: /etc/adjtime
While it is for now expected that there is a symlink from the standard, we
still try to read them from that alternate path. This is important for
`/etc/localtime`, which is a symlink, so we cannot have an indirect symlink or
bind mount for it.
Since machine-id is typically written only once and not updated. This commit
does not cover it. An initrd can properly create it and bind mount it.
constants.h defines a bunch of constants that use macros from
time-util.h, so add the needed include. To avoid cyclic dependencies,
we move the HAS_FEATURE_MEMORY_SANITIZER and HAS_FEATURE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER
logic to macro.h and get rid of the constants.h include there.
The rest of this commit is adding missing constants.h includes where
needed due to it being removed from macro.h.
Let's move some logic from _DEFINE_MAIN_FUNCTION() and other places
in main-func.h into functions that we implement in main-func.c to
allow moving some included headers from the header to the .c file.
Currently, NOTIFY_READY from daemon-util.h conflicts with NOTIFY_READY
from NotifyState from service.h so let's rename the constants to avoid
the conflict.
Additionally, using the log context makes sure the extra fields are
applied to all log messages generated while the context is in place,
rather than only log messages logged with log_unit_xxx() in timedated
itself.
It also means the unit name is prefixed to all log messages logged
within that context. While it's not clear whether we always want the
unit name to be attached to library log messages, we also don't want
the unit name to not be attached to any library log messages, so we opt
to add more rather than less information by adding the unit name everywhere
for now.
In the future we can look into some log.h helpers to enable/disable
adding the prefix to the following log messages or not.
Now that the necessary functions from log.h have been moved to macro.h,
we can stop including log.h in macro.h. This requires modifying source
files all over the tree to include log.h instead.
This introduce LOG_ITEM() macro that checks arbitrary formats in
log_struct().
Then, drop _printf_ attribute from log_struct_internal(), as it does not
help so much, and compiler checked only the first format string.
Hopefully, this silences false-positive warnings by Coverity.
When the user/customer sets the time on the system which is prior
than that of the systemd build time, as systemd doesn't allow time
before it's build date after a reboot, systemd is resetting it but
there is no error or exception present in the setTime method due
to which user/customer is unaware of why the time is reset back to
the systemd-build time.
Added a condition check in the set_time() method to return an
error when tried to set time past the systemd build date.
Tested: Verified that it throws an error when we try to set the
time prior to systemd build date.

Given that we have the LabelOps abstraction these days, we can teach
write_string_file() to use it, which means we can get rid of
fileio-label.[ch] as a separate concept.
(The only reason that fileio-label.[ch] exists independently of
fileio.[ch] was that the former linekd to libselinux potentially, and
thus had to be in src/shared/ while the other always was in src/basic/.
But the LabelOps vtable provides us with a nice work-around)
We typically want to deal in usec_t, hence let's change the prototype
accordingly, and do proper range checks. Also, make sure are not
confused by negative times.
Do something similar for mktime_or_timegm().
This is a more comprehensive alternative to #34065
Replaces: #34065
Previously only running `timedatectl` it was showing warning regarding the dangers of setting RTC to local TZ.
Now similar warning is also flashed when `set-local-rtc 1`.
The method returns prematurely (before jobs it triggers terminate). This
is externally visible because other methods may fail if jobs did not
finish.
Postpone the DBus method response until we collect all signals for
finished jobs.
systemd-timedated keeps track of in-flight DBus requests and answers
them all in unspecified order when jobs finish. The capacity of requests
in systemd-timedated is limited.
Fixes: #17739
This simplifies bus_verify_polkit_async() and related calls quite a bit:
1. This removes any support for authentication-by-Linux-capability. This
is ultimately a kdbus leftover: with classic AF_UNIX transports we
cannot authenticate by capabilities securely (because we cannot
acquire it from the peer without races), hence we never actually did.
Since the necessary kernel work didn't materialize in the last 10y,
and is unlikely to be added, let's just kill this context. We cannot
quite remove the caps stuff from sd-bus for API compat, but for our
polkit logic let's kill it.
2. The "good_uid" and "interactive" params are only necessary in very
few cases, hence let's move them to a new call
bus_verify_polkit_async_full() and make bus_verify_polkit_async() a
wrapper around it without those two parameters.
This also fixes a bunch of wrong uses of the "interactive" bool. The
bool makes no sense today as the ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION field
in the D-Bus message header replaces it fully. We only need it to
implement method calls we introduced prior to that header field becoming
available in D-Bus. And it should only be used on such old method calls,
and otherwise always be set to false.
This does not change behaviour in any way. Just simplifies stuff.
Fixes: #21586
One of the steps in setting up NTP is to enable/disable the
'systemd-timesyncd.service' and then perform a daemon reload.
we use an extra-long timeout for reload in timedated as same as used in
systemd daemon reload to avoiding certain situation have longer reload
times (which exceed the 25 second default timeout used for
dbus-communication), potentially leading to setting NTP failure.
By default, label_ops is initialized with a NULL pointer which translates
to noop labelling operations. In mac_selinux_init() and the new mac_smack_init(),
we initialize label_ops with a MAC specific LabelOps pointer.
We also introduce mac_init() to initialize any configured MACs and replace all
usages of mac_selinux_init() with mac_init().
In various tools and services we have a per-system and per-user concept.
So far we sometimes used a boolean indicating whether we are in system
mode, or a reversed boolean indicating whether we are in user mode, or
the LookupScope enum used by the lookup path logic.
Let's address that, in introduce a common enum for this, we can use all
across the board.
This is mostly just search/replace, no actual code changes.
The name "def.h" originates from before the rule of "no needless abbreviations"
was established. Let's rename the file to clarify that it contains a collection
of various semi-related constants.
