-1 was used everywhere, but -EBADF or -EBADFD started being used in various
places. Let's make things consistent in the new style.
Note that there are two candidates:
EBADF 9 Bad file descriptor
EBADFD 77 File descriptor in bad state
Since we're initializating the fd, we're just assigning a value that means
"no fd yet", so it's just a bad file descriptor, and the first errno fits
better. If instead we had a valid file descriptor that became invalid because
of some operation or state change, the other errno would fit better.
In some places, initialization is dropped if unnecessary.
Also stop stashing the kmsg fifo fd in the socket. Just retrieve it in
the parent and have the parent hold on to it.

Before we supported pivot_root() nspawn used to make the rootfs shared
before setting up the mount tunnel. So it was safe for it to just turn
it into a dependent mount during setup.
However, we cannot do this anymore because of the requirements
pivot_root() has. After the pivot_root() we will make the rootfs shared
recursively. If we turned the mount tunnel into dependent mount before
mount_switch_root() this will have the consequence that it becomes a
shared mount within the same peer group as the rootfs. So no mounts will
propagate into the container from the host anymore.
To fix this we split setting up the mount tunnel and making it active
into two steps. Setting up the mount tunnel is performed before
mount_switch_root() and activating it afterwards. Note that this works
because turning a shared mount into a shared mount is a nop. IOW, no new
peer group will be allocated.

In order to mount procfs and sysfs in an unprivileged container the
kernel requires that a fully visible instance is already present in the
target mount namespace. Mount one here so the inner child can mount its
own instances. Later we umount the temporary instances created here
before we actually exec the payload. Since the rootfs is shared the
umount will propagate into the container. Note, the inner child wouldn't
be able to unmount the instances on its own since it doesn't own the
originating mount namespace. IOW, the outer child needs to do this.
So far nspawn didn't run into this issue because it used MS_MOVE which
meant that the shadow mount tree pinned a procfs and sysfs instance
which the kernel would find. The shadow mount tree is gone with proper
pivot_root() semantics.

In order to support pivot_root() we need to move mount propagation
changes after the pivot_root(). While MS_MOVE requires the source mount
to not be a shared mount pivot_root() also requires the target mount to
not be a shared mount. This guarantees that pivot_root() doesn't leak
any mounts.

Curently, these two flags were implied by dissect_loop_device(), but
that's not right, because this means systemd-gpt-auto-generator will
dissect the root block device with these flags set and that's not
desirable: the generator should not cause the partition devices to be
created (we don't intend to use them right-away after all, but expect
udev to find/probe them first, and then mount them though .mount units).
And there's no point in opening the partition devices, since we do not
intend to mount them via fds either.
Hence, rework this: instead of implying the flags, specify them
explicitly.
While we are at it, let's also rename the flags to make them more
descriptive:
DISSECT_IMAGE_MANAGE_PARTITION_DEVICES becomes
DISSECT_IMAGE_ADD_PARTITION_DEVICES, since that's really all this does:
add the partition devices via BLKPG.
DISSECT_IMAGE_OPEN_PARTITION_DEVICES becomes
DISSECT_IMAGE_PIN_PARTITION_DEVICES, since we not only open the devices,
but keep the devices open continously (i.e. we "pin" them).
Also, drop the DISSECT_IMAGE_BLOCK_DEVICE combination flag, since it is
misleading, i.e. it suggests it was appropriate to specify on all
dissected blocking devices, but that's precisely not the case, see the
systemd-gpt-auto-generator case. My guess is that the confusion around
this was actually the cause for this bug we are addressing here.
Fixes: #25528
Note, currently, for each call of dissect_loop_device_and_warn(), the
specified name is equivalent to the path passed to loop_device_make_by_path().
Hence, this should not change the current behavios.
rootidmap bind option will map the root user from the container to the
owner of the mounted directory on the filesystem. This will ensure files
and directories created by the root user in the container will be owned
by the directory owner on the filesystem. All other user will remain
unmapped.
This enum should be used to define various idmapping modes for bind
mounts which might be incompatible. Changing its name and the values
name to reflect that.
Let's rework how we lock loopback block devices in two ways:
1. Lock a separate fd, instead of the main block device fd. We already
did that for our internal locking when allocating loopback block
devices, but do so for the exposed locking (i.e.
loop_device_flock()), too, so that the lock is independent of the
main fd we actually use of IO.
2. Instead of locking the device during allocation of the loopback
device, then unlocking it (which will make udev run), and then
re-locking things if we need, let's instead just keep the lock the
whole time, to make things a bit safer and faster, and not have to
wait for udev at all. This is done by adding a "lock_op" parameter to
loop device allocation functions that declares the initial state of
the lock, and is one of LOCK_UN/LOCK_SH/LOCK_EX. This change also
shortens a lot of code, since we allocate + immediately lock loopback
devices pretty much everywhere.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/23192 caused breakage in
Arch Linux's build tooling. Let's give users an opt-out aside from
reverting the patch. It's hardly any maintenance work on our side
and gives users an easy way to revert the locale change if needed.
Of course, by default we still pick C.UTF-8 if the option is not
specified.
This is a follow-up for f470cb6d13 which in
turn is a follow-up for a068aceafb.
The latter started to honour hidden files when deciding whether a
directory is empty. The former reverted to the old behaviour to fix
issue #23220.
It introduced a bug though: when a directory contains a larger number of
hidden entries the getdents64() buffer will not suffice to read them,
since we just allocate three entries for it (which is definitely enough
if we just ignore the . + .. entries, but not ig we ignore more).
I think it's a bit confusing that dir_is_empty() can return true even if
rmdir() on the dir would return ENOTEMPTY. Hence, let's rework the
function to make it optional whether hidden files are ignored or not.
After all, I looking at the users of this function I am pretty sure in
more cases we want to honour hidden files.

When --machine is specified with --ephemeral, no random suffix is added, so
the recently added assert would fail.
Add a top-level variable with the expected file name for nspawn files, and
compute it when the rest of the names are computed.
When --ephemeral is used, a random 16 characters suffix is added to the image
name, so matching on .nspawn files based on the image name no longer works.
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13297
So here's something we should always keep in mind:
systemd-udevd actually does *two* things with BSD file locks on block
devices:
1. While it probes a device it takes a LOCK_SH lock. Thus everyone else
taking a LOCK_EX lock will temporarily block udev from probing
devices, which is good when making changes to it.
2. Whenever a device is closed after write (detected via inotify), udevd
will issue BLKRRPART (requesting the kernel to reread the partition
table). It does this while holding a LOCK_EX lock on the block
device. Thus anyone else taking LOCK_SH or LOCK_EX will temporarily
block udevd from issuing that ioctl. And that's quite relevant, since
the kernel will temporarily flush out all partitions while re-reading
the partition table and then create them anew. Thus it is smart to
take LOCK_SH when dissecting a block device to ensure that no
BLKRRPART is issued in the background, until we mounted the devices.
See a2b0cd3f5a. When -Dshared-lib-tag is used,
libsystemd-shared.so and libsystemd-core.so get a suffix which breaks the
parsing done by systemd_installation_has_version(). We can assume that the
tag will be something like "251-rc1-1.fc37" that is currently used in Fedora.
(Anything that does *not* start with the version would be completely crazy.)
By switching to strverscmp_improved() we simplify the code and fix comparisons
with such versions.

I noticed this when I started a systemd-nspawn container with Redora rawhide
and got the message "Not running with unified cgroup hierarchy, LSM BPF is not
supported". I thought the message is in error, but it was actually correct:
nspawn was misdetecting that the container does not sport new-enough systemd
to support cgroups-v2.
This function implements a heuristic that is only used by nspawn. It doesn't
belong in basic. I opted for a new file "nspawn-utils.c", because it seems
likely that we'll need some other new utilities like that in the future.
No functional change.
Defaults to /bin/bash, no changes in the default configuration
The fallback shell for non-root users is as-specified,
and the interactive shell for nspawn sessions is started as
exec(default-user-shell, "-" + basename(default-user-shell), ...)
before falling through to bash and sh
Same idea as 03677889f0.
No functional change intended. The type of the iterator is generally changed to
be 'const char*' instead of 'char*'. Despite the type commonly used, modifying
the string was not allowed.
I adjusted the naming of some short variables for clarity and reduced the scope
of some variable declarations in code that was being touched anyway.
When using user namespaces in conjunction with uidmapped mounts, nspawn
so far set up two uidmappings:
1. One that is used for the uidmapped mount and that maps the UID range
0…65535 on the backing fs to some high UID range X…X+65535 on the
uidmapped fs. (Let's call this mapping the "mount mapping")
2. One that is used for the userns namespace the container payload
processes run in, that maps X…X+65535 back to 0…65535. (Let's call
this one the "process mapping").
These mappings hence are pretty much identical, one just moves things up
and one back down. (Reminder: we do all this so that the processes can
run under high UIDs while running off file systems that require no
recursive chown()ing, i.e. we want processes with high UID range but
files with low UID range.)
This creates one problem, i.e. issue #20989: if nspawn (which runs as
host root, i.e. host UID 0) wants to add inodes to the uidmapped mount
it can't do that, since host UID 0 is not defined in the mount mapping
(only the X…X+65536 range is, after all, and X > 0), and processes whose
UID is not mapped in a uidmapped fs cannot create inodes in it since
those would be owned by an unmapped UID, which then triggers
the famous EOVERFLOW error.
Let's fix this, by explicitly including an entry for the host UID 0 in
the mount mapping. Specifically, we'll extend the mount mapping to map
UID 2147483646 (which is INT32_MAX-1, see code for an explanation why I
picked this one) of the backing fs to UID 0 on the uidmapped fs. This
way nspawn can creates inode on the uidmapped as it likes (which will
then actually be owned by UID 2147483646 on the backing fs), and as it
always did. Note that we do *not* create a similar entry in the process
mapping. Thus any files created by nspawn that way (and not chown()ed to
something better) will appear as unmapped (i.e. as overflowuid/"nobody")
in the container payload. And that's good. Of course, the latter is
mostly theoretic, as nspawn should generally chown() the inodes it
creates to UID ranges that actually make sense for the container (and we
generally already do this correctly), but it#s good to know that we are
safe here, given we might accidentally forget to chown() some inodes we
create.
Net effect: the two mappings will not be identical anymore. The mount
mapping has one entry more, and the only reason it exists is so that
nspawn can access the uidmapped fs reasonably independently from any
process mapping.
