Enabling this service by default means every CI image without a
regular user now gets stuck on first boot due to the password prompt
from systemd-homed-firstboot.service. Let's not enable the service
by default but instead require users to enable it explicitly if they
want its behavior.
Fixes#33249
This adds a small, socket-activated Varlink daemon that can delegate UID
ranges for user namespaces to clients asking for it.
The primary call is AllocateUserRange() where the user passes in an
uninitialized userns fd, which is then set up.
There are other calls that allow assigning a mount fd to a userns
allocated that way, to set up permissions for a cgroup subtree, and to
allocate a veth for such a user namespace.
Since the UID assignments are supposed to be transitive, i.e. not
permanent, care is taken to ensure that users cannot create inodes owned
by these UIDs, so that persistancy cannot be acquired. This is
implemented via a BPF-LSM module that ensures that any member of a
userns allocated that way cannot create files unless the mount it
operates on is owned by the userns itself, or is explicitly
allowelisted.

As described in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/31235, the preset
state for systemd-homed-activate.service was unclear. On the one hand, we have
a preset with 'enable systemd-homed.service', and systemd-homed.service has
'Also=systemd-homed-activate.service systemd-homed-firstboot.service', so
'preset systemd-homed.service' would also enable those two services, but
'preset systemd-homed-activate.service' would disable it, because the presets
don't say it is enabled. It seems that this configuration is internally
inconsistent. As described in the issue, maybe systemctl should be smarter
here, or warn about such configs. Either way, let's make our config consistent.
Follow-up for d1f6e01e47 and
3ccadbce33.
I think the existing sections in the preset file make sense, but
alphabetical ordering is kinda cool too.
try to find a middle ground, and at least sort within each section.
No actual change of behaviour, just some reordering of lines.
As #25459 points out our default preset is contradictory. Let's fix
that.
This enables systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, as we enable
systemd-networkd.service which enables that anyway.
This is safe since network-online.target should not be pulled in by
default.
Fixes: #25459
Before this patch the only way to prevent journald from reading the audit
messages was to mask systemd-journald-audit.socket. However this had main
drawback that downstream couldn't ship the socket disabled by default (beside
the fact that masking units is not supposed to be the usual way to disable
them).
Fixes#15777
It is used by udevd and networkd. Since udevd is enabled statically, let's also
change the preset to "on". networkd is opt-in, so let's pull in the generator
when enabling networkd too.
Boot loaders are software like any other, and hence muse be updated in
regular intervals. Let's add a simple (optional) service that updates
sd-boot automatically from the host if it is found installed but
out-of-date in the ESP.
Note that traditional distros probably should invoke "bootctl update"
directly from the package scripts whenver they update the sd-boot
package. This new service is primarily intended for image-based update
systems, i.e. where the rootfs or /usr are atomically updated in A/B
style and where the current boot loader should be synced into the ESP
from the currently booted image every now and then. It can also act as
safety net if the packaging scripts in classic systems are't doing the
bootctl update stuff themselves.
Since updating boot loaders mit be a tiny bit risky (even though we try
really hard to make them robust, by fsck'ing the ESP and mounting it only on
demand, by doing updates mostly as single file updates and by fsync()ing
heavily) this is an optional feature, i.e. subject to "systemctl
enable". However, since it's the right thing to do I think, it's enabled
by default via the preset logic.
Note that the updating logic is implemented gracefully: i.e. it's a NOP
if the boot loader is already new enough, or was never installed.
The proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount unit should not be enabled by
preset-all because it should only be used as fallback in case
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount cannot be used on a system. In these
cases it should be enabled manually by an administrator.
This reverts commit 61c3e2c8bf.
The original commit doesn't make sense to me, none of the listed units
have an [Install] section, they hence are not subject to enable/disable
and hence not preset either. This commit hence has no effect whatsoever,
let's undo it to avoid further confusion.
let's make sure we list all singleton units we define in the preset
list, either as disable or as enable. Only four were missing, let's add
them in.
Also, let's group the pstore one with the other ones that are enabled,
right at the top.
This reverts commit 7e1ed1f3b2.
systemd-repart is not a user service that should be something people
enable/disable, instead it should just work if there's configuration for
it. It's like systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-sysusers, systemd-load-modules,
systemd-binfmt, systemd-systemd-sysctl which are NOPs if they have no
configuration, and thus don't hurt, but cannot be disabled since they
are too deep part of the OS.
This doesn't mean people couldn't disable the service if they really
want to, there's after all "systemctl mask" and build-time disabling,
but those are OS developer facing instead of admin facing, that's how it
should be.
Note that systemd-repart is in particular an initrd service, and so far
enable/disable state of those is not managed anyway via "systemctl
enable/disable" but more what dracut decides to package up and what not.
It's lightweight and generally useful, so it should be enabled by default. But
users might want to disable it for whatever reason, and things should be fine
without it, so let's make it installable so it can be disabled if wanted.
Fixes#15175.
This essentially adds another layer of configurability:
build disable, this, presence of configuration. The default is
set to enabled, because the service does nothing w/o config.
Officially we default to a "enable *", even though pretty much everybody
overrides this with "disable *". We have a bunch of targets and services which
should not be enabled by default. In case the default policy is not overriden,
our passive units would be enabled by presets, which is generally not useful at
all. So let's explicitly mark them as disabled.
Note that this effectively changes very little. E.g. on Fedora, all the units
listed in this patch were "disabled" already.
Fixes#14648.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
An explicit --user switch is necessary because for the user@0.service instance
systemd-tmpfiles is running as root, and we need to distinguish that from
systemd-tmpfiles running in systemd-tmpfiles*.service.
Fixes#2208.
v2:
- restore "systemd-" prefix
- add systemd-tmpfiles-clean.{service,timer}, systemd-setup.service to
systemd-tmpfiles(8)
I want to add presets/user/ later. This mirrors the layout for units:
we have units/ and units/user. The advantage is that we avoid having yet
another directory at the top level.
