Previously, the flag did two things at once: enable support for using
generic partitions as root fs if there were only one/allow use of
partition-table-less images as root fs. And secondly, insist that there
was a rootfs, and fail if not. Let's split these two in two separate
options so that they can be used independently of each other.
There are cases where one wants to use one without the other (i.e. when
inspecting things with systemd-dissect tool it should be OK to do so
even if image has no root fs), and it's cleaner anyway.
Let's add a very simple mechanism for doing A/B updating of disk images:
for root + /usr and their verity partitions let's ue strverscmp() on the
label to determine which one to use when dissecting a disk image. That
way, if the root partition label contains a string such as "foo-0.15"
and another one "foo-0.16", the latter wins.
For other partition types let's stick to the logic of "first partition
found" win, as before. Versioning makes sense for partitions that
typically and primarily may carry software packages, but the other
partition types usuall don't.
Let's make use of the new dissection in all tools where this makes
sense, which are all tools that dissect images, except for those which
inherently operate on state/configuraiton and thus where an image
without state nor configuration is useless (e.g.
systemd-tmpfiles/systemd-firstboot/… --image= switch).
Let's add support for images that include an /usr/ file system but no
root fs. Mount a tmpfs as root for images like this, all controlled by a
new flag DISSECT_IMAGE_USR_NO_ROOT.
This is useful for entirely stateless images, that come up pristine on
every single boot.
Previously, when a process outputs something and exit just after
epoll_wait() but before process_child(), then the IO event is ignored
even if the IO event has higher priority. See #18190.
This can be solved by checking epoll event again after process_child().
However, there exists a possibility that another process outputs and
exits just after process_child() but before the second epoll_wait().
When the IO event has lower priority than the child event, still IO
event is processed.
So, this makes new epoll events and child events are checked in a loop
until no new event is detected. To prevent an infinite loop, the number
of maximum trial is set to 10.
Fixes#18190.
When doing a CNAME/DNAME redirect let's first check if the answer we
already have fully answers the redirected question already. If so, let's
use that. If not, let's properly restart things.
This simply removes one call to dns_answer_reset() that was placed too
early: instead of resetting when we detect a CNAME/DNAME redirect, do so
only after checking if the answer we already have doesn't match the
reply, and then decide to *actually* follow it. Or in other words: rely
on the dns_answer_reset() call in dns_query_go() which we'll call to
actually begin with the redirected question.
This fixes an optimization path which was broken back in 7820b320ea.
(This doesn't really matter as much as one might think, since our cache
stepped in anyway and answered the questions before going back to the
network. However, this adds noise if RRs with very short TTLs are cached
– which some CDNs do – and is of course relavant when people turn off
the local cache.)
Previously by mistake we'd always match every single reply we get in a
CNAME chain to the original question from the stub client. That's
broken, we need to test it against the CNAME query we are currently
looking at.
The effect of this incorrect matching was that we'd assign the RRs to
the wrong section since we'd assume they'd be auxiliary answers instead
of primary answers.
Fixes: #18972
When responding from DNS cache, let's slightly tweak how the TTL is
lowered: as before let's round down when converting from our internal µs
to the external seconds. (This is preferable, since records should
better be cached too short instead of too long.) Let's avoid rounding
down to zero though, since that has special semantics in many cases (in
particular mDNS). Let's just use 1s in that case.
We nowadays cache full answer RRset combinations instead of just the
exact matching rrset. This means we should not cache RRs that are not
immediate answers to our question for longer then their own RRs. Or in
other words: let's determine the shortest TTL of all RRs in the whole
answer, and use that as cache lifetime.
When using hidepid=invisible on procfs, the kernel will check if the
gid of the process trying to access /proc is the same as the gid of
the process that mounted the /proc instance, or if it has the ptrace
capability:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.10/fs/proc/base.c#L723https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.10/fs/proc/root.c#L155
Given we set up the /proc instance as root for system services,
The same restriction applies to CAP_SYS_PTRACE, if a process runs with
it then hidepid=invisible has no effect.
ProtectProc effectively can only be used with User= or DynamicUser=yes,
without CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
Update the documentation to explicitly state these limitations.
Fixes#18997
These were added to eficonex.h in gnu-efi 3.0.13. Let's move them
to missing_efi.h behind an appropriate guard to fix the build with
recent versions of gnu-efi.
The integer overflow happens when utf8_encoded_valid_unichar() returns an error
code. The error code is a negative number: -22. This overflows when it is
assigned to `z` (type `size_t`). This can cause an infinite loop if the value
of `q` is 22 or larger.
To reproduce the bug, you need to run `systemd-ask-password` and enter an
invalid unicode character, followed by a backspace character.

Since f17bdf8264 the test-repart was
effectively disabled, since `/dev/loop-control` is a character special
file, whereas `-f` works only on regular files. Even though we could use
`-c` to check specifically for character special files, let's use `-e`
just in case.
