We nowadays support unprivileged invocation of systemd-nspawn +
systemd-vmspawn, but there was no support for discovering suitable disk
images (i.e. no per-user counterpart of /var/lib/machines). Add this
now, and hook it up everywhere.
Instead of hardcoding machined's, importd's, portabled's, sysupdated's
image discovery to RUNTIME_SCOPE_SYSTEM I introduced a field that make
the scope variable, even if this field is always initialized to
RUNTIME_SCOPE_SYSTEM for now. I think these four services should
eventually be updated to support a per-user concept too, this is
preparation for that, even though it doesn't outright add support for
this.
This is for the largest part not user visible, except for in nspawn,
vmspawn and the dissect tool. For the latter I added a pair of
--user/--system switches to select the discovery scope.
Fixes a bug introduced by 1ddb263d21.
Note, this requires the previous two commits, and cannot backport without them.
Note, before the previous commit, the use-after-free could be triggered
only by Rename() DBus method, and could not by RenameImage(), as we did not
cache Image object when RenameImage() method is called. And machinectl
always uses RenameImage(). Hence, the issue could be triggered only when
Rename() DBus method is explicitly called by e.g. busctl.
With the previous commit, the Image object passed to the function is
always cached. Hence, the issue could be triggered even with machinectl
command, and this fix is important.
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
We use it for more than just pipe() arrays. For example also for
socketpair(). Hence let's give it a generic name.
Also add EBADF_TRIPLET to mirror this for things like
stdin/stdout/stderr arrays, which we use a bunch of times.
-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.
The old name originates when this was used to discover "machine" images,
as managed by machined/machinectl. But nowadays this is also used by
portable services and system extensions, hence let's use a more generic
name for this API. Taking inspiration from "dissect-image.[ch]", let's call
this "discover-image.[ch]".
This is pure renaming, no other changes.
So far we followed to rule that child processes we fork off without
execve() are named "(sd-xyz)", but one child process didn't follow this.
Correct that.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Let's rework error handling a bit in image_find() and friends: when we
can't find an image, return -ENOENT rather than 0. That's better as
before we violated the usual rule in our codebase that return parameters
are initialized when the return value is >= 0 and otherwise not touched.
This also makes enumeration and validation a bit more strict: we'll only
accept ".raw" as suffix for regular files, and filter out this suffix
handling on directories/subvolumes, where it makes no sense.
This distuingishes two different classes of images, one for the purpose
of npsawn-like containers, i.e. "machines", and one for portable
services.
This distinction is mostly about search paths. We look for machine
images in /var/lib/machines and for portable images in
/var/lib/portables.
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.
This adds a new safe_fork() wrapper around fork() and makes use of it
everywhere. The new wrapper does a couple of things we previously did
manually and separately in a safer, more correct and automatic way:
1. Optionally resets signal handlers/mask in the child
2. Sets a name on all processes we fork off right after forking off (and
the patch assigns useful names for all processes we fork off now,
following a systematic naming scheme: always enclosed in () – in order
to indicate that these are not proper, exec()ed processes, but only
forked off children, and if the process is long-running with only our
own code, without execve()'ing something else, it gets am "sd-" prefix.)
3. Optionally closes all file descriptors in the child
4. Optionally sets a PR_SET_DEATHSIG to SIGTERM in the child, in a safe
way so that the parent dying before this happens being handled
safely.
5. Optionally reopens the logs
6. Optionally connects stdin/stdout/stderr to /dev/null
7. Debug logs about the forked off processes.
Let's rework the D-Bus APIs GetImageOSRelease() to use the new internal
metadata API, to query what it needs to know. Augment it with
GetImageHostname(), GetImageMachineID(), GetImageMachineInfo(), that
expose the other new APIS.
This adds some basic discovery of block device images for nspawn and
friends. Note that this doesn't add searching for block devices using
udev, but instead expects users to symlink relevant block devices into
/var/lib/machines. Discovery is hence done exactly like for
dir/subvol/raw file images, except that what is found may be a (symlink
to) a block device.
For now, we do not support cloning these images, but removal, renaming
and read-only flags are supported to the point where that makes sense.
