The method is deprecated since 64f173324e
(v257) and announced that it will be removed in v258.
Let's remove it now.

Some sd-bus man pages did not have any references on the main
sd-bus man page. Unless you accidentally stumbled on them from
other pages it was difficult to discover them.
The functions `sd_bus_emit_interfaces_added_strv`, `sd_bus_emit_interfaces_removed_strv`
and `sd_bus_emit_properties_changed_strv` take an `char **` not
`const char **` as last argument.
See `src/systemd/sd-bus.h` for the function definition.
We can run sd-ipv4ll/sd-ipv4acd also on an interface with IFF_NOARP
flag, but that may cause address conflict with other hosts.
Let's enable ARPing when sd-ipv4ll/sd-ipv4acd are enabled unless ARP= is
explicitly disabled.
ssh-generator and ssh-proxy are great features, it is very handy to be
able to do:
ssh vsock/1
But, because of the '/' used as a separator, scp and rsync don't
interpret 'vsock/<CID>' as a hostname, e.g.
$ scp /etc/machine-id vsock/2222:.
cp: cannot create regular file 'vsock/2222:.': No such file or directory
$ rsync /etc/machine-id vsock/2222:.
rsync: [Receiver] change_dir#3 "(...)/vsock" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(829) [Receiver=3.4.1]
An alternative is to use ',' as separator, e.g.
$ scp /etc/machine-id vsock,2222:.
This is what is being suggested here. The names with '/' are kept not to
break anything here.
Others are possible: '%', '=', '#', '@', ':', etc. As mentioned in
commit 0abd510f7f ("ssh-proxy: add ssh ProxyCommand tool that can
connect to AF_UNIX + AF_VSOCK sockets"), it is better to avoid ':' as it
is already taken by SSH itself when doing sftp, and "@" is already taken
for separating the user name. '#' will cause some issues with some
shells like ZSH when quotes are not used.
I think the current behaviour of not doing EFI variables when we are run
in a container makes a ton of sense, but in some cases it's useful to
do EFI var setup even when a set of namespaces is set up for us, for
example to recover a hosed installation from a rescue disk.
While we are at it, let's remove some duplicate checks, and
systematically output information why we skip various operations.
Fixes: #36174#35005
We had a downstream discussion on what `systemctl reload-or-restart
--marked` does, until upstream chimed in and pointed on very special
behavior for that combination. 😜
The second references the first, but not vice versa. Let's fix this.
Add support for creating HSR/PRP interfaces. HSR (High-availability Seamless
Redundancy) and PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) are two protocols that
provide seamless failover against failure of any single network component. They
are both implemented by the "hsr" kernel driver.
Let's automatically generate validatefs xattrs by default, that encode
the intended use of partitions.
This defaults to on, since the structure of repart definition files
tells us enough on use for this to be safe. There's an option however,
to turn this off.
Let's turn on validatefs automatically for all auto-discovered
partitions.
Let's add an x-systemd.validatefs option to optionally turn this on for
fstab listed file systems.
This new tool looks for a three xattr on the root inode of a file system
that encode mount constraints of the file system. The tool is supposed
to be hooke into the mount logic and is supposed to protect against
misappropriating trusted file systems in unintended ways.
Consider the following scenario: we boot up on first boot and create a
tpm-locked pair of /var/ and /srv/ partitions via systemd-repart. An
attacker then offline modifies the partition table, exchanging the
metadata of the /var/ and /srv/ partition. So far we'd happily accept
that, honour the modified metadata and boot up. This could be used to
revert changes to /var/ or similar. And all that even though both
partitions are encrypted and locked to TPM!
With this new mechanism we can encode in the protected contents of the
file systems the ways it can be used: the partition type uuid, the
partition label and the intended mount point can be stored in xattrs,
and we can check them automatically on mount, and take action on
mismatch. (action would typically be immediate reboot).
Currently, to run the integration tests, it's still necessary to
install various other build tools besides meson: A compiler, gperf,
libcap, ... which we want to avoid in CI systems where we receive
prebuilt systemd packages and only want to test them. Examples are
Debian's autopkgtest CI and Fedora CI. Let's make it possible for
these systems to run the integration tests without having to install
any other build dependency besides meson by extracting the logic
required to run the integration tests with meson into a separate
subdirectory and adding a standalone top-level meson.build file which
can be used to configure a meson tree with as its only purpose running
the integration tests.
Practically, we do the following:
- all the integration test directories and integration-test-wrapper.py
are moved from test/ to test/integration-tests/.
- All the installation logic is kept out of test/integration-tests/ or
any of its subdirectories and moved into test/meson.build instead.
- We add test/integration-tests/standalone/meson.build to run the
integration tests standalone. This meson file includes
test/integration-tests via a cute symlink hack to trick meson into
including a parent directory with subdir().
- Documentation is included on how to use the new standalone mode.
