When the extensions for the final system are already set up from the
initrd we should avoid disrupting the boot process with the remount
(which currently isn't atomic) and the daemon reload for
systemd-confext and systemd-sysext. Similarly, when sysupdate ran and
updated extensions it's best to avoid the remount and daemon reload if
no changes are found.
To do this, encode the current extension state in more detail than
before where only the names of the extensions where encoded in the
overlay mount. This can also be used to provide more details about the
extension origin in "systemd-sysext status (--json=)". During the
refresh add a check whether the old state matches the new state and in
this case skip the refresh unless the user provides a flag to always
refresh. Besides the extension name and the resolved path the best
method for identification is the verity hash but that is not available
for plain image files or directories. Therefore, also include data to
check for file/directory replacements. The creation/modification times
are not always real on reproducible images or extracted archive content.
The file handle together with the unique mount ID is the next best
identifier we can use when we have no verity hash. Fall back to an inode
when we get no handle. With the creation/modification time and the path
this should be good enough. Using a unique mount ID is important (with
a fallback to the regular non-unique mount ID) instead of st_dev because
st_dev gets reused too easily, e.g., by a loop device mount and the
mount ID helps to catch this. For the mount ID to be valid it has to be
resolved before we enter the new mount namespace. Thus, it gets provided
by the image dissect logic and handed over to the sysext subprocess
which runs in a new mount namespace.
Luckily, we can rule out online modification of directories or image
files because this is anyway not well supported with overlay mounts, so
we don't do a file checksum nor do we recurse into a directory to look
for the most recently touched files. But, as said, with the
always-refresh flag one can force a reload.
Move the BPF_JMP_A macro from override/linux/bpf.h to
override/linux/bpf_insn.h. The bpf.h override conflicts with libbpf's
-I/usr/include/bpf/uapi include path. Since bpf_insn.h is not typically
installed at /usr/include/linux/ or /usr/include/bpf/uapi/linux/, the
override works without conflicts.
Fixes#40331
Transparent Hugepages (THP) is a Linux kernel feature that manages
memory using larger pages (2MB on x86, compared to the default 4KB).
The main goal is to improve memory management efficiency and system
performance, especially for memory-intensive applications.
However, it can cause drawbacks in some scenarios, such as memory
regression and latency spikes. THP policy is governed for the entire
system via /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled.
However, it can be overridden for individual workloads via prctl(2)
call.
MemoryTHP= is used to disable THPs at exec-invoke to stop
providing THPs for workloads where the drawbacks outweigh the advantages.
When set to "disable", MemoryTHP= disables THPs completely for the
process, irrespecitive of global THP controls.
When set to "madvise", MemoryTHP= disables THPs for the process except
when specifically madvised by the process with MADV_HUGEPAGE or MADV_COLLAPSE.
libcrypt was no longer built by default since glibc-2.38, and it has been
completely removed since glibc-2.39.
Let's always use libxcrypt, unless when building with musl. As already
major distribution already have libxcrypt-4.4.x, hence let's also bump
the required minimum version to 4.4.0.
libxcrypt cannot be built with musl, hence the previous fallback logic
in libcrypt-util.c are moved to musl/crypt.c.
Note, libxcrypt-4.4.0 was released on 2018-11-20.
See also #38608.
Allow CPUSchedulingPolicy to be set to "ext". SCHED_EXT is a new
scheduling policy in Linux v6.12 that allows processes to be scheduled
using custom BPF schedulers instead of the default in-kernel ones.
Selectively setting the SCHED_EXT policy is useful for systems running
in "partial mode" where not all processes are run using a custom
scheduler.
Fallback to SCHED_OTHER and print an error message for systems where
SCHED_EXT isn't available.
musl's getopt_long() behaves something different in handling optional arguments:
```
$ journalctl _PID=1 _COMM=systemd --since 19:19:01 -n all --follow
Failed to add match 'all': Invalid argument
```
This introduces getopt_long_fix() that reorders the passed arguments to make
getopt_long() provided by musl works as what we expect.
Also, musl's getopt() always behaves POSIXLY_CORRECT mode, and stops parsing
arguments when a non-option string found. Let's always use getopt_long().
This reverts commit 3ae7d8fd87.
Now utmp support is always disabled when building with musl,
and all definitions are unused in that case. Let's remove it.
musl neither support GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC nor GLOB_BRACE.
Let's make safe_glob() work even when GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC is not supported.
Currently, GLOB_BRACE is simply ignored when it is not supported.
musl provides XSI compliant strerror_r(), and it is slightly different
from the one by glibc.
Let's introduce a tiny wrapper to convert XSI strerror_r() to GNU one.
The wrapper also patches musl's spurious catchall error message.
glibc's sys/stat.h includes linux/stat.h, and we have copy of it from
the latest kernel, hence all new flags are always defined.
However, musl's sys/stat.h does not include linux/stat.h, and moreover,
they conflict with each other, hence we cannot include both header
simultaneously. Let's define missing macros to support musl.
This is to avoid build failures like below for musl.

Even 'gshadow' meson option is disabled, src/shared/userdb.c and
src/shared/user-record-nss.c include gshadow.h unconditionally.
Let's introduce dummy header to make them compiled gracefully.
Those were added before 0.61 which is our minimum version.
Dots were dropped from the end of some messages. Most messages did not have the
trailing dot.
0.63 added support for multi-line f-strings. We can't use those yet.
We went back and forth between 'prog.sh', files('prog.sh'), and
find_program('prog.sh'). We want to use files() or find_program() so that we
get a good error message if the file is missing. Behaviour of meson changed
over time, and in the past not all forms could be used in all places. For
example 0f4c4f3824 added find_program() in many
places to avoid repeated messages. But it seems that all recent meson versions
work fine with files().
find_program prints silly messages:
Program tools/make-man-index.py found: YES
(/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/tools/make-man-index.py)
Program tools/meson-render-jinja2.py found: YES
(/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/tools/meson-render-jinja2.py)
...
We know that those files will be found, they are part of the git checkout.
With files() this is gone and the meson output is easier to read.
All those files are standalone programs that can be executed directly.
Some .py files were marked executable, others weren't, probably accidentally.
Mark them all as executable in preparation for subsequent changes.
