In mkosi, we want to support signing via a hardware token. We already
support this in systemd-repart and systemd-measure. However, if the
hardware token is protected by a pin, the pin is asked as many as 20
times when building an image as the pin is not cached and thus requested
again for every operation.
Let's introduce a custom openssl ui when we use engines and providers
and plug systemd-ask-password into the process. With systemd-ask-password,
the pin can be cached in the kernel keyring, allowing us to reuse it without
querying the user again every time to enter the pin.
We use the private key URI as the keyring identifier so that the cached pin
can be shared across multiple tools.
Note that if the private key is pin protected, openssl will prompt both when
loading the private key using the pkcs11 engine and when actually signing the
roothash. To make sure our custom UI is used when signing the roothash, we have
to also configure it with ENGINE_ctrl() which takes a non-owning pointer to
the UI_METHOD object and its userdata object which we have to keep alive so we
introduce a new AskPasswordUserInterface struct which we use to keep both objects
alive together with the EVP_PKEY object.
Because the AskPasswordRequest struct stores non-owning pointers to its fields,
we change repart to store the private key URI as a global variable again instead
of the EVP_PKEY object so that we can use the private key argument as the keyring
field of the AskPasswordRequest instance without running into lifetime issues.
The names of these conflict with macros from efi.h that we'll move
to efi-fundamental.h in a later commit. Let's avoid the conflict by
getting rid of these helpers. Arguably this also improves readability
by clearly indicating we're passing arbitrary strings and not constants
to the macros when we invoke them.
Currently ask_password_auto() will always try to store the password into
the user keyring. Let's make this configurable so that we can configure
ask_password_auto() into the session keyring. This is required when working
with user namespaces, as the user keyring is namespaced by user namespaces
which makes it impossible to share cached keys across user namespaces by using
the user namespace while this is possible with the session keyring.
When an exec directory is shared between services, this allows one of the
service to be the producer of files, and the other the consumer, without
letting the consumer modify the shared files.
This will be especially useful in conjunction with id-mapped exec directories
so that fully sandboxed services can share directories in one direction, safely.
This allows an unprivileged user that is active at the console to change
the fields that are in the selfModifiable allowlists (introduced in a
previous commit) without authenticating as a system administrator.
Administrators can disable this behavior per-user by setting the
relevant selfModifiable allowlists, or system-wide by changing the
policy of the org.freedesktop.home1.update-home-by-owner Polkit action.
OSC sequences can be closed with one of three terminators:
1. ASCII code 7, aka BEL, aka ^G, aka \x07, aka \a
2. ASCII code 156, aka \x9c
2. Pair of ASCII code 27 followed by ASCII code 92, aka \x1b\x5c
Of these, in some corner case scenarios BEL makes problem (see #34604).
Hence switch away from that wherever we use it, and prefer the \x1b\x5c
instead. That's preferable over \x9c, since the latter is also a valid
UTF-8 codepoint. See discussion here for example:

In mkosi, we want an easy way to set the keyring timeout for every
tool we invoke that might use systemd-ask-password to query for a
password which is then stored in the kernel keyring. Let's make this
possible via a new $SYSTEMD_ASK_PASSWORD_KEYRING_TIMEOUT_SEC environment
variable.
Using an environment variable means we don't have to modify every separate
tool to add a CLI option allowing to specify the timeout. In mkosi specifically,
we'll set up a new session keyring for the mkosi process linked to the user keyring
so that any pins in the user keyring are used if available, and otherwise we'll query
for and store password in mkosi's session keyring with a zero timeout so that they stay
in the keyring until the mkosi process exits at which point they're removed from the
keyring.
This generates the Windows Terminal OSC sequences indicating progress.
This let's the terminal know that we are doing a slow operation, and how
we are progressing.
Windows Terminal uses this in two ways: it shows a circle in the tab
that completes, and it highlights the progress in the task bar.
I found no Linux terminal that currently supports it, but also none that
didn't like it. Thankfully most terminals correctly ignore unrecognized
OSC sequences.
I think we should just merge this, and see if this trips up too many
people, but I have reason to believe this shouldn't be too bad.
And yes, I do work from Windows Terminal sometimes, ssh into my Linux
build systems, and it is really cute seeing the progress animation
there.
When invoked on a running system, bsod would not print the qrcode.
The check for "color support" on stdout is pointless, since we're not
printing to stdout but to a terminal fd that is opened separately.
This commit adds two settings private and strict to
the ProtectControlGroups= property. Private will unshare the cgroup
namespace and mount a read-write private cgroup2 filesystem at /sys/fs/cgroup.
Strict does the same except the mount is read-only. Since the unit is
running in a cgroup namespace, the new root of /sys/fs/cgroup is the unit's
own cgroup.
We also add a new dbus property ProtectControlGroupsEx which accepts strings
instead of boolean. This will allow users to use private/strict via dbus
and systemd-run in addition to service files.
Note private and strict fall back to no and yes respectively if the kernel
doesn't support cgroup2 or system is not using unified hierarchy.
Fixes: #34634
We often used a pattern like if (!FLAGS_SET(flags, SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF)),
which is rather verbose and also contains a double negative, which we try
to avoid. Add a little helper to avoid an explicit bit check.
This change clarifies an aditional thing: in some cases we treated
SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF as a flag (flags & SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF), while in other cases
we treated it as an independent enum value (flags == SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF).
In the first form, flags like SD_JSON_FORMAT_SSE do _not_ turn the json
output on, while in the second form they do. Let's use the first form
everywhere.
No functional change intended.
Initially I wasn't sure if this helper should be made public or just internal,
but it seems such a common pattern that if we expose the flags, we might just
as well expose it too, to make life easier for any consumers.
This adds some basic client-side user/group filtering to "userdbctl":
1. by uid/gid min/max
2. by user "disposition" (i.e. show only regular users with "userdbctl
user -R")
3. by fuzzy name (i.e. search by substring/levenshtein of user name,
real name, and other identifiers of the user/group record).
In the long run we also want to support this server side, but let's
start out with doing this client-side, since many backends won't support
server-side filtering anytime soon anyway, so we need it in either case.
Currently, when comparing two DNS names when storing them in a
hashtable, and the DNS names are not actually valid we'll compare the
error codes.
This is not very smart however, since this means two invalid DNS names
that happen to be equally "invalid" will be considered identical, even
if their strings are entirely different.
Let's find a better solution for this niche case: let's simple compare
the domains as strings.
This matters in case of DNS label compression: if we already added added
an invalid DNS name into the label compression hash table, and lookup
any other invalid DNS name, this lookup will likely return what the
earlier one already returned, and that's confusing.
Move the renaming function to reboot-util.h (since it writes out
/run/nologin at shutdown), and let's get rid of fileio-label.[ch] now
that it serves no purpose anymore.
Given that we have the LabelOps abstraction these days, we can teach
write_string_file() to use it, which means we can get rid of
fileio-label.[ch] as a separate concept.
(The only reason that fileio-label.[ch] exists independently of
fileio.[ch] was that the former linekd to libselinux potentially, and
thus had to be in src/shared/ while the other always was in src/basic/.
But the LabelOps vtable provides us with a nice work-around)
We have two distinct implementations of the post hook.
1. For SELinux we just reset the selinux label we told the kernel
earlier to use for new inodes.
2. For SMACK we might apply an xattr to the specified file.
The two calls are quite different: the first call we want to call in all
cases (failure or success), the latter only if we actually managed to
create an inode, in which case it is called on the inode.
