These are provided by libc instead of the compiler and are not supposed
to be used in freestanding environments.
When cross-compiling with clang and the corresponding gcc
cross-toolchain is not around, clang may pick up the wrong header from
the host system.
An rpminspect test in Fedora/RHEL is flagging our stub files as having an
executable stack. The check is correct:
$ readelf --wide --program-headers build/src/boot/efi/linuxx64.elf.stub | rg -i stack
GNU_STACK 0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000 0x000000 RWE 0x10
It seems to be just an omission in the linker script… None of the objects that
are linked into the stub are marked as requiring an executable stack:
$ readelf --wide --sections build/src/boot/efi/*.c.o \
/usr/lib/gnuefi/x64/libgnuefi.a \
/usr/lib/gnuefi/x64/libefi.a \
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/12/libgcc.a \
| rg '.note.GNU-stack.*X'
(nothing)
On aarch64 we end up with a nonexecutable stack, but on ia32 and x64 we get one,
so this might be just a matter of defaults in the linker. It doesn't matter
greatly, but let's mark the stack as non-executable to avoid the warning.
Note: '-Wl,-z' is not needed, things work with just '-z'.
Before this commit, battery_is_low() returns
true if there's no battery on the system.
It's now modified to check if the system is
on AC power first, and returns false early
if that's the case.
Fixes#26492
We already have this nice code in system that determines the block
device backing the root file system, but it's only used internally in
systemd-gpt-generator. Let's make this more accessible and expose it
directly in bootctl.
It doesn't fit immediately into the topic of bootctl, but I think it's
close enough and behaves very similar to the existing "bootctl
--print-boot-path" and "--print-esp-path" tools.
If --print-root-device (or -R) is specified once, will show the block device
backing the root fs, and if specified twice (probably easier: -RR) it
will show the whole block device that block device belongs to in case it
is a partition block device.
Suggested use:
# cfdisk `bootctl -RR`
To get access to the partition table, behind the OS install, for
whatever it might be.
Let's move stuff that only applies to the final image to the
postinst script. Let's also move out some of the static files to
mkosi.extra/ instead of hardcoding them in scripts.
Although this slightly more verbose it makes it much easier to reason
about. The code that produces the tests heavily benefits from this.
Test lists are also now sorted by test name.
A lot of tests can be defined by just their filename. Moving into their
own list keeps things simpler, especially with the next commit. It also
makes it easier to keep the lists sorted.
We want to get away from gnu-efi and the only really usable source of
EFI headers would be EDK2, which is somewhat impractical to use and
quite large to require to be around just for some headers.
As a bonus point, the new headers are safe to be included in userspace
code.
This should not have any behavior changes as it is mostly changing
header includes. There are some renames to conform to standard names
and a few minor device path fixups as the struct is defined slightly
different.
Of note is that this removes usage of uchar.h and wchar.h as they are
not guaranteed to be available in a freestanding environment. Instead
efi.h will provide the needed types.
I'm not sure what "suffix" was meant by this comment, but the file has the usual suffix.
The file was added with the current name back in c4708f1323.
Maybe an earlier version of the patch did something different.
We nowadays check for ordering anyway at time of writing entries, hence
we don't have to do that at moment of opening, too.
Benefit of dropping this check: we can safely archive files from the
future instead of marking them as broken.
We allow reading them, and we allow creating them, but we so far did not
allow opening existing ones for write – if the machine ID is not
initialized.
Let's fix that.
(This is just to fix an asymmetry. I have no immediate use for this. But
test code should in theory be able to use this, if it runs in an
incompletely initialized environment.)
Previously, if we ran in an environment where /etc/machine-id was
not defined, we'd never bother to write it ever again. So it would stay
at all zeroes till the end of times.
Let's make this more robust: whenever we try to append an entry, let's
try to refresh it from the status quo if not initialized yet. Moreover,
when copying records from a different journal file, let's propagate the
machine ID from there.
This should make things more robust and systematic, and match how we
propagate the boot ID and the seqnum ID to some level.
This doesn't actually change much, but makes the code less surprising.
Status quo ante:
1. Open a journal file
2. If newly created set header machine ID to zero
3. If existing and open for write check if machine ID in header matches
local one, if not, refuse.
4. if open for writing, now refresh the machine ID from the local system
Of course, step 4 is pretty much pointless for existing files, as the
check in 3 made sure it is already in order or we'd refuse operating on
it anyway. With this patch this is simplified to:
1. Open a journal file
2. If newly created initialized machine ID to local machine ID
3. If existing, compare machine ID in header with local one, if not
matching refuse.
Outcome is the same.
The header of the journal file contains a boot ID field that is
currently updated whenever we open the journal file. This is not ideal:
pretty often we want to archive a journal file, and need to open it for
that. Archiving a foreign journal file should not mark it as ours, it
should just change the status flag in the file header.
The boot ID in the header is aleady rewritten whenever we write a
journal entry to the file anyway, hence all this patch effectively does
is slightly "delay" when the boot ID in the header is updated: instead
of immediately on open it is updated on the first entry that is written.
Net effect: archived journal files don't all look like they were written
to on a boot newer then they actually were
And more importantly: the "tail_entry_monotonic" field suddenly becomes
useful, since we know which boot it belongs to. Generally, monotonic
timestamps without boot ID information are useless, and this fixes it.
A new (compatible) header flag marks file where the boot_id can be
understood this way. This can be used by code that wants to make use of
the "tail_entry_monotonic" field to ensure it actually can do so safely.
This also renames the structure definition in journal-def accordingly,
to indicate we now follow the stricter semantics for it.
