Naming is always a matter of preference, and the old name would certainly work,
but I think the new one has the following advantages:
- A verb is better than a noun.
- The name more similar to "the competition", i.e. 'sudo', 'pkexec', 'runas',
'doas', which generally include an action verb.
- The connection between 'systemd-run' and 'run0' is more obvious.
There has been no release yet with the old name, so we can rename without
caring for backwards compatibility.
This way the man pages are installed only when the corresponding binary is
installed. The conditions in man pages and man/rules/meson.build are adjusted to
match the conditions for units in units/meson.build.
This also replaces the Fedora download example with another one from
Ubuntu, since Fedora's images these days no longer qualify as DDIs, they
have no distinctive partition type UUIDs set for multiple of their
partitions, hence the images cannot be booted. A bit sad. Let's provide
a command that just works in its place.
This adds a tiny binary that is hooked into SSH client config via
ProxyCommand and which simply connects to an AF_UNIX or AF_VSOCK socket
of choice.
The syntax is as simple as this:
ssh unix/some/path # (this connects to AF_UNIX socket /some/path)
or:
ssh vsock/4711
I used "/" as separator of the protocol ID and the value since ":" is
already taken by SSH itself when doing sftp. And "@" is already taken
for separating the user name.
Distributions apparently only compile a subset of TPM2 drivers into the
kernel. For those not compiled it but provided as kmod we need a
synchronization point: we must wait before the first TPM2 interaction
until the driver is available and accessible.
This adds a tpm2.target unit as such a synchronization point. It's
ordered after /dev/tpmrm0, and is pulled in by a generator whenever we
detect that the kernel reported a TPM2 to exist but we have no device
for it yet.
This should solve the issue, but might create problems: if there are TPM
devices supported by firmware that we don't have Linux drivers for we'll
hang for a bit. Hence let's add a kernel cmdline switch to disable (or
alternatively force) this logic.
Fixes: #30164
The binaries are built and installed if HAVE_TPM2 is set, and ignore ENABLE_BOOTLOADER,
so do the same for the manpages.
For the sd-pcrlock case this also installs the manpage aliases for the units, which
are not installed with -Dbootloader=disabled, but there's no way to conditionalize
the aliases, so on balance it's better to have too much documentation rather than
too little.

This turns "systemd-run" into a multi-call binary. When invoked under
the name "uid0", then it behaves a bit more like traditional "sudo".
This mostly means defaults appropriuate for that, for example a PAM
stack, interactivity and more.
Fixes: #29199
This extends what systemd-firstboot does and runs on first boots only
and either processes user records passed in via credentials to create,
or asks the user interactively to create one (only if no regular user
exists yet).
This module reads password from kernel keyring and sets it as PAM authtok.
It's inspired by gdm's pam_gdm, which reads the LUKS password stored by
systemd-cryptsetup, so Gnome Keyring can be automatically unlocked if set
to the same password (when autologin is enabled so the user doesn't enter
a password in gdm).
Same idea as with bootctl, we might be doing image builds from a
system that doesn't boot with UEFI but we still might want to measure
stuff for the image we're building so let's not gate this behind
ENABLE_BOOTLOADER.
bootctl is rather useful to have, even if on a system without UEFI,
as it has a number of verbs that are unrelated to UEFI (e.g kernel-identify),
and more importantly, it supports --root to operate on directory trees
(which could be intended to be deployed on UEFI) so let's make sure we
always build it.
This adds an explicit service for initializing the TPM2 SRK. This is
implicitly also done by systemd-cryptsetup, hence strictly speaking
redundant, but doing this early has the benefit that we can parallelize
this in a nicer way. This also write a copy of the SRK public key in PEM
format to /run/ + /var/lib/, thus pinning the disk image to the TPM.
Making the SRK public key is also useful for allowing easy offline
encryption for a specific TPM.
Sooner or later we should probably grow what this service does, the
above is just the first step. For example, the service should probably
offer the ability to reset the TPM (clear the owner hierarchy?) on a
factory reset, if such a policy is needed. And we might want to install
some default AK (?).

The tool initially just measured the boot phase, but was subsequently
extended to measure file system and machine IDs, too. At AllSystemsGo
there were request to add more, and make the tool generically
accessible.
Hence, let's rename the binary (but not the pcrphase services), to make
clear the tool is not just measureing the boot phase, but a lot of other
things too.
The tool is located in /usr/lib/ and still relatively new, hence let's
just rename the binary and be done with it, while keeping the unit names
stable.
While we are at it, also move the tool out of src/boot/ and into its own
src/pcrextend/ dir, since it's not really doing boot related stuff
anymore.
- add reference to the service unit in the man page,
- fix several indentation and typos,
- replace '(uint64_t) -1' with 'UINT64_MAX',
- drop unnecessary 'continue'.
Let's rename the unit to systemd-battery-check.service. We usually want
to name our own unit files like our tools they wrap, in particular if
they are entirely defined by us (i.e. not just wrappers of foreign
concepts)
While we are at it, also hook this in from initrd.target, and order it
against initrd-root-device.target so that it runs before the root device
is possibly written to (i.e. mounted or fsck'ed).
This is heavily inspired by @aafeijoo-suse's PR #28208, but quite
different ;-)
Follow-ups for e3d4148d50.
- add reference to initrd-battery-check.service in man page, and move
its section from 1 to 8,
- add link to man page in help message,
- introduce ERRNO_IS_NO_PLYMOUTH(),
- propagate error in battery_check_send_plymouth_message(),
- rename battery_check_send_plymouth_message() -> plymouth_send_message(),
- return earlier when the first battery level check passed to reduce
indentation,
- fix potential use of invalid fd on battery restored,
- do not use emoji for /dev/console,
- add simple test (mostly for coverity),
etc, etc...
After the commit 7a4ee86161,
sd_journal_next() following sd_journal_seek_tail() takes no-op,
and we need to call sd_journal_previous(). This may be useful in
some cases, e.g. to fix the issue explained in the previous commit.
Before libsystemd-daemon, libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-id128, etc., were
merged into libsystemd, it was enough to have individual man pages for them.
But they have been delivered as one thing for many years, so it's better to
have a landing page for libsystemd. It mostly directs to individual pages
anyway.
I guess it was only a question of time until we need to add the final
frontier of notification functions: one that combines the features of
all the others:
1. specifiying a source PID
2. taking a list of fds to send along
3. accepting a format string for the status string
Hence, let's add it.
