* | ssh-generator: introduce ssh-access.targetLennart Poettering2024-03-141-0/+14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | This new passive target is supposed to be pulled in by SSH implementations and should be reached when remote SSH access is possible. The idea is that this target can be used as indicator for other components to determine if and when SSH access is possible. One specific usecase for this is the new sd_notify() logic in PID 1 that sends its own supervisor notifications whenever target units are reached. This can be used to precisely schedule SSH connections from host to VM/container, or just to identify systems where SSH is even available.
* units: add a tpm2.target synchronization point and small generator that pulls inLennart Poettering2024-01-031-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more robust, and here is the result. Follow up to ec07c3c80b2b1bfa6788500202006ff85f5ae4f4

* tree-wide: use the term "initrd" at most places we so far used "initramfs"Lennart Poettering2022-09-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | In most cases we refernced the concept as "initrd". Let's convert most remaining uses of "initramfs" to "initrd" too, to stay internally consistent. This leaves "initramfs" only where it's relevant to explain historical concepts or where "initramfs" is part of the API (i.e. in /run/initramfs).

* Add stand-alone dm-integrity supportTony Asleson2021-10-151-0/+2

* veritysetup-generator: add support for veritytabGaël PORTAY2021-01-151-2/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the support for veritytab. The veritytab file contains at most five fields, the first four are mandatory, the last one is optional: - The first field contains the name of the resulting verity volume; its block device is set up /dev/mapper/</filename>. - The second field contains a path to the underlying block data device, or a specification of a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID. - The third field contains a path to the underlying block hash device, or a specification of a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID. - The fourth field is the roothash in hexadecimal. - The fifth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of options. The following options are recognized only: ignore-corruption, restart-on-corruption, panic-on-corruption, ignore-zero-blocks, check-at-most-once and root-hash-signature. The others options will be implemented later. Also, this adds support for the new kernel verity command line boolean option "veritytab" which enables the read for veritytab, and the new environment variable SYSTEMD_VERITYTAB which sets the path to the file veritytab to read.

* man: Advertise systemd-time-wait-sync.service more (#17729)Alexander Batischev2020-12-191-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * man: Advertise systemd-time-wait-sync.service more The description of time-sync.target says that NTP services *should* pull that target, but doesn't mention that e.g. systemd-timesyncd.service doesn't actually do that. As a result, time-sync.target is reached way earlier than people expect; see #5097, #8861, #11008. systemd provides systemd-time-wait-sync.service to ameliorate this problem, but doesn't feature it prominently in relevant manpages. In fact, it's only mentioned in passing in systemd-timesyncd.service(8). As a result, I ended up re-implementing that service, and I'm not the first one: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/51338 This patch adds a mention right in the description of time-sync.target, which will hopefully raise awareness of this helper service.

* | Revert "units: add initrd-cryptsetup.target"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-10-271-17/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 6c5496c492a8d74e54d22bf8824160cab1e63c10. sysinit.target is shared between the initrd and the host system. Pulling in initrd-cryptsetup.target into sysinit.target causes the following warning at boot: Oct 27 10:42:30 workstation-uefi systemd[1]: initrd-cryptsetup.target: Starting requested but asserts failed. Oct 27 10:42:30 workstation-uefi systemd[1]: Assertion failed for initrd-cryptsetup.target.
* units: add initrd-cryptsetup.targetJonathan Lebon2020-10-211-4/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For encrypted block devices that we need to unlock from the initramfs, we currently rely on dracut shipping `cryptsetup.target`. This works, but doesn't cover the case where the encrypted block device requires networking (i.e. the `remote-cryptsetup.target` version). That target however is traditionally dynamically enabled. Instead, let's rework things here by adding a `initrd-cryptsetup.target` specifically for initramfs encrypted block device setup. This plays the role of both `cryptsetup.target` and `remote-cryptsetup.target` in the initramfs. Then, adapt `systemd-cryptsetup-generator` to hook all generated services to this new unit when running from the initrd. This is analogous to `systemd-fstab-generator` hooking all mounts to `initrd-fs.target`, regardless of whether they're network-backed or not.
* units: add first-boot-complete.target for first boot orderingHarald Seiler2020-10-191-0/+12
| | | | | | | Add a new target for synchronizing units that wish to run once during the first boot of the system. The machine-id will be committed to disk only after the target has been reached, thus ensuring that all units ordered before it had a chance to complete.

* man: add note that emergency.target inherits mount stateZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-06-021-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on an internal discussion whether emergency.target should remount disks ro, or maybe remount them rw, or do nothing. In some cases people want to boot ro, and always remounting rw would break that. In other cases, remounting disks ro after they have already been mounted rw is mostly pointless and might even not be possible. So let's just document that we don't change the state. Also: any→other, since emergency.service *is* pulled in. Also: just advertise "emergency" as the way to boot into the target. We are not going to remove this option, and it's way easier to type than "systemd.unit=emergency.target".

* xdg-autostart-generator: Add a generator for XDG autostart filesBenjamin Berg2020-05-271-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This generator can be used by desktop environments to launch autostart applications and services. The feature is an opt-in, triggered by xdg-desktop-autostart.target being activated. Also included is the new binary xdg-autostart-condition. This binary is used as an ExecCondition to test the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn XDG desktop file keys. These need to be evaluated against the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable which may not be known at generation time. Co-authored-by: Henri Chain <henri.chain@enioka.com>

| | | | | | | | | | Discussed in #13743, the -.service semantic conflicts with the existing root mount and slice names, making this feature not uniformly extensible to all types. Change the name to be <type>.d instead. Updating to this format also extends the top-level dropin to unit types.

* units: add time-set.targetPeter A. Bigot2019-04-081-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | time-sync.target is supposed to indicate system clock is synchronized with a remote clock, but as used through 241 it only provided a system clock that was updated based on a locally-maintained timestamp. Systems that are powered off for extended periods would not come up with accurate time. Retain the existing behavior using a new time-set.target leaving time-sync.target for cases where accuracy is required. Closes #8861
