This check was added in d904afc730268d50502f764dfd55b8cf4906c46f. It would only
apply in the case where the cache hasn't been loaded yet. I think we pretty
much always have the cache loaded when we reach this point, but even if we
didn't, it seems better to try to reload the unit. So let's drop this check.
pid1: use the cache mtime not clock to "mark" load attempts
We really only care if the cache has been reloaded between the time when we
last attempted to load this unit and now. So instead of recording the actual
time we try to load the unit, just store the timestamp of the cache. This has
the advantage that we'll notice if the cache mtime jumps forward or backward.
Also rename fragment_loadtime to fragment_not_found_time. It only gets set when
we failed to load the unit and the old name was suggesting it is always set.
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1871327
(and most likely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1867930
and most likely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1872068) we try
to load a non-existent unit over and over from transaction_add_job_and_dependencies().
My understanding is that the clock was in the future during inital boot,
so cache_mtime is always in the future (since we don't touch the fs after initial boot),
so no matter how many times we try to load the unit and set
fragment_loadtime / fragment_not_found_time, it is always higher than cache_mtime,
so manager_unit_cache_should_retry_load() always returns true.
The name is misleading, since we aren't really loading the unit from cache — if
this function returns true, we'll try to load the unit from disk, updating the
cache in the process.

hwdb: fix size lenovo x240 touchpad (#16871)
As discussed in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/521, it adds a narrower
match that only applies to X240. Other laptops that match `pvrThinkPad??40` are not affected:
This makes use of the developer mode switch: the test is only done
if the user opted-in into developer mode.
Before the man/update-dbus-docs was using the argument form where
we don't need to run find_command(), but that doesn't work with test(),,
so find_command() is used and we get one more line in the config log.
tests/TEST-50: support the case when /etc/os-release is present
We have four legal cases:
1. /usr/lib/os-release exists and /etc/os-release is a symlink to it
2. both exist but /etc/os-release is not a symlink to /usr/lib/os-release
3. only /usr/lib/os-release exists
4. only /etc/os-release exists
The generic setup code in test-functions and create-busybox-image didn't handle
case 3.
The test-specific code in TEST-50 didn't handle 2 (because the general setup
code would only install /etc/os-release in the image and
grep -f /usr/lib/os-release would not work) and 4 (same reason) and would fail
in case 3 in generic setup.

path: Improve $PATH search directory case
Previously:
1. last_error wouldn't be updated with errors from is_dir;
2. We'd always issue a stat(), even for binaries without execute;
3. We used stat() instead of access(), which is cheaper.
This change avoids all of those, by only checking inside X_OK-positive
case whether access() works on the path with an extra slash appended.
Thanks to Lennart for the suggestion.
resolved: add minimal varlink api for resolving hostnames/addresses
This allows us to later port nss-resolve to use Varlink rather than
D-Bus for resolution. This has the benefit that nss-resolve based
resoluton works even without D-Bus being up. And it's faster too.
Let's prepare for adding a new varlink interface, and thus rename the
"request" field to "bus_request", so that we can later add a
varlink_request field too.
in-addr-util: add byte accessor array to union in_addr_union
It's pretty useful to be able to access the bytes generically, without
acknowledging a specific family, hence let's a third way to access an
in_addr_union.
% systemd-run --user --scope echo .
Running scope as unit: run-rcbe9369537ed47f282ee12ce9f692046.scope
Failed to execute: Permission denied
We check whether the resulting file is executable for the performing
user, but of course, most directories are anyway, since that's needed to
list within it. As such, another is_dir() check is needed prior to
considering the search result final.
Another approach might be to check S_ISREG, but there may be more gnarly
edge cases there than just eliminating this obviously pathological
example, so let's just do this for now.
core: hide /run/credentials whenever namespacing is requested
Ideally we would like to hide all other service's credentials for all
services. That would imply for us to enable mount namespacing for all
services, which is something we cannot do, both due to compatibility
with the status quo ante, and because a number of services legitimately
should be able to install mounts in the host hierarchy.
Hence we do the second best thing, we hide the credentials automatically
for all services that opt into mount namespacing otherwise. This is
quite different from other mount sandboxing options: usually you have to
explicitly opt into each. However, given that the credentials logic is a
brand new concept we invented right here and now, and particularly
security sensitive it's OK to reverse this, and by default hide
credentials whenever we can (i.e. whenever mount namespacing is
otherwise opt-ed in to).
Long story short: if you want to hide other service's credentials, the
most basic options is to just turn on PrivateMounts= and there you go,
they should all be gone.
When removing a directory tree as unprivileged user we might encounter
files owned by us but not deletable since the containing directory might
have the "r" bit missing in its access mode. Let's try to deal with
this: optionally if we get EACCES try to set the bit and see if it works
then.
homed: mark LUKS loopback file as "dirty" via xattr when in use
Let's track the "dirty" state of a home directory backed by a LUKS
volume by setting a new xattr "home.home-dirty" on the backing file
whenever it is in use.
This allows us to later user this information to show a home directory
as "dirty". This is useful because we trim/allocate on log-out, and
if we don't do that a home directory will be larger than necessary. This
fact is something we should communicate to the admin.
The idea is that when an admin sees a user with a "dirty" home directory
they can ask them to log in, to clean up the dirty state, and thus trim
everything again.
For discussion around this see: https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/82
Recovery keys for homed are very similar to regular passwords, except
that they are exclusively generated by the computer, and not chosen by
the user. The idea is that they are printed or otherwise stored
externally and not what users type in every day.
Taking inspiration from Windows and MacOS this uses 256bit keys. We
format them in 64 yubikey modhex characters, in groups of 8 chars
separated by dashes.
Why yubikey modhex? modhex only uses characters that are are located at
the same place in western keyboard designs. This should reduce the
chance for incorrect inputs for a major chunk of our users, though
certainly not all. This is particular relevant during early boot and
recovery situations, where there's a good chance the keyboard mapping is
not correctly set up.
It appears LOOP_CONFIGURE in 5.8 is even more broken than initially
thought: it doesn't properly propgate lo_sizelimit to the block device
layer. :-(
Let's hence check the block device size immediately after issuing
LOOP_CONFIGURE, and if it doesn't match what we just set let's fallback
to the old ioctls.
This means LOOP_CONFIGURE currently works correctly only for the most
simply case: no partition table logic and no size limit. Sad!
(Kernel people should really be told about the concepts of tests and
even CI, one day!)
repart: if --size= is specified as "auto" determine minimal size for disk image
When assembling a disk image locally, using --size=auto can be used to
generate the minimal image based on the provided definitions. THis is
useful to prepare images that are grown on first boot.
