gpt: Introduce function to convert verity hash or sig to data partition
Let's rename the existing partition_verity_to_data() to
partition_verity_hash_to_data() and make a new partition_verity_to_data() that
handles both verity hash and verity signature partitions.
Currently it's next to impossible to find out why dissect_image()
has failed with EADDRNOTAVAIL, so let's add debug logging and use
EREMOTE for the different architectures error to help out with
debugging a bit.
mountfsd: slightly relax restrictions on dir fds to mount
When establishing a idmapped mount for a directory with foreign mapping
we so far insisted in the dir being properly opened (i.e. via a
non-O_PATH fd) being passed to mountfsd. This is problematic however,
since the client might not actually be able to open the dir (which after
all is owned by the foreign UID, not by the user). Hence, let's relax
the rules, and accept an O_PATH fd too (which the client can get even
without privs). This should be safe, since the load-bearing security
check is whether the dir has a parent owned by the client's UID, and
for that check O_PATH or not O_PATH is not relevant.
It mostly introduces the "chrome" stuff that puts a blue at the top of
bottom of the terminal screen when going through interactive tools such
as firstboot, homed-firstboot, and (in future) systemd-sysinstall).
it also introduces a generic "prompt_loop()" helper thatn queries the
user for some option in a loop until the rsponse matches certain
requirements. It's a generalization of a function of the same name that
so far only existed in firstboot.c. The more generic version will be
reused in a later PR by homed-firstboot and by sysinstall.
prompt-util: add helpers that paint some "chrome" on top/bottom of screen
We'll soon have three different kind of interactive "wizard"-like console
UIs: systemd-firstboot, homectl firstboot and soon systemd-sysinstall.
Let's give them a limited, recognizable visual identity, to distinguish
them from the usual console output: let's add a bit of "chrome" to the
top and bottom of the screen, that we show during ther wizards, but hide
again afterwards.
This makes use of the DECSTBM sequence that reduces the scrolling area
by chopping off blocks from the top or bottom of the screen. The
sequence is quite standard, given it has been part of VT100 already.
xterm, vte, Linux console all support it just fine.
machined: add PIDFD D-Bus variants for registering/creating machines
Current methods take a numeric PID, but we know that is unreliable for
the usual reasons. Add variants that take a PIDFD instead, or a
PID + PIDFDID combination for remote users.
boot: let's make the one space we output early on invisible
let's place the cursor at the beginning of the line before/after, so we
know it's the first char we overwrite, and we return to the front again
right after.
boot: work around ansi color issues between sd-boot, uefi and terminals
So, UEFI's color texting is a bit weird. It translates everything to
ANSI sequences, but unlike ANSI sequences it has no understanding of a
distinct "default" bg/fg color, it assumes the ansi color "0" is always
equal to white on black, but that's of course not really true, most
terminal emulators at the very least support white background too.
tianocore then also tries to be smart and suppresses ANSI color changes
from a color to itself. But if the understanding of the color is wrong
in the first place, then any color change suppression like this hurts
more than it helps.
Then in addition there are certain terminal tools that will reset the bg
color on every line break ("less" for example) to the default.
Let's deal with that and improve the situation on all fronts:
1. force out color changes by doing two color changes whenever we really
want it.
2. on every newline force out the color change again.
with this in place, using sd-boot on a terminal emulator is a lot nicer.
This also drops space between number and 's', like we do in format_timespan(),
and fixes spurious type mismatch between timeout_sec and timeout_remain.
measure: strip tpm 1.x remnants and make GetActivePcrBanks() work (#39089)
Let's never bother with old TPM 1.x structures, they are not mentioned
in the TCG for TPM2 spec at all. However, the spec does say we should
check the Size field of the relevant structs, before accessing them,
hence do that.
Use that to determine the version of the protocol, before accessing
GetActiveBanks().
udev-builtin-net_id: Add DeviceTree-based names for WLAN devices (#39060)
Add support for generating names like wldN based on DeviceTree aliases.
DeviceTree alias names follow de facto conventions. As of writing, there
are so far two ways WLAN devices are represented in DeviceTree aliases
in upstream Linux DTS files:
- Firstly, as wifi0, used for example in t600x-j314-j316.dtsi
- Secondly, as ethernet0 or ethernet1, used for example in
sun8i-q8-common.dtsi, with a comment saying the reason is to "Make
u-boot set mac-address for wifi without an eeprom"
So we need to handle both while generating names. Refactor most of the
logic in names_devicetree() into a helper
names_devicetree_alias_prefix() that takes an alias_prefix instead of
hardcoding "ethernet", and, in the new names_devicetree():
- For prefix "en", use alias_prefix "ethernet"
- For prefix "wl", try alias_prefix "wifi" first, and if that was not
found, fall back to alias_prefix "ethernet"
Since this is a naming scheme change, also gate this behind
NAMING_DEVICETREE_ALIASES_WLAN and NAMING_V259, and document this
change.
I initially didn't think it would be worth doing this, but I changed my
mind. People out there quite successfully build systemd without ACL
support, and that suggests life without it is quite possible. Moreover
we only use it as very specific places:
1. in udev/logind for "uaccess" mgmt
2. in tmpfiles to implement explicitly configured acl changes
3. in journald/coredump/pstore to manage access to unpriv users
4. in pid1 to manage access to credential files
5. when shifting UIDs of container trees
I specific container environments it should be entirely fine to live without all
of these, hence let's pull this in on demand only.

On older versions, if the flag is anything other than AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW,
it returns EINVAL, so we can detect it and call the kernel syscall directly
ourselves.
Using the glibc wrappers when possible is prefereable so that programs
like fakeroot can intercept its calls and redirect them.
Since there have been disagreements on certain aspects of the technical
direction, let's clear things up, and introduce a governance document,
taking inspiration from:

Refactor most of the logic in names_devicetree() into a helper
names_devicetree_alias_prefix() that takes an alias_prefix instead of
hardcoding "ethernet".
The return value names_devicetree_alias_prefix() will be used in further
commits to allow for alias_prefix fallback.
This also makes shebang always use env command, and drops unnecessary
'bash -c' or 'sh -c' when a signle command is invoked in the shell,
like sleep or echo.
In the commit c960ca2be1cfd183675df581f049a0c022c1c802, the logic of
updating ACL on device node was moved from logind to udevd, but at that
time, mistakenly removed the logic for static nodes.

boot: add support for overriding key enrollement timeout
Currently, a 15-second timeout is hardcoded for the key enrollment

Block devices with removable media (e.g. SD card readers) indicate a

that carry no medium currently.
In systemd <= 257, each set_audit tristate value had special meaning,
- true: enable the kernel audit subsystem,
- false: disable the kernel audit subsystem,
- negative: keep the current kernel audit subsystem state.
And the default is true, rather than negative. So, users sometimes
explicitly pass an empty string to Audit= setting to keep the state.
But since f48cf2a96dfdc23fe30ba0f870125fe55cab64c7 (v258), the negative
value is mistakenly used as 'really unspecified' even if an empty string
is explicitly specified.
This makes negative values handled as unspecified as usual, and assign a new
positive value AUDIT_KEEP for when an empty string is explicitly specified.
Also, make the Audit= setting accept "keep" setting, and suggest to use "keep"
rather than an empty string.

Let's do a "soft" reset of the TTY when a ptyfwd session ends. This is a
good idea, in order to reset changes to the scrolling window that code
inside the session might have made. A "soft" reset will undo this.
While we are at it, make sure to output the ansi sequences for this
*after* terminating any half-written line, as that is still somewhat
contents of the session, even if it's augmented.
UID entry in the machine state file is introduced in v258,
hence when a host is upgraded to v258, the field does not exist in the
file, thus the variable 'uid' is NULL.
For the case that sys/stat.h is not included indirectly by other headers.

We update BOOTX64.EFI explicitly once (because we know that it's the
main entry point of UEFI) and then a second time when we update
everything in $ESP/EFI/*.EFI. That's redundant and pretty ugly/confusing
in the log output. Hence exclude the file we already updated explicitly
from the 2nd run.
bootctl: downgrade messages about foreign EFI files
Given that we iterate through $ESP/EFI/BOOT/*.EFI these days this is a
pretty common case, hence it's not really noteworthy, hence downgrade
these log messages from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_INFO.
bootctl: switch a few getenv() calls to secure_getenv()
Following the rule that we should always prefer the secure flavour over
the regular one unless there's a clear reason for the regular one, let's
switch this over. Better safe than sorry.
