many: final final set of coccinelle check-pointer-deref tweaks (#41595)
I promised in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41426 that its the
final update for coccinelle pointer deref checks. However it turned out
there is this coccinelle/parsing_hacks.h that I wasn't aware of. The
file missed some important things like _cleanup_(x) that prevented
coccinelle to check a bunch of functions.
This PR adds some missing defines to the parsing_hacks.h and fixes the
missing asserts(). I apologize that its a bit long (and frankly boring)
and that I missed this earlier.
The last commit contains one small behavior change (ret in
sd_varlink_idl_parse() is now really optional) but the big one is very
mechanical.
This is useful when moving from `--pty` or `--pipe` to using
`--verbose`: you can use `--verbose-output=cat` to get similar output on
stdout while still having all of the advantages of `--verbose` over the
other options.

journal: limit decompress_blob() output to DATA_SIZE_MAX (#41604)
We already have checks in place during compression that limit the data
we compress, so they shouldn't decompress to anything larger than
DATA_SIZE_MAX unless they've been tampered with. Let's make this

code to that limit.
One possible scenario this should prevent is when one tries to open and

systemctl: replace kexec-tools dependency with direct kexec_file_load() syscall
Replace the fork+exec of /usr/bin/kexec in load_kexec_kernel() with a
direct kexec_file_load() syscall, removing the runtime dependency on
kexec-tools for systemctl kexec.
The kexec_file_load() syscall (available since Linux 3.17) accepts
kernel and initrd file descriptors directly, letting the kernel handle
image parsing, segment setup, and purgatory internally. This is much
simpler than the older kexec_load() syscall which requires complex
userspace setup of memory segments and boot protocol structures — that
complexity is the raison d'être of kexec-tools.
The implementation follows the established libc wrapper pattern: a
missing_kexec_file_load() fallback in src/libc/kexec.c calls the
syscall directly when glibc doesn't provide a wrapper (which is
currently always the case). The syscall is not available on all
architectures — alpha, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, sh, and sparc lack
__NR_kexec_file_load — so the wrapper and caller are guarded with
HAVE_KEXEC_FILE_LOAD_SYSCALL to compile cleanly everywhere.
When kexec_file_load() rejects the kernel image with ENOEXEC (e.g. the
image is compressed or wrapped in a PE container that the kernel's kexec
handler doesn't understand natively), we attempt to unwrap/decompress
and retry. This is effectively the same decompression and extraction
logic that already lives in src/ukify/ukify.py (maybe_decompress() and
get_zboot_kernel()), now implemented in C so that systemctl can handle
it natively without shelling out to external tools:
- Compressed kernels (Image.gz, Image.zst, Image.xz, Image.lz4): the
format is detected by magic bytes (per RFC 1952, RFC 8878,
tukaani.org xz spec, and lz4 frame format spec) and decompressed to
a memfd using the existing decompress_stream_*() infrastructure plus
the new gzip support from the previous commit. This is primarily
needed on arm64 where kexec_file_load() only accepts raw Image files.
On x86_64, bzImage is already the native format and works directly.
- EFI ZBOOT PE images (vmlinuz.efi): detected by "MZ" + "zimg" magic
at the start of the file. The compressed payload offset, size, and
compression type are read from the ZBOOT header defined in
linux/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/zboot-header.S.
- Unified Kernel Images (UKI): detected as PE files with a .linux
section via the existing pe_is_uki() infrastructure. The .linux
section (kernel) and optionally .initrd section are extracted to
memfds. When a UKI provides an embedded initrd and the boot entry
doesn't specify one separately, the embedded initrd is used.
The try-first-then-decompress approach means we never decompress
unnecessarily: on x86_64 the first kexec_file_load() call succeeds
immediately with the raw bzImage, and on architectures where the
kernel's kexec handler natively understands PE (like LoongArch with
kexec_efi_ops), ZBOOT/UKI images work without decompression too.
If kexec_file_load() is unavailable (architectures without the syscall)
or all attempts fail, we fall back to forking+execing the kexec binary.
This preserves compatibility on architectures like i386 and mips where
only the older kexec_load() syscall exists and kexec-tools is needed to
handle the complex userspace setup.

core: varlink enum for io.systemd.Unit interface (#40972)
Convert string fields to varlink enums in io.systemd.Unit
Following
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/39391#discussion_r2489599449,
convert all configuration setting fields in the io.systemd.Unit varlink
interface from bare SD_VARLINK_STRING to proper enum types, adding type
safety to the IDL.
This converts ~30 fields across ExecContext, CGroupContext, and
UnitContext, adding 25 new varlink enum types.
Weak compatibility breakage (per
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40972#issuecomment-4222294318):
Varlink enum identifiers cannot contain - or +, so affected values are
underscorified on the wire. For example, "tty-force" becomes tty_force,
"kmsg+console" becomes kmsg_console.

debug-generator: assert breakpoint type is valid before bit shift
The BreakpointType enum includes _BREAKPOINT_TYPE_INVALID (-EINVAL),

amount. Add an assert to verify the type is in valid range, since the

Coverity flags range->n_entries - j as a potential underflow

tools: run check-coccinelle.sh with (updated) parsing_hacks.h
This commit runs the check-coccinelle checker scripts with the

issues that did not get flagged.
While at it it also adds some missing cleanup attributes and
iterators to get better results. Its a bit sad that there is no
(easy/obvious) way to detect when new things are needed for
parsing_hacks.h
Coverity was complaining that we we're doing a integer division and then
casting that to double. This was OK, but it was also a bit pointless.
An operation on a double and unsigned promoted the unsigned to a double,
so it's enough if we have a double somewhere as an argument early enough.
Drop noop casts and parens to make the formulas easier to read.
Sometimes we want need to diff two unsigned numbers, which is awkward
because we need to cast them to something with a sign first, if we want
to use abs(). Let's add a helper that avoids the function call
altogether.
Also drop unnecessary parens arounds args which are delimited by commas.
Coverity complains that r is overridden. In fact it isn't, but
we shouldn't set it like this anyway. exec_with_listen_fds() already
logs, so we only need to call _exit() if it fails.
importctl: fix -N to actually clear keep-download flag
-N was clearing and re-setting the same bit in arg_import_flags_mask,
which is a no-op. It should clear the bit in arg_import_flags instead,
matching what --keep-download=no does via SET_FLAG().
shared/verbs: add _SCOPE variants of the verb macros
In some of the large programs, verbs are defined as non-static
functions. To support this cases, add variants of the VERB macros that
take an explicit scope parameter. The existing macros then call those
new macros with scope=static. The variant without static is the
exception, so the macros are "optimized" toward the static helpers.
I also considered allowing VERB macros to be used in different files,
i.e. in different compilation units. This would actually work without
too many changes, except for one caveat: the order in the array would be
unspecified, so we'd need to somehow order the verbs appropriately. This
most likely means that the verbs would need to be annotated with a
number. But that doesn't seem attractive at all: we'd need to coordinate
changes in different files. So just listing the verbs in one file seems
like least bad option.
shared/options: add option to generate a help line for custom option format
Sometimes we want to document what -RR or -vv does or some other
special thing. Let's allow this by (ab-)using long_code pointer
to store a preformatted string.
json-stream: fix NULL pointer passed to memcpy on first read with INPUT_SENSITIVE
When JSON_STREAM_INPUT_SENSITIVE is set before the first read,
input_buffer is NULL, input_buffer_size is 0, and input_buffer_index
is 0. The old condition '!INPUT_SENSITIVE && index == 0' would route
this case into the else branch which calls memcpy() with a NULL source
pointer, which is undefined behavior even when the length is zero, and
is caught by UBSan.
Fix by checking input_buffer_index == 0 first, then allowing the
GREEDY_REALLOC fast path also when input_buffer_size == 0, since
there is no sensitive data to protect from realloc() copying in that
case. The else branch is now only entered when there is actual data
to copy (input_buffer_size > 0), guaranteeing input_buffer is
non-NULL.
core: fix EBUSY on restart and clean of delegated services
When a service is configured with Delegate=yes and DelegateSubgroup=sub,
the delegated container may write domain controllers (e.g. "pids") into the
service cgroup's cgroup.subtree_control via its cgroupns root. On container
exit the stale controllers remain, and on service restart clone3() with
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP fails with EBUSY because placing a process into a cgroup
that has domain controllers in subtree_control violates the no-internal-
processes rule. The same issue affects systemctl clean, where cg_attach()
fails with EBUSY for the same reason.
Add unit_cgroup_disable_all_controllers() helper in cgroup.c that clears
stale controllers via cg_enable(mask=0) and updates cgroup_enabled_mask to
keep internal tracking in sync. Call it from service_start() and
service_clean() right before spawning, so that resource control is preserved
for any lingering processes from the previous invocation as long as possible.
sd-json: add JsonStream transport-layer module and migrate sd-varlink
Introduces JsonStream, a generic transport layer for JSON-line message
exchange over a pair of file descriptors. It owns the input/output
buffers, SCM_RIGHTS fd passing, the deferred output queue, the
read/write/parse step functions, sd-event integration (input/output/time
event sources), the idle timeout machinery, and peer credential caching,
but knows nothing about the specific JSON protocol on top — the consumer
drives its state machine via phase/dispatch callbacks supplied at
construction.
sd-varlink is reworked to delegate the entire transport layer to a
JsonStream owned by sd_varlink. The varlink struct drops every
transport-related field (input/output buffers and fds, output queue,
fd-passing state, ucred/pidfd cache, prefer_read/write fallback, idle
timeout, description, event sources) — all of that lives in JsonStream
now. What remains in sd_varlink is the varlink-protocol state machine
(state, n_pending, current/previous/sentinel, server linkage, peer
credentials accounting, exec_pidref, the varlink-specific quit and defer
sources) and a thin wrapper layer over the JsonStream API. The
should_disconnect / get_timeout / get_events / wait helpers all live in
JsonStream now and are driven by a JsonStreamPhase the consumer reports
via its phase callback.

bash/grep/sed commands, duplicating the agents' work. Add instruction to
trust subagent findings and only read pr-context.json in phase 2.
- Subagents returned markdown-wrapped JSON instead of raw JSON arrays. Add
instruction requiring raw JSON output only.
- Each subagent was independently reading review-schema.json. Instead have
the main agent read it once and paste it into each subagent prompt.
- The "drop low-confidence findings" instruction was being used to justify
dropping findings that Claude itself acknowledged as valid ("solid cleanup
suggestions", "reasonable consistency improvement"). Remove the instruction.
- Simplify the deduplication instructions
- Stop adding the severity to the body in the post processing job as claude is
also adding it so they end up duplicated.

resolved: skip cache flush on server switch/re-probe when StaleRetentionSec is set
manager_set_dns_server() and dns_server_flush_cache() call dns_cache_flush()
unconditionally, wiping the entire cache even when StaleRetentionSec is
configured. This defeats serve-stale by discarding cached records that should
remain available during server switches and feature-level re-probes.
The original serve-stale commit (5ed91481ab) added a stale_retention_usec
guard to link_set_dns_server(), and a later commit (7928c0e0a1) added the
same guard to dns_delegate_set_dns_server(), but these two call sites in
resolved-dns-server.c were missed.
This is particularly visible with DNSOverTLS, where TLS handshake failures
trigger frequent feature-level downgrades and re-probes via
dns_server_flush_cache(), flushing the cache each time.
Add the same stale_retention_usec guard to both call sites so that cache
entries are allowed to expire naturally via dns_cache_prune() when
serve-stale is enabled.

report: add cgroup metrics in a separate varlink service
Add CpuUsage, MemoryUsage, IOReadBytes, IOReadOperations, and
TasksCurrent in a standalone socket-activated varlink service.
The new systemd-report-cgroup service listens at
/run/systemd/report/io.systemd.CGroup and exposes:
- io.systemd.CGroup.CpuUsage
- io.systemd.CGroup.IOReadBytes
- io.systemd.CGroup.IOReadOperations
- io.systemd.CGroup.MemoryUsage (with type=current/available/peak)
- io.systemd.CGroup.TasksCurrent
Multiple callers of cg_get_keyed_attribute() follow the same pattern of
reading a single keyed attribute and then parsing it as uint64_t with
safe_atou64(). Add a helper that combines both steps.
Convert all existing single-key + uint64 call sites in cgtop, cgroup.c,
and oomd-util.c to use the new helper.
