network/address: acquire address in address_process_request()
Previously, if an [Address] section is configured with a null address,
e.g. Address=0.0.0.0/24, then we acquired a free address in
link_request_address().
With this commit, we queue a request with the null address as is, and
acquire a free address later in address_process_request(). Similary,
now IPv4ACD daemon is configured in address_process_request().
With this change, we can make the address acquisition depend on other
conditions, e.g. if the persistent storage is ready or not.
docs: add a new document describing the VM interface of systemd
This mirrors the existing CONTAINER_INTERFACE.md document, but describes
extension points of systemd running in a VM with a machine manager
supervising it.
manager: send an sd_notify() message informing the container manager when systemd's special UNIX signals become available
From the outside it's difficult to determine whether (and when) the PID1
inside a container supports systemd's more complete set of UNIX process
signals or not. Let's make this easier, and simply send a notification
message when we are ready.
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.
core: notify supervisor over targets we reach, as we reach them
Let's inform the the supervisor about various happenings of our service
manager, specifically the boot milestones we reach.
We so far have only a singular READY=1 message, to inform about bootup
completion. But sometimes it is interesting to have something for
finegrained, in particular something that indicates optional components
that have been activated.
Usecase for this: in a later PR I intend to introduce a generic
"ssh.target" that is supposed to be activated when SSH becomes available
on a host. A supervisor (i.e. a VMM/hypervisor/container mgr/…) can
watch for that, and know two things:
1. that SSH is generally available in the system
2. when it is available
In order to not flood the supervisor with events I only send these out
for target units. We could open this up later, in theory, but I think it
makes sense to tell people instead to define clear milestone target
units if they want a supervisor to be able to track system state.
machine-id-setup: inform supervisor about chosen machine ID
Similar as the previous commit, it's useful for a supervisor to know
what machine ID we settlted on, in particular as various other things
are deterministically derived from it, for example MAC addresses and
such.
hostname-setup: send chosen hostname to supervisor via sd_notify()
once we decided on a hostname, let's tell the supervisor about it. This
is useful for example in order to recognize the system via mDNS/LLMNR or
in a DHCP lease.

po: add pkg/debian to POTFILES.skip
Debian packaging includes the exploded tarball, so scripts used to
detect files that should be in POTFILES.in, like intltool-update -m
used on https://l10n.gnome.org/module/systemd/, falsely detect its
files as needed to be translated. Avoid this behavior by putting
the whole submodule in POTFILES.skip.
"Starting Boot Control…" would be a fairly confusing message in the boot logs.
Use "… Service" to mirror what we have in other services like
systemd-{hostnamed,timedated,portabled,machined,…}.service.
We generally don't specify the protocol implementation in unit descriptions.
For journald, we have:
$ git grep Description 'units/*journald*'
units/systemd-journald-audit.socket:Description=Journal Audit Socket
units/systemd-journald-dev-log.socket:Description=Journal Socket (/dev/log)
units/systemd-journald-varlink@.socket:Description=Journal Varlink Socket for Namespace %i
units/systemd-journald.service.in:Description=Journal Service
units/systemd-journald.socket:Description=Journal Sockets
units/systemd-journald@.service.in:Description=Journal Service for Namespace %i
units/systemd-journald@.socket:Description=Journal Sockets for Namespace %i
so we need to keep "Varlink" in the name. But also use "Sockets" (plural)
for the "main" socket unit, since it opens multiple sockets.
I was looking at the logs in some bug and saw this:
Mar 13 15:55:12 fedora systemd[1]: systemd-pcrmachine.service - TPM2 PCR Machine ID Measurement was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionSecurity=measured-uki).
Mar 13 15:55:12 fedora systemd[1]: Starting systemd-remount-fs.service - Remount Root and Kernel File Systems...
Mar 13 15:55:12 fedora systemd[1]: systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service - TPM2 SRK Setup (Early) was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionSecurity=measured-uki).
This is overly technical, for most units we don't provide this level of
detail about the implementation. So retitle the units to be more accessible.
Also, the fact that it's a v. 2 of the TPM is not that important. We don't
support TPM 1.2, but computers without TPM v2 are getting rare. For other
units we don't advertise the version of hardware, and let's not do this here,
to reduce some complexity.

mkosi: Enable KVM
Since https://github.blog/2024-01-17-github-hosted-runners-double-the-power-for-open-source/,
it seems that KVM is supported on GA runners, so let's explicitly
enable it to make sure it is used.
We update mkosi to latest and set QemuFirmware=uefi to disable
secure boot which crashes qemu until https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2038777
is fixed.
The branch with configure_file() was broken: meson doesn't know that
this file is a prerequisite for other targets, so partial rebuilds were broken.
Easy reproducer:
git mv .git{,.no}
touch meson build && ninja -C build src/basic/libbasic.a
rm build/version.h
ninja -C build src/basic/libbasic.a
Using vcs_tag() also in that case makes meson always build the file.
(Combined with the issue fixed in previous commit, I was encountering
failed builds quite often.)
With git-worktree, .git is just a file that specifies where
the parent git directory is. All the git information is available
in a git worktree, so it should be treated the same as a checkout
with a .git directory.
