shared/copy: simplify argument convention for reflink_range
reflink_range() would treat size==UINT64_MAX as "copy everything", but
only if the offsets were 0. There are only two callers: one always passes
a fixed size, the other translated size==UINT64_MAX to 0. Make things
more uniform by always treating size==UINT64_MAX the same as size==0.
Reflinking is a safe optimization whenever the source and destination are
regular, seekable files on a filesystem that supports cloning. Requiring each
caller to opt in through COPY_REFLINK adds flag plumbing without changing the
necessary fallback behavior.
Drop COPY_REFLINK, renumber the remaining flags, and have copy_bytes_full()
unconditionally try FICLONE or FICLONERANGE before entering its normal copy
loop. Isolate the clone attempt and its file-offset bookkeeping in a helper so
copy_bytes_full() only has to handle its cloned, unavailable, and error results.
A successful clone therefore completes in one operation, while an unsupported
or rejected clone falls back to progress-limited copy_file_range(), sendfile(),
or buffered copying. Keep the public reflink helpers for operations that
specifically require clone semantics.
Existing test-copy coverage exercises both bounded and unbounded regular-file
copies through copy_bytes_full().
systemd-repart currently forces newly created image files into NOCOW mode.
That prevents files from being reflinked into the image, making image builds
slower and increasing their disk usage on filesystems that support cloning.
Add a tristate --cow= option. By default, leave the filesystem or parent
directory COW policy unchanged. With --cow=yes, explicitly enable COW; with
--cow=no, retain the previous behavior of forcing NOCOW. Add XO_COW as the
counterpart to XO_NOCOW so xopenat_full() applies either policy while retaining
its normal creation-error cleanup.
Document the new option and extend TEST-58-REPART to verify inherited COW and
NOCOW policies as well as explicit COW and NOCOW overrides. Compare the unset
behavior with the filesystem default so the test also works on nodatacow
mounts, and skip it when the inode attribute is unsupported.
Commit 04f19d673587 ("udev: Add /dev/media/by-path symlinks for media
controllers") added the rule file and the feature was announced in the
v256 NEWS, but the file was never added to the rules.d/meson.build
install list, so no build has ever shipped it and the advertised
/dev/media/by-path/ symlinks are never created.
sd-dhcp-relay: fix off-by-one when discarding BOOTREQUEST messages by hops count
According to RFC specifications
```
RFC 1542 section 4.1.1 states:
The relay agent MUST silently discard BOOTREQUEST messages whose 'hops'
field exceeds the value 16."
```
"Exceeds the value 16" means hops > 16, i.e. a message that arrives with
hops == 16 is still valid and must be relayed (after which its hops field
becomes 17). The code used ">= 16", which silently dropped a valid message
that had legitimately traversed exactly 16 relay agents, one hop too early.
This matches the wording of the adjacent comment, which already says
"exceeds the value 16".
resolved: fix spurious BrowseServices add/remove flapping with ifindex=0 (#42982)
## Problem
A `BrowseServices` subscription with `"ifindex":0` (browse all
interfaces) receives a continuous flap of `added`/`removed` events for a
service that is still present — within a second, and with no goodbye
packet involved.
## Root cause
For `ifindex==0`, `mdns_browser_revisit_cache()` looked up each mDNS
scope's cache separately and called `mdns_manage_services_answer()`
**once per scope**. That function derives `removed` events by diffing
the browser's *global* discovered-service list (all interfaces, filtered
only by owner family) against the single answer it's handed. So with ≥2
mDNS-relevant interfaces of the same family, a service present on
interface A isn't in interface B's answer and is spuriously removed
while B is reconciled, then re-added on the next revisit tick.
## Fix
Accumulate the pruned cache answers from every matching mDNS scope into
one combined `DnsAnswer` and reconcile **once**, so removals diff the
global list against the union across interfaces. Items are merged with
`dns_answer_add_full()` (not `dns_answer_extend()`, which defaults each
item's `until` to `USEC_INFINITY` and would skew the RFC 6762 §5.2
TTL-maintenance schedule). The single-interface (`ifindex>0`) path is
unchanged.
## Test
`TEST-89-RESOLVED-MDNS.sh` gains `testcase_browse_ifindex_zero_no_flap`:
it adds a service-less dummy mDNS link to guarantee ≥2 same-family
scopes (the flap precondition), browses `ifindex=0`, waits for
discovery, then asserts **zero** `removed` events while every publisher
stays up. The subscription uses `varlinkctl --timeout=infinity`, since
it sits idle after discovery and the default 45s idle timeout would
sever it (and the assertion) mid-observation.
## Testing status
Builds clean; `shellcheck -x` clean. First CI round: `TEST-89`
(including this testcase) passed on all mkosi platforms; the failing
jobs all traced to unrelated flakes/infra.
U-Boot currently does not implement EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PROTOCOL
even when reporting EFI version >= 2.10. Consequently, systemd-boot
emits a warning on every boot when running on U-Boot firmware.
The absence of EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PROTOCOL is a current
U-Boot limitation and not a condition users can remedy.
Furthermore, the EFI specification does not require all
firmware advertising EFI 2.10 or newer to implement the
protocol. As a result, the warning provides little value on
U-Boot systems while causing log_wait() to impose a 2.5-second
boot delay.
Downgrade the message to LOG_DEBUG, this keeps the diagnostic
available for debugging purposes without penalizing normal
boot time.
sysupdate: Add ListFeatures() and ListTargets() varlink methods (#42900)
Following on from adding the basic varlink scaffolding to sysupdate,
let’s varlinkify a couple of the D-Bus methods. Because varlink doesn’t
have a concept of object paths, the D-Bus path structure which allows a
target to be selected has been squashed down to a target argument for
each relevant method.
Varlinkify the way to list targets, and also the way to list features
because that was simple to do at the same time.
More methods need varlinkifying in the future, but let’s do it in small
and manageable chunks.
string-util: replace version_is_valid()/version_is_valid_version_spec() by a common call
Let's take inspiration from string_is_safe() and take a flags field that
allows fine tuning the validation.
Then port over all current users of either function to the new logic.
Note that this *does* change behaviour in various cases:
1. Generally: we'll now always accept the full UAPI.10 alphabet,
including the "~" and "^" characters. As far as I can see there's no
downside to this liberalization as none of the current consumers of
the two functions uses these characters for anything else.
2. systemd-analyze compare-version will now accept version strings with
"_" and "+" without complaining. I see no downside here, it just
normalizes these debugging tools, to make them accept what most our
other tools accept.
3. "bootctl link" will not accept empty version strings anymore
Which is a bugfix I guess.
4. vpick will now refuse "_" and "+" in version strings. It kinda
already did, because when parsing versions from filenames it uses "_"
and "+" as name, architecture and attempt counter separators. We now
systematically refuse it everywhere else in vpick too. This is hence
a clean-up.
string-util: reorder characters in version charset
Let's bring the version string character set into a systematic order,
matching the order in which they appear and are defined in the UAPI.10
specification text.
This makes it easier to compare the relevant functions.
Allowing this apparently has been cargo-culted from my initial sysupdate
PR, but Claude and me could not find a single other software package
that uses "," as a character within version strings. Hence, let's remove
this, even though this is a compat breakage of a kind, in the hope
nobody notices. We can easily restore this if this later shows to be an
issue for people.
The RTCTimeUSec property was being displayed in local time format
when using 'timedatectl show', while 'timedatectl status' correctly
displayed it in UTC format. This inconsistency was due to the
bus_print_all_properties() function using TIMESTAMP_PRETTY style
for all timestamps, which formats in local time.
This fix adds special handling for RTCTimeUSec to use TIMESTAMP_UTC
style, ensuring consistent UTC display across both commands.
dissect-image: don't assert() on partition geometry from blkid
The per-partition loop in dissect_image() reads the start and size (in
512-byte sectors) of each partition from libblkid and guards the
following byte conversions with assert(). Images sizes are input,
rather than programming, so return an error instead of asserting.
homework-luks: add new key slots before destroying old ones
home_passwd_luks() rotates the LUKS key slots with a single loop that
destroys slot i before adding its replacement at the same index. If
adding the replacement fails (e.g.: argon2 OOMs), slot i is left
destroyed with no replacement and no rollback. If the user has only
one password, its only key slot is now gone and the home directory can
no longer be unlocked.
Rotate in two passes instead: first add every new password into a free
slot (CRYPT_ANY_SLOT), and only once all adds succeed, destroy the old
slots. If an add fails, roll back the slots added so far and return
with the pre-existing slots untouched, so at least one valid key slot
always remains for each password the user holds.

sysupdate: Allow multiple documentation URLs for a feature
Change the varlink API for Feature structs to allow multiple

This is a deviation from what the sysupdated D-Bus API allows and, for
the moment, from what’s supported internally by sysupdate. Internally it
continues to support 0-1 URLs for now.
But by defining the API as a strv, multiple URLs can be supported in
future without API breaks.

sysupdate: Run ListFeatures in offline mode
Historically, the ListFeatures API (in both D-Bus and now varlink) was
run without an `--offline` flag. This appears like it’s an oversight, but
actually `verb_features()` always unconditionally loaded in offline
mode.
In any case, there doesn’t appear to be a reason for the context to be
online (i.e. for it to check sources for available updates). Features are
defined in local config files and are loaded by `read_features()`, which
is called in both offline and online mode.
When the varlink ListFeatures API was added, it was put into online mode
in order to match the lack of `--offline` argument in the existing D-Bus
API implementation. Change both of them to be explicitly in offline mode.

repart: Properly pre-calculate auto size of images
When passing --size=auto to repart, it will pre-calculate the image size and
resize the image to that size before partitioning. Currently, that fails when
passing a large grain size, complaining that the auto-sized image is too small
to fit the data.
The reason for this is that the current code simply assumes the GPT metadata
size taken away from the usable size by fdisk is static (1044KiB), when it
actually is more complicated than that:
There's two ranges of GPT metadata: One at the beginning of the image, and one
at the end of the image. And there's the first usable block that is defined by
fdisk when creating the partition table.
The static value of 1044KiB usually works, because fdisk sets the first usable
block to 1MiB (so 1024KiB), leaving 20KiB of leeway for the secondary GPT at
the end of the image.
Now as soon as the first partition starts at an offset higher than 1024KiB, we
lose the 20KiB leeway for the secondary GPT, and the partitions will no longer
fit.
What we should do, is first of all round up to the grain size instead of 4096
(as that's the minimum offset our first partition will start at), and second of
all properly subtract the secondary GPT at the end.
Also confirm we don't regress on this anymore by adding a test that uses a 2MiB
grain size, breaking the old code.
repart: Fix growing the partition preceding a FreeArea from leftover space (#42969)
The "Donate to preceding partition" logic is dead code since commit
https://github.com/jonas2515/systemd/commit/19903a433507897449c086b72abb5e133e431336
("repart: split out context_grow_partition_one()").
context_grow_partition_one() gets passed a free area and a partition,
and it has
an early-return check to ensure the partition it got passed belongs to
the free
area it got passed. That means we compare the FreeArea a to the FreeArea
a->after->allocated_to_area, which always yields FALSE.
Fix the behavior of donating any left over space to the preceding
partition
by adding that partition to the loop below (and relying on the
partitions list
being ordered according to physical partition offsets).
Since this behavior is not that easy to trigger, mention how to trigger
it in a
comment, and add a test for it as well.
When no prefix is specified, portablectl inspect first tries the
prefix derived from the image name. This keeps inspect aligned with
attach behavior.
If that lookup finds no matching units, retry with validated
PORTABLE_PREFIXES read from the image os-release. This makes inspect
work for images whose filename does not match their portable service
prefix.
Keep metadata error handling explicit so request-construction failures
are not logged twice, while sd_bus_call() failures still include the
inspect context.
Add a TEST-29-PORTABLE regression case for a directory image whose
name does not match the portable service prefix.
dns-answer: preserve shared aliases when removing records
dns_answer_remove_by_rr() mutats the backing OrderedSet even when the answer
has multiple references. Callers such as trust-anchor revocation could thus
change snapshots held elsewhere in the resolver.
dns_zone_link_item() inserts a new item into the by-key hashmap before

frees the item while by-key retains a dangling key and value.
man: clarify that --when= is a lower bound, not a condition
`systemctl reboot --when=yesterday` reboots the machine immediately, which
surprised users enough to be reported as a bug. It is not one: the timestamp
passed to --when= (and to ScheduleShutdown(), and to shutdown(8)) declares the
earliest point in time the action may be taken, it is not a condition that is
evaluated and that could fail.
Behaving any differently would be racy and surprising: "--when=now" refers to
the past by the time the request is processed, and "--when=+50ms" may well have
elapsed already due to scheduling latencies. In both cases we must still carry
out the action the user asked for.
Document the semantics explicitly in systemctl(1), shutdown(8) and the
org.freedesktop.login1(5) D-Bus interface documentation.
boot: skip boot counter logic for entries marked read-only
If the read-only FAT file attribute is set on a boot entry file with a
counter in its name, don't attempt to rename it, but simply skip the
boot counter logic for it, taking the flag as a hint that the entry
shall not be subject to boot assessment.
boot-secret: don't initialize secret mixin file if marked read-only
If the boot secret mixin file exists but is empty we'd normally fill it
with a fresh mixin. Refrain from that if the read-only FAT file
attribute is set on it, taking that as a hint that the file shall not
be initialized. Reading an existing, fully populated mixin file remains
unaffected by the flag.
boot: skip random seed handling if seed file is marked read-only
If the read-only FAT file attribute is set on /loader/random-seed,
don't update the seed file — and hence don't use it either, since a
seed we cannot update would be the same on every boot.
This gives users an explicit way to turn off random seed handling by
marking the file read-only, useful for example in pre-built OS images
that are replicated to many systems, where the baked-in seed is shared
and hence must not be credited.
The check is done upfront in process_random_seed(), before any other
work, mirroring the existing check for read-only volumes. This covers
both systemd-boot and systemd-stub, which share this code.
Before, the command timed out with exit status 124 while the service
stayed active. --wait waits for deactivation, but RemainAfterExit=yes

sudo systemd-run --wait --verbose --json=short /bin/echo hi
Before, systemd-run printed JSON metadata to stdout while --verbose
also spawned journalctl output on stdout. The resulting stream mixed JSON
with journal lines, so reject the conflicting options.
Reproducer:
sudo systemd-run --scope --json=short /bin/echo hi
Before, systemd-run printed JSON metadata to stdout and then executed
the scope command on the same stdout. The combined stream was not valid
JSON, so reject --json= in scope mode.
Before, trigger mode accepted --json=short but printed only human-readable
"Running timer as unit" and "Will run service" lines. Reject the option
until trigger mode has structured output.
Reproducer:
sudo systemd-run --wait --pipe --json=short /bin/echo hi
Before, systemd-run wrote its JSON metadata to stdout and then passed
the command stdout through the same stream. The combined output was not
valid machine-readable JSON, so reject the conflicting modes.
Before, the command ran as nobody but kept the caller supplementary
root group, for example groups=65534(nogroup),0(root). Scope mode
performs the uid/gid switch locally, so initialize the target user groups
before dropping privileges.
Before, an explicit .path unit name was not recognized as the
trigger unit. It was mangled again as a service name, so PID 1 rejected
the transient request with an already-loaded unit conflict.
Before, the option was accepted but had no effect because scope mode
executes the command locally after creating the scope. The flag is only
encoded into service ExecStart properties, so accept it only where it can
be applied.
Before, systemd-run still waited for the trigger unit job and
propagated the socket start failure. With --no-block it should only
verify and enqueue the request, as the service path already does.

cryptsetup: add Argon2id-based PIN mode for TPM2 enrollment (#41859)
The current TPM2 PIN mode is flawed as a compromised TPM directly
exposes
the sealed secret which is the LUKS volume key itself
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/27502 and
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/37386).
Goal: add Argon2id-based PIN hardening to TPM2 enrollment, making
the TPM a second factor rather than a single point of failure:
1. Password + salt → Argon2id → 512-bit key split into Key1 + Key2
2. Key2 (base64-encoded) is used as the PIN to seal a random secret
in the TPM
3. Key1 + unsealed secret → HKDF-SHA256 → final LUKS volume key
This implementation ensures that if the TPM is compromised, an attacker
still needs the password to derive Key1 and combine it with the unsealed
secret.
The --tpm2-with-pin= option now accepts three values:
- false (no PIN used)
- true (PIN hardened with Argon2id - default)
- "direct" (legacy PIN without Argon2id for backward compatibility)
These default to a function of available CPUs and physical memory, with
a benchmark that scales iterations to the target time (default: 2s) and
falls back to ARGON2ID_PARAMETERS_DEFAULT (64 MiB, 8 iter, 4 lanes) when
auto detection fails.
Also if the runtime OpenSSL lacks Argon2id support (< 3.2), the feature
silently falls back to direct PIN mode with a warning.

3) timer_time_change() fires and calls timer_enter_waiting(t, true)
Because time_change=true, v->next_elapse is not recalculated and

4) Timer elapses at 06:58:26
Jul 08 06:58:26 ...: Timer elapsed.
timer_enter_running() sets last_trigger.monotonic to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
(which equals to M0 + 12s before suspend + 13s after suspend, thus
+ 25s)
5) Unit deactivates at 06:58:29
timer_trigger_notify() calls timer_enter_waiting(t, false) -
time_change=false; that means that this time v->next_elapse gets
recalculated:
base = inactive_exit_timestamp.monotonic = M0 (i.e. when the timer was originally armed)
usec_shift_clock(M0, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM)
a = now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) = M0 + 28s
b = now(CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM) = M0 + 64s
result = b - (a - M0) = (M0 + 64s) - 28s = M0 + 36s => the time spent in suspend
is false, because the v->next_elapse (M0 + 96s) is not less than the
current time (M0 + 64s), so the timer is re-armed again:
Jul 08 06:58:29 ...: Monotonic timer elapses in 33.544681s
Let's mitigate this by skipping the next elapse timestamp recalculations
for one-shot timers for which we've already calculated the value in this
activation cycle.

This changes the escaping rules when the therad name is not quite

udev_list_entry_add() freed the existing entry for a name before inserting

though.
This seems inconsistent, and likely it was an oversight that the trailing padding
is copied.
Fix that, and add a test to ensure we don't regress.

repart: Clarify and test that --copy-from= argument respects grain size
The --copy-from= argument currently is documented as "copied partitions will have
the same size". This doesn't hold true in the case where a different grain-size is
passed to repart. Because `partition_min/max_size()` currently do rounding, the
size is implicitly rounded to grain size, and therefore partitions are enlarged
to align to grain size whenever possible.
Clarify this behavior and change the manpage, and also add a test for it.

repart: Don't get old grain size from fdisk for --copy-from=
This is a little bit confusing, but grain size is not actually stored in the gpt
metadata. Rather, fdisk's `get_grain_size()` returns an autodiscovered "optimal io
size" value as grain size. This might not actually be the grain size that the
disk we're copying is using.
Since we're setting the padding of the copied partitions using that value from
fdisk, we're rounding the new paddings by fdisk's optimal grain size, which is
usually 1MiB (a lot more then the default 4KiB that we're using otherwise).
Set the grain size here to 1 byte instead, ensuring that the min/max padding set
is exactly the padding that was present before.
Also add a test to confirm the behavior is fixed: The test calls --copy-from= on
an existing disk with 4MiB grain size, and because we pass --grain-size=512, now
no rounding should happen and the paddings should be transferred to exactly the
same size.
