Today listen file descriptors created by socket unit don't get passed to
commands in Exec{Start,Stop}{Pre,Post}= socket options.
This prevents ExecXYZ= commands from accessing the created socket FDs to do
any kind of system setup which involves the socket but is not covered by
existing socket unit options.
One concrete example is to insert a socket FD into a BPF map capable of
holding socket references, such as BPF sockmap/sockhash [1] or
reuseport_sockarray [2]. Or, similarly, send the file descriptor with
SCM_RIGHTS to another process, which has access to a BPF map for storing
sockets.
To unblock this use case, pass ListenXYZ= file descriptors to ExecXYZ=
commands as listen FDs [4]. As an exception, ExecStartPre= command does not
inherit any file descriptors because it gets invoked before the listen FDs
are created.
This new behavior can potentially break existing configurations. Commands
invoked from ExecXYZ= might not expect to inherit file descriptors through
sd_listen_fds protocol.
To prevent breakage, add a new socket unit parameter,
PassFileDescriptorsToExec=, to control whether ExecXYZ= programs inherit
listen FDs.

Drop connections and caches and reload config from files, to allow
for low-interruptions updates, and hook up to the usual SIGHUP and
ExecReload=. Mark servers and services configured directly via D-Bus
so that they can be kept around, and only the configuration file
settings are dropped and reloaded.

This makes it possible to update a home record (and blob directory) of a
home area that's either completely absent (i.e. on a USB stick that's
unplugged) or just inaccessible due to lack of authentication
This bypasses authentication (i.e. user_record_authenticate) if the
volume key was loaded from the keyring and no secret section is
provided.
This also changes Update() and Resize() to always try and load the
volume key from the keyring. This makes the secret section optional for
these methods while still letting them function (as long as the home
area is active)
For CI in mkosi, I want to configure systemd to log at debug level
to the journal, but not to the console. While we already have max
level settings for journald's forwarding settings, not every log line
goes to the journal, specifically during early boot and when units
are connected directly to the console (think systemd-firstboot), so
let's extend the log level options we already have to allow specifying
a comma separated list of values and lets allow prefixing values with
the log target they apply to to make this possible.
usage:
(1) get latest revocation list for your architecture
from https://uefi.org/revocationlistfile
(2) copy the file to $ESP/loader/keys/$name/dbx.auth
Naming is always a matter of preference, and the old name would certainly work,
but I think the new one has the following advantages:
- A verb is better than a noun.
- The name more similar to "the competition", i.e. 'sudo', 'pkexec', 'runas',
'doas', which generally include an action verb.
- The connection between 'systemd-run' and 'run0' is more obvious.
There has been no release yet with the old name, so we can rename without
caring for backwards compatibility.
