Until now, using any form of seccomp while being unprivileged (User=)
resulted in systemd enabling no_new_privs.
There's no need for doing this because:
* We trust the filters we apply
* If User= is set and a process wants to apply a new seccomp filter, it
will need to set no_new_privs itself
An example of application that might want seccomp + !no_new_privs is a
program that wants to run as an unprivileged user but uses file
capabilities to start a web server on a privileged port while
benefitting from a restrictive seccomp profile.
We now keep the privileges needed to do seccomp before calling
enforce_user() and drop them after the seccomp filters are applied.
If the syscall filter doesn't allow the needed syscalls to drop the
privileges, we keep the previous behavior by enabling no_new_privs.
As pointed out in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29814, we need to
use phrases are are meaningful on their own, because the man page formatter
creates a list at the bottom. With <ulink>see docs</ulink>, we end up with:
NOTES:
1. see docs
https://some.url/page
2. see docs
https://some.url/page2
which is not very useful :(
Also, the text inside the tag should not include punctuation.
Python helper:
from xml_helper import xml_parse
for p in glob.glob('../man/*.xml'):
t = xml_parse(p)
ulinks = t.iterfind('.//ulink')
for ulink in ulinks:
if ulink.text is None: continue
text = ' '.join(ulink.text.split())
print(f'{p}: {text}')
Before this commit, $USER, $HOME, $LOGNAME and $SHELL are only
set when User= is set for the unit. For system service, this
results in different behaviors depending on whether User=root is set.
$USER always makes sense on its own, so let's set it unconditionally.
Ideally $HOME should be set too, but it causes trouble when e.g. getty
passes '-p' to login(1), which then doesn't override $HOME. $LOGNAME and
$SHELL are more like "login environments", and are generally not
suitable for system services. Therefore, a new option SetLoginEnvironment=
is also added to control the latter three variables.

As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.
Follow up to ec07c3c80b
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
Currently for portable services we automatically add a bind mount
os-release -> /run/host/os-release. This becomes problematic for the
soft-reboot case, as it's likely that portable services will be configured
to survive it, and thus would forever keep a reference to the old host's
os-release, which would be a problem because it becomes outdated, and also
it stops the old rootfs from being garbage collected.
Create a copy when the manager starts under /run/systemd/propagate instead,
and bind mount that for all services using RootDirectory=/RootImage=, so
that on soft-reboot the content gets updated (without creating a new file,
so the existing bind mounts will see the new content too).
This expands the /run/host/os-release protocol to more services, but I
think that's a nice thing to have too.
Closes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/28023
This reverts commit e019ea738d.
In the new approach, a lock on /dev/console will be used. This lock will solve
the issue for services which run in early boot. Services which run later are
ordered after sysinit.target, so they'll run much later anyway so this
automatic dependency is not useful. Let's remove it again to make the code
simpler.
