The --global flag has been broken since commit
d77d42ed3a, which added a
blanket restriction on acquiring D-Bus connections when
arg_runtime_scope is RUNTIME_SCOPE_GLOBAL. This was done to prevent
crashes, but inadvertently broke legitimate use cases like 'systemctl
edit --global' and 'systemctl cat --global'.
The issue is that verb_edit() and verb_cat() were unconditionally
calling acquire_bus(), which triggers the restriction and fails with
"--global is not supported for this operation."
This commit fixes the issue by making bus acquisition conditional,
following the same pattern used in verb_enable():
- Only acquire the bus when install_client_side() returns NO (i.e., for
system and user scopes)
- For client-side operations (--global, --root, etc.), skip bus
acquisition and use mangle_names() instead of expand_unit_names()
- Update find_paths_to_edit() and verb_cat() to handle NULL bus by
forcing client-side path lookups
- Skip bus-dependent checks (unit_is_masked, need_daemon_reload) when
bus is NULL
This allows both 'systemctl edit --global' and 'systemctl cat --global'
to work correctly by performing all operations client-side without
requiring a connection to the system or user manager.
Fixes#31272
Make bus acquisition conditional in verb_edit() and verb_cat(), following
the same pattern used in verb_enable(). When install_client_side() returns
non-zero (indicating --global, --root, offline, or similar scenarios), skip
acquiring a D-Bus connection and perform all operations client-side.
Changes:
- Only acquire bus when install_client_side() returns NO
- Use mangle_names() instead of expand_unit_names() in client-side mode
- Pass force_client_side flag based on bus availability
- Skip bus-dependent operations (need_daemon_reload, etc.) when bus is NULL
This allows 'systemctl edit --global' and 'systemctl cat --global' to work
correctly, fixing the regression introduced by commit d77d42ed3a.
Test cases added to verify:
- Creating and editing global user units with --runtime
- Reading global units with cat --global
- Proper detection and rejection of masked units in client-side mode
- Tests use /run/ instead of /etc/ for safer temporary testing

There is a TOCTOU in the `systemctl status` where a unit might change
its state during the initial ListUnitsByPatterns call and the subsequent
individual GetAll calls, which then makes the systemctl call fail even
if the unit that was originally pulled in was active/running:

Since in this case we care mostly about the code paths the command

systemd-repart is incorrectly choosing the loop-mount
code path to copy files after formatting, instead of using the --rootdir
path, which is required by mkfs.btrfs to apply compression (since it's
on files, not the fs).
So two fixes (and an integ test):
1. If Btrfs compression is requested without a root directory (e.g.,
Compression= without CopyFiles=), we now log a warning and skip the
--compress flag. This prevents the mkfs.btrfs failure, and it's
meaningless anyway without any files.
2. The logic in repart now uses the --rootdir code path whenever the
partition is btrfs and compression is requested. Otherwise it still
won't work even in the legitimate case because use the loop mounting
code, which is too late to use --compress.
Fixes: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/39584
Add testcase_btrfs_compression() to verify that btrfs partitions with
Compression= and CopyFiles= directives work correctly.
The test verifies the fix for issue #39584, where mkfs.btrfs would fail
with "ERROR: --compression must be used with --rootdir" when repart
tried to create compressed btrfs filesystems.
The test creates a partition definition with Format=btrfs,
Compression=zstd, and CopyFiles=, then validates:
1. systemd-repart output shows "Rootdir from:" and "Compress:",
confirming that the --rootdir code path is used
2. mkfs.btrfs is invoked with both --compress and --rootdir options
3. The file is successfully copied to the filesystem
4. Compression is actually applied (verified via compsize output
containing "zstd")

Load modules in parallel using a pool of worker threads. The number of
threads is equal to the number of CPUs, with a maximum of 16 (to avoid
too many threads being started during boot on systems with many an high
core count, since the number of modules loaded on boot is usually on
the small side).
The number of threads can optionally be specified manually using the
SYSTEMD_MODULES_LOAD_NUM_THREADS environment variable; in this case,
no limit is enforced. If SYSTEMD_MODULES_LOAD_NUM_THREADS is set to 0,
probing happens sequentially.

In these two cases we need to sync the journal _after_ the unit finishes
as well, because we try to match messages from systemd itself, not
(only) from the unit, and the messages about units are dispatched
asynchronously.
That is, in the first case (silent-success.service) we want to make sure
that LogLevelMax= filters out messages _about_ units (from systemd) as
well, including messages like "Deactivated..." and "Finished...", which
are sent out only when/after the unit is stopped.
In the second case we try to match messages with the "systemd" syslog
tag, but these messages come from systemd (obviously) and are sent out
asynchronously, which means they might not reach the journal before we
call `journalctl --sync` from the test unit itself, like happened here:

is technically still there, but the chance we'd hit it should be pretty
negligible.

[ 41.740725] systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@long-running.service: Child 2171 belongs to systemd-nspawn@long-running.service.
[ 41.740748] systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@long-running.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL
[ 41.740755] systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@long-running.service: Will spawn child (service_enter_stop_post): systemd-nspawn
[ 41.740872] systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@long-running.service: About to execute: systemd-nspawn --cleanup --machine=long-running
...
Let's mitigate this by waiting until the corresponding
systemd-nspawn@.service instance enters the 'inactive' state where the
lock should be properly released.
Resolves: #39547
There might be a delay between an umount and a refcounted device
to disappear, so the test can be flaky:

Switch to searching for the dm entry and check for it specifically,
and wait for it to disappear before checking that it is no longer
in the dm table.

TEST-07-PID.user-namespace-path.sh is flaky as Type=simple is used
(implicitly), explicitly use Type=exec instead to ensure the namespaces
are created before starting another service reusing the same namespaces.
Fixes#39546.
Both sysext and confext used the host's /etc/initrd-release file even
when --root=/somewhere was specified. A workaround was the
SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD= env var but without knowing this it was quite
confusing. Aside from users validating their extensions, the primary
use case for this to matter is when the extensions are set up from the
initrd where the initrd-release file is present when running but we want
to prepare the extensions for the final system and thus should match
for the right scope.
Make systemd-sysext check for /etc/initrd-release inside the given
--root= tree. An alternative would be to always ignore the
initrd-release check when --root= is passed but this way it is more
consistent. The image policy logic for EFI-loader-passed extensions
won't take effect when --root= is used, though.
The last sysext test leaked things into new tests added later,
uncovered by any new tests leftover check.
Remove the mutable folder state through a trap as done in other tests.
This allows a service to reuse the user namespace created for an
existing service, similarly to NetworkNamespacePath=. The configuration
is the initial user namespace (e.g. ID mapping) is preserved.
I recently found out (the hard way) that on an older version
there was a bug when the verity sharing is disabled: the
deferred close flag was not set correctly, so verity devices
were leaked.
This is not an issue in main currently, but add a test case
to cover it just in case, to avoid future regressions.
RootDirectory= but via a open_tree() file descriptor. This allows
setting up the execution environment for a service by the client in a
mount namespace and then starting a transient unit in that execution
environment using the new property.
We also add --root-directory= and --same-root-dir= to systemd-run to
have it run services within the given root directory. As systemd-run
might be invoked from a different mount namespace than what systemd is
running in, systemd-run opens the given path with open_tree() and then
sends it to systemd using the new RootDirectoryFileDescriptor= property.

--empower gives full privileges to a non-root user. Currently this
includes all capabilities but we leave the option open to add more
privileges via this option in the future.
Why is this useful? When running privileged development or debugging
commands from your home directory (think bpftrace, strace and such),
you want any files written by these tools to be owned by your current
user, and not by the root user. run0 --empower will allow you to run
all privileged operations (assuming the tools check for capabilities
and not UIDs), while any files written by the tools will still be owned
by the current user.
As 'systemctl stop' is called with --no-block, previously systemd-resolved
might not be stopped when 'resolvectl' is called, and the DBus connection
might be closed during the call:
```
TEST-07-PID1.sh[5643]: + systemctl stop --no-block systemd-resolved.service
TEST-07-PID1.sh[5643]: + resolvectl
TEST-07-PID1.sh[5732]: Failed to get global data: Remote peer disconnected
```
