These options were added in v255 with commit
cb341090d0, but were not documented as
standalone options in loader.conf. See #29440 for more information.
Found using linkchecker.
For virtiofsd, the man page is maintained upstream, but doesn't seem to be
available in any of the usual places. So let's link to the Debian version.
systemd.filter I have no idea what it is.
It is extremely confusing to use different filenames for different
locations, so pick up the same images for both per-UKI and global
extensions

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15509/files#r2234113960 complains that the
advice is still not clear enough. systemd-boot itself says
"Menu hidden. Hold down key at bootup to show menu."
so let's do the same and tell users to hold down space as the first option.
This should work fine for 99% of people. Then invert the following advice to
try repeated pressing as the alternative option.
Also, fix the advice about --boot-loader-menu=. The whole para is about getting
the menu to show, so 0 is not a good value.

Some keys have only a transient effect, e.g. 'e', but some have a persistent
effect, e.g. 'd'. This is important informations, but the reader might be
forgiven for not finding that at all obvious when reading the descriptions of
the keys.
Also, mention in loader.conf man page that the settings there might be overriden
by EFI variables. This is another thing that is important but not obvious.
For some reason, the man page for loader.conf also mentioned type#1 entries
in passing. Except for using the same file extension, those files are in a
completely different format and with a different purpose. This mixup was
first introduced in f37d383582, was then
reported in #10923, which was closed by cbae79b8d0,
but that didn't fix the actual issue.
Really fixes#10923.
While at it, simplify and improve the wording a bit.
Installing stuff in a chroot should not fail because efivars are
not available. When running in a container touching efivars is
completely disabled, but there are some cases (recovery) where
it is needed to touch them in a chroot, so don't disable them but
avoid failing the run instead.
All those files are standalone programs that can be executed directly.
Some .py files were marked executable, others weren't, probably accidentally.
Mark them all as executable in preparation for subsequent changes.
Some files were using that, others weren't. Since those are user-facing
docs, we should use the nice clean form, not the workaround for strange
systems that we use in other places.
This makes the systemd.getty_auto= kernel command line option and the
$SYSTEMD_GETTY_AUTO environment variable takes the list of classes of
services: credential, container, console, builtin.
This also add getty.auto credential that can take the same value as the
kernel command line option.
Closes#37928.

This extends the functionality introduced in #21648 to allow using
addresses chosen from a delegated prefix as well as the existing
SLAAC/LL/DHCP functionality.
It turns out checking sysfs is not 100% reliable to figure out whether
the firmware had TPM2 support enabled or not. For example with EDK2 arm64, the
default upstream build config bundles TPM2 support with SecureBoot support,
so if the latter is disabled, TPM2 is also unavailable. But still, the ACPI
TPM2 table is created just as if it was enabled. So /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/TPM2
exists and looks correct, but there are no measurements, neither the firmware
nor the loader/stub can do them, and /sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements
does not exist.
The loader can use the apposite UEFI protocol to check, which is a more
definitive answer. Given userspace can also make use of this information, export
the bitmask with the list of active banks as-is. If it's not 0, then we can be
sure a working TPM2 was available in EFI mode.

Aside from the usual boilerplate of moving the shared logic to shared/,
we also rework the implementation of --bind-user= to be similar to what
we'll do in systemd-vmspawn. Instead of messing with the nspawn container
user namespace, we use idmapped mounts to map the user's home directory on
the host to the mapped uid in the container.
Ideally we'd also use the "userdb.transient" credentials to provision the
user records, but this would only work for booted containers, whereas the
current logic works for non-booted containers as well.
Aside from being similar to how we'll implement --bind-user= in vmspawn,
using idmapped mounts also allows supporting --bind-user= without having to
use --private-users=.
Systemd-stub supports loading addons, credentials, system and
configuration
extensions from ESP and while addons and credentials can be both global
and
per-UKI, sysext/confext are only per-UKI.
Add support for global sysext/confext to systemd-stub/systemd-sysext.
Fixes#37993
This adds missing glue to reasonably allow unpriv users VMs/containers
to register with the system machined.
This primarily adds two things:
1. machined can now properly track VMs/containers residing in subcgroups
of units, because that's effectively what happens for per-user
VMs/containers: they are placed below the system unit `user@….service`
in some user unit.
2. machines registered with machined now have an owning UID: users can
operate on their own machines withour re-authentication, but not on
others.
Note that this is only a first step regarding machined's hookup of
nspawn/vmspawn in the long run for unpriv operation.
I think eventually we should make it so that there's both a per-user and
a per-system machined instance (so far, and even with this PR there's
still one per-system instance), and per-user containers/VMs would
registering with *both*. Having two instances makes sense I think,
because it would mean we can make machined reasonably manage the
per-user image discovery, and also do the per-system network/hostname
handling.
