This works now:
# systemd-nspawn -xb -D / -M foobar
Which boots up an ephemeral container, based on the host's root file
system. Or in other words: you can now run the very same host OS you
booted your system with also in a container, on top of it, without
having it interfere. Great for testing whether the init system you are
hacking on still boots without reboot the system!
This adds --template= to duplicate an OS tree as btrfs snpashot and run
it
This also adds --ephemeral or -x to create a snapshot of an OS tree and
boot that, removing it after exit.
Also, rename filename_is_safe() to filename_is_valid(), since it
actually does a full validation for what the kernel will accept as file
name, it's not just a heuristic.
This way, we should be in a slightly better situation if a container is
booted up with only a shell as PID 1. In that case
/run/systemd/container will not be populated, and a check for it hence
be ineffective.
Checking /proc/1/environ doesn't fully fix the problem though, as the
file is only accessible with privileges. This means if PID 1 is not
systemd, and if privileges have been dropped the container detection
will continue to fail.
loop_write() didn't follow the usual systemd rules and returned status
partially in errno and required extensive checks from callers. Some of
the callers dealt with this properly, but many did not, treating
partial writes as successful. Simplify things by conforming to usual rules.
When dbus client connects to systemd-bus-proxyd through
Unix domain socket proxy takes client's smack label and sets for itself.
It is done before and independent of dropping privileges.
The reason of such soluton is fact that tests of access rights
performed by lsm may take place inside kernel, not only
in userspace of recipient of message.
The bus-proxyd needs CAP_MAC_ADMIN to manipulate its label.
In case of systemd running in system mode, CAP_MAC_ADMIN
should be added to CapabilityBoundingSet in service file of bus-proxyd.
In case of systemd running in user mode ('systemd --user')
it can be achieved by addition
Capabilities=cap_mac_admin=i and SecureBits=keep-caps
to user@.service file
and setting cap_mac_admin+ei on bus-proxyd binary.
The ELF magic cannot work for consumers of our shard library, since they
are in a different module. Hence make all the ELF magic private, and
instead introduce a public function to register additional static
mapping table.
It's only exposed to userspace since

..so make them cry and print a warning if __NR_memfd_create is not
defined. This should make syscall() fail with -ENOSYS, thus trigger a
suitable runtime error-path.
We need original socket_fd around otherwise mac_selinux_get_child_mls_label
fails with -EINVAL return code. Also don't call setexeccon twice but rather pass
context value of SELinuxContext option as an extra argument.
If /etc was read only at boot time with an empty /etc/machine-id, the latter
will be mounted as a tmpfs and get reset at each boot. If the system becomes rw
later, this functionality enables to commit in a race-free manner the
transient machine-id to disk.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | while read f; do perl -i.mmm -e \
'local $/;
local $_=<>;
s/(if\s*\([^\n]+\))\s*{\n(\s*)(log_[a-z_]*_errno\(\s*([->a-zA-Z_]+)\s*,[^;]+);\s*return\s+\g4;\s+}/\1\n\2return \3;/msg;

And a couple of manual whitespace fixups.
Simplify unit_name_mangle() and unit_name_mangle_with_suffix() to
always behave the same, and only append a suffix if there is no
type suffix. If a user says 'isolate blah.device' it is better to
return an error that the type cannot be isolated, than to try to
isolate blah.device.target.
