This makes predictable interfaces names available as soon as possible
with udev by adding the default network link units to initrd which are read
by udev. Also adds some udev rules that are needed but which would normally
loaded from the udev store path which is not included in the initrd.
In 87a19e9048 I merged staging-next into master using the GitHub gui as intended.
In ac241fb7a5 I merged master into staging-next for the next staging cycle, however, I accidentally pushed it to master.
Thinking this may cause trouble, I reverted it in 0be87c7979. This was however wrong, as it "removed" master.
This reverts commit 0be87c7979.
I merged master into staging-next but accidentally pushed it to master.
This should get us back to 87a19e9048.
This reverts commit ac241fb7a5, reversing

Memtest86+ doesn't support EFI, so unfree Memtest86 is used when EFI
support is enabled (systemd-boot currently also uses Memtest86 when
memtest is enabled).
In some cases like we've noticed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76169,
having duplicate packages in systemd.packages like
```
systemd.packages = [ gnome-shell gnome-shell gnome-session ];
```
breaks.
Here we use an associative array to ensure no
duplicate paths when we symlink all the units listed
in systemd.packages.
This fixes the dhcpcd issue in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/76969,
which was exposed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/75031
introducing changes in the module ordering and therefore option ordering
too.
The dhcpcd issue would also be fixable by explicitly putting
dhcpcd's paths before others, however it makes more sense for systemd's
default paths to be after all others by default, since they should only
be a fallback, which is how binary finding will work if they come after.
When using a modified systemd-package (e.g. to test a patch), it's
recommended to use the `systemd.package`-option to avoid rebuilding all packages
that somehow depend on systemd.
With this change, the modified package is also used by `systemd-nspawn@`
units.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
The options at `systemd.network` (`links`, `netdevs` and `networks`) are
directly mapped to the three different unit types of `systemd-networkd(8)`.
However there's also the option `systemd.network.units` which is
basically used as a container for generated unit-configs that are linked
to `/etc/systemd/networkd`[1].
This should not be exposed to the user as it's unclear whether or not it
should be used directly which can be pretty confusing which is why I decided to
declare this option as internal (including all sub-options as `internal`
doesn't seem to be propagated to submodules).

Previously, socket units wouldn't be restarted if they were
changed. To restart the socket, the service the socket is attached
to needs to be stopped first before the socket can be restarted.
This adds an `extraConfig` option to timesyncd for setting additional
options in `/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf`.
This is similar to things like `services.journald.extraConfig` and
`services.logind.extraConfig`.
This has been there since v209 [1]
```
The interface name to use. This option has lower precedence than NamePolicy=, so for this setting to take effect, NamePolicy= must either be unset, empty, disabled, or all policies configured there must fail. Also see the example below with "Name=dmz0".
Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another interface (for example "eth0") is dangerous because the name assignment done by udev will race with the assignment done by the kernel, and only one interface may use the name. Depending on the order of operations, either udev or the kernel will win, making the naming unpredictable. It is best to use some different prefix, for example "internal0"/"external0" or "lan0"/"lan1"/"lan3".

Adding `systemd-importd` to the build, so that `machinectl`s `import-.*`
may actually do anything. Currently they fail with
```
Failed to transfer image: The name org.freedesktop.import1 was not provided by any .service files
```
as `systemd-importd` is not built. Also registers the regarding dbus
api and service in the systemd module.
Both options were introduced in systemd v243[1]. Those options can be
used to ensure that LinkLocalAddressing is only configured for a given
interface if DHCPv4 fails. To quote `systemd.network(5)`:
```
If "fallback" or "ipv4-fallback" is specified, then an IPv4
link-local address is configured only when DHCPv4 fails. If "fallback", an IPv6 link-local
address is always configured, and if "ipv4-fallback", the address is not configured. Note
that, the fallback mechanism works only when DHCPv4 client is enabled, that is, it requires
"DHCP=yes" or "DHCP=ipv4".
```

GDM now specifies ordering between `plymouth-quit` and `display-manager`:
9be5321097
This causes an ordering cycle between GDM and plymouth-quit which can result in
systemd breaking GDM:
```
plymouth-quit.service: Job display-manager.service/start deleted to break
ordering cycle starting with plymouth-quit.service/start
```
Not sure how often this triggers, as I've run my system with plymouth and
9be5321097 without any issues. But I did catch a VM doing this.
NOTE: I also tried to remove the ordering in GDM to see if plymouth managed to
live longer, but it didn't seem to help. So I opted to stick as close to
upstream (upstream GDM specifies ordering, but plymouth does not).
Images generated with nixos-install will be supported by machinectl
problem is that systemd-nspawn's private usersns feature clashes
with DynamicUser and RuntimeDirectory features, which causes NixOS
images to not boot. There is an upstream issue for this
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13622
In #68792 it was discovered that /dev/fuse doesn't have
wordl-read-writeable permissions anymore. The cause of this is that the
tmpfiles examples in systemd were reorganized and split into more files.
We thus lost some of the configuration we were depending on.
In this commit some of the new tmpfiles configuration that are
applicable to us are added which also makes wtmp/lastlog in the pam
module not necessary anymore.
Rationale for the new tmpfile configs:
- `journal-nowcow.conf`: Contains chattr +C for journald logs which
makes sense on copy-on-write filesystems like Btrfs. Other filesystems
shouldn't do anything funny when that flag is set.
- `static-nodes-permissions.conf`: Contains some permission overrides
for some device nodes like audio, loop, tun, fuse and kvm.
- `systemd-nspawn.conf`: Makes sure `/var/lib/machines` exists and old
snapshots are properly removed.
- `systemd-tmp.conf`: Removes systemd services related private tmp
folders and temporary coredump files.
- `var.conf`: Creates some useful directories in `/var` which we would
create anyway at some point. Also includes
`/var/log/{wtmp,btmp,lastlog}`.
Fixes#68792.
The new systemd in 19.09 gives an "Access Denied" error when doing
"systemctl daemon-reexec" on an 19.03 system. The fix is to use the
previous systemctl to signal the daemon to re-exec itself. This
ensures that users don't have to reboot when upgrading from NixOS
19.03 to 19.09.
Pretty useful for laptops. I use them with:
```
services.logind.lidSwitch = "suspend-then-hibernate";
environment.etc."systemd/sleep.conf".text = "HibernateDelaySec=8h";
```
boot.kernelPackages: check for conflicts
It's currently possible to set conflicting `boot.kernelPackages` several times.
Nixos now warns when this is the case instead of just picking one.
systemd provides two sysctl snippets, 50-coredump.conf and
50-default.conf.
These enable:
- Loose reverse path filtering
- Source route filtering
- `fq_codel` as a packet scheduler (this helps to fight bufferbloat)
This also configures the kernel to pass coredumps to `systemd-coredump`.
These sysctl snippets can be found in `/etc/sysctl.d/50-*.conf`,
and overridden via `boot.kernel.sysctl`
(which will place the parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/60-nixos.conf`.
Let's start using these, like other distros already do for quite some
time, and remove those duplicate `boot.kernel.sysctl` options we
previously did set.
In the case of rp_filter (which systemd would set to 2 (loose)), make
our overrides to "1" more explicit.
Add support for custom device-tree files, and applying overlays to them.
This is useful for supporting non-discoverable hardware, such as sensors
attached to GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi.
This adds handling for WASM binaries to binfmt’s emulatedSystems. To
enable, add this to your configuration:
boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "wasm32-wasi" ];
After rebuilding with nixos-rebuild switch, you can run wasm binaries
directly.
This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
This is needed for tcrypt and the benchmark subcommand. If enabled,
it is also used to unlock LUKS2 volumes and therefore the kernel modules
providing this feature need to be available in our initrd.
Fixes#42163. #54019.
Somewhen between systemd v239 and v242 upstream decided to no longer run
a few system services with `DyanmicUser=1` but failed to provide a
migration path for all the state those services left behind.
For the case of systemd-timesync the state has to be moved from
/var/lib/private/systemd/timesync to /var/lib/systemd/timesync if
/var/lib/systemd/timesync is currently a symlink.
We only do this if the stateVersion is still below 19.09 to avoid
starting to have an ever growing activation script for (then) ancient
systemd migrations that are no longer required.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12131 for details about
the missing migration path and related discussion.
