new switch added to useradd command, --btrfs-subvolume-home. When
specified *and* the filesystem is detected as btrfs, it will create a
subvolume for user's home instead of a plain directory. This is done via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Specifying the new switch while trying to
create home on non-btrfs will result in an error.
userdel -r will handle and remove this subvolume transparently via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Previosuly this failed as you can't rmdir a
subvolume.
usermod, when moving user's home across devices, will detect if the home
is a subvolume and issue an error messages instead of copying it. Moving
user's home (as subvolume) on same btrfs works transparently.
As the lockfiles have PID in the name, there can be no conflict
in the name with other process, so there is no point in using
O_EXCL and it only can fail if there is a stale lockfile from
previous execution that crashed for some reason.
The implementation of prefix option dropped the use of lckpwdf().
However that is incorrect as other tools manipulating the shadow passwords
such as PAM use lckpwdf() and do not know anything about the
shadow's own locking mechanism.
This reverts the implementation to use lckpwdf() if prefix option
is not used.
From <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/71>:
```
The third field in the /etc/shadow file (sp_lstchg) contains the date of
the last password change expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970.
As this is a relative time, creating a user today will result in:
username:17238:0:99999:7:::
whilst creating the same user tomorrow will result in:
username:17239:0:99999:7:::
This has an impact for the Reproducible Builds[0] project where we aim to
be independent of as many elements the build environment as possible,
including the current date.
This patch changes the behaviour to use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[1]
environment variable (instead of Jan 1, 1970) if valid.
```
This updated PR adds some missing calls to gettime (). This was originally
filed by Johannes Schauer in Debian as #917773 [2].

In case the home directory is not a real home directory
(owned by the user) but things like / or /var or similar,
it is unsafe to change ownership of home directory content.
The test checks whether the home directory is owned by the
user him/herself, if not no ownership modification of contents
is performed.
As the large uids are usually provided by remote user identity and
authentication service, which also provide user login tracking,
there is no need to create a huge sparse file for them on every local
machine.
fixup! login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
simplify the condition for setting the euid of the process. Now it is
always set when we are running as root, the issue was introduced with
the commit 52c081b02c
Changelog: 2018-11-24 - seh - enforce that euid only gets set to ruid if
it currently == 0 (i.e. really was setuid-*root*).

Commit 1ecca8439d ("new[ug]idmap: not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the parent userNS")
does contain a wrong commit message, is lacking an explanation of the
issue, misses some simplifications and hardening features. This commit
tries to rectify this.
In (crazy) environment where all capabilities are dropped from the
capability bounding set apart from CAP_SET{G,U}ID setuid- and
fscaps-based new{g,u}idmap binaries behave differently when writing
complex mappings for an unprivileged user:
1. newuidmap is setuid
unshare -U sleep infinity &
newuidmap $? 0 100000 65536
First file_ns_capable(file, ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) is hit. This calls into
cap_capable() and hits the loop
for (;;) {
/* Do we have the necessary capabilities? */
if (ns == cred->user_ns)
return cap_raised(cred->cap_effective, cap) ? 0 : -EPERM;
/*
* If we're already at a lower level than we're looking for,
* we're done searching.
*/
if (ns->level <= cred->user_ns->level)
return -EPERM;
/*
* The owner of the user namespace in the parent of the
* user namespace has all caps.
*/
if ((ns->parent == cred->user_ns) && uid_eq(ns->owner, cred->euid))
return 0;
/*
* If you have a capability in a parent user ns, then you have
* it over all children user namespaces as well.
*/
ns = ns->parent;
}
The first check fails and falls through to the end of the loop and
retrieves the parent user namespace and checks whether CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
available there which isn't.
2. newuidmap has CAP_SETUID as fscaps set
unshare -U sleep infinity &
newuidmap $? 0 100000 65536
The first file_ns_capable() check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN is passed since the
euid has not been changed:
if ((ns->parent == cred->user_ns) && uid_eq(ns->owner, cred->euid))
return 0;
Now new_idmap_permitted() is hit which calls ns_capable(ns->parent,
CAP_SET{G,U}ID). This check passes since CAP_SET{G,U}ID is available in
the parent user namespace.
Now file_ns_capable(file, ns->parent, CAP_SETUID) is hit and the
cap_capable() loop (see above) is entered again. This passes
if (ns == cred->user_ns)
return cap_raised(cred->cap_effective, cap) ? 0 : -EPERM;
since CAP_SET{G,U}ID is available in the parent user namespace. Now the
mapping can be written.
There is no need for this descrepancy between setuid and fscaps based
new{g,u}idmap binaries. The solution is to do a
seteuid() back to the unprivileged uid and PR_SET_KEEPCAPS to keep
CAP_SET{G,U}ID. The seteuid() will cause the
file_ns_capable(file, ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check to pass and the
PR_SET_KEEPCAPS for CAP_SET{G,U}ID will cause the CAP_SET{G,U}ID to
pass.

do not install newuidmap/newgidmap as suid binaries. Running these
tools with the same euid as the owner of the user namespace to
configure requires only CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID instead of requiring
CAP_SYS_ADMIN when it is installed as a suid binary.
