systemd System and Service Manager
CHANGES WITH 242 in spe:
* In .link files, MACAddressPolicy=persistent (the default) is changed
to cover more devices. For devices like bridges, tun, tap, bond, and
similar interfaces that do not have other identifying information,
the interface name is used as the basis for persistent seed for MAC
and IPv4LL addresses. The way that devices that were handled
previously is not changed, and this change is about covering devices
then previously by the "persistent" policy.
MACAddressPolicy=random may be used to force randomized MACs and
IPv4LL addresses for a device if desired.
Hint: the log output from udev (at debug level) was enhanced to
clarify what policy is followed and which attributes are used.
`SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug udevadm test-builtin net_setup_link /sys/class/net/<name>`
may be used to view this.
* The .device units generated by systemd-fstab-generator and other
generators do not automatically pull in the corresponding .mount unit
as a Wants= dependency. This means that simply plugging in the device
will not cause the mount unit to be started automatically. But please
note that the mount unit may be started for other reasons, in particular
if it is part of local-fs.target, and any unit which (transitively)
depends on local-fs.target is started.
* $PIDFILE is set to point the absolute path configured with PIDFile=
for processes of that service.
* The fallback DNS server list was augmented with Cloudflare public DNS
servers. Use `-Ddns-servers=` to set a different fallback.
* A new special target usb-gadget.target will be started automatically
when a USB Device Controller is detected (which means that the system
is a USB peripheral).
* A new unit setting CPUQuotaPeriodSec= assigns the CPU time quota
specified by CPUQuota= is measured.
A new unit setting ProtectHostname= may be used to prevent services
from modifying hostname information (even if they otherwise would
have privileges to do so).
A new unit setting NetworkNamespacePath= may be used to specify a
namespace for service or socket units through a path referring to a
Linux network namespace pseudo-file.
* systemd-networkd recognizes a new operation state 'enslaved',
used (instead of 'degraded' or 'carrier') for interfaces which form
a bridge, bond, or similar, and an new 'degraded-carrier'
operational state used for the bond or bridge master interface
when one of the enslaved devices is not operational.
The RequiredForOnline= setting in .network files may now specify a
minimum operational state required for the interface to be considered
"online" by systemd-networkd-wait-online.
* systemd-networkd now implements L2TP tunnels.
* Two new .network settings UseAutonomousPrefix= and UseOnLinkPrefix= may
be used to cause autonomous and onlink prefixes received in IPv6
Router Advertisements to be ignored.
New MulticastFlood=, NeighborSuppression=, and Learning= settings
may be used to tweak bridge behaviour.
* A new .netdev setting PrivateKeyFile= may be used to point to private
key for a WireGuard interface.
* crypttab now supports the same-cpu-crypt and submit-from-crypt-cpus
to tweak encryption work scheduling details.
* systemd-tmpfiles will now take a BSD file lock before operating on a
contents of directory. This may be used to temporarily exclude
directories from aging by taking the same lock (useful for example
when extracting a tarball into /tmp or /var/tmp as a privileged user,
which might create files with really old timestamps, which
nevertheless should not be deleted).
* sd-boot and bootctl now implement support for an Extended Boot Loader
(XBOOTLDR) partition, that is intended to be mounted to /boot, in
addition to the ESP partition mounted to /efi or /boot/efi.
Configuration file fragments, kernels, initrds and other EFI images
to boot will be loaded from both the ESP and XBOOTLDR partitions.
The XBOOTLDR partition was previously described by the Boot Loader
Specification, but implementation was missing in sd-boot.
* A system may now be booted with systemd.volatile=overlay, which
causes the root file system to be set up an overlayfs mount combining
the root-only root directory with a writable tmpfs. In this setup,
the underlying root device is not modified, and any changes are lost
at reboot.
* systemd-nspawn can now create volatile overlays with overlayfs.
* systemd-nspawn can now consume OCI runtime bundles using a new
--oci-bundle= option. This implementation is fully usable, with most
features in the specification implemented, but since this a lot of
new code and functionality, this feature should most likely not
be used in production yet.
systmed-nspawn now supports various options described by the
OCI runtime specification on the command-line and in .nspawn files:
--inaccessible=/Inaccessible= may be used to mask parts of the file
system tree, --console/--pipe may be used to configure how standard
input, output, and error are set up.
* busctl learned the `emit` verb to generate D-Bus signals.
* systemd-analyze cat-config may be used to gather and display
configuration spread over multiple files, for example system and user
presets, tmpfiles.d, sysusers.d, udev rules, etc.
* journalctl learnt a new --cursor-file option that points to a file
from which a cursor should be loaded in the beginning and to which
the updated cursor should be stored at the end.
* ACRN hypervisor and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) are now
detected by systemd-detect-virt (and may also be used in
ConditionVirtualization=).
* The behaviour of systemd-logind may now be modified with environment
variables $SYSTEMD_REBOOT_TO_FIRMWARE_SETUP,
$SYSTEMD_REBOOT_TO_BOOT_LOADER_MENU, and
$SYSTEMD_REBOOT_TO_BOOT_LOADER_ENTRY. They cause logind to either
skip the relevant operation completely (when set to false), or to
create a flag file in /run/systemd (when set to true), instead of
actually commencing the real operation when requested. The presence
of /run/systemd/reboot-to-firmware-setup,
/run/systemd/reboot-to-boot-loader-menu, and
/run/systemd/reboot-to-boot-loader-entry, may be used by alternative
boot loader implementations to replace some steps logind performs
during reboot with their own operations.
* systemctl can be used to request a reboot into the boot loader menu
or a specific boot loader entry with the new --boot-load-menu=
and --boot-loader-entry= options to a reboot command.
* kernel-install will no longer unconditionally create the output
directory (e.g. /efi/<machine-id>/<kernel-version>) for boot loader
snippets, but will do only if the machine-specific parent directory
(i.e. /efi/<machine-id>/) already exists. bootctl has been modified
to create this parent directory during sd-boot installation.
This makes it easier to use kernel-install with plugins which support
a different layout of the bootloader partitions (for example grub2).
CHANGES WITH 241:
* The default locale can now be configured at compile time. Otherwise,
