KEY_RESTART is widely used in Linux to indicate device reboot.
So lets handle it in the same fashion as KEY_POWER.

We would only write to the field, and take the address. All *readers* were
removed in 2841493927. (The explanation for why
the field wasn't removed back then is that the patch underwent a few iterations,
with the initial version adding translation back and forth. Later versions of
the patch simply emit a warning and ignore the old value. Apparently nobody
noticed that the value became unused.)
This removes the UserTasksMax= setting in logind.conf. Instead, the generic
TasksMax= setting on the slice should be used. Instead of a transient unit we
use a drop-in to tweak the default definition of a .slice. It's better to use
the normal unit mechanisms instead of creating units on the fly. This will also
make it easier to start user@.service independently of logind, or set
additional settings like MemoryMax= for user slices.
The setting in logind is removed, because otherwise we would have two sources
of "truth": the slice on disk and the logind config. Instead of trying to
coordinate those two sources of configuration (and maintainer overrides to
both), let's just convert to the new one fully.
Right now now automatic transition mechanism is provided. logind will emit a
hint when it encounters the setting, but otherwise it will be ignored.
Fixes#2556.
This change adds support for controlling the suspend-on-lid-close
behaviour based on the power status as well as whether the machine is
docked or has an external monitor. For backwards compatibility the new
configuration file variable is ignored completely by default, and must
be set explicitly before being considered in any decisions.
Let's change from a fixed value of 12288 tasks per user to a relative value of
33%, which with the kernel's default of 32768 translates to 10813. This is a
slight decrease of the limit, for no other reason than "33%" sounding like a nice
round number that is close enough to 12288 (which would translate to 37.5%).
(Well, it also has the nice effect of still leaving a bit of room in the PID
space if there are 3 cooperating evil users that try to consume all PIDs...
Also, I like my bikesheds blue).
Since the new value is taken relative, and machined's TasksMax= setting
defaults to 16384, 33% inside of containers is usually equivalent to 5406,
which should still be ample space.
To summarize:
| on the host | in the container
old default | 12288 | 12288
new default | 10813 | 5406
For similar reasons as the recent addition of a limit on sessions.
Note that we don't enforce a limit on inhibitors per-user currently, but
there's an implicit one, since each inhibitor takes up one fd, and fds are
limited via RLIMIT_NOFILE, and the limit on the number of processes per user.
We really should put limits on all resources we manage, hence add one to the
number of concurrent sessions, too. This was previously unbounded, hence set a
relatively high limit of 8K by default.
Note that most PAM setups will actually invoke pam_systemd prefixed with "-",
so that the return code of pam_systemd is ignored, and the login attempt
succeeds anyway. On systems like this the session will be created but is not
tracked by systemd.
This new setting configures the TasksMax= field for the slice objects we
create for each user.
This alters logind to create the slice unit as transient unit explicitly
instead of relying on implicit generation of slice units by simply
starting them. This also enables us to set a friendly description for
slice units that way.
This introduces 'HoldoffTimeoutSec' to logind.conf to make
IGNORE_LID_SWITCH_{SUSPEND,STARTUP}_USEC configurable.
Background: If an external monitor is connected, or if the system is
docked, we want to ignore LID events. This is required to support setups
where a laptop is used with external peripherals while the LID is closed.
However, this requires us to probe all hot-plugged devices before reacting
to LID events. But with modern buses like USB, the standards do not impose
any timeout on the slots, so we have no chance to know whether a given
slot is used or not. Hence, after resume and startup, we have to wait a
fixed timeout to give the kernel a chance to probe devices. Our timeout
has always been generous enough to support even the slowest devices.
However, a lot of people didn't use these features and wanted to disable
the hold-off timer. Now we provide a knob to do that.
This way each user allocates from his own pool, with its own size limit.
This puts the size limit by default to 10% of the physical RAM size but
makes it configurable in logind.conf.
In order to prepare things for the single-writer cgroup scheme, let's
make logind use systemd's own primitives for cgroup management.
Every login user now gets his own private slice unit, in which his sessions
live in a scope unit each. Also, add user@$UID.service to the same
slice, and implicitly start it on first login.
Internally we store all time values in usec_t, however parse_usec()
actually was used mostly to parse values in seconds (unless explicit
units were specified to define a different unit). Hence, be clear about
this and name the function about what we pass into it, not what we get
out of it.
Previously, if X allocated all 6 TTYs (for multi-session for example) no
getty would be available anymore to guarantee console-based logins.
With the new ReserveVT= switch in logind.conf we can now choose one VT
(6 by default) that will always be subject to autovt-style activation,
i.e. we'll always have a getty on TTY6, and X will never take possession
of it.
This takes handling of chassis power and sleep keys as well as the lid
switch over from acpid.
This logic is enabled by default for power and sleep keys, but not for
the lid switch.
If a graphical session is in the foreground no action is taken under the
assumption that the graphical session does this.
