Now that requiring of a masked unit results in failure again, downgrade the dependency on /tmp to Wants= again, so that
our suggested way to disable /tmp-on-tmpfs by masking doesn't result in a failing boot.
References: #2315
We support /var, /tmp and /var/tmp on NFS. NFS shares however are by
default ordered only before remote-fs.target which is a late-boot
service. /var, /tmp, /var/tmp need to be around earlier though, hence
explicitly order them before basic.target.
Note that this change simply makes explicit what was implicit before,
since many early-boot services pulled in parts of /var anyway early.
For boot, we might kill fsck in the middle, with likely catastrophic
consequences.
On shutdown there might be other jobs, like downloading of updates for
installation, and other custom jobs. It seems better to schedule an
individual timeout on each one separately, when it is known what
timeout is useful.
Disable the timeouts for now, until we have a clearer picture of how
we can deal with long-running jobs.
Since commit 19f8d03783 'timer: order OnCalendar units after
timer-sync.target if DefaultDependencies=no' timers might get a
dependency on time-sync.target, which does not really belong in early
boot. If ntp is enabled, time-sync.target might be delayed until a
network connection is established.
It turns out that majority of timer units found in the wild do not
need to be started in early boot. Out of the timer units available in
Fedora 21, only systemd-readahead-done.timer and mdadm-last-resort@.timer
should be started early, but they both have DefaultDependencies=no,
so are not part of timers.target anyway. All the rest look like they
will be fine with being started a bit later (and the majority even
much later, since they run daily or weekly).
Let timers.target be pulled in by basic.target, but without the
temporal dependency. This means timer units are started on a "best
effort" schedule.

Using the new JobTimeoutAction= setting make sure we power off the
machine after basic.target is queued for longer than 15min but not
executed. Similar, if poweroff.target is queued for longer than 30min
but does not complete, forcibly turn off the system. Similar, if
reboot.target is queued for longer than 30min but does not complete,
forcibly reboot the system.
In a normal running system, non-passive targets and units used during
early bootup are always started. So refusing "manual start" for them
doesn't make any difference, because a "start" command doesn't cause
any action.
In early boot however, the administrator might want to start on
of those targets or services by hand. We shouldn't interfere with that.
Note: in case of systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service, really running the
unit after system is up would break the system. So e.g. restarting
should not be allowed. The unit has "RefuseManualStop=yes", which
prevents restart too.
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
Some unit shall never be start on user request (e.g. shutdown.target)
others never be stopped on user request (e.g. auditd.servce), hence
offer options for both.
