We unregister binfmt_misc twice during shutdown with this change:
1. A previous commit added support for doing that in the final shutdown
phase, i.e. when we do the aggressive umount loop. This is the robust
thing to do, in case the earlier ("clean") shutdown phase didn't work
for some reason.
2. This commit adds support for doing that when systemd-binfmt.service
is stopped. This is a good idea so that people can order mounts
before the service if they want to register binaries from such
mounts, as in that case we'll undo the registration on shutdown
again, before unmounting those mounts.
And all that, just because of that weird "F" flag the kernel introduced
that can pin files...
Fixes: #14981
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731772:
when autofs4 is disabled in the kernel,
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount is not started, so the binfmt_misc module is
never loaded. If we added a dependency on proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount
to systemd-binfmt.service, things would work even if autofs4 was disabled, but
we would unconditionally pull in the module and mount, which we don't want to do.
(Right now we ony load the module if some binfmt is configured.)
But let's make it easier to handle this case by doing two changes:
1. order systemd-binfmt.service after the .mount unit (so that the .service
can count on the mount if both units are pulled in, even if .automount
is skipped)
2. add [Install] section to the service unit. This way the user can do
'systemctl enable proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount' to get the appropriate behaviour.
Even trivial service occasionally get stuck, for example when
there's a problem with the journal. There's nothing more annoying
that looking at the cylon eye for a job with an infinite timeout.
Use standard 90s for jobs that do some work, and 30s for those which
should be almost instantenous.
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.
