This effectively reverts 599b6322f1, which
in turn partially reverted 4dc5b821ae.
The --failed switch is not documented on purpose, since it is redundant
due to --state=failed, which it predates. Due to that it's not
documented in --help either.
We generally try to avoid redundant interfaces, but if we need to keep
them for compatibility we do so, however remove them from documentation
to ensure they are not used in future.
The man page is now changed to include a comment about the fact that
--failed is not documented on purpose. Also, explicitly mention
--state=failed as example for --state.
We really don't want to get lost in adding fridge, car, plane, drone, or
whatever else, hence add a generic term "embedded" cover all the cases
where the computer is just part of something bigger, and not at the
focus of things.
For priviliged units this resource control property ensures that the
processes have all controllers systemd manages enabled.
For unpriviliged services (those with User= set) this ensures that
access rights to the service cgroup is granted to the user in question,
to create further subgroups. Note that this only applies to the
name=systemd hierarchy though, as access to other controllers is not
safe for unpriviliged processes.
Delegate=yes should be set for container scopes where a systemd instance
inside the container shall manage the hierarchies below its own cgroup
and have access to all controllers.
Delegate=yes should also be set for user@.service, so that systemd
--user can run, controlling its own cgroup tree.
This commit changes machined, systemd-nspawn@.service and user@.service
to set this boolean, in order to ensure that container management will
just work, and the user systemd instance can run fine.
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower
priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter.
This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable
names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and
protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard.
I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered
when it was removed.
For now, it's systemd itself that parses the options string, but as soon
as util-linux' swapon can take the option string directly with -o we
should pass it on unmodified.
In some cases it is preferable to ship system images with a pre-generated
binary hwdb database, to avoid having to build it at runtime, avoid shipping
the source hwdb files, or avoid storing large binary files in /etc.
So if hwdb.bin does not exist in /etc/udev/, fall back to looking for it in
UDEVLIBEXECDIR. This keeps the possibility to add files to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/
and re-generating the database which trumps the one in /usr/lib.
Add a new --usr flag to "udevadm hwdb --update" which puts the database
into UDEVLIBEXECDIR.
Adjust systemd-udev-hwdb-update.service to not generate the file in /etc if we
already have it in /usr.
The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by
long-running services that are included in the initial system startup
transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services
triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject
to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it.
Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target
job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more
finegrained.
Using "their" as pronoun in these places is confusing since it is more
associated with plural rather than singular, and the sentence already
contains a plural. The word "her/his" apparently offends some people,
hence let's avoid the problem altogether and just name the noun again.
Systemd 209 started setting $WATCHDOG_PID, and sd-daemon watch was
modified to check for this variable. This means that
sd_watchdog_enabled() stopped working with previous versions of
systemd. But sd-event is a public library and API and we must keep it
working even when a program compiled with a newer version of the
libary is used on a system running an older version of the manager.
getenv() and unsetenv() are fairly expensive calls, so optimize
sd_watchdog_enabled() by not calling them when unnecessary.
man: centralize the description of $WATCHDOG_PID and $WATCHDOG_USEC in
the sd_watchdog_enabled manpage. It is better not to repeat the same
stuff in two places.
This new command will ask the journal daemon to flush all log data
stored in /run to /var, and wait for it to complete. This is useful, so
that in case of Storage=persistent we can order systemd-tmpfiles-setup
afterwards, to ensure any possibly newly created directory in /var/log
gets proper access mode and owners.
Clean up the function namespace by renaming the following:
sd_bus_get_owner_uid() → sd_bus_get_name_creds_uid()
sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() → sd_bus_get_name_machine_id()
sd_bus_get_peer_creds() → sd_bus_get_owner_creds()
