The <!-- --> comment lines resulted in double newlines in the man page
header, which looks quite ugly. Let's rearrange a bit so that these
comments don't result in changes in the output.
The pair is similar to remote-fs.target and remote-fs-pre.target. Any
cryptsetup devices which require network shall be ordered after
remote-cryptsetup-pre.target and before remote-cryptsetup.target.
It's like Manager.PowerOff(), which does not start poweroff.target.
Instead, the dbus methods are used for `systemctl --force exit`
or `systemctl --force poweroff`. They shut down the system without
processing individual unit's ExecStop or TimeoutStopSec.
This new target is a passive unit, hence it is supposed to be pulled in
to the transaction by the service that wants to block login on the
console (e.g. text version of initial-setup). Now both getty and
serial-getty are ordered after this target.

rescue.target does not work well, and we don't have a suitable emergency
shell unit that can be started on existing systems right now. So let's just
remove the recommendation for now.
Fixes#6451.
So far, all sections of the systemd.special(7) man page used
<varlistentry> for listing the targets, with one exception: the
"Special Passive User Units" one. Let's clean this up and use the same
formatting everywhere.
As requested in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557.
docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has
no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer.
In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places
should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were
changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the
ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other
places.
Note: the name is "system-update-cleanup.service" rather than
"system-update-done.service", because it should not run normally, and also
because there's already "systemd-update-done.service", and having them named
so similarly would be confusing.
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 the system repeatedly
entered system-update.target on boot. Because of a packaging issue, the tool
that created the /system-update symlink could be installed without the service
unit that was supposed to perform the upgrade (and remove the symlink). In
fact, if there are no units in system-update.target, and /system-update symlink
is created, systemd always "hangs" in system-update.target. This is confusing
for users, because there's no feedback what is happening, and fixing this
requires starting an emergency shell somehow, and also knowing that the symlink
must be removed. We should be more resilient in this case, and remove the
symlink automatically ourselves, if there are no upgrade service to handle it.
This adds a service which is started after system-update.target is reached and
the symlink still exists. It nukes the symlink and reboots the machine. It
should subsequently boot into the default default.target.
This is a more general fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 (the packaging issue was
already fixed).
- use "service" instead of "script", because various offline updaters that we have
aren't really scripts, e.g. dnf-plugin-system-upgrade, packagekit-offline-update,
fwupd-offline-update.
- strongly recommend After=sysinit.target, Wants=sysinit.target
- clarify a bit what should happen when multiple update services are started
- replace links to the wiki with refs to the man page that replaced it.
This complements graphical-session.target for services which set up the
environment (e. g. dbus-update-activation-environment) and need to run before
the actual graphical session.
This unit acts as a dynamic "alias" target for any concrete graphical user
session like gnome-session.target; these should declare
"BindsTo=graphical-session.target" so that both targets stop and start at the
same time.
This allows services that run in a particular graphical user session (e. g.
gnome-settings-daemon.service) to declare "PartOf=graphical-session.target"
without having to know or get updated for all/new session types. This will
ensure that stopping the graphical session will stop all services which are
associated to it.
systemd.special.xml: corrections about implicit
dependencies for basic.target, sysinit.target and shutdown.target.
systemd.target.xml: corrections about implicit dependencies for
target units in general.
In makefile we create symlinks runlevel5.target to graphical.target and
runlevel2-4.target to multi-user.target. Let's say the same thing in
systemd.special manpage.
Add a synchronization point so that custom initramfs units can run
after the root device becomes available, before it is fsck'd and
mounted.
This is useful for custom initramfs units that may modify the
root disk partition table, where the root device is not known in
advance (it's dynamically selected by the generators).
exit.target is now used for both system and user sessions,
so remove "on user service manager exit". Also reword that
paragraph: services will be killed before the manager exits,
even if they do not conflict with shutdown target, but we
recommend that they conflict with shutdown target so that
systemd schedules them to be stopped immediately when starting
to exit.
In the first paragraph, containers should be mentioned last,
and the more general systems first.
When a systemd service running in a container exits with a non-zero
code, it can be useful to terminate the container immediately and get
the exit code back to the host, when systemd-nspawn returns. This was
not possible to do. This patch adds the following to make it possible:
- Add a read-only "ExitCode" property on PID 1's "Manager" bus object.
By default, it is 0 so the behaviour stays the same as previously.
- Add a method "SetExitCode" on the same object. The method fails when
called on baremetal: it is only allowed in containers or in user
session.
- Add support in systemctl to call "systemctl exit 42". It reuses the
existing code for user session.
- Add exit.target and systemd-exit.service to the system instance.
- Change main() to actually call systemd-shutdown to exit() with the
correct value.
- Add verb 'exit' in systemd-shutdown with parameter --exit-code
- Update systemctl manpage.
I used the following to test it:
| $ sudo rkt --debug --insecure-skip-verify run \
| --mds-register=false --local docker://busybox \
| --exec=/bin/chroot -- /proc/1/root \
| systemctl --force exit 42
| ...
| Container rkt-895a0cba-5c66-4fa5-831c-e3f8ddc5810d failed with error code 42.
| $ echo $?
| 42

This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.
* by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
could ship this.
* this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
we could ship with this patch.
* we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
probably question if it makes sense at all.
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.
Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.
This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220
The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html
This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.
These will be handled separately by follow up patches.
Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
/usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.
Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.
In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.
By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.
The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.
Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.
Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
network-pre.target is a passive target that should be pulled in by
services that want to be executed before any network is configured (for
example: firewall scrips).
network-pre.target should be ordered before all network managemet
services (but not be pulled in by them).
network-pre.target should be order after all services that want to be
executed before any network is configured (and be pulled in by them).
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous
comma placement fixes…
Highligts in this particular commit:
- the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type
"unsigned int"
- alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how
numbers get sorted)
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and
orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.
In this particular commit:
- the usual comma fixes
- expand contractions (this is prose)
