In rescue mode let's not establish all sockets, so that we don't end up
starting a lot of additional services automatically.
Instead of pulling in basic.target we now only pull in sysinit.target
which pulls in local-fs.target and swap.target. That way rescue mode has
all the really basic setup around, but normal services are not started
and not autostarted either.
When space is getting too low on a file system rotating the journal file
will fail after the rotation, as opening the new logfile will fail.
Recognize this when logging the error and don't try to dereference a
NULL JournalFile pointer.
When service_stop() handles a service in the SERVICE_AUTO_RESTART state,
it calls service_set_state() to transition it to the SERVICE_DEAD state.
However if the service failed, it should transition it to SERVICE_FAILED
instead, which will trigger its OnFailure units. To achieve this, we now
call service_enter_dead() in place of service_set_state(), which will
transition the service to either SERVICE_DEAD or SERVICE_FAILED as is
appropriate.
Also, some misleading comments are adjusted: service_stop() is not only
called on a user request, but also during an automatic restart in order
to handle dependencies.

According to the man pages of posix_fallocate, it returns zero on
success or an error number on failure; however, errno is not set
on failure. If the kernel or a library other than glibc does not
support the function for example, EOPNOTSUPP will be returned and
the error will not be handled properly with original code.
Checking the device major/minor is not a good idea. Let's replace this
with an explicit flag file, which we model after /etc/os-release and
call /etc/initrd-release.
If systemd serializes from a switch_root, it adds "--switchedroot" to
the systemd in the real root.
If "--switchedroot" is found, then we do not skip all the stuff, which
is skipped for normal rexecs.
The PAM helper thread needs to capture the death signal from the
parent, but is prohibited from doing so since when the child dies
as normal user, the kernel won't allow it to send a TERM to the
PAM helper thread which is running as root.
This causes the PAM threads to never exit, accumulating after
user sessions exit.
There is however really no need to keep the PAM threads running as
root, so, we can just setresuid() to the same user as defined in the
unit file for the parent thread (User=). This makes the TERM signal
arrive as normal. In case setresuid() fails, we ignore the error, so
we at least fall back to the current behaviour.
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.
systemctl called LoadUnit, GetUnit, GetAll in this order to get the properties.
It is useless to load units explicitly, because it won't ensure anything. The
unit may be freed immediately by the garbage collector.
It is unnecessary to call GetUnit, because systemctl can easily translate the
unit name to DBus path by itself.
GetAll will load the unit if necessary.
We need to be able to show the properties even of inactive units.
systemctl loads the unit before getting its properties, but this is racy
as the garbage collector may kick in right after the loading.
Fix it by always loading the unit before handling a message for it.
