.nspawn fiels are simple settings files that may accompany container
images and directories and contain settings otherwise passed on the
nspawn command line. This provides an efficient way to attach execution
data directly to containers.
This adds a new sd_pid_get_cgroup() call to sd-login which may be used
to query the control path of a process. This is useful for programs when
making use of delegation units, in order to figure out which subtree has
been delegated.
In light of the unified control group hierarchy this is finally safe to
do, hence let's add a proper API for it, to make it easier to use this.
It depends on man/custom-entities.ent which is (and needs to be) a built file,
so we need to always build man/systemd.directives.xml as well.
We also need to drop this from update-man-list so that it doesn't get disted
from Makefile-man.am.
Fixes distcheck failure.

./configure --enable/disable-kdbus can be used to set the default
behavior regarding kdbus.
If no kdbus kernel support is available, dbus-dameon will be used.
With --enable-kdbus, the kernel command line option "kdbus=0" can
be used to disable kdbus.
With --disable-kdbus, the kernel command line option "kdbus=1" is
required to enable kdbus support.
This adds man-pages for most of the libudev symbols we export. Similar
symbols are grouped together in a single man-page, with respective links
added. All man-pages contain the full skeleton including NAME, SYNOPSIS,
RETURN VALUE and SEE ALSO. However, most of them still lack the
DESCRIPTION part. This should be copied from the gtkdoc descriptions in
src/libudev/libudev*.[ch]. Any help is welcome! (the whole skeleton is
already done, so it's really just about the prose-part of the man-pages to
be written).
Missing from the man-pages are the following parts:
- udev_set_log_fn()
- udev_[gs]et_log_priority()
- udev_[gs]et_userdata()
- udev_list_entry_foreach()
- udev_device_get_seqnum()
- udev_device_get_usec_since_initialized()
- udev_util_encode_string()
These are considered legacy, afaik. If not, please feel free to add them
now!
Furthermore, udev-hwdb and udev-queue are not documented at all (for the
same reasons).

This introduces /run/systemd/fsck.progress as a simply
AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket. If it exists and is connectable we'll
connect fsck's -c switch with it. If external programs want to get
progress data they should hence listen on this socket and will get
all they need via that socket. To get information about the connecting
fsck client they should use SO_PEERCRED.
Unless /run/systemd/fsck.progress is around and connectable this change
reverts back to v219 behaviour where we'd forward fsck output to
/dev/console on our own.
Not that all functionality has been ported over to logind, the old
implementation can be removed. There goes one of the oldest parts of
the systemd code base.
With this change it is possible to send file descriptors to PID 1, via
sd_pid_notify_with_fds() which PID 1 will store individually for each
service, and pass via the usual fd passing logic on next invocation.
This is useful for enable daemon reload schemes where daemons serialize
their state to /run, push their fds into PID 1 and terminate, restoring
their state on next start from the data in /run and passed in from PID
1.
The fds are kept by PID 1 as long as no POLLHUP or POLLERR is seen on
them, and the service they belong to are either not dead or failed, or
have a job queued.
This pulls out the hwdb managment from udevadm into an independent tool.
The old code is left in place for backwards compatibility, and easy of
testing, but all documentation is dropped to encourage use of the new
tool instead.
Several manpages contain duplicate text describing a standard set of .d
configuration directories, with the usual sorting, precedence,
overrides, and so on. Factor this common text out using XInclude before
proliferating it even further.
In principle SysV stuff is only for compatibility, but we are stuck
with it for the forseeable future, so documentation might as well
be provided.

Example from Tom Gundersen is included using xi:include.
The copyright notice stands out a bit. Maybe it should be removed,
and the code placed in public domain.
