Currently, there is no way to match against system-wide constants, such
as architecture or virtualization type, without forking helper binaries.
That potentially results in a huge number of spawned processes which
output always the same answer.
This patch introduces a special CONST keyword which takes a hard-coded
string as its key and returns a value assigned to that key. Currently
implemented are CONST{arch} and CONST{virt}, which can be used to match
against the system's architecture and virtualization type.
For executables which take a verb, we should list the verbs first, and
then options which modify those verbs second. The general layout of
the man page is from general description to specific details, usually
Overview, Commands, Options, Return Value, Examples, References.

It seems that other parts of link_stop_clients() should be skipped
when restarting, but I don't know enough about those other clients to have
an opinion if it is better to stop&start them on restart or not.
Anyway, that can be done in later patches now that the support for restarts
is there.

Introduce support for configuring cpus and mems for processes using
cgroup v2 CPUSET controller. This allows users to limit which cpus
and memory NUMA nodes can be used by processes to better utilize
system resources.
The cgroup v2 interfaces to control it are cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems
where the requested configuration is written. However, it doesn't mean
that the requested configuration will be actually used as parent cgroup
may limit the cpus or mems as well. In order to reflect the real
configuration cgroup v2 provides read-only files cpuset.cpus.effective
and cpuset.mems.effective which are exported to users as well.

Traditionally, user logins had a $PATH in which /bin was before /sbin, while
root logins had a $PATH with /sbin first. This allows the tricks that
consolehelper is doing to work. But even if we ignore consolehelper, having the
path in this order might have been used by admins for other purposes, and
keeping the order in user sessions will make it easier the adoption of systemd
user sessions a bit easier.
Fixes#733.

OOM handling in manager_default_environment wasn't really correct.
Now the (theorertical) malloc failure in strv_new() is handled.
Please note that this has no effect on:
- systems with merged /bin-/sbin (e.g. arch)
- when there are no binaries that differ between the two locations.
E.g. on my F30 laptop there is exactly one program that is affected:
/usr/bin/setup -> consolehelper.
There is less and less stuff that relies on consolehelper, but there's still
some.
So for "clean" systems this makes no difference, but helps with legacy setups.

journalctl --unit= already did this, and allows you to tail all the logs
for a certain slice easily. It seemed only natural to make --user-unit
behave in a similar way.
The _SYSTEMD_USER_SLICE field was not documented as being added by
journald, so I have added that to the documentation too.
Furthermore, I have documented the existing behaviour of --unit= and the
new behaviour of --user-unit=
The behaviour was actually not documented before, so I am also OK with
removing the match for the --unit= command instead. The user would then
have to manually provide _SYSTEMD_SLICE= filter to journalctl in both
cases. Both options work for me.
Don't claim we'd use cgroup.deny much. It's just a way to remove stuff
from device lists, which is nothing we allow users to explicitly
configure.
Also, extend documentation when wildcards may be used, and when not.
waitid(2) and the libc function signature calls this "exit status", and
uses "exit code" for something different. Let's stick to the same
nomenclature hence.
This option is only used on reboot, not on other types of shutdown
modes, so it is misleading.
Keep the old name working for backward compatibility, but remove it
from the documentation.
Rather than always enabling the shutdown WD on kexec, which might be
dangerous in case the kernel driver and/or the hardware implementation
does not reset the wd on kexec, add a new timer, disabled by default,
to let users optionally enable the shutdown WD on kexec separately
from the runtime and reboot ones. Advise in the documentation to
also use the runtime WD in conjunction with it.
Fixes: a637d0f9ec ("core: set shutdown watchdog on kexec too")
We removed support for foreign services (and ntp-units.d/) in b72ddf0f4.
Support for foreign services was added back in 5d280742, but through an
environment variable.
The problem with the env var approach is that it only works as a mechanism
to select one item, and doesn't work nicely as a mechinism to create a list
of items through drop-ins (because the env var can be easily overridden, but not
extended). Having a list of "ntp providers" is important to be able to reliably disable
all of them when that is requested.
Another problem is that nobody ever bothered to care about our new "standard".
ntp-units.d/ is a nice simple format that works and is already supported by
chrony and ntpd and timedatex. If we were to introduce and ask people to follow
a new standard, there should be some good reason for this. The idea with env
vars has lower functionality, requires systemd-specific syntax. We should just
re-adopt the format that we originally introduced and that seems to work for
everyone, and more on to more interesting problems.
This patch introduces the systemd pstore service which will archive the
contents of the Linux persistent storage filesystem, pstore, to other storage,
thus preserving the existing information contained in the pstore, and clearing
pstore storage for future error events.
Linux provides a persistent storage file system, pstore[1], that can store
error records when the kernel dies (or reboots or powers-off). These records in
turn can be referenced to debug kernel problems (currently the kernel stuffs
the tail of the dmesg, which also contains a stack backtrace, into pstore).
The pstore file system supports a variety of backends that map onto persistent
storage, such as the ACPI ERST[2, Section 18.5 Error Serialization] and UEFI
variables[3 Appendix N Common Platform Error Record]. The pstore backends
typically offer a relatively small amount of persistent storage, e.g. 64KiB,
which can quickly fill up and thus prevent subsequent kernel crashes from
recording errors. Thus there is a need to monitor and extract the pstore
contents so that future kernel problems can also record information in the
pstore.
The pstore service is independent of the kdump service. In cloud environments
specifically, host and guest filesystems are on remote filesystems (eg. iSCSI
or NFS), thus kdump relies [implicitly and/or explicitly] upon proper operation
of networking software *and* hardware *and* infrastructure. Thus it may not be
possible to capture a kernel coredump to a file since writes over the network
may not be possible.
The pstore backend, on the other hand, is completely local and provides a path
to store error records which will survive a reboot and aid in post-mortem
debugging.
Usage Notes:
This tool moves files from /sys/fs/pstore into /var/lib/systemd/pstore.
To enable kernel recording of error records into pstore, one must either pass
crash_kexec_post_notifiers[4] to the kernel command line or enable via 'echo Y
> /sys/module/kernel/parameters/crash_kexec_post_notifiers'. This option
invokes the recording of errors into pstore *before* an attempt to kexec/kdump
on a kernel crash.
Optionally, to record reboots and shutdowns in the pstore, one can either pass
the printk.always_kmsg_dump[4] to the kernel command line or enable via 'echo Y >
/sys/module/printk/parameters/always_kmsg_dump'. This option enables code on the
shutdown path to record information via pstore.
This pstore service is a oneshot service. When run, the service invokes
systemd-pstore which is a tool that performs the following:
- reads the pstore.conf configuration file
- collects the lists of files in the pstore (eg. /sys/fs/pstore)
- for certain file types (eg. dmesg) a handler is invoked
- for all other files, the file is moved from pstore
- In the case of dmesg handler, final processing occurs as such:
- files processed in reverse lexigraphical order to faciliate
reconstruction of original dmesg
- the filename is examined to determine which dmesg it is a part
- the file is appended to the reconstructed dmesg
For example, the following pstore contents:

Configuration file:
The pstore.conf configuration file has four settings, described below.
- Storage : one of "none", "external", or "journal". With "none", this
tool leaves the contents of pstore untouched. With "external", the
contents of the pstore are moved into the /var/lib/systemd/pstore,
as well as logged into the journal. With "journal", the contents of
the pstore are recorded only in the systemd journal. The default is
"external".
- Unlink : is a boolean. When "true", the default, then files in the
pstore are removed once processed. When "false", processing of the
pstore occurs normally, but the pstore files remain.

Change the resolved.conf Cache option to a tri-state "no, no-negative, yes" values.
If a lookup returns SERVFAIL systemd-resolved will cache the result for 30s (See 201d995),
however, there are several use cases on which this condition is not acceptable (See systemd#5552 comments)
and the only workaround would be to disable cache entirely or flush it , which isn't optimal.
This change adds the 'no-negative' option when set it avoids putting in cache
negative answers but still works the same heuristics for positive answers.

The description of Alias= wasn't incorrect, but it sounded like Alias= creates
a different type of dependency, while it's just a glorified way to create
symlinks. Also recommend 'preset' in addition to 'enable'.
Describe .wants/.requires dirs as equals, without implying that the [Install]
section can only be used for .wants.
The text was partially out of date (systemd-networkd.service now creates as
alias in /etc, not /usr/lib, let's just not say anything about the full path).
Current operation of system-update-cleanup.service (removing /system-update
symlink and rebooting) implies that any update must complete *before*
system-update.target is reached.

Before only one comparison was allowed. Let's make this more flexible:
ConditionKernelVersion = ">=4.0" "<=4.5"
Fixes#12881.
This also fixes expressions like "ConditionKernelVersion=>" which would
evaluate as true.
Originally the description of conditions was brief, so it was acceptable
to put this part at the end. But now we have a myriad conditions, and
this crucial bit of information is easy to miss.

Make possible to set NUMA allocation policy for manager. Manager's
policy is by default inherited to all forked off processes. However, it
is possible to override the policy on per-service basis. Currently we
support, these policies: default, prefer, bind, interleave, local.
See man 2 set_mempolicy for details on each policy.
Overall NUMA policy actually consists of two parts. Policy itself and
bitmask representing NUMA nodes where is policy effective. Node mask can
be specified using related option, NUMAMask. Default mask can be
overwritten on per-service level.
These options are pretty much equivalent to "journal" and
"journal+console" anyway, let's simplify things, and drop them from the
documentation hence.
For compat reasons let's keep them in the code.
(Note that they are not 100% identical to 'journal', but I doubt the
distinction in behaviour is really relevant to keep this in the docs.
And we should probably should drop 'syslog' entirely from our codebase
eventually, but it's problematic as long as we semi-support udev on
non-systemd systems still.)
This is for 6d36464065. It turns out that this is causing more problems than

Adds the resumeflags= kernel command line option to allow setting a

The synopsis section would describe config file paths, but not their

remind oneself what the different letter mean.
It was impossible to view systemd.nspawn(5), because systemd-nspawn(1) was matched
also, and happened to be earlier in the list. The solution in this patch is pretty
crude, but is should be enough for our purposes, since we don't have any regexp
special characters in man page names except for the dot.
This makes the handling of this option match what we do in unit files. I think
consistency is important here. (As it happens, it is the only option in
system.conf that is "non-atomic", i.e. where there's a list of things which can
be split over multiple assignments. All other options are single-valued, so
there's no issue of how to handle multiple assignments.)
We now don't have the support to delete netdevs and dependent
upon iproute to delete. With this we can delete via networkctl
and use in our test cases too.
Note that it supports deleting multiple links at once.

This text was written a long time ago, when we mostly talked about "service

be just an instance of a template, or an alias to another service. So let's use

To access a shell on a disk image, the man page on Fedora-29 says to

Now invoke `systemd-nspawn` as noted in the man page:

No image for machine 'Fedora-Cloud-Base-30-1.2.x86_64.raw'.
Removing the ".raw" extension launches the image and gives a shell.

This patch adds netdev ipvtap that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'kind ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.
The comment in udev-builtin-net_id.c (removed in grandparent commit) showed the
property without the prefix. I assume that was always the intent, because it
doesn't make much sense to concatenate anything to an arbitrary user-specified
field.
I decided to make this a separate man page because it is freakin' long.
This content could equally well go in systemd-udevd.service(8), systemd.link(5),
or a new man page for the net_id builtin.
v2:
- rename to systemd.net-naming-scheme
- add udevadm test-builtin net_id example
Man page generation is generally very slow. I prefer to use -Dman=false when
developing systemd, and only build specific pages when introducing changes.
Those two little helper tools make it easy:
$ build/man/man systemd.link
$ build/man/html systemd.link
will show systemd.link.8 and systemd.link.html from the build directory build/.

2. test-network: rename VXLAN Id to VNI
3. fuzzer: Add VXLAN VNI directive to fuzzer
