It's primarily just a property of the Manager object after all, and we
try to refer to PID 1 as "manager" instead of "systemd", hence let's to
stick to this here too.
With debugging on, sysv-generator would print the full set of
lookup paths for *every* sysv script.
While at it, pass LookupPaths as a pointer in sysv-generator,
and constify it everywhere.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
Generators are different than unit files: they are never automatically
generated, so there's no point in allowing /etc to override /run. On
the other hand, overriding /etc might be useful in some cases.
Sometimes it is necessary to stop a generator from running. Either
because of a bug, or for testing, or some other reason. The only way
to do that would be to rename or chmod the generator binary, which is
inconvenient and does not survive upgrades. Allow masking and
overriding generators similarly to units and other configuration
files.
For the systemd instance, masking would be more common, rather than
overriding generators. For the user instances, it may also be useful
for users to have generators in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to augment or
override system-wide generators.
Directories are searched according to the usual scheme (/usr/lib,
/usr/local/lib, /run, /etc), and files with the same name in higher
priority directories override files with the same name in lower
priority directories. Empty files and links to /dev/null mask a given
name.

This patch adds a transient user unit directory under
`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/user/` and stores transient user-instance
units (such as those created by `systemd-run --user`) under there
instead of putting them in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/systemd/user/.

We already encourage upstreams to keep the default configuration
separate from user customizations for software that is installed in
the system location. Let's allow that separation also for software
that is installed in the home directory.
Some discussion:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/19627
Since 12ed81d9 path_strv_canonicalize_absolute leaves the search list
relative to the given root directory instead of resolving paths to their
true location as the name implies. To better reflect this behavior
rename to the less strongly worded path_strv_resolve.
Running systemctl enable/disable/set-default/... with the --root
option under strace reveals that it accessed various files and
directories in the main fs, and not underneath the specified root.
This can lead to correct results only when the layout and
configuration in the container are identical, which often is not the
case. Fix this by adding the specified root to all file access
operations.
This patch does not handle some corner cases: symlinks which point
outside of the specified root might be interpreted differently than
they would be by the kernel if the specified root was the real root.
But systemctl does not create such symlinks by itself, and I think
this is enough of a corner case not to be worth the additional
complexity of reimplementing link chasing in systemd.
Also, simplify the code in a few places and remove an hypothetical
memory leak on error.
The conf_files_list family accepts an alternate root path to prefix all
directories in the list but path_strv_canonicalize_uniq doesn't use it.
This results in the suspicious behavior of resolving directory symlinks
based on the contents of / instead of the alternate root.
This adds a prefix argument to path_strv_canonicalize which will now
prepend the prefix, if given, to every path in the list. To avoid
answering what a relative path means when called with a root prefix
path_strv_canonicalize is now path_strv_canonicalize_absolute and only
considers absolute paths. Fortunately all users of already call
path_strv_canonicalize with a list of absolute paths.
- turn strv_merge into strv_extend_strv.
appending strv b to the end of strv a instead of creating a new strv
- strv_append: remove in favor of strv_extend and strv_push.
- strv_remove: write slightly more elegant
- strv_remove_prefix: remove unused function
- strv_overlap: use strv_contains
- strv_printf: STRV_FOREACH handles NULL correctly
This partially reverts 7ad94c716d.
After that commit commands such as "systemctl enable" and friends
printed the search path information multiple times in its output, which
is ugly.
If we want the search paths to be printed at a higher log level, then we
should do this in PID 1 only, i.e. split the printing out of the normal
path lookup logic and invoke that explicitly from PID 1 but not in the
auxiliary tools.
This introduces a new static list of known attributes and their special
semantics. This means that cgroup attribute values can now be
automatically translated from user to kernel notation for command line
set settings, too.
This also adds proper support for multi-line attributes.
The ability to start a new unit with 'systemctl start ...' should not
depend on whether there are other units in the directory. Previously,
an additional 'systemctl daemon-reload' would be necessary to tell
systemd to update the list of unit lookup paths.
Note: I did s/MANAGER/SYSTEMD/ everywhere, even though it makes the
patch quite verbose. Nevertheless, keeping MANAGER prefix in some
places, and SYSTEMD prefix in others would just lead to confusion down
the road. Better to rip off the band-aid now.
Previously generated units were always placed at the end of the search
path. With this change there will be three unit dirs instead of one, to
place generated entries at the beginning, in the middle and at the end
of the search path:
beginning: for units that need to override all configuration, regardless
of user or vendor. Example use: system-update-generator uses this to
temporarily redirect default.target.
middle: for units that need to override vendor configuration, but not
vendor configuration. Example use: /etc/fstab should override vendor
supplied configuration (think /tmp), but should not override native user
configuration.
end: does not override anything but is available as well. Possible usage
might be to convert D-Bus bus service files to native units but allowing
vendor supplied native units to win.
