Make Type=idle communication bidirectional: when bootup is finished,
the manager, as before, signals idling Type=idle jobs to continue.
However, if the boot takes too long, idling jobs signal the manager
that they have had enough, wait a tiny bit more, and continue, taking
ownership of the console. The manager, when signalled that Type=idle
jobs are done, makes a note and will not write to the console anymore.
This is a cosmetic issue, but quite noticable, so let's just fix it.
Based on Harald Hoyer's patch.

Since we'll unload all units/job during a reload, and then readd them it
is really useful for clients to be aware of this phase hence sent a
signal out before and after. This signal is called "Reloading" (despite
the fact that it is also sent out during reexecution, which we consider
a special case in this context) and has one boolean parameter which is
true for the signal sent before the reload, and false for the signal
after the reload. The UnitRemoved/JobRremoved and UnitNew/JobNew due to
the reloading are guranteed to be between the pair of Reloading
messages.
Since we should allow registering/unregistering transient units with the
same name in a tight-loop, we need to make the GC more aggressive, so
that dead units are cleaned up immediately instead of later.
hence, execute the GC sweep on every event loop iteration and clean up
units. This of course, means we need to be careful with adding units to
the GC queue, which we already are since we execute check_gc() of each
unit type already when adding something to the queue.
Transient units can be created via the bus API. They are configured via
the method call parameters rather than on-disk files. They are subject
to normal GC. Transient units currently may only be created for
services (however, we will extend this), and currently only ExecStart=
and the cgroup parameters can be configured (also to be extended).
Transient units require a unique name, that previously had no
configuration file on disk.
A tool systemd-run is added that makes use of this functionality to run
arbitrary command lines as transient services:
$ systemd-run /bin/ping www.heise.de
Will cause systemd to create a new transient service and run ping in it.
Replace the very generic cgroup hookup with a much simpler one. With
this change only the high-level cgroup settings remain, the ability to
set arbitrary cgroup attributes is removed, so is support for adding
units to arbitrary cgroup controllers or setting arbitrary paths for
them (especially paths that are different for the various controllers).
This also introduces a new -.slice root slice, that is the parent of
system.slice and friends. This enables easy admin configuration of
root-level cgrouo properties.
This replaces DeviceDeny= by DevicePolicy=, and implicitly adds in
/dev/null, /dev/zero and friends if DeviceAllow= is used (unless this is
turned off by DevicePolicy=).
This complements existing functionality of setting variables
through 'systemctl set-environment', the kernel command line,
and through normal environment variables for systemd in session
mode.
This will add another color to the legend called "Loading unit files"
Like the generators it will mark a part of the systemd bar indicating
the time spent while loading unit files.
This partially reverts commit c3a170f3, which moved
efi_get_boot_timestamps too early in main(), before
/sys is assured to be mounted

[tomegun: in particular /sys/firmware/efi/efivars needs to be
mounted, which is not a problem if a systemd-initramfs containing
the correct module is being used. But not everyone uses an
initramfs...]
When a trigger unit wants to know if a stop is queued for it, we should
just check precisely that and do not check whether it is actually
stopped already. This is because we use these checks usually from state
change calls where the state variables are not updated yet.
This change splits unit_pending_inactive() into two calls
unit_inactive_or_pending() and unit_stop_pending(). The former checks
state and pending jobs, the latter only pending jobs.
The time for systemd initialization and selinux policy loading
is accounted to the initrd or the kernel, which is wrong.
Instead of:
Startup finished in 5.559s (firmware) + 36ms (loader) + 665ms (kernel) +
975ms (initrd) + 1.410s (userspace) = 8.647s
the more correct output is:
Startup finished in 5.559s (firmware) + 36ms (loader) + 665ms (kernel) +
475ms (initrd) + 1.910s (userspace) = 8.647s
They are irrelevant and misleading.
E.g. systemd-analyze:
Startup finished in 6d 4h 15min 32.330s (kernel) + 49ms 914us (userspace) = 6d 4h 15min 32.380s
becomes
Startup finished in 53.735ms (userspace) = 53.735ms
which looks much better :)
When switching root, i.e. LANG can be set to the locale of the initramfs
or "C", if it was unset. When systemd deserializes LANG in the real root
this would overwrite the setting previously gathered by locale_set().
To reproduce, boot with an initramfs without locale.conf or change
/etc/locale.conf to a different language than the initramfs and check a
daemon started by systemd:
$ tr "$\000" '\n' </proc/$(pidof sshd)/environ | grep LANG
LANG=C
To prevent that, serialization of environment variables is skipped, when
serializing for switching root.

Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.
A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:
$ size build/.libs/systemd
text data bss dec hex filename
before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd
… actually less than 1‰.
A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
Instead of outputting "5h 55s 50ms 3us" we'll now output "5h
55.050003s". Also, while outputting the accuracy is configurable.
Basically we now try use "dot notation" for all time values > 1min. For
>= 1s we use 's' as unit, otherwise for >= 1ms we use 'ms' as unit, and
finally 'us'.
This should give reasonably values in most cases.
All Execs within the service, will get mounted the same
/tmp and /var/tmp directories, if service is configured with
PrivateTmp=yes. Temporary directories are cleaned up by service
itself in addition to systemd-tmpfiles. Directory which is mounted
as inaccessible is created at runtime in /run/systemd.
Harald encountered division by zero in manager_print_jobs_in_progress.
Clearly we had the watch enabled when we shouldn't - there were no
running jobs in m->jobs, only waiting ones. This is either a deadlock,
or maybe some of them would be detected as runnable in the next dispatch
of the run queue. In any case we mustn't crash.
Fix it by starting and stopping the watch based on n_running_jobs
instead of the number of all jobs.
All active units will call unit_notify() during coldplug, so we just
make sure we're counting from zero again and get the correct result for
n_on_console.
For n_running_jobs we likewise reset it to zero and then count
the running jobs as we encounter them in deserialization.
Sometimes the boot gets stuck until a timeout hits. The usual timeouts
are on the order of minutes, so users may lose patience.
Print animated status messages telling the names of units with running
jobs to make it easy to see what systemd is waiting for.
The animation looks cooler with a shorter interval, but 1 s is OK and
should not be too hard on slow serial console users.
unit_status_printf() checks the state of the manager, not of the unit
as such. Move it to manager.c and rename it to manager_status_printf().
Temporarily keep unit_status_printf as a wrapper macro.
Add a new job mode: replace-irreversibly. Jobs enqueued using this mode
cannot be implicitly canceled by later enqueued conflicting jobs.
They can however still be canceled with an explicit "systemctl cancel"
call.
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.
This allows us to print simple performance data of all parts of the boot now:
- firmware
- boot loader
- kernel
- initrd
- userspace
This only works for bootloaders which support passing TSC data via EFI
variables. As of now that's only gummiboot.
