This is really confusing, let's try to clean this up a bit, in
particular as there are two very similar concepts:
1. The boot loaders, i.e. the category you find systemd-boot, the
Windows and Apple boot loaders in. These may typically be listed in the
firmware's EFI variables.
2. The boot loader entries, as defined by the Boot Loader Spec. In this
category you find the various Linux kernels that are installed, i.e.
the stuff systemd-boot shows on screen. To make things confusing, the
Windows and Apple boot loaders can appear both as boot loaders and as
boot loader entries.
This tries to establish the following nomenclature: "boot loaders" and
"boot loader entries" for these two concepts.
boot_loader_read_conf(), boot_entries_find(), boot_entries_load_config()
all log their errors internally, hence no need to log a second or third
time about the same error when they return.
We do these checks only for the high-level calls as for the low-level
ones it might make sense in some exotic uses to read the host EFI data
from a container or so.
We already synchronize all files we write individually, as well as the
directories they are stored in. Let's also synchronize the ESP as a
whole after our work, just in case.
Note that this breaks compatibility with older versions, as the detach
code won't find unit files attached with older releases anymore. But
given that the portable service logic was not deemed stable so far, and
this was explicitly documented and enforced through portablectl's
installation to /usr/lib/systemd/ such a compat breakage should be fine.
Let's separate out the unit files copied from attached portable service
image files from the admin's own files. Let's introduce
/etc/systemd/system.attached/ + /run/systemd/system.attached/ for the
files of portable services, and leave /etc/systemd/system/ and
/run/systemd/system/ for the admin.
/etc/systemd/sleep.conf gains four new switches:
AllowSuspend=, AllowHibernation=, AllowSuspendThenHibernate=, AllowHybridSleep=.
Disabling specific modes was already possible by masking suspend.target,
hibernate.target, suspend-then-hibernate.target, or hybrid-sleep.target.
But this is not convenient for distributions, which want to set some defaults
based on what they want to support. Having those available as configuration
makes it easy to put a config file in /usr/lib/systemd/sleep.conf.d/ that
overrides the defaults and gives instructions how to undo that override.
Comes with tests.
Also add direct test for $SYSTEMD_PROC_CMDLINE.
In test-proc-cmdline, "true" was masquerading as PROC_CMDLINE_STRIP_RD_PREFIX,
fix that. Also, reorder functions to match call order.
For non-`seat0` seats, attaching a graphics card to a seat can
lead to it getting created. This is because the graphics device
is a "master device" which means that device is a seat-defining
device.
`seat0` may get created, even before the graphics driver is loaded,
though. This is because the graphics driver is loaded
asynchronously at startup, and `seat0` is the primary seat of
system, associated with the system VTs.
When a graphics card is attached to a seat the `CanGraphical`
property on that seat will flip to `true`.
For seats that haven't been created yet (non-`seat0` seats), this
leads to `seat_start` getting called which ultimately causes the
seat to get serialized to `/run/systemd/seats`.
For `seat0`, which is already created, `seat_start` will return
immediately, which means the updated `CanGraphical` state will
never get written to `/run/systemd/seats`.
The end result is that clients querying `sd_seat_can_graphical`
won't get the correct answer for `seat0` in cases where the
graphics device takes a long time to load until some other peice
of seat state is updated.
This commit fixes the problem by calling `seat_save` explicitly
for already running seats at the time a graphics device is
attached.
We are not the ones receiving an error here, but the ones generating it,
hence we shouldn't show it with %m, that's just confusing, as it
suggests we received an error from some other call.
Previously, together with kill_dots true, patch like
".", "./.", ".//.//" would all return an empty string.
That is wrong. There must be one "." left to reference
the current directory.
Also, the comment with examples was wrong.
