Six years ago we declared it obsolete and removed it from the docs
(c073a0c4a5) and added a note about it in
NEWS. Two years ago we add warning messages about it, indicating the
feature will be removed (41b283d0f1) and
mentioned it in NEWS again.
Let's now kill it for good.
Based on an internal discussion whether emergency.target should remount disks
ro, or maybe remount them rw, or do nothing. In some cases people want to boot
ro, and always remounting rw would break that. In other cases, remounting disks
ro after they have already been mounted rw is mostly pointless and might even
not be possible. So let's just document that we don't change the state.
Also: any→other, since emergency.service *is* pulled in.
Also: just advertise "emergency" as the way to boot into the target.
We are not going to remove this option, and it's way easier to type than
"systemd.unit=emergency.target".
In DHCPv6-PD environment, where WAN interface requests IPv6 via DHCPv6,
receives the address as well as delegated prefixes, with LAN interfaces
serving those delegated prefixes in their router advertisement messages.
The LAN interfaces on the router themselves do not have
the IPv6 addresses assigned by networkd from the prefix it
serves on that interface. Now this patch enables it.
Clean up the naming of the sd-path enums. Previously, the more recently
added fields where named in the form SD_PATH_xyz_DIR and
SD_PATH_xyz_PATH, while the older fields where called just SD_PATH_xyz
and SD_PATH_SEARCH_xyz. Let's clean this up, to come to a more unified
way how we name this stuff.
I opted to stick to the old naming, i.e. dropthe suffixes. It's a bit of
a bike-shedding question of course, but I think there's a good reason to
avoid the additional DIR and PATH suffixes: the enum prefix contains
"PATH" anyway (i.e. "SD_PATH_"), so including PATH twice in each name is
redundant. Moreover, the key difference between the enums with the "dir"
and the "path" in the name is that the latter are *seach* paths, and I
think this is better emphasized by sticking to the "SEARCH" in the name.
Moreover dropping the suffixes makes the identifiers a lot shorter, in
particular in the "systemd-path" list output. And that's always good.
This means the naming pkgconfig file and in sd-path slightly deviate
(though the mapping is very simple), but I think that's OK, given that
this is developer facing and not user facing.
This generator can be used by desktop environments to launch autostart
applications and services. The feature is an opt-in, triggered by
xdg-desktop-autostart.target being activated.
Also included is the new binary xdg-autostart-condition. This binary is
used as an ExecCondition to test the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn XDG
desktop file keys. These need to be evaluated against the
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable which may not be known at
generation time.

It doesn't make much sense to have ConfigureWithoutCarrier set, but not
IgnoreCarrierLoss; all the configuration added during initial interface
bring-up will be lost at the first carrier up/down.
This allows users to configure a subnet id that should be used instead
of automatically (sequentially) assigned subnets. The previous attempt
had the downside that the subnet id would not be the same between
networkd restarts. In some setups it is desirable to have predictable
subnet ids across restarts of services and systems.
The code for the assignment had to be broken up into two pieces. One of
them is the old (sequential) assignment of prefixes and the other is the
new assignment based on configured subnet ids. The new assignment code
has to be executed first and has to be taken into account when (later
on) allocating the "old" subnets from the same pool.
Instead of having one iteration through the links we are now trying to
allocate a prefix for every link on every delegated prefix, unless they
received an assignment in a previous iteration.
Defines how link-local and autoconf addresses are generated.
0: generate address based on EUI64 (default)
1: do no generate a link-local address, use EUI64 for addresses generated
from autoconf
2: generate stable privacy addresses, using the secret from
stable_secret (RFC7217)
3: generate stable privacy addresses, using a random secret if unset
This variable is read by the module and can be used instead of the
suspend= PAM module parameter.
It is also set for the session itself to make debugging easy.
Much like systemd.condition-needs-update= this new switch allows
overriding of a unit file condition, but this time its
ConditionFirstBoot=.
Usecase is also primarily debugging, but could be useful for other
schemes too.
The systemd pstore service archives the contents of /sys/fs/pstore
upon boot so that there is room for a subsequent dump. The issue is
that while the service is present, the kernel still needs to be
configured to write data into the pstore. The kernel has two
parameters, crash_kexec_post_notifiers and printk.always_kmsg_dump,
that control writes into pstore.
The crash_kexec_post_notifiers parameter enables the kernel to write
dmesg (including stack trace) into pstore upon a panic, and
printk.always_kmsg_dump parameter enables the kernel to write dmesg
upon a shutdown (shutdown, reboot, halt).
As it stands today, these parameters are not managed/manipulated by
the systemd pstore service, and are solely reliant upon the user [to
have the foresight] to set them on the kernel command line at boot, or
post boot via sysfs. Furthermore, the user would need to set these
parameters in a persistent fashion so that that they are enabled on
subsequent reboots.
This patch introduces the setting of these two kernel parameters via
the systemd tmpfiles technique.
Link groups are similar to port ranges found in managed switches.
You can add network interfaces to a numbered group and perform operations
on all the interfaces from that group at once.
These arguments contain UserRecord structures serialized to JSON,
however only the "secret" part of it, not a whole user record. We do
this since the secret part is conceptually part of the user record and
in some contexts we need a user record in full with both secret and
non-secret part, and in others just the secret and in other just the
non-secret part, but we want to keep this in memory in the same logic.
Hence, let's rename the arguments where we expect a user record
consisting only of the secret part to "secret".
Fixes: #15757
(Note there's quite some confusion regarding "exit status" vs. "exit
code" in the docs here. We should clean this up fully one day. This
change tries to fix some occasions of the wrong use, but not all.)
I was looking for the explanation for the exclamation mark in the text,
and couldn't find it, searching for "!". Let's make this easier, and
indicate the character meant.
As described in #15603, it is a fairly common setup to use a fqdn as the
configured hostname. But it is often convenient to use just the actual
hostname, i.e. until the first dot. This adds support in tmpfiles, sysusers,
and unit files for %l which expands to that.
Fixes#15603.
