exit.target is now used for both system and user sessions,
so remove "on user service manager exit". Also reword that
paragraph: services will be killed before the manager exits,
even if they do not conflict with shutdown target, but we
recommend that they conflict with shutdown target so that
systemd schedules them to be stopped immediately when starting
to exit.
In the first paragraph, containers should be mentioned last,
and the more general systems first.
When a systemd service running in a container exits with a non-zero
code, it can be useful to terminate the container immediately and get
the exit code back to the host, when systemd-nspawn returns. This was
not possible to do. This patch adds the following to make it possible:
- Add a read-only "ExitCode" property on PID 1's "Manager" bus object.
By default, it is 0 so the behaviour stays the same as previously.
- Add a method "SetExitCode" on the same object. The method fails when
called on baremetal: it is only allowed in containers or in user
session.
- Add support in systemctl to call "systemctl exit 42". It reuses the
existing code for user session.
- Add exit.target and systemd-exit.service to the system instance.
- Change main() to actually call systemd-shutdown to exit() with the
correct value.
- Add verb 'exit' in systemd-shutdown with parameter --exit-code
- Update systemctl manpage.
I used the following to test it:
| $ sudo rkt --debug --insecure-skip-verify run \
| --mds-register=false --local docker://busybox \
| --exec=/bin/chroot -- /proc/1/root \
| systemctl --force exit 42
| ...
| Container rkt-895a0cba-5c66-4fa5-831c-e3f8ddc5810d failed with error code 42.
| $ echo $?
| 42

This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.
* by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
could ship this.
* this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
we could ship with this patch.
* we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
probably question if it makes sense at all.
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.
Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.
This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220
The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html
This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.
These will be handled separately by follow up patches.
Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
/usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.
Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.
In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.
By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.
The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.
Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.
Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
network-pre.target is a passive target that should be pulled in by
services that want to be executed before any network is configured (for
example: firewall scrips).
network-pre.target should be ordered before all network managemet
services (but not be pulled in by them).
network-pre.target should be order after all services that want to be
executed before any network is configured (and be pulled in by them).
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous
comma placement fixes…
Highligts in this particular commit:
- the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type
"unsigned int"
- alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how
numbers get sorted)
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and
orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.
In this particular commit:
- the usual comma fixes
- expand contractions (this is prose)
This introduces remote-fs-setup.target independently of
remote-fs-pre.target. The former is only for pulling things in, the
latter only for ordering.
The new semantics:
remote-fs-setup.target: is pulled in automatically by all remote mounts.
Shall be used to pull in other units that want to run when at least one
remote mount is set up. Is not ordered against the actual mount units,
in order to allow activation of its dependencies even 'a posteriori',
i.e. when a mount is established outside of systemd and is only picked
up by it.
remote-fs-pre.target: needs to be pulled in automatically by the
implementing service, is otherwise not part of the initial transaction.
This is ordered before all remote mount units.
A service that wants to be pulled in and run before all remote mounts
should hence have:
a) WantedBy=remote-fs-setup.target -- so that it is pulled in
b) Wants=remote-fs-pre.target + Before=remote-fs-pre.target -- so that
it is ordered before the mount point, normally.
First, rename root-fs.target to initrd-root-fs.target to clarify its usage.
Mount units with "x-initrd-rootfs.mount" are now ordered before
initrd-root-fs.target. As we sometimes construct /sysroot mounts in
/etc/fstab in the initrd, we want these to be mounted before the
initrd-root-fs.target is active.
initrd.target can be the default target in the initrd.

Instead of using local-fs*.target in the initrd, use root-fs.target for
sysroot.mount and initrd-fs.target for /sysroot/usr and friends.
Using local-fs.target would mean to carry over the activated
local-fs.target to the isolated initrd-switch-root.target and thus in
the real root. Having local-fs.target already active after
deserialization causes ordering problems with the real root services and
targets.
We better isolate to targets for initrd-switch-root.target, which are
only available in the initrd.
We no longer allow early-boot init scripts, however in late boot the
syslog socket and local mounts are established anyway, so let's simplify
our dep graph a bit.
If $syslog doesn't resolve to syslog.target anymore there's no reason to
keep syslog.target around anymore. Let's remove it.
Note that many 3rd party service unit files order themselves after
syslog.target. These will be dangling dependencies now, which should be
unproblematic, however.
Systemd should not introduce any new facilities. Distributions which still
need to support their non-standard/legacy facilities should add them as
patches to their packaging.
The following facilities are no longer recognized:
$x-display-manager
$mail-transfer-agent
$mail-transport-agent
$mail-transfer-agent
$smtp
$null
This target is no longer available:
mail-transfer-agent.target
This was premarily intended to support the LSB facility $httpd which is
only known by Fedora, and a bad idea since it lacks any real-life
usecase.
Similar, drop support for some other old Fedora-specific facilities.
Also, document the rules for introduction of new facilities, to clarify
the situation for the future.
