tcpwrap is legacy code, that is barely maintained upstream. It's APIs
are awful, and the feature set it exposes (such as DNS and IDENT
access control) questionnable. We should not support this natively in
systemd.
Hence, let's remove the code. If people want to continue making use of
this, they can do so by plugging in "tcpd" for the processes they start.
With that scheme things are as well or badly supported as they were from
traditional inetd, hence no functionality is really lost.
There's really no point to send the reboot SIGINT from machinectl
directly, if machined can do that anyway. This saves code, and
makes machinectl network transparent for these verbs. And while we are
at it we can easily add a "poweroff" verb in addition to "reboot". Yay!
Commit 4a77ca7 was an attempt at fixing the wording of --after and --before,
but the new wording was unclear.
Split the combined --after/--before section into a separate section for
each, explicitly state what each option does, and add information about
how these lists are generated.

Now --listen-http=-3 --listen-https=-4 can be used to spawn a µhttpd
server on those two ports, in http and https modes respectively.
As before, --listen-http=3 --listen-https=4 will launch µhttpd servers
on ports 3 and 4.
The whole tool is made dependent on µhttpd availability. It should be
easy to make the µhttpd parts conditional, but since transfer over
HTTP seems to be the primary use case, currently this is not done.
Current implementation uses nested epoll loops: sd-event is used for
the external event loop, and µhttpd uses epoll in its own
loop. Unfortunately µhttpd does not expose enough information to add
the descriptors it uses to the external event loop. This means that
starvation of other events is possible, if one of the inner µhttpd
loops is constantly busy. This means that µhttpd servers should not
be mixed with other sources.
The TLS authentication parts haven't been really tested properly, and
should not be take too seriously.
This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in
users (like wall).
Two options are added:
* ForwardToWall (default yes)
* MaxLevelWall (default emerg)
'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option
'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'.
This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending
emergency messages to all logged in users.
This makes it possible to initialize the /etc/machine-id file on an
arbitrary filesystem hierarchy. This helps systems that wish to run
this at image creation time in a subdirectory, or from initramfs before
pivot-root is called.

"systemctl list-machines" shows one line per local container which
includes the current system state of the container, the number of failed
units as well as the number of currently queued jobs.
The new calls work similarly, but enforce a that a common, fixed bus
path prefix is used.
This follows discussions with Simon McVittie on IRC that it should be a
good idea to make sure that people don't use the escaping applied here
too wildly as anything other than the last label of a bus path.
When run in an initrd and no root= argument is set (or is set to
root=gpt-auto) we will automatically look for the root partition on the
same disk the EFI ESP is located on.
Since we look for swap, /home and /srv on the disk the root partition is
located on, we hence have a fully discoverable chain:
Firmware discovers the EFI ESP partition → the initrd discovers the
root partition → the host OS discovers swap, /home, and /srv.
Note that this requires an EFI boot loader that sets the
LoaderDevicePartUUID EFI variable, such as Gummiboot.
The code for parsing these properties is shared with "systemctl
set-property", which means all the resource control settings are
immediately available.
This way each user allocates from his own pool, with its own size limit.
This puts the size limit by default to 10% of the physical RAM size but
makes it configurable in logind.conf.
Previously we expected the desktop environment to take an inhibitor
lock, but this opened a race on boot-up where logind might already be
running but no DE is active.
Hence, let's move checking for additional displays into logind. This
also opens up this logic for other DEs, given that only GNOME
implemented the inhibitor logic so far.
