hibernate-resume-generator understands resume= kernel command line parameter
and instantiates the systemd-resume@.service accordingly if it is passed.
This enables resume from hibernation using device specified on the kernel
command line, and it may be specified either as "/dev/disk/by-foo/bar"
or "FOO=bar", not only "/dev/sdXY" which is understood by the in-kernel
implementation.
So now resume= is brought on par with root= in terms of possible ways to
specify a device.
This can be used to initiate a resume from hibernation by path to a swap
device containing the hibernation image.
The respective templated unit is also added. It is instantiated using
path to the desired resume device.
We generally have separate man pages for all configuration files.
In this case udev.conf was already described in systemd-udevd.service(8),
but it was hard to find. Docbook makes it hard to add a .so link from
a different section, so describe udev.conf in its own page.
As Zbigniew pointed out a new ConditionFirstBoot= appears like the nicer
way to hook in systemd-firstboot.service on first boots (those with /etc
unpopulated), so let's do this, and get rid of the generator again.
This new tool is based on "sd-path", a new (so far unexported) API for
libsystemd, that can hopefully grow into a workable API covering /opt
and more one day.
To make sure we don't delay boot on systems where (some) network links are managed by someone else
we don't block if something else has successfully brought up a link.
We will still block until all links we are aware of that are managed by networkd have been
configured, but if no such links exist, and someone else have configured a link sufficiently
that it has a carrier, it may be that the link is ready so we should no longer block.
Note that in all likelyhood the link is not ready (no addresses/routes configured),
so whatever network managment daemon configured it should provide a similar wait-online
service to block network-online.target until it is ready.
The aim is to block as long as we know networking is not fully configured, but no longer. This
will allow systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to be enabled on any system, even if we don't
know whether networkd is the main/only network manager.
Even in the case networking is fully configured by networkd, the default behavior may not be
sufficient: if two links need to be configured, but the first is fully configured before the
second one appears we will assume the network is up. To work around that, we allow specifying
specific devices to wait for before considering the network up.
This unit is enabled by default, just like systemd-networkd, but will only be pulled in if
anyone pulls in network-online.target.
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.
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.
