Like systemd-subterm, this new systemd-evcat tool should only be used to
debug libsystemd-terminal. systemd-evcat attaches to the running session
and pushes all evdev devices attached to the current session into an
idev-session. All events of the created idev-devices are then printed to
stdout for input-event debugging.
The idev-keyboard object provides keyboard devices to the idev interface.
It uses libxkbcommon to provide proper keymap support.
So far, the keyboard implementation is pretty straightforward with one
keyboard device per matching evdev element. We feed everything into the
system keymap and provide proper high-level keyboard events to the
application. Compose-features and IM need to be added later.
The evdev-element provides linux evdev interfaces as idev-elements. This
way, all real input hardware devices on linux can be used with the idev
interface.
We use libevdev to interface with the kernel. It's a simple wrapper
library around the kernel evdev API that takes care to resync devices
after kernel-queue overflows, which is a rather non-trivial task.
Furthermore, it's a well tested interface used by all other major input
users (Xorg, weston, libinput, ...).
Last but not least, it provides nice keycode to keyname lookup tables (and
vice versa), which is really nice for debugging input problems.
The idev-interface provides input drivers for all libsystemd-terminal
based applications. It is split into 4 main objects:
idev_context: The context object tracks global state of the input
interface. This will include data like system-keymaps,
xkb contexts and more.
idev_session: A session serves as controller for a set of devices.
Each session on an idev-context is independent of each
other. The session is also the main notification object.
All events raised via idev are reported through the
session interface. Apart of that, the session is a
pretty dumb object that just contains devices.
idev_element: Elements provide real hardware in the idev stack. For
each hardware device, one element is added. Elements
have no knowledge of higher-level device types, they
only provide raw input data to the upper levels. For
example, each evdev device is represented by a different
element in an idev session.
idev_device: Devices are objects that the application deals with. An
application is usually not interested in elements (and
those are hidden to applications), instead, they want
high-level input devices like keyboard, touchpads, mice
and more. Device are the high-level interface provided
by idev. Each device might be fed by a set of elements.
Elements drive the device. If elements are removed,
devices are destroyed. If elements are added, suitable
devices are created.
Applications should monitor the system for sessions and hardware devices.
For each session they want to operate on, they create an idev_session
object and add hardware to that object. The idev interface requires the
application to monitor the system (preferably via sysview_*, but not
required) for hardware devices. Whenever hardware is added to the idev
session, new devices *might* be created. The relationship between hardware
and high-level idev-devices is hidden in the idev-session and not exposed.
Internally, the idev elements and devices are virtual objects. Each real
hardware and device type inherits those virtual objects and provides real
elements and devices. Those types will be added in follow-up commits.
Data flow from hardware to the application is done via idev_*_feed()
functions. Data flow from applications to hardware is done via
idev_*_feedback() functions. Feedback is usually used for LEDs, FF and
similar operations.
We're going to need multiple binaries that provide session-services via
logind device management. To avoid re-writing the seat/session/device
scan/monitor interface for each of them, this commit adds a generic helper
to libsystemd-terminal:
The sysview interface scans and tracks seats, sessions and devices on a
system. It basically mirrors the state of logind on the application side.
Now, each session-service can listen for matching sessions and
attach to them. On each session, managed device access is provided. This
way, it is pretty simple to write session-services that attach to multiple
sessions (even split across seats).
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.
When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the
failure actions already implemented for services that fail.
This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops
which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This
devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the
easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system
turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while.
When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the
machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't
even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example
because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters.
Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those
easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
In contrast to the DHCP/IPv4LL/ICMP6 APIs sd-network is not a protocol
implementation but a client API for networkd, hence move it into
libsystemd proper.
In the long run this should become a full fledged client to networkd
(but not before networkd learns bus support). For now, just pull
interesting data out of networkd, udev, and rtnl and present it to the
user, in a simple but useful output.
We are unlikely to evert support most of them, but we can at least
display the types properly.
The list is taken from the IANA list.
The table of number->name mappings is converted to a switch
statement. gcc does a nice job of optimizing lookup (when optimization
is enabled).
systemd-resolve-host -t is now case insensitive.
We now maintain two lists of DNS servers: system servers and fallback
servers.
system servers are used in combination with any per-link servers.
fallback servers are only used if there are no system servers or
per-link servers configured.
The system server list is supposed to be populated from a foreign tool's
/etc/resolv.conf (not implemented yet).
Also adds a configuration switch for LLMNR, that allows configuring
whether LLMNR shall be used simply for resolving or also for responding.
Make sure we format UTF-8 labels as IDNA when writing them to DNS
packets, and as native UTF-8 when writing them to mDNS or LLMNR packets.
When comparing or processing labels always consider native UTF-8 and
IDNA formats equivalent.
LOC records have a version field. So far only version 0 has been
published, but if a record with a different version was encountered,
our only recourse is to treat it as an unknown type. This is
implemented with the 'unparseable' flag, which causes the
serialization/deserialization and printing function to cause the
record as a blob. The flag can be used if other packet types cannot be
parsed for whatever reason.
This tool will warn about misspelt directives, unknown sections, and
non-executable commands. It will also catch the common mistake of
using Accept=yes with a non-template unit and vice versa.

Commit 637f421e5c ("cgroups: always propagate controller membership
to siblings") changed the mask propagation logic, but the test wasn't
updated.
Move to normal tests from manual tests, it should not touch the system
anymore.
Also add a bit of debugging output to help diagnose problems,
add missing units, and simplify cppflags.
Move test-engine to normal tests from manual tests, it should now
work without destroying the system.
