These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This majorly refactors the transient unit file and drop-in writing
logic, so that we properly C-escape and specifier-escape (% → %%)
everything we write out, so that when we read it back again, specifiers
are parsed that aren't supposed to be parsed.
This renames unit_write_drop_in() and friends by unit_write_setting().
The name change is supposed to clarify that the functions are not only
used to write drop-in files, but also transient unit files.
The previous "mode" parameter to this function is replaced by a more
generic "flags", which knows additional flags for implicit C-style and
specifier escaping before writing things out. This can cover most
properties where either form of escaping is defined. For the cases where
this isn't sufficient, we add helpers unit_escape_setting() and
unit_concat_strv() for escaping individual strings or strvs properly.
While we are at it, we also prettify generation of transient unit files:
we try to reduce the number of section headers written out: previously
we'd write the right section header our for each setting. With this
change we do so only if the setting lives in a different section than
the one before.
(This should also be considered preparation for when we add proper APIs
to systemd to write normal, persistant unit files through the bus API)
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
The cgroup attribute memory.soft_limit_in_bytes is unlikely to stay
around in the kernel for good, so let's not expose it for now. We can
readd something like it later when the kernel guys decided on a final
API for this.
This introduces two bus calls to make runtime changes to selected bus
properties, optionally with persistence.
This currently hooks this up only for three cgroup atributes, but this
brings the infrastructure to add more changable attributes.
This allows setting multiple attributes at once, and takes an array
rather than a dictionary of properties, in order to implement simple
resetting of lists using the same approach as when they are sourced from
unit files. This means, that list properties are appended to by this
call, unless they are first reset via assigning the empty list.
Replace the very generic cgroup hookup with a much simpler one. With
this change only the high-level cgroup settings remain, the ability to
set arbitrary cgroup attributes is removed, so is support for adding
units to arbitrary cgroup controllers or setting arbitrary paths for
them (especially paths that are different for the various controllers).
This also introduces a new -.slice root slice, that is the parent of
system.slice and friends. This enables easy admin configuration of
root-level cgrouo properties.
This replaces DeviceDeny= by DevicePolicy=, and implicitly adds in
/dev/null, /dev/zero and friends if DeviceAllow= is used (unless this is
turned off by DevicePolicy=).
