Pointer acceleration for relative input devices (mice, trackballs, etc.)
applies to the deltas of the device. Alas, those deltas have no physical
reference point - a delta of 10 may be caused by a large movement of a
low-dpi mouse or by a minute movement of a high-dpi mouse.
Which makes pointer acceleration a bit useless and high-dpi devices
essentially unusable.
In an ideal world, we could read the DPI from the device directly and work
with that. In the world we actually live in, we need to compile this list
manually. This patch introduces the database, with the usual match formats
and a single property to be set on a device: MOUSE_DPI
That is either a single value for most mice, or a list of values for mice
that can change resolution at runtime. The exact format is detailed in the
hwdb file.
Note that we're explicitly overshooting the requirements we have for
libinput atm. Frequency could be detected in software and we don't
actually use the list of multiple resolutions (because we can't detect
when they change anyway). However, we might as well collect those values
from the get-go, adding/modifying what will eventually amount to hundreds
of entries is a bit cumbersome.
Note: we rely on the input_id builtin to tag us as mouse first, ordering
of the rules is important.

blueness> poettering, was there a reason for not removing
50-firmware.rules when you nuked userland firmware
loading?
Followup for v216-119-gbe2ea723b1.
SYSTEMD_READY is currently set to 0 for all loop devices (loop[0-9]*)
that do not have a backing_file. Partitioned loop devices (ex. loop0p1),
however, are matched by this rule and excluded by systemd even though
they are active devices.
This change adds an additional check to the rule, ensuring that only
top level loop devices (loop[0-9]+$) are excluded from systemd.
Re-apply the keymaps when "udevadm trigger" is called. Hooking into
"add" only would just remove all keymap content from the udev database
instead of applying the new config.
Update comment to be a bit more specific.
Change match to blacklist the serial number of the broken devices
instead of whitelisting the serial number of the fixed devices.
This allows to do something useful with the serial number in the
future.
Add the first 3270 terminal device that is associated with the Linux preferred
console to the list of virtualization consoles. This is required to
automatically start a getty if the conmode=3270 kernel parameter is specified
for Linux on z/VM instances. Note that a queued upstream patch also enable
the 3270 terminal device if it is associated with the Linux preferred console.
How
To successfully start agetty on a 3270 terminal, a change in the agetty
parameter order is required. Previously, agetty would started like this:
/sbin/agetty --keep-baud 3270/tty1 115200,38400,9600 TERM
The agetty program interprets the "3270/tty1" as baud rate and fails to start
with the "bad speed: 3270/tty1" error message. Fixing this in agetty is more
complex rather than reordering the command line parameters like this:
/sbin/agetty --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 3270/tty1 TERM
According to agetty sources and "agetty --help", agetty accepts the "tty",
"baudrate tty", and "tty baudrate" specifications.
P.S. The "tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute" introduces
a change to display the terminal device which is associated with the
Linux preferred console. This change helps to let systemd handle this
particular case only. Without the changes of this commit, no additional
3270 terminal device can be managed by systemd.

Before it was placed in /dev/disk/by-id, which makes it a bit too much
API. However, it's mostly an implementation detail for now, hence move
it out of the stable block device dir.
Check existence of loop/backing_file in sysfs and mark loop devices with
SYSTEMD_READY if missing. Such loop files is uninitialized and it's not
ready for use yet (there's no file attached).
udev seems to have a race condition with swapon to see which can open
/dev/zram0 first, causing swapon to fail. Seems to be most noticeable
on arm devices one out of every 7 times or something.
Ensure to start getty programs on all essential system consoles on Linux on
System z. Add these essential devices to the list of virtualization_consoles
to always generate getty configurations.
For the sake of completion, the list of essential consoles is:
/dev/sclp_line0 - Operating system messages applet (LPAR)
/dev/ttysclp0 - Integrated ASCII console applet (z/VM and LPAR)
/dev/ttyS0 - Already handled by systemd (3215 console on z/VM)
/dev/hvc0 - Already handled by systemd (IUCV HVC terminal on z/VM)
Depending on the environment, z/VM or LPAR, only a subset of these terminals
are available.
See also RH BZ 860158[1] "Cannot login via Operating System Console into RHEL7
instance installed on a LPAR". This bugzilla actually blocks the installation
of Linux on System z instances in LPAR mode.

The path_id-builtin provides useful unique aliases for DRM devices. If we
want to configure DRM render-nodes for compositors, we want to avoid
storing the whole sys-path in configuration files. Hence, allow users to
store the short PATH_ID instead.
Load path_id-builtin unconditionally on DRM devices now to always provide
this alias.
This introduces a new key NamePolicy, which takes an ordered list of naming
policies. The first successful one is applide. If all fail the value of Name
(if any) is used.
The possible policies are 'onboard', 'slot', 'path' and 'mac'.
This patch introduces a default link file, which replaces the equivalent udev
rule.
This tool applies hardware specific settings to network devices before they
are announced via libudev.
Settings that will probably eventually be supported are MTU, Speed,
DuplexMode, WakeOnLan, MACAddress, MACAddressPolicy (e.g., 'hardware',
'synthetic' or 'random'), Name and NamePolicy (replacing our current
interface naming logic). This patch only introduces support for
Description, as a proof of concept.
Some of these settings may later be overriden by a network management
daemon/script. However, these tools should always listen and wait on libudev
before touching a device (listening on netlink is not enough). This is no
different from how things used to be, as we always supported changing the
network interface name from udev rules, which does not work if someone
has already started using it.
The tool is configured by .link files in /etc/net/links/ (with the usual
overriding logic in /run and /lib). The first (in lexicographical order)
matching .link file is applied to a given device, and all others are ignored.
The .link files contain a [Match] section with (currently) the keys
MACAddress, Driver, Type (see DEVTYPE in udevadm info) and Path (this
matches on the stable device path as exposed as ID_PATH, and not the
unstable DEVPATH). A .link file matches a given device if all of the
specified keys do. Currently the keys are treated as plain strings,
but some limited globbing may later be added to the keys where it
makes sense.
Example:
/etc/net/links/50-wireless.link
[Match]
MACAddress=98:f2:e4:42:c6:92
Path=pci-0000:02:00.0-bcma-0
Type=wlan
[Link]
Description=The wireless link
Changing the default MODE= for the group accessi, but not specifying
a GROUP= does not provide anything.
It disables the default logic that the mode switches to 0660 as soon
as a GROUP= is specifed, which make custom rules uneccesarily complicated.

Devices should show up in systemd regardless whether the user invoked
"udevadm trigger" or not. Before this change some devices might have
suddenly disappeared due issuing that command.
Since the kernel no longer exposes a large number of "dead" loop devices
it is OK to expose them now in systemd, so let's do that. This has the
benefit that mount dependencies on loop devices start to work.
Much like for rfkill devices we should provide some stability regarding
enumeration order, hence include the stable bits of the device path in
the file name we store settings under.
Let's include the stable device path for the rfkill devices in the name
of the file we store the rfkill state in, so that we have some stability
regarding enumeration order.
As many laptops don't save/restore screen brightness across reboots,
let's do this in systemd with a minimal tool, that restores the
brightness as early as possible, and saves it as late as possible. This
will cover consoles and graphical logins, but graphical desktops should
do their own per-user stuff probably.
This only touches firmware brightness controls for now.

Otherwise, when a network device is renamed, systemd-sysctl is run twice
with the same network device name: once for ACTION="add" and once for
ACTION="move".
Partially revert 2b3c81b02f, which
tried to avoid inconsistent rules about when and how to create the
/dev/rtc symlink.
Instead of conditionally or not creating the /dev/rtc link at all,
now always create it with additional and more reliable udev rules.
First try to find the "system rtc" with the hctosys flag, if this
is not found, fall back to create the link for /dev/rtc0.
Our code now never actively searches for the "system rtc" it can
always use /dev/rtc.
The export of the RTCs hctosys flag is uneccesary, the kernel takes care
of the persistemt clock management itself, without any need for:
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
"Chaotic hardware platforms" without native kernel persistent clock
support will find the proper RTC with the logic rtc_open() without
the need for a custom symlink.
