This adds the same root argument to search_and_fopen that
conf_files_list already has. Tools that use those two functions as a
pair can now be easily modified to load configuration files from an
alternate root filesystem tree.
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.

With systemd 211 nspawn attempts to create the home directory for the
given uid. However, if the home directory already exists then it will
fail. Don't error out on -EEXIST.
This broke hashtable lookups for the message cookies on s390x, which is
a 64bit BE machine where accessing 32bit values as 64bit and vice versa
will explode.
Also, while we are at it, be a bit more careful when dealing with the
64bit cookies we expose and the 32bit serial numbers dbus uses in its
payload.
Problem identified by Fridrich Strba.
We still need to make sure that no two MAC addresses are the same, so we use
a logic similar to what is used in udev to generate MAC addresses, and base
it on a hash of the host's machine ID and thecontainer's name.
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.

Similar to the read-only and no-automount flags of Microsoft Basic Data
Partitions, introduce our own flags. We map them to the same flag bits
as Microsoft's, to keep things simple.
"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 system state knows the states starting →
running/degraded/maintenance → stopping, where:
starting = system startup
running = normal operation
degraded = at least one unit is currently in failed state
maintenance = rescue/emergency mode is active or queued
stopping = system shutdown
Some systems turn the backlight all the way off at the lowest levels.
Clamp saved brightness to at least 1 or 5% of max_brightness. This
avoids preserving an unreadably dim screen, which would otherwise force
the user to disable state restoration.
udev_device_get_sysattr_value returns NULL on failure, but doesn't
provide an error code; thus, when printing an error from it, don't print
an unrelated error code from a previous call.
