This introduces a new key MACAddressPolicy.
The possible policies are 'persistent' and 'random'.
'persistent' will do nothing if the current address is the hardware address,
but if the hardware does not have an address (or another address is set for
whatever reason), we will generate an address which will be random, but
persistent between boots (based on machineid and persistent netif name).
'random' will do nothing if the kernel already set a random address, otherwise
it will generate a random one and use that instead.
This patch sets MACAddressPolicy=persistent in the default .link file.
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 is intentionally as similar to sd-bus as possible. While it
would be simple to export it, the intentions is to keep this
internal (at least for the forseeable future).
Currently only synchronous communication is implemented
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

Always add the default AM_CFLAGS first.
If variables are used in conditionals, the default assignment
of AM variables is disabled, even when the conditional is not
in use; foo_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) is needed, even when it looks
like a no-op.
fsck-root is redundant in case an initrd is used, or in case the rootfs
is never remounted 'rw', so the new default is the correct behavior for
most users. For the rest, they should enable it in fstab.
The thing is a daemon, hence needs a "d" prefix. Also, we tend to not
abbreviate names of background components unnecessarily, since they are
not primary commands people type. Then, the fact that this thing does
socket actviation is mostly in implementationd detail for the proxy.
Also, do some minor indenting clean-ups and other code updates.
Among other things this also adds a few things necessary for the change:
- Considerably more powerful error returning APIs in libsystemd-bus
- Adapter for connecting an sd_bus to an sd_event
- As I reworked the PolicyKit logic to the new library I also made it
asynchronous, so that PolicyKit requests of one user cannot block out
another user anymore.
- We always use the macro names for common bus error. That way it is
harder to mistype them since the compiler will notice
rename old versions to ascii_*
Do not take into account zerowidth characters, but do consider double-wide characters.

So far we tried to use epoll directly wherever we needed an event loop.
However, that has various shortcomings, such as the inability to handle
larger amounts of timers (since each timerfd costs one fd, which is a
very limited resource, usually bounded to 1024), and inability to do
priorisation between multiple queued events.
Let's add a minimal event loop API around epoll that is suitable for
implementation of our own daemons and maybe one day can become public
API for those who desire it.
This loop is part of libsystemd-bus, but may be used independently of
it.
Since on most systems with xattr systemd will compile with Smack
support enabled, we still attempt to mount various fs's with
Smack-only options.
Before mounting any of these Smack-related filesystems with
Smack specific mount options, check if Smack is functionally
active on the running kernel.
If Smack is really enabled in the kernel, all these Smack mounts
are now *fatal*, as they should be.
We no longer mount smackfs if systemd was compiled without
Smack support. This makes it easier to make smackfs mount
failures a critical error when Smack is enabled.
We no longer mount these filesystems with their Smack specific
options inside containers. There these filesystems will be
mounted with there non-mount smack options for now.
This adds a lightweight scheme how to define interfaces in static fixed
arrays which then can be easily registered on a bus connection. This
makes it much easier to write bus services.
This automatically handles implementation of the Properties,
ObjectManager, and Introspection bus interfaces.
