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.
$ systemctl --user status hoohoo

ConditionPathExists=/tmp/hoo was not met
Full information is exported over D-Bus:
[(condition, trigger, negate, param, state),...]
where state is one of "failed" (<0), "untested" (0), "OK" (>0).
I've decided to use 0 for "untested", because it might be useful to
differentiate different types of failure later on, without breaking
compatibility.
systemctl shows the failing condition, if there was a non-trigger
failing condition, or says "none of the trigger conditions were met",
because there're often many trigger conditions, and they must all
fail for the condition to fail, so printing them all would consume
a lot of space, and bring unnecessary attention to something that is
quite low-level.
Slice/ControlGroup only really makes sense for unit types which actually
have cgroups attached to them, hence move them out of the generic Unit
interface and into the specific unit type interfaces.
These fields will continue to be part of Unit though, simply because
things are a log easier that way. However, regardless how this looks
internally we should keep things clean and independent of the specific
implementation of the inside.
Transient units can be created via the bus API. They are configured via
the method call parameters rather than on-disk files. They are subject
to normal GC. Transient units currently may only be created for
services (however, we will extend this), and currently only ExecStart=
and the cgroup parameters can be configured (also to be extended).
Transient units require a unique name, that previously had no
configuration file on disk.
A tool systemd-run is added that makes use of this functionality to run
arbitrary command lines as transient services:
$ systemd-run /bin/ping www.heise.de
Will cause systemd to create a new transient service and run ping in it.
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=).
This introduces a new static list of known attributes and their special
semantics. This means that cgroup attribute values can now be
automatically translated from user to kernel notation for command line
set settings, too.
This also adds proper support for multi-line attributes.
a) Instead of parsing the bus messages inside of selinux-access.c
simply pass everything pre-parsed in the functions
b) implement the access checking with a macro that resolves to nothing
on non-selinux builds
c) split out the selinux checks into their own sources
selinux-util.[ch]
d) this unifies the job creation code behind the D-Bus calls
Manager.StartUnit() and Unit.Start().
It made no sense, and since we are documenting the bus calls now and
want to include them in our stability promise we really should get it
cleaned up sooner, not later.
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported
in other compilers.
I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as
it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place,
almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to
perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior
alternative exists.
I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad
voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established
editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon.
v2 - preserve externally used headers
all other dependencies are in 3rd person. Change BindTo= accordingly to
BindsTo=.
Of course, the dependency is widely used, hence we parse the old name
too for compatibility.
UnitPath= is also writable via native units and may be used by generators
to clarify from which file a unit is generated. This patch also hooks up
the cryptsetup and fstab generators to set UnitPath= accordingly.
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
RequiresMountsFor= is a shortcut for adding requires and after
dependencies to all mount units neeed for the specified paths.
This solves a couple of issues regarding dep loop cycles for encrypted
swap.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
