The information about the unit for which files are being parsed
is passed all the way down. This way messages land in the journal
with proper UNIT=... or USER_UNIT=... attribution.
'systemctl status' and 'journalctl -u' not displaying those messages
has been a source of confusion for users, since the journal entry for
a misspelt setting was often logged quite a bit earlier than the
failure to start a unit.

When switching root, i.e. LANG can be set to the locale of the initramfs
or "C", if it was unset. When systemd deserializes LANG in the real root
this would overwrite the setting previously gathered by locale_set().
To reproduce, boot with an initramfs without locale.conf or change
/etc/locale.conf to a different language than the initramfs and check a
daemon started by systemd:
$ tr "$\000" '\n' </proc/$(pidof sshd)/environ | grep LANG
LANG=C
To prevent that, serialization of environment variables is skipped, when
serializing for switching root.

Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.
A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:
$ size build/.libs/systemd
text data bss dec hex filename
before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd
… actually less than 1‰.
A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
Instead of outputting "5h 55s 50ms 3us" we'll now output "5h
55.050003s". Also, while outputting the accuracy is configurable.
Basically we now try use "dot notation" for all time values > 1min. For
>= 1s we use 's' as unit, otherwise for >= 1ms we use 'ms' as unit, and
finally 'us'.
This should give reasonably values in most cases.
Internally we store all time values in usec_t, however parse_usec()
actually was used mostly to parse values in seconds (unless explicit
units were specified to define a different unit). Hence, be clear about
this and name the function about what we pass into it, not what we get
out of it.
Back from old times when we developed systemd on non-systemd hosts we
still mounted the missing directories such as the cgroup stuff even when
running with a PID != 1. There's no point for that anymore, so let's
just do that if we are actually PID 1, and never otherwise.

In order to maintain compatibility with older initrds which do not have
AllowIsolate=yes set for their target units, fallback to JOB_REPLACE if
JOB_ISOLATE doesn't work, but complain about it.
SMACK is the Simple Mandatory Access Control Kernel, a minimal
approach to Access Control implemented as a kernel LSM.
The kernel exposes the smackfs filesystem API through which access
rules can be loaded. At boot time, we want to load the access rules
as early as possible to ensure all early boot steps are checked by Smack.
This patch mounts smackfs at the new location at /sys/fs/smackfs for
kernels 3.8 and above. The /smack mountpoint is not supported.
After mounting smackfs, rules are loaded from the usual location.
For more information about Smack see:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Smack.txt
This allows switch-root to work correctly if a unit is active both before and
after the switch-root, but its dependencies change. Before the patch, any
dependencies added to active units by switch-root will not be pulled, in
particular filesystems configured in /etc/fstab would not be activated if
local-fs.target was active in the initrd.
It is not clear to me if there is a bug in the REPLACE handling, or if it is
working as expected and that we really want to use ISOLATE instead as this patch
does.
Turns out cpuset needs explicit initialization before we could make use
of it. Thus mounting cpuset with cpu/cpuacct would make it impossible to
just create a group in "cpu" and start it.
Note: I did s/MANAGER/SYSTEMD/ everywhere, even though it makes the
patch quite verbose. Nevertheless, keeping MANAGER prefix in some
places, and SYSTEMD prefix in others would just lead to confusion down
the road. Better to rip off the band-aid now.
When the new PID is invoked the journal socket from the initrd might
still be around. Due to the default log target being journal we'd log to
that initially when the new main systemd initializes even if the kernel
command line included a directive to redirect systemd's logging
elsewhere.
With this fix we initially always log to kmsg now, if we are PID1, and
only after parsing the kernel cmdline try to open the journal if that's
desired.
(The effective benefit of this is that SELinux performance data is now
logged again to kmsg like it used to be.)
Properly tell the kernel at bootup, and any later time zone changes,
the actual system time zone.
Things like the kernel's FAT filesystem driver needs the actual time
zone to calculate the proper local time to use for the on-disk time
stamps.

For setups with many listening sockets the default kernel resource limit
of 1024 fds is not enough. Bump this up to 64K to avoid any limitations
in this regard. We are careful to pass on the kernel default to daemons
however, since normally resource limits are a good to enforce,
especially since select() can't handle fds > 1023.
After talking to the cgroup kernel folks at LPC we came to the
conclusion that it is probably a good idea to mount all CPU related
resp. all network related cgroup controllers together, both because they
are good defaults for admins and because this might prepare
for eventual kernel cleanups where the ability to mount them separately
is removed.
Adds messages for formally silent errors: new "Failed on cmdline argument %s: %s".
Removes some specific error messages for -ENOMEM in mount-setup.c. A few specific
ones have been left in other binaries.
systemd --version mirrors systemctl --version:
$ ./systemd --version
systemd 186
other
+PAM +LIBWRAP +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +SYSVINIT -LIBCRYPTSETUP
This information can be retrieved by other means (systemctl, etc.),
but it's easier for a newbie if 'systemd --version' says something
useful. And 'systemd --help' is already there, so let's complement
that with '--version'.
