By notifying the clients when this property is changed it's possible to
allow "system health monitor" tools to get transitions like
running<->degraded. This is an alternative to send changes on the
SystemState property since the latter is more difficult to derive.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
Sometimes it is necessary to stop a generator from running. Either
because of a bug, or for testing, or some other reason. The only way
to do that would be to rename or chmod the generator binary, which is
inconvenient and does not survive upgrades. Allow masking and
overriding generators similarly to units and other configuration
files.
For the systemd instance, masking would be more common, rather than
overriding generators. For the user instances, it may also be useful
for users to have generators in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to augment or
override system-wide generators.
Directories are searched according to the usual scheme (/usr/lib,
/usr/local/lib, /run, /etc), and files with the same name in higher
priority directories override files with the same name in lower
priority directories. Empty files and links to /dev/null mask a given
name.

Parsing the mount table with libmount races against the mount command,
which will handle the actual mounting before updating utab. This means
the poll event on /proc/self/mountinfo can kick of a reparse in systemd
before the utab information is available.
This change adds in an additional event source using inotify to watch
for changes to utab. It only watches for IN_MOVED_TO events, matching
libmount behavior of always overwriting this file using rename(2).
This does add a second pass through the mount table parsing when utab is
updated.
The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by
long-running services that are included in the initial system startup
transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services
triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject
to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it.
Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target
job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more
finegrained.
We'll stay in "initializing" until basic.target has reached, at which
point we will enter "starting".
This is preparation so that we can change the startip timeout to only
apply to the first phase of startup, not the full procedure.
When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the
failure actions already implemented for services that fail.
This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops
which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This
devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the
easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system
turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while.
When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the
machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't
even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example
because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters.
Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those
easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
DBus methods that retrieve information can be called by anyone.
DBus methods that modify state of units are verified via polkit
action: org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units
DBus methods that modify state of unit files are verified via polkit
action: org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-unit-files
DBus methods that reload the entire daemon state are verified via polkit
action: org.freedesktop.systemd1.reload-daemon
DBus methods that modify job state are callable from the clients
that started the job.
root (ie: CAP_SYS_ADMIN) can continue to perform all calls, property
access etc. There are several DBus methods that can only be
called by root.
Open up the dbus1 policy for the above methods.
(Heavily modified by Lennart, making use of the new
bus_verify_polkit_async() version that doesn't force us to always
pass the original callback around. Also, interactive auhentication must
be opt-in, not unconditional, hence I turned this off.)
Also add a bit of debugging output to help diagnose problems,
add missing units, and simplify cppflags.
Move test-engine to normal tests from manual tests, it should now
work without destroying the system.
As Zbigniew pointed out a new ConditionFirstBoot= appears like the nicer
way to hook in systemd-firstboot.service on first boots (those with /etc
unpopulated), so let's do this, and get rid of the generator again.
A new tool "systemd-firstboot" can be used either interactively on boot,
where it will query basic locale, timezone, hostname, root password
information and set it. Or it can be used non-interactively from the
command line when prepareing disk images for booting. When used
non-inertactively the tool can either copy settings from the host, or
take settings on the command line.
$ systemd-firstboot --root=/path/to/my/new/root --copy-locale --copy-root-password --hostname=waldi
The tool will be automatically invoked (interactively) now on first boot
if /etc is found unpopulated.
This also creates the infrastructure for generators to be notified via
an environment variable whether they are running on the first boot, or
not.
Only accept cpu quota values in percentages, get rid of period
definition.
It's not clear whether the CFS period controllable per-cgroup even has a
future in the kernel, hence let's simplify all this, hardcode the period
to 100ms and only accept percentage based quota values.
Similar to CPUShares= and BlockIOWeight= respectively. However only
assign the specified weight during startup. Each control group
attribute is re-assigned as weight by CPUShares=weight and
BlockIOWeight=weight after startup. If not CPUShares= or
BlockIOWeight= be specified, then the attribute is re-assigned to each
default attribute value. (default cpu.shares=1024, blkio.weight=1000)
If only CPUShares=weight or BlockIOWeight=weight be specified, then
that implies StartupCPUShares=weight and StartupBlockIOWeight=weight.
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
This is primarily useful for services that need to track clients which
reference certain objects they maintain, or which explicitly want to
subscribe to certain events. Something like this is done in a large
number of services, and not trivial to do. Hence, let's unify this at
one place.
This also ports over PID 1 to use this to ensure that subscriptions to
job and manager events are correctly tracked. As a side-effect this
makes sure we properly serialize and restore the track list across
daemon reexec/reload, which didn't work correctly before.
This also simplifies how we distribute messages to broadcast to the
direct busses: we only track subscriptions for the API bus and
implicitly assume that all direct busses are subscribed. This should be
a pretty OK simplification since clients connected via direct bus
connections are shortlived anyway.
In some cases it is interesting to map a PID to two units at the same
time. For example, when a user logs in via a getty, which is reexeced to
/sbin/login that binary will be explicitly referenced as main pid of the
getty service, as well as implicitly referenced as part of the session
scope.
When set to auto, status will shown when the first ephemeral message
is shown (a job has been running for five seconds). Then until the
boot or shutdown ends, status messages will be shown.
No indication about the switch is done: I think it should be clear
for the user that first the cylon eye and the ephemeral messages appear,
and afterwards messages are displayed.
The initial arming of the event source was still wrong, but now should
really be fixed.
This way, we can avoid executing two /bin/swapon jobs to be dispatched
for the same swap device if it is configured for two different paths.
Previously we were just tracking the device nodes of active swap
devices, which would not allow us to recognize the identity of two swap
devices before they are active.

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.
Previously to automatically create dependencies between mount units we
matched every mount unit agains all others resulting in O(n^2)
complexity. On setups with large amounts of mount units this might make
things slow.
This change replaces the matching code to use a hashtable that is keyed
by a path prefix, and points to a set of units that require that path to
be around. When a new mount unit is installed it is hence sufficient to
simply look up this set of units via its own file system paths to know
which units to order after itself.
This patch also changes all unit types to only create automatic mount
dependencies via the RequiresMountsFor= logic, and this is exposed to
the outside to make things more transparent.
With this change we still have some O(n) complexities in place when
handling mounts, but that's currently unavoidable due to kernel APIs,
and still substantially better than O(n^2) as before.

Stop importing non-sensical kernel-exported variables. All
parameters in the kernel command line are exported to the
initial environment of PID1, but suppressed if they are
recognized by kernel built-in code. The EFI booted kernel
will add further kernel-internal things which do not belong
into userspace.
The passed original environ data of the process is not touched
and preserved across re-execution, to allow external reading of
/proc/self/environ for process properties like container*=.
Make Type=idle communication bidirectional: when bootup is finished,
the manager, as before, signals idling Type=idle jobs to continue.
However, if the boot takes too long, idling jobs signal the manager
that they have had enough, wait a tiny bit more, and continue, taking
ownership of the console. The manager, when signalled that Type=idle
jobs are done, makes a note and will not write to the console anymore.
This is a cosmetic issue, but quite noticable, so let's just fix it.
Based on Harald Hoyer's patch.

Since we'll unload all units/job during a reload, and then readd them it
is really useful for clients to be aware of this phase hence sent a
signal out before and after. This signal is called "Reloading" (despite
the fact that it is also sent out during reexecution, which we consider
a special case in this context) and has one boolean parameter which is
true for the signal sent before the reload, and false for the signal
after the reload. The UnitRemoved/JobRremoved and UnitNew/JobNew due to
the reloading are guranteed to be between the pair of Reloading
messages.
Since we should allow registering/unregistering transient units with the
same name in a tight-loop, we need to make the GC more aggressive, so
that dead units are cleaned up immediately instead of later.
hence, execute the GC sweep on every event loop iteration and clean up
units. This of course, means we need to be careful with adding units to
the GC queue, which we already are since we execute check_gc() of each
unit type already when adding something to the queue.
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 complements existing functionality of setting variables
through 'systemctl set-environment', the kernel command line,
and through normal environment variables for systemd in session
mode.
- This changes all logind cgroup objects to use slice objects rather
than fixed croup locations.
- logind can now collect minimal information about running
VMs/containers. As fixed cgroup locations can no longer be used we
need an entity that keeps track of machine cgroups in whatever slice
they might be located. Since logind already keeps track of users,
sessions and seats this is a trivial addition.
- nspawn will now register with logind and pass various bits of metadata
along. A new option "--slice=" has been added to place the container
in a specific slice.
- loginctl gained commands to list, introspect and terminate machines.
- user.slice and machine.slice will now be pulled in by logind.service,
since only logind.service requires this slice.
This will add another color to the legend called "Loading unit files"
Like the generators it will mark a part of the systemd bar indicating
the time spent while loading unit files.
