Session objects will now get the .session suffix, user objects the .user
suffix, nspawn containers the .nspawn suffix.
This also changes the user cgroups to be named after the numeric UID
rather than the username, since this allows us the parse these paths
standalone without requiring access to the cgroup file system.
This also changes the mapping of instanced units to cgroups. Instead of
mapping foo@bar.service to the cgroup path /user/foo@.service/bar we
will now map it to /user/foo@.service/foo@bar.service, in order to
ensure that all our objects are properly suffixed in the tree.
Containers will now carry a label (normally derived from the root
directory name, but configurable by the user), and the container's root
cgroup is /machine/<label>. This label is called "machine name", and can
cover both containers and VMs (as soon as libvirt also makes use of
/machine/).
libsystemd-login can be used to query the machine name from a process.
This patch also includes numerous clean-ups for the cgroup code.
This allows clients to put inotify watches on these trees to watch for
state changes, without having to wait until these dirs are created.
This introduces the new top-level /machine cgroup dir as canonical
location where OS containers and VMs shall be located (as discussed with
the libvirt folks).
There were old session state files accumulating in /run/systemd/session.
They confused e.g. "reboot", which thought there were still users logged
in. The files got created like this:
session_stop(Session *s) ->
...
unlink(s->state_file);
...
seat_set_active(s->seat, NULL) ->
session_save(...); /* re-creates the state file we just
unlinked */
Fix it simply by clearing the s->started flag earlier to prevent
any further writes of the state file (session_save() checks the flag).
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.
The MESSAGE_ID=... stanza will appear in countless number of places.
It is just too long to write it out in full each time.
Incidentally, this also fixes a typo of MESSSAGE is three places.
Before, after the timeout, a session would be timestamped as idle
since 'last activity' + 'idle timeout'. Now, it is timestamped as idle
since 'last activity'.
Before, after all sessions were idle, the seat would be marked with as
idle with the timestamp of the oldest idle session. Now it is
marked with the timestamp of the youngest idle session.
Both changes seem to me to be closer to natural understanding of
idleness: the time since last activity counts.
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
Since + has higher precedence than ?:, and u+b is unlikely to be exactly zero,
the timestamp would usually be set to IDLE_THRESHOLD_USEC. Fix it by
returning either 'last activity', or 'last activity+IDLE_THRESHOLD_USEC'.
online = logged in
active = logged in and session is in the fg
closing = nominally logged out but some left-over processes still around

This takes handling of chassis power and sleep keys as well as the lid
switch over from acpid.
This logic is enabled by default for power and sleep keys, but not for
the lid switch.
If a graphical session is in the foreground no action is taken under the
assumption that the graphical session does this.
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.
This introduces the new PAM environment variable XDG_SESSION_CLASS. If
not set, defaults to "user".
This is useful for apps that want to distuingish real user logins from
"fake" ones which just exist to show a gdm login screen or a lock
screen.
