I'm assuming that it's fine if a _const_ or _pure_ function
calls assert. It is assumed that the assert won't trigger,
and even if it does, it can only trigger on the first call
with a given set of parameters, and we don't care if the
compiler moves the order of calls.
clang emits warnings about unused attribute _saved_errno_, which drown
out other—potentially useful—warnings. gcc documentation is not exactly
verbose about the effects of __attribute__((unused)) on variables, but
let's assume that it works if the unit test passes.
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.
As discussed with Dan Berrange it's a good idea to suffix all objects in
the cgroup tree with ".something", so that when the system is
partitioned using a resource management tool we can drop objects of
different types into the same partition directory without generate
namespace conflicts.
We'l add this to the Pax Control Group document as soon as write access
to the fdo wiki is restored.
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.
In some cases the main/control PID of a service can be outside of the
services cgroups (for example, if logind readjusts the processes'
cgroup). In order to clarify this for the user show the main/control PID
in the cgroup tree nonetheless, but mark them specially.
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.
