This makes sure that
systemctl status /home
is implicitly translated to:
systemctl status /home.mount
Similar, /dev/foobar becomes dev-foobar.device.
Also, all characters that cannot be part of a unit name are implicitly
escaped.
since the binaries share much of the same code and we better load only
one binary instead of two from disk at early boot let's merge the three
readahead binaries into one. This also allows us to drop a lot of
duplicated code.
This adds minimal hardware watchdog support to PID 1. The idea is that
PID 1 supervises and watchdogs system services, while the hardware
watchdog is used to supervise PID 1.
This adds two hardware watchdog configuration options, for the runtime
watchdog and for a shutdown watchdog. The former is active during normal
operation, the latter only at reboots to ensure that if a clean reboot
times out we reboot nonetheless.
If the runtime watchdog is enabled PID 1 will automatically wake up at
half the configured interval and write to the watchdog daemon.
By default we enable the shutdown watchdog, but leave the runtime
watchdog disabled in order not to break independent hardware watchdog
daemons people might be using.
This is only the most basic hookup. If necessary we can later on hook
up the watchdog ping more closely with services deemed crucial.
This logic can be turned off by defining SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION
before including sd-journal.h.
This also saves/restores errno in all logging functions, in order to be
useful as logging calls without side-effects.
This also adds a couple of __unlikely__ around the early checks in the
logging calls, in order to minimize the runtime impact.
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for
journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat.
All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the
exception of the three primary user interface binaries:
systemctl
loginctl
journalctl
For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks:
systemd-systemctl → systemctl
systemd-loginctl → loginctl
systemd-journalctl → journalctl
We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid
unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify
stay the way they are.
In preparation for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655380 we
decided it's better to include the multi-seat X wrapper in systemd,
rather than gdm. (Side effect: this makes this accessible for other
DMs)
This is a stop-gap for now, until X gins proper multi-seat graphics
support at which point this code will go away without replacement.
This new installer will replace the current code of "systemctl enable"
but also be available via D-Bus. It adds a couple of new features:
- Mask/Unmask calls
- Reenable call
- Preset call
- Support for enabling units temporarily (i.e. in /run/systemd instead
of /etc/systemd)
- Enumeration of installed units
- Support for out-of-search-path units
systemctl and D-Bus are not hooked up with this yet
This adds support for executing systemctl operations remotely or as
privileged user while still running systemctl itself unprivileged and
locally.
This currently requires a D-Bus patch to work properly.

This is supposed to play the same roles /var/lib/dbus/machine-id,
however fixes a couple of problems:
- It is available during early boot since it is stored in /etc
- Removes the ID from the D-Bus context and moves it into a system
context, thus hopefully lowering hesitation by people to use it.
- It is generated at installation time. If the file is empty at boot
time it will be mounted over with a randomly generated ID, which is
not saved to disk. This is useful to support state-less machines with
no transient or writable /etc configuration.
