This changes the semantics a bit: before, SYSTEMD_COLORS= would be treated as
"yes", same as SYSTEMD_COLORS=xxx and SYSTEMD_COLORS=1, and only
SYSTEMD_COLORS=0 would be treated as "no". Now, only valid booleans are treated
as "yes". This actually matches how $SYSTEMD_COLORS was announced in NEWS.
When started by the kernel, we are connected to the console, and we'll set TERM
properly to some value in fixup_environment(). We'll then enable or disable
colors based on the value of $SYSTEMD_COLORS and $TERM.
When reexecuting, TERM should be already set, so we can use this value.
Effectively, behaviour is the same as before affd7ed1a was reverted, but instead
of reopening the console before configuring color output, we just ignore what
stdout is connected to and decide based on the variables only.
A masked unit is listed in Also=:
$ systemctl cat test1 test2
→# /etc/systemd/system/test1.service
[Unit]
Description=test service 1
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Also=test2.service
Alias=alias1.service
→# /dev/null
$ systemctl --root=/ enable test1
(before)
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/alias1.service → /etc/systemd/system/test1.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/test1.service → /etc/systemd/system/test1.service.
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.

This was causing preset-all --global to create symlinks:

It is better to create units in a state that completely matches the presets, i.e.
preset-all should do nothing when invoked immediately after installation.
I'm sure it was confusing to users too, suggesting that system and user units
may somehow alias each other.
Enable reboot.target and disable exit.target: the first is used on normal
machines, the second only in containers, and the more general one
should be enabled by default.
Also fix the Makefile to match what preset-all does.
With this and the previous commits, doing "make instal DESTDIR=…" followed
by "systemctl preset-all --root=…" doesn't result in any changes.
The preset for systemd-networkd-wait-online.service should match
whatever we do for systemd-networkd.service. s-n-wait-online.service
is only pulled in when some other unit pulls in network-online.target,
otherwise it's not used. But if something pulls in network-online.target,
they should expect s-n-wait-online.service to be active iff
systemd-networkd.service is active.
OTOH, the journal-remote and journal-upload services should be disabled
by default, since they don't do anything without additional configuration.
Running preset-all on a system installed from rpms or even created
using make install would remove and recreate a lot of symlinks, changing
relative to absolute symlinks. In general relative symlinks are nicer,
so there is no reason to change them, and those spurious changes were
obscuring more interesting stuff.

The man pages didn't ever mention that symlinks to units can be created, and what
exactly this means. Fix that omission, and disallow presets on alias names.
Before, when interating over unit files during preset-all, behaviour was the
following:
- if we hit the real unit name first, presets were queried for that name, and
that unit was enabled or disabled accordingly,
- if we hit an alias first (one of the symlinks chaining to the real unit), we
checked the presets using the symlink name, and then proceeded to enable or
disable the real unit.
E.g. for systemd-networkd.service we have the alias dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service
(/usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service), but the preset
is only for the systemd-networkd.service name. The service would be enabled or
disabled pseudorandomly depending on the order of iteration.
For "preset", behaviour was analogous: preset on the alias name disabled the
service (following the default disable policy), preset on the "real" name
applied the presets.
With the patch, for "preset" and "preset-all" we silently skip symlinks. This
gives mostly the right behaviour, with the limitation that presets on aliases
are ignored. I think that presets on aliases are not that common (at least my
preset files on Fedora don't exhibit any such usage), and should not be
necessary, since whoever installs the preset can just refer to the real unit
file. It would be possible to overcome this limitation by gathering a list of
names of a unit first, and then checking whether *any* of the names matches the
presets list. That would require a significant redesign of the code, and be
a lot slower (since we would have to fully read all unit directories to preset
one unit) to so I'm not doing that for now.
With this patch, two properties are satisfied:
- preset-all and preset are idempotent, and the second and subsequent invocations
do not produce any changes,
- preset-all and preset for a specific name produce the same state for that unit.
Fixes#3616.
The parsing functions for [User]TasksMax were inconsistent. Empty string and
"infinity" were interpreted as no limit for TasksMax but not accepted for
UserTasksMax. Update them so that they're consistent with other knobs.
* Empty string indicates the default value.
* "infinity" indicates no limit.
While at it, replace opencoded (uint64_t) -1 with CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX in TasksMax
handling.
v2: Update empty string to indicate the default value as suggested by Zbigniew
Jędrzejewski-Szmek.
v3: Fixed empty UserTasksMax handling.
The Logitech MX Master has a horizontal scroll wheel with a different click
angle than the vertical one. Add a new property for this case, we can't add
values to the normal one without risking upsetting existing parsers.
Fixes#3947
Rework 17eb9a9ddb a bit.
Let's make sure we don't clobber the input parameter args[1], following our
coding style to not clobber parameters unless explicitly indicated. (in
particular, as we don't want to have our changes appear in the command line
shown in "ps"...)
No functional change.
Inspired from the new logic in nss-systemd let's make sure we don't end up
deadlocking in nss-mymachines either in case dbus-daemon tries to a look up a
name and we want to connect to the bus.
This case is much simpler though, as there's no point in resolving virtual
machine UIDs by dbus-daemon as those should never be able to connect to the
host's busses.
dbus-daemon does NSS name look-ups in order to enforce its bus policy. This
might dead-lock if an NSS module use wants to use D-Bus for the look-up itself,
like our nss-systemd does. Let's work around this by bypassing bus
communication in the NSS module if we run inside of dbus-daemon. To make this
work we keep a bit of extra state in /run/systemd/dynamic-uid/ so that we don't
have to consult the bus, but can still resolve the names.
Note that the normal codepath continues to be via the bus, so that resolving
works from all mount namespaces and is subject to authentication, as before.
This is a bit dirty, but not too dirty, as dbus daemon is kinda special anyway
for PID 1.
This adds the boolean RemoveIPC= setting to service, socket, mount and swap
units (i.e. all unit types that may invoke processes). if turned on, and the
unit's user/group is not root, all IPC objects of the user/group are removed
when the service is shut down. The life-cycle of the IPC objects is hence bound
to the unit life-cycle.
This is particularly relevant for units with dynamic users, as it is essential
that no objects owned by the dynamic users survive the service exiting. In
fact, this patch adds code to imply RemoveIPC= if DynamicUser= is set.
In order to communicate the UID/GID of an executed process back to PID 1 this
adds a new "user lookup" socket pair, that is inherited into the forked
processes, and closed before the exec(). This is needed since we cannot do NSS
from PID 1 due to deadlock risks, However need to know the used UID/GID in
order to clean up IPC owned by it if the unit shuts down.
This makes it easier to discern the relevant and obsolete parts of the vtables,
and in particular helps when comparing introspection data with the actual
vtable definitions.
This adds "systemd-mount" which is for transient mount and automount units what
"systemd-run" is for transient service, scope and timer units.
The tool allows establishing mounts and automounts during runtime. It is very
similar to the usual /bin/mount commands, but can pull in additional
dependenices on access (for example, it pulls in fsck automatically), an take
benefit of the automount logic.
This tool is particularly useful for mount removable file systems (such as USB
sticks), as the automount logic (together with automatic unmount-on-idle), as
well as automatic fsck on first access ensure that the removable file system
has a high chance to remain in a fully clean state even when it is unplugged
abruptly, and returns to a clean state on the next re-plug.
This is a follow-up for #2471, as it adds a simple client-side for the
transient automount logic added in that PR.
In later work it might make sense to invoke this tool automatically from udev
rules in order to implement a simpler and safer version of removable media
management á la udisks.
