core: use the unified hierarchy for the systemd cgroup controller hierarchy
Currently, systemd uses either the legacy hierarchies or the unified hierarchy. When the legacy hierarchies are used, systemd uses a named legacy hierarchy mounted on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd without any kernel controllers for process management. Due to the shortcomings in the legacy hierarchy, this involves a lot of workarounds and complexities. Because the unified hierarchy can be mounted and used in parallel to legacy hierarchies, there's no reason for systemd to use a legacy hierarchy for management even if the kernel resource controllers need to be mounted on legacy hierarchies. It can simply mount the unified hierarchy under /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd and use it without affecting other legacy hierarchies. This disables a significant amount of fragile workaround logics and would allow using features which depend on the unified hierarchy membership such bpf cgroup v2 membership test. In time, this would also allow deleting the said complexities. This patch updates systemd so that it prefers the unified hierarchy for the systemd cgroup controller hierarchy when legacy hierarchies are used for kernel resource controllers. * cg_unified(@controller) is introduced which tests whether the specific controller in on unified hierarchy and used to choose the unified hierarchy code path for process and service management when available. Kernel controller specific operations remain gated by cg_all_unified(). * "systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller" kernel argument can be used to force the use of legacy hierarchy for systemd cgroup controller. * nspawn: By default nspawn uses the same hierarchies as the host. If UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY is set to 1, unified hierarchy is used for all. If 0, legacy for all. * nspawn: arg_unified_cgroup_hierarchy is made an enum and now encodes one of three options - legacy, only systemd controller on unified, and unified. The value is passed into mount setup functions and controls cgroup configuration. * nspawn: Interpretation of SYSTEMD_CGROUP_CONTROLLER to the actual mount option is moved to mount_legacy_cgroup_hierarchy() so that it can take an appropriate action depending on the configuration of the host. v2: - CGroupUnified enum replaces open coded integer values to indicate the cgroup operation mode. - Various style updates. v3: Fixed a bug in detect_unified_cgroup_hierarchy() introduced during v2. v4: Restored legacy container on unified host support and fixed another bug in detect_unified_cgroup_hierarchy().
