2013-09-17logind: make Session.Activate() lazyDavid Herrmann
Currently, Activate() calls chvt(), which does an ioctl(VT_ACTIVATE) and immediately calls seat_set_active(). However, VTs are allowed to prevent being deactivated. Therefore, logind cannot be sure the VT_ACTIVATE call was actually successful. Furthermore, compositors often need to clean up their devices before they acknowledge the VT switch. The immediate call to seat_set_active() may modify underlying ACLs, though. Thus, some compositors may fail cleaning up their stuff. Moreover, the compositor being switched to (if listening to logind instead of VTs) will not be able to activate its devices if the old VT still has them active. We could simply add an VT_WAITACTIVE call, which blocks until the given VT is active. However, this can block forever if the compositor hangs. So to fix this, we make Activate() lazy. That is, it only schedules a session-switch but does not wait for it to complete. The caller can no longer rely on it being immediate. Instead, a caller is required to wait for the PropertiesChanged signal and read the "Active" field. We could make Activate() wait asynchronously for the session-switch to complete and then send the return-message afterwards. However, this would add a lot of state-tracking with no real gain: 1) Sessions normally don't care whether Activate() was actually successful as they currently _must_ wait for the VT activation to do anything for real. 2) Error messages for failed session switches can be printed by logind instead of the session issuing Activate(). 3) Sessions that require synchronous Activate() calls can simply issue the call and then wait for "Active" properties to change. This also allows them to implement their own timeout. This change prepares for multi-session on seats without VTs. Forced VT switches are always bad as compositors cannot perform any cleanup. This isn't strictly required, but may lead to loss of information and ambiguous error messages. So for multi-session on seats without VTs, we must wait for the current session to clean-up before finalizing the session-switch. This requires Activate() to be lazy as we cannot block here. Note that we can always implement a timeout which allows us to guarantee the session switch to happen. Nevertheless, this calls for a lazy Activate().
2013-09-17logind: add session controllersDavid Herrmann
A session usually has only a single compositor or other application that controls graphics and input devices on it. To avoid multiple applications from hijacking each other's devices or even using the devices in parallel, we add session controllers. A session controller is an application that manages a session. Specific API calls may be limited to controllers to avoid others from getting unprivileged access to restricted resources. A session becomes a controller by calling the RequestControl() dbus API call. It can drop it via ReleaseControl(). logind tracks bus-names to release the controller once an application closes the bus. We use the new bus-name tracking to do that. Note that during ReleaseControl() we need to check whether some other session also tracks the name before we remove it from the bus-name tracking list. Currently, we only allow one controller at a time. However, the public API does not enforce this restriction. So if it makes sense, we can allow multiple controllers in parallel later. Or we can add a "scope" parameter, which allows a different controller for graphics-devices, sound-devices and whatever you want. Note that currently you get -EBUSY if there is already a controller. You can force the RequestControl() call (root-only) to drop the current controller and recover the session during an emergency. To recover a seat, this is not needed, though. You can simply create a new session or force-activate it. To become a session controller, a dbus caller must either be root or the same user as the user of the session. This allows us to run a session compositor as user and we no longer need any CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
2013-09-17logind: add infrastructure to watch busnamesDavid Herrmann
If we want to track bus-names to allow exclusive resource-access, we need a way to get notified when a bus-name is gone. We make logind watch for NameOwnerChanged dbus events and check whether the name is currently watched. If it is, we remove it from the watch-list (notification for other objects can be added in follow-up patches).
2013-09-17logind: listen actively for session devicesDavid Herrmann
Session compositors need access to fbdev, DRM and evdev devices if they control a session. To make logind pass them to sessions, we need to listen for them actively. However, we avoid creating new seats for non master-of-seat devices. Only once a seat is created, we start remembering all other session devices. If the last master-device is removed (even if there are other non-master devices still available), we destroy the seat. This is the current behavior, but we need to explicitly implement it now as there may be non-master devices in the seat->devices list. Unlike master devices, we don't care whether our list of non-master devices is complete. We don't export this list but use it only as cache if sessions request these devices. Hence, if a session requests a device that is not in the list, we will simply look it up. However, once a session requested a device, we must be notified of "remove" udev events. So we must link the devices somehow into the device-list. Regarding the implementation, we now sort the device list by the "master" flag. This guarantees that master devices are at the front and non-master devices at the tail of the list. Thus, we can easily test whether a seat has a master device attached.

2013-09-16build: check for build/link flags harderDavid Herrmann
Use AC_LINK_IFELSE instead of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE to test for flags that might succeed during compilation but not during linking. An example is gcc compiled with libssp support but gnu-ld without it. In this case -fstack-protector works fine during compilation but fails during linking as several internal helpers are missing.

2013-09-16transaction.c: do not point users to logs when unit not foundZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The logs are unlikely to contain any useful information in this case. Also, change "walked on cycle path" to "found dependency on", which is less technical and indicates the direction. With the old message, I was never sure if prior units depended on later ones, or vice versa. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=996133 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997082

Travis tests are failing, probably because /proc/meminfo is not available in the test environment. The same might be true in some virtualized systems, so just treat missing /proc/meminfo as a sign that hibernation is not possible.

2013-09-16swap: create .wants symlink to 'auto' swap devicesTom Gundersen
As we load unit files lazily, we need to make sure something pulls in swap units that should be started automatically, otherwise the default dependencies will never be applied. This partially reinstates code removed in commit 64347fc2b983f33e7efb0fd2bb44e133fb9f30f4. Also don't order swap devices after swap.target when they are 'nofail'.

2013-09-13Advertise hibernation only if there's enough free swapZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Condition that is checked is taken from upower: active(anon) < free swap * 0.98 This is really stupid, because the kernel knows the situation better, e.g. there could be two swap files, and then hibernation would be impossible despite passing this check, or the kernel could start supporting compressed swap and/or compressed hibernation images, and then this this check would be too stringent. Nevertheless, until we have something better, this should at least return a true negative if there's no swap. Logging of capabilities in the journal is changed to not strip leading zeros. I consider this more readable anyway. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/tree/src/up-daemon.c#n613 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007059
