2013-07-16journalctl: augment short mode with a cursor at the endZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Two options are added: --show-cursor to print the cursor at the end, and --after-cursor to resume logs on the next line after the previous one.

2013-07-16journal: return -ECHILD after a forkZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
A few asserts are replaced with 'return -EINVAL'. I think that assert should not be used to check argument in public functions. Fields in struct sd_journal are rearranged to make it less swiss-cheesy.
2013-07-16journalctl: Add support for showing messages from a previous bootJan Janssen
Hi, I redid the boot ID look up to use enumerate_unique. This is quite fast if the cache is warm but painfully slow if it isn't. It has a slight chance of returning the wrong order if realtime clock jumps around. This one has to do n searches for every boot ID there is plus a sort, so it depends heavily on cache hotness. This is in contrast to the other way of look-up through filtering by a MESSAGE_ID, which only needs about 1 seek + whatever amount of relative IDs you want to walk. I also have a linked-list + (in-place) mergesort version of this patch, which has pretty much the same runtime. But since this one is using libc sorting and armortized allocation, I prefer this one. To summarize: The MESSAGE_ID way is a *lot* faster but can be incomplete due to rotation, while the enumerate+sort will find every boot ID out there but will be painfully slow for large journals and cold caches. You choose :P Jan

2013-07-08static-nodes: move creation of static nodes from udevd to tmpfilesTom Gundersen
As of kmod v14, it is possible to export the static node information from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.devname in tmpfiles.d(5) format. Use this functionality to let systemd-tmpfilesd create the static device nodes at boot, and drop the functionality from systemd-udevd. As an effect of this we can move from systemd-udevd to systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev: * the conditional CAP_MKNOD (replaced by checking if /sys is mounted rw) * ordering before local-fs-pre.target (see 89d09e1b5c65a2d97840f682e0932c8bb499f166)

2013-07-02logind: port over to use scopes+slices for all cgroup stuffLennart Poettering
In order to prepare things for the single-writer cgroup scheme, let's make logind use systemd's own primitives for cgroup management. Every login user now gets his own private slice unit, in which his sessions live in a scope unit each. Also, add user@$UID.service to the same slice, and implicitly start it on first login.
2013-07-01core: parse Slice= from the unit type specific unit file sectionLennart Poettering
Since not all unit types know Slice= it belongs in the unit type specific unit file section.
2013-07-01core: add new "scope" unit type for making a unit of pre-existing processesLennart Poettering
"Scope" units are very much like service units, however with the difference that they are created from pre-existing processes, rather than processes that systemd itself forks off. This means they are generated programmatically via the bus API as transient units rather than from static configuration read from disk. Also, they do not provide execution-time parameters, as at the time systemd adds the processes to the scope unit they already exist and the parameters cannot be applied anymore. The primary benefit of this new unit type is to create arbitrary cgroups for worker-processes forked off an existing service. This commit also adds a a new mode to "systemd-run" to run the specified processes in a scope rather then a transient service.
2013-06-28main: fix loading of default targetLennart Poettering
2013-06-28core: add transient unitsLennart Poettering
Transient units can be created via the bus API. They are configured via the method call parameters rather than on-disk files. They are subject to normal GC. Transient units currently may only be created for services (however, we will extend this), and currently only ExecStart= and the cgroup parameters can be configured (also to be extended). Transient units require a unique name, that previously had no configuration file on disk. A tool systemd-run is added that makes use of this functionality to run arbitrary command lines as transient services: $ systemd-run /bin/ping www.heise.de Will cause systemd to create a new transient service and run ping in it.

2013-06-27dbus: make more cgroup attributes runtime settableLennart Poettering
2013-06-27dbus: add infrastructure for changing multiple properties at once on units ↵Lennart Poettering
and hook some cgroup attributes up to it This introduces two bus calls to make runtime changes to selected bus properties, optionally with persistence. This currently hooks this up only for three cgroup atributes, but this brings the infrastructure to add more changable attributes. This allows setting multiple attributes at once, and takes an array rather than a dictionary of properties, in order to implement simple resetting of lists using the same approach as when they are sourced from unit files. This means, that list properties are appended to by this call, unless they are first reset via assigning the empty list.
2013-06-27core: general cgroup reworkLennart Poettering
Replace the very generic cgroup hookup with a much simpler one. With this change only the high-level cgroup settings remain, the ability to set arbitrary cgroup attributes is removed, so is support for adding units to arbitrary cgroup controllers or setting arbitrary paths for them (especially paths that are different for the various controllers). This also introduces a new -.slice root slice, that is the parent of system.slice and friends. This enables easy admin configuration of root-level cgrouo properties. This replaces DeviceDeny= by DevicePolicy=, and implicitly adds in /dev/null, /dev/zero and friends if DeviceAllow= is used (unless this is turned off by DevicePolicy=).

2013-06-20logind: add infrastructure to keep track of machines, and move to slicesLennart Poettering
- This changes all logind cgroup objects to use slice objects rather than fixed croup locations. - logind can now collect minimal information about running VMs/containers. As fixed cgroup locations can no longer be used we need an entity that keeps track of machine cgroups in whatever slice they might be located. Since logind already keeps track of users, sessions and seats this is a trivial addition. - nspawn will now register with logind and pass various bits of metadata along. A new option "--slice=" has been added to place the container in a specific slice. - loginctl gained commands to list, introspect and terminate machines. - user.slice and machine.slice will now be pulled in by logind.service, since only logind.service requires this slice.

2013-06-17core: add new .slice unit type for partitioning systemsLennart Poettering
In order to prepare for the kernel cgroup rework, let's introduce a new unit type to systemd, the "slice". Slices can be arranged in a tree and are useful to partition resources freely and hierarchally by the user. Each service unit can now be assigned to one of these slices, and later on login users and machines may too. Slices translate pretty directly to the cgroup hierarchy, and the various objects can be assigned to any of the slices in the tree.
