This adds two (privileged) bus calls Ref() and Unref() to the Unit interface.
The two calls may be used by clients to pin a unit into memory, so that various
runtime properties aren't flushed out by the automatic GC. This is necessary
to permit clients to race-freely acquire runtime results (such as process exit
status/code or accumulated CPU time) on successful service termination.
Ref() and Unref() are fully recursive, hence act like the usual reference
counting concept in C. Taking a reference is a privileged operation, as this
allows pinning units into memory which consumes resources.
Transient units may also gain a reference at the time of creation, via the new
AddRef property (that is only defined for transient units at the time of
creation).

Fix preset-all
|
|
(#3995)
As suggested:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3958#issuecomment-240410958
Let's document that we try hard to pass system state from the initrd to the
host, and even compare the systemd binary paths.
|
|
real names
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.
|
|
Meaning of --all was mentioned in list-dependencies description, but the this
effect should also be mentioned in the description of the option itself.
|
|
To "search something", in the meaning of looking for it, is valid,
but "search _for_ something" is much more commonly used, especially when
the meaning could be confused with "looking _through_ something"
(for some other object).
(C.f. "the police search a person", "the police search for a person".)
Also reword the rest of the paragraph to avoid using "automatically"
three times.
|
|
"systemctl enable"
Clarify that "systemctl enable" can operate either on unit names or on unit
file paths (also, adjust the --help text to clarify this). Say that "systemctl
enable" on unit file paths also links the unit into the search path.
Many other fixes.
This should improve the documentation to avoid further confusion around #3706.

When "preset" was executed for a unit without install info, we'd warn similarly
as for "enable" and "disable". But "preset" is usually called for all units,
because the preset files are provided by the distribution, and the units are under
control of individual programs, and it's reasonable to call "preset" for all units
rather then try to do it only for the ones that can be installed.
We also don't warn about missing info for "preset-all". Thus it seems reasonable
to silently ignore units w/o install info when presetting.
(In addition, when more than one unit was specified, we'd issue the warning
only if none of them had install info. But this is probably something to fix
for enable/disable too.)
|
|
This allows dropping all user configuration and reverting back to the vendor
default of a unit file. It basically undoes what "systemctl edit", "systemctl
set-property" and "systemctl mask" do.
|
|
Now, that the search path logic knows the unit path for transient units we also
can introduce an explicit unit file state "transient" that clarifies to the
user what kind of unit file he is encountering.
|
|
Now that we store the generator directories in LookupPaths we can use this to
intrdouce a new unit file state called "generated", for units in these
directories.

With this option, systemctl will only print the rhs in show:
$ systemctl show -p Wants,After systemd-journald --value
systemd-journald.socket ...
systemd-journald-dev-log.socket ...
This is useful in scripts, because the need to call awk or similar
is removed.

|
|
|
The "is-enabled" command doesn't care whether the symlinks are declared in the
[Install] section of a unit file or not, when returning "enabled". Any alias,
.wants/ or .requires/ symlinks suffice.
Fixes: #975

Fixes: #1502

But also keep the old name as (undocumented) compatibility around.
The reload-or-try-restart was documented to be a NOP if the unit is not running, since the previous commits this is
also implemented. The old name suggests that the "try" logic only applies to restarting. Fix this, by moving the "try-"
to the front, to indicate that the whole option is a NOP if the service isn't running.
|
|
We generally document only the supported verbs, but not the compatibility verbs we also support, in order to keep the
documentation minimal.

systemctl is-enabled is not limited to wants.d - it also checks for
requires.d and alias links.

'set-property' has been primarly designed to change some properties of
*active* units.
However it can easily work on inactive units as well. In that case
changes are only saved in a drop-in for futur uses and changes will be
effective when unit will be started.
Actually it already works on inactive units but that was not
documented and not fully supported. Indeed the inactive units had to
be known by the manager otherwise it was reported as not loaded:
$ systemctl status my-test.service
* my-test.service - My Testing Unit
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/my-test.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.d
Active: inactive (dead)
$ systemctl set-property my-test.service MemoryLimit=1000000
Failed to set unit properties on my-test.service: Unit my-test.service is not loaded.
[ Note: that the unit load state reported by the 'status' command
might be confusing since it claimed the unit as loaded but
'set-property' reported the contrary. ]
One can possibily workaround this by making the unit a dependency of
another active unit so the manager will keep it around:
$ systemctl add-wants multi-user.target my-test.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/my-test.service to /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.
$ systemctl set-property my-test.service MemoryLimit=1000000
$ systemctl status my-test.service
* my-test.service - My Testing Unit
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/my-test.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.d
`-50-MemoryLimit.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
This patch simply forces 'SetUnitProperties()' to load the unit if
it's not already the case.
It also documents the fact that 'set-property' can be used on inactive
units.

Remove support for RequiresOverridable= and RequisiteOverridable=
|
|
As discussed at systemd.conf 2015 and on also raised on the ML:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-November/034880.html
This removes the two XyzOverridable= unit dependencies, that were
basically never used, and do not enhance user experience in any way.
Most folks looking for the functionality this provides probably opt for
the "ignore-dependencies" job mode, and that's probably a good idea.
Hence, let's simplify systemd's dependency engine and remove these two
dependency types (and their inverses).
The unit file parser and the dbus property parser will now redirect
the settings/properties to result in an equivalent non-overridable
dependency. In the case of the unit file parser we generate a warning,
to inform the user.
The dbus properties for this unit type stay available on the unit
objects, but they are now hidden from usual introspection and will
always return the empty list when queried.
This should provide enough compatibility for the few unit files that
actually ever made use of this.

[Install] data
Some distributions use alias unit files via symlinks in /usr to cover
for legacy service names. With this change we'll allow "systemctl
enable" on such aliases.
Previously, our rule was that symlinks are user configuration that
"systemctl enable" + "systemctl disable" creates and removes, while unit
files is where the instructions to do so are store. As a result of the
rule we'd never read install information through symlinks, since that
would mix enablement state with installation instructions.
Now, the new rule is that only symlinks inside of /etc are
configuration. Unit files, and symlinks in /usr are now valid for
installation instructions.
This patch is quite a rework of the whole install logic, and makes the
following addional changes:
- Adds a complete test "test-instal-root" that tests the install logic
pretty comprehensively.
- Never uses canonicalize_file_name(), because that's incompatible with
operation relative to a specific root directory.
- unit_file_get_state() is reworked to return a proper error, and
returns the state in a call-by-ref parameter. This cleans up confusion
between the enum type and errno-like errors.
- The new logic puts a limit on how long to follow unit file symlinks:
it will do so only for 64 steps at max.
- The InstallContext object's fields are renamed to will_process and
has_processed (will_install and has_installed) since they are also
used for deinstallation and all kinds of other operations.
- The root directory is always verified before use.
- install.c is reordered to place the exported functions together.
- Stricter rules are followed when traversing symlinks: the unit suffix
must say identical, and it's not allowed to link between regular units
and templated units.
- Various modernizations
- The "invalid" unit file state has been renamed to "bad", in order to
avoid confusion between UNIT_FILE_INVALID and
_UNIT_FILE_STATE_INVALID. Given that the state should normally not be
seen and is not documented this should not be a problematic change.
The new name is now documented however.

Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd
developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they
existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted
without harm.
The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system
is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire...
and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo"
those changes, which isn't really possible.
Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking
that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone,
and snapshots cannot be created anymore.
New systemctl says:
Unknown operation snapshot.
Old systemctl says:
Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed.
IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored:
Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored

Shell completion tweaks
|
|
booted with systemd
This sounds like the better place to expose this than in "systemd-notify
--booted".
Also document the so far undocumented "unknown" state the command might
return. And rearrange the table of states documented to be more like the
one for "is-running".
Also, don't document the precise exit code of this function, just say
errors are reported != 0 or > 0...
|
|
This mirrors --type=help and simplifies completion scripts.
The array of states is dense, so the is no need to check if the string is null.

When a systemd service running in a container exits with a non-zero
code, it can be useful to terminate the container immediately and get
the exit code back to the host, when systemd-nspawn returns. This was
not possible to do. This patch adds the following to make it possible:
- Add a read-only "ExitCode" property on PID 1's "Manager" bus object.
By default, it is 0 so the behaviour stays the same as previously.
- Add a method "SetExitCode" on the same object. The method fails when
called on baremetal: it is only allowed in containers or in user
session.
- Add support in systemctl to call "systemctl exit 42". It reuses the
existing code for user session.
- Add exit.target and systemd-exit.service to the system instance.
- Change main() to actually call systemd-shutdown to exit() with the
correct value.
- Add verb 'exit' in systemd-shutdown with parameter --exit-code
- Update systemctl manpage.
I used the following to test it:
| $ sudo rkt --debug --insecure-skip-verify run \
| --mds-register=false --local docker://busybox \
| --exec=/bin/chroot -- /proc/1/root \
| systemctl --force exit 42
| ...
| Container rkt-895a0cba-5c66-4fa5-831c-e3f8ddc5810d failed with error code 42.
| $ echo $?
| 42

Enable unprivileged users to set wall message on a shutdown
operation. When the message is set via the --message option,
it is logged together with the default shutdown message.
$ systemctl reboot --message "Applied kernel updates."
$ journalctl -b -1
...
systemd-logind[27]: System is rebooting. (Applied kernel updates.)
...

This description should provide the general rule, without
listing all the subcommands, which is bound to get out of date
too often.
