2016-10-06core: add possibility to set action for ctrl-alt-del burst (#4105)Lukáš Nykrýn
For some certification, it should not be possible to reboot the machine through ctrl-alt-delete. Currently we suggest our customers to mask the ctrl-alt-delete target, but that is obviously not enough. Patching the keymaps to disable that is really not a way to go for them, because the settings need to be easily checked by some SCAP tools.
2016-07-22core: change TasksMax= default for system services to 15%Lennart Poettering
As it turns out 512 is max number of tasks per service is hit by too many applications, hence let's bump it a bit, and make it relative to the system's maximum number of PIDs. With this change the new default is 15%. At the kernel's default pids_max value of 32768 this translates to 4915. At machined's default TasksMax= setting of 16384 this translates to 2457. Why 15%? Because it sounds like a round number and is close enough to 4096 which I was going for, i.e. an eight-fold increase over the old 512 Summary: | on the host | in a container old default | 512 | 512 new default | 4915 | 2457
2016-04-29core: rename StartLimitInterval= to StartLimitIntervalSec=Lennart Poettering
We generally follow the rule that for time settings we suffix the setting name with "Sec" to indicate the default unit if none is specified. The only exception was the rate limiting interval settings. Fix this, and keep the old names for compatibility. Do the same for journald's RateLimitInterval= setting
2015-11-25core: support <soft:hard> ranges for RLIMIT optionsKarel Zak
The new parser supports: <value> - specify both limits to the same value <soft:hard> - specify both limits the size or time specific suffixes are supported, for example LimitRTTIME=1sec LimitAS=4G:16G The patch introduces parse_rlimit_range() and rlim type (size, sec, usec, etc.) specific parsers. No code is duplicated now. The patch also sync docs for DefaultLimitXXX= and LimitXXX=. References: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1769
2015-11-16core: enable TasksMax= for all services by default, and set it to 512Lennart Poettering
Also, enable TasksAccounting= for all services by default, too. See: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-November/035006.html
2015-11-13core: add new DefaultTasksMax= setting for system.confLennart Poettering
This allows initializing the TasksMax= setting of all units by default to some fixed value, instead of leaving it at infinity as before.
2015-11-06core: support IEC suffixes for RLIMIT stuffKarel Zak
Let's make things more user-friendly and support for example LimitAS=16G rather than force users to always use LimitAS=16106127360. The change is relevant for options: [Default]Limit{FSIZE,DATA,STACK,CORE,RSS,AS,MEMLOCK,MSGQUEUE} The patch introduces config_parse_bytes_limit(), it's the same as config_parse_limit() but uses parse_size() tu support the suffixes. Addresses: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1772
2015-10-27man: Update man page documentation for CPUAffinityFilipe Brandenburger
Document support for commas as a separator and possibility of specifying ranges of CPU indices. Tested by regenerating the manpages locally and reading them on man.
2015-09-29core: rework crash handlingLennart Poettering
This introduces a new systemd.crash_reboot=1 kernel command line option that triggers a reboot after crashing. This also cleans up crash VT handling. Specifically, it cleans up the configuration setting, to be between 1..63 or a boolean. This is to replace the previous logic where "-1" meant disabled. We continue to accept that setting, but only document the boolean syntax instead. This also brings the documentation of the default settings in sync with what actually happens. The CrashChVT= configuration file setting is renamed to CrashChangeVT=, following our usual logic of not abbreviating unnecessarily. The old setting stays support for compat reasons. Fixes #1300
2015-09-10core: add support for the "pids" cgroup controllerLennart Poettering
This adds support for the new "pids" cgroup controller of 4.3 kernels. It allows accounting the number of tasks in a cgroup and enforcing limits on it. This adds two new setting TasksAccounting= and TasksMax= to each unit, as well as a gloabl option DefaultTasksAccounting=. This also updated "cgtop" to optionally make use of the new kernel-provided accounting. systemctl has been updated to show the number of tasks for each service if it is available. This patch also adds correct support for undoing memory limits for units using a MemoryLimit=infinity syntax. We do the same for TasksMax= now and hence keep things in sync here.
2015-06-18man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
2015-05-28man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

2015-03-03Do not advertise .d snippets over main config fileZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
For daemons which have a main configuration file, there's little reason for the administrator to use configuration snippets. They are useful for packagers which need to override settings, but we shouldn't advertise that as the main way of configuring those services. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89397

2014-10-28core: remove system start timeout logic againLennart Poettering
The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by long-running services that are included in the initial system startup transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it. Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more finegrained.
2014-08-22core: introduce "poweroff" as new failure action typesLennart Poettering
Also, change the default action on a system start-up timeout to powering off.
2014-08-22core: add support for a configurable system-wide start-up timeoutLennart Poettering
When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the failure actions already implemented for services that fail. This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while. When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters. Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
2014-07-07man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
2014-05-22cgroups: simplify CPUQuota= logicLennart Poettering
Only accept cpu quota values in percentages, get rid of period definition. It's not clear whether the CFS period controllable per-cgroup even has a future in the kernel, hence let's simplify all this, hardcode the period to 100ms and only accept percentage based quota values.

This is useful to prohibit execution of non-native processes on systems, for example 32bit binaries on 64bit systems, this lowering the attack service on incorrect syscall and ioctl 32→64bit mappings.

This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
