2014-11-21man: add emacs header to get correct indention in nxml-mode for the manpage ↵Lennart Poettering
XML files that use 2ch indenting In the long run we really should figure out if we want to stick with 8ch or 2ch indenting, and not continue with half-and-half. For now, just make emacs aware of the files that use 2ch indenting.
2014-11-05core: introduce new Delegate=yes/no property controlling creation of cgroup ↵Lennart Poettering
subhierarchies For priviliged units this resource control property ensures that the processes have all controllers systemd manages enabled. For unpriviliged services (those with User= set) this ensures that access rights to the service cgroup is granted to the user in question, to create further subgroups. Note that this only applies to the name=systemd hierarchy though, as access to other controllers is not safe for unpriviliged processes. Delegate=yes should be set for container scopes where a systemd instance inside the container shall manage the hierarchies below its own cgroup and have access to all controllers. Delegate=yes should also be set for user@.service, so that systemd --user can run, controlling its own cgroup tree. This commit changes machined, systemd-nspawn@.service and user@.service to set this boolean, in order to ensure that container management will just work, and the user systemd instance can run fine.

Now that we have two options described in the same paragraph, we cannot use singular anymore.
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.
2014-05-22cgroup: rework startup logicLennart Poettering
Introduce a (unsigned long) -1 as "unset" state for cpu shares/block io weights, and keep the startup unit set around all the time.
2014-05-22core: add startup resource control optionWaLyong Cho
Similar to CPUShares= and BlockIOWeight= respectively. However only assign the specified weight during startup. Each control group attribute is re-assigned as weight by CPUShares=weight and BlockIOWeight=weight after startup. If not CPUShares= or BlockIOWeight= be specified, then the attribute is re-assigned to each default attribute value. (default cpu.shares=1024, blkio.weight=1000) If only CPUShares=weight or BlockIOWeight=weight be specified, then that implies StartupCPUShares=weight and StartupBlockIOWeight=weight.

2014-02-23core: clean up some confusing regarding SI decimal and IEC binary suffixes ↵Lennart Poettering
for sizes According to Wikipedia it is customary to specify hardware metrics and transfer speeds to the basis 1000 (SI decimal), while software metrics and physical volatile memory (RAM) sizes to the basis 1024 (IEC binary). So far we specified everything in IEC, let's fix that and be more true to what's otherwise customary. Since we don't want to parse "Mi" instead of "M" we document each time what the context used is.

This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes…
2013-09-30man: link cgroups api docs from relevant man pagesLennart Poettering
2013-09-27man: drop references to "cgroup" wher appropriateLennart Poettering
Since cgroups are mostly now an implementation detail of systemd lets deemphasize it a bit in the man pages. This renames systemd.cgroup(5) to systemd.resource-control(5) and uses the term "resource control" rather than "cgroup" where appropriate. This leaves the word "cgroup" in at a couple of places though, like for example systemd-cgtop and systemd-cgls where cgroup stuff is at the core of what is happening.
