2016-08-22core: add Ref()/Unref() bus calls for unitsLennart Poettering
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).

2016-08-19terminal-util: use getenv_bool for $SYSTEMD_COLORSZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This changes the semantics a bit: before, SYSTEMD_COLORS= would be treated as "yes", same as SYSTEMD_COLORS=xxx and SYSTEMD_COLORS=1, and only SYSTEMD_COLORS=0 would be treated as "no". Now, only valid booleans are treated as "yes". This actually matches how $SYSTEMD_COLORS was announced in NEWS.

2016-08-18logind: update empty and "infinity" handling for [User]TasksMax (#3835)Tejun Heo
The parsing functions for [User]TasksMax were inconsistent. Empty string and "infinity" were interpreted as no limit for TasksMax but not accepted for UserTasksMax. Update them so that they're consistent with other knobs. * Empty string indicates the default value. * "infinity" indicates no limit. While at it, replace opencoded (uint64_t) -1 with CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX in TasksMax handling. v2: Update empty string to indicate the default value as suggested by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek. v3: Fixed empty UserTasksMax handling.
2016-08-19core: add RemoveIPC= settingLennart Poettering
This adds the boolean RemoveIPC= setting to service, socket, mount and swap units (i.e. all unit types that may invoke processes). if turned on, and the unit's user/group is not root, all IPC objects of the user/group are removed when the service is shut down. The life-cycle of the IPC objects is hence bound to the unit life-cycle. This is particularly relevant for units with dynamic users, as it is essential that no objects owned by the dynamic users survive the service exiting. In fact, this patch adds code to imply RemoveIPC= if DynamicUser= is set. In order to communicate the UID/GID of an executed process back to PID 1 this adds a new "user lookup" socket pair, that is inherited into the forked processes, and closed before the exec(). This is needed since we cannot do NSS from PID 1 due to deadlock risks, However need to know the used UID/GID in order to clean up IPC owned by it if the unit shuts down.
2016-08-18add a new tool for creating transient mount and automount unitsLennart Poettering
This adds "systemd-mount" which is for transient mount and automount units what "systemd-run" is for transient service, scope and timer units. The tool allows establishing mounts and automounts during runtime. It is very similar to the usual /bin/mount commands, but can pull in additional dependenices on access (for example, it pulls in fsck automatically), an take benefit of the automount logic. This tool is particularly useful for mount removable file systems (such as USB sticks), as the automount logic (together with automatic unmount-on-idle), as well as automatic fsck on first access ensure that the removable file system has a high chance to remain in a fully clean state even when it is unplugged abruptly, and returns to a clean state on the next re-plug. This is a follow-up for #2471, as it adds a simple client-side for the transient automount logic added in that PR. In later work it might make sense to invoke this tool automatically from udev rules in order to implement a simpler and safer version of removable media management á la udisks.

2016-08-12journalctl: allow --root argument for journal watchingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is useful to look at a (possibly inactive) container or other os tree with --root=/path/to/container. This is similar to specifying --directory=/path/to/container/var/log/journal --directory=/path/to/container/run/systemd/journal (if using --directory multiple times was allowed), but doesn't require as much typing.
2016-08-12sd-journal: allow SYSTEM and CURRENT_USER flags with sd_j_open_directory[_fd]Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
There is no reason not to. This makes journalctl -D ... --system work, useful for example when viewing files from a deactivated container.

2016-08-07core: add cgroup CPU controller support on the unified hierarchyTejun Heo
Unfortunately, due to the disagreements in the kernel development community, CPU controller cgroup v2 support has not been merged and enabling it requires applying two small out-of-tree kernel patches. The situation is explained in the following documentation. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git/tree/Documentation/cgroup-v2-cpu.txt?h=cgroup-v2-cpu While it isn't clear what will happen with CPU controller cgroup v2 support, there are critical features which are possible only on cgroup v2 such as buffered write control making cgroup v2 essential for a lot of workloads. This commit implements systemd CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy so that users who choose to deploy CPU controller cgroup v2 support can easily take advantage of it. On the unified hierarchy, "cpu.weight" knob replaces "cpu.shares" and "cpu.max" replaces "cpu.cfs_period_us" and "cpu.cfs_quota_us". [Startup]CPUWeight config options are added with the usual compat translation. CPU quota settings remain unchanged and apply to both legacy and unified hierarchies. v2: - Error in man page corrected. - CPU config application in cgroup_context_apply() refactored. - CPU accounting now works on unified hierarchy.

2016-08-04nss-systemd: resolve root/nobody staticallyLennart Poettering
Let's extend nss-systemd to also synthesize user/group entries for the UIDs/GIDs 0 and 65534 which have special kernel meaning. Given that nss-systemd is listed in /etc/nsswitch.conf only very late any explicit listing in /etc/passwd or /etc/group takes precedence. This functionality is useful in minimal container-like setups that lack /etc/passwd files (or only have incompletely populated ones).

2016-08-03journalctl: add new output mode "short-full" (#3880)Lennart Poettering
This new output mode formats all timestamps using the usual format_timestamp() call we use pretty much everywhere else. Timestamps formatted this way are some ways more useful than traditional syslog timestamps as they include weekday, month and timezone information, while not being much longer. They are also not locale-dependent. The primary advantage however is that they may be passed directly to journalctl's --since= and --until= switches as soon as #3869 is merged. While we are at it, let's also add "short-unix" to shell completion.
2016-08-03util-lib: make timestamp generation and parsing reversible (#3869)Lennart Poettering
This patch improves parsing and generation of timestamps and calendar specifications in two ways: - The week day is now always printed in the abbreviated English form, instead of the locale's setting. This makes sure we can always parse the week day again, even if the locale is changed. Given that we don't follow locale settings for printing timestamps in any other way either (for example, we always use 24h syntax in order to make uniform parsing possible), it only makes sense to also stick to a generic, non-localized form for the timestamp, too. - When parsing a timestamp, the local timezone (in its DST or non-DST name) may be specified, in addition to "UTC". Other timezones are still not supported however (not because we wouldn't want to, but mostly because libc offers no nice API for that). In itself this brings no new features, however it ensures that any locally formatted timestamp's timezone is also parsable again. These two changes ensure that the output of format_timestamp() may always be passed to parse_timestamp() and results in the original input. The related flavours for usec/UTC also work accordingly. Calendar specifications are extended in a similar way. The man page is updated accordingly, in particular this removes the claim that timestamps systemd prints wouldn't be parsable by systemd. They are now. The man page previously showed invalid timestamps as examples. This has been removed, as the man page shouldn't be a unit test, where such negative examples would be useful. The man page also no longer mentions the names of internal functions, such as format_timestamp_us() or UNIX error codes such as EINVAL.
