2016-09-25man: shorten the exit status table a bitLennart Poettering
Let's merge a couple of columns, to make the table a bit shorter. This effectively just drops whitespace, not contents, but makes the currently humungous table much much more compact.

2016-09-25man: rework documentation for ReadOnlyPaths= and related settingsLennart Poettering
This reworks the documentation for ReadOnlyPaths=, ReadWritePaths=, InaccessiblePaths=. It no longer claims that we'd follow symlinks relative to the host file system. (Which wasn't true actually, as we didn't follow symlinks at all in the most recent releases, and we know do follow them, but relative to RootDirectory=). This also replaces all references to the fact that all fs namespacing options can be undone with enough privileges and disable propagation by a single one in the documentation of ReadOnlyPaths= and friends, and then directs the read to this in all other places. Moreover a hint is added to the documentation of SystemCallFilter=, suggesting usage of ~@mount in case any of the fs namespacing related options are used.
2016-09-25man: in user-facing documentaiton don't reference C function namesLennart Poettering
Let's drop the reference to the cap_from_name() function in the documentation for the capabilities setting, as it is hardly helpful. Our readers are not necessarily C hackers knowing the semantics of cap_from_name(). Moreover, the strings we accept are just the plain capability names as listed in capabilities(7) hence there's really no point in confusing the user with anything else.
2016-09-25core: imply ProtectHome=read-only and ProtectSystem=strict if DynamicUser=1Lennart Poettering
Let's make sure that services that use DynamicUser=1 cannot leave files in the file system should the system accidentally have a world-writable directory somewhere. This effectively ensures that directories need to be whitelisted rather than blacklisted for access when DynamicUser=1 is set.
2016-09-25core: introduce ProtectSystem=strictLennart Poettering
Let's tighten our sandbox a bit more: with this change ProtectSystem= gains a new setting "strict". If set, the entire directory tree of the system is mounted read-only, but the API file systems /proc, /dev, /sys are excluded (they may be managed with PrivateDevices= and ProtectKernelTunables=). Also, /home and /root are excluded as those are left for ProtectHome= to manage. In this mode, all "real" file systems (i.e. non-API file systems) are mounted read-only, and specific directories may only be excluded via ReadWriteDirectories=, thus implementing an effective whitelist instead of blacklist of writable directories. While we are at, also add /efi to the list of paths always affected by ProtectSystem=. This is a follow-up for b52a109ad38cd37b660ccd5394ff5c171a5e5355 which added /efi as alternative for /boot. Our namespacing logic should respect that too.
2016-09-25core: add two new service settings ProtectKernelTunables= and ↵Lennart Poettering
ProtectControlGroups= If enabled, these will block write access to /sys, /proc/sys and /proc/sys/fs/cgroup.

2016-08-31machinectl: split OS field in two; print ip addresses (#4058)Seraphime Kirkovski
This splits the OS field in two : one for the distribution name and one for the the version id. Dashes are written for missing fields. This also prints ip addresses of known machines. The `--max-addresses` option specifies how much ip addresses we want to see. The default is 1. When more than one address is written for a machine, a `,` follows it. If there are more ips than `--max-addresses`, `...` follows the last address.

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).
2016-08-22man: document sd_bus_track objectsLennart Poettering

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.
