Commandline parsing simplification and udev fix
2016-10-24shared, systemctl: teach is-enabled to show installation targetsJan Synacek
It may be desired by users to know what targets a particular service is installed into. Improve user friendliness by teaching the is-enabled command to show such information when used with --full. This patch makes use of the newly added UnitFileFlags and adds UNIT_FILE_DRY_RUN flag into it. Since the API had already been modified, it's now easy to add the new dry-run feature for other commands as well. As a next step, --dry-run could be added to systemctl, which in turn might pave the way for a long requested dry-run feature when running systemctl start.

2016-10-22journald: convert journald to use parse_proc_cmdlineZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This makes journald use the common option parsing functionality. One behavioural change is implemented: "systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog" is now equivalent to "systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog=1". I think it's nicer to use this way.

2016-10-17core/exec: add a named-descriptor option ("fd") for streams (#4179)Luca Bruno
This commit adds a `fd` option to `StandardInput=`, `StandardOutput=` and `StandardError=` properties in order to connect standard streams to externally named descriptors provided by some socket units. This option looks for a file descriptor named as the corresponding stream. Custom names can be specified, separated by a colon. If multiple name-matches exist, the first matching fd will be used.

2016-10-15man: drop discouragment of runtime and vendor drop-insZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
In certain situations drop-ins in /usr/lib/ are useful, for example when one package wants to modify the behaviour of another package, or the vendor wants to tweak some upstream unit without patching. Drop-ins in /run are useful for testing, and may also be created by systemd itself. Follow-up for the discussion in #2103.

2016-10-14core: make settings for unified cgroup hierarchy supersede the ones for ↵Tejun Heo
legacy hierarchy (#4269) There are overlapping control group resource settings for the unified and legacy hierarchies. To help transition, the settings are translated back and forth. When both versions of a given setting are present, the one matching the cgroup hierarchy type in use is used. Unfortunately, this is more confusing to use and document than necessary because there is no clear static precedence. Update the translation logic so that the settings for the unified hierarchy are always preferred. systemd.resource-control man page is updated to reflect the change and reorganized so that the deprecated settings are at the end in its own section.

Lets go further and make /lib/modules/ inaccessible for services that do not have business with modules, this is a minor improvment but it may help on setups with custom modules and they are limited... in regard of kernel auto-load feature. This change introduce NameSpaceInfo struct which we may embed later inside ExecContext but for now lets just reduce the argument number to setup_namespace() and merge ProtectKernelModules feature.

2016-10-12core:sandbox: Add ProtectKernelModules= optionDjalal Harouni
This is useful to turn off explicit module load and unload operations on modular kernels. This option removes CAP_SYS_MODULE from the capability bounding set for the unit, and installs a system call filter to block module system calls. This option will not prevent the kernel from loading modules using the module auto-load feature which is a system wide operation.

2016-10-07core: add "invocation ID" concept to service managerLennart Poettering
This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active state. The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1 maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it. Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service already ended. The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel, except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system. The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable. It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the "trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better choice for the journal. Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is. This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128: sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to sd_id128_get_boot(). PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs information about a unit. A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the current runtime cycleof it. Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the messages.

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.
