2012-10-03vconsole: default to the kernel compiled-in fontTom Gundersen
No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in vconsole.conf. The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not any longer. Rationale: * it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different from adding FONT=""; * the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should admittedly be fixed in the font itself); * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to use that unless anything else is specified; * This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and * We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).

2012-09-21logind: split up HandleSleepKey= into HandleSuspendKey= and HandleHibernateKey=Lennart Poettering
The kernel and X11 distuingish these two, and Thinkpad keys have both, hence we really should distinguish them too.

2012-09-17logind: make sure there's always a getty available on TTY6Lennart Poettering
Previously, if X allocated all 6 TTYs (for multi-session for example) no getty would be available anymore to guarantee console-based logins. With the new ReserveVT= switch in logind.conf we can now choose one VT (6 by default) that will always be subject to autovt-style activation, i.e. we'll always have a getty on TTY6, and X will never take possession of it.
2012-09-16tmpfiles: use write(2) for the 'w' actionDave Reisner
This resolves problems with filesystems which do not implement the aio_write file operation. In this case, the kernel will fall back using a loop writing technique for each pointer in a received iovec. The result is strange errors in dmesg such as: [ 31.855871] elevator: type not found [ 31.856262] elevator: switch to [ 31.856262] failed It does not make sense to implement a synchronous aio_write method for sysfs as this isn't a real filesystem where a reasonable use case for using writev exists, nor is there an expectation that tmpfiles will be used to write more data than can be reasonably written in a single write syscall. In addition, some sysfs attrs are currently buggy and will NOT reject the second write with the newline, causing the sysfs value to be zeroed out. This of course should be fixed in the kernel regardless of any wrongdoing in userspace, but this simple change makes us immune to such a bug. This change means that we do not write a trailing newline by default, as the expected use case of 'w' is for sysfs and procfs. In exchange, honor C-style backslash escapes so that if the newline is really needed, the user can add it.

2012-09-12tmpfiles: support globbing for w optionDave Reisner
Break out the write logic into a separate function and simply use it as a callback to glob_item. This allows users to consolidate writes to sysfs with multiple similar pathnames, e.g. w /sys/class/block/sd[a-z]/queue/read_ahead_kb - - - - 1024

2012-09-05shutdown: remove explicit sync() invocationsLennart Poettering
The kernel implicitly does sync() anyway, hence there is no need to do that in userspace explicitly. This makes the "-n" switch to halt(8) a noop.
2012-09-05journalctl: rework JSON output modeLennart Poettering
This splits the JSON output mode into different modes: json and json-pretty. The former printing one entry per line, the latter showing JSON objects nicely indented and in multiple lines to make it easier to read for humans.
2012-09-03main: jointly mount more controllersLennart Poettering
After talking to the cgroup kernel folks at LPC we came to the conclusion that it is probably a good idea to mount all CPU related resp. all network related cgroup controllers together, both because they are good defaults for admins and because this might prepare for eventual kernel cleanups where the ability to mount them separately is removed.

In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus which will not cause restart of a service. Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified by SuccessfulExitStatus.
2012-08-13namespace: rework namespace supportLennart Poettering
- don't use pivot_root() anymore, just reuse root hierarchy - first create all mounts, then mark them read-only so that we get the right behaviour when people want writable mounts inside of read-only mounts - don't pass invalid combinations of MS_ constants to the kernel
