2016-07-22core: change TasksMax= default for system services to 15%Lennart Poettering
As it turns out 512 is max number of tasks per service is hit by too many applications, hence let's bump it a bit, and make it relative to the system's maximum number of PIDs. With this change the new default is 15%. At the kernel's default pids_max value of 32768 this translates to 4915. At machined's default TasksMax= setting of 16384 this translates to 2457. Why 15%? Because it sounds like a round number and is close enough to 4096 which I was going for, i.e. an eight-fold increase over the old 512 Summary: | on the host | in a container old default | 512 | 512 new default | 4915 | 2457
2016-07-22logind: change TasksMax= value for user logins to 33%Lennart Poettering
Let's change from a fixed value of 12288 tasks per user to a relative value of 33%, which with the kernel's default of 32768 translates to 10813. This is a slight decrease of the limit, for no other reason than "33%" sounding like a nice round number that is close enough to 12288 (which would translate to 37.5%). (Well, it also has the nice effect of still leaving a bit of room in the PID space if there are 3 cooperating evil users that try to consume all PIDs... Also, I like my bikesheds blue). Since the new value is taken relative, and machined's TasksMax= setting defaults to 16384, 33% inside of containers is usually equivalent to 5406, which should still be ample space. To summarize: | on the host | in the container old default | 12288 | 12288 new default | 10813 | 5406
2016-07-22core: support percentage specifications on TasksMax=Lennart Poettering
This adds support for a TasksMax=40% syntax for specifying values relative to the system's configured maximum number of processes. This is useful in order to neatly subdivide the available room for tasks within containers.

bootctl: Always use upper case for "/EFI/BOOT" and "/EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI".
2016-07-21bootctl: Always use upper case for "/EFI/BOOT" and "/EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI".Alexander Kurtz
If the ESP is not mounted with "iocharset=ascii", but with "iocharset=utf8" (which is for example the default in Debian), the file system becomes case sensitive. This means that a file created as "FooBarBaz" cannot be accessed as "foobarbaz" since those are then considered different files. Moreover, a file created as "FooBar" can then also not be accessed as "foobar", and it also prevents such a file from being created, as both would use the same 8.3 short name "FOOBAR". Even though the UEFI specification [0] does give the canonical spelling for the files mentioned above, not all implementations completely conform to that, so it's possible that those files would already exist, but with a different spelling, causing subtle bugs when scanning or modifying the ESP. While the proper fix would of course be that everybody conformed to the standard, we can work around this problem by just referencing the files by their 8.3 short names, i.e. using upper case. Fixes: #3740 [0] <http://www.uefi.org/specifications>, version 2.6, section 3.5.1.1

2016-07-19man: revise entry about specifying a file path (#3739)mulkieran
* Specifying a device node has an effect much larger than a simple shortcut for a field/value match, so the original sentence is no longer a good way to start the paragraph. * Specifying a device node causes matches to be generated for all ancestor devices of the device specified, not just its parents. * Indicates that the path must be absolute, but that it may be a link. * Eliminates a few typos.

2016-07-19doc,core: Read{Write,Only}Paths= and InaccessiblePaths=Alessandro Puccetti
This patch renames Read{Write,Only}Directories= and InaccessibleDirectories= to Read{Write,Only}Paths= and InaccessiblePaths=, previous names are kept as aliases but they are not advertised in the documentation. Renamed variables: `read_write_dirs` --> `read_write_paths` `read_only_dirs` --> `read_only_paths` `inaccessible_dirs` --> `inaccessible_paths`
2016-07-19namespace: unify limit behavior on non-directory pathsAlessandro Puccetti
Despite the name, `Read{Write,Only}Directories=` already allows for regular file paths to be masked. This commit adds the same behavior to `InaccessibleDirectories=` and makes it explicit in the doc. This patch introduces `/run/systemd/inaccessible/{reg,dir,chr,blk,fifo,sock}` {dile,device}nodes and mounts on the appropriate one the paths specified in `InacessibleDirectories=`. Based on Luca's patch from https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3327

The distinction between systemd-shutdown the binary vs system-shutdown the hook directory (without the 'd') is not immediately obvious and can be quite confusing if you are looking for a directory which doesn't exist. Therefore explicitly mention the hook directory in the synopsis with a trailing slash to make it clearer which is which.

2016-06-30sd-event: expose the event loop iteration counter via ↵Lennart Poettering
sd_event_get_iteration() (#3631) This extends the existing event loop iteration counter to 64bit, and exposes it via a new function sd_event_get_iteration(). This is helpful for cases like issue #3612. After all, since we maintain the counter anyway, we might as well expose it. (This also fixes an unrelated issue in the man page for sd_event_wait() where micro and milliseconds got mixed up)

2016-06-24resolved: add option to disable caching (#3592)Martin Pitt
In some cases, caching DNS results locally is not desirable, a it makes DNS cache poisoning attacks a tad easier and also allows users on the system to determine whether or not a particular domain got visited by another user. Thus provide a new "Cache" resolved.conf option to disable it.

2016-06-22watchdog: Support changing watchdog_usec during runtime (#3492)Minkyung
Add sd_notify() parameter to change watchdog_usec during runtime. Application can change watchdog_usec value by sd_notify like this. Example. sd_notify(0, "WATCHDOG_USEC=20000000"). To reset watchdog_usec as configured value in service file, restart service. Notice. sd_event is not currently supported. If application uses sd_event_set_watchdog, or sd_watchdog_enabled, do not use "WATCHDOG_USEC" option through sd_notify.
