2016-05-16man: clarify that IOXyz= only applies to the unified hierarchy, and ↵Lennart Poettering
BlockIOXyz= to the legacy hierarchy With this change for each setting we say which hierarachy it applies to briefly in the first sentence of the description, plus in longer form in an extra pargraph at the end, with a recommendation for the counterpart of the option in the other hierarchy. Also adds markup and the "=" suffix to all mentioned settings.

2016-05-15namespace: Make private /dev noexec and readonly (#3263)topimiettinen
Private /dev will not be managed by udev or others, so we can make it noexec and readonly after we have made all device nodes. As /dev/shm needs to be writable, we can't use bind_remount_recursive().

2016-05-12Create initrd-root-device.target synchronization point (#3239)Daniel Drake
Add a synchronization point so that custom initramfs units can run after the root device becomes available, before it is fsck'd and mounted. This is useful for custom initramfs units that may modify the root disk partition table, where the root device is not known in advance (it's dynamically selected by the generators).

2016-05-09networkd: reworkd LLDP emission to allow control of propagation levelLennart Poettering
This allows selecting the propagation level of emitted LLDP packets (specifically: the destination MAC address of the packets). This is useful because it allows generating LLDP packets that optionally cross certain types of bridges. See 802.11ab-2009, Table 7-1 for details.

2016-05-05logind: enforce a limit on inhibitors we hand outLennart Poettering
For similar reasons as the recent addition of a limit on sessions. Note that we don't enforce a limit on inhibitors per-user currently, but there's an implicit one, since each inhibitor takes up one fd, and fds are limited via RLIMIT_NOFILE, and the limit on the number of processes per user.
2016-05-05logind: enforce a limit on current user sessionsLennart Poettering
We really should put limits on all resources we manage, hence add one to the number of concurrent sessions, too. This was previously unbounded, hence set a relatively high limit of 8K by default. Note that most PAM setups will actually invoke pam_systemd prefixed with "-", so that the return code of pam_systemd is ignored, and the login attempt succeeds anyway. On systems like this the session will be created but is not tracked by systemd.
2016-05-05core: add io controller support on the unified hierarchyTejun Heo
On the unified hierarchy, blkio controller is renamed to io and the interface is changed significantly. * blkio.weight and blkio.weight_device are consolidated into io.weight which uses the standardized weight range [1, 10000] with 100 as the default value. * blkio.throttle.{read|write}_{bps|iops}_device are consolidated into io.max. Expansion of throttling features is being worked on to support work-conserving absolute limits (io.low and io.high). * All stats are consolidated into io.stats. This patchset adds support for the new interface. As the interface has been revamped and new features are expected to be added, it seems best to treat it as a separate controller rather than trying to expand the blkio settings although we might add automatic translation if only blkio settings are specified. * io.weight handling is mostly identical to blkio.weight[_device] handling except that the weight range is different. * Both read and write bandwidth settings are consolidated into CGroupIODeviceLimit which describes all limits applicable to the device. This makes it less painful to add new limits. * "max" can be used to specify the maximum limit which is equivalent to no config for max limits and treated as such. If a given CGroupIODeviceLimit doesn't contain any non-default configs, the config struct is discarded once the no limit config is applied to cgroup. * lookup_blkio_device() is renamed to lookup_block_device().

2016-05-03networkd: add support to set route tableSusant Sahani
networkd: add support to set route table 1. add support to configure the table id. if id is less than 256 we can fit this in the header of route as netlink property is a char. But in kernel this proepty is a unsigned 32. Hence if greater that 256 add this as RTA_TABLE attribute. 2. we are not setting the address family now. Now set this property.

2016-05-02core: move enforcement of the start limit into per-unit-type code againLennart Poettering
Let's move the enforcement of the per-unit start limit from unit.c into the type-specific files again. For unit types that know a concept of "result" codes this allows us to hook up the start limit condition to it with an explicit result code. Also, this makes sure that the state checks in clal like service_start() may be done before the start limit is checked, as the start limit really should be checked last, right before everything has been verified to be in order. The generic start limit logic is left in unit.c, but the invocation of it is moved into the per-type files, in the various xyz_start() functions, so that they may place the check at the right location. Note that this change drops the enforcement entirely from device, slice, target and scope units, since these unit types generally may not fail activation, or may only be activated a single time. This is also documented now. Note that restores the "start-limit-hit" result code that existed before 6bf0f408e4833152197fb38fb10a9989c89f3a59 already in the service code. However, it's not introduced for all units that have a result code concept. Fixes #3166.

2016-04-29core: rename StartLimitInterval= to StartLimitIntervalSec=Lennart Poettering
We generally follow the rule that for time settings we suffix the setting name with "Sec" to indicate the default unit if none is specified. The only exception was the rate limiting interval settings. Fix this, and keep the old names for compatibility. Do the same for journald's RateLimitInterval= setting
2016-04-29core: move start ratelimiting check after condition checksLennart Poettering
With #2564 unit start rate limiting was moved from after the condition checks are to before they are made, in an attempt to fix #2467. This however resulted in #2684. However, with a previous commit a concept of per socket unit trigger rate limiting has been added, to fix #2467 more comprehensively, hence the start limit can be moved after the condition checks again, thus fixing #2684. Fixes: #2684
2016-04-29core: introduce activation rate limiting for socket unitsLennart Poettering
This adds two new settings TriggerLimitIntervalSec= and TriggerLimitBurst= that define a rate limit for activation of socket units. When the limit is hit, the socket is is put into a failure mode. This is an alternative fix for #2467, since the original fix resulted in issue #2684. In a later commit the StartLimitInterval=/StartLimitBurst= rate limiter will be changed to be applied after any start conditions checks are made. This way, there are two separate rate limiters enforced: one at triggering time, before any jobs are queued with this patch, as well as the start limit that is moved again to be run immediately before the unit is activated. Condition checks are done in between the two, and thus no longer affect the start limit.

2016-04-26smaller journal fixes (#3124)Lennart Poettering
* sd-journal: detect earlier if we try to read an object from an invalid offset Specifically, detect early if we try to read from offset 0, i.e. are using uninitialized offset data. * journal: when dumping journal contents, react nicer to lines we can't read If journal files are not cleanly closed it might happen that intermediaery journal entries cannot be read. Handle this nicely, skip over the unreadable entries, and log a debug message about it; after all we generally follow the logic that we try to make the best of corrupted files. * journal-file: always generate the same error when encountering corrupted files Let's make sure EBADMSG is the one error we throw when we encounter corrupted data, so that we can neatly test for it. * journal-file: when iterating through a partly corruped journal file, treat error like EOF When we linearly iterate through a corrupted journal file, and we encounter a read error, don't consider this fatal, but merely as EOF condition (and log about it). * journal-file: make seeking in corrupted files work Previously, when we used a bisection table for seeking through a corrupted file, and the end of the bisection table was corrupted we'd most likely fail the entire seek operation. Improve the situation: if we encounter invalid entries in a bisection table, linearly go backwards until we find a working entry again. * man: elaborate on the automatic systemd-journald.socket service dependencies Fixes: #1603
