2016-05-25FSDG: os-release: Default to PRETTY_NAME "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux".Luke Shumaker
2016-05-25FSDG: man/: Refer to the operating system as GNU/Linux.Luke Shumaker
This is not a blind replacement of "Linux" with "GNU/Linux". In some cases, "Linux" is (correctly) used to refer to just the kernel. In others, it is in a string for which code must also be adjusted; these instances are not included in this commit.

2016-02-10man: correct explanation of "systemctl is-enabled" outputLennart Poettering
The "is-enabled" command doesn't care whether the symlinks are declared in the [Install] section of a unit file or not, when returning "enabled". Any alias, .wants/ or .requires/ symlinks suffice. Fixes: #975

cgroup: remove support for NetClass= directive
2016-02-10cgroup: remove support for NetClass= directiveDaniel Mack
Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism. However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel v4.5: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671 As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which obsoletes these controllers anyway. This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller, but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.
2016-02-10core: treat JobTimeout=0 as equivalent to JobTimeout=infinityLennart Poettering
Corrects an incompatibility introduced with 36c16a7cdd6c33d7980efc2cd6a2211941f302b4. Fixes: #2537
2016-02-10activate: add a new switch --inetd to enable inetd-style socket activationLennart Poettering
Previously, using --accept would enable inetd-style socket activation in addition to per-connection operation. This is now split into two switches: --accept only switches between per-connection or single-instance operation. --inetd switches between inetd-style or new-style fd passing. This breaks the interface of the tool, but given that it is a debugging tool shipped in /usr/lib/systemd/ it's not really a public interface. This change allows testing new-style per-connection daemons.

2016-02-10core: make the StartLimitXYZ= settings generic and apply to any kind of ↵Lennart Poettering
unit, not just services This moves the StartLimitBurst=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitAction=, RebootArgument= from the [Service] section into the [Unit] section of unit files, and thus support it in all unit types, not just in services. This way we can enforce the start limit much earlier, in particular before testing the unit conditions, so that repeated start-up failure due to failed conditions is also considered for the start limit logic. For compatibility the four options may also be configured in the [Service] section still, but we only document them in their new section [Unit]. This also renamed the socket unit failure code "service-failed-permanent" into "service-start-limit-hit" to express more clearly what it is about, after all it's only triggered through the start limit being hit. Finally, the code in busname_trigger_notify() and socket_trigger_notify() is altered to become more alike. Fixes: #2467

2016-02-03core: when a service's ExecStartPre= times out, skip ExecStop=Lennart Poettering
This makes sure we never run two control processes at the same time, we cannot keep track off. This introduces a slight change of behaviour but cleans up the definition of ExecStop= and ExecStopPost=. The former is now invoked only if the service managed to start-up correctly. The latter is called even if start-up failed half-way. Thus, ExecStopPost= may be used as clean-up step for both successful and failed start-up attempts, but ExecStop='s purpose is clearly defined as being responsible for shutting down the service and nothing else. The precise behaviour of this was not documented yet. This commit adds the necessary docs. Fixes: #1254
2016-02-03nspawn: optionally run a stub init process as PID 1Lennart Poettering
This adds a new switch --as-pid2, which allows running commands as PID 2, while a stub init process is run as PID 1. This is useful in order to run arbitrary commands in a container, as PID1's semantics are different from all other processes regarding reaping of unknown children or signal handling.

2016-01-28systemctl: rename "reload-or-try-restart" verb to "try-reload-or-restart"Lennart Poettering
But also keep the old name as (undocumented) compatibility around. The reload-or-try-restart was documented to be a NOP if the unit is not running, since the previous commits this is also implemented. The old name suggests that the "try" logic only applies to restarting. Fix this, by moving the "try-" to the front, to indicate that the whole option is a NOP if the service isn't running.
