2016-11-02core: make the root mount perpetual tooLennart Poettering
Now that have a proper concept of "perpetual" units, let's make the root mount one too, since it also cannot go away.
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).
2016-02-10tree-wide: remove Emacs lines from all filesDaniel Mack
This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that stuff in every file.
2015-09-01core: unified cgroup hierarchy supportLennart Poettering
This patch set adds full support the new unified cgroup hierarchy logic of modern kernels. A new kernel command line option "systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1" is added. If specified the unified hierarchy is mounted to /sys/fs/cgroup instead of a tmpfs. No further hierarchies are mounted. The kernel command line option defaults to off. We can turn it on by default as soon as the kernel's APIs regarding this are stabilized (but even then downstream distros might want to turn this off, as this will break any tools that access cgroupfs directly). It is possibly to choose for each boot individually whether the unified or the legacy hierarchy is used. nspawn will by default provide the legacy hierarchy to containers if the host is using it, and the unified otherwise. However it is possible to run containers with the unified hierarchy on a legacy host and vice versa, by setting the $UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY environment variable for nspawn to 1 or 0, respectively. The unified hierarchy provides reliable cgroup empty notifications for the first time, via inotify. To make use of this we maintain one manager-wide inotify fd, and each cgroup to it. This patch also removes cg_delete() which is unused now. On kernel 4.2 only the "memory" controller is compatible with the unified hierarchy, hence that's the only controller systemd exposes when booted in unified heirarchy mode. This introduces a new enum for enumerating supported controllers, plus a related enum for the mask bits mapping to it. The core is changed to make use of this everywhere. This moves PID 1 into a new "init.scope" implicit scope unit in the root slice. This is necessary since on the unified hierarchy cgroups may either contain subgroups or processes but not both. PID 1 hence has to move out of the root cgroup (strictly speaking the root cgroup is the only one where processes and subgroups are still allowed, but in order to support containers nicey, we move PID 1 into the new scope in all cases.) This new unit is also used on legacy hierarchy setups. It's actually pretty useful on all systems, as it can then be used to filter journal messages coming from PID 1, and so on. The root slice ("-.slice") is now implicitly created and started (and does not require a unit file on disk anymore), since that's where "init.scope" is located and the slice needs to be started before the scope can. To check whether we are in unified or legacy hierarchy mode we use statfs() on /sys/fs/cgroup. If the .f_type field reports tmpfs we are in legacy mode, if it reports cgroupfs we are in unified mode. This patch set carefuly makes sure that cgls and cgtop continue to work as desired. When invoking nspawn as a service it will implicitly create two subcgroups in the cgroup it is using, one to move the nspawn process into, the other to move the actual container processes into. This is done because of the requirement that cgroups may either contain processes or other subgroups.
