2013-06-27core: general cgroup reworkLennart Poettering
Replace the very generic cgroup hookup with a much simpler one. With this change only the high-level cgroup settings remain, the ability to set arbitrary cgroup attributes is removed, so is support for adding units to arbitrary cgroup controllers or setting arbitrary paths for them (especially paths that are different for the various controllers). This also introduces a new -.slice root slice, that is the parent of system.slice and friends. This enables easy admin configuration of root-level cgrouo properties. This replaces DeviceDeny= by DevicePolicy=, and implicitly adds in /dev/null, /dev/zero and friends if DeviceAllow= is used (unless this is turned off by DevicePolicy=).
2013-06-17core: add new .slice unit type for partitioning systemsLennart Poettering
In order to prepare for the kernel cgroup rework, let's introduce a new unit type to systemd, the "slice". Slices can be arranged in a tree and are useful to partition resources freely and hierarchally by the user. Each service unit can now be assigned to one of these slices, and later on login users and machines may too. Slices translate pretty directly to the cgroup hierarchy, and the various objects can be assigned to any of the slices in the tree.
