Before, journald would remove journal files until both MaxUse= and
KeepFree= settings would be satisfied. The first one depends (if set
automatically) on the size of the file system and is constant. But
the second one depends on current use of the file system, and a spike
in disk usage would cause journald to delete journal files, trying to
reach usage which would leave 15% of the disk free. This behaviour is
surprising for the user who doesn't expect his logs to be purged when
disk usage goes above 85%, which on a large disk could be some
gigabytes from being full. In addition attempting to keep 15% free
provides an attack vector where filling the disk sufficiently disposes
of almost all logs.
Instead, obey KeepFree= only as a limit on adding additional files.
When replacing old files with new, ignore KeepFree=. This means that
if journal disk usage reached some high point that at some later point
start to violate the KeepFree= constraint, journald will not add files
to go above this point, but it will stay (slightly) below it. When
journald is restarted, it forgets the previous maximum usage value,
and sets the limit based on the current usage, so if disk remains to
be filled, journald might use one journal-file-size less on each
restart, if restarts happen just after rotation. This seems like a
reasonable compromise between implementation complexity and robustness.

* Introduce a macro to conditionally execute tests. This avoids
skipping the entire test if some parts require systemd
* Skip the journal tests when no /etc/machine-id is present
* Change test-catalog to load the catalog from the source directory
of systemd.
* /proc/PID/comm got introduced in v2.6.33 but travis is still
using v2.6.32.
* Enable make check and make distcheck on the travis build
* Use -D"CATALOG_DIR=STR($(abs_top_srcdir)/catalog)" as a STRINGIY
would result in the path '/home/ich/source/linux' to be expanded
to '/home/ich/source/1' as linux is defined to 1.

The headers are currently not printed properly: some "(null)"s appear.

entries of the journal
The new 'unique' API allows listing all unique field values that a field
specified by a field name can take in all entries of the journal. This
allows answering queries such as "What units logged to the journal?",
"What hosts have logged into the journal?", "Which boot IDs have logged
into the journal?".
Ultimately this allows implementation of tools similar to lastlog based
on journal data.
Note that listing these field values will not work for journal files
created with older journald, as the field values are not indexed in
older files.

This also enables time-based rotation (but not vacuuming) after 1month,
so that not more one month of journal is lost at a time per vacuuming.

instead of having one simple per-file cache implement an more
comprehensive one that works for multiple files and can actually
maintain multiple maps per file and per object type.

This adds forward-secure authentication of journal files. This patch
includes key generation as well as tagging of journal files,
Verification of journal files will be added in a later patch.

Not everybody has /tmp on tmpfs, and this was breaking 'make check'.

The default of 2047 hash table entries turned out to result in way too
many collisions for bigger files, hence scale the hash table size by the
estimated maximum file size.

We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
