2014-11-13sd-bus: sync with kdbus upstream (ABI break)Daniel Mack
kdbus has seen a larger update than expected lately, most notably with kdbusfs, a file system to expose the kdbus control files: * Each time a file system of this type is mounted, a new kdbus domain is created. * The layout inside each mount point is the same as before, except that domains are not hierarchically nested anymore. * Domains are therefore also unnamed now. * Unmounting a kdbusfs will automatically also detroy the associated domain. * Hence, the action of creating a kdbus domain is now as privileged as mounting a filesystem. * This way, we can get around creating dev nodes for everything, which is last but not least something that is not limited by 20-bit minor numbers. The kdbus specific bits in nspawn have all been dropped now, as nspawn can rely on the container OS to set up its own kdbus domain, simply by mounting a new instance. A new set of mounts has been added to mount things *after* the kernel modules have been loaded. For now, only kdbus is in this set, which is invoked with mount_setup_late().
2014-10-02sd-bus: use terms from the D-Bus Specification a bit moreSimon McVittie
D-Bus' type hierarchy as described in the spec is: \- basic \- fixed type (u, i, etc.) \- string-like type (s, o, g) \- container Someone seems to have referred to basic types as "simple types" at some point, but that term isn't defined in the D-Bus Specification, and seems redundant. So far I haven't renamed functions that use "trivial" in their names to mean "fixed type", to avoid confusion about whether a struct of constant length, like (iu), is a fixed type. The answer is that it is fixed-length, but is not a "fixed type", so I can see that something like bus_type_is_fixed() might be ambiguous.

2014-01-28bus: rework bloom filter logic to operate with variable bloom filterLennart Poettering
sizes and numbers of hash functions In order to make the bloom filter logic more future proof communicate bloom filter parameters from the original bus creator to the clients, and allow them to be variable within certain ranges.

2014-01-21libsystemd: split up into subdirsTom Gundersen
We still only produce on .so, but let's keep the sources separate to make things a bit less messy.
