2013-11-22bus: also add error parameter to object find and enumerator callbacksLennart Poettering
Just in order to bring things inline with the method and property callbacks.

2013-09-17logind: implement generic multi-sessionDavid Herrmann
This enables the multi-session capability for seats that don't have VTs. For legacy seats with VTs, everything stays the same. However, all other seats now also get the multi-session capability. The only feature that was missing was session-switching. As logind can force a session-switch and signal that via the "Active" property, we only need a way to allow synchronized/delayed session switches. Compositors need to cleanup some devices before acknowledging the session switch. Therefore, we use the session-devices to give compositors a chance to block a session-switch until they cleaned everything up. If you activate a session on a seat without VTs, we send a PauseDevice signal to the active session for every active device. Only once the session acknowledged all these with a PauseDeviceComplete() call, we perform the final session switch. One important note is that delayed session-switching is meant for backwards compatibility. New compositors or other sessions should really try to deal correctly with forced session switches! They only need to handle EACCES/EPERM from syscalls and treat them as "PauseDevice" signal. Following logind patches will add a timeout to session-switches which forces the switch if the active session does not react in a timely fashion. Moreover, explicit ForceActivate() calls might also be supported. Hence, sessions must not crash if their devices get paused.
2013-09-17logind: extract has_vts() from can_multi_session()David Herrmann
We currently use seat_can_multi_session() to test for two things: * whether the seat can handle session-switching * whether the seat has VTs As both are currently logically equivalent, we didn't care. However, we want to allow session-switching on seats without VTs, so split this helper into: * seat_can_multi_session(): whether session-switching is supported * seat_has_vts(): whether the seat has VTs Note that only one seat on a system can have VTs. There is only one set of them. We automatically assign them to seat0 as usual. With this patch in place, we can easily add new session-switching/tracking methods without breaking any VT code as it is now protected by has_vts(), no longer by can_multi_session().
2013-09-17logind: rename vtconsole to seat0David Herrmann
The seat->vtconsole member always points to the default seat seat0. Even if VTs are disabled, it's used as default seat. Therefore, rename it to seat0 to correctly state what it is. This also changes the seat files in /run from IS_VTCONSOLE to IS_SEAT0. It wasn't used by any code, yet, so this seems fine. While we are at it, we also remove every "if (s->vtconsole)" as this pointer is always valid!
2013-09-17logind: listen actively for session devicesDavid Herrmann
Session compositors need access to fbdev, DRM and evdev devices if they control a session. To make logind pass them to sessions, we need to listen for them actively. However, we avoid creating new seats for non master-of-seat devices. Only once a seat is created, we start remembering all other session devices. If the last master-device is removed (even if there are other non-master devices still available), we destroy the seat. This is the current behavior, but we need to explicitly implement it now as there may be non-master devices in the seat->devices list. Unlike master devices, we don't care whether our list of non-master devices is complete. We don't export this list but use it only as cache if sessions request these devices. Hence, if a session requests a device that is not in the list, we will simply look it up. However, once a session requested a device, we must be notified of "remove" udev events. So we must link the devices somehow into the device-list. Regarding the implementation, we now sort the device list by the "master" flag. This guarantees that master devices are at the front and non-master devices at the tail of the list. Thus, we can easily test whether a seat has a master device attached.
2012-07-19use #pragma once instead of foo*foo #define guardsShawn Landden
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported in other compilers. I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place, almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior alternative exists. I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon. v2 - preserve externally used headers
2012-06-21logind: expose CanGraphical and CanTTY properties on seat objectsLennart Poettering
Since we boot so fast now that gdm might get started before the graphics drivers are properly loaded and probed we might end up announcing seat0 to gdm before it has graphics capabilities. Which will cause gdm/X11 cause to fail later on. To fix this race, let's expose CanGraphical and CanTTY fields on all seats, which clarify whether a seat is suitable for gdm resp, suitable for text logins. gdm then needs to watch CanGraphical and spawn X11 on it only if it is true. This way: USB graphics seats will expose CanGraphical=yes, CanTTY=no Machines with no graphics drivers at all, but a text console: CanGraphical=no, CanTTY=yes Machines with CONFIG_VT turned off: CanGraphical=yes, CanTTY=no And the most important case: seat0 where the graphics driver has not been probed yet boot up with CanGraphical=no, CanTTY=yes first, which then changes to CanGraphical=yes as soon as the probing is complete.
2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
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.
