2013-07-04disable the cgroups release agent when shutting downKay Sievers
During shutdown, when we try to clean up all remaining processes, the kernel will fork new agents every time a cgroup runs empty. These new processes cause delays in the final SIGTERM, SIGKILL logic. Apart from that, this should also avoid that the kernel-forked binaries cause unpredictably timed access to the filesystem which we might need to unmount.
2013-07-01core: add new "scope" unit type for making a unit of pre-existing processesLennart Poettering
"Scope" units are very much like service units, however with the difference that they are created from pre-existing processes, rather than processes that systemd itself forks off. This means they are generated programmatically via the bus API as transient units rather than from static configuration read from disk. Also, they do not provide execution-time parameters, as at the time systemd adds the processes to the scope unit they already exist and the parameters cannot be applied anymore. The primary benefit of this new unit type is to create arbitrary cgroups for worker-processes forked off an existing service. This commit also adds a a new mode to "systemd-run" to run the specified processes in a scope rather then a transient service.
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=).

2013-06-20logind: add infrastructure to keep track of machines, and move to slicesLennart Poettering
- This changes all logind cgroup objects to use slice objects rather than fixed croup locations. - logind can now collect minimal information about running VMs/containers. As fixed cgroup locations can no longer be used we need an entity that keeps track of machine cgroups in whatever slice they might be located. Since logind already keeps track of users, sessions and seats this is a trivial addition. - nspawn will now register with logind and pass various bits of metadata along. A new option "--slice=" has been added to place the container in a specific slice. - loginctl gained commands to list, introspect and terminate machines. - user.slice and machine.slice will now be pulled in by logind.service, since only logind.service requires this slice.
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.

2013-05-02Add __attribute__((const, pure, format)) in various placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I'm assuming that it's fine if a _const_ or _pure_ function calls assert. It is assumed that the assert won't trigger, and even if it does, it can only trigger on the first call with a given set of parameters, and we don't care if the compiler moves the order of calls.

cg_get_machine_path is modified to include the escaped machine name + ".nspawn" if the machine argument is nonnull.

2013-04-22cgroup: make sure all our cgroup objects have a suffix and are properly escapedLennart Poettering
Session objects will now get the .session suffix, user objects the .user suffix, nspawn containers the .nspawn suffix. This also changes the user cgroups to be named after the numeric UID rather than the username, since this allows us the parse these paths standalone without requiring access to the cgroup file system. This also changes the mapping of instanced units to cgroups. Instead of mapping foo@bar.service to the cgroup path /user/foo@.service/bar we will now map it to /user/foo@.service/foo@bar.service, in order to ensure that all our objects are properly suffixed in the tree.
2013-04-16nspawn: introduce the new /machine/ tree in the cgroup tree and move ↵Lennart Poettering
containers there Containers will now carry a label (normally derived from the root directory name, but configurable by the user), and the container's root cgroup is /machine/<label>. This label is called "machine name", and can cover both containers and VMs (as soon as libvirt also makes use of /machine/). libsystemd-login can be used to query the machine name from a process. This patch also includes numerous clean-ups for the cgroup code.
2013-04-15core: always create /user and /machine top-level cgroup dirsLennart Poettering
This allows clients to put inotify watches on these trees to watch for state changes, without having to wait until these dirs are created. This introduces the new top-level /machine cgroup dir as canonical location where OS containers and VMs shall be located (as discussed with the libvirt folks).

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

2012-04-12relicense 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.
