I read the addition of the purism laptop keyboard and noticed
that the 60-keyboard.hwdb file could/should have an alphabetical ordering.
I scratched that itch with this commit.
linux/fs.h sys/mount.h, libmount.h and missing.h all include MS_*
definitions.
To avoid problems, only one of linux/fs.h, sys/mount.h and libmount.h
should be included. And missing.h must be included last.
Without this, building systemd may fail with:

Fixes#5387.
I kept the _SYSTEMD_UNIT= example because it is easy to understand and
not very verbose. _SYSTEMD_CGROUP has much longer entries which do not
fit well in the narrow man page. Instead, I added an explanation of what
-u is translated into.
Issue #6673 requests advice on backup strategy. But the right backup strategy
depends on many factors, too many to describe in a man page. So let's just
provide some general information which files are mutable and that it is always
safe to use/copy files.
Closes#6673.
Issue #6499 requests that a mention that those varibles can be set in the
environment is added. But the man page already says that. There isn't much
detail, but a man page does not need to and in this case should not include
all the details. Instead a note is added that those vars can be derived from
$DISPLAY.
Closes#6499.
We're moving towards just SPDX license identifiers, and the boilerplate
is especially annoying in a man page. Also adjust to the smaller indentation
to make the code fit better on a page.
man/.dir-locals is to keep indentation under control.
This makes it much easier to compile and run those examples, c.f. #7578.
v2:
- copy more of .dir-locals.el from the root to man/.dir-locals.el
(I though emacs would inherit from the one in the parent dir, but
it seems it just uses its own broken defaults, including
indent-tabs-mode by default.)
This reverts the mmap parts of f5aeac1439,
but keeps the part which restricts address families which works
correctly.
Unfortunately the MIPS toolchains still do not implement PT_GNU_STACK.
This means that while the commit to restrict mmap on MIPS was "correct",
it had the side effect of causing pthread_create to fail because glibc tries
to allocate an executable stack for new threads in the absense of
PT_GNU_STACK. We should wait until PT_GNU_STACK is implemented in all
the relevant parts of the toolchain (at least gcc and glibc) before
enabling this again.
With this "sudo ./run-integration-tests.sh" should work fully without
exception, even on systems lacking SELinux (in which case that test will
just be skipped)
Currently we add target dependencies while we are loading units. This
can create ordering loops even if configuration doesn't contain any
loop. Take for example following configuration,
$ systemctl get-default
multi-user.target
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/test.service
[Unit]
After=default.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If we encounter such unit file early during manager start-up (e.g. load
queue is dispatched while enumerating devices due to SYSTEMD_WANTS in
udev rules) we would add stub unit default.target and we order it Before
test.service. At the same time we add implicit Before to
multi-user.target. Later we merge two units and we create ordering cycle
in the process.
To fix the issue we will now never add any target dependencies until we
loaded all the unit files and resolved all the aliases.
If a device exposes more than 16 mouse buttons, we run into the BTN_JOYSTICK
range, also labelling it as joystick. And since 774ff9b this results in only
ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK but no ID_INPUT_MOUSE.
Fixes#8460
When we are attempting to create directory somewhere in the bowels of /var/lib
and get an error that it already exists, it can be quite hard to diagnose what
is wrong (especially for a user who is not aware that the directory must have
the specified owner, and permissions not looser than what was requested). Let's
print a warning in most cases. A warning is appropriate, because such state is
usually a sign of borked installation and needs to be resolved by the adminstrator.

No functional change except for the new log lines.
This is similar to TAKE_PTR() but operates on file descriptors, and thus
assigns -1 to the fd parameter after returning it.
Removes 60 lines from our codebase. Pretty good too I think.
This macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
This rearranges chase_symlinks() a bit: if no special flags are
specified it will now revert to behaviour before
b12d25a8d6. However, if the new
CHASE_TRAIL_SLASH flag is specified it will follow the behaviour
introduced by that commit.
I wasn't sure which one to make the beaviour that requires specification
of a flag to enable. I opted to make the "append trailing slash"
behaviour the one to enable by a flag, following the thinking that the
function should primarily be used to generate a normalized path, and I
am pretty sure a path without trailing slash is the more "normalized"
one, as the trailing slash is not really a part of it, but merely a
"decorator" that tells various system calls to generate ENOTDIR if the
path doesn't refer to a path.
Or to say this differently: if the slash was part of normalization then
we really should add it in all cases when the final path is a directory,
not just when the user originally specified it.
