This is intended to be used with VSOCK, to notify the hypervisor/VMM, eg on the host:
qemu <...> -smbios type=11,value=io.systemd.credential:vmm.notify_socket=vsock:2:1234 -device vhost-vsock-pci,id=vhost-vsock-pci0,guest-cid=42
(vsock:2:1234 -> send to host on vsock port 1234, default is to send to 0 which is
the hypervisor itself)
Also on the host:
$ socat - VSOCK-LISTEN:1234,socktype=5
READY=1
STATUS=Ready.
Allow sending notifications via AF_VSOCK, so that VMs can communicate
to the hypervisor/VMM that they are finished booting.
Note that if the hypervisor does not support SOCK_DGRAM over AF_VSOCK
(ie: qemu at the time of writing), SOCK_SEQPACKET will be used instead.
Note that this drops ProtectProc=invisible from
systemd-resolved.service.
This is done because othewise access to the booted "kernel" command line is not
necessarily available. That's because in containers we want to read
/proc/1/cmdline for that.

Due to policy checks against system users this cannot currently work, and it is non-obvious.
In the future it might be implemented if support is added to dbus-broker/dbus-daemon, e.g.:
https://github.com/bus1/dbus-broker/issues/259
This renames systemd-boot-system-token.service to
systemd-boot-random-seed.service and conditions it less strictly.
Previously, the job of the service was to write a "system token" EFI
variable if it was missing. It called "bootctl --graceful random-seed"
for that. With this change we condition it more liberally: instead of
calling it only when the "system token" EFI variable isn't set, we call
it whenever a boot loader interface compatible boot loader is used. This
means, previously it was invoked on the first boot only: now it is
invoked at every boot.
This doesn#t change the command that is invoked. That's because
previously already the "bootctl --graceful random-seed" did two things:
set the system token if not set yet *and* refresh the random seed in the
ESP. Previousy we put the focus on the former, now we shift the focus to
the latter.
With this simple change we can replace the logic
f913c784ad added, but from a service that
can run much later and doesn't keep the ESP pinned.
Previously 'systemctl edit' would only operate on
'override.conf', but users may need more than that.
Thus the new option '--drop-in' is added to allow
users to specify the drop-in file name.
Closes#25767
If everything points to the fact that TPM2 should work, but then the
driver fails to initialize we should handle this gracefully and not
cause failing services all over the place.
Fixes: #25700
Often it's useful to add multiple signatures in the signature JSON file
to embedd in a single .pcrsig. (For example, a signature by key X for
boot phase "enter-initrd" and one by key Y for
"enter-initrd:leave-initrd" or so). Make this easy, by adding the
ability to append signatures to a previously generated JSON file.
Define new unit parameter (LogFilterPatterns) to filter logs processed by
journald.
This option is used to store a regular expression which is carried from
PID1 to systemd-journald through a cgroup xattrs:
`user.journald_log_filter_patterns`.
Instead of having Minimize= take a boolean let's allow for two
different ways to enable it. "best" means we want the most minimal
image possible, which currently is only possible for read-only
filesystems but can be extended in the future with bisection
to find the most minimal possible size.
We also add "guess", which is the current behavior, where we
populate once and use the sparse size to make a reasonable guess
on a size that fits all the sources without needing to O(log(n))
tries to find the most minimal size.
EINVAL suggests that the caller passes an invalid argument. EIO is
for "input/output error", i.e. the error you'd get if the disk or
file system is borked, and this error code could be returned by the
underlying read/write functions.
Let's make the functions return an unambiguous error code.
During the call today we agreed to work towards -rc1 in January. Nevertheless,
I already started writing this up and I'll push it so it doesn't get lost.
I didn't include all the changes to systemd-repart, because those are still in
flux.
Reloading is a heavy-weight operation, and currently it is not
possible to stop an orchestrator from spamming reload requests.
Add configuration options to allow rate-limiting.
One had to read to the very end of the long description to notice that
the setting is actually primarily intended for oomd. So let's mention oomd
right at the beginning.
And drop to mention sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific() may return -ENOENT
or -ENOMEDIUM. The function does not read /etc/machine-id. But reads a
file in the procfs, which is a kind of the kernel API. Hence the
failures are caused only when the system has wrong setup.
So, i think "erofs" is probably the better, more modern alternative to
"squashfs". Many of the benefits don't matter too much to us I guess,
but there's one thing that stands out: erofs has a UUID in the
superblock, squashfs has not. Having an UUID in the superblock matters
if the file systems are used in an overlayfs stack, as overlayfs uses
the UUIDs to robustly and persistently reference inodes on layers in
case of metadata copy-up.
Since we probably want to allow such uses in overlayfs as emplyoed by
sysext (and the future syscfg) we probably should ramp up our erofs game
early on. Hence let's natively support erofs, test it, and in fact
mention it in the docs before squashfs even.
If given, multiple initrds are concatenated into a temporary file which then
becomes the .initrd section.
It is also possible to give no initrd. After all, some machines boot without an
initrd, and it should be possible to use the stub without requiring an initrd.
(The stub might not like this, but this is something to fix there.)
Systemd documents "halt" as the primary shutdown mechanism, redirecting
"reboot" and "shutdown" to the halt(8), but halt is a really strange and
obsolete concept. Who would want to really keep their machine running after
shutdown? I expect that halting is almost unused. Let's at least make it less
prominent in the docs.
While at it, use "power off" for a verb and "power-off" for noun (but "poweroff"
of the actual command name).
