MemoryDenyWriteExecution policy could be be bypassed by using pkey_mprotect
instead of mprotect to create an executable writable mapping.
The impact is mitigated by the fact that the man page says "Note that this
feature is fully available on x86-64, and partially on x86", so hopefully
people do not rely on it as a sole security measure.

This makes each system call in SystemCallFilter= blacklist optionally
takes errno name or number after a colon. The errno takes precedence
over the one given by SystemCallErrorNumber=.

It's weird to visit the first "see also", and find that it is what the manpage replaces (and looks very similar). Surely we should remove this link.
This option allows restricting the shown fields in the output modes that
would normally show all fields. It allows clients that are only
interested in a subset of the fields to access those more efficiently.
Also, it makes the resulting size of the output more predictable.
It has no effect on the various `short` output modes, because those
already only show a subset of the fields.
This augments %t which already resolves to the runtime directory root, and
should be useful for units that want to pass any of these paths in
command line arguments.
Example:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mydaemon --datadir=%S/mydaemon
Why not expose a specifier resolving directly to the configured
state/runtime/cache/log dir? Three reasons:
1. Specifiers should be independent of configuration of the unit itself,
and StateDirectory= and friends are unit configuration. See
03fc9c723c and related work.
2. We permit multiple StateDirectory= values per unit, and it hence
wouldn't be clear which one is passed.
3. We already have %t for the runtime directory root, and we should
continue with the same scheme.
This creates a second private resolve.conf file which lists the stub resolver
and the resolved acquired search domains.
This runtime file should be used as a symlink target for /etc/resolv.conf such
that non-nss based applications can resolve search domains.
Fixes: #7009
Explanation:
"Please note the login session may be limited to a stub
process or two. User processes may instead be started from their
systemd user manager, e.g. GUI applications started using DBus
activation, as well as service processes which are shared between
multiple logins of the same user."
The most glaring example being when you run commands from gnome-terminal,
or as you see nowadays, "gnome-terminal-server".
*_get_session() is still currently used (directly or indirectly) by Xorg,
Weston etc. running within the session scope. That setup is perfectly
functional, although code will be more generally useful if it is able to
run outside the session scope.[1]

Re-order the man pages a bit at the same time. This is to avoid having the
first and titular entry introduce the session concept, and then immediately
try and persuade you not to use it :).
remote-cryptsetup-pre.target was designed as an active unit (that pulls in
network-online.target), the opposite of remote-fs-pre.target (a passive unit,
with individual provider services ordering itself before it and pulling it in,
for example iscsi.service and nfs-client.target).
To make remote-cryptsetup-pre.target really work, those services should be
ordered before it too. But this would require updates to all those services,
not just changes from systemd side.
But the requirements for remote-fs-pre.target and remote-cryptset-pre.target
are fairly similar (e.g. iscsi devices can certainly be used for both), so
let's reuse remote-fs-pre.target also for remote cryptsetup units. This loses
a bit of flexibility, but does away with the requirement for various provider
services to know about remote-cryptsetup-pre.target.
Commit 5248e7e1f1
(resolved,nss-myhostname: use _gateway for the gateway) changed how the
gateway is resolved. Reflect the change in documentation.
Close#7084.
We should be careful when talking about "units" and "unit files". The
latter should be the concept on disk, and the former, the loaded version
of it. However, as a single unit file can result in multiple loaded
units (think templates), and a units can also exist with no unit file at
all (think .device units), we should be precise.
As symlinks are created on unit files rather than units (as symlinks are
an fs object, and unit files are too, but units are not), let's say so
here.
This adds "systemd-resolve --reset-server-features" for explicitly
forgetting what we learnt. This might be useful for debugging
purposes, and to force systemd-resolved to restart its learning logic
for all DNS servers.
