Add LogRateLimitIntervalSec= and LogRateLimitBurst= options for
services. If provided, these values get passed to the journald
client context, and those values are used in the rate limiting
function in the journal over the the journald.conf values.
Part of #10230
When the root account is locked sulogin will either inform you of
this and not allow you in or if --force is used it will hand
you passwordless root (if using a recent enough version of util-linux).
Not being allowed a shell is ofcourse inconvenient, but at the same
time handing out passwordless root unconditionally is probably not
a good idea everywhere.
This patch thus allows to control which behaviour you want by
setting the SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE environment variable to true
or false to control the behaviour, eg. via adding this to
'systemctl edit rescue.service' (or emergency.service):
[Service]
Environment=SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE=1
Distributions who used locked root accounts and want the passwordless
behaviour could thus simply drop in the override file in
/etc/systemd/system/rescue.service.d/override.conf

For example in a container we'd log:
Oct 17 17:01:10 rawhide systemd[1]: Started Power-Off.
Oct 17 17:01:10 rawhide systemd[1]: Forcibly powering off: unit succeeded
Oct 17 17:01:10 rawhide systemd[1]: Reached target Power-Off.
Oct 17 17:01:10 rawhide systemd[1]: Shutting down.
and on the console we'd write (in red)
[ !! ] Forcibly powering off: unit succeeded
This is not useful in any way, and the fact that we're calling an "emergency action"
is an internal implementation detail. Let's log about c-a-d and the watchdog actions
only.
C.f. 287419c119: 'systemctl exit 42' can be
used to set an exit value and pulls in exit.target, which pulls in systemd-exit.service,
which calls org.fdo.Manager.Exit, which calls method_exit(), which sets the objective
to MANAGER_EXIT. Allow the same to happen through SuccessAction=exit.
v2: update for 'exit' and 'exit-force'
Explicit systemctl calls remain in systemd-halt.service and the system
systemd-exit.service. To convert systemd-halt, we'd need to add
SuccessAction=halt-force. Halting doesn't make much sense, so let's just
leave that is. systemd-exit.service will be converted in the next commit.
The setting is now only looked at when considering an action for a job timeout
or unit start limit. It is ignored for ctrl-alt-del, SuccessAction, SuccessFailure.
v2: turn the parameter into a flag field
v3: rename Options to Flags
Before we would only accept those "system" values, so there wasn't other
chocie. Let's provide backwards compatiblity in case somebody made use of
this functionality in user mode.
v2: use 'exit-force' not 'exit'
v3: use error value in log_syntax
We would accept e.g. FailureAction=reboot-force in user units and then do an
exit in the user manager. Let's be stricter, and define "exit"/"exit-force" as
the only supported actions in user units.
v2:
- rename 'exit' to 'exit-force' and add new 'exit'
- add test for the parsing function
