This is a magic string, and we should avoid stepping into the territory
of normal keymap names with that, given that users can pick names
otherwise freely.
Hence, prefix the name with a special char to avoid any namespace
issues.
Follow-up for: #28660
This is a follow-up for #28596.
I think the suggestion to use Type=exec uses too strong wording:
Type=exec has non-trivial drawbacks over Type=simple, and they deserve
to be mentioned.
Hence drop the <emphasis> and turn this around so that Type=exec is
*recommended*, but Type=simple is not expressly discouraged, because
there are plenty reasons to use it.
Add a brief discussion where Type=simple might be preferable.
Also, fix the outright unruth that Type=exec was the "simplest and
fastest", because it certainly is a lot, but not that.
But the directories are changed from /dev/loop/by-ref/ -> /dev/disk/by-loop-ref/
and /dev/loop/by-inode/ -> /dev/disk/by-loop-inode/.
As /dev/loop/ is used by losetup command for other purpose.
See issue #28475.
This effectively reverts commits 9915cc6086,
5022fab15f, and
c0d998248e.
The command is deprecated, as per NEWS of 254. Let's go one step further
and remove it from the help text and man page, so that people are not
inspired to use it at this time anymore.
This is how we usually have done this before: remove it from visibility,
but support it for a while still.
The previous commit extended the accepted format of --tpm2-pcrs to allow
specifying the hash algorithm (i.e. PCR bank) and hash digest value, this
updates the man page with those changes.
--copy-from synthesizes partition definitions from the given image
which are then applied to the repart algorithm. In its most basic
form, this allows copying an image to another device but it can
also be combined with --definitions to copy + add partitions in the
same call to repart.
--oem can be used to only install OEM partitions (usr, verity,
verity-sig, ...). OEM= is used to indicate OEM partitions. If unset,
defaults to !FactoryReset. We also add a credential repart.oem to
allow configuring --oem via a credential.
Let's allow the combination of these two options. When used, repart
will first try to apply the CopyBlocks= behavior. If that's not possible,
it falls back to the CopyFiles= behavior.
This is a first step in being able to also use the partition definition
files shipped in the image to build the image in mkosi instead of having
a separate set of repart definition files to build the image.
The descriptions of various options are reworked: first say what protocol
actually is, i.e. describe what type of notification the manager waits
for. Only after that describe various steps and things the service should
do. Also, apply some paragraph breaks.
Instead of recommending Type=simple, recommend Type=exec. Say explicitly that
Type=simple, Type=forking are not recommended. Type=simple ignores failure in a
way that doesn't make any sense except as a historical accident. We introduced
'exec' instead of changing 'simple' to keep backwards-compatiblity, but
'simple' is not very useful. 'forking' works, but is inefficient: correctly
programming the interface requires a lot of work, and at runtime, the
additional one or two forks are just a waste of CPU resources. Furthermore, we
now understand that because of COW traps, they may also increase memory
requirements. There is really no reason to use 'forking', except if it's
already implemented and the code cannot be changed to use 'notify'.
Also, remove the recommendations to use Type=simple to avoid delaying boot. In
most cases, if the service can support notifications about startup, those
should be done.
Overall, for new services, "notify", "notify-reload", and "dbus" are the
types that make sense.
RFC4861 Neighbor Discovery – Sections 4.2 and 6.3.4
From section 4.2. Router Advertisement Message Format:
Cur Hop Limit 8-bit unsigned integer. The default value that
should be placed in the Hop Count field of the IP
header for outgoing IP packets. A value of zero
means unspecified (by this router).
Previously, mounts specified in systemd.mount-extra= are equally handled
both in initrd and the main system. So, the mounts for the main system
are also mounted in initrd.
This introduces rd.systemd.mount-extra=, which specifies mounts in initrd.
Then, mounts specified in systemd.mount-extra= are still mounted both in
initrd and the main system, but prefixed with /sysroot/ when running in
initrd.
Fixes#28516.
As it says on the tin, configures the unit to survive a soft reboot.
Currently all the following options have to be set by hand:
Conflicts=reboot.target kexec.target poweroff.target halt.target
Before=reboot.target kexec.target poweroff.target halt.target
After=sysinit.target basic.target
DefaultDependencies=no
IgnoreOnIsolate=yes
This is not very user friendly. If new default dependencies are added,
or new shutdown/reboot types, they also have to be added manually.
The new option is much simpler, easy to find, and does the right thing
by default.
The intention was to have this option enabled by default everywhere,
but unfortunately at least one case was found where it breaks
compatibility of a program using systemd-run --scopes and expecting
variables not to be expanded:
https://sources.debian.org/src/pbuilder/0.231/pbuilder-checkparams/#L400
Example run:
systemd-run --quiet --scope --description=pbuilder_build_xfce4-notes-plugin_1.10.0-1.dsc '--slice=system-pbuilder-build-xfce4\x2dnotes\x2dplugin_1.10.0\x2d1-449932.slice' chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/build/449932 dpkg-query -W '--showformat=${Version}' apt
Restore backward compatibility and make the option disabled by default
when --scope is used, and enabled by default for other types.
In case --expand-environment is not specified and a '$' character is
detected, print a warning to nudge users toward specifying the
parameter as needed. In the future we can then flip the default.
Follow-up for 2ed7a221fa
Currently for portable services we automatically add a bind mount
os-release -> /run/host/os-release. This becomes problematic for the
soft-reboot case, as it's likely that portable services will be configured
to survive it, and thus would forever keep a reference to the old host's
os-release, which would be a problem because it becomes outdated, and also
it stops the old rootfs from being garbage collected.
Create a copy when the manager starts under /run/systemd/propagate instead,
and bind mount that for all services using RootDirectory=/RootImage=, so
that on soft-reboot the content gets updated (without creating a new file,
so the existing bind mounts will see the new content too).
This expands the /run/host/os-release protocol to more services, but I
think that's a nice thing to have too.
