* man: add "History" sections for removed settingsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2022-08-231-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | The general idea is that users should be able to figure out if some option that they see in a config file or on some internet page is something that systemd knows about. Once users know that, yes, this was an option but has been deprecated and removed from the documentation, it's much easier for them to find any docs in old versions if they want to. Or to switch to something different.

* pid1: import creds from SMBIOS too, not just qemu's fw_cfgLennart Poettering2022-07-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This imports credentials also via SMBIOS' "OEM vendor string" section, similar to the existing import logic from fw_cfg. Functionality-wise this is very similar to the existing fw_cfg logic, both of which are easily settable on the qemu command line. Pros and cons of each: SMBIOS OEM vendor strings: - pro: fast, because memory mapped - pro: somewhat VMM independent, at least in theory - pro: qemu upstream sees this as the future - pro: no additional kernel module needed - con: strings only, thus binary data is base64 encoded fw_cfg: - pro: has been supported for longer in qemu - pro: supports binary data - con: slow, because IO port based - con: only qemu - con: requires qemu_fw_cfg.ko kernel module - con: qemu upstream sees this as legacy

* manager: reexecute on SIGRTMIN+25, user instances onlyFranck Bui2021-07-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch, there was no way to request all running user instances for reexecuting. However this can be useful especially during package updates otherwise user instances are never updated and keep running a potentially very old version of the binaries. Now assuming that we have enough priviledge, it's possible to request reexecution of all user instances: systemctl kill --signal=SIGRTMIN+25 "user@*.service" Note that this request is obviously asynchronous as it relies on a signal. Keeping "systemctl kill" as the only interface should be good enough to make this obvious and that's the reason why another interface, such as "systemctl --global daemon-reexec" has not been considered. PID1 already uses SIGTERM for reexecuting hence sending it SIGRTMIN+25 is a nop.
* Fixed typo (#20187)nassir902021-07-091-2/+2

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some extra safety when invoked via "sudo". With this we address a genuine design flaw of sudo, and we shouldn't need to deal with this. But it's still a good idea to disable this surface given how exotic it is. Prompted by #5666

* man: add description of org.freedesktop.LogControl1Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-05-051-1/+4
| | | | | | I'm not sure if the LogTarget property is sufficiently general to be made into a property that can be generally implemented. It is very closely tied to the internal systemd logic. The other two seem fine thoough.
* man: sd_notify() race is gone with sd_notify_barrier()Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi2020-04-301-1/+1

Also added is a description about how these variables work, i.e. that a trailing : can be used to prepend paths to the usual set.
* | pid1: add new mode systemd.show-status=error and use it when 'quiet' is passedZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-03-011-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | systemd.show-status=error is useful for the case where people care about errors only. If people want to have a quiet boot, they most likely don't want to see all status output even if there is a delay in boot, so make "quiet" imply systemd.show-status=error instead of systemd.show-status=auto. Fixes #14976.
* | pid1: when showing error status, do not switch to status=temporaryZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-03-011-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | We would flip to status=temporary mode on the first error, and then switch back to status=auto after the initial transaction was done. This isn't very useful, because usually all the messages about successfully started units and not related to the original failure. In fact, all those messages most likely cause the information about the prime error to scroll off screen. And if the user requested quiet boot, there's no reason to think that they care about those success messages. Also, when logging about dependency cycles, treat this similarly to a unit error and show the message even if the status is "soft disabled" (before we wouldn't show it in that case).

* man: significantly downgrade the Options section in systemd(1)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2019-11-151-225/+208
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This structure of the man page originates from the time when systemd was installed on top of sysvinit systems, and users had an actual chance to interact with the systemd binary directly. Nowadays it is almost never called directly, so let's properly explain this in the overview. The Options section is moved down below the kernel command line, those options are only needed in special circumstances. Let's refer the reader to the description of the kernel command line options, and not duplicate the descriptions (which makes the text longer than necessary and increases chances for discrepancies). Systemd is also prominently used as the user manager, let's mention that in the Overview. While at it, use "=" only when an argument is required as we nowadays do.
