README: describe taint flags and how to check them
We should have this somewhere. We talk about versions of things in the README, so it seems as good a place as any.

WARNINGS:
|

WARNINGS and TAINT FLAGS:
|
||||
systemd will warn during early boot if /usr is not already mounted at
|
||||
this point (that means: either located on the same file system as / or
|
||||
already mounted in the initrd). While in systemd itself very little
|
||||
will break if /usr is on a separate, late-mounted partition, many of
|
||||
its dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one form or
|
||||
will break if /usr is on a separate late-mounted partition, many of its
|
||||
dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one form or
|
||||
another. For example, udev rules tend to refer to binaries in /usr,
|
||||
binaries that link to libraries in /usr or binaries that refer to data
|
||||
files in /usr. Since these breakages are not always directly visible,
|
||||
systemd will warn about this, since this kind of file system setup is
|
||||
not really supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
|
||||
|
||||
systemd requires that the /run mount point exists. systemd also
|
||||
requires that /var/run is a symlink to /run.
|
||||
systemd will warn about this. Such setups are not really supported by
|
||||
the basic set of Linux OS components. Taint flag 'split-usr' will be
|
||||
set when this condition is detected.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
systemd requires that the /run mount point exists. systemd also
|
||||
requires that /var/run is a symlink to /run. Taint flag 'var-run-bad'
|
||||
will be set when this condition is detected.
|
||||
|
||||
Systemd will also warn when the cgroup support is unavailable in the
|
||||
kernel (taint flag 'cgroups-missing'), the system is using the old
|
||||
cgroup hierarchy (taint flag 'cgroupsv1'), the hardware clock is
|
||||
running in non-UTC mode (taint flag 'local-hwclock'), the kernel
|
||||
overflow UID or GID are not 65534 (taint flags 'overflowuid-not-65534'
|
||||
and 'overflowgid-not-65534'), the UID or GID range assigned to the
|
||||
running systemd instance covers less than 0…65534 (taint flags
|
||||
'short-uid-range' and 'short-gid-range').
|
||||
|
||||
Taint conditions are logged during boot, but may also be checked at any
|
||||
time with:
|
||||
|
||||
busctl get-property org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager Tainted
|
||||
|
||||
VALGRIND:
|
||||
To run systemd under valgrind, compile with meson option
|
||||
-Dvalgrind=true and have valgrind development headers installed
|
||||
(i.e. valgrind-devel or equivalent). Otherwise, false positives will be
