c0548df0a2 core: firewall integration with ControlGroupNFTSet=
New directive `ControlGroupNFTSet=` provides a method for integrating services
into firewall rules with NFT sets.

Example:

```
table inet filter {
...
        set timesyncd {
                type cgroupsv2
        }

        chain ntp_output {
                socket cgroupv2 != @timesyncd counter drop
                accept
        }
...
}
```

/etc/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/override.conf
```
[Service]
ControlGroupNFTSet=inet:filter:timesyncd
```

```
$ sudo nft list set inet filter timesyncd
table inet filter {
        set timesyncd {
                type cgroupsv2
                elements = { "system.slice/systemd-timesyncd.service" }
        }
}
```

6f83ea60e9 man: beef up the description of systemd-oomd.service
The gist of the description is moved from systemd.resource-control
to systemd-oomd man page. Cross-references to OOMPolicy, memory.oom.group,
oomctl, ManagedOOMSwap and ManagedOOMMemoryPressure are added in all
places.

The descriptions are also more down-to-earth: instead of talking
about "taking action" let's just say "kill". We *might* add configuration
for different actions in the future, but we're not there yet, so let's
just describe what we do now.

f80a206aa4 socket-bind: use lowercase "ipv4"/"ipv6" spelling
In most of our codebase when we referenced "ipv4" and "ipv6" on the
right-hand-side of an assignment, we lowercases it (on the
left-hand-side we used CamelCase, and thus "IPv4" and "IPv6"). In
particular all across the networkd codebase the various "per-protocol
booleans" use the lower-case spelling. Hence, let's use lower-case for
SocketBindAllow=/SocketBindDeny= too, just make sure things feel like
they belong together better.

(This work is not included in any released version, hence let's fix this
now, before any fixes in this area would be API breakage)

6b000af4f2 tree-wide: avoid some loaded terms
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-knodel-terminology-02
https://lwn.net/Articles/823224/

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:

1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
   our tree (see #7594)

2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
   this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.

3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
   concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
   remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
   it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
   API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
   contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.

Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.

047f5d63d7 cgroup: introduce support for cgroup v2 CPUSET controller
Introduce support for configuring cpus and mems for processes using
cgroup v2 CPUSET controller.  This allows users to limit which cpus
and memory NUMA nodes can be used by processes to better utilize
system resources.

The cgroup v2 interfaces to control it are cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems
where the requested configuration is written.  However, it doesn't mean
that the requested configuration will be actually used as parent cgroup
may limit the cpus or mems as well.  In order to reflect the real
configuration cgroup v2 provides read-only files cpuset.cpus.effective
and cpuset.mems.effective which are exported to users as well.

c52db42b78 cgroup: Implement default propagation of MemoryLow with DefaultMemoryLow
In cgroup v2 we have protection tunables -- currently MemoryLow and
MemoryMin (there will be more in future for other resources, too). The
design of these protection tunables requires not only intermediate
cgroups to propagate protections, but also the units at the leaf of that
resource's operation to accept it (by setting MemoryLow or MemoryMin).

This makes sense from an low-level API design perspective, but it's a
good idea to also have a higher-level abstraction that can, by default,
propagate these resources to children recursively. In this patch, this
happens by having descendants set memory.low to N if their ancestor has
DefaultMemoryLow=N -- assuming they don't set a separate MemoryLow
value.

Any affected unit can opt out of this propagation by manually setting
`MemoryLow` to some value in its unit configuration. A unit can also
stop further propagation by setting `DefaultMemoryLow=` with no
argument. This removes further propagation in the subtree, but has no
effect on the unit itself (for that, use `MemoryLow=0`).

Our use case in production is simplifying the configuration of machines
which heavily rely on memory protection tunables, but currently require
tweaking a huge number of unit files to make that a reality. This
directive makes that significantly less fragile, and decreases the risk
of misconfiguration.

After this patch is merged, I will implement DefaultMemoryMin= using the
same principles.

10f2864111 core: add CPUQuotaPeriodSec=
This new setting allows configuration of CFS period on the CPU cgroup, instead
of using a hardcoded default of 100ms.

Tested:
- Legacy cgroup + Unified cgroup
- systemctl set-property
- systemctl show
- Confirmed that the cgroup settings (such as cpu.cfs_period_ns) were set
  appropriately, including updating the CPU quota (cpu.cfs_quota_ns) when
  CPUQuotaPeriodSec= is updated.
- Checked that clamping works properly when either period or (quota * period)
  are below the resolution of 1ms, or if period is above the max of 1s.

c72703e26d cgroup: Add DisableControllers= directive to disable controller in subtree
Some controllers (like the CPU controller) have a performance cost that
is non-trivial on certain workloads. While this can be mitigated and
improved to an extent, there will for some controllers always be some
overheads associated with the benefits gained from the controller.
Inside Facebook, the fix applied has been to disable the CPU controller
forcibly with `cgroup_disable=cpu` on the kernel command line.

This presents a problem: to disable or reenable the controller, a reboot
is required, but this is quite cumbersome and slow to do for many
thousands of machines, especially machines where disabling/enabling a
stateful service on a machine is a matter of several minutes.

Currently systemd provides some configuration knobs for these in the
form of `[Default]CPUAccounting`, `[Default]MemoryAccounting`, and the
like. The limitation of these is that Default*Accounting is overrideable
by individual services, of which any one could decide to reenable a
controller within the hierarchy at any point just by using a controller
feature implicitly (eg. `CPUWeight`), even if the use of that CPU
feature could just be opportunistic. Since many services are provided by
the distribution, or by upstream teams at a particular organisation,
it's not a sustainable solution to simply try to find and remove
offending directives from these units.

This commit presents a more direct solution -- a DisableControllers=
directive that forcibly disallows a controller from being enabled within
a subtree.

818bf54632 tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurb
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.

hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.

1245e4132b man: use "filename" not "file name" by default
We settled on "filename" and "file system", so change a couple of places for
consistency. The exception is when there's an adjective before "file" that
binds more strongly then "name": "password file name", "output file name", etc.
Those cases are left intact.

c7458f9399 man: avoid abbreviated "cgroups" terminology (#4396)
Let's avoid the overly abbreviated "cgroups" terminology. Let's instead write:

"Linux Control Groups (cgroups)" is the long form wherever the term is
introduced in prose. Use "control groups" in the short form wherever the term
is used within brief explanations.

7d862ab8c2 core: make settings for unified cgroup hierarchy supersede the ones for legacy hierarchy (#4269)
There are overlapping control group resource settings for the unified and
legacy hierarchies.  To help transition, the settings are translated back and
forth.  When both versions of a given setting are present, the one matching the
cgroup hierarchy type in use is used.  Unfortunately, this is more confusing to
use and document than necessary because there is no clear static precedence.

Update the translation logic so that the settings for the unified hierarchy are
always preferred.  systemd.resource-control man page is updated to reflect the
change and reorganized so that the deprecated settings are at the end in its
own section.

66ebf6c0a1 core: add cgroup CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy
Unfortunately, due to the disagreements in the kernel development community,
CPU controller cgroup v2 support has not been merged and enabling it requires
applying two small out-of-tree kernel patches.  The situation is explained in
the following documentation.

 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git/tree/Documentation/cgroup-v2-cpu.txt?h=cgroup-v2-cpu

While it isn't clear what will happen with CPU controller cgroup v2 support,
there are critical features which are possible only on cgroup v2 such as
buffered write control making cgroup v2 essential for a lot of workloads.  This
commit implements systemd CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy so
that users who choose to deploy CPU controller cgroup v2 support can easily
take advantage of it.

On the unified hierarchy, "cpu.weight" knob replaces "cpu.shares" and "cpu.max"
replaces "cpu.cfs_period_us" and "cpu.cfs_quota_us".  [Startup]CPUWeight config
options are added with the usual compat translation.  CPU quota settings remain
unchanged and apply to both legacy and unified hierarchies.

v2: - Error in man page corrected.
    - CPU config application in cgroup_context_apply() refactored.
    - CPU accounting now works on unified hierarchy.

e57c9ce169 core: always use "infinity" for no upper limit instead of "max" (#3417)
Recently added cgroup unified hierarchy support uses "max" in configurations
for no upper limit.  While consistent with what the kernel uses for no upper
limit, it is inconsistent with what systemd uses for other controllers such as
memory or pids.  There's no point in introducing another term.  Update cgroup
unified hierarchy support so that "infinity" is the only term that systemd
uses for no upper limit.

da4d897e75 core: add cgroup memory controller support on the unified hierarchy (#3315)
On the unified hierarchy, memory controller implements three control knobs -
low, high and max which enables more useable and versatile control over memory
usage.  This patch implements support for the three control knobs.

* MemoryLow, MemoryHigh and MemoryMax are added for memory.low, memory.high and
  memory.max, respectively.

* As all absolute limits on the unified hierarchy use "max" for no limit, make
  memory limit parse functions accept "max" in addition to "infinity" and
  document "max" for the new knobs.

* Implement compatibility translation between MemoryMax and MemoryLimit.

v2:

- Fixed missing else's in config_parse_memory_limit().
- Fixed missing newline when writing out drop-ins.
- Coding style updates to use "val > 0" instead of "val".
- Minor updates to documentation.

538b48524c core: translate between IO and BlockIO settings to ease transition
Due to the substantial interface changes in cgroup unified hierarchy, new IO
settings are introduced.  Currently, IO settings apply only to unified
hierarchy and BlockIO to legacy.  While the transition is necessary, it's
painful for users to have to provide configs for both.  This patch implements
translation from one config set to another for configs which make sense.

* The translation takes place during application of the configs.  Users won't
  see IO or BlockIO settings appearing without being explicitly created.

* The translation takes place only if there is no config for the matching
  cgroup hierarchy type at all.

While this doesn't provide comprehensive compatibility, it should considerably
ease transition to the new IO settings which are a superset of BlockIO
settings.

v2:

- Update test-cgroup-mask.c so that it accounts for the fact that
  CGROUP_MASK_IO and CGROUP_MASK_BLKIO move together.  Also, test/parent.slice
  now sets IOWeight instead of BlockIOWeight.

ac06a0cf8a core: add support for IOReadIOPSMax and IOWriteIOPSMax
cgroup IO controller supports maximum limits for both bandwidth and IOPS but
systemd resource control currently only supports bandwidth limits.  This patch
adds support for IOReadIOPSMax and IOWriteIOPSMax when unified cgroup hierarchy
is in use.

It isn't difficult to also add BlockIOReadIOPS and BlockIOWriteIOPS for legacy
hierarchies but IO control on legacy hierarchies is half-broken anyway, so
let's leave it alone for now.

With this change for each setting we say which hierarachy it applies to briefly

pargraph at the end, with a recommendation for the counterpart of the option in
the other hierarchy.

Also adds markup and the "=" suffix to all mentioned settings.

13c31542cc core: add io controller support on the unified hierarchy
On the unified hierarchy, blkio controller is renamed to io and the interface
is changed significantly.

* blkio.weight and blkio.weight_device are consolidated into io.weight which
  uses the standardized weight range [1, 10000] with 100 as the default value.

* blkio.throttle.{read|write}_{bps|iops}_device are consolidated into io.max.
  Expansion of throttling features is being worked on to support
  work-conserving absolute limits (io.low and io.high).

* All stats are consolidated into io.stats.

This patchset adds support for the new interface.  As the interface has been
revamped and new features are expected to be added, it seems best to treat it
as a separate controller rather than trying to expand the blkio settings
although we might add automatic translation if only blkio settings are
specified.

* io.weight handling is mostly identical to blkio.weight[_device] handling
  except that the weight range is different.

* Both read and write bandwidth settings are consolidated into
  CGroupIODeviceLimit which describes all limits applicable to the device.
  This makes it less painful to add new limits.

* "max" can be used to specify the maximum limit which is equivalent to no
  config for max limits and treated as such.  If a given CGroupIODeviceLimit
  doesn't contain any non-default configs, the config struct is discarded once
  the no limit config is applied to cgroup.

* lookup_blkio_device() is renamed to lookup_block_device().

50f48ad37a cgroup: remove support for NetClass= directive
Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive
has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism.
However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls
and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification
for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel
v4.5:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671

As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no
longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over
to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which
obsoletes these controllers anyway.

This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller,
but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.

d53d94743c core: refactor cpu shares/blockio weight cgroup logic
Let's stop using the "unsigned long" type for weights/shares, and let's
just use uint64_t for this, as that's what we expose on the bus.

Unify parsers, and always validate the range for these fields.

Correct the default blockio weight to 500, since that's what the kernel
actually uses.

When parsing the weight/shares settings from unit files accept the empty
string as a way to reset the weight/shares value. When getting it via
the bus, uniformly map (uint64_t) -1 to unset.

Open up StartupCPUShares= and StartupBlockIOWeight= to transient units.

This adds support for the new "pids" cgroup controller of 4.3 kernels.
It allows accounting the number of tasks in a cgroup and enforcing
limits on it.

This adds two new setting TasksAccounting= and TasksMax= to each unit,
as well as a gloabl option DefaultTasksAccounting=.

This also updated "cgtop" to optionally make use of the new
kernel-provided accounting.

systemctl has been updated to show the number of tasks for each service
if it is available.

This patch also adds correct support for undoing memory limits for units
using a MemoryLimit=infinity syntax. We do the same for TasksMax= now
and hence keep things in sync here.
