We don't need two (and half) templating systems anymore, yay!
I'm keeping the changes minimal, to make the diff manageable. Some enhancements
due to a better templating system might be possible in the future.

Old meson fails with:
Element not a string: [<Holder: <ExternalProgram 'sh' -> ['/bin/sh']>>, '-c', 'test -n "$DESTDIR" || /bin/journalctl --update-catalog']
I'm doing it as a revert so that it's easy to undo the revert when we require
newer meson. The effect is not so bad, maybe a dozen or so lines about finding
'sh'.

Let's suffer one message only for each command. Hopefully we can silence
even this when https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/8642 is
resolved.
This changes the fstab-generator to handle mounting of /usr/ a bit
differently than before. Instead of immediately mounting the fs to
/sysroot/usr/ we'll first mount it to /sysusr/usr/ and then add a
separate bind mount that mounts it from /sysusr/usr/ to /sysroot/usr/.
This way we can access /usr independently of the root fs, without for
waiting to be mounted via the /sysusr/ hierarchy. This is useful for
invoking systemd-repart while a root fs doesn't exist yet and for
creating it, with partition data read from the /usr/ hierarchy.
This introduces a new generic target initrd-usr-fs.target that may be
used to generically order services against /sysusr/ to become available.
We'll leave this as opt-in (i.e. a unit that must be enabled
explicitly), since this is supposed to be a debug/developer feature
primarily, and thus no be around in regular production systems.
This adds the support for veritytab.
The veritytab file contains at most five fields, the first four are
mandatory, the last one is optional:
- The first field contains the name of the resulting verity volume; its
block device is set up /dev/mapper/</filename>.
- The second field contains a path to the underlying block data device,
or a specification of a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID.
- The third field contains a path to the underlying block hash device,
or a specification of a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID.
- The fourth field is the roothash in hexadecimal.
- The fifth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of options.
The following options are recognized only: ignore-corruption,
restart-on-corruption, panic-on-corruption, ignore-zero-blocks,
check-at-most-once and root-hash-signature. The others options will
be implemented later.
Also, this adds support for the new kernel verity command line boolean
option "veritytab" which enables the read for veritytab, and the new
environment variable SYSTEMD_VERITYTAB which sets the path to the file
veritytab to read.
Instead of invoking meson-add-wants.sh once for each wants that has
to be added, we pass all wants to a single invocation of
meson-add-wants.sh and in meson-add-wants.sh, loop over the
arguments.
This saves about 300ms on the install step.

the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless

[zjs: Replaces #17149.
I took half of the patch in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17149#issuecomment-698399194,
hence I'm keeping Jonathan's authorship.
The original reasoning for 6c5496c492 was that we
enable remote-cryptsetup.target via presets, and since presets are not used for
the initrd, we need a different target. But since parts of the unit and target
tree are shared between the initramfs and the main system, we can't just create
a separate target for the initramfs. All the targets that depend on this one
would need to be split also. That condition is true for initrd-fs.target, but
not for sysinit.target.
So let's instead just uncoditionally pull in remote-cryptsetup.target in the
initramfs. It should normally be empty, so there should be no impact on boots
that don't have units in the target.
Jonathan's patch used initrd-root-fs.target, this version instead uses
initrd-root-device.target. initrd-root-device.target is ordered before
sysroot.mount, which means that the decrypted devices will be available earlier
too.]
This reverts commit 6c5496c492.
sysinit.target is shared between the initrd and the host system. Pulling in
initrd-cryptsetup.target into sysinit.target causes the following warning at
boot:
Oct 27 10:42:30 workstation-uefi systemd[1]: initrd-cryptsetup.target: Starting requested but asserts failed.
Oct 27 10:42:30 workstation-uefi systemd[1]: Assertion failed for initrd-cryptsetup.target.
For encrypted block devices that we need to unlock from the initramfs,
we currently rely on dracut shipping `cryptsetup.target`. This works,
but doesn't cover the case where the encrypted block device requires
networking (i.e. the `remote-cryptsetup.target` version). That target
however is traditionally dynamically enabled.
Instead, let's rework things here by adding a `initrd-cryptsetup.target`
specifically for initramfs encrypted block device setup. This plays the
role of both `cryptsetup.target` and `remote-cryptsetup.target` in the
initramfs.
Then, adapt `systemd-cryptsetup-generator` to hook all generated
services to this new unit when running from the initrd. This is
analogous to `systemd-fstab-generator` hooking all mounts to
`initrd-fs.target`, regardless of whether they're network-backed or not.
Add a new target for synchronizing units that wish to run once during
the first boot of the system. The machine-id will be committed to disk
only after the target has been reached, thus ensuring that all units
ordered before it had a chance to complete.
Let's explicitly deactivate all home dirs on shutdown, in order to
properly synchronizing unmounting and avoiding blocking devices.
Previously, we'd rely on automatic deactivation when home directories
become unused. However, that scheme is asynchronous, and ongoing
deactviations might conflicts with attempts to unmount /home. Let's fix
that by providing an explicit service systemd-homed-activate.service
whose only job is to have a ExecStop= line that explicitly deactivates
all home directories on shutdown. This service can the be ordered after
home.mount and similar, ensuring that we'll first deactivate all homes
before deactivating /home itself during shutdown.
This is kept separate from systemd-homed.service so that it is possible
to restart systemd-homed.service without deactivating all home
directories.
Fixes: #16842
This reverts commit 7e1ed1f3b2.
systemd-repart is not a user service that should be something people
enable/disable, instead it should just work if there's configuration for
it. It's like systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-sysusers, systemd-load-modules,
systemd-binfmt, systemd-systemd-sysctl which are NOPs if they have no
configuration, and thus don't hurt, but cannot be disabled since they
are too deep part of the OS.
This doesn't mean people couldn't disable the service if they really
want to, there's after all "systemctl mask" and build-time disabling,
but those are OS developer facing instead of admin facing, that's how it
should be.
Note that systemd-repart is in particular an initrd service, and so far
enable/disable state of those is not managed anyway via "systemctl
enable/disable" but more what dracut decides to package up and what not.
It's lightweight and generally useful, so it should be enabled by default. But
users might want to disable it for whatever reason, and things should be fine
without it, so let's make it installable so it can be disabled if wanted.
Fixes#15175.
This essentially adds another layer of configurability:
build disable, this, presence of configuration. The default is
set to enabled, because the service does nothing w/o config.
Kernel 4.1 separated the tracing system from the debugfs,
actual documentation already points to a different path
that needs this new mount to exist.
the old sysfs path will still be an automount in the debugfs,
created by the kernel (for now).

If we have exit on idle, then operations such as "journalctl
--namespace=foo --rotate" should work even if the journal daemon is
currently not running.
(Note that we don't do activation by varlink for the main instance of
journald, I am not sure the deadlocks it might introduce are worth it)
This makes things a bit simpler and the build a bit faster, because we don't
have to rewrite files to do the trivial substitution. @rootbindir@ is always in
our internal $PATH that we use for non-absolute paths, so there should be no
functional change.
Devices referred to by `DeviceAllow=` sandboxing are resolved into their
corresponding major numbers when the unit is loaded by looking at
`/proc/devices`. If a reference is made to a device which is not yet
available, the `DeviceAllow` is ignored and the unit's processes cannot
access that device.
In both logind and nspawn, we have `DeviceAllow=` lines, and `modprobe`
in `ExecStartPre=` to load some kernel modules. Those kernel modules
cause device nodes to become available when they are loaded: the device
nodes may not exist when the unit itself is loaded. This means that the
unit's processes will not be able to access the device since the
`DeviceAllow=` will have been resolved earlier and denied it.
One way to fix this would be to re-evaluate the available devices and
re-apply the policy to the cgroup, but this cannot work atomically on
cgroupsv1. So we fall back to a second approach: instead of running
`modprobe` via `ExecStartPre`, we move this out to a separate unit and
order it before the units which want the module.
Closes#14322.
Fixes: #13943.
This reverts commit 07125d24ee.
In contrast to what is claimed in #13396 dbus-broker apparently does
care for the service file to be around, and otherwise will claim
"Service Not Activatable" in the time between systemd starting up the
broker and connecting to it, which the stub service file is supposed to
make go away.
Reverting this makes the integration test suite pass again on host with
dbus-broker (i.e. current Fedora desktop).
Tested with dbus-broker-21-6.fc31.x86_64.
This option is an indication for PID1 that the entry in crypttab is handled by
initrd only and therefore it shouldn't interfer during the usual start-up and
shutdown process.
It should be primarily used with the encrypted device containing the root FS as
we want to keep it (and thus its encrypted device) until the very end of the
shutdown process, i.e. when initrd takes over.
This option is the counterpart of "x-initrd.mount" used in fstab.
Note that the slice containing the cryptsetup services also needs to drop the
usual shutdown dependencies as it's required by the cryptsetup services.
Fixes: #14224
This fixes the following problem:
> At the very end of the boot, just after the first user logs in
> (usually using sddm / X) I get the following messages in my logs:
> Nov 18 07:02:33 samd dbus-daemon[2879]: [session uid=1000 pid=2877] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
> Nov 18 07:02:33 samd dbus-daemon[2879]: [session uid=1000 pid=2877] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
These messages are caused by the "stub" service files that systemd
installs. It installed them because early versions of systemd activation
required them to exist.
Since dbus 1.11.0, a dbus-daemon that is run with --systemd-activation
automatically assumes that o.fd.systemd1 is an activatable
service. As a result, with a new enough dbus version,
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service and
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service should
become unnecessary, and they can be removed.
dbus 1.11.0 was released 2015-12-02.
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=914015
This patch introduces the systemd pstore service which will archive the
contents of the Linux persistent storage filesystem, pstore, to other storage,
thus preserving the existing information contained in the pstore, and clearing
pstore storage for future error events.
Linux provides a persistent storage file system, pstore[1], that can store
error records when the kernel dies (or reboots or powers-off). These records in
turn can be referenced to debug kernel problems (currently the kernel stuffs
the tail of the dmesg, which also contains a stack backtrace, into pstore).
The pstore file system supports a variety of backends that map onto persistent
storage, such as the ACPI ERST[2, Section 18.5 Error Serialization] and UEFI
variables[3 Appendix N Common Platform Error Record]. The pstore backends
typically offer a relatively small amount of persistent storage, e.g. 64KiB,
which can quickly fill up and thus prevent subsequent kernel crashes from
recording errors. Thus there is a need to monitor and extract the pstore
contents so that future kernel problems can also record information in the
pstore.
The pstore service is independent of the kdump service. In cloud environments
specifically, host and guest filesystems are on remote filesystems (eg. iSCSI
or NFS), thus kdump relies [implicitly and/or explicitly] upon proper operation
of networking software *and* hardware *and* infrastructure. Thus it may not be
possible to capture a kernel coredump to a file since writes over the network
may not be possible.
The pstore backend, on the other hand, is completely local and provides a path
to store error records which will survive a reboot and aid in post-mortem
debugging.
Usage Notes:
This tool moves files from /sys/fs/pstore into /var/lib/systemd/pstore.
To enable kernel recording of error records into pstore, one must either pass
crash_kexec_post_notifiers[4] to the kernel command line or enable via 'echo Y
> /sys/module/kernel/parameters/crash_kexec_post_notifiers'. This option
invokes the recording of errors into pstore *before* an attempt to kexec/kdump
on a kernel crash.
Optionally, to record reboots and shutdowns in the pstore, one can either pass
the printk.always_kmsg_dump[4] to the kernel command line or enable via 'echo Y >
/sys/module/printk/parameters/always_kmsg_dump'. This option enables code on the
shutdown path to record information via pstore.
This pstore service is a oneshot service. When run, the service invokes
systemd-pstore which is a tool that performs the following:
- reads the pstore.conf configuration file
- collects the lists of files in the pstore (eg. /sys/fs/pstore)
- for certain file types (eg. dmesg) a handler is invoked
- for all other files, the file is moved from pstore
- In the case of dmesg handler, final processing occurs as such:
- files processed in reverse lexigraphical order to faciliate
reconstruction of original dmesg
- the filename is examined to determine which dmesg it is a part
- the file is appended to the reconstructed dmesg
For example, the following pstore contents:
root@vm356:~# ls -al /sys/fs/pstore

Configuration file:
The pstore.conf configuration file has four settings, described below.
- Storage : one of "none", "external", or "journal". With "none", this
tool leaves the contents of pstore untouched. With "external", the
contents of the pstore are moved into the /var/lib/systemd/pstore,
as well as logged into the journal. With "journal", the contents of
the pstore are recorded only in the systemd journal. The default is
"external".
- Unlink : is a boolean. When "true", the default, then files in the
pstore are removed once processed. When "false", processing of the
pstore occurs normally, but the pstore files remain.

time-sync.target is supposed to indicate system clock is synchronized
with a remote clock, but as used through 241 it only provided a system
clock that was updated based on a locally-maintained timestamp. Systems
that are powered off for extended periods would not come up with
accurate time.
Retain the existing behavior using a new time-set.target leaving
time-sync.target for cases where accuracy is required.
Closes#8861
This patch was initially prompted by a report on a Fedora update [1], that the
upgrade causes systemd-resolved.service and systemd-networkd.service to be
re-enabled. We generally want to preserve the enablement of all services during
upgrades, so a reset like this is not expected.
Both services declare two symlinks in their [Install] sections, for their dbus
names and for multi-user.target.wants/. It turns out that both services were
only partially enabled, because their dbus unit symlinks
/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.{resolve1,network1}.service were
created, by the symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ were
not. This means that the units could be activated by dbus, but not in usual
fashion using systemctl start. Our tools make it rather hard to figure out when
something like this happens, and it is definitely an area for improvement on its
own. The symlink in .wants/ was filtered out by during packaging, but the dbus
symlink was left in (I assume by mistake).
Let's simplify things by not creating the symlinks statically during 'ninja
install'. This means that the units shipped by systemd have to be enabled in
the usual fashion, which in turns means that [Install] section and presets
become the "single source of truth" and we don't have two sets of conflicting
configuration.
Let's consider a few cases:
- developer: a developer installs systemd from git on a running system, and they
don't want the installation to reset enablement of anything. So this change is
either positive for them, or has no effect (if they have everything at
defaults).
- package creation: we want to create symlinks using 'preset-all' and 'preset'
on upgraded packages, we don't want to have any static symlinks. This change
will remove the need to filter out symlinks in packaging and of course fix
the original report.
- installation of systemd from scratch: this change means that without
'preset-all' the system will not be functional. This case could be affected
negatively by this change, but I think it's enough of a corner case to accept
this. In practice I expect people to build a package, not installl directly
into the file system, so this might not even matter in practice.
Creating those symlinks was probably the right thing in the beginning, but
nowadays the preset system is very well established and people expect it to
be honoured. Ignoring the presets and doing static configuration is not welcome
anymore.
Note: during package installation, either 'preset-all' or 'preset getty@.service
machines.target remote-cryptsetup.target remote-fs.target
systemd-networkd.service systemd-resolved.service
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service systemd-timesyncd.service' should be called.
