No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in
vconsole.conf.
The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users
of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these
character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not
any longer.
Rationale:
* it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different
from adding FONT="";
* the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the
upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should
admittedly be fixed in the font itself);
* the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to
use that unless anything else is specified;
* This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and
* We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the
compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).

Previously, if X allocated all 6 TTYs (for multi-session for example) no
getty would be available anymore to guarantee console-based logins.
With the new ReserveVT= switch in logind.conf we can now choose one VT
(6 by default) that will always be subject to autovt-style activation,
i.e. we'll always have a getty on TTY6, and X will never take possession
of it.
This resolves problems with filesystems which do not implement the
aio_write file operation. In this case, the kernel will fall back using
a loop writing technique for each pointer in a received iovec. The
result is strange errors in dmesg such as:
[ 31.855871] elevator: type not found
[ 31.856262] elevator: switch to
[ 31.856262] failed
It does not make sense to implement a synchronous aio_write method for
sysfs as this isn't a real filesystem where a reasonable use case for
using writev exists, nor is there an expectation that tmpfiles will be
used to write more data than can be reasonably written in a single write
syscall.
In addition, some sysfs attrs are currently buggy and will NOT reject
the second write with the newline, causing the sysfs value to be zeroed
out. This of course should be fixed in the kernel regardless of any
wrongdoing in userspace, but this simple change makes us immune to such
a bug.
This change means that we do not write a trailing newline by default, as
the expected use case of 'w' is for sysfs and procfs. In exchange, honor
C-style backslash escapes so that if the newline is really needed, the
user can add it.
Break out the write logic into a separate function and simply use it as
a callback to glob_item.
This allows users to consolidate writes to sysfs with multiple similar
pathnames, e.g.
w /sys/class/block/sd[a-z]/queue/read_ahead_kb - - - - 1024
This splits the JSON output mode into different modes: json and
json-pretty. The former printing one entry per line, the latter showing
JSON objects nicely indented and in multiple lines to make it easier to
read for humans.
After talking to the cgroup kernel folks at LPC we came to the
conclusion that it is probably a good idea to mount all CPU related
resp. all network related cgroup controllers together, both because they
are good defaults for admins and because this might prepare
for eventual kernel cleanups where the ability to mount them separately
is removed.
In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error
does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus
which will not cause restart of a service.
Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified
by SuccessfulExitStatus.
- don't use pivot_root() anymore, just reuse root hierarchy
- first create all mounts, then mark them read-only so that we get the
right behaviour when people want writable mounts inside of
read-only mounts
- don't pass invalid combinations of MS_ constants to the kernel
