This updates the man page for the changes introduced in 1d84ad9445.
"=" is kep if the option is predominantly used with an argument, and dropped
otherwise.
v2:
- update also description of log_color
- drop '=' in all cases where it is optional
(previous rule of dropping it only in some cases was just too arbitrary.)
This adds a generator and a small service that will look for "roothash="
on the kernel command line and use it for setting up a very partition
for the root device.
This provides similar functionality to nspawn's existing --roothash=
switch.
This adds support for a new kernel command line option "systemd.volatile=" that
provides the same functionality that systemd-nspawn's --volatile= switch
provides, but for host systems (i.e. systems booting with a kernel).
It takes the same parameter and has the same effect.
In order to implement systemd.volatile=yes a new service
systemd-volatile-root.service is introduced that only runs in the initrd and
rearranges the root directory as needed to become a tmpfs instance. Note that
systemd.volatile=state is implemented different: it simply generates a
var.mount unit file that is part of the normal boot and has no effect on the
initrd execution.
The way this is implemented ensures that other explicit configuration for /var
can always override the effect of these options. Specifically, the var.mount
unit is generated in the "late" generator directory, so that it only is in
effect if nothing else overrides it.
This improves kernel command line parsing in a number of ways:
a) An kernel option "foo_bar=xyz" is now considered equivalent to
"foo-bar-xyz", i.e. when comparing kernel command line option names "-" and
"_" are now considered equivalent (this only applies to the option names
though, not the option values!). Most of our kernel options used "-" as word
separator in kernel command line options so far, but some used "_". With
this change, which was a source of confusion for users (well, at least of
one user: myself, I just couldn't remember that it's systemd.debug-shell,
not systemd.debug_shell). Considering both as equivalent is inspired how
modern kernel module loading normalizes all kernel module names to use
underscores now too.
b) All options previously using a dash for separating words in kernel command
line options now use an underscore instead, in all documentation and in
code. Since a) has been implemented this should not create any compatibility
problems, but normalizes our documentation and our code.
c) All kernel command line options which take booleans (or are boolean-like)
have been reworked so that "foobar" (without argument) is now equivalent to
"foobar=1" (but not "foobar=0"), thus normalizing the handling of our
boolean arguments. Specifically this means systemd.debug-shell and
systemd_debug_shell=1 are now entirely equivalent.
d) All kernel command line options which take an argument, and where no
argument is specified will now result in a log message. e.g. passing just
"systemd.unit" will no result in a complain that it needs an argument. This
is implemented in the proc_cmdline_missing_value() function.
e) There's now a call proc_cmdline_get_bool() similar to proc_cmdline_get_key()
that parses booleans (following the logic explained in c).
f) The proc_cmdline_parse() call's boolean argument has been replaced by a new
flags argument that takes a common set of bits with proc_cmdline_get_key().
g) All kernel command line APIs now begin with the same "proc_cmdline_" prefix.
h) There are now tests for much of this. Yay!
They were outdated, and this way it's less likely that they'll get out of sync
again. Anyway, it's easier for the reader to have the kernel and config file
options next to one another.
Allow for overriding all other machine-ids which may be present on
the system using a kernel command line systemd.machine_id or
--machine-id= option.
This is especially useful for network booted systems where the
machine-id needs to be static, or for containers where a specific
machine-id is wanted.
This introduces a new systemd.crash_reboot=1 kernel command line option
that triggers a reboot after crashing.
This also cleans up crash VT handling. Specifically, it cleans up the
configuration setting, to be between 1..63 or a boolean. This is to
replace the previous logic where "-1" meant disabled. We continue to
accept that setting, but only document the boolean syntax instead.
This also brings the documentation of the default settings in sync with
what actually happens.
The CrashChVT= configuration file setting is renamed to CrashChangeVT=,
following our usual logic of not abbreviating unnecessarily. The old
setting stays support for compat reasons.
Fixes#1300
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.
* by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
could ship this.
* this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
we could ship with this patch.
* we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
probably question if it makes sense at all.
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.
Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.
This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220
The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html
This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.
These will be handled separately by follow up patches.
Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
/usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.
hibernate-resume-generator understands resume= kernel command line parameter
and instantiates the systemd-resume@.service accordingly if it is passed.
This enables resume from hibernation using device specified on the kernel
command line, and it may be specified either as "/dev/disk/by-foo/bar"
or "FOO=bar", not only "/dev/sdXY" which is understood by the in-kernel
implementation.
So now resume= is brought on par with root= in terms of possible ways to
specify a device.
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.
Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.
In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.
By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.
The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.
Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.
Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
Some unattended systems do not have a console attached and entering
the default rescue mode will not be too helpful. Allow to specify
the "-y" option to attempt to fix all filesystem errors.
Manually verified by downloading an image.gz of e2fsprogs, using
losetup and running systemd-fsck on the loop device and varying
the fsck.repair=preen|yes|no option.
This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in
users (like wall).
Two options are added:
* ForwardToWall (default yes)
* MaxLevelWall (default emerg)
'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option
'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'.
This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending
emergency messages to all logged in users.
When set to 0 this will stop tools like the backlight and rfkill tools to
restore state from previous boot. This is useful in case the stored state
is bogus to the extent that it is preventing you from resetting it (e.g.,
the backlight settings cause the screen to be off on boot on a system where
the backlight can not be adjusted directly from the keyboard).
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.
Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.
The rule is that units that encapsulate our own code are prefixed with
"systemd-". Since the fsck units invoke our own code, hence add the
missing prefix. Since a long long time the fsck units didn't invoke the
naked fsck binaries anymore, and it is unlikely that this well ever
change. On the opposite: the code in systemd-fsck will probably get more
complex over time to handle fsck progress to plymouth forwarding.
Same for quotacheck (but not quotaon!)
