755fdfffa0 README: mention fq_codel
In 2014, systemd started choosing fq_codel as the default_qdisc in order to fight internet bufferbloat.

e6c253e363
fa98c99ea7

While the subsequent change made this change no longer trigger warnings if fq_codel wasn't present, it is still recommended to have this enabled.  Add the necessary kernel configuration to the documentation.

4e71714bca README: bump the gcc baseline to 8.4
We already use __VA_OPT__ in multiple places, which was introduced in
gcc 8 [0], so let's bump the baseline to reflect that. I chose gcc 8.4,
as that was the lowest 8.x version I could easily get my hands on when I
verified this (on Ubuntu Focal with the gcc-8 package).

Closes: #31191

02e9308751 docs: excorcise NIS from nsswitch.conf
Let's replace the "compat" module in our proposed nsswitch.conf
configuration with "files", since it is not 1995 anymore.

Fedora and other distros have deprecated and removed NIS support a while
back. While others still retain some support I am not sure we should
advertise it in our examples. Downstream can of course still use
"compat" instead of "files" if they want to, but let's not confuse
people who don't care about NIS anymore with this.

Also, bring the nsswitch.conf snippet in README in line with what our
man pages say.

As previously announced, execute order 66:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2022-September/048352.html

The meson options split-usr, rootlibdir and rootprefix become no-ops
that print a warning if they are set to anything other than the
default values. We can remove them in a future release.

7c0d79131b README: require python >= 3.7, clean up module descriptions
libpython was added in 2cc86f094a, it seems
because of python-systemd module that we built. But libpython by itself
is not enough for actual python programs, and now we also list python itself,
so let's drop libpython from the list.

meson requires >= 3.7. We have CI that runs on CentOS8 with Python 3.6, but
let's not provide official support for an EOL Python version. Individual
distributions can provide backports, but we don't need to mention that in
the user-facing docs. According to [1], 3.7 is on life support and 3.6 is EOL.

2afeaf1675 boot: Bring back bootloader builds
This adds back sd-boot builds by using meson compile targets directly.
We can do this now, because userspace binaries use the special
dependency that allows us to easily separate flags, so that we don't
pass anything to EFI builds that shouldn't be passed.

Additionally, we pass a bunch of flags to hopefully disable/override any
distro provided flags that should not be used for EFI binaries.

Fixes: #12275

50b35193ec meson: merge our two valgrind configuration conditions into one
Most of the support for valgrind was under HAVE_VALGRIND_VALGRIND_H, i.e. we
would enable if the valgrind headers were found. The operations then we be
conditionalized on RUNNING_UNDER_VALGRIND.

But in a few places we had code which was conditionalized on VALGRIND, i.e. the
config option. I noticed because I compiled with -Dvalgrind=true on a machine
that didn't have valgrind.h, and the build failed because
RUNNING_UNDER_VALGRIND was not defined. My first idea was to add a check that
the header is present if the option is set, but it seems better to just remove
the option. The code to support valgrind is trivial, and if we're
!RUNNING_UNDER_VALGRIND, it has negligible cost. And the case of running under
valgrind is always some special testing/debugging mode, so we should just do
those extra steps to make valgrind output cleaner. Removing the option makes
things simpler and we don't have to think if something should be covered by the
one or the other configuration bit.

I had a vague recollection that in some places we used -Dvalgrind=true not
for valgrind support, but to enable additional cleanup under other sanitizers.
But that code would fail to build without the valgrind headers anyway, so
I'm not sure if that was still used. If there are uses like that, we can
extend the condition for cleanup_pools().

distros have sufficiently up-to-date libbpf available.

It's a good pattern to use a variable for the repeating number, so let's
recommend that.

e8a688178c docs: stop recommending meson compile
With meson-0.60, meson compile stopped working with some targets:

$ meson compile -C build update-man-rules
ERROR: Can't invoke target `update-man-rules`: ambiguous name. Add target type and/or path: `PATH/NAME:TYPE`

This is obviously a regression in meson, but based on a chat with the
maintainers, it seems that there's some disagreement as to whether 'meson
compile' is useful and how exactly it should work. Since we're already at
meson 0.60.3 and this hasn't been fixed, and people generally don't seem to
consider this an issue, let's return to documenting the usual practice of
'ninja -C build' that just works everywhere.

(Since nobody has raised any fuss in systemd, it means that people are
generally using the shorter form during development too. I only noticed
because I pasted a command from the release docs when preparing -rc1.)

277f05872f README: say kernel 4.15 is the minimum recommended
After various long discussions
(https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2022-March/047587.html,
https://lwn.net/Articles/889610/), there is no clear answer what the minimum
version should be. Bumping the version above 3.15 doesn't allow us to make any
significant simplifications (unless we went *much* higher). In particular, even
renameat2() is not fully supported with latest kernel versions, e.g. nfs still
doesn't have it. And the bpf stuff is optional anyway. So let's just say that
4.15 is what we recommend, because it provides fairly complete cgroups-v2, but
without any removals of compat in the code.

ba4e0427e9 time-util: assume CLOCK_BOOTTIME always exists
Let's raise our supported baseline a bit: CLOCK_BOOTTIME started to work

for it now.

This will raise our baseline only modestly from 3.13 → 3.15.

baec7d782b meson: Drop required libfdisk version to 2.32
We initially pinned this to 2.33 in
e71f5585b9 because libfdisk 2.32 in
CentOS 8 didn't have
2f35c1ead6
backported.

If we check now, we can see it has been backported
(https://git.centos.org/rpms/util-linux/blob/c8s/f/SOURCES/0048-libfdisk-count-gaps-to-possible-size-when-resize.patch)
which means we can drop the required version to 2.32 instead of 2.33.
