Ronan Pigott 0b40688d18 load-fragment: add user credential specifiers to user.conf
This enables the ManagerEnvironment= settings in the user's user.conf to
reference some user data like $HOME for the purpose of setting
environment variables derived from these values.

<term><varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname></term>
<term><varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configure the hardware watchdog at runtime and at reboot. Takes a timeout value in
seconds (or in other time units if suffixed with <literal>ms</literal>, <literal>min</literal>,
<literal>h</literal>, <literal>d</literal>, <literal>w</literal>), or the special strings
<literal>off</literal> or <literal>default</literal>. If set to <literal>off</literal>
(alternatively: <literal>0</literal>) the watchdog logic is disabled: no watchdog device is opened,
configured, or pinged. If set to the special string <literal>default</literal> the watchdog is opened
and pinged in regular intervals, but the timeout is not changed from the default. If set to any other
time value the watchdog timeout is configured to the specified value (or a value close to it,
depending on hardware capabilities).</para>
<para>If <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is set to a non-zero value, the watchdog hardware
(<filename>/dev/watchdog0</filename> or the path specified with <varname>WatchdogDevice=</varname> or
the kernel option <varname>systemd.watchdog-device=</varname>) will be programmed to automatically
reboot the system if it is not contacted within the specified timeout interval. The system manager
will ensure to contact it at least once in half the specified timeout interval. This feature requires
a hardware watchdog device to be present, as it is commonly the case in embedded and server
systems. Not all hardware watchdogs allow configuration of all possible reboot timeout values, in
which case the closest available timeout is picked.</para>
<para><varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to configure the hardware watchdog when the
system is asked to reboot. It works as a safety net to ensure that the reboot takes place even if a
clean reboot attempt times out. Note that the <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> timeout applies
only to the second phase of the reboot, i.e. after all regular services are already terminated, and
after the system and service manager process (PID 1) got replaced by the
<filename>systemd-shutdown</filename> binary, see system
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details. During the first phase of the shutdown operation the system and service manager remains
running and hence <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is still honoured. In order to define a
timeout on this first phase of system shutdown, configure <varname>JobTimeoutSec=</varname> and
<varname>JobTimeoutAction=</varname> in the [Unit] section of the
<filename>shutdown.target</filename> unit. By default <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> defaults
to 0 (off), and <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> to 10min.</para>
<para><varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to additionally enable the watchdog when kexec
is being executed rather than when rebooting. Note that if the kernel does not reset the watchdog on
kexec (depending on the specific hardware and/or driver), in this case the watchdog might not get
disabled after kexec succeeds and thus the system might get rebooted, unless
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is also enabled at the same time. For this reason it is
recommended to enable <varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname> only if
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is also enabled.</para>
<para>These settings have no effect if a hardware watchdog is not available.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configure the hardware watchdog device pre-timeout value.
Takes a timeout value in seconds (or in other time units similar to
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname>). A watchdog pre-timeout is a
notification generated by the watchdog before the watchdog reset might
occur in the event the watchdog has not been serviced. This notification
is handled by the kernel and can be configured to take an action (i.e.
generate a kernel panic) using <varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreGovernor=</varname>.
Not all watchdog hardware or drivers support generating a pre-timeout and
depending on the state of the system, the kernel may be unable to take the
configured action before the watchdog reboot. The watchdog will be configured
to generate the pre-timeout event at the amount of time specified by
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname> before the runtime watchdog timeout
(set by <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname>). For example, if the we have
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=30</varname> and
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=10</varname>, then the pre-timeout event
will occur if the watchdog has not pinged for 20s (10s before the
watchdog would fire). By default, <varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname>
defaults to 0 (off). The value set for <varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreSec=</varname>
must be smaller than the timeout value for <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname>.
This setting has no effect if a hardware watchdog is not available or the
hardware watchdog does not support a pre-timeout and will be ignored by the
kernel if the setting is greater than the actual watchdog timeout.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>RuntimeWatchdogPreGovernor=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configure the action taken by the hardware watchdog device
when the pre-timeout expires. The default action for the pre-timeout event
depends on the kernel configuration, but it is usually to log a kernel
message. For a list of valid actions available for a given watchdog device,
check the content of the
<filename>/sys/class/watchdog/watchdog<replaceable>X</replaceable>/pretimeout_available_governors</filename>
file. Typically, available governor types are <varname>noop</varname> and <varname>panic</varname>.
Availability, names and functionality might vary depending on the specific device driver
in use. If the <filename>pretimeout_available_governors</filename> sysfs file is empty,
the governor might be built as a kernel module and might need to be manually loaded
(e.g. <varname>pretimeout_noop.ko</varname>), or the watchdog device might not support
pre-timeouts.</para></listitem>

Capabilities listed will be included in the bounding set, all

effect of the assignment inverted. Note that this option also
affects the respective capabilities in the effective,
permitted and inheritable capability sets. The capability
bounding set may also be individually configured for units

<term><varname>SystemCallArchitectures=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a space-separated list of architecture

way to disable invocation of non-native binaries system-wide,
for example to prohibit execution of 32-bit x86 binaries on
64-bit x86-64 systems. This option operates system-wide, and
acts similar to the
<varname>SystemCallArchitectures=</varname> setting of unit
files, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. This setting defaults to the empty list, in which
case no filtering of system calls based on architecture is
applied. Known architecture identifiers are
<literal>x86</literal>, <literal>x86-64</literal>,
<literal>x32</literal>, <literal>arm</literal> and the special
identifier <literal>native</literal>. The latter implicitly
maps to the native architecture of the system (or more
specifically, the architecture the system manager was compiled
for). Set this setting to <literal>native</literal> to
prohibit execution of any non-native binaries. When a binary
executes a system call of an architecture that is not listed
in this setting, it will be immediately terminated with the

<term><varname>DefaultOOMScoreAdjust=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configures the default OOM score adjustments of processes run by the service
manager. This defaults to unset (meaning the forked off processes inherit the service manager's OOM
score adjustment value), except if the service manager is run for an unprivileged user, in which case
this defaults to the service manager's OOM adjustment value plus 100 (this makes service processes
slightly more likely to be killed under memory pressure than the manager itself). This may be used to
pick a global default for the per-unit <varname>OOMScoreAdjust=</varname> setting. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details. Note that this setting has no effect on the OOM score adjustment value of the service
manager process itself, it retains the original value set during its invocation.</para></listitem>
