The new varlink methods are basically equivalent to 'ip link set INTERFACE up/down',
but they support polkit authentication. Also, on LinkDown, it gracefully
stops dynamic engines like DHCP client/server before the interface is
bring down. Hence, e.g. an empty RA on stop should be sent.

Previously, setting HibernateDelaySec= would disable ACPI battery trip
point (_BTP) alarms, forcing the system to rely solely on software
polling for battery checks. This could result in the battery draining
to 0% between polling intervals, causing data loss.
Now, when ACPI _BTP is available AND HibernateDelaySec= is set, both
mechanisms work together. The system will hibernate on whichever comes
first: low battery (instant hardware alarm) or the configured timeout.
This also properly respects HibernateOnACPower=no by resetting the
timer while on AC power, matching the documented behavior.

Add JSON_BUILD_PAIR_IN_ADDR_WITH_STRING, JSON_BUILD_PAIR_IN6_ADDR_WITH_STRING,
and JSON_BUILD_PAIR_IN4_ADDR_WITH_STRING macros (plus _NON_NULL variants) that
emit both the binary address array and a human-readable string representation.
For example, an address field now emits both:
"Address": [192, 168, 1, 1]
"AddressString": "192.168.1.1"
This improves usability of the JSON/Varlink output for debugging and tooling
that consumes networkd state.
Updated networkd-json.c to use these new macros for addresses, neighbors,
nexthops, routes, routing policy rules, DNS servers, NTP servers, SIP servers,
domains, DHCPv6 prefixes, and link-local addresses.
Also updated the Varlink interface definitions to include the new string fields.
When [DHCPPrefixDelegation] Assign=no, networkd creates routes instead of
addresses. These routes need to populate nftables sets for firewall
rules to work correctly.
This commit adds dhcp_pd_route_modify_nft_set() to handle NFT set
updates for DHCP-PD routes, similar to how address_modify_nft_set()
handles them for addresses.
Fixes: #38383
Add a test case to verify that cat_files() correctly handles symlinks
to /dev/null (masked configuration files) and returns success (0)
instead of failing.
This test complements the fix for issue #40313.

Make bus acquisition conditional in verb_edit() and verb_cat(), following
the same pattern used in verb_enable(). When install_client_side() returns
non-zero (indicating --global, --root, offline, or similar scenarios), skip
acquiring a D-Bus connection and perform all operations client-side.
Changes:
- Only acquire bus when install_client_side() returns NO
- Use mangle_names() instead of expand_unit_names() in client-side mode
- Pass force_client_side flag based on bus availability
- Skip bus-dependent operations (need_daemon_reload, etc.) when bus is NULL
This allows 'systemctl edit --global' and 'systemctl cat --global' to work
correctly, fixing the regression introduced by commit d77d42ed3a.
Test cases added to verify:
- Creating and editing global user units with --runtime
- Reading global units with cat --global
- Proper detection and rejection of masked units in client-side mode
- Tests use /run/ instead of /etc/ for safer temporary testing
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/31272
When operating in client-side mode (force_client_side=true), unit_find_paths()
now checks if the unit file is masked (symlinked to /dev/null or empty) and
returns -ERFKILL, matching the behavior of the server-side path.
This centralizes masked unit detection in one place, making it consistent
across both client-side and server-side operations.
When varlink parameters are empty, omit the "parameters" field entirely
rather than sending "parameters":{}. This reduces message size and
follows varlink specification which allows parameters to be omitted.
The implementation supports three equivalent representations for empty
parameters: field omission, JSON null, and empty object {}. All three
are accepted on input for backward compatibility.
Fixes: #38474
Implements DHCP option 15 (Domain Name) for systemd-networkd's DHCP
server, allowing administrators to configure the DNS default domain that
clients should use.
This addresses the feature request in issue #37077, where users needed
to manually configure domain names using
SendOption=15:string:example.com as a workaround.
This adds two new configuration options to the [DHCPServer] section:
- EmitDomain= (boolean): whether to send domain name to clients
- Domain= (string): the domain name to send (e.g., "example.com")
Example configuration:
[DHCPServer] EmitDomain=yes Domain=example.com
This eliminates the need for manual workarounds using
SendOption=15:string:...
Fixes#37077
Implements the ability to add recovery keys to existing user accounts
via homectl update --recovery-key=yes. Previously, recovery keys could
only be configured during initial user creation, requiring users to
recreate their entire home directory to add recovery keys later.
Fixes: #23602
Enhance CPU time logging to include wall clock duration alongside
CPU consumption. When a unit transitions to inactive/failed state,
the log message now shows both CPU time consumed and the total wall
clock time since activation.
Changes:
- Calculate wall clock duration using active_enter_timestamp
- Update log format: "Consumed Xs CPU time over Ys wall clock time"
- Fallback to original format if no activation timestamp available
- Use monotonic clock for accurate duration calculation
This addresses issue #35738 by providing administrators better context
about service performance and resource efficiency.
Example output:
- With wall clock: "service: Consumed 30s CPU time over 5min wall clock time"
- Without timestamp: "service: Consumed 30s CPU time"
