Let's try to mangle table contents a bit to make them more suitable as
JSON field names. Specifically when we see "foo bar" convert this to
"foo_bar" as field name, as variable/field names are generally assumed
to be without spaces.
As documented in systemd.path(5):
When a service unit triggered by a path unit terminates (regardless
whether it exited successfully or failed), monitored paths are
checked immediately again, and the service accordingly restarted
instantly.
This commit implements this behaviour for PathExists=, PathExistsGlob=,
and DirectoryNotEmpty=. These predicates are essentially
"level-triggered": the service should be activated whenever the
predicate is true. PathChanged= and PathModified=, on the other hand,
are "edge-triggered": the service should only be activated when the
predicate *becomes* true.
The behaviour has been broken since at least as far back as commit
8fca6944c2 ("path: stop watching path specs once we triggered the target
unit"). This commit had systemd stop monitoring inotify whenever the
triggered unit was activated. Unfortunately this meant it never updated
the ->inotify_triggered flag, so it never rechecked the path specs when
the triggered unit deactivated.
With this commit, systemd rechecks all paths specs whenever the
triggered unit deactivates. If any PathExists=, PathExistsGlob= or
DirectoryNotEmpty= predicate passes, the triggered unit is reactivated.
If the target unit is activated by something outside of the path unit,
the path unit immediately transitions to a running state. This ensures
the path unit stops monitoring inotify in this situation.
With this change in place, commit d7cf8c24d4 ("core/path: fix spurious
triggering of PathExists= on restart/reload") is no longer necessary.
The path unit (and its triggered unit) is now always active whenever
the PathExists= predicate passes, so there is no spurious restart when
systemd is reloaded or restarted.
User accounts of given names are necessary for the build script and
tests to succeed.
(Fixup of #15527, too keen cleaning of dependencies and cached image
caused this.)

Systems where a mount point is expected to be read-write needs a way to
fail mount units that fallback as read-only.
Add a property to allow setting the -w option when calling mount(8).
Add note for change of behaviour in systemd-notify, where parent pid trick
is only used when --no-block is passed, and with enough privileges ofcourse.
Also, fix a small error in systemd(1).
This adds the sd_notify_barrier function, to allow users to synchronize against
the reception of sd_notify(3) status messages. It acts as a synchronization
point, and a successful return gurantees that all previous messages have been
consumed by the manager. This can be used to eliminate race conditions where
the sending process exits too early for systemd to associate its PID to a
cgroup and attribute the status message to a unit correctly.
systemd-notify now uses this function for proper notification delivery and be
useful for NotifyAccess=all units again in user mode, or in cases where it
doesn't have a control process as parent.
Fixes: #2739
As Debian/Ubuntu use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd,
add systemd-journal-remote to the list of programs that test-functions
detects the correct path to, and replace its direct usage with
$SYSTEMD_JOURNAL_REMOTE
Also use $JOURNALCTL instead of journalctl.
Also minor correction in install_plymouth() to look in /lib/... as
well as /usr/lib/... and /etc/...
A service can specify FDSTORE=1 FDPOLL=0 to request that PID1 does not
poll the fd to remove them on error. If set, fds will only be removed on
FDSTOREREMOVE=1 or when the service is done.
Fixes: #12086
With cgroup v2 the cgroup freezer is implemented as a cgroup
attribute called cgroup.freeze. cgroup can be frozen by writing "1"
to the file and kernel will send us a notification through
"cgroup.events" after the operation is finished and processes in the
cgroup entered quiescent state, i.e. they are not scheduled to
run. Writing "0" to the attribute file does the inverse and process
execution is resumed.
This commit exposes above low-level functionality through systemd's DBus
API. Each unit type must provide specialized implementation for these
methods, otherwise, we return an error. So far only service, scope, and
slice unit types provide the support. It is possible to check if a
given unit has the support using CanFreeze() DBus property.
Note that DBus API has a synchronous behavior and we dispatch the reply
to freeze/thaw requests only after the kernel has notified us that
requested operation was completed.
We need both a slice name and a prefix for application units. For
consistency we tried to use the same name and ended up standardising on
"apps.slice" and and "apps-" prefix for the units.
However, "app-" would be a more natural prefix for applications. And it
is no problem to simply also name the slice "app.slice" for consistency
rather than keeping the current "apps.slice".

EFI variable access is nowadays subject to rate limiting by the kernel.
Thus, let's cache the results of checking them, in order to minimize how
often we access them.
Fixes: #14828
Callers of cg_get_keyed_attribute_full() can now specify via the flag whether the
missing keyes in cgroup attribute file are OK or not. Also the wrappers for both
strict and graceful version are provided.
