POSIX_ME_HARDER mode is disabled for localectl. It doesn't
make much sense in case of localectl, and there's little reason
for localectl to behave specially.
Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.
A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:
$ size build/.libs/systemd
text data bss dec hex filename
before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd
… actually less than 1‰.
A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
Ensure clients don't overflow usec_t when doing relative time changes.
This is mostly just paranoia and protection against accidents, after all
clients are already authenticated, and they can se the time to any
value they wish anyway, but better be safe than sorry.

This is a followup to: commit 1a37b9b904
It will fix denial messages from dbus-daemon between gdm and
systemd-logind on logging into GNOME due to this.
See the previous commit for more details.
This simplifies the upstream system code quite a bit. If downstream distributions want to maintain compatibility with their old configuration files, they are welcome to do so, but need to maintain this as patches downstream. The burden needs to be on the distributions to maintain differences here. Our suggestion however is to just convert the old configuration files on upgrade, as multiple distributions already do.
Fix the fallowing error when no system dbus available:
Failed to get system D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
process 14920: arguments to dbus_connection_close() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2889.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
process 14920: arguments to dbus_connection_unref() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2776.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
Much like logind has a client in loginctl, and journald in journalctl
introduce timedatectl, to change the system time (incl. RTC), timezones
and related settings.
The MESSAGE_ID=... stanza will appear in countless number of places.
It is just too long to write it out in full each time.
Incidentally, this also fixes a typo of MESSSAGE is three places.
Properly tell the kernel at bootup, and any later time zone changes,
the actual system time zone.
Things like the kernel's FAT filesystem driver needs the actual time
zone to calculate the proper local time to use for the on-disk time
stamps.

- Make writing/reading of /etc/timezone dependendent of HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT
- Introduce symlink_atomic() after all, and use it
- Use relative symlink for /etc/localtime
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/...
or
/etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/...
(note, ../usr is not the same if /etc is a symlink, as this isn't
using canonicalize_file_name())
keep other method for now, consider dropping later.
Supporting relative links here are problematic as timezones in
/usr/share/zoneinfo are often themselves symlinks (and symlinks to
symlinks), so this implamentation only supports absolute symlinks
"/usr/share/zoneinfo/" and relative symlinks starting with
"../usr/share/zoneinfo/"
>From TODO (kay sievers):
* kill /etc/timezone handling entirely? What does it provide?
- /etc/localtime carries the same information already:
$ ls -l /etc/localtime; cat /etc/timezone
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 27 09:55 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
Europe/Berlin
- systemd enforces /usr to be available at bootup, so we can
enforce the use of the symlink
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
To be considered by timedated for NTP a package simply has to drop in
/usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/foobar.list and write one or more unit
names into it. The first one listed is the one that is enabled.
