"Link-local" and "link local" are used throughout man pages and program
output, with the former used far more than the latter. This commit makes
it consistent throughout the project.
The commit 6706ce2fd2 made
IgnoreCarrierLoss= setting also take timespan, to make users handle
issues like #18738 or #20887. But still users needed to explicitly set
a timespan.
This makes networkd automatically determine the timeout when the
situations #18738 or #19832 is detected. Unfortunately, still users have
issue #20887 need to specify a value.
Closes#19832.
We don't need to talk about Alias=. The approach of using Alias= to enable
units is still supported, but hasn't been advertised as the way to do thing
for many years. Using it as an explanation is just confusing.
Also, the description of templated units did not take DefaultInstance=
into account. It is updated and extended.
We didn't actually say that keys should not be repeated. At least the
examples in docs (both python and shell) would do that, and any simple
parser that builds a dictionary would most likely behave the same way.
But let's document this expectation, but also say how to deal with malformed
files.
Let's be more precise here. Otherwise people might think this describes
the software system or so. We already expose this via hostnamed as
HardwareVendor/HardwareModel hence use the exact same wording.
(Note that the relevant props on the dmi device are just VENDOR/MODEL,
but that's OK given that DMI really is about hardware anyway,
unconditionally, hence no chance of confusion there.)

The commit 1cf4ed142d makes the IPv4 ACD
enabled unconditionally for IPv4 link-local addresses even if users
explicitly disable ACD.
This makes the IPv4 ACD is enabled by default, but honor user setting.
Fixes#22763.
systemd-udev-trigger.service by default triggeres all devices regardless
of whether they were already recognized by systemd-udevd.
There are machines (especially in embedded environments) where
systemd-udev-trigger.service is configured to run at a later stage of
the boot sequence, which can lead to quite a lot of devices being
triggered although they were already recognized by systemd-udevd.
Re-triggering a lot of devices is a relatively expensive operation and
therefore should be avoided if unnecessary.
Therefore this patch introduces --initialized-nomatch, which filters out
devices that are already present in the udev database. For consistance
reasons --initialized-match is implemented as well, which filters out devices
that are *not* already present in the udev database.
Replaces #19949.
So, typically systemd-boot is referenced as sd-boot, due to te usual
shorter naming in ESP resources. systemd-stub didnt do that so far,
since it never appears as separate files in the ESP. However it's super
annoying that you can find "man sd-boot", but not the very closely
related "man sd-stub". Let's fix that, and also add an "sd-stub" alias
to the "systemd-stub" man page.
So (maybe weirdly) loader.conf(5) documents both loader.conf and type #1
entries (because they share a similar syntax). But it then only lists
the options of loader.conf. Let's add an explicit hint where to find
the documentation of the type #1 entries.
Conceptually the feature is great and should exist, but in its current
form should be worked to be generic (i.e. not specific to
Windows/Bitlocker, but appliable to any boot entry), not be global (but
be a per-entry thing), not require a BootXXXX entry to exist, and not
check for the BitLocker signature (as TPMs are not just used for
BitLocker).
Since we want to get 251 released, mark it in the documentation, in NEWS
and in code as experimental and make clear it will be reworked in a
future release. Also, make it opt-in to make it less likely people come
to rely on it without reading up on it, and understanding that it will
likely change sooner or later.
Follow-up for: #22043
See: #22390
Handle the case where TPM2 metadata is not available and explicitly
provided in crypttab. This adds a new "tpm2-pin" option to crypttab
options for this purpose.
This makes a bunch of closely related changes:
1. The "entry-token" concept already introduced in kernel-install is now
made use of. i.e. specifically there's a new option --entry-token=
that can be used to explicitly select by which ID to identify boot
loader entries: the machine ID, or some OS ID (ID= or IMAGE_ID= from
/etc/os-release, or even some completely different string. The
selected string is then persisted to /etc/kernel/entry-token, so that
kernel-install can find it there.
2. The --make-machine-id-directory= switch is renamed to
--make-entry-directory= since after all it's not necessarily the
machine ID the dir is named after, but can be any other string as
selected by the entry token.
3. This drops all code to make automatic changes to /etc/machine-info.
Specifically, the KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID= field is now more
generically implemented in /etc/kernel/entry-token described above,
hence no need to place it at two locations. And the
KERNEL_INSTALL_LAYOUT= field is not configurable by user switch or
similar anyway in bootctl, but only read from
/etc/kernel/install.conf, and hence copying it from one configuration
file to another appears unnecessary, the second copy is fully
redundant. Note that this just drops writing these fields, they'll
still be honoured when already set.
This drops documentation of KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID as machine-info
field (though we'll still read it for compat).
This updates the kernel-install man page to always say "ENTRY-TOKEN"
instead of "MACHINE-ID" where appropriate, to clear the confusion up
between the two.
This also tries to fix how we denote env vars (always prefix with $ and
without = suffix), and other vars (without $ but with = suffix)
