This makes the naming more consistent: we now have
bootctl systemd-efi-options,
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS
and the SystemdOptions EFI variable.
(SystemdEFIOptions would be redundant, because it is only used in the context
of efivars, and users don't interact with that name directly.)
bootctl is adjusted to use 2sp indentation, similarly to systemctl and other
programs.
Remove the prefix with the old name from 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' output,
since it's redundant and we don't want the old name anyway.
Move the explanation of options three columns to the right: then almost
all options fit and we do not need to break lines so often.
When a multi-line explanation precedes a section break, i.e. there is a
half-line on the right side, do not use an empty space. This saves a line,
and actually looks visually better because the text is still clearly
separated, but we don't get the big vertical white space.
This copies the commands log-level and log-target (to query and set the current
settings) from systemd-analyze to systemctl, essentially reverting
a65615ca5d. Controllling the log level settings
of the manager is basic functionality, that should be available even if
systemd-analyze (which is more of an analysis tool) is not installed. This is
like dmesg and journalctl, which should be available even if a debugger and
more advanced tools to analyze the kernel are not available. (Note that dmesg
is used to control the log level too, not just to browse the kernel logs.)
I chose to copy&paste the methods from analyze.c to the new location. There
isn't enough code to share, because acquire_bus() in both places has a
different signature despite the same name, so the only part that is common
is the invocation of sd_bus_set_property().
This cleans up and unifies the outut of --help texts a bit:
1. Highlight the human friendly description string, not the command
line via ANSI sequences. Previously both this description string and
the brief command line summary was marked with the same ANSI
highlight sequence, but given we auto-page to less and less does not
honour multi-line highlights only the command line summary was
affectively highlighted. Rationale: for highlighting the description
instead of the command line: the command line summary is relatively
boring, and mostly the same for out tools, the description on the
other hand is pregnant, important and captions the whole thing and
hence deserves highlighting.
2. Always suffix "Options" with ":" in the help text
3. Rename "Flags" → "Options" in one case
4. Move commands to the top in a few cases
5. add coloring to many more help pages
6. Unify on COMMAND instead of {COMMAND} in the command line summary.
Some tools did it one way, others the other way. I am not sure what
precisely {} is supposed to mean, that uppercasing doesn't, hence
let's simplify and stick to the {}-less syntax
And minor other tweaks.
Our handling of the condition was inconsistent. Normally, we'd only fire when
the file was created (or removed and subsequently created again). But on restarts,
we'd do a "recheck" from path_coldplug(), and if the file existed, we'd
always trigger. Daemon restarts and reloads should not be observeable, in
the sense that they should not trigger units which were already triggered and
would not be started again under normal circumstances.
Note that the mechanism for checks is racy: we get a notification from inotify,
and by the time we check, the file could have been created and removed again,
or removed and created again. It would be better if we inotify would give as
an unambiguous signal that the file was created, but it doesn't: IN_DELETE_SELF
triggers on inode removal, not directory entry, so we need to include IN_ATTRIB,
which obviously triggers on other conditions.
Fixes#12801.
Using these IDs for message identication is one use case, but there are
others, hence let's drop the prefix, it only made sense to have while
the tool was part of journalctl.
For some unrelated stuff I wanted the machine ID in UUID format, and it
was annoying doing that manually. So let's add a switch for this, so
that this works:
systemd-id128 machine-id -u
This makes the ask-password agent handling more alike the polkit agent
handling again, and introduces ask_password_agent_open_if_enabled() that
works just like the already existing polkit_agent_open_if_enabled().
The commit:
a3fc6b55ac nspawn: mask out CAP_NET_ADMIN again if settings file turns off private networking
turned off the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability whenever no private networking
feature was enabled. This broke configurations where the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability was explicitly requested in the configuration.
Changing the order of evalution here to allow the Capability= setting
to overrule this implicit setting:
Order of evaluation:
1. if no private network setting is enabled, CAP_NET_ADMIN is removed
2. if a private network setting is enabled, CAP_NET_ADMIN is added
3. the settings of Capability= are added
4. the settings of DropCapability= are removed
This allows the fix for #11755 to be retained and to still allow the
admin to specify CAP_NET_ADMIN as additional capability.
