This directory never seemed to exist. The wording is very similar to
that of the Rules Files section, so it is possible that the same text
was copied and pasted by mistake. The HWDB never looked for files in
/run.
Having a non-volatile index of volatile files would probably not be
useful.
Introduce UDEV_HWDB_PATH, containing a colon-separated path with hwdb
files in it. The whole path is searched, in addition to the system
locations, when searching for hwdb files.
Due to how conf_files_list_strv is implemented, as a thin wrapper
around the internal function, it is easy to also implement a variant
accepting a search path in the same way. Since the internal function
expects an allocated array of allocated strings, the path scanning is
done in 2 steps, to first get the array length, and then duplicate the
items. It is not possible to use strtok(_r) here because it would work
for only 1 pass.
* src/shared/conf-files.c (conf_files_list_follow_path): New function.
(conf_files_list_strv_path): Use it here.
* src/shared/conf-files.h: Export the signature for the _path variant.
* src/udev/udevadm-hwdb.c (list_conf_file_path): New function
replacing conf_file_dirs.
(help): Document the search path for hwdb files.
(adm_hwdb): Use list_conf_file_path and conf_files_list_strv_path.
* man/udevadm.xml: Mention UDEV_HWDB_PATH.
* man/udev.xml: Same.
* man/udevadm.8: Regenerate.
* man/udev.7: Same.
Instead of always writing /etc/udev/hwdb.bin or UDEV_LIBEXEC_DIR
/hwdb.bin, let the user specify a full file name.
* src/udev/udevadm-hwdb.c (adm_hwdb): New option "output". Construct
hwdb_bin when processing options, and prepend root after processing
options.
* man/udev.xml: Mention --output.
* man/udevadm.xml: Document --output.
* man/udev.7: Regenerate.
* man/udevadm.8: Same.
* src/libudev/libudev-hwdb.c (get_hwdb_bin_paths): New function,
replacing hwdb_bin_paths.
(struct udev_hwdb): New bin_paths field.
(udev_hwdb_new): Initialize it with get_hwdb_bin_paths.
(udev_hwdb_validate): Use the bin_paths field to find hwdb.bin.
(udev_hwdb_unref): Free the bin_paths field.
* src/libudev/libudev.h: Warn about UDEV_HWDB_BIN.
* man/udev.xml: Mention run-time UDEV_HWDB_BIN.

Subject: udev hwdb: Support shipping pre-compiled database in system images
In some cases it is preferable to ship system images with a pre-generated
binary hwdb database, to avoid having to build it at runtime, avoid shipping
the source hwdb files, or avoid storing large binary files in /etc.
So if hwdb.bin does not exist in /etc/udev/, fall back to looking for it in
UDEVLIBEXECDIR. This keeps the possibility to add files to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/
and re-generating the database which trumps the one in /usr/lib.
Add a new --usr flag to "udevadm hwdb --update" which puts the database
into UDEVLIBEXECDIR.
Adjust systemd-udev-hwdb-update.service to not generate the file in /etc if we
already have it in /usr.
Anto:
short options which were added to the udevd manpage, were not added to
the .xml file, and everytime manpages get regenerated the change gets
overwritten.
also update pregenerated version of udev manpage

Last time $UDEV_LOG was referred in code was in
dacd994fda.
Remove all traces for this legacy option.

This makes udevadm trigger mirror udevadm info, except that multiple
device names can be specified. Instructions in 60-keyboard.hwdb should
now actually work.
udevadm(8) is updated, but it could use a bit more polishing.

In the long run we really should figure out if we want to stick with 8ch
or 2ch indenting, and not continue with half-and-half. For now, just
make emacs aware of the files that use 2ch indenting.

The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower
priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter.
This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable
names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and
protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard.
I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered
when it was removed.

This extends the udev parser to support OP_REMOVE (-=) and adds support
for TAG-= to remove previously set tags. We don't fail if the tag didn't
exist.
This is pretty handy if we ship default rules for seat-assignments and
users want to exclude specific devices from that. They can easily add
rules that drop any automatically added "seat" tags again.

We generally have separate man pages for all configuration files.
In this case udev.conf was already described in systemd-udevd.service(8),
but it was hard to find. Docbook makes it hard to add a .so link from
a different section, so describe udev.conf in its own page.

The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions
udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a
namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It
confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a
timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending.
Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's
API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore
when namespaces are involved.
