When traversing entry array chains for a bisection or for retrieving an
item by index we previously always started at the beginning of the
chain. Since we tend to look at the same chains repeatedly, let's cache
where we have been the last time, and maybe we can skip ahead with this
the next time.
This turns most bisections and index lookups from O(log(n)*log(n)) into
O(log(n)). More importantly however, we seek around on disk much less,
which is good to reduce buffer cache and seek times on rotational disks.
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.

This minimal HTTP server can serve journal data via HTTP. Its primary
purpose is synchronization of journal data across the network. It serves
journal data in three formats:
text/plain: the text format known from /var/log/messages
application/json: the journal entries formatted as JSON
application/vnd.fdo.journal: the binary export format of the journal
The HTTP server also serves a small HTML5 app that makes use of the JSON
serialization to present the journal data to the user.
Examples:
This downloads the journal in text format:
# systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.service
# wget http://localhost:19531/entries
Same for JSON:
# curl -H"Accept: application/json" http://localhost:19531/entries
Access via web browser:
$ firefox http://localhost:19531/
we now can take multiple matches, and they will apply as AND if they
apply to different fields and OR if they apply to the same fields. Also,
terms of this kind can be combined with an overreaching OR.
This makes sure that
systemctl status /home
is implicitly translated to:
systemctl status /home.mount
Similar, /dev/foobar becomes dev-foobar.device.
Also, all characters that cannot be part of a unit name are implicitly
escaped.
since the binaries share much of the same code and we better load only
one binary instead of two from disk at early boot let's merge the three
readahead binaries into one. This also allows us to drop a lot of
duplicated code.
This adds minimal hardware watchdog support to PID 1. The idea is that
PID 1 supervises and watchdogs system services, while the hardware
watchdog is used to supervise PID 1.
This adds two hardware watchdog configuration options, for the runtime
watchdog and for a shutdown watchdog. The former is active during normal
operation, the latter only at reboots to ensure that if a clean reboot
times out we reboot nonetheless.
If the runtime watchdog is enabled PID 1 will automatically wake up at
half the configured interval and write to the watchdog daemon.
By default we enable the shutdown watchdog, but leave the runtime
watchdog disabled in order not to break independent hardware watchdog
daemons people might be using.
This is only the most basic hookup. If necessary we can later on hook
up the watchdog ping more closely with services deemed crucial.
This logic can be turned off by defining SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION
before including sd-journal.h.
This also saves/restores errno in all logging functions, in order to be
useful as logging calls without side-effects.
This also adds a couple of __unlikely__ around the early checks in the
logging calls, in order to minimize the runtime impact.
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for
journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat.
All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the
exception of the three primary user interface binaries:
systemctl
loginctl
journalctl
For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks:
systemd-systemctl → systemctl
systemd-loginctl → loginctl
systemd-journalctl → journalctl
We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid
unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify
stay the way they are.
In preparation for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655380 we
decided it's better to include the multi-seat X wrapper in systemd,
rather than gdm. (Side effect: this makes this accessible for other
DMs)
This is a stop-gap for now, until X gins proper multi-seat graphics
support at which point this code will go away without replacement.
This new installer will replace the current code of "systemctl enable"
but also be available via D-Bus. It adds a couple of new features:
- Mask/Unmask calls
- Reenable call
- Preset call
- Support for enabling units temporarily (i.e. in /run/systemd instead
of /etc/systemd)
- Enumeration of installed units
- Support for out-of-search-path units
systemctl and D-Bus are not hooked up with this yet
