If systemd serializes from a switch_root, it adds "--switchedroot" to
the systemd in the real root.
If "--switchedroot" is found, then we do not skip all the stuff, which
is skipped for normal rexecs.
The PAM helper thread needs to capture the death signal from the
parent, but is prohibited from doing so since when the child dies
as normal user, the kernel won't allow it to send a TERM to the
PAM helper thread which is running as root.
This causes the PAM threads to never exit, accumulating after
user sessions exit.
There is however really no need to keep the PAM threads running as
root, so, we can just setresuid() to the same user as defined in the
unit file for the parent thread (User=). This makes the TERM signal
arrive as normal. In case setresuid() fails, we ignore the error, so
we at least fall back to the current behaviour.
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
systemctl called LoadUnit, GetUnit, GetAll in this order to get the properties.
It is useless to load units explicitly, because it won't ensure anything. The
unit may be freed immediately by the garbage collector.
It is unnecessary to call GetUnit, because systemctl can easily translate the
unit name to DBus path by itself.
GetAll will load the unit if necessary.
We need to be able to show the properties even of inactive units.
systemctl loads the unit before getting its properties, but this is racy
as the garbage collector may kick in right after the loading.
Fix it by always loading the unit before handling a message for it.

Not everyone is interested in every kind of deltas (and some might
even be interested knowing which files do not have overrides), so this
here is an implementation of a --type=LIST... option for
systemd-delta, that makes it possible to filter what subset of deltas
we want.
The available modifiers are masked, equivalent, redirected, overriden,
and unchanged - they should be self explanatory, and the man page
explains them in a little more detail anyway.
As a side effect, in case of overriden files, the diff output was made
optional.
By default, everything is shown (with a diff, if appropriate) except
for completely unchanged files.
