No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in
vconsole.conf.
The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users
of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these
character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not
any longer.
Rationale:
* it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different
from adding FONT="";
* the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the
upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should
admittedly be fixed in the font itself);
* the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to
use that unless anything else is specified;
* This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and
* We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the
compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).

As audit is pretty much just a special kind of logging we should treat
it similar, and manage the audit fd in a static variable.
This simplifies the audit fd sharing with the SELinux access checking
code quite a bit.
a) Instead of parsing the bus messages inside of selinux-access.c
simply pass everything pre-parsed in the functions
b) implement the access checking with a macro that resolves to nothing
on non-selinux builds
c) split out the selinux checks into their own sources
selinux-util.[ch]
d) this unifies the job creation code behind the D-Bus calls
Manager.StartUnit() and Unit.Start().
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/
Instead of doing hand optimized fd bisect arrays just use plain old
hashmaps. Now I can understand my own code again. Yay!
As a side effect this should fix some bad memory accesses caused by
accesses after mmap(), introduced in 189.

This patch adds the ability to look at the calling process that is trying to
do dbus calls into systemd, then it checks with the SELinux policy to see if
the calling process is allowed to do the activity.
The basic idea is we want to allow NetworkManager_t to be able to start and
stop ntpd.service, but not necessarly mysqld.service.
Similarly we want to allow a root admin webadm_t that can only manage the
apache environment. systemctl enable httpd.service, systemctl disable
iptables.service bad.
To make this code cleaner, we really need to refactor the dbus-manager.c code.
This has just become a huge if-then-else blob, which makes doing the correct
check difficult.

All "btrfs" file systems will be registered with the kernel when they
show up.
Incomplete multi-device volumes will set SYSTEMD_READY=0, to prevent
access until the volume is complete and fully registered.
Systemd has a large (and growing) number of manpages. Sometimes it's
not immediately obvious, where to look for a directive. Especially,
when something is described in more than one place. Making sense of
all the settings should be easier with an index.
