systemd: Update version from 237 to 238
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[Announcement][1]:

> CHANGES WITH 238:
>
> * The MemoryAccounting= unit property now defaults to on. After
> discussions with the upstream control group maintainers we learnt
> that the negative impact of cgroup memory accounting on current
> kernels is finally relatively minimal, so that it should be safe to
> enable this by default without affecting system performance. Besides
> memory accounting only task accounting is turned on by default, all
> other forms of resource accounting (CPU, IO, IP) remain off for now,
> because it's not clear yet that their impact is small enough to move
> from opt-in to opt-out. We recommend downstreams to leave memory
> accounting on by default if kernel 4.14 or higher is are primarily
> used. On very resource constrained systems or when support for old
> kernels is a necessity, -Dmemory-accounting-default=false can be
> used to revert this change.
>
> * rpm scriptlets to update the udev hwdb and rules
> (%udev_hwdb_update, %udev_rules_update) and the journal catalog
> (%journal_catalog_update) from the upgrade scriptlets of individual
> packages now do nothing. Transfiletriggers have been added which will
> perform those updates once at the end of the transaction.
>
> Similar transfiletriggers have been added to execute any sysctl.d and
> binfmt.d rules. Thus, it should be unnecessary to provide any
> scriptlets to execute this configuration from package installation
> scripts.
>
> * systemd-sysusers gained a mode where the configuration to execute
> is specified on the command line, but this configuration is not
> executed directly, but instead it is merged with the configuration on
> disk, and the result is executed. This is useful for package
> installation scripts which want to create the user before installing
> any files on disk (in case some of those files are owned by that
> user), while still allowing local admin overrides.
>
> This functionality is exposed to rpm scriplets through a new
> %sysusers_create_package macro. Old %sysusers_create and
> %sysusers_create_inline macros are deprecated.
>
> A transfiletrigger for sysusers.d configuration is now installed,
> which means that it should be uncessary to call systemd-sysusers
> from package installation scripts, unless the package installs any
> files owned by those newly-created users, in which case
> %sysusers_create_package should be used.
>
> * Analogous change has been done for systemd-tmpfiles: it gained a
> mode where the command-line configuration is merged with the
> configuration on disk. This is exposed as the new
> %tmpfiles_create_package macro, and %tmpfiles_create is deprecated. A
> transfiletrigger is installed for tmpfiles.d, hence it should be
> unnecessary to call systemd-tmpfiles from package installation
> scripts.
>
> * sysusers.d configuration for a user may now also specify the group
> number, in addition to the user number ("u username 123:456"), or
> without the user number ("u username -:456").
>
> * Configution items for systemd-sysusers can now be specified as
> positional arguments when the new --inline switch is used.
>
> * The login shell of users created through sysusers.d may now be
> specified (previously, it was always /bin/sh for root and
> /sbin/nologin for other users).
>
> * systemd-analyze gained a new --global switch to look at global
> user configuration. It also gained a unit-paths verb to list the unit
> load paths that are compiled into systemd (which can be used with
> --systemd, --user, or --global).
>
> * udevadm trigger gained a new --settle/-w option to wait for any
> triggered events to finish (but just those, and not any other events
> which are triggered meanwhile).
>
> * The action that systemd-logind takes when the lid is closed and
> the machine is connected to external power can now be configured
> using HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= in logind.conf. Previously, this
> action was determined by HandleLidSwitch=, and, for backwards
> compatibility, is still is, if HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= is not
> explicitly set.
>
> * journalctl will periodically call sd_journal_process() to make it
> resilient against inotify queue overruns when journal files are
> rotated very quickly.
>
> * Two new functions in libsystemd — sd_bus_get_n_queued_read and
> sd_bus_get_n_queued_write — may be used to check the number of
> pending bus messages.
>
> * systemd gained a new
> org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.AttachProcessesToUnit dbus call
> which can be used to migrate foreign processes to scope and service
> units. The primary user for this new API is systemd itself: the
> systemd --user instance uses this call of the systemd --system
> instance to migrate processes if it itself gets the request to
> migrate processes and the kernel refuses this due to access
> restrictions.  Thanks to this "systemd-run --scope --user …" works
> again in pure cgroups v2 environments when invoked from the user
> session scope.
>
> * A new TemporaryFileSystem= setting can be used to mask out part of
> the real file system tree with tmpfs mounts. This may be combined
> with BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths= to hide files or directories
> not relevant to the unit, while still allowing some paths lower in
> the tree to be accessed.
>
> ProtectHome=tmpfs may now be used to hide user home and runtime
> directories from units, in a way that is mostly equivalent to
> "TemporaryFileSystem=/home /run/user /root".
>
> * Non-service units are now started with KeyringMode=shared by
> default. This means that mount and swapon and other mount tools have
> access to keys in the main keyring.
>
> * /sys/fs/bpf is now mounted automatically.
>
> * QNX virtualization is now detected by systemd-detect-virt and may
> be used in ConditionVirtualization=.
>
> * IPAccounting= may now be enabled also for slice units.
>
> * A new -Dsplit-bin= build configuration switch may be used to
> specify whether bin and sbin directories are merged, or if they
> should be included separately in $PATH and various listings of
> executable directories. The build configuration scripts will try to
> autodetect the proper values of -Dsplit-usr= and -Dsplit-bin= based
> on build system, but distributions are encouraged to configure this
> explicitly.
>
> * A new -Dok-color= build configuration switch may be used to change
> the colour of "OK" status messages.
>
> * UPGRADE ISSUE: serialization of units using JoinsNamespaceOf= with
> PrivateNetwork=yes was buggy in previous versions of systemd. This
> means that after the upgrade and daemon-reexec, any such units must
> be restarted.
>
> * INCOMPATIBILITY: as announced in the NEWS for 237,
> systemd-tmpfiles will not exclude read-only files owned by root from
> cleanup.
