The path_id-builtin provides useful unique aliases for DRM devices. If we
want to configure DRM render-nodes for compositors, we want to avoid
storing the whole sys-path in configuration files. Hence, allow users to
store the short PATH_ID instead.
Load path_id-builtin unconditionally on DRM devices now to always provide
this alias.
This introduces a new key NamePolicy, which takes an ordered list of naming
policies. The first successful one is applide. If all fail the value of Name
(if any) is used.
The possible policies are 'onboard', 'slot', 'path' and 'mac'.
This patch introduces a default link file, which replaces the equivalent udev
rule.
This tool applies hardware specific settings to network devices before they
are announced via libudev.
Settings that will probably eventually be supported are MTU, Speed,
DuplexMode, WakeOnLan, MACAddress, MACAddressPolicy (e.g., 'hardware',
'synthetic' or 'random'), Name and NamePolicy (replacing our current
interface naming logic). This patch only introduces support for
Description, as a proof of concept.
Some of these settings may later be overriden by a network management
daemon/script. However, these tools should always listen and wait on libudev
before touching a device (listening on netlink is not enough). This is no
different from how things used to be, as we always supported changing the
network interface name from udev rules, which does not work if someone
has already started using it.
The tool is configured by .link files in /etc/net/links/ (with the usual
overriding logic in /run and /lib). The first (in lexicographical order)
matching .link file is applied to a given device, and all others are ignored.
The .link files contain a [Match] section with (currently) the keys
MACAddress, Driver, Type (see DEVTYPE in udevadm info) and Path (this
matches on the stable device path as exposed as ID_PATH, and not the
unstable DEVPATH). A .link file matches a given device if all of the
specified keys do. Currently the keys are treated as plain strings,
but some limited globbing may later be added to the keys where it
makes sense.
Example:
/etc/net/links/50-wireless.link
[Match]
MACAddress=98:f2:e4:42:c6:92
Path=pci-0000:02:00.0-bcma-0
Type=wlan
[Link]
Description=The wireless link
Changing the default MODE= for the group accessi, but not specifying
a GROUP= does not provide anything.
It disables the default logic that the mode switches to 0660 as soon
as a GROUP= is specifed, which make custom rules uneccesarily complicated.

Devices should show up in systemd regardless whether the user invoked
"udevadm trigger" or not. Before this change some devices might have
suddenly disappeared due issuing that command.
Since the kernel no longer exposes a large number of "dead" loop devices
it is OK to expose them now in systemd, so let's do that. This has the
benefit that mount dependencies on loop devices start to work.
Much like for rfkill devices we should provide some stability regarding
enumeration order, hence include the stable bits of the device path in
the file name we store settings under.
Let's include the stable device path for the rfkill devices in the name
of the file we store the rfkill state in, so that we have some stability
regarding enumeration order.
As many laptops don't save/restore screen brightness across reboots,
let's do this in systemd with a minimal tool, that restores the
brightness as early as possible, and saves it as late as possible. This
will cover consoles and graphical logins, but graphical desktops should
do their own per-user stuff probably.
This only touches firmware brightness controls for now.

Otherwise, when a network device is renamed, systemd-sysctl is run twice
with the same network device name: once for ACTION="add" and once for
ACTION="move".
Partially revert 2b3c81b02f, which
tried to avoid inconsistent rules about when and how to create the
/dev/rtc symlink.
Instead of conditionally or not creating the /dev/rtc link at all,
now always create it with additional and more reliable udev rules.
First try to find the "system rtc" with the hctosys flag, if this
is not found, fall back to create the link for /dev/rtc0.
Our code now never actively searches for the "system rtc" it can
always use /dev/rtc.
The export of the RTCs hctosys flag is uneccesary, the kernel takes care
of the persistemt clock management itself, without any need for:
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
"Chaotic hardware platforms" without native kernel persistent clock
support will find the proper RTC with the logic rtc_open() without
the need for a custom symlink.
