Since v183, the contents of /usr/lib/udev/devices is no longer copied to /dev
on boot, rather systemd-tmpfiles should be used instead. However, as
systemd-tmpfiles --create is only ran long after udevd has been started, it is
no longer possible to use udev rules to assign permissions to the static nodes.
This calls systemd-tmpfiles --create early, before udev is started, and
restricts the call to /dev, which is known to be mounted already.
In the future, this could also take over the creation of static device nodes
from systemd-udevd.
georgem> libsystemd-id128.so: undefined reference to `sd_listen_fds'
In some toolchains (--as-needed not used or not working), the
toolchain doesn't drop this dependency. It is introduced because
sd-id128.so is linked against sd-shared.la, and some functions therein
use libsystemd-daemon, but libsd-id128 doesn't use any of those
functions.
This results in no change in libsystemd-id128.so when the unused
symbols are properly stripped.
Implement this with a proper state machine, so that newlines and
escaped chars can appear in string assignments. This should bring the
parser much closer to shell.
Since journal-gatewayd is now running unprivileged, and detecting
virtalization requires privileges, query PID1 via D-Bus for the used
virtualization.
This is also the first time we use libsystemd-bus for more than just
testing.

This makes it easier to add substitutions to man pages,
avoiding the separate transformation step.
mkdir -p's are removed from the rule, because xsltproc will
will create directories on it's own.
All in all, two or three forks per man page are avoided,
which should make things marginally faster.
Unfortunately python parsers must too be tweaked to handle
entities. This isn't particularly easy: with lxml a custom
Resolver can be used, but the stdlib etree doesn't support
external entities *at all*. So when running without lxml,
the entities are just removed. Right now it doesn't matter,
since the entities are not indexed anyway. But I intend to
add indexing of filenames in the near future, and then the
index generated without lxml might be missing a few lines.
Oh well.
In order to write tests for the catalog functions, they
are made non-static and start taking a 'database' parameter,
which is the name of a file with the preprocessed catalog
entries.
This makes it possible to make test-catalog part of the
normal test suite, since it now only operates on files
in /tmp.
Some more tests are added.
Readahead has all sorts of bad side effects depending on your
storage media. On rotating disks, it may be degrading startup
performance if enough requests are queued spanning linearly
over all blocks early at boot, and mount, blkid and friends
want to insert reads to the start of these block devices after.
The end result is that on spinning disks with ext3/4 that udev
and mounts take a very long time, and nothing really happens until
readahead is completely finished.
This has the net effect that the CPU is almost entirely idle
for the entire period that readahead is working. We could have
finished starting up quite a lot of services in this time if
we were smarter at how we do readahead.
This patch sorts all requests into 2 second "chunks" and sub-sorts
each chunk by block. This adds a single cross-drive seek per "chunk"
but has the benefit that we will have a lot of the blocks we need
early on in the boot sequence loaded into memory faster.
For a comparison of how before/after bootcharts look (ext4 on a
mobile 5400rpm 250GB drive) please look at:
http://foo-projects.org/~sofar/blocked-tests/
There are bootcharts in the "before" and "after" folders where you
should be able to see that many low-level services finish 5-7
seconds earlier with the patch applied (after).
