The actual minimum size of the pool across supported kernel versions is
32 bytes. So adjust this minimum.
I've audited every single usage of random_pool_size(), and cannot see
anywhere that this would have any impact at all on anything. We could
actually just not change the constant and everything would be fine, or
we could change it here and that's fine too. From both a functionality
and crypto perspective, it doesn't really seem to make a substantive
difference any which way, so long as the value is ≥32. However, it's
better to be correct and have the function do what it says, so clamp it
to the right minimum.
systemd-udev-trigger.service by default triggeres all devices regardless
of whether they were already recognized by systemd-udevd.
There are machines (especially in embedded environments) where
systemd-udev-trigger.service is configured to run at a later stage of
the boot sequence, which can lead to quite a lot of devices being
triggered although they were already recognized by systemd-udevd.
Re-triggering a lot of devices is a relatively expensive operation and
therefore should be avoided if unnecessary.
Therefore this patch introduces --initialized-nomatch, which filters out
devices that are already present in the udev database. For consistance
reasons --initialized-match is implemented as well, which filters out devices
that are *not* already present in the udev database.
Replaces #19949.

and devices are sorted when the iteration started.
Previously, devices added by udev_enumerate_add_syspath() ->
device_enumerator_add_device() are not sorted. This fixes the issue.
This new file is supposed to address conflicts with Fedora/Grub's
frankenbootloaderspec implementation, that squatted the /loader/entries/
dir, but place incompatible files in them (that do variable expansion?).
A simple text file /loader/entries.srel shall indicate which spec is
implemented. If it contains the string "type1\n" then the
/loader/entries/ directory implements our standard spec, otherwise
something else.
So, typically systemd-boot is referenced as sd-boot, due to te usual
shorter naming in ESP resources. systemd-stub didnt do that so far,
since it never appears as separate files in the ESP. However it's super
annoying that you can find "man sd-boot", but not the very closely
related "man sd-stub". Let's fix that, and also add an "sd-stub" alias
to the "systemd-stub" man page.
So (maybe weirdly) loader.conf(5) documents both loader.conf and type #1
entries (because they share a similar syntax). But it then only lists
the options of loader.conf. Let's add an explicit hint where to find
the documentation of the type #1 entries.
The old text was simply wrong, we used to read $layout from
/etc/kernel/install.conf and the machine ID from
$KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID from /etc/machine-info. Correct that.
Apparently KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID was already known back in v235
times, hence don't mention it anymore.
it's kinda weird retro-fixing these NEWS entries, given we deprecate
them again, but I couldn't let this really incorrect stuff be.
