Add the first 3270 terminal device that is associated with the Linux preferred
console to the list of virtualization consoles. This is required to
automatically start a getty if the conmode=3270 kernel parameter is specified
for Linux on z/VM instances. Note that a queued upstream patch also enable
the 3270 terminal device if it is associated with the Linux preferred console.
How
To successfully start agetty on a 3270 terminal, a change in the agetty
parameter order is required. Previously, agetty would started like this:
/sbin/agetty --keep-baud 3270/tty1 115200,38400,9600 TERM
The agetty program interprets the "3270/tty1" as baud rate and fails to start
with the "bad speed: 3270/tty1" error message. Fixing this in agetty is more
complex rather than reordering the command line parameters like this:
/sbin/agetty --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 3270/tty1 TERM
According to agetty sources and "agetty --help", agetty accepts the "tty",
"baudrate tty", and "tty baudrate" specifications.
P.S. The "tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute" introduces
a change to display the terminal device which is associated with the
Linux preferred console. This change helps to let systemd handle this
particular case only. Without the changes of this commit, no additional
3270 terminal device can be managed by systemd.

Before it was placed in /dev/disk/by-id, which makes it a bit too much
API. However, it's mostly an implementation detail for now, hence move
it out of the stable block device dir.
Check existence of loop/backing_file in sysfs and mark loop devices with
SYSTEMD_READY if missing. Such loop files is uninitialized and it's not
ready for use yet (there's no file attached).
udev seems to have a race condition with swapon to see which can open
/dev/zram0 first, causing swapon to fail. Seems to be most noticeable
on arm devices one out of every 7 times or something.
Ensure to start getty programs on all essential system consoles on Linux on
System z. Add these essential devices to the list of virtualization_consoles
to always generate getty configurations.
For the sake of completion, the list of essential consoles is:
/dev/sclp_line0 - Operating system messages applet (LPAR)
/dev/ttysclp0 - Integrated ASCII console applet (z/VM and LPAR)
/dev/ttyS0 - Already handled by systemd (3215 console on z/VM)
/dev/hvc0 - Already handled by systemd (IUCV HVC terminal on z/VM)
Depending on the environment, z/VM or LPAR, only a subset of these terminals
are available.
See also RH BZ 860158[1] "Cannot login via Operating System Console into RHEL7
instance installed on a LPAR". This bugzilla actually blocks the installation
of Linux on System z instances in LPAR mode.

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.
