When the target (Where=) of a mount does not exist, systemd tries to
create it. But previously, it'd always been created as a directory. That
doesn't work if one wants to bind-mount a file to a target that doesn't
exist.
Fixes: #17184
This was dropped on reviewers' request in the revision that got merged,
but reference in two documents was not updated. Fix it.

Now that we have ukify and mkosi has been updated to use it, we
have a solution in place to make sure that PE sections don't overlap
in a UKI so let's drop the workaround to avoid overlapping PE sections.
Let's make sure we're testing with the latest changes in mkosi. This
includes both the switch to systemd-repart and ukify, making sure we
get extra testing coverage for those components.
This also drops options from the centos config that have been removed
in the newer mkosi.
For some reason idmapping runs into some issues so we disable it for
now.
Since the directory is configurable via -Dsysvinit-path= during build,
it makes the test fail on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, where it's set to
/etc/rc.d/init.d, instead of the default /etc/init.d. Since we can't get
the value at runtime (in a reasonable manner), let's just support the
two most common paths for now.

We likely always want to open the directory via a slink.
There's currently only one caller so it doesn't make any difference in practice
but I think it's still nicer.
No functional change.
On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora this directory is provided by the chkconfig or

Previously mere MemoryLow= directive would lead to emitting the compat

though it carries little information.
Let's explicitly let btrfs know when we're done using a loop device.
Otherwise, btrfs will keep the device UUID cached which will result
in mount() failures if we ever generate a device or filesystem with
the same UUID again.
When a new wireless network interface is created by the kernel, it emits
both RTM_NEWLINK and NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE. These events can arrive
in either order and networkd must behave correctly in both cases.
The typical case is that RTM_NEWLINK is handled first, in which case
networkd creates a Link object and starts tracking it. When the
NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE message is handled, networkd then populates
the Link object with relevant wireless properties such as wireless
interface type (managed, AP, etc.).
In the event that the order is reversed however, networkd will fail to
populate these wireless properties because at the time of processing the
nl80211 message, the link is considered unknown. In that case, a debug
message is emitted:
systemd-networkd[467]: nl80211: received new_interface(7) message for link '109' we don't know about, ignoring.
This is problematic because after the subsequent RTM_NEWLINK message,
networkd will have an incomplete view of the link. In particular, if a
.network configuration matches on some of the missing wireless
properties, such as WLANInterfaceType=, then it will never match.
The above race can be reproduced by using the mac80211_hwsim driver.
Suppose that there exists a .network configuration:
[Match]
WLANInterfaceType=ap
...
Now loop the creation/destruction of such an AP interface:
while true
do
iw dev wlan0 interface add uap0 type __ap
iw dev uap0 del
done
The above debug message from networkd will then be observed very
quickly. And in that event, the .network file will fail to match.
To address the above race, have the nl80211 message handler store the
interface index in a set in case a Link object is not found on
NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE. The handler for RTM_NEWLINK can then query
this set, and explicitly request the wireless properties from nl80211
upon the creation of the Link object.

systemctl is called many times by dnf or so, and missing /proc/ is not
a user's fault, but package manager's issue.
With this commit, we can suppress the warning by updating rpm macros if
necessary.
Before this patch the only way to prevent journald from reading the audit
messages was to mask systemd-journald-audit.socket. However this had main
drawback that downstream couldn't ship the socket disabled by default (beside
the fact that masking units is not supposed to be the usual way to disable
them).
Fixes#15777
Originally, people used "extend a PCR with a measurement" or
"measure some blob into the PCR". In our docs those uses got merged
into "extend a string into a PCR". The meaning is clear to developers, but
it's a very jargony syntax that wouldn't make any sense to somebody who encounters
it the first time. Let's return to the more natural original phrasing.
Also, change various "this is supposed to act as" to "this acts as". If it
doesn't work, we have a bug to fix. This indirection is not useful.
Also, "boot path" → "phase path" and other smaller cleanups.
Fixes#25780.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

This is a bit awkward, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

It was correct, but I added a comma to make the sense clearer.

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

We use <filename>systemd-logind</> on subsequent references… I think that's good enough.

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

The man page doesn't seem to be in any of the canonical places on the web.
I added a link to online docs.

Meson started warning when 'setup' is not used:
WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.
Also add more quoting in output to make the message clearer.
This returns an ssize_t, not an int. On populare archs that's the
difference between 64bit and 32bit. hence, let's be more careful here,
and not silently drop half the bits on the ground by assigning the
return value to "int".
