This didn't work during the initial conversion to meson, but should now.
A sufficiently new polkit is also required, for the .its rules files.
Note that https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/docs/markdown/i18n-module.md
says that 'install' argument was added in meson 0.43.0. If this is accurate,
warnigs might be generated with older mesons. Fedora has 0.43.0 across the
board, but other distros probably don't, but I guess that a warning is
prefereable to having to update do latest meson.
The advantages are:
- one less dependency (intltool)
- using the generic implementation instead of our open-coded calls
- we don't need to use the fake "_" prefixes in XML
Replaces #1609, fixes#7300.
Fixes#4871.
The new libmount has two changes relevant for us:
- x-* options are propagated to /run/mount/utab and are visible through
libmount (fixes#4817).
- umount -c now really works (partially solves #6115).
Commit also mentions that when running under valgrind we actually don't
execve() systemd-shutdown. We have a comment about this in the code, but
being upfront about this change in behavior doesn't hurt.
This reverts commit 4f5e972279.
Building with gperf 3.0 works just fine; we had an autoconf check to
determine the correct data types, and this check was ported to meson.
Everything else just is annoying, hence let's list this among the
requirements we make on the kernel in order to minimize confusion
leading to #6184 and suchlike.
libidn2 2.0.0 supports IDNA2008, in contrast to libidn which supports IDNA2003.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449145
From that bug report:
Internationalized domain names exist for quite some time (IDNA2003), although
the protocols describing them have evolved in an incompatible way (IDNA2008).
These incompatibilities will prevent applications written for IDNA2003 to
access certain problematic domain names defined with IDNA2008, e.g., faß.de is
translated to domain xn--fa-hia.de with IDNA2008, while in IDNA2003 it is
translated to fass.de domain. That not only causes incompatibility problems,
but may be used as an attack vector to redirect users to different web sites.
v2:
- keep libidn support
- require libidn2 >= 2.0.0
v3:
- keep dns_name_apply_idna caller dumb, and keep the #ifdefs inside of the
function.
- use both ±IDN and ±IDN2 in the version string
Compiling against the dm-ioctl.h header as provided by the Linux kernel
will embed the DM interface version number. Running an older kernel can
result in an error like this on shutdown:
Could not detach DM dm-11: ioctl mismatch, kernel(4.34.4), user(4.35.4)
Work around this by shipping a local copy of dm-ioctl.h. We need at
least the version from 3.13 for DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE [1], so bump the
requirements in README accordingly.

We should also mention this in NEWS before release. Suggested text:
> DBus policy files are now installed into /usr rather than /etc. Make sure
> your system has dbus = 1.9.18 running before upgrading to this version, or
> override the install path with --with-dbuspolicydir=
This commit rips out systemd-bootchart. It will be given a new home, outside
of the systemd repository. The code itself isn't actually specific to
systemd and can be used without systemd even, so let's put it somewhere
else.
As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.
Let's add an extra-safety net and change UID/GID to the "systemd-coredump" user when processing coredumps from system
user. For coredumps of normal users we keep the current logic of processing the coredumps from the user id the coredump
was created under.

util-linux 2.27.1 now entirely stops looking at /etc/mtab, so we don't need to
verify /etc/mtab during early boot any more. Later on, tmpfiles.d/etc.conf will
fix /etc/mtab anyway, so there's not even a point in warning about it.
Drop test_mtab() and bump the util-linux dependency to >= 2.17.1.
Fixes#1495
The current implementation directly monitor /proc/self/mountinfo and
/run/mount/utab files. It's really not optimal because utab file is
private libmount stuff without any official guaranteed semantic.
The libmount since v2.26 provides API to monitor mount kernel &
userspace changes and since v2.27 the monitor is usable for
non-root users too.
This patch replaces the current implementation with libmount based
solution.

We generally try to support 2y old kernels, which allows us bump the
minimal required version to 3.11 now.
Also, clarify that support for the unified cgroup hierarchy requires 4.2
or newer.
Introduce /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install [--root=] <action> <name>
abstraction, replacing the direct calling of chkconfig. This allows
distributions to call their specific tools like update-rc.d without patching
systemd.
Ship systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON as an example for packagers how to implement
this.
Drop the --enable-chkconfig configure option.
Document this in README and point to it in NEWS.
This patch simplify swapon usage in systemd. The command swapon(8)
since util-linux v2.26 supports "-o <list>". The idea is exactly the
same like for mount(8). The -o specifies options in fstab-compatible
way. For systemd it means that it does not have to care about things
like "discard" or another swapon specific options.
swapon -o <options-from-fstab>
For backward compatibility the code cares about "Priority:" swap unit
field (for a case when Priority: is set, but pri= in the Options: is
missing).

tcpwrap is legacy code, that is barely maintained upstream. It's APIs
are awful, and the feature set it exposes (such as DNS and IDENT
access control) questionnable. We should not support this natively in
systemd.
Hence, let's remove the code. If people want to continue making use of
this, they can do so by plugging in "tcpd" for the processes they start.
With that scheme things are as well or badly supported as they were from
traditional inetd, hence no functionality is really lost.
gold doesn't exhibit the problems with linking of compatibility
libraries.

Let's try to standardize on a single non-cryptographic hash algorithm,
and for that SipHash appears to be the best answer.
With this change there are two other hash functions left in systemd: an
older version of MurmurHash embedded into libudev for the bloom filters
in udev messages (which is hard to update, given that the we probably
should stay compatible with older versions of the library). And lookup3
in the journal files (which we could replace for new files, but which is
probably not worth the work).
* library support for setns() system call was added to glibc
version 2.14 (setns() call is use in src/machine/machinectl.c
and src/libsystemd-bus-container.c)
* utf8 validation call are already exported (via sd-utf8.c file) -

SMACK is the Simple Mandatory Access Control Kernel, a minimal
approach to Access Control implemented as a kernel LSM.
The kernel exposes the smackfs filesystem API through which access
rules can be loaded. At boot time, we want to load the access rules
as early as possible to ensure all early boot steps are checked by Smack.
This patch mounts smackfs at the new location at /sys/fs/smackfs for
kernels 3.8 and above. The /smack mountpoint is not supported.
After mounting smackfs, rules are loaded from the usual location.
For more information about Smack see:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Smack.txt
Previously all journal files were owned by "adm". In order to allow
specific users to read the journal files without granting it access to
the full "adm" powers, introduce a new specific group for this.
"systemd-journal" has to be created by the packaging scripts manually at
installation time. It's a good idea to assign a static UID/GID to this
group, since /var/log/journal might be shared across machines via NFS.
This commit also grants read access to the journal files by default to
members of the "wheel" and "adm" groups via file system ACLs, since
these "almost-root" groups should be able to see what's going on on the
system. These ACLs are created by "make install". Packagers probably
need to duplicate this logic in their postinst scripts.
This also adds documentation how to grant access to the journal to
additional users or groups via fs ACLs.
This minimal HTTP server can serve journal data via HTTP. Its primary
purpose is synchronization of journal data across the network. It serves
journal data in three formats:
text/plain: the text format known from /var/log/messages
application/json: the journal entries formatted as JSON
application/vnd.fdo.journal: the binary export format of the journal
The HTTP server also serves a small HTML5 app that makes use of the JSON
serialization to present the journal data to the user.
Examples:
This downloads the journal in text format:
# systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.service
# wget http://localhost:19531/entries
Same for JSON:
# curl -H"Accept: application/json" http://localhost:19531/entries
Access via web browser:
$ firefox http://localhost:19531/
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
