logind: update documentation for cf7d1a30e44

logind: change default to UserTasksMax= to 4096

logind: add a new UserTasksMax= setting to logind.conf This new setting configures the TasksMax= field for the slice objects we create for each user. This alters logind to create the slice unit as transient unit explicitly instead of relying on implicit generation of slice units by simply starting them. This also enables us to set a friendly description for slice units that way.

login: make hold-off timeout configurable This introduces 'HoldoffTimeoutSec' to logind.conf to make IGNORE_LID_SWITCH_{SUSPEND,STARTUP}_USEC configurable. Background: If an external monitor is connected, or if the system is docked, we want to ignore LID events. This is required to support setups where a laptop is used with external peripherals while the LID is closed. However, this requires us to probe all hot-plugged devices before reacting to LID events. But with modern buses like USB, the standards do not impose any timeout on the slots, so we have no chance to know whether a given slot is used or not. Hence, after resume and startup, we have to wait a fixed timeout to give the kernel a chance to probe devices. Our timeout has always been generous enough to support even the slowest devices. However, a lot of people didn't use these features and wanted to disable the hold-off timer. Now we provide a knob to do that.

Do not advertise .d snippets over main config file For daemons which have a main configuration file, there's little reason for the administrator to use configuration snippets. They are useful for packagers which need to override settings, but we shouldn't advertise that as the main way of configuring those services. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89397

logind: Support logind.conf.d directories in the usual search paths This makes it possible to drop in logind configuration snippets from a package or other configuration management mechanism. Add documentation to the header of /etc/logind.conf pointing the user at /etc/logind.conf.d/*.conf. Introduce a new helper, conf_parse_many, to parse configuration files in a search path.

logind: add HandleLidSwitchDocked= option to logind.conf + documentation https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82485

logind: automatically remove SysV + POSIX IPC objects when the users owning them fully log out

logind: make $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR a per-user tmpfs This way each user allocates from his own pool, with its own size limit. This puts the size limit by default to 10% of the physical RAM size but makes it configurable in logind.conf.

logind: port over to use scopes+slices for all cgroup stuff In order to prepare things for the single-writer cgroup scheme, let's make logind use systemd's own primitives for cgroup management. Every login user now gets his own private slice unit, in which his sessions live in a scope unit each. Also, add user@$UID.service to the same slice, and implicitly start it on first login.

logind: add support for automatic suspend/hibernate/shutdown on idle

logind: split up HandleSleepKey= into HandleSuspendKey= and HandleHibernateKey= The kernel and X11 distuingish these two, and Thinkpad keys have both, hence we really should distinguish them too.

logind: rework power key/suspend key/lid switch handling http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006604.html https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680689 This changes the meaning of the HandlePowerKey=/HandleSleepKey=/HandleLidSwitch= setting of logind.conf

logind: make sure there's always a getty available on TTY6 Previously, if X allocated all 6 TTYs (for multi-session for example) no getty would be available anymore to guarantee console-based logins. With the new ReserveVT= switch in logind.conf we can now choose one VT (6 by default) that will always be subject to autovt-style activation, i.e. we'll always have a getty on TTY6, and X will never take possession of it.

journal: move Storage=auto stanza to right file

journald: add Storage= setting to control where the journal is stored

logind: rework button setting semantics If a graphical session without full DE that handles power/suspend events is used this can now be controlled by logind instead, optionally.

logind: optionally handle power, sleep and lid switch events This takes handling of chassis power and sleep keys as well as the lid switch over from acpid. This logic is enabled by default for power and sleep keys, but not for the lid switch. If a graphical session is in the foreground no action is taken under the assumption that the graphical session does this.

logind: implement delay inhibitor locks in addition to block inhibitor locks This is useful to allow applications to synchronously save data before the system is suspended or shut down.

relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions) 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.

rename /etc/systemd/systemd-{login,journal}d.conf to {login,journal}d.conf
