logind/systemctl: introduce SetWallMessage and --message Enable unprivileged users to set wall message on a shutdown operation. When the message is set via the --message option, it is logged together with the default shutdown message. $ systemctl reboot --message "Applied kernel updates." $ journalctl -b -1 ... systemd-logind[27]: System is rebooting. (Applied kernel updates.) ...

logind: bring bus policy up-to-date A while back we opened up all of logind's bus calls to unprivileged users, via PK. However, the dbus1 policy wasn't updated accordingly. With this change, the dbus1 policy is opened up for all bus calls that should be available to unprivileged clients. (also rearranges some calls in the vtable, to make more sense, and be in line with the order in the bus policy file) Fixes #471.

logind,systemctl: add reboot to EFI firmware support

login: Allow calling org.freedesktop.login1.Seat.SwitchTo

bus: introduce "trusted" bus concept and encode access control in object vtables Introduces a new concept of "trusted" vs. "untrusted" busses. For the latter libsystemd-bus will automatically do per-method access control, for the former all access is automatically granted. Per-method access control is encoded in the vtables: by default all methods are only accessible to privileged clients. If the SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED flag is set for a method it is accessible to unprivileged clients too. By default whether a client is privileged is determined via checking for its CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, but this can be altered via the SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() macro that can be ORed into the flags field of the method. Writable properties are also subject to SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED and SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() for controlling write access to them. Note however that read access is unrestricted, as PropertiesChanged messages might send out the values anyway as an unrestricted broadcast. By default the system bus is set to "untrusted" and the user bus is "trusted" since per-method access control on the latter is unnecessary. On dbus1 busses we check the UID of the caller rather than the configured capability since the capability cannot be determined without race. On kdbus the capability is checked if possible from the attached meta-data of a message and otherwise queried from the sending peer. This also decorates the vtables of the various daemons we ship with these flags.

logind: allow unprivileged session-device access The session-device/control API was introduced for unprivileged device access from within a session. Add the required dbus policy to the default logind policies. Note: logind validates that only root and the user of a session can use the API. Furthermore, only a single API user gets access at a time.

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.
