REQUIREMENTS:
- Linux kernel >= 3.7
- Linux kernel >= 3.8 for Smack support
+ Linux kernel >= 3.11
+ Linux kernel >= 4.2 for unified cgroup hierarchy support
Kernel Config Options:
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS
CONFIG_SECCOMP
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE (for the kcmp() syscall)
- Required for CPUShares in resource control unit settings
+ Required for CPUShares= in resource control unit settings
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
- Required for CPUQuota in resource control unit settings
+ Required for CPUQuota= in resource control unit settings
CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH
For systemd-bootchart, several proc debug interfaces are required:
CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION
+ We recommend to turn off Real-Time group scheduling in the
+ kernel when using systemd. RT group scheduling effectively
+ makes RT scheduling unavailable for most userspace, since it
+ requires explicit assignment of RT budgets to each unit whose
+ processes making use of RT. As there's no sensible way to
+ assign these budgets automatically this cannot really be
+ fixed, and it's best to disable group scheduling hence.
+ CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n
+
Note that kernel auditing is broken when used with systemd's
container code. When using systemd in conjunction with
containers, please make sure to either turn off auditing at
glibc >= 2.16
libcap
- libmount >= 2.20 (from util-linux)
+ libmount >= 2.27.1 (from util-linux)
libseccomp >= 1.0.0 (optional)
libblkid >= 2.24 (from util-linux) (optional)
libkmod >= 15 (optional)
During runtime, you need the following additional
dependencies:
- util-linux >= v2.26 required
+ util-linux >= v2.27.1 required
dbus >= 1.4.0 (strictly speaking optional, but recommended)
dracut (optional)
PolicyKit (optional)
- When building from git, you need the following additional
- dependencies:
+ When building from git, the following tools are needed:
pkg-config
docbook-xsl
gperf
python (optional)
python-lxml (optional, but required to build the indices)
- sphinx (optional)
+
+ The build system is initialized with ./autogen.sh. A tar ball
+ can be created with:
+ git archive --format=tar --prefix=systemd-222/ v222 | xz > systemd-222.tar.xz
When systemd-hostnamed is used, it is strongly recommended to
install nss-myhostname to ensure that, in a world of
under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
if nss-myhostname is not installed.
- To build HTML documentation for python-systemd using sphinx,
- please first install systemd (using 'make install'), and then
- invoke sphinx-build with 'make sphinx-<target>', with <target>
- being 'html' or 'latexpdf'. If using DESTDIR for installation,
- pass the same DESTDIR to 'make sphinx-html' invocation.

USERS AND GROUPS:
Default udev rules use the following standard system group
names, which need to be resolvable by getgrnam() at any time,
needs to look like, and provide an implementation at the marked places.
WARNINGS:
- systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
- symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
- proper symlink.
+ systemd will freeze execution during boot if /etc/mtab exists
+ but is not a symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that
+ /etc/mtab is a proper symlink.
systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
false positives will be triggered by code which violates
some rules but is actually safe.
+ Currently, systemd-timesyncd defaults to use the Google NTP
+ servers if not specified otherwise at configure time. You
+ really should not ship an OS or device with this default
+ setting. See DISTRO_PORTING for details.
