networkd: link - drop foreign config when configuring link
This is a change in behavior:
Before we would never remove any state, only add to it, we now drop unwanted
state from any link the moment we start managing it.
Note however, that we still will not remove any foreign state added at runtime,
to avoid any feedback loops. However, we make no guarantees about coexisting
with third-party tools that change the state of the links we manage.

networkd: link - track state of IPv6LL address
This is managed by the kernel, but we should track whether or not we have
a configured IPv6LL address. This fixes two issues:
- we now wait for IPv6LL before considering the link ready
- we now wait for IPv6LL before attempting to do NDisc or DHCPv6
these protocols relies on an LL address being available.

networkd: ndisc - handle router advertisement in userspace
Router Discovery is a core part of IPv6, which by default is handled by the kernel.
However, the kernel implementation is meant as a fall-back, and to fully support
the protocol a userspace implementation is desired.
The protocol essentially listens for Router Advertisement packets from routers
on the local link and use these to configure the client automatically. The four
main pieces of information are: what kind (if any) of DHCPv6 configuration should
be performed; a default gateway; the prefixes that should be considered to be on
the local link; and the prefixes with which we can preform SLAAC in order to pick
a global IPv6 address.
A lot of additional information is also available, which we do not yet fully
support, but which will eventually allow us to avoid the need for DHCPv6 in the
common case.
Short-term, the reason for wanting this is in userspace was the desire to fully
track all the addresses on links we manage, and that is not possible for addresses
managed by the kernel (as the kernel does not expose to us the fact that it
manages these addresses). Moreover, we would like to support stable privacy
addresses, which will soon be mandated and the legacy MAC-based global addresses
deprecated, to do this well we need to handle the generation in userspace. Lastly,
more long-term we wish to support more RA options than what the kernel exposes.
The previous behavior:
When DHCPv6 was enabled, router discover was performed first, and then DHCPv6 was
enabled only if the relevant flags were passed in the Router Advertisement message.
Moreover, router discovery was performed even if AcceptRouterAdvertisements=false,
moreover, even if router advertisements were accepted (by the kernel) the flags
indicating that DHCPv6 should be performed were ignored.
New behavior:
If RouterAdvertisements are accepted, and either no routers are found, or an
advertisement is received indicating DHCPv6 should be performed, the DHCPv6
client is started. Moreover, the DHCP option now truly enables the DHCPv6
client regardless of router discovery (though it will probably not be
very useful to get a lease withotu any routes, this seems the more consistent
approach).
The recommended default setting should be to set DHCP=ipv4 and to leave
IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements unset.

networkd: dhcp6 - split up configure() method
Enabling address acquisition, configuring the client and starting the client are now
split out. This to better handle the client being repeatedly enabled due to router
advertisements.

sd-ndisc: introduce separate callbacks
As the data passed is very different, we introduce four different callbacks:
- Generic - router discovery timed out or state machine stopped
- Router - router and link configuration received
- Prefix onlink - configuration for an onlink prefix received
- Prefix autonomous - configuration for to configure a SLAAC address for a prefix received

sd-netlink: types - let tables be sized implicitly
This way we do not rely on the size MAX* constants from the kernel headers, as these will
be out-of-sync in case we have old headers and new defines in missing.h.
Of course, ideally we'd just use normal synchronous bus calls, but this
is out of the question as long as we rely on dbus-daemon (which logs to
journald, and thus cannot use to avoid cyclic sync loops). Hence,
instead, reuse the wait logic already implemented for --sync, and use a
signal in one direction, and a mtime watch file for the reply.
journalctl: add new --sync switch for syncing the journal to disk
With this new "--sync" switch we add a synchronous way to sync
everything queued to disk, and return only after that's complete. This
command gives the guarantee that anything queued before has hit the disk
before the command returns.
While we are at it, also improve the man pages and help text for
journalctl a bit.
Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd
developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they
existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted
without harm.
The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system
is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire...
and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo"
those changes, which isn't really possible.
Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking
that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone,
and snapshots cannot be created anymore.
New systemctl says:
Unknown operation snapshot.
Old systemctl says:
Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed.
IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored:
Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored
btrfs: when querying quota, make sure we don't choke if quota is disabled
When quota is disabled there's no quota tree on the fs, which results in
the SEARCH ioctl to return ENOENT. Handle this nicely: treat this the
same way as the case where the quota tree is around but doesn't carry
the searched for fields.
core: change type of distribute_fds() prototype to return void
We can't handle errors of thisc all sanely anyway, and we never actually
return any errors from the unit type that implements the call. Hence,
let's make this void, in order to simplify things.
core: change return value of the unit's enumerate() call to void
We cannot handle enumeration failures in a sensible way, hence let's try
hard to continue without making such failures fatal, and log about it
with precise error messages.
* remove journal flushing (systemd-journal-flush.service runs journalctl --flush on boot)
* use sh -c and PATH instead of @SYSTEMCTL@ expansion
* remove unnecessary semicolons etc
parse-util: really refuse parsing negative values as positive ones, even on x86-32
strtoull() doesn't make it particularly easy to detect passed-in
negative numbers, as it silently converts them to positive ones without
generating any error. Since we are not interested in negative values we
should hence explicitly filter them out by looking at the string
directly and returning ERANGE if we see a leading "-".
time-util: add parse_time(), which is like parse_sec() but allows specification of default time unit if none is specified
This is useful if we want to parse RLIMIT_RTTIME values where the common
UNIX syntax is without any units but refers to a non-second unit (µs in
this case), but where we want to allow specification of units.
The macro is generically useful for putting together search paths, hence
let's make it truly generic, by dropping the implicit ".d" appending it
does, and leave that to the caller. Also rename it from
CONF_DIRS_NULSTR() to CONF_PATHS_NULSTR(), since it's not strictly about
dirs that way, but any kind of file system path.
Also, mark CONF_DIR_SPLIT_USR() as internal macro by renaming it to
_CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR() so that the leading underscore indicates that
it's internal.
virt: make sure that we detect unknown container managers as VIRTUALIZATION_CONTAINER_OTHER
If we don't know a container manager, we should consider it as "other"
rather than as no container manager at all, to provide a somwhat useful
upgrade path.
test-execute: Fix systemd escaping and shell issues
In most cases, systemd requires escaping $ (for systemd variable
substitution) and % (for specifiers) by doubling them. This was somewhat
of an issue in tests like exec-environment*.service where systemd was
doing the substitutions and we were not really checking that those were
available in the actual environment of the command. Fix that.
Expressions such as `exit $(test ...)` are incorrect. They only work
because $(test ...) will produce no output, so the command will become a
bare "exit" which will exit with the status of the latest executed
command which turns out to be the test... The direct approach is simply
calling "test" as the last command, for which the shell will propagate
the exit status.
One situation where this was breaking tests was on `exit $(test ...) &&
$(test ...) && $(test ...)` where the second and third tests were not
really executing, since the first command is actually `exit` so && was
doing nothing there. Fixed it by just using `test ... && test ... &&
test ...` as it was initially intended.
Pass -x to all shell executions for them to produce useful debugging
output to stderr. Consequently, removed most of the explicit `echo`s
that are no longer needed.
Mark all units as Type=oneshot explicitly.
Also made sure all shell variables are properly quoted.
v2: Added an explicit LC_ALL=C to ionice invocations since some locales
(such as French) will add a space before the colon in the output.
Tested by running `sudo ./test-execute` and confirming all tests enabled
on my system (essentially all of them except for the s390 one) passed.
Tweaked the variables or options or expected values and confirmed the
tests do indeed fail when the values are not exactly the expected ones.
v2: Also tested with `LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 sudo ./test-execute` to confirm
it still works in a different locale.
