oomd: Fix unnecessary delays during OOM kills with pending kills present
Let's say a user has two services with ManagedOOMMemoryPressure=kill,
perhaps a web server under system.slice and a batch job under
user.slice. Both exceed their pressure limits. On the previous timer
tick, oomd has already queued the web server's candidate for killing,
but the prekill hook has not yet responded, so the kill is still
pending.
In the code, monitor_memory_pressure_contexts_handler() iterates over
all pressure targets that have exceeded their limits. When it reaches
the web server target and calls oomd_cgroup_kill_mark(), which returns 0
because that cgroup is already queued. The code treats this the same as
a successful new kill: it resets the 15 second delay timer and returns
from the function, exiting the loop.
This loop is handled by SET_FOREACH and the iteration order is
hash-dependent. As such, if the web server target happens coincidentally
to be visited first, oomd never evaluates the batch job target at all.
The effect is twofold:
1. oomd stalls for 15 seconds despite not having initiated any new kill.
That can unnecessarily delay further action to stem increases in
memory pressure. The delay exists to let stale pressure counters
settle after a kill, but no kill has happened here.
2. It non-deterministically skips pressure targets that may have
unqueued candidates, dangerously allowing memory pressure to persist
for longer than it should.
Fix this by skipping cgroups that are already queued so the loop
proceeds to try other pressure targets. We should only delay when a new
kill mark is actually created.

oomd: Fix silent failure to find bad cgroups when another cgroup dies
Consider a workload slice with several sibling cgroups. Imagine that one
of those cgroups is removed between the moment oomd enumerates the
directory and the moment it reads memory.oom.group. This is actually
relatively plausible under the high memory pressure conditions where
oomd is most needed.
In this case, the failed read prompts us to `return 0`, which exits the
entire enumeration loop in recursively_get_cgroup_context(). As a
result, all remaining sibling cgroups are silently dropped from the
candidate list for that monitoring cycle.
The effect is that oomd can fail to identify and kill the actual
offending cgroup, allowing memory pressure to persist until a subsequent
cycle where the race doesn't occur.
Fix this by instead proceeding to evaluate further sibling cgroups.
Let's say a user has two services with ManagedOOMMemoryPressure=kill,
one for a web server under system.slice, and one for a batch job under
user.slice. The batch job is causing severe memory pressure, whereas the
web server's cgroup has no processes with significant pgscan activity.
In the code, monitor_memory_pressure_contexts_handler() iterates over
all pressure targets that have exceeded their limits. When
oomd_select_by_pgscan_rate() returns 0 (that is, no candidates) for a
target, we return from the entire SET_FOREACH loop instead of moving to
the next target. Since SET_FOREACH iteration order is hash-dependent, if
the web server target happens to be visited first, oomd will find no
kill candidates for it and exit the loop. The batch job target that is
actually slamming the machine will never even be evaluated, and can
continue to wreak havoc without any intervention.
The effect is that oomd non-deterministically and silently fails to kill
cgroups that it should actually kill, allowing memory pressure to
persist and dangerously build up on the machine.
The fix is simple, keep evaluating remaining targets when one does not
match.
These were introduced as part of the effort of sd-executor
worker pool (#29566), which never landed due to unsignificant
performance improvement. Let's just remove the unused
helpers. If that work ever gets resurrected they can be
restored from this commit pretty easily.

dns-delegates: add support for setting a firewall mark
This makes it possible to have DNS requests for certain domains routed
differently than normal requests, which is for instance useful when
using policy routing to route traffic over a VPN but DNS requests for
the VPN endpoint itself, should be routed differently.
It doesn't make much sense to configure a firewall mark at the level of
a network interface, but at the level of a DNS delegate it can be very
useful.

The commit introduced a new "metrics" varlink server, but for
user scope stuff it is not bound anywhere. The copy-pasted
"fresh" handling for deserialization is also essentially
meaningless as metrics_setup_varlink_server() doesn't even report
whether the varlink server is fresh (let alone that no serialization
is being done at all right now). Moreover, currently the event
priority is hardcoded, while event loop and associated priority
assignment ought to be subject to each daemon.
While fixing the mentioned issues I took the chance to restructure
the existing code a bit for readability. Note that serialization
for the metrics server is still missing - it will be tackled
in subsequent commits.

udev: guess if usb devices are internal external (#40649)
Actually we are defining databases to determine when a usb device is
inherent part of the system or if it's a external device.
Let's use the removable attribute of the port where it is connected to
say that. That gives us the ability to not rely on a particular vendor
only does external devices or to not having the need to be quirking
input subsystem for that purpose that will become unreliable as more and
more internal devices are connected over usb instead over ps2 or i2c
buses. Eg.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/commit/02b495e79022e64514015e1a3dea32997035dd4f?merge_request_iid=1389
Actually this has been seen as reliable in a small set of device from
normal laptops, to detachable ones. The need to check maxchild is 0 is
for detachable devices, pogo pin usbs are fixed, while we attach the
keyboard|touchpad dock the input devices tend to be directly connected
to that port and if the dock has more usbs tend to be a hub that then
exposes removable as unknow. If we don't set maxchild 0 we will not only
guess that the keyboard and touchpad are internal but also incorrectly
other input devices like mice connected to the dock's usb ports.
I have use a very generic name like INTEGRATION because is not actually
used for any other thing and is used to determine not only over usb bus
but for acpi, pci, platform actually.
Also a remap to actual libinput variables is done for compatibility
purposes. if it's possible to have only the INTEGRATION variable instead
multiple ones will be done in the future but is actually unclear.
This can also be used for example to achieve an actual feature that we
lack in linux, when a device with accelerometers and cameras is rotated
the video output is not, this tag the own device cameras as internal
while external ones as external to be able to only do that for the
internal ones.
Note that this has nothing to do with the removable attribute found in
usb storage devices where it's values can be 0 or 1. There is no
conflict at all because the removable attribute we check is specifically
the one found in usb port ones.
Actually GNOME sets a clamp of 1% and divides in 20 steps the brightness
control. Using 5% clamp makes things like in a device with max value 640
to always be in the first brightness step in GNOME and we can't leave in
the minimum.
GNOME set steps of 640/20 = 32 with the zero step 640 * 1% = 6. When we
restart the device with the lowest bright systemd sees 6 but sets
640 * 5% = 32, so we get the brightness in the first step.
Tests in IPS and OLED panels have been done and 1% still seems a
comprensive minimun usable value so use that to allow all environments
to be able to set lower brightness values that won't be raised by
systemd at boot.
If your user enviroment allow to set excesive lower unusable values you
should blame it or yourself if you directle changes it through sysfs but
not systemd.
