test-compress-benchmark: limit default runtime to 2 seconds per subtest
If both lz4 and xz are enabled, this results in a limit of
2×3×2 s ~= 12 s runtime.
Previous implementation started with really small buffer sizes. When
combined with a short time limit this resulteded in abysmal results for xz.
It seems that the initialization overead is really significant for small
buffers. Since xz will not be used by default anymore, this does not
seem worth fixing. Instead buffer sizes are changed to run a
pseudo-random non-repeating pattern. This should allow reasonable testing
for all buffer sizes. For testing, both runtime and the buffer size seed
can be specified on the command line. Sufficiently large runtime allows
all buffer sizes up to 1MB to be tested.
compress: return errors without logging, do not fake errno
Logging for compression and decompression is assymetrical on purpose:
if compiled without some type of compression, those compression code
paths should never be invoked. OTOH, it is possible to encounter
unsupported format on decompression, so leave those log_debug statements
in, to make it easier to diagnose stuff.
This converts the stream compression to use the new lz4frame api,
compatible with lz4cat. Previous code used custom headers, so the
compressed file was not compatible with lz4 command line tools.
I considered this the last blocker to using lz4 by default.
Speed seems to be reasonable, although a bit (a few percent) slower
than the lz4 binary, even though compression is the same. I don't
consider this important. It could be caused by the overhead of library
calls, but is probably caused by slightly different buffer sizes or
such. The code in this patch uses mmap, since since this allows the
buffer to be reused while not making the code more complicated at all.
In my testing, this version is noticably faster (~20%) than a naive
single-buffered version. mmap can cause the program to be killed with
SIGBUS, if the underlying file is truncated or a disk error occurs. We
only use this from within coredump and coredumpctl, so I don't
consider this an issue.
Old decompression code is retained and is used if the new code fails
indicating a format error. There have been reports of various smaller
distributions using previous lz4 code, i.e. the old format, and it is
nice to provide backwards compatibility. We can remove the legacy code
in a few versions.
The way that blobs are compressed in the journal is not affected.
tree-wide: never use the off_t unless glibc makes us use it
off_t is a really weird type as it is usually 64bit these days (at least
in sane programs), but could theoretically be 32bit. We don't support
off_t as 32bit builds though, but still constantly deal with safely
converting from off_t to other types and back for no point.
Hence, never use the type anymore. Always use uint64_t instead. This has
various benefits, including that we can expose these values directly as
D-Bus properties, and also that the values parse the same in all cases.

locale: kill free_and_replace()
That function really makes little sense, as the open-coded variant
is much more readable. Also, if the 2nd argument is NULL, mfree()
is a much better candidate.
Convert the only users of this function in localed, and then remove it
entirely.
tree-wide: make use of log_error_errno() return value in more cases
The previous coccinelle semantic patch that improved usage of
log_error_errno()'s return value, only looked for log_error_errno()
invocations with a single parameter after the error parameter. Update
the patch to handle arbitrary numbers of additional arguments.

core: freeze execution if /etc/mtab exists
The mount monitor that was added to libmount v2.27 requires /etc/mtab to be
non-existant. As systemd now uses that functionality, we cannot monitor any
mounts anymore, and hence not support .mount units.
Systems that have /etc/mtab around as regular file are unsupported by
systemd since a long time.
This patch makes that condition fatal, so we do not boot up with
non-working mount monitor support.
smack: bugfix the smack label of symlink when '--with-smack-run-label' is set
Even though systemd has its own smack label since
'--with-smack-run-label' configuration is set, the smack label of each
CGROUP root directory should have the star (i.e. *) label. This is
mainly because current Linux Kernel set the label in this way.
(Refer to smack_d_instantiate() in security/smack/smack_lsm.c)
However, if systemd has its own smack label and arg_join_controllers is
explicitly set or initialized by initialize_join_controllers() function,
current systemd creates the symlink in CGROUP root directory with its
own smack label as below.
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root System 11 Dec 31 16:00 cpu -> cpu,cpuacct
dr-xr-xr-x. 4 root root * 0 Dec 31 16:01 cpu,cpuacct
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root System 11 Dec 31 16:00 cpuacct -> cpu,cpuacct
This patch fixes that bug by copying the smack label from the origin.

gpt-auto: fix ESP options and description
Since 59512f21 the parameters were passed in the wrong order, causing the
options to be interpreted as the description.
Also, while "false" was supposed to be passed for "rw", the ESP should actually
be mounted read-write. It just happened to be "true" since the description char*
was passed for "rw".
inspawn: switch from SOCK_DGRAM to SOCK_SEQPACKET for internal socketpairs
SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET have very similar semantics when used with
socketpair(). However, SOCK_SEQPACKET has the advantage of knowing a
hangup concept, since it is inherently connection-oriented.
Since we use socket pairs to communicate between the nspawn main process
and the nspawn child process, where the child might die abnormally it's
interesting to us to learn about this via hangups if the child side of
the pair is closed. Hence, let's switch to SOCK_SEQPACKET for these
internal communication sockets.
unit: move "not supported" check after condition check in unit_start()
Make sure we always check conditions before checking whether the unit
type is supported in unit_start(), since condition checks are "clean
errors", while "not supported" errors are fatal.
This cleans up the boot output of systemd in containers, where a lot of
NOTSUPP lines were shown befor this fix.
Introduce a proper enum, and don't pass around string ids anymore. This
simplifies things quite a bit, and makes virtualization detection more
similar to architecture detection.
