The list of provided facility names as specified via Provides: in the
LSB header was originally implemented by adding those facilities to the
Names= property via unit_add_name().
In commit 95ed3294c6 the internal SysV
support was replaced by a generator and support for parsing the Names=
option had been removed from the unit file parsing in v186.
As a result, Provides: for non-virtual facility was dropped when
introducing the sysv-generator.
Since quite a few SysV init scripts still use that functionality (at
least in distros like Debian which have a large body of SysV init
scripts), add back support by making those facility names available via
symlinks to the unit filename to ensure correct orderings between
SysV init scripts which use those facility names.

This patch adds more detail to the description of how path escaping
operates and provides a pointer to the systemd-escape program. Either
would serve to answer the question raised in the bug report, so
hopefully this will allow it to be closed.

When systemd starts a service, it first opened /run/systemd/journal/stdout
socket, and only later switched to the right user.group (if they are
specified). Later on, journald looked at the credentials, and saw
root.root, because credentials are stored at the time the socket is
opened. As a result, all messages passed over _TRANSPORT=stdout were
logged with _UID=0, _GID=0.
Drop real uid and gid temporarily to fix the issue.

Add missing htonl() so that check_loopback() actually tests for 127.0.0.1

The reasons were already given in the description of %U, but the
are easy to overlook, and it's better to be explicit to avoid
confusion.

Since the manpage already talks about shell-compatibility, it should be
more accurate about what needs to be escaped and how.

Commit a2a5291b3f changed the parser to reject unfinished quoted
strings. Unfortunately it introduced an error where a trailing
backslash would case an infinite loop. Of course this must fixed, but
the question is what to to instead. Allowing trailing backslashes and
treating them as normal characters would be one option, but this seems
suboptimal. First, there would be inconsistency between handling of
quoting and of backslashes. Second, a trailing backslash is most
likely an error, at it seems better to point it out to the user than
to try to continue.
Updated rules:
ExecStart=/bin/echo \\ → OK, prints a backslash
ExecStart=/bin/echo \ → error
ExecStart=/bin/echo "x → error
ExecStart=/bin/echo "x"y → error

This way, we should be in a slightly better situation if a container is
booted up with only a shell as PID 1. In that case
/run/systemd/container will not be populated, and a check for it hence
be ineffective.
Checking /proc/1/environ doesn't fully fix the problem though, as the
file is only accessible with privileges. This means if PID 1 is not
systemd, and if privileges have been dropped the container detection
will continue to fail.

The error was introduced in v215-343-g60731f32f1 'systemctl: do not
bother to mutate state on error', by causing strv_free to attempt to
free a static string. Simplify the whole thing by always keeping the
array in valid state.

Suppose that while iterating we have already looked into a journal file
and got a candidate for the next entry. And we are considering to look
into another journal file because it may contain an entry that is nearer
to the current location than the candidate.
We should skip the whole journal file if we can tell by looking at its
header that none of its entries can precede the candidate.
Before:
$ time ./journalctl --since=2014-06-01 --until=2014-07-01 > /dev/null
real 0m20.518s
user 0m19.989s
sys 0m0.328s
After:
$ time ./journalctl --since=2014-06-01 --until=2014-07-01 > /dev/null

Interleaving of entries from many journal files is expensive. But there
is room for optimization.
We can skip looking into journal files whose entries all lie before the
current iterating location. We can tell if that's the case from looking
at the journal file header. This saves a huge amount of work if one has
many of mostly not interleaved journal files.
On my workstation with 90 journal files in /var/log/journal/ID/
totalling 3.4 GB I get these results:
Before:
$ time ./journalctl --since=2014-06-01 --until=2014-07-01 > /dev/null
real 5m54.258s
user 2m4.263s
sys 3m48.965s
After:
$ time ./journalctl --since=2014-06-01 --until=2014-07-01 > /dev/null

The high "sys" time in the original was caused by putting more stress on
the mmap-cache than it could handle. With the patch the working set
now consists of fewer mmap windows and mmap-cache is not thrashing.

If a unit is set property by "systemctl set-property", a new dropin
file is generated. But the unit's dropin_paths and dropin_mtime are
not updated. So the unit is shown as need daemon reload.
Update unit dropin_paths and dropin_mtime also when dropin file is
written.

If a cgroup fails to be destroyed (most likely because there are still
processes running as part of a service after the main pid exits), don't
free and remove the cgroup unit from the manager. This fixes a
regression introduced by the cgroup rework in v205 where systemd would
forget about processes still running after the unit becomes inactive.
(This can happen when the main pid exits and KillMode=process or none).

There is no need to require mount.usrflags. The original implementation
assumed that a btrfs subvolume would always be needed but that is not
applicable to systems that do not use btrfs for /usr.
Similar to using rootflags= for the default of mount.usrflags=, append
the classic 'ro' and 'rw' flags to the mount options.
