An update that has six fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for systemd fixes the following issues:

  • Improve logging when PID1 fails at setting a namespace up when spawning a command specified by 'Exec*='. (bsc#1172824, bsc#1142733)

pid1: improve message when setting up namespace fails.

execute: let's close glibc syslog channels too.

execute: normalize logging in execute.c.

execute: fix typo in error message.

execute: drop explicit log_open()/log_close() now that it is unnecessary.

execute: make use of the new logging mode in execute.c

log: add a mode where we open the log fds for every single log message.

log: let's make use of the fact that our functions return the negative error code for log_oom() too.

execute: downgrade a log message ERR → WARNING, since we proceed ignoring its result.

execute: rework logging in setup_keyring() to include unit info.

execute: improve and augment execution log messages.

  • vconsole-setup: downgrade log message when setting font fails on dummy console. (bsc#1172195 bsc#1173539)
  • fix infinite timeout. (bsc#1158336)
  • bpf: mount bpffs by default on boot. (bsc#1146991)
  • man: explain precedence for options which take a list.
  • man: unify titling, fix description of precedence in sysusers.d(5)
  • udev-event: fix timeout log messages.
