sd-boot uses rdtsc to set those timestamps. There is no guarantee that the tsc
has any particular absolute value.

We'd start writing an entry line, then another one, then another one,
and then output the rest of the first one, and then some other random
stuff, and the rest of some other lines... Results were ...eh... random.
Let's define a helper to avoid some of the copy&paste madness, and separate
blocks that output a single line with /**********************************/.
This rework doesn't change what data is written, it only tries to fix the
format of the output. The fact that some entries only write data from
link->network, and some from either link->network or link, some stuff only
for dhpc4 leases while some for both dhpc4 and dhcp6, etc, looks rather
suspicious too, but I didn't touch this.
We would print the error sometimes to stdout and sometimes to stderr. It *is*
useful to get the message if one of the names is not found on the bus to
stdout, so that this shows out in the pager. So let's do verification of args
early to catch invalid arguments, and then if we receive an error over the bus
(most likely that the name is not activatable), let's print to stdout so it
gets paged. E.g. 'busctl tree org.freedesktop.systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd2'
gives a nicely usable output.
Users might want to use that to unset a previous setting. The docs seem OK as
they are: we don't need to explictly mention the empty value, since it is
almost always allowed.
Those fields are both uint32_t, so we should use the same type when parsing.
Having a different type didn't change the result, but let's be consistent.
Each of bus_set_address_{user,system} had two users, and each of the two users
would set the internal flag manually. We should do that internally in the
functions instead.
While at it, only set the flag when setting the address is actually successful.
This doesn't change anything for current users, but it seems more correct.
Those are fairly trivial to reimplement, but any non-trivial user of sd-bus
is likely to need them. So let's expose them to save everyone the trouble.
I'm keeping the internal functions and making the public ones thin wrappers,
because for the internal uses we don't need the additional asserts, and also we
can't expose _pure_ annotation easily, and dropping it would likely make the
compiled code a bit less efficient.
This fixes the broken rotation on the Acer Spin 1 I recently bought (exact model is SP111-34N-P4BZ).
It is possible that all of the SP111 models would use the same matrix, but to be on the safe side, I added a new entry.
This has now been deprecated in libinput, the only known user of this
property. It was never set for any device and weston and mutter, maybe
other compositors, never added the code required to parse it.
The benefit we could get in the UI from handling tilt differently to
wheel is tiny and the lack of support shows that it isn't of interest to
anyone. Let's remove this.
