Hello folks,

this is my second take for making systemd stuff build-time optional. (obsoletes #2987)

It's been quite a while since the last time, and lots of things changed.

These patches first factors out systemd specific stuff in easily digestable steps, bevor adding the actual build flag.
Several functions are dummies on no_systemd flag (that shouldn't be actually called) for sake of simpler code flow.

No idea how to fix the lint error - running gofumpt didn't seem to be sufficient.

Maybe the problem is the vendor dir, which isn't at all gofumpt'ed.

I think that the term used in this error message will be very confusing to the majority of users.

Overall LGTM, just a few minor issues:

  • I would rename *nosystemd.go files to *no_systemd.go or *systemd_stub.go for readability;
  • files that end with _linux.go should still end with _linux.go even when you rename/split those;
  • change the error messages to be less confusing and refer to systemd.

No idea how to fix the lint error - running gofumpt didn't seem to be sufficient.

The gofumpt errors in validate / lint are there because you're using old-style +build tags in the new code. Please see commit d8da003 for more info on that (and if your gofumpt doesn't show/change anything, you need to update it).

I was talking about utils_linux.go file. The (better, I guess) alternative to the above is to drop the _linux part of the file name and use //go:build linux annotation instead (which I think you already do).

  1. This will reduce the size of runc binary file by 700k+.
    It is useful for my daily use, but I think upstream projects(containerd/docker/k8s) may not use this feature.
  2. This PR will make the code more clear and readable.

libcontainer: factor out systemdDbus.Properties references to an alias
3f1a6ed 
Factor out all references to Lennartix-specific dbus property struct into
some alias. That's helpful in making it possible to build it w/o any systemd
dependencies (which would make the binary at least 10% smaller.)

make systemd and its dependencies optional via 'no_systemd' build tag
23ddbc0 
Running under systemd requires lots of special code that contributes
to ca. 10 percent (ca. 1 MB) to the binary size. This is only needed on
targets that might run systemd - there're dozens of distros, let alone
embedded/edge devices or special images (eg. cluster worker nodes) that
do not and never will run systemd, thus do not need that code at all.

It's not just about reducing memory consumption, but also having over
10.000 lines of code less to audit.

In order not to change default behaviour, introducing an inverse build tag,
'no_systemd', for explicitly opting out from systemd special handlings.

@metux needs a rebase. Guess we can merge it right after.

@metux Are you still working on this PR? Please rebase, I think we can merge this one, and in the future release we can also provide a binary without systemd.
