To build: meson build && ninja -C build
To run tests: ninja -C build check
To install for packaging: DESTDIR=/var/tmp/inst ninja -C build install
To install for realz: sudo ninja -C build install
v2:
- Optional items are now based on the 'feature' feature in meson.
Built libraries which are disabled turn into disabler() objects
and also poison any executables which link to them.
What is there:
- building of the binaries and libs and the python module
- installation of binaries, libs, python module, localization files,
man pages, pkgconfig files
- running of tests
- most options to configure build equivalently to the
./configure settings
Partially implemented:
- disabling of stuff when things missing. In the C code, the defines
are all used, so that should be fine. In the build system, some
files should be skipped, but that is probably not always done properly.
Getting this right might require some testing of various build option
combinations to get the details right.
Not implemented:
- static builds of fdisk and other binaries
- things marked with XXX or FIXME
- ???
Differences:
- .la files are not created. They are useless and everybody hates them.
- Requires.private in pkgconfig files are not present in the
autogenerated .pc file. Not sure if they should be there or not. If
necessary, they can be added by hand.
- man pages and systemd units are installed by the install target. Not
sure why 'make install' doesn't do that.
- the split between / and /usr is probably wrong. But it's all pointless
anyway, so maybe we could simplify things but not implementing it at
all under meson?
Utilization clamping is a new kernel feature that got merged in 5.3. It
allows controlling the performance of a process by manipulating the
utilization such that the task appears bigger or smaller than what it
really is.
There's a system-wide control to to restrict what maximum values the
process are allowed to use.
Man page added in a later patch attempts to explain the usage in more
detail.

Nobody needs the .bz2 tarball. We dont't even upload it to
kernel.org.
BTW we fix dozens of these automake warnings:
automake-1.13/am/ltlibrary.am: warning: 'libblkid.la': linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX
automake-1.13/am/ltlibrary.am: archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac'
So we can remove -Wno-portability. The only warning left is this
last GNU-make'ism which somebody may fix when reading it:
sys-utils/Makemodule.am:191: warning: addprefix sys-utils/,$(SETARCH_LINKS: non-POSIX variable name
sys-utils/Makemodule.am:191: (probably a GNU make extension)

Move the s390 specific chmem tool to util-linux.
The chmem tool was originally written in perl and is part of the
s390-tools package which can be found here:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/s390-tools.html
Given that the tool is architecture independent, there is no reason to
keep it in an s390 specific repository. It seems to be useful for
other architectures as well.
This patch converts the tool to C and adds it to util-linux, while the
command line options stay compatible. The only exception is the option
"-v" which used to be the short form of "--version". That got changed
to "-V" so it behaves like most other tools contained within
util-linux.
The chmem tool can be used to set memory online or offline. This can
be achieved by specifying a memory range:
Memory Block 19 (0x0000000130000000-0x000000013fffffff) disabled
or by specifying a size where chmem will automatically select memory
blocks:
Memory Block 21 (0x0000000150000000-0x000000015fffffff) disable failed
Memory Block 18 (0x0000000120000000-0x000000012fffffff) disabled
Memory Block 17 (0x0000000110000000-0x000000011fffffff) disabled
Memory Block 16 (0x0000000100000000-0x000000010fffffff) disabled
Memory Block 15 (0x00000000f0000000-0x00000000ffffffff) disabled
or by specifying memory block numbers instead of address ranges:
Memory Block 15 (0x00000000f0000000-0x00000000ffffffff) disabled
Memory Block 16 (0x0000000100000000-0x000000010fffffff) disabled
Memory Block 17 (0x0000000110000000-0x000000011fffffff) disabled
Memory Block 18 (0x0000000120000000-0x000000012fffffff) disabled

Move the s390 specific lsmem tool to util-linux.
The lsmem tool was originally written in perl and is part of the
s390-tools package which can be found here:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/s390-tools.html
Given that the tool is architecture independent, there is no reason to
keep it in an s390 specific repository. It seems to be useful for
other architectures as well.
This patch converts the tool to C and adds it to util-linux, while the
command line options stay compatible. The only exception is the option
"-v" which used to be the short form of "--version". That got changed
to "-V" so it behaves like most other tools contained within
util-linux.
The lsmem tool inspect the contents of /sys/devices/system/memory and
prints a summary output similar to what lscpu does:
RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK
0x0000000000000000-0x000000005fffffff 1,5G online yes 0-5
0x0000000060000000-0x000000007fffffff 512M online no 6-7
0x0000000080000000-0x000000013fffffff 3G online yes 8-19
0x0000000140000000-0x000000014fffffff 256M offline - 20
0x0000000150000000-0x000000017fffffff 768M online no 21-23
Memory block size : 256M
Total online memory : 5,8G
Total offline memory: 256M
In order to keep the output small the tool merges subsequent address
ranges where the attributes are identical. To avoid merging of line
the "-a" option can be used.
The lsmem tool also has "--extendend" and "--parsable" option which
can be used to customize the output, e.g. limit the output to
specified columns. This is quite similar to what the lscpu tool does.
This is based on a patch from Clemens von Mann.

Assumption is there are not many who need this tool. Whom ever they
might be the recommendation is to use the command from old util-linux
release. Second reason to removal is difficulty to test hardware
specific command when none of the active project members does not seem to
have such. Basically the command has reached dead end what comes to
maintainability of it.

blkdiscard is used to discard device sectors. This is useful for
solid-state drivers (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage. Unlike
fstrim this command is used directly on the block device.
blkkdiscard uses BLKDISCARD ioctl or BLKSECDISCARD ioctl for the secure
discard.
All data in the discarded region on the device will be lost!

Add to fstrim(8) code to support new discard BLKDISCARD and
