Move s6 higher in the supervision chain

Closed Laurent Bercot requested to merge (removed):master into master Aug 14, 2018
  • Overview 1
  • Changes
  • Better s6 layout, with a place for early services and a place for packages to add their services later on.
  • s6-svscan is now supervised by sysvinit (instead of being run once by openrc)
  • s6-svscan is now the only process supervised by sysvinit. All the other "respawn" lines are delegated to s6.
  • utmpd and wtmpd are now early services instead of being added by openrc.

These changes implement a full supervision architecture and make init more flexible. Later on, it will be easier to

  • add conditional gettys (for /dev/hvc0...)
  • remove sysvinit entirely
  • decouple the init process from the service manager.
