+ * The D-Bus "wire format" for CPUAffinity attribute is changed on
+ big-endian machines. Before, bytes were written and read in native
+ machine order as exposed by the native libc __cpu_mask interface.
+ Now, little-endian order is always used (CPUs 0–7 are described by
+ bits 0–7 in byte 0, CPUs 8–15 are described by byte 1, and so on).
+ This change fixes D-Bus calls that cross endianness boundary.
+
+ The presentation format used for CPUAffinity by systemctl show and
+ systemd-analyze dump is changed to present CPU indices instead of the
+ raw __cpu_mask bitmask. For example, CPUAffinity=0-1 would be shown
+ as CPUAffinity=03000000000000000000000000000… (on little-endian) or
+ CPUAffinity=00000000000000300000000000000… (on 64-bit big-endian),
+ and is now shown as CPUAffinity=0-1, matching the input format. The
+ maximum integer that will be printed in new format is 8191 (four
+ digits), while the old format always used a very long number (with
+ the length varying by architecture), so they can be unambiguously
+ distinguished.
+
* /usr/sbin/halt.local is no longer supported. Implementation in
distributions was inconsistent and it seems this functionality was
very rarely used.
