system/skeleton: update etc/mtab with a more sensible link

2016-07-05T13:24:38+00:00

Currently, our /etc/mtab points to /proc/mounts. This was all neat so far, and was good for a sysv-like init system. However, the way today is to point it at /proc/self/mounts, the per-process mount tab. Additionnally, that's what systemd expects. If /etc/mtab is not a symlink to ../proc/self/mounts and the rootfs is readonly, systemd would whine loudly (and a service unit would be marked failed). Since it works well for sysv-like init systems too, just use that. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

New top-level directory: system

This directory groups the following elements: * the default root filesystem skeleton * the default device tables * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for getty, system hostname, etc.) * the make rules to apply the system configuration options Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense. As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which has become useless in the process.
