We should return correctly and warn in both daemon_session__kill() and
daemon__kill() after we tried everything to kill sessions. The current
code will keep on looping and waiting.

If we don't process SIGCHLD before another comes, we will see just one
SIGCHLD as a result. In this case current code will miss exit
notification for a session and wait forever.
Adding extra waitpid check for all sessions when SIGCHLD is received, to
make sure we don't miss any session exit.
Also fix close condition for signal_fd.

It's used in the following patches via test code to make sure 'perf

Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig

base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a

# perf daemon start
Ping all sessions:
# perf daemon ping
OK cycles

Ping specific session:

Add 'lock' file under daemon base and flock it, so only one perf daemon
can run on top of it.
Each daemon tries to create and lock BASE/lock file, if it's successful
we are sure we're the only daemon running over the BASE.
Once daemon is finished, file descriptor to lock file is closed and lock
is released.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Starting the daemon:
# perf daemon start
And try once more:
# perf daemon start
failed: another perf daemon (pid 775594) owns /opt/perfdata
will end up with an error, because there's already one running
on top of /opt/perfdata.
Committer notes:
Provide lockf(F_TLOCK) when not available, i.e. transform:
lockf(fd, F_TLOCK, 0);
into:
flock(fd, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB);
Which should be equivalent.
Noticed when cross building to some odd Android NDK.

Add support to detect changes to the daemon's config file triggering a
re-read of the configuration when that happens.
Use a inotify file descriptor plugged into the main fdarray object for
polling.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
Starting the daemon:
# perf daemon start
Check sessions:
# perf daemon
[772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[772263:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
Change '-m 10M' to '-m 20M', and check daemon log:
# tail -f /opt/perfdata/output
[2021-01-02 20:31:41.234045] daemon started (pid 772262)
[2021-01-02 20:31:41.235072] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772263]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

[2021-01-02 20:32:08.310847] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772338]: -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
And the session list:
# perf daemon
[772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[772338:cycles] perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
Note the changed '-m 20M' option is in place.

Adding support to configure daemon with config file.
Each client or server invocation of perf daemon needs to know the
base directory, where all sessions data is stored.
The base is defined with:
daemon.base
Base path for daemon data. All sessions data are stored under
this path.
The daemon allows to create record sessions. Each session is a
record command spawned and monitored by perf daemon.
The session is defined with:
session-<NAME>.run
Defines new record session for daemon. The value is record's
command line without the 'record' keyword.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
The example above defines '/opt/perfdata' as the base directory and 2
record sessions.
# perf daemon start
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.454413] daemon started (pid 16015)
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.455910] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:16016]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.456599] reconfig: ruining session [sched:16017]: -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
# ps -ef | grep perf
... perf daemon start
... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
The base directory is populated with:
# find /opt/perfdata/
/opt/perfdata/
/opt/perfdata/control <- control socket
/opt/perfdata/session-cycles <- data for session 'cycles':
/opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output <- perf record output
/opt/perfdata/session-cycles/perf.data <- perf data
/opt/perfdata/session-sched <- ditto for session 'sched'
/opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
/opt/perfdata/session-sched/perf.data

Hat to patch patch it to deal with this in some systems:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-daemon.c: In function 'send_cmd': MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/bench/

make[3]: *** [/tmp/build/perf/builtin-daemon.o] Error 1
And also to not leak the 'line' buffer allocated by getline(), since you
initialized line to NULL and len to zero, man page says:
If *lineptr is set to NULL and *n is set 0 before the call,
then getline() will allocate a buffer for storing the line.
This buffer should be freed by the user program even if
getline() failed.

The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run
