ef96186add device usage based on devices file
The devices file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices is a list of
devices that lvm can use.  This is the default system devices
file, which is specified in lvm.conf devices/devicesfile.

The command option --devicesfile <filename> allows lvm to be
used with a different set of devices.  This allows different
applications to use lvm on different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to an application
using lvm on its own devices, and application devices do not
need to be exposed to the system.

In most cases (with limited exceptions), lvm will not read or
use a device not listed in the devices file.  When the devices
file is used, the regex filter is not used, and the filter
settings in lvm.conf are ignored.  filter-deviceid is used
when the devices file is enabled, and rejects any device that
does not match an entry in the devices file.

Set use_devicesfile=0 in lvm.conf or set --devicesfile ""
on the command line to disable the use of a devices file.
When disabled, lvm will see and use any device on the system
that passes the regex filter (and other standard filters.)

A device ID, e.g. wwid or serial number from sysfs, is a
unique ID that identifies a device.  The device ID is
generally independent of the device content, and lvm can
get the device ID without reading the device.
The device ID is used in the devices file as the primary
method of identifying device entries, and is also included
in VG metadata for PVs.

Each device_id has a device_id_type which indicates where
the device_id comes from, e.g. "sys_wwid" means the device_id
comes from the sysfs wwid file.  Others are sys_serial,
mpath_uuid, loop_file, md_uuid, devname.  (devname is the
device path, which is a fallback when no other proper
device_id_type is available.)

filter-deviceid permits lvm to use only devices on the system
that have a device_id matching a devices file entry.  Using
the device_id, lvm can determine the set of devices to use
without reading any devices, so the devices file will constrain
lvm in two ways:
1. it limits the devices that lvm will read.
2. it limits the devices that lvm will use.

In some uncommon cases, e.g. when devices have no unique ID
and device_id has to fall back to using the devname, lvm may
need to read all devices on the system to determine which
ones correspond to the devices file entries.  In this case,
the devices file does not limit the devices that lvm reads,
but it does limit the devices that lvm uses.

pvcreate/vgcreate/vgextend are not constrained by the devices
file, and will look outside it to find the new PV.  They assign
the new PV a device_id and add it to the devices file.  It is
also possible to explicitly add new PVs to the devices file before
using them in pvcreate/etc, in which case these commands would not
need to look outside the devices file for the new device.

vgimportdevices VG looks at all devices on the system to find an
existing VG and add its devices to the devices file.  The command
is not limited by an existing devices file.  The command will also
add device_ids to the VG metadata if the VG does not yet include
device_ids.  vgimportdevices -a imports devices for all accessible
VGs.  Since vgimportdevices does not limit itself to devices in
an existing devices file, the lvm.conf regex filter applies.
Adding --foreign will import devices for foreign VGs, but device_ids
are not added to foreign VGs.  Incomplete VGs are not imported.

The lvmdevices command manages the devices file.  The primary
purpose is to edit the devices file, but it will read PV headers
to find/check PVIDs.  (It does not read, process or modify VG
metadata.)

lvmdevices
. Displays devices file entries.
lvmdevices --check
. Checks devices file entries.
lvmdevices --update
. Updates devices file entries.
lvmdevices --adddev <devname>
. Adds devices_file entry (reads pv header).
lvmdevices --deldev <devname>
. Removes devices file entry.
lvmdevices --addpvid <pvid>
. Reads pv header of all devices to find <pvid>,
  and if found adds devices file entry.
lvmdevices --delpvid <pvid>
. Removes devices file entry.

The vgimportclone command has a new option --importdevices
that does the equivalent of vgimportdevices with the cloned
devices that are being imported.  The devices are "uncloned"
(new vgname and pvids) while at the same time adding the
devices to the devices file.  This allows cloned PVs to be
imported without duplicate PVs ever appearing on the system.

The command option --devices <devnames> allows a specific
list of devices to be exposed to the lvm command, overriding
the devices file.

44cfa55843 libdaemon: use pselect to avoid condition checking race
To avoid tiny race on checking arrival of signal and entering select
(that can latter remain stuck as signal was already delivered) switch
to use  pselect().

If it would needed, we can eventually add extra code for older systems
without pselect(), but there are probably no such ancient systems in
use.

0b19387dae headers: use configure.h as 1st. header
Ensure configure.h is always 1st. included header.
Maybe we could eventually introduce gcc -include option, but for now
this better uses dependency tracking.

Also move _REENTRANT and _GNU_SOURCE into configure.h so it
doesn't need to be present in various source files.
This ensures consistent compilation of headers like stdio.h since
it may produce different declaration.

ccc35e2647 device-mapper: Fork libdm internally.
The device-mapper directory now holds a copy of libdm source.  At
the moment this code is identical to libdm.  Over time code will
migrate out to appropriate places (see doc/refactoring.txt).

The libdm directory still exists, and contains the source for the
libdevmapper shared library, which we will continue to ship (though
not neccessarily update).

All code using libdm should now use the version in device-mapper.

7f97c7ea9a build: Don't generate symlinks in include/ dir
As we start refactoring the code to break dependencies (see doc/refactoring.txt),
I want us to use full paths in the includes (eg, #include "base/data-struct/list.h").
This makes it more obvious when we're breaking abstraction boundaries, eg, including a file in
metadata/ from base/

2232e82d25 makefiles: fixing linking
Avoid adding -g more then once for debug builds.
Avoid enabling  DEBUG_MEM when we build multithreaded tools.
Link executables with -fPIE -pie and --export-dynamic LDFLAGS
Introduce PROGS_FLAGS to add option to pass flags for external libs.

Pass VALGRIND_CFLAGS internally
Set shell failure mode on couple places.

7bbc128c3d lvmpolld: make lvpoll error messages visible
Previously all stderr messages issued by spawned lvpoll command were reported
as INFO only. This made all such messages invisible in syslog or lvmpolld log
while running default configuration.

All lvpoll stderr messages are loged with WARN priority now and lvpoll
command exiting with retcode != 0 is logged with ERROR priority in
syslog and lvmpolld log

088ee7618d lvmpolld: fix possible memory corruption with mem debug
if lvm2 is built with debug memory options dm_free() is not
mapped directly to std library's free(). This may cause memory corruption
as a line buffer may get reallocated in getline with realloc.

This is a temporary hotfix. Other debug memory failure needs to
be investigated and explained.

as of now lvmpolld works as client utility for

Currently the only request implemented is the '--dump'.
It prints out full lvmpolld state (mimics lvmdump -p command).
