Instead of using multiple recursive Makefile.am files, use a single
Makefile.am that sets and builds all the basic suite of libraries and
binaries for udev. This reduces the number of files in the source tree, and
also reduces drastically the build time when using parallel-make.
With this setup, all the compile steps will be executed in parallel, and
just the linking stage will be (partially) serialised on the libraries
creation.
If by-path / by-id links don't quite do what you want, this is a nice
clean way to extend the behaviour. Real example:
SYMLINK=="serial/by-id/usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc*CDMA*-if00-port0", \\
SYMLINK+="cellcard"
Some users ask how to do things like this.
- create an additional link with a shorter name
- create a link which matches more loosely
(omit certain path segments e.g. serial numbers)
- change permissions on certain USB device nodes
Allow them to realize this without reading the friendly *.c files.

Dates aren't shown in the manpages. So they are not really useful,
and no-one is going to remember to update them.
"<refmiscinfo class="version"></refmiscinfo>" sounds even less useful.
I leave the unused "title" and "productname" tags. They could
theoretically be useful, and aren't hard to maintain. We just need to
fix the "title" for udevadm.

It did not work for the last couple of releases.
If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark
the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with:
udevadm trigger --type=failed
The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be
ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed
dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that
something is used in a way it should not.
We may need to handle SIGCHLD before the queued worker message. The last
reference, from the SIGCHLD or the worker message will clean up the worker
context. In case we receive an unexpected SIGCHLD with an error, we let
the event fail and clean up the worker context.
Persistent network rules write out new rules files. When rules change,
we need to kill all workers to update the in-memory copy of the rules.
We need to make sure, that a worker finshes its work for all device
messages it has accepted, before it exits after a SIGTERM from the main
process.
Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the
no longer needed worker processes get killed.
The math in skip_to() was the wrong way round and allocated a
variable size array on the stack with a massively negative size.

Directory lookups show up in profiling. The queue files are responsible
for a large proportion of file-related system calls in udev coldplug.
Instead of creating a file for each event, append their details to a
log file. The file is periodically rebuilt (garbage-collected) to
prevent it from growing indefinitely.
This single queue file replaces both the queue directory and the
uevent_seqnum file. On desktop systems the file tends not to grow
beyond one page. So it should also save a small amount of memory in
tmpfs.
Tests on a running EeePC indicate average savings of 5% *udevd* cpu time
as measured by oprofile. __link_path_walk is reduced from 1.5% to
1.3%. It is not completely clear where the rest of the gains come from.
In tests running ~400 events, the queue file is rebuilt about 5 times.

Messages send back by the udev daemon to the netlink socket are
multiplexed by the kernel and delivered to multiple clients. The
clients can upload a socket filter to let the kernel drop messages
not belonging to a certain subsystem. This prevent needless wakeups
and message processing for users who are only interested in a
subset of available events.
Recent kernels allow untrusted users to listen to the netlink
messages.
The messages send by the udev daemon are versioned, to prevent any
custom software reading them without libudev. The message wire format
may change with any udev version update.
For added protection, ignore any unicast message received on the
netlink socket or any multicast message on the kernel group not
received from the kernel.

The netlink socket is now used by udev event processes. We should take
care not to pass it to the programs they execute. This is the same way
the inotify fd was handled.

Instead of of our own private monitor socket, we send the
processed event back to our netlink socket, to the multicast
group 2 -- so any number of users can listen to udev events,
just like they can listen to kernel emitted events on group 1.

It is a difference between

Case A was the case that showed the error behaviour. It seems udevadm is
confused by the trailing slash. This behaviour seems to be there since ages.
There's still a slight race condition when using udevadm settle, if the
udev daemon has a pending inotify event but hasn't yet generated the
"change" uevent for it, the kernel and udev sequence numbers will match
and settle will exit.
Now udevadm settle will send a control message to udevd, which will
respond by sending SIGUSR1 back to the waiting udevadm settle once it
has completed the main loop iteration in which it received the control
message.
If there were no pending inotify events, this will simply wake up the
udev daemon and allow settle to continue. If there are pending inotify
events, they are handled first in the main loop so when settle is
continued they will have been turned into uevents and the kernel
sequence number will have been incremented.
Since the inotify event is pending for udevd when the close() system
call returns (it's queued as part of the kernel handling for that system
call), and since the kernel sequence number is incremented by writing to
the uevent file (as udevd does), this solves the race.
When the settle continues, if there were pending inotify events that
udevd had not read, they are now pending uevents which settle can wait
for.

This allows you to re-process the rules if the content of the device
has been changed, most useful for block subsystem to cause vol_id to
be run again.
udevd's event_queue_manager loop is pretty sensitive to the
delays of exiting child processes. I found that it helps boot
times if we try to reap children as quickly as possible.
This patch changes event_queue_manager to call sigchilds_waiting
if it finds a signal has been received.

In certain cut-down situations such as an installer or inside the
initramfs, we simply don't have any kind of name service. While we
could use rules without OWNER or GROUP, it's better to have the same
rules as a full system and have udevd ignore those parts of the rules.
Adds a --resolve-names=never switch to udevd that has this effect.
udevd uses a rather old-fashioned way of handling signals
while waiting for input through select (ie by using an unnamed
pipe, to which the signal handler writes one byte for every signal
received). This is rather awkward and may potentially even block
if we receive more signals than the kernel's pipe buffer.
This patch replaces all of that with ppoll, which was designed
for this purpose.
It also removes the SA_RESTART flag from all installed signal
handlers, because otherwise the ppoll call would just be restarted
after handling eg a SIGCHLD.

This is just a cleanup. It doesn't change the code generated by gcc.
Scott found that the node /dev/pktcdvd can not be replaced by
/dev/pktcdvd/control by changing the rules, and re-trigger the
event. We used to create the new names before we cleaned up the
old ones, which can not work if we need to create subdir with
the same name.
Since a while we change the database with a "test" run, but do not update
the node and symlinks. We need to "force" all the time, to keep things
in sync.
[...] running the command
`make maintainer-clean' should not delete `configure' even if
`configure' can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More
generally, `make maintainer-clean' should not delete anything that
needs to exist in order to run `configure' and then begin to build
the program. This is the only exception; `maintainer-clean' should
delete everything else that can be rebuilt.
The klibc implementation of getopt_long() behaves slightly different
from the glibc one - in particular, it treats the change of the option
string argument between invocations as start of parsing a different
command line, and resets its state. However, the udevadm code
expected getopt_long() invocations in subcommands to continue parsing
the rest of command line after initial options has been parsed at the
top level; with klibc this broke, causing all udevadm subcommands to
stop recognizing their options.
Instead of relying on the glibc behavior, reset the getopt_long()
state properly before invoking the subcommand handler: move argv to
point to the subcommand name, decrease argc appropriately, and set
optind = 0. This also fixes a minor bug visible with glibc - without
setting optind = 0 all getopt_long() calls in subcommand handlers were
behaving as if "+" was specified as the first character of the option
string (which disables option reordering), because that state was set
by the first getopt_long() call at the top level, and was not reset
when parsing subcommand options.

If compiled without optimization, the dbg() macro dereferences variables
which are not available. Convert the string array to a function, which just
returns NULL if compiled without DEBUG.
