Finit had no way to answer the question every service manager gets
asked: what is running, and change it. D-Bus is how the rest of
userspace asks, but linking libdbus, sd-bus or GIO into PID 1 buys a
dependency, an allocator and a main loop we do not control.
So libink: the wire format, an object tree, and a bus of Finit's own
at /run/finit/bus, gated like INIT_SOCKET. It speaks the standard
org.freedesktop.DBus, .Peer, .Introspectable interfaces, and Finit's
own Manager1, Service1 and Cond1 on top. Methods that change
something are marked privileged and answered only for a caller the
kernel vouched for, via SO_PEERCRED.
Server and client both, since initctl is the first thing that needs
to talk to it, and its Start/Stop/Restart/Reload now go over the bus
rather than the legacy socket.

The one-liner format has grown crowded and very wide, and every new
service option makes it worse.
Add a second, block-based format, parsed with libconfuse:
service sshd {
description = "OpenSSH daemon"
runlevel = "2345"
command = "/usr/sbin/sshd -D $SSHD_OPTS"
}
Both formats keep the .conf extension and are detected per file by
content. Try-parse strictly with libconfuse; on a parse error,
re-parse leniently to tell a block file with a typo from a one-liner
file. Only a one-liner file reaches the legacy parser, a typo is
reported with its file and line.
Each block is translated to the canonical one-liner and registered
through the existing entry points, so the two formats cannot drift.
The one-liner parser is frozen at the 4.x feature set, new options
land only in the block schema. libconfuse 3.3 or later is required,
CFGF_KEYSTRVAL does not exist before it.
Covers service, task, run, sysv and tty blocks, the static directives,
and the cgroup, rlimit, set and log blocks. Templating and the
documentation rewrite are still to come.
The regression test covers translation of a service block to the
one-liner, a block-format /etc/finit.conf booting with set {} applied
at bootstrap, both formats side by side, and rejection of a typo at
block and at root level.
A rejected file must not fall through to the legacy parser, which
registers a bogus unstartable service per line. assert_num_children
cannot see that, the bogus service has no children either, so the
check is assert_num_services.

The one-liner parser is about to be joined by a second, block-based
format. Give it a name that says which of the two it implements,
before any content changes make the diff hard to follow.

The do_ prefix is conventionally reserved for local helper functions.
Move switch_root() declaration to private.h alongside iterate_proc()
and remove the now-empty initramfs.h header.
in an initramfs, then transition to the real root filesystem. Useful
for systems requiring early boot tasks like LUKS unlock, LVM activation,
or network boot before mounting the real root.
Adds INIT_CMD_SWITCH_ROOT API command, `initctl switch-root` subcommand,
and HOOK_SWITCH_ROOT plugin hook point. The implementation gracefully
stops services, moves virtual filesystems (/dev, /proc, /sys, /run) to
the new root, deletes initramfs contents to free memory, then execs the
new init as PID 1.

This commit introduces a bare-bones replacement for libsystemd:
- Build .so file and add --with-libsystemd to configure
- Add capabilities support to test/src/serv.c
- Update tests to account for a Finit built w/o libsystemd support

The tmpfiles.d spec has proven useful in systemd, enough so that some developers
are starting to ship tmpfiles.d configuration files with their software.
By splitting the tmpfiles functionality in finit out into a separate executable
we are providing a useful piece of software that package managers can hook into.
This commit replaces the `mdev -s` call to populate the device tree with
the "new" `mdev -df` daemon mode, introduced in BusyBox 1.31.0, 2019.
In daemon mode mdev listens to kernel uevents, replacing the hotplug use
of mdev. After creating the netlink socket, 'mdev -df' performs the same
initial scan as 'mdev -s' did.
To perform device (re)discovery, module loading and setup, including any
firmware loading, a coldplug operation is typically required. This is
done by the new /libexec/finit/coldplug script, by Alexander Zangerl.
Unlike 'mdevadm settle', mdev does not offer any mechanism to detect when
the discovery operation is done: on slower systems the triggering side,
the coldplug script, often completes quite a bit earlier than mdev's
uevent processing. I.e., depending on <run/coldplug/success> is not an
indicator of all devices having been (re)discovered and fully set up.

The code refactored in this commit has long been an eyesore. The
hand-over, from the sequential main() function, to the event loop
was clumsy at best and was very difficult to debug.
Instead of using a series of workers we now delegate everything to
the big state machine by introducing a new SM_BOOTSRTAP_WAIT_STATE.
Both the runparts and rc.local scripts now run in the background, no
longer blocking the event loop from responding to initctl calls. To
ensure they run at the same point in time two things have been done:
1. A new <int/bootstrap> condition has been added which triggers
runparts, which now is a regular task created by conf_init()
2. /etc/rc.local is started from SM_RUNLEVEL_WAIT_STATE when we
transition from runlevel S to any other runlevel.

This patch adds service readiness notification to support daemons
employing systemd and s6 notification. Complementing the native
Finit readiness support using PID files that exist already.
The two have slightly different ways of implementing readiness:
- https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd_notify.html
- https://skarnet.org/software/s6/notifywhenup.html
Finit now provides both a NOTIFY_SOCKET environemnt variable, for
systemd, and a way to start s6 daemons with a descriptor argument.
For details on the syntax, see the `service` documentation.

This patch is a refactor of the prototype sys condition plugin. It
moves most of the logic to monitor kernel events into a keventd that,
currently only, sets and clears the sys/pwr/ac condition. The sys
plugin itself is now only a monitor of conditions and ensures Finit
follows them. This is a lot more secure and moves (at least one piece
of) netlink processing out from PID 1.

Simplify build system.
The logit tool is, as of v4.0, installed into /libexec/finit/logit and
thus not part of the system $PATH. If a sysadmin or distro wants to
remove it from the system it's entirely possible since Finit always
checks for logit availability before attempting to use it.

This patch restores the start of the built-in/bundled watchdogd. It is
tracked in the `wdog` variable and handled as an exception at shutdown.
This is also a follow-up to 7b74c99, ensuring that we only kill/stop the
built-in watchdog, not any external. External ones can register to be
the controlling watchdogd in the system -- Finit is not the arbiter for
singletons, this is up to the system engineer.

Since the cgroups support in Finit is not yet officially released, we
decided to change the back-end to use cgroups v2 instead of the aging
and rather clumsy cgroups v1. Even this initial refactor is a lot
easier to read and understand, more can still be done since there's
a lot of concepts, data values and the ilk that can now be shared
between different controllers.
Still ToDo: inotify for cgroup.events to clean up leaf nodes, which
in cgroups v1 was handled by cgreaper.sh. This is fixed
in the next commit in the series.

This patch drops the stand-alone reboot binary and folds it into the
initctl tool, which now becomes a multi-call binary.
With this change the reboot/shutdown/poweroff/halt/suspend commands also
no longer default to sending signals to PID 1, instead it now uses the
initctl <--> finit UNIX domain socket API. Signals are only used as a
fallback in case of non-working domain socket. The -f,--force mode of
operation still works, where `reboot(2)` is called directly.

This patch removes the built-in inetd support from Finit. We recommend
using an external inetd instead, e.g. xinetd.
If you liked the feature set our inetd provided; filtering per interface
and port redirection, then please let us know or use the code in this
patch (MIT licensed) to recreate it. We are open to reintroducing it,
but then as a stand-alone daemon like the bundled watchdogd and getty.
