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.
See GitHub Discussion #292 for background.
Add handling for EBUSY when mounting cgroup2 filesystem, which occurs
when cgroups are already mounted. This can happen after switch_root
when cgroups were moved from the initramfs, or in container environments.
Verify the existing mount is actually cgroup2 before proceeding, and
track whether we mounted to avoid unmounting on error if we didn't.
At least the sysvpart.sh regression test cannot run in parallel yet with
other tests (probably runparts.sh), so we must ensure the tests never
run in parallel, in particular at release.

Finit now requires being able to query at least for the root user and
group before starting any services.
Also, add support for using libraries installed in /usr/local

Finit has support for "Please press Enter to activate this console."
which means there's no getty yet running. However, when profiling
systems with Finit, and embedded systems in general, a common metric
is the time from power-on to getty has started.
This commit makes sure to rename the process so that BusyBox pidof is
capable of detecting that "getty" has started. This is mostly for the
bootchart2 project's bootchartd, the native BusyBox bootchartd does not
have this issue.

This is a refactor of getuser() and getgroup() so that they always
return a valid user, and group, for all normal use-cases. When an
error occurs we now handle it properly in service_fork() so as to
not attempt to start services with an invalid user/group setting
as root.

When running Finit under boothcartd (bootchart2 project) the PATH is
lost due to a bug. This was a wakeup, so set critical variables in
main() early, before calling fs_init().

Try out navigation.tabs, if we don't like it we can revert.
Reorg for stricter sections, what information actually belongs where?
E.g., introduction is now in a Getting Started section.

Some 'respawn' type services, like gettys, may hog the CPU in error
states if the service immediately exits. E.g., due to missing dev.

During /bin/login phase the TTY device node is chowned and chmodded to
the authenticated user. It will remain in this state until the next
call to getty.

A user reports inability to re-start getty on the console after logging
out from a serial console. After some digging it was found that the tty
was owned by the last user logged in and 600. Even thougn getty runs as
root, it did not have permission to re-open the device node.
Turns out there was a minor bug in the new capability code that cleared
all capabilities from the root user. A surprising amount of programs
worked just fine, but restarting getty gave it away.
The fix is to only call cap_setuid() when capabilities are set for the
service, otherwise we just fall back to setuid().
Also, refactor service_register() wrt. capabilities a bit so that we can
give users an early warning if the configuration is invalid, by adding a
parse_caps() helper function that calls cap_iab_from_text() to verify.

Implement supplementary group support for services, allowing them to
access resources owned by multiple groups. Uses the @user:group,sup1,sup2
syntax to explicitly specify supplementary groups, in addition to now
reading group membership from /etc/group.
Cgroups v2 limits are hierarchical - a process is constrained by the
most restrictive limit in its ancestor chain, not just its immediate
cgroup. This patch updates cg_conf() to walk up the hierarchy and
report effective limits by comparing values at each level.
This fixes incorrect "max" (unlimited) reporting in 'initctl --json
status', 'initctl cgroup', and 'initctl top' when child cgroups have
no explicit limits but parents do.
For memory.max and cpu.max: take minimum (most restrictive)
For memory.min: take maximum (most protection)
