Joachim Wiberg 558c0f8c3b dbus: notify externals when reconfiguration completes
initctl reload freezes conditions to the old generation and each
owner re-asserts.  Finit's own providers do this in-process; an
external provider whose conditions are generation files, rather than
the oneshot symlinks keventd uses, has no way to know the moment.
Emit Manager1.ConfigReloaded when reconfiguration completes.

keventd needs no subscriber: its conditions are symlinks to the
reconf marker itself, so they read the current generation by
construction and never flux, which the device bus test now pins
down.

Joachim Wiberg 62b55d5b43 dbus: honor the shutdown timeout in the reboot family
initctl -t N reboot arms an emergency bypass timer over the legacy
socket, but the bus methods took no argument, so the timeout was
silently dropped whenever D-Bus was up.

Reboot, Halt, and Poweroff now take a timeout in seconds, 0 for
none, armed via the same shutdown_bypass() the legacy path uses.

Joachim Wiberg b53c7e6879 dbus: mirror legacy runlevel edge cases in Manager1.SetRunlevel
The bus method called sm_runlevel() unconditionally.  In runlevel 0
and 6 that aborts an in-flight shutdown, which INIT_CMD_RUNLVL
refuses with a warning, and during bootstrap it switches immediately
where the legacy path defers via cfglevel to the end of runlevel S.

Port both.  A bad runlevel argument still returns InvalidArgs, where
the legacy protocol acks silently: a typed interface rejects garbage.

Joachim Wiberg ebc0ef62e6 libink/finit: properties, and org.finit on the system bus
Runlevel and version are state, not actions, so they belong behind
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties rather than another method each.

Finit also claims org.finit on the system bus when it finds one, so
ordinary D-Bus clients can reach it without knowing about
/run/finit/bus.  Opportunistic on purpose: no dbus-daemon is a normal
state for the systems Finit runs on, not an error to report.

Joachim Wiberg 4bb2c33859 Dependents not restarted after SIGHUP reload of service
When 'initctl reload' is called after marking a service in a dependency
chain dirty, Finit fails to restart (unfreeze) affected services.

This patch updates the pidfile plugin to watch for IN_ATTRIB changes,
e.g. when a process uses utimensat() to update its pidfile, and adds
service_step_all() at end of reload cycle to guarantee convergence
after conditions are reasserted.

Similar to systemd's RemainAfterExit=yes.  Prevents the task from
re-running on runlevel re-entry and ensures the post: script runs

Not supported for bootstrap-only tasks (runlevel S only) since these
are deleted immediately after completion.

Joachim Wiberg 4e18affa9b Allow skipping bootstrap wait with Ctrl-C
When setting up a new system with Finit it is very common to make small
logical mistakes that cause "hangs" at boot.  This is when Finit waits
for 180 sec. for run/tasks to complete before moving to the configured
runlevel.  This patch adds console input monitoring during bootstrap
wait that allows users to press Ctrl-C to skip waiting and proceed to
the configured runlevel.

When Ctrl-C is detected, all incomplete run/task/services are logged
to syslog for later troubleshooting after login.

Joachim Wiberg e7f97f8264 Fix state machine ordering issue
This patch fixes an ordering issue where the configuration generation is
stepped before all old/disabled services had been stopped.  Finit should
ensure disabled services are stopped before entering the next generation.

If the genation is stepped first, all conditions are put in "flux" state,
so, e.g, a podman container running as a sysv service may lock-up until
it is killed by Finit.  Found in the Infix OS project.

Joachim Wiberg 3add682be3 Wait for post:script and cleanup:script before returning OK
This change introduces two new states for the big Finit state machine:
runlevel-clean and reload-clean.  Here Finit now waits for any post or
cleanup script to finish before returning OK to the initctl command.

Additionally, the service state machine has been updated to ensure a
run/task/sysv/service calls any post or cleanup script before they are
removed.  A new 'dead' state for svc_t is introduced which any removed
svc_t ends up in now instead of becing collected from 'halted' state.

Joachim Wiberg a58002588e Refactor initial startup, run runparts and rc.local in background
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.

Fixes #356

Joachim Wiberg e00fda5dc3 Fix #352: separate runlevel S from runlevel 0
Due to an old design decision runlevel S was encoded internally as '0',
meaning it was the same as halt/poweroff.  If you want to run scripts at
system shutdown this was less then ideal since it meant your scripts
also ran at bootstrap.

This change is quite invasive.  It introduces INIT_LEVEL (10) as the
value for runlevel S, meaning all code that parses and/or evaluates
anything for runlevel 0/S was affected and had to be reworked.

Joachim Wiberg 56cb6f8613 Fix #343: handle 'initctl reload' of unmodified non-native services
When 'initctl reload' is called new "configuration generation" is
started by Finit.  This mechanism ensures services reaffirm their
readiness and helps distinguish between their ready before reload
and after.

For native services the pidfile plugin handles this.  The s6 style
services are one-shot only, and thus use a static ready condition.

This patch adds support for stepping the configuration generation
of unmodified systemd style services.

Jonas Holmberg ca210f5431 Add support for logging security related events
This patch introduces the LOG_CONSOLE syslog facility for logging common
events.  In industrial applications aiming for IEC 62443 compliance the
following events are central for system observability:

- Change of runlevel - i.e., starting up, shutting down, upgrade, etc.
  Facility: console, severity: notice
- Service starting
  Facility: console, severity: notice
- Service restarting
  Facility: console, severity: notice
- Service stopping
  Facility: console, severity: notice
- Service failed to start
  Facility: console, severity: warning

The use of facility console for this makes it easier to filter out when
forwarding syslog messages from an embedded system to a remote log sink.
Otherwise messages of facility daemon would be used, which include a lot
more, and mostly irrelevant, information.

Joachim Nilsson b439ac670d .conf: don't rely on mtime to determine if service needs reloading
Until now Finit has used mtime to determine if a file has been changed,
or simply touched to request reload, when `initctl reload` is called.
Using mtime for this purpose is a monumentally bad idea since time can
be changed at any point: a user may adjust the time, NTP continously
tunes the clock, and time stamps are stored as the walltime.  So if we
compare timestamps against the last time we (booted or) did reload, we
would miss .conf file changes.

This patch replaces the mtime mistake with an inotify watcher for the
following files: /etc/finit.d/*.conf, /etc/finit.d/available/*.conf,
and /etc/finit.conf.  All file changes between (bootstraps and) calls
to `initctl reload` are tracked, like the mtime backend it replaces.
