Joachim Wiberg 96f944b816 Atomic print and re-print desc on status, flush before reboot
Refactor print() to emit description + final status in a single call to
cprintf(), preventing kernel messages from splitting the two parts.

For two-phase print(-1,...) + print_result() sequences used by, e.g.,
run_interactive, save the last description and re-print it before the
[ OK ] / [FAIL] output so the status is never left stranded on a blank
line when command output or kernel messages have scrolled away the
original description.

Finally, add print_exit() which drains the console output buffer with
tcdrain(2) and resets ANSI SGR attributes + cursor visibility before the
kernel takes back the console on reboot/halt, preventing escape code
leakage into bootloader or early-kernel output.

Joachim Wiberg ce40e2b9d2 Rename tty services early from "init" -> "getty"
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.

Joachim Wiberg 567c695954 Start services with clone3() and place in cgroup directly
This commit activates the use of clone3() for service_fork(), to allow
Linux to create the new process directly in the correct cgroup instead
of later moving it there -- much cheaper and less error prone.

To facilitate this a few new helper cgroup functions have been added and
two new configuration directives introduced: delegate and name:leafname.
The delegate option is for running, e.g., container runtimes that want
to create their own cgroup v2 structur, and the name:leafname allows a
user to change the name of the subgroup under user/system/init.

ot the includes from helpers.h to their respective .c file instead to
reduce the amount of headers an external plugin pulls in.

Joachim Wiberg 5593372ffb Refactor, replace deprecated setfsent() & C:o with setmntent()
The setfsent() family of APIs was never standardized and on Linux only
GLIBC implement them.  We've tried to overcome this limitation, and to
support uClibc/uClibc-ng and musl libc, by providing replacements APIs
in helpers.c.

However, and since we want to support alternative /etc/fstab files, the
setmntent() family of APIs is more widespread and supports reading from
any fstab or mtab file.

Joachim Wiberg 01cb088e51 Fix initctl debug toggle regression introduced in ae09272b
Calling `initctl debug` is supposed to toggle Finit debug messages on
the boot console.  This broke in ae09272b when improving support for
running Finit in containers.

Part of this change is a slight refactor of who calles log_init() when
starting up, and when to call ttinit().  We now call ttinit() every time
we toggle debug.

Also, toggling back to normal logging had a bug.  The new default log
level for Finit is LOG_INFO, but toggling back set it to LOG_NOTICE.

Joachim Wiberg cfc99c4e8b Follow-up to ef9e9ec, run ifdown also in background, with --force
Turns out that on Debian `ifdown -a` can block for quite a while at
shutdown/reboot.  So we'd like to use the --force option.  However,
the BusyBox ifdown tool doesn't support --force, only -f, which in
turn the regular ifdown tool doesn't support.

Regardless, we can allow network shutdown to run in the background
like bring-up, at reboot we want to reboot quickly and don't care
so much, and on runlevel change to single-user mode we can allow
for some lagging behind in the background.

Due to an unfortunate name clash with the DirectFB project LiTE, the
libite (-lite) project had to change its header namespace from

   lite/*.h -> libite/*.h

This patch adds support for the new namepace in Finit, triggered by the

only be needed on systems that install libite without the compatibility
symlink lite -> libite/ in the staging include directory.

Joachim Wiberg 3027a6755f Adjust logic in finding system consoles for progress/debug output
By default, Linux gives us /dev/console for output.  This is a pseudo
device that uses the same actual device as the last console=foo listed
in /proc/cmdline.  The last one listed is the main console, which is
also the *first* one listed in /sys/class/tty/console/active, so we skip
that when we check for system consoles to avoid duplicating output.

The getty code in tty.c currently has its own handling of @console,
which we keep for now.  Ideally, however, the code should be merged.
