Joachim Nilsson ff73dab447 Slight cleanup of public API in helpers.c
Function renames:
  - set_procname() --> procname_set()
  - kill_procname() --> procname_kill()
  - get_pidname() --> pid_get_name()

Also added three new helper functions, for external plugins:
  - pid_alive()
  - pidfile_poll()
  - pidfile_read()

Joachim Nilsson 0d70fa4cf0 Let plugins hook into service startup to notify 3rd party daemon.
This commit adds support for calling plugin hooks when all services
have been started properly. Useful for, e.g., a 3rd party service
monitor to trigger further events on.

Joachim Nilsson fbfffbc9a4 Eliminate name clash with system signal.h header file.
Tried to solve the signal.h name clash by using #include_next, but
seeing as this is not recommended[1] and breaks builds on some cross
compilers, the files were simply renamed: signal.[ch] --> sig.[ch]

Joachim Nilsson c49d89dfe0 Revert new experimental libev backend due to time constraints
Due to time constraints I had to revert the new libev backend to the
service, I/O and signals monitor.  Employed instead is the tried and
tested signals based service monitor, with a small extension for an
additional I/O monitor using poll() for the I/O plugins to use.

Tried restoring the startx finit.conf directive on top of the service
implementation. However, it's currently not usable to run /usr/bin/startx
for any other user than root. I recommend using the examples/finit.conf
and run /usr/sbin/gdm instead.

finit.c:
        New run_loop() function, replaces libev ev_run().

helpers.c:
        Refactor start_process() into svc_start().

plugin.c:
        Add fds[] array for use in the io_monitor() called by the
        new run_loop().

signal.c:
        Ignore SIGCHLD. Handled by waitpid() in svc_monitor() now,
        which is called by the new run_loop().

svc.c:
        svc_register(): Optional @username parsing for the command line.
        svc_monitor(): Replaced libev callback with waitpid()
        svc_start(): Refactored to use most of helpers.c:start_process()

Joachim Nilsson 0e02429e75 Convert finit to use libev and fix so plugin ctors runs on dlopen().
Lots of cleanup and simplification of the main code in this commit.
Most notably libev has been added to take care of the main loop and
monitor services. Still TODO is migrating to use the libev signal
handling.

Convert initctl.c:listen_initctl() to a plugin instead.  This also
meant introducing a new form of I/O plugin to finit, also handled
by libev.

Load plugins *after* we've setup the base filesystem (BASEFS) in case
plugins reside on a filesystem not reachable before "mount -a" has run.
This also has the side effect of lining up nicely with the first level
plugin hooks.

If a plugin wants to hook up with a loded service we connect them by
their respective numeric IDs in plugin_register().  I.e., the service
monitor checks if a service has a registered callback, which in turn
decides if a service should be started, stopped or reloaded.

Rip out old EeePC distribution defines from finit.h, none of it really
applies anymore.  If you need distribution specific settings this is
the place to put them.

Make hookpoint names (#defines) clearer: after BASEFS, after networking,
after all setup, etc.

Use #inlude_next <signal.h> in signal.h to include system header file!

Simplify service monitor: move essential code to svc.c and rip out
the TIPC dependency. Write your own service.so plugin, or wait for
a more complete example of how to extend service monitoring using
the primitives in svc.c

Joachim Nilsson d21dc2b477 Westermo service starter and supervisor, inspired by daemontools
finit.c:
        o New service and shell_service stanzas for finit.conf
        o Run service_startup() before /etc/finit.d/ hooks
        o Run service_monitor() at end of startup

helpers.c:
        o Several new functions:
          - print_desc() displays a service starting up
          - print_result() shows if service started OK or not
          - start_process() is used by the services framework

svc.c:
        Generic API for managing svc_t structures

ipc.o:
        TIPC based framework for communicating with the service monitor.
        E.g., to relay (re)configuration signals from a Web/CLI
        front-end via finit to one or many setup daemons, and back.

services.c:
        Service monitor framework

strlcpy.c:
        Secure strncpy() replacement from OpenBSD under the free ISC License.
