As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.

This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that
stuff in every file.

string-util.[ch]
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.

The StartServiceByName() call was provided by dbus-daemon to activate a
service without sending a message. On receiption, dbus-daemon schedules
an activation request (different modes are supported) and sends back the
reply once activation is done.
With kdbus, we marked StartServiceByName() as deprecated. There is no
real reason to start services explicitly. Instead, applications should
just *use* the service and rely on it being activated implicitly.
However, we provide compatibility with dbus-daemon and implement
StartServiceByName() on the proxy via a call to
org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping() on the destination. This will activate
the peer implicitly as part of the no-op Ping() method call (regardless
whether the peer actually implements that call).
Now, the problem is, StartServiceByName() was synchronous on dbus-daemon
but isn't on bus-proxy. Hence, on return, there is no guarantee that
ListNames includes the activated name. As this is required by some
applications, we need to make this synchronous.
This patch makes the proxy track the Ping() method call and send the
reply of StartServiceByName() only once Ping() returned. We do not look
at possible errors of Ping(), as there is no strict requirement for the
peer to implement org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer. Furthermore, any interesting
error should have already been caught by sd_bus_send() before.
Note:
This race was triggered by gdbus. The gdbus-proxy implementation
relies on a name to be available after StartServiceByName()
returns. This is highly fragile and should be dropped by gdbus.
Even if the call is synchronous, there is no reason whatsoever to
assume the service did not exit-on-idle before ListNames()
returns.
However, this race is much less likely than the startup race, so
we try to be compatible to dbus-daemon now.

The lovely libvirtd goes into crazy mode if it receives broadcasts that
it didn't subscribe to. With bus-proxyd, this might happen in 2 cases:
1) The kernel passes us an unmatched signal due to a false-positive
bloom-match.
2) We generate NameOwnerChanged/NameAcquired/NameLost locally even
though the peer didn't subscribe to it.
dbus-daemon is reliable in what signals it passes on. So make sure we
follow that style. Never ever send a signal to a local peer if it doesn't
match an installed filter of that peer.

If the local peer does not dispatch its incoming queue, the bus-proxy will
slowly fill its outgoing queue. Once its full, it will continously
complain that it cannot forward its messages.
As it turns out, pulseaudio does have an idle background dbus connection
that is not integrated into any mainloop (and given that gdbus and
libdbus1 both support background shared connections, PA is probably not
the only example), therefore, the bus-proxy will loudly complain if it
cannot forward NameOwnerChanged events once the queue is full.
This commit makes the proxy track queue-state and complain only once the
queue runs full, not if it is already full.
A PA bug-report (and patch) has been filed, and other applications should
be fixed similarly. Hence, lets keep the error message, instead of
dropping it. It's unused resources we really want to get rid of, so
silencing the message does not really help (which is actually what
dbus-daemon does).

This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.

It's fine to abbreviate local variables, but it's not OK to abbreviate
function names needlessly. This is not an excercise in writing
unreadable code.

This implements a shared policy cache with read-write locks. We no longer
parse the XML policy in each thread.
This will allow us to easily implement ReloadConfig().
|

Move all the proxy code into a "struct Proxy" object that can be used
from multiple binaries.
We now dropped SMACK as we have to refactor it to work properly. We can
introduce it later on.
