2014-03-03bus: add sd_bus_track object for tracking peers, and port core over to itLennart Poettering
This is primarily useful for services that need to track clients which reference certain objects they maintain, or which explicitly want to subscribe to certain events. Something like this is done in a large number of services, and not trivial to do. Hence, let's unify this at one place. This also ports over PID 1 to use this to ensure that subscriptions to job and manager events are correctly tracked. As a side-effect this makes sure we properly serialize and restore the track list across daemon reexec/reload, which didn't work correctly before. This also simplifies how we distribute messages to broadcast to the direct busses: we only track subscriptions for the API bus and implicitly assume that all direct busses are subscribed. This should be a pretty OK simplification since clients connected via direct bus connections are shortlived anyway.
2013-12-22shared: switch our hash table implementation over to SipHashLennart Poettering
SipHash appears to be the new gold standard for hashing smaller strings for hashtables these days, so let's make use of it.

2013-11-21bus: rework message handlers to always take an error argumentLennart Poettering
Message handler callbacks can be simplified drastically if the dispatcher automatically replies to method calls if errors are returned. Thus: add an sd_bus_error argument to all message handlers. When we dispatch a message handler and it returns negative or a set sd_bus_error we send this as message error back to the client. This means errors returned by handlers by default are given back to clients instead of rippling all the way up to the event loop, which is desirable to make things robust. As a side-effect we can now easily turn the SELinux checks into normal function calls, since the method call dispatcher will generate the right error replies automatically now. Also, make sure we always pass the error structure to all property and method handlers as last argument to follow the usual style of passing variables for return values as last argument.
2013-11-20core: convert PID 1 to libsystemd-busLennart Poettering
This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling, and this dependency can be turned off. This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are necessary to make the port work: - Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are severed. - Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the same path. This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus calls which used an inappropriate signature. As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
