The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet. It encodes
nofork/noexec flags
suid flags
the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string
Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid). Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.
This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.
According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number
of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:
KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)
0 9057 -
2 4604 32
4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130
32 884 194
This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.
v2:
Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.
v3:
Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
well as the last applet found.
v4:
Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.
v5:
Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.
v6:

Adding support to install individual binaries if the option is
enabled. This also installs the shared libbusybox.so.* library.

Add a helper script that lists all applets that
- do or may require SUID provileges (busybox.cfg.suid)
- do not require SUID provileges (busybox.cfg.nosuid)
Some setups prefer to build two busybox binaries, one that is suid which
contains all applets that do or may require suid privileges, and a
second one for all the rest (which drops suid). To ease splitting these
two binaries, generate a list of CONFIG_ items for the suid binary.

This change retains "or later" state! No licensing _changes_ here,
only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).

First, I _again_ violated it - two xz-related applets are in wrong positions.
Second, planned in-applet help text thing will be so much easier without
this requirement...

fix option parsing in the case some CONFIG_x are off.
disable -b on NOMMU, make backgrounding work correctly
(if a bit differently from MMU case). Previously,
it wasn't working at all.
stop using global data for flags in main(), opt
bitfield works as well.
