Openrc will create a cgroup hierarchy called openrc which will have all
services it starts and all subsystems attached to it. If you need other
groups/hierarchies, please use libcgroup.
The kernel documentation states that a cgroup file system should not be
mounted here, but a tmpfs.
This also means that we should not create a group for each process, but
we should allow the user to specify which group a process should be
assigned to. The rc_cgroup variable will be used for this purpose.
For more information, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt.
When a CGroup is created, we need to copy cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems
from the new group's parent into the new group before we can attach any
processes to it.
Some variable references were written as $(foo), but the majority were
written as ${foo}. This commit changes all of the variable references
to using braces.
The tree contained many operating system specific Makefiles which were
being included in other Makefiles. This commit removes those and adds
the code to the makefiles which included them using make's conditional
processing.

symbolic links should not be followed in an attempt to work out the name
of the service we are running. Also, @sysconfdir@/conf.d should be tried
as a backup directory for configuration files.
I would like to thank Robin Johnson for his input on this change.

Openrc uses the extra_commands and extra_started_commands variables to
list extra commands for services. Also, it supports the opts variable
which is used to assist migration from baselayout-1.
I am adding this warning to encourage switching from opts to
extra_commands/extra_started_commands.
I would like to remove support for opts eventually.
The extra_net_fs_list variable was not being included as it should have
been for the net file systems because it was being expanded before it
was set by the user.

This updates the udhcpc support to use busybox's udhcpc instead of the
stand alone version.
I would like to thank jackieku <kjackie@gmail.com> for assisting with
this update.

The previous test assumed that we could always rely on the minor fault
counter to change between reads of /proc/self/stat, but we found that
this is not the case.
The new test compares two reads of /proc/self/environ for which we have
set the same environment variable to two different values.
If the comparison shows the two reads have the same contents, we know
that /proc is not working.
I would like to thank Robin Johnson and Mike Frysinger for their input
for this patch.

Previously we checked if /proc was alive by reading /proc/uptime twice
with a 1 second sleep between calls, so that it had time to update.
This got a complaint of an entire 1 second delay, so we improve the
check to be much faster without sleep. We cannot continue to use
/proc/uptime as it only has a 10ms resolution.

runscript.sh needs to abort if the . command used to load
conf.d files and the service script does not execute successfully.
I would like to thank Mike Frysinger for his input wrt style on this
patch.
OpenRC version is now stored as plaintext in /libexec/rc/version
Plugins (cursplash, splashutils) will have to be re-compiled to pickup
the new directories. State data needs to be moved from /lib/rc/init.d
to /libexec/rc/init.d as well.
