On systems with a very large RLIMIT_NOFILE, calling close() in a loop
from 3 to getdtablesize() effects an enormous number of system calls.
There are better alternatives. Both BSD and Linux have the closefrom()
system call that closes all file descriptors with indices not less than
a specified minimum. Have start-stop-daemon call closefrom() on systems
where it's implemented, falling back to the old loop elsewhere.
Likewise, calling fcntl(i, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) in a loop from 3 to
getdtablesize() raises a similar performance concern. Linux 5.11 and
onward has a close_range() system call with a CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC flag
that sets the FD_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors in a specified
range. Have supervise-daemon utilize this feature on systems where it's
implemented, falling back to the old loop elsewhere.
The default behavior of check: false is going to change to true in the
future, see <https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9300>.
Thus we are explicit about the desired behavior. The error in uname is
important but with test we check ourselves using returncode().
This fixes#556.
This gives a hint to the compiler that allocations (return values)
from this function should be paired with a corresponding dealloc/free
function
In this case, it means that every rc_stringlist that rc_stringlist_new()
returns should eventually be freed by calling rc_stringlist_free(ptr)
where ptr is the relevant rc_stringlist.
We have to add a test for this into the build system
because only GCC supports this for now. In future, we might
be able to use meson's has_function_attribute (it does support
'malloc', just not AFAICT 'malloc with arguments').

* rewrite tests to work with meson
This ports our tests to meson and makes them able to be run in parallel.
* add tests to ci
* rewrite test/check-trailing-newlines in bash
This test was using a GNU sed command which does not work on Alpine Linux.
- drop old build system
- move shared include and source files to common directory
- drop "rc-" prefix from shared include and source files
- move executable-specific code to individual directories under src
- adjust top-level .gitignore file for new build system
This closes#489.
This adds capabilities for start-stop-daemon by adding --capabilities
option. As a result, the user can specify the inheritable, ambient and
bounding set by define capabilities in the service script.
This fixes#314.
Much like PAM, not all implementations of libcrypt provide a pkg-config
file, and hence we can't find it using the old logic.
Let's fall back to the standard AC_SEARCH_LIBS-style check if the pkg-config-style
detection fails.
This fixes finding e.g. musl's libcrypt.

X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/827074
We only need libcrypt if we're building _with_ SELinux and
_without_ PAM. We don't use libcrypt for general SELinux
with PAM.
This is mostly a correctness change as libcrypt should
generally be available (as opposed to the previous
change which fixed some real-world cases).
