I never did this because how could you do it generically, then a
friend who is better at Python gave me an idea for a way to do it,
and now wrapper debugging prints return values, not just errno
values, in most-to-all cases.

Instead of allocating (and then freeing) these paths all the time,
use a rotating selection of buffers of fixed but probably large enough
size (the same size that would have been the maximum anyway in
general). With the exception of fts_open, there's no likely way to
end up needing more than two or three such paths at a time. fts_open
dups the paths since it could have a large number and need them for
a while. This dramatically reduces (in principle) the amount of allocation
and especially reallocation going on.

A partially-implemented profiler for client time, which basically just
inserts (optional) gettimeofday calls in various places and stashes data
in a flat file containing one data block per pid.

Ports can provide pseudo_wrappers.c or portdefs.h, and individual
functions have implementations. These dependencies aren't known until
post-configure. Make the Makefile include two sub-Makefiles which can
be updated by makewrappers.

This is a moderately intrusive change. The basic overall effect:
Debugging messages are now controlled, not by a numeric "level",
but by a series of flags, which are expressed as a string of
letters. Each flag has a single-letter form used for string
specifications, a name, a description, a numeric value (1 through N),
and a flag value (which is 1 << the numeric value). (This does mean
that no flag has the value 1, so we only have 31 bits available.
Tiny violins play.)
The other significant change is that the pseudo_debug calls
are now implemented with a do/while macro containing a conditional,
so that computationally-expensive arguments are never evaluated
if the corresponding debug flags weren't set. The assumption is
that in the vast majority of cases (specifically, all of them
so far) the debug flags for a given call are a compile-time constant,
so the nested conditional will never actually show up in code
when compiled with optimization; we'll just see the appropriate
conditional test.
The VERBOSE flag is magical, in that if the VERBOSE flag is
used in a message, the debug flags have to have both VERBOSE and
at least one other flag for the call to be made.
This should dramatically improve performance for a lot of cases
without as much need for PSEUDO_NDEBUG, and improve the ability of
users to get coherent debugging output that means something and is
relevant to a given case.
It's also intended to set the stage for future development work
involving improving the clarity and legibility of pseudo's diagnostic
messages in general.
Old things which used numeric values for PSEUDO_DEBUG will sort
of continue to work, though they will almost always be less verbose
than they used to. There should probably be a pass through adding
"| PDBGF_CONSISTENCY" to a lot of the messages that are specific
to some other type.

The openembedded build, at least with RPM or SMART, is heavily affected
by the cost of calling fsync or fdatasync on package databases all the
time. Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if we could suppress that without making
dozens of highly intrusive and risky changes into RPM, various database
packages, and so on?
Yes, yes it would. If only there were a program which could intercept
system calls and change their behavior!
Enter --enable-force-async. There are now wrappers for fsync, fdatasync,
and a few related functions. If --enable-force-async is set, these wrappers
instantly return 0, even if PSEUDO_DISABLED is set. And with any luck,
bitbake will now perform a bit better.
Credit for this insight goes to Richard Purdie. I've reimplemented
this to add the configure option, and make the fsync suppression work
even when PSEUDO_DISABLED is set.

On some Linux systems, dlsym("realpath", RTLD_NEXT) prefers
for reasons of its own to give a symbol that is also known
as old_realpath, which fails and yields EINVAL when called
with a null pointer as the second argument. This can be
avoided, on some systems, by using dlvsym() to request
the GLIBC_2.3 version of the symbol.
The wrapper logic is enhanced to allow for specifying
versions, although this currently only works for Linux
(Darwin has no dlvsym, apparently?). The test case is
a trivial program which calls realpath(name, NULL) run
with PSEUDO_DISABLED=1.

This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented
as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic
idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic
stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary
one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X
10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support
for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases.
There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent
calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.

2010-12-09:
* (mhatle) Add doc/program_flow to attempt to explain startup/running
* (mhatle) guts/* minor cleanup
* (mhatle) Reorganize into a new constructor for libpseudo ONLY
pseudo main() now manually calls the util init
new / revised init for client, wrappers and utils
* (mhatle) Add central "reinit" function
* (mhatle) Add manul execv* functions
* (mhatle) rename pseudo_populate_wrappers to pseudo_check_wrappers

be out of sync in a very inconvenient way.
Changes include:
* Some whitespace fixes, also move the pseudo_variables definition
into pseudo_util.c since it's not used anywhere else.
* Further improvements in the fork() support:
We now recognize both positive and negative forms of PSEUDO_DISABLED,
so we can distinguish between "it was removed from the environment
by env -i" (restore the old value) and "it was intentionally turned
off" (the new value wins).
* clone(2) support. This is a little primitive, and programs might still
fail horribly due to clone's semantics, but at least it's there and
passes easy test cases.
Plus a big patch from Mark Hatle:
Cleanup fork/clone and PSEUDO_DISABLED
guts/fork.c:
* cleanup function and make it more robust
* be sure to call pseudo_setupenv prior to pseudo_client_reset
to match exec behavior
pseudo_wrappers.c:
* fix mismatched type in execl_to_v call via typecast
* Simplify fork call via single call to wrap_fork()
* be sure to save pseudo_disabled
* be sure to call pseudo_setupenv prior to pseudo_client_reset
to match exec behavior
tests:
* Add a test of whether pseudo can be disabled/enabled on a fork.

one.
There's a long story here, but to abbreviate it:
The shell script was annoying at best to maintain and starting to
show signs of not really being the right tool for the job. For
various reasons, we have some other Python stuff in our build system,
so we picked Python as the language we were already using for other
stuff. We think this works with anything reasonably recent (around
Python 2.4 through 2.6).
There's a little bit of cleanup, also, of the wrapper templates.
