2013-06-25Change debugging to use flags rather than levelsPeter Seebach
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.

2010-08-11Enable local variable cacheMark Hatle
Add local variable cache via get_value and set_value. The local cache is setup at constructor time (or soon after). Rewrite the pseudo_setupenv and pseudo_dropenv routines, add a new pseudo_setupenvp and pseudo_dropenvp as well to handle the execve cases. We can now successfully use /usr/bin/env -i env and get pseudo values back!
2010-08-04Add new environment values to allow easy override of default locationsMark Hatle
Add PSEUDO_BINDIR, PSEUDO_LIBDIR, and PSEUDO_LOCALSTATEDIR to allow for more easy customization of PSEUDO components at run-time. If these are not set they will be automatically generated based on the existing PSEUDO_PREFIX path. PSEUDO_BINDIR = PSEUDO_PREFIX /bin PSEUDO_LIBDIR = PSEUDO_PREFIX /lib PSEUDO_LOCALSTATEDIR = PSEUDO_PREFIX /var/pseudo Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-04-30Cleanup of pdb_historyPeter Seebach
pdb_history was overloaded as a delete function. Separated this out into a query-builder and a pair of functions to use it, which makes it cleaner.

2010-04-26Updates/improvements for loggingPeter Seebach
Send program name (program_invocation_name from glibc) along with the tag. Along the way, restructure the fds/pids/tags arrays to be an array of client structures in pseudo_server, and add the message type to the set of things logged -- logging that a message was a ping is more useful than appending the text "ping" to it. Add support for type and program to pseudolog. Add deletion to pseudolog. Handle usage message formatting when there's an odd number of known specifiers for pseudolog.

2010-03-26Change default format for pseudolog.Peter Seebach
unlink and symlink are over 5 characters, so change default format to %-7o for operation.
2010-03-26Add support for intercepting execve()Peter Seebach
This allows us to track execution, although the tracking for it requires some additional thought -- the basic assumption is that we don't want to canonicalize names into the chroot() directory, but since all the filename canonicalization assumes that we want this, that will take some sneaking. It's a little useful as is, though, so I'm running with it.
2010-03-26Track file open flagsPeter Seebach
This patch adds support for checking whether a file was opened for reading, writing, or both, as well as tracking append flags. It is not very well tested. This is preparation for improved host contamination checking.
2010-03-26Updates: Enable additional warnings, fix a number of things.Peter Seebach
None of them seem to have been genuine problems, but it's prettier now, and some were questionable.
