The core library now contains the maxscale_shutdown() command. This makes
it possible to resolve all symbols at link time even for administrative
modules.
In principle a syslog priority consists of a syslog level
bit-or:d with a syslog facility. That's clear from the syslog
man page, but not so clear from the code in syslog.h.
Anyway, to make it possible to log using a specific facility
(instead of the default LOG_USER), we must allow priorities
that include a specified facility.
The log manager could send two messages if a log message was posted soon
before the log manager was stopped. This caused a debug assertion which
then manifested as a deadlock inside the log manager.
The internal header directory conflicted with in-source builds causing a
build failure. This is fixed by renaming the internal header directory to
something other than maxscale.
The renaming pointed out a few problems in a couple of source files that
appeared to include internal headers when the headers were in fact public
headers.
Fixed maxctrl in-source builds by making the copying of the sources
optional.
If the session id is known, it will be logged together with all
messages. If present, the session id appears, enclosed in paranthesis,
right after the message category. E.g.

Earlier when the log file was flushed, it was also truncated,
which meant that the log content was log, unless the file first
was moved. Now it will only be opened. Thus, no data can be lost
due to the operation. If logrotate it used, the end result will
be the same, as the file is moved first.
Thread-safe version of strerror; thread local buffer used for storing
the message. The performance penalty of a thread local buffer is not
likely to be significant, since this is only called in an error
situation that anyway is likely to interrupt the normal processing.

With this change, whether something should be logged or, that is,
whether the used log priority is enabled or not, is checked before
the logging function is called. That should save a few cycles.
Now mxs_log_message() always logs a message, without consideration
for whether the priority is enabled or not. The inline function
mxs_log_is_priority_enabled() returns true if a particular priority
is enabled and the MXS_LOG_MESSAGE() macro (that MXS_ERROR etc. are
expanded into) call that before calling the actual logging function.
The general purpose stuff in skygw_utils.h was moved to utils.h
and the corresponding implementation from skygw_utils.cc to utils.c.
Includes updated accordingly.
Skygw_utils.h is now only used by log_manager and by mlist, which
is only used by log_manager. Consequently, skygw_utils.h was moved
to server/maxscale.
Utils.h needs a separate overhaul.
- STRERROR_BUFLEN moved to cdefs.h and renamed to MXS_STRERROR_BUFLEN.
Better would be to provide a 'const char* mxs_strerror(int errno)'
that would have a thread specific buffer for the error message.
- MIN and MAX also moved to defs.h as MXS_MIN and MXS_MAX.
- Now only mlist.h of the headers depend upon skygw_utils.h.
- Headers now to be included as <maxscale/xyz.h>
- First step, no cleanup of headers has been made. Only moving
from one place to another + necessary modifications.
As errors and warnings are throttled, there is a need for being able
to log severe errors without ever having them throttled (e.g. when
logging the stack in conjunction with a crash).
MXS_ALERT should only be used in a context where the process is known
to be going down, either via crash or explicit exit.
