It was never used for anything and messages in debug output already
include filenames, which can be easily grepped if there is a need
to see log messages only from a particular file.
Move the res_init() call from do_name_to_ipaddress() into a separate
privops operation. Use it in ntp_sources and avoid unnecessary
res_init() calls in the main thread.
If the whole process group receives a signal (e.g. CTRL-C in terminal),
the helper process needs to keep running until it gets the QUIT request,
so the system drivers can still use it in their finalisation, e.g. to
cancel remaining slew.
In receive_reponse() don't interpret return codes in helper responses as
a non-zero value may not necessarily mean an error. Just copy errno if
it's not zero and let PRV_* functions deal with the return code.
Rename PRV_Initialise() to PRV_StartHelper() and add a new
initialisation function, which just sets the helper fd to -1. Move
the initialision/finalisation calls from the system drivers to main.c.
If privops is not included in the build, define empty macros for the
function names, so their calls don't have to be wrapped in #ifdefs.
With SOCK_DGRAM sockets, the helper doesn't stop as there is no error
received when the socket is closed on the daemon side.
Add a QUIT operation to the protocol which is requested when the daemon
is exiting. It has no response. Register the stopping function with
atexit() to stop the helper even when the daemon is not exiting cleanly,
e.g. due to a fatal error.
Split out the sending part of the function into send_request() and
rename it to submit_request(). This will be useful to send a request
without waiting for a response.
Also, remove the fd parameter from the functions and just use helper_fd
directly.
SOCK_SEQPACKET is preferred over SOCK_DGRAM for communication with the
helper as the process will get an error when the other end of the socket
is closed. It's not supported on all platforms.
If SOCK_SEQPACKET is defined, try creating the pair of sockets with this
type first and if that fails, fall back to SOCK_DGRAM.
