With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices.
This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly.
Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name
stack - they are unique and can not conflict.
External programs triggered by events (via RUN=) will inherit udev's
signal mask, which is set to block all but SIGALRM. For most utilities,
this is OK, but if we start daemons from RUN=, we run into trouble
(especially as SIGCHLD is blocked).
This change saves the original sigmask when udev starts, and restores it
just before we exec() the external command.

That was a mistake. The variable is needed to be set before
we parse the file. Thanks a lot to Alan Jenkins for spotting
this.
This reverts commit 710fdac1e4.
POSIX.1-2001 declares usleep() function obsolete and POSIX.1-2008
removes it.
[Kay Sievers]
- include time.h
- use const for timespec
- scsi_id: drop rand() in retry loop
- modem-probe: rename msuspend() to msleep()
Fix spelling in docbook comments, code comments, and a local variable
name. Thanks to "ispell -h" for docbook HTML and "scspell" for source
code.

It did not work for the last couple of releases.
If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark
the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with:
udevadm trigger --type=failed
The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be
ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed
dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that
something is used in a way it should not.
The introduction of the --resolve-names=early/never code introduced a
bug to the OWNER/GROUP lookup. Previously if the name had contained $,
lookup would have been performed later; after the patch, the key ended
up being ignored!
When building with './configure --enable-debug && make' it fails with:
udev-rules.c: In function ‘dump_token’:
udev-rules.c:366: error: ‘struct <anonymous>’ has no member named ‘i’

This allows you to re-process the rules if the content of the device
has been changed, most useful for block subsystem to cause vol_id to
be run again.
In certain cut-down situations such as an installer or inside the
initramfs, we simply don't have any kind of name service. While we
could use rules without OWNER or GROUP, it's better to have the same
rules as a full system and have udevd ignore those parts of the rules.
Adds a --resolve-names=never switch to udevd that has this effect.
Since a while we change the database with a "test" run, but do not update
the node and symlinks. We need to "force" all the time, to keep things
in sync.
On my Ubuntu installation this removes 15k of duplicate strings,
using a temporary index of about 25k.

If compiled without optimization, the dbg() macro dereferences variables
which are not available. Convert the string array to a function, which just
returns NULL if compiled without DEBUG.
