Harald Welte b72867f0e6 logging: Change stderr + file target to use non-blocking write
So far, we used blocking, buffered fwrite() to write to stderr
and file targets.  This causes problems if there are [slow] consumers
causing delays, such as gnome-terminal (when the program is started
interactively) or systemd/journald (where we observe 64..128ms blocks on
stderr).

This patch introduces stderr/file based logging via write_queue
and osmo_select_main(), i.e. switch from glibc-buffered, blocking
to internally buffered, non-blocking writes.

* when osmo_stderr_target is created via application.c, we create it
  in blocking stream mode for backwards compatibility, particularly
  for [smaller] programs that don't use osmo_select_main()

* when the VTY code encounters 'log stderr' or 'log file FILENAME',
  we switch that respective target to non-blocking write-queue mode,
  as this means the application is in fact using osmo_select_main()

* The config file can now state 'log stderr blocking-io' or
  'log file FILENAME blocking-io' to explicitly enforce using blocking
  stream based I/O

* The application can at any time use API functions to switch either way

Closes: OS#4311

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmocore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
