[PATCH v3 0/8] Fixes for early logging/prints and related cleanups

[Stefano Brivio]

The most apparent issue fixed by this series is the one from 4/6: with
a log file configured, we wouldn't print to standard error anymore,
during initialisation, which means that users such as libvirt lost
the ability to report meaningful error messages that occurred during
initialisation, in that case.

v3:
- add 2/8: we don't really need --stderr anymore
- in 5/8, save errno at the beginning of the _perror() helper
- in 7/8, avoid assigning errno to whatever return code we have just
  for the sake of using the new helpers: strerror() is actually less
  convoluted than that
- add 8/8: there's no need to call __openlog() with a log file

v2:
- turn flag bitmap into simple, separate boolean flags
- move errno description after message in _perror() functions
- make some of the old perror() messages more descriptive

*** BLURB HERE ***

[PATCH v3 1/8] conf, passt: Don't try to log to stderr after we close it

[Stefano Brivio]

If we don't run in foreground, we close standard error as we
daemonise, so it makes no sense to check if the controlling terminal
is an interactive terminal or if --force-stderr was given, to decide
if we want to log to standard error.

Make --force-stderr depend on --foreground.

[PATCH v3 2/8] conf, passt: Make --stderr do nothing, and deprecate it

[Stefano Brivio]

The original behaviour of printing messages to standard error by
default when running from a non-interactive terminal was introduced
because the first KubeVirt integration draft used to start passt in
foreground and get messages via standard error.

For development purposes, the system logger was more convenient at
that point, and passt was running from interactive terminals only if
not started by the KubeVirt integration.

This behaviour was introduced by 84a62b79a2bc ("passt: Also log to
stderr, don't fork to background if not interactive").

Later, I added command-line options in 1e49d194d017 ("passt, pasta:
Introduce command-line options and port re-mapping") and accidentally
reversed this condition, which wasn't a problem as --stderr could
force printing to standard error anyway (and it was used by KubeVirt).

Nowadays, the KubeVirt integration uses a log file (requested via
libvirt configuration), and the same applies for Podman if one
actually needs to look at runtime logs. There are no use cases left,
as far as I know, where passt runs in foreground in non-interactive
terminals.

Seize the chance to reintroduce some sanity here. If we fork to
background, standard error is closed, so --stderr is useless in that
case.

If we run in foreground, there's no harm in printing messages to
standard error, and that accidentally became the default behaviour
anyway, so --stderr is not needed in that case.

It would be needed for non-interactive terminals, but there are no
use cases, and if there were, let's log to standard error anyway:
the user can always redirect standard error to /dev/null if needed.

Before we're up and running, we need to print to standard error anyway
if something happens, otherwise we can't report failure to start in
any kind of usage, stand-alone or in integrations.

So, make --stderr do nothing, and deprecate it.

While at it, drop a left-over comment about --foreground being the
default only for interactive terminals, because it's not the case
anymore.

[PATCH v3 3/8] conf, log: Instead of abusing log levels, add log_conf_parsed flag

[Stefano Brivio]

We currently use a LOG_EMERG log mask to represent the fact that we
don't know yet what the mask resulting from configuration should be,
before the command line is parsed.

However, we have the necessity of representing another phase as well,
that is, configuration is parsed but we didn't daemonise yet, or
we're not ready for operation yet. The next patch will add that
notion explicitly.

Mapping these cases to further log levels isn't really practical.
Introduce boolean log flags to represent them, instead of abusing
log priorities.

[PATCH v3 4/8] log, passt: Always print to stderr before initialisation is complete

[Stefano Brivio]

After commit 15001b39ef1d ("conf: set the log level much earlier"), we
had a phase during initialisation when messages wouldn't be printed to
standard error anymore.

Commit f67238aa864d ("passt, log: Call __openlog() earlier, log to
stderr until we detach") fixed that, but only for the case where no
log files are given.

If a log file is configured, vlogmsg() will not call passt_vsyslog(),
but during initialisation, LOG_PERROR is set, so to avoid duplicated
prints (which would result from passt_vsyslog() printing to stderr),
we don't call fprintf() from vlogmsg() either.

This is getting a bit too complicated. Instead of abusing LOG_PERROR,
define an internal logging flag that clearly represents that we're not
done with the initialisation phase yet.

If this flag is not set, make sure we always print to stderr, if the
log mask matches.

[PATCH v3 5/8] log: Add _perror() logging function variants

[Stefano Brivio]

In many places, we have direct perror() calls, which completely bypass
logging functions and log files.

They are definitely convenient: offer similar convenience with
_perror() logging variants, so that we can drop those direct perror()
calls.

[PATCH v3 6/8] treewide: Replace perror() calls with calls to logging functions

[Stefano Brivio]

perror() prints directly to standard error, but in many cases standard
error might be already closed, or we might want to skip logging, based
on configuration. Our logging functions provide all that.

While at it, make errors more descriptive, replacing some of the
existing basic perror-style messages.

[PATCH v3 7/8] treewide: Replace strerror() calls

[Stefano Brivio]

Now that we have logging functions embedding perror() functionality,
we can make _some_ calls more terse by using them. In many places,
the strerror() calls are still more convenient because, for example,
they are used in flow debugging functions, or because the return code
variable of interest is not 'errno'.

While at it, convert a few error messages from a scant perror style
to proper failure descriptions.

[PATCH v3 8/8] conf, passt: Don't call __openlog() if a log file is used

[Stefano Brivio]

If a log file is configured, we would otherwise open a connection to
the system logger (if any), print any message that we might have
before we initialise the log file, and then keep that connection
around for no particular reason.

Call __openlog() as an alternative to the log file setup, instead.

This way, we might skip printing some messages during the
initialisation phase, but they're probably not really valuable to
have in a system log, and we're going to print them to standard
error anyway.
