In a scenario in which an on-line (blocking) client is running and
a clean is attempted (logcat -c), the following can be observed:
1) the on-line logger seems to freeze
2) any other clear attempt will have no effect
What is actually happening:
In this case prune function will "instruct" the oldest timeEntry
to skip a huge number (very close to ULONG_MAX) of messages, this
being the cause of 1.
Since the consumer thread will skip all the log entries, mStart
updating will also be skipped. So a new cleaning attempt will have
the same oldest entry, nothing will be done.
Fix description:
a. keep a separated skipAhead count for individual log buffers (log_id_t)
LogTimeEntry::LogTimeEntry
LogTimeEntry::FilterSecondPass
LogTimeEntry::skipAhead
LogTimeEntry::riggerSkip_Locked
b. update LogTimeEntry::mStart even if the current message is skipped
LogTimeEntry::FilterSecondPass
c. while pruning, only take into account the LogTimeEntrys that are monitoring
the log_id in question, and provide a public method of checking this.
LogTimeEntry::isWatching
LogTimeEntry::FilterFirstPass
LogTimeEntry::FilterSecondPass
d. Reset the skip cont befor the client thtread starts to sleep, at this point
we should be up to date.
LogTimeEntry::cleanSkip_Locked
LogTimeEntry::threadStart

* Merge conflicts
* rename new syslog daemon to logd to prevent confusion with bionic syslog
* replace racy getGroups call with KISS call to client->getGid()
* Timestamps are filed at logging source
* insert entries into list in timestamp order
* Added LogTimeEntry tail filtration handling
* Added region locking around LogWriter list
* separate threads for each writer
* /dev/socket/logd* permissions
