66607ebc0e logd: document ro.logd.size
Bad comment advise in LogBuffer.cpp results in partners failing to
considering using ro.logd.size to set the platform buffer size
default.

NB: It is not good practice to increase the log buffer size to deal
with logspam, as increases will result in logd scale issues getting
closer to hitting the background cgroup cpu cap. Once we hit that
cap, logd spirals, pruning old entries slower than the incoming log
entries. logd.writer will take 100% cpu.

bec3c3def9 logd: Add worst pid of system filter
- Add a new statistic that reports per pid and log_id for AID_SYSTEM
- Add a new pruning filter ~1000/! boolean
- Use this new statistic to prune on worst pid within AID_SYSTEM

9c66a58f21 logd: Allow flags "eng" and "svelte" in boolean
- enhance property_get_bool, drop property_get_bool_svelte
- enhance base properties with ro and persist variants
- update and fortify README.property
- primarily move auditd and kernel logger into a realm where
  they can be controlled by build properties.
- Move logd.klogd to logd.kernel, and add ro.logd.kernel
  and persist.logd.kernel.
- Add ro.logd.auditd and persist.logd.auditd.
- Document persist.logd.security
- Document log.tag and persist.logd.tag properties.
- Document ro.logd.size, persist.logd.size and logd.size
  properties.

b6bee33182 liblog: logd: support logd.timestamp = monotonic
if ro.logd.timestamp or persist.logd.timestamp are set to the value
monotonic then liblog writer, liblog printing and logd all switch to
recording/printing monotonic time rather than realtime. If reinit
detects a change for presist.logd.timestamp, correct the older entry
timestamps in place.

ToDo: A corner case condition where new log entries in monotonic time
      occur before logd reinit detects persist.logd.timestamp, there
      will be a few out-of-order entries, but with accurate
      timestamps. This problem does not happen for ro.logd.timestamp
      as it is set before logd starts.

NB: This offers a nano second time accuracy on all log entries
    that may be more suitable for merging with other system
    activities, such as systrace, that also use monotonic time. This
    feature is for debugging.

932f7acc81 logd: Add support for *.logd.filter
- Add device (ro.logd.filter), persistent (persist.logd.filter)
  properties to control the default filters
- Allow logcat -P default to produce expected results
- Allow logcat -P disable to produce expected results

100658c303 init.rc: logd: Add logpersistd (nee logcatd)
- logpersistd is defined as a thread or process in the context of the
  logd domain. Here we define logpersistd as logcat -f in logd domain
  and call it logcatd to represent its service mechanics.
- Use logcatd to manage content in /data/misc/logd/ directory.
- Only turn on for persist.logd.logpersistd = logcatd.
- Add logpersist.start, logpersist.stop and logpersist.cat debug
  class executables, thus only in the eng and userdebug builds.

ToDo: Wish to add Developer Options menu to turn this feature on or
off, complicated by the fact that user builds have no tools with
access rights to /data/misc/logd.

ae4d928d81 logd: Add klogd
- Add a klogd to collect the kernel logs and place them into a
  new kernel log buffer
- Parse priority, tag and message from the kernel log messages.
- Turn off pruning for worst UID for the kernel log buffer
- Sniff for 'PM: suspend exit', 'PM: suspend enter' and
  'Suspended for' messages and correct the internal definition
  time correction against monotonic dynamically.
- Discern if we have monotonic or real time (delineation 1980) in
  audit messages.
- perform appropriate math to correct the timestamp to be real time
- filter out any external sources of kernel logging

4ed16b4381 Revert "logd: Add minimum time bucket statistics"
This forward port reverts
    commit e457b74ce6

No longer as necessary once we add
    liblog: Instrument logging of logd write drops
Although this provided an indication of how close statistically we
were to overloading logd it is simpler to understand fails thus to
hunt and peck a corrected value for /proc/sys/net/unix/max_dgram_qlen
