Event lib support as it has been isn't scaling well, at the low level
libevent and libev headers have a namespace conflict so they can't
both be built into the same image, and at the distro level, binding
all the event libs to libwebsockets.so makes a bloaty situation for
packaging, lws will drag in all the event libs every time.
This patch implements the plan discussed here
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/issues/1980
and refactors the event lib support so they are built into isolated
plugins and bound at runtime according to what the application says
it wants to use. The event lib plugins can be packaged individually
so that only the needed sets of support are installed (perhaps none
of them if the user code is OK with the default poll() loop). And
dependent user code can mark the specific event loop plugin package
as required so pieces are added as needed.
The eventlib-foreign example is also refactored to build the selected
lib support isolated.
A readme is added detailing the changes and how to use them.

Move the common plugin scanning dir stuff to be based on lws_dir, which
already builds for windows. Previously this was done via dirent for unix
and libuv for windows.
Reduce the dl plat stuff to just wrap instantiation and destruction of
dynlibs, establish common code in lib/misc/dir.c for plugin scanning
itself.
Migrate the libuv windows dl stuff to windows-plugins.c, so that he's
available even if later libuv loop support becomes and event lib plugin.
Remove the existing api exports scheme for plugins, just export a const struct
now which has a fixed header type but then whatever you want afterwards depending
on the class / purpose of the plugin. Place a "class" string in the header so
there can be different kinds of plugins implying different types exported.
Make the plugin apis public and add support for filter by class string, and
per instantation / destruction callbacks so the subclassed header type can
do its thing for the plugin class. The user provides a linked-list base
for his class of plugins, so he can manage them completely separately and
in user code / user export types.
Rip out some last hangers-on from generic sessions / tables.
This is all aimed at making the plugins support general enough so it can
provide event lib plugins later.
As far as I know there are no users of this, although it worked
it's basically unmaintainable due to handling the sql and JSON
manually.
Gradually better capabilities have appeared in lws, like
lws_struct abstracting out the sql and JSON, and now generic
JWT... these have been used in Sai to great effect and displaced
the only organic would-be user of this.
There is a better path to do this stuff now and no point keeping
this around.
LWS_EXTERN needs to be empty for windows when declaring functions in the
headers. But for data, it needs the explicit extern otherwise on windows
or mingw based builds, it thinks we are redeclaring the data each time.
Adapt the pt sul owner list to be an array, and define two different lists,
one that acts like before and is the default for existing users, and another
that has the ability to cooperate with systemwide suspend to restrict the
interval spent suspended so that it will wake in time for the earliest
thing on this wake-suspend sul list.
Clean the api a bit and add lws_sul_cancel() that only needs the sul as the
argument.
Add a flag for client creation info to indicate that this client connection
is important enough that, eg, validity checking it to detect silently dead
connections should go on the wake-suspend sul list. That flag is exposed in
secure streams policy so it can be added to a streamtype with
"swake_validity": true
Deprecate out the old vhost timer stuff that predates sul. Add a flag
LWS_WITH_DEPRECATED_THINGS in cmake so users can get it back temporarily
before it will be removed in a v4.2.
Adapt all remaining in-tree users of it to use explicit suls.
Establish a new distributed CMake architecture with CMake code related to
a source directory moving to be in the subdir in its own CMakeLists.txt.
In particular, there's now one in ./lib which calls through to ones
further down the directory tree like ./lib/plat/xxx, ./lib/roles/xxx etc.
This cuts the main CMakelists.txt from 98KB -> 33KB, about a 66% reduction,
and it's much easier to maintain sub-CMakeLists.txt that are in the same
directory as the sources they manage, and conceal all the details that that
level.
Child CMakelists.txt become responsible for:
- include_directories() definition (this is not supported by CMake
directly, it passes it back up via PARENT_SCOPE vars in helper
macros)
- Addition child CMakeLists.txt inclusion, for example toplevel ->
role -> role subdir
- Source file addition to the build
- Dependent library path resolution... this is now a private thing
in the child CMakeLists.txt, it just passes back any adaptations
to include_directories() and the LIB_LIST without filling the
parent namespace with the details
Replace the bash selftest plumbing with CTest.
To use the selftests, build with -DLWS_WITH_MINIMAL_EXAMPLES=1
and `CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1 make test` or just
`make test`.
To disable tests that require internet access, also give
-DLWS_CTEST_INTERNET_AVAILABLE=0
Remove travis and appveyor scripts on master.
Remove travis and appveyor decals on README.md.
lejp_parse() return type is an int... but in the function, the temp
for it is a char. This leads to badness that is currently worked
around by casting the return through a signed char type.
But that leads to more badness since if there's >127 bytes of buffer
left after the end of the JSON object, we misreport it.
Bite the bullet and fix the temp type, and fix up all the guys
who were working around it at the caller return casting to use the
resulting straight int.
If you are using this api, remove any casting you may have cut-
and-pasted like this
n = (int)(signed char)lejp_parse(...);
... to just be like this...
n = lejp_parse(...);
Continue with lws_struct, add sqlite support for one
level of lws_dll2_t lists of structs serialization and
deserialization, plus the matching api-test.
Headers related to ws or h2 are now elided if the ws or h2 role
is not enabled for build. In addition, a new build-time option
LWS_WITH_HTTP_UNCOMMON_HEADERS on by default allows removal of
less-common http headers to shrink the parser footprint.
Minilex is adapted to produce 8 different versions of the lex
table, chosen at build-time according to which headers are
included in the build.
If you don't need the unusual headers, or aren't using h2 or ws,
this chops down the size of the ah and the rodata needed to hold
the parsing table from 87 strings / pointers to 49, and the
parsing table from 1177 to 696 bytes.
There are some minor public api type improvements rather than cast everywhere
inside lws and user code to work around them... these changed from int to
size_t
- lws_buflist_use_segment() return
- lws_tokenize_t .len and .token_len
- lws_tokenize_cstr() length
- lws_get_peer_simple() namelen
- lws_get_peer_simple_fd() namelen, int fd -> lws_sockfd_type fd
- lws_write_numeric_address() len
- lws_sa46_write_numeric_address() len
These changes are typically a NOP for user code
Kernel update changed the /sys path for temp monitoring... the status had
already emitted a , in the json committing it to make a new entry, but the
code skips making it if the file can't be opened.
Change it to produce "(unknown)" in that case.
Generic sessions has been overdue some love to align it with
the progress in the rest of lws.
1) Strict Content Security Policy
2) http2 compatibility
3) fixes and additions for use in a separate process via unix domain socket
4) work on ws and http proxying in lws
5) add minimal example

thanks to Bruce Perens for noting it.
This doesn't change the intention or status of the CC0 files, they were
pure CC0 before (ie, public domain) and they are pure CC0 now. It just
gets rid of the (C) part at the top of the dedication which may be read
to be a bit contradictory since the purpose is to make it public domain.

This implements the "genec" layer wrapping mbedtls + openssl
ECDH support.
API tests are added for the parts that are implemented so far.
Stuff related to ec at all, like keys, are prefixed lws_genec_.
Stuff specific to ECDH are prefixed lws_genecdh_.
Although RSA can be used directly for signing / JWS
on large chunks of data since it's only operating on
the hash, when JWE support arrives, which allows bulk
encryption, it's going to be mandatory to support
secondary AES ciphers to use on the bulk data.
This adds generic support for all AES modes that OpenSSL
and mbedTLS have in common, works on both mbedTLS and
OpenSSL the same, and adds unit tests for each mode
in api-test-gencrypto, to run in CI.
