Patch from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to specific
library DSOs.
EAPI was designed to be able to pass
```__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))``` for symbols with
GCC, which would mean that even if -fvisibility=hidden was used
when compiling the library, the needed symbols would get exported.
MSVC __almost__ works like GCC (or mingw) in which you can
declare everything as export and it will just work (slower, but
it will work). But there's a caveat: global variables will not
work the same way for MSVC, but works for mingw and GCC.
For global variables (as opposed to functions), MSVC requires
correct DSO visibility for MSVC: instead of declaring a symbol as
export for everything, you need to declare it as import when
importing from another DSO and export when defining it locally.
With current EAPI definitions, we get the following example
working in mingw and MSVC (observe it doesn't define any global
variables as exported symbols).
Example 1:
dll1:
```
EAPI void foo(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI void foo()
{
printf ("foo\n");
}
```
This works fine with API defined as __declspec(dllexport) in both
cases and for gcc defining as
```__atttribute__((visibility("default")))```.
However, the following:
Example 2:
dll1:
```
EAPI extern int foo;
EAPI void foobar(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo = 5;
foobar();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI int foo = 0;
EAPI void foobar()
{
printf ("foo %d\n", foo);
}
```
This will work on mingw but will not work for MSVC. And that's why
EAPI is the only solution that worked for MSVC.

so i've moved all systemd and elogind support to be runtime only with
dlopen (eina_module) of libsystemd.so.0 (or libelogind.so.0 for elput)
and finding of symbols manually at runtime (if the right code paths or
env vars are set), thus remvoing the need to decide at compile time if
efl needs systemd support or not as it no longer needs systemd
headers/libs at compile time and just at runtime. this simplifies
building a bit and makes efl more adaptive to the final target system
at runtime.
This seems to have been gone a long time ago and only references left
that have not been disturbing the build. Time to clean up!

integrate mman.h to make Evil private to the EFL, as mman.h does not exist on Windows. After a discussion with raster, i include sys/mman.h only on non Windows platform.
One issue, though, is that src/modules/emotion/generic/Emotion_Generic_Plugin.h has inlined functions using mmap()

Summary:
after a fork does happen, the new process does not have any self created
threads at all. However, _thread_cb can contain suspend calls of
ecore_thread_main_loop_begin. _ecore_main_call_flush will then wait in
the suspend block for the thread to call ecore_thread_main_loop_end.
However, the thread is dead, the end function will never be called.
Hence we should ensure that we definitly kill every entry in _thread_cb
that has a susped flag on true.
This fixes deadlocks while running the testsuites with

Animators shouldn't be used as a general purpose timer mechanism,
we could use a timer, but a poller seems to make more sense as
it limits the impact of the instrumentation on the code it's
instrumenting.

so this is then inconsistent with efl.exe and efl.thread, so go back
to being normal with 0'th arg being the binary itself jsut to make
sure we have conistent usage.
so the MAIN loop is actually an efl.app object. which inherits from
efl.loop. the idea is that other loops in threads will not be efl.app
objects. thread on the creator side return an efl.thread object.
inside the thread, like the mainloop, there is now an efl.appthread
object that is for all non-main-loop threads.
every thread (main loop or child) when it spawns a thread is the
parent. there are i/o pipes from parnet to child and back. so parents
are generally expected to, if they want to talk to child thread, so
use the efl.io interfaces on efl.thread, and the main loop's elf.app
class allows you to talk to stdio back to the parent process like the
efl.appthread does the same using the efl.io interfaces to talk to its
parent app or appthread. it's symmetrical
no tests here - sure. i have been holding off on tests until things
settle. that's why i haven't done them yet. those will come back in a
subsequent commit

This reverts commit 28fe00b94e.
Go back to before efl.app because I think this should be done with
superclassing here not a parent object. reasons?
1. multiple loops per single thread make no sense. so if multilpe loop
objects they wont be contained in a single app object and then deleted
like this.
2. the app object is not really sharable in this design so it cant be
accessed from other threads
3. it makes it harder to get the main loop or app object (well 2 func
calls one calling the other and more typing. it is longer to type and
more work where it is not necessary, and again it can't work from
other threads unless we go duplicating efl.app per thread and then
what is the point of splittyign out the signal events from efl.loop
then?)
etc.
this is astart of the work for having a common task class/interface
between loops, threads ane exe's so the i/o is all symmetric and works
the same way between all of them as well as similarly for launching
and knowing when the exit etc. etc.
this is not final and not perfect, but it's a start. comments of
course welcome
This has been bugging me for some time but now we are triggering new errors internally
this is appearing to end users for problems they did not cause.
Additionally I was able to improve a couple of the errors by copying the
explanation from code comments into the error message.
Shorter error logs now too :)
efl.loop was still using legacy ecore_timer_* calls inside. of course
this is a big no-no if we are to allow multiple loops, so clean this
up and convert them to efl.loop.timers.
we really should have data inside the loop object, so begin moving it
one small thing at a time. this is the basics that will allow multiple
efl loops. make an eo efl object and class for fd handlers that is efl loop
bound make fd handlers really bound to their parent loop and not global as
well as have a nice class/obj. create an message queue per loop and
put legacy ecore events on top of it... and a lot more.
this is not 100% done, but it's a lot of the core and groundwork.
various ecore_timer_add(), ecore_diler_add() etc. need changes.
The following still need doing:
ecore_timer (internal usage for sure)
ecore_idler (internal usage for sure)
ecore_idle_enterer
ecore_idle_exiter
ecore_pollers? (is the new efl loop stuff ok?)
ecore_exe (fork/spawn from any thread and track exe from that thread?)
ecore_signal code
ecore_throttle (should we have a single global too? we have per loop)
ecore_app ? (should every loop be given its own argv/argc?)
Lots of internal ecore code uses/calls these legacy calls and we
should have efl loop replacements and/or use the ones we have
The following will bedifferently designed for loop to loop
control/messaging/ipc:
ecore_thread
ecore_pipe
This reverts commit 2c6808e4ee.
this breaks a number of expectations and guarantees in efl:
* causes unexpected event iteration during app startup before main loop begins
- leads to event loss
* causes unexpected event iteration during app shutdown after main loop quits
- leads to invalid memory access
* causes recursive event iteration during event handler callbacks
- leads to ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
all of these can be easily seen by running enlightenment, and all of these cause
unexpected behaviors in enlightenment including, but not limited to, a lot of crashes
fix T5232
If a component emit Ecore_Event and they aren't processed before the
call it call ecore_shutdown, there is no way to prevent this event
from being triggered after the component at shutdown itself. Which
may well lead to a use after free case. As we don't know which event
are pending and we also are not shuting down ecore completely as they
are still other component using it, we can only flush all pending event
right away.
Sometimes during debug of efl_net we get some "extra" sockets from
DBus to talk to upower, localed, timedated... which are helpful in
real life, but pollutes debugging.
Since I don't want to contaminate examples with
ecore_app_no_system_modules(), which could lead users to naively copy
those and end without the system modules features, add an envvar that
I can define in my tests when I need them.
This moved all the eoid tables, eoid lookup caches, generation count
information ad eo_isa cache into a TLS segment of memory that is
thread private. There is also a shared domain for EO objects that all
threads can access, but it has an added cost of a lock. This means
objects accessed outside the thread they were created in cannot be
accessed by another thread unless they are adopted in temporarily, or
create4d with the shared domain active at the time of creation. child
objects will use their parent object domain if created with a parent
object passed in. If you were accessing EO (EFL) objects across threads
before then this will actually now cause your code to fail as it was
invalid before to do this as no actual objects were threadsafe in EFL,
so this will force things to "fail early".
ecore_thread_main_loop_begin() and end() still work as this uses the
eo domain adoption features to temporarily adopt a domain during this
section and then return it when done.
This returns speed back to eo brining the overhead in my tests of
lookup for the elm genlist autobounce test in elementary from about
5-7% down to 2.5-2.6%. A steep drop.
This does not mean everything is perfect. Still to do are:
1. Tests in the test suite
2. Some API's to help for sending objects from thread to thread
3. Make the eo call cache TLS data to make it also safe
4. Look at other locks in eo and probably move them to TLS data
5. Make eo resolve and call wrappers that call the real method func do
recursive mutex wrapping of the given object IF it is a shared object
to provide threadsafety transparently for shared objects (but adding
some overhead as a result)
6. Test test est, and that is why this commit is going in now for wider
testing
7. Decide how to make this work with sending IPC (between threads)
8. Deciding what makes an object sendable (a sendable property in base?)
9. Deciding what makes an object shareable (a sharable property in base?)
i've fixed almost all the eina init/shutdown pairs to do the right
thing now... except one (ecore_shutdown) with comment inline where
eo_shutdown is not called. if this is called we are in crash land.
this needs further inspection.
As we add more object in the main loop, they can't live in the top
namespace as they make little sense there (Efl.Fd !). For coherence,
everyone should in the loop namespace, so move timer there.
This reverts commit 546ff7bbba.
It seems that eo_del() is useful and removing it was creating bugs.
The issue is that the way we defined parents in eo, both the parent and
the programmer share a reference to the object. When we eo_unref() that
reference as the programmer, eo has no way to know it's this specific
reference we are freeing, and not a general one, so in some
circumstances, for example:
eo_ref(child);
eo_unref(child); // trying to delete here
eo_unref(container); // container is deleted here
eo_unref(child); // child already has 0 refs before this point.
We would have an issue with references and objects being freed too soon
and in general, issue with the references.
Having eo_del() solves that, because this one explicitly unparents if
there is a parent, meaning the reference ownership is explicitly taken
by the programmer.
eo_del() is essentially a convenience function around "check if has
parent, and if so unparent, otherwise, unref". Which should be used when
you want to delete an object although it has a parent, and is equivalent
to eo_unref() when it doesn't have one.
