By convention, a function that frobs a foo_t should be called
foo_frob, and it should have a foo_t * as its first argument. But
for many of the buf_t functions, the buf_t was the final argument,
which is silly.
Our convention is that functions which manipulate a type T should be
named T_foo. But the buffer functions were super old, and followed
all kinds of conventions. Now they're uniform.
Here's the perl I used to do this:
\#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i -p
s/read_to_buf\(/buf_read_from_socket\(/;
s/flush_buf\(/buf_flush_to_socket\(/;
s/read_to_buf_tls\(/buf_read_from_tls\(/;
s/flush_buf_tls\(/buf_flush_to_tls\(/;
s/write_to_buf\(/buf_add\(/;
s/write_to_buf_compress\(/buf_add_compress\(/;
s/move_buf_to_buf\(/buf_move_to_buf\(/;
s/peek_from_buf\(/buf_peek\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf\(/buf_get_bytes\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf_line\(/buf_get_line\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf_line\(/buf_get_line\(/;
s/buf_remove_from_front\(/buf_drain\(/;
s/peek_buf_startswith\(/buf_peek_startswith\(/;
s/assert_buf_ok\(/buf_assert_ok\(/;
The GNU C Library (glibc) offers an function which allocates the
necessary memory automatically [0]. When it is available, we use that.
Otherwise we depend upon the `getcwd` function which requires a
preallocated buffer (and its size). This function was used incorrectly
by depending on the initial buffer size being big enough and otherwise
failing to return the current working directory. The proper way of
getting the current working directory requires a loop which doubles the
buffer size if `getcwd` requires it. This code was copied from [1] with
modifications to fit the context.

We don't actually want Coverity to complain when a BUG() check can
never fail, since such checks can prevent us from introducing bugs
later on.
Closes ticket 23054. Closes CID 1415720, 1415724.
Instead of choosing a lower-priority job with a 1/37 chance, have
the chance be 1/37 for half the threads, and 1/2147483647 for the
other half. This way if there are very slow jobs of low priority,
they shouldn't be able to grab all the threads when there is better
work to do.
Each piece of queued work now has an associated priority value; each
priority goes on a separate queue.
With probability (N-1)/N, the workers will take work from the highest
priority nonempty queue. Otherwise, they'll look for work in a
queue of lower priority. This behavior is meant to prevent
starvation for lower-priority tasks.
In the Linux kernel, the BUG() macro causes an instant panic. Our
BUG() macro is different, however: it generates a nonfatal assertion
failure, and is usable as an expression.
Additionally, this patch tells util_bug.h to make all assertion
failures into fatal conditions when we're building with a static
analysis tool, so that the analysis tool can look for instances
where they're reachable.
Fixes bug 23030.
