cfcf794e5f Add a flag, -T, that tells syslogd to always replace the timestamp on
messages from the network. We already replace malformatted timestamps
and this option lets us replace timestamps that are correctly formatted
but wrong.

6f540420dd Two no-op fixes to improve corretness of syslogd code:
1) Use [AP]F_LOCAL rather than [AP]F_UNIX.
2) When copying a pipe's name, use f->f_un.f_pipe.f_pname, not f->f_un.f_fname.

for the port to drain).
+ Handle "*" as a priority properly.
+ Test what is free'ed.
+ Dynamically determine length vs. hardcoding it.
+ Free the previous message buffer (f_prevline) only after logging all the
  messages and just before the process exit.  Also check f_prevline for NULL
  before using it.
+ The time displayed is not synchornized with the other log destinations.
+ Fix a comment.

be389c75f0 Add the ability to log to an arbitrary udp port as well as the
standard syslog port. This allows syslog to easily export lines of interest to
an external logging system.

ae4f0fc3a9 Currently, if writing out a log entry fails, we unlink that log entry from our
internal list of logfiles. So if writev(2) fails for potentially transient
errors like ENOSPC, syslogd requires a restart, even if the filesystem has
purged.

This change allows syslogd to ignore ENOSPC space errors, so that when the
filesystem is cleaned up, syslogd will automatically start logging again
without requiring the reset. This makes syslogd(8) a bit more reliable.

c503ddf2cc By default (for security reasons) syslogd(8) doesn't create log files
when they don't exist, but sometimes its quite useful (eg. we use
non-standard log files and memory backed /var/, which is populated on
boot).

Add -C option which tells syslogd(8) to create log files if they don't
exist.

8e56d2ee05 Add cases for ENOBUFS and ENETDOWN. We need to make sure that we
catch all transient errors. This fixes situations where transient
error conditions such as network interfaces losing carrier signals
or the system running out of mbufs would result in the permanent
removal of forwarding syslog messages.

e1906bda7b Where syslogd would have fsync()ed a file in the past, instead set a flag
FFLAG_NEEDSYNC and fsync the file when select() next returns zero.  This
dramatically speeds up the process of logging large amounts of data, while
leaving the essential semantics (that data can be expected to be on disk
if we crash) unchanged.

In my tests, this speeds up the rc phase of booting by 18-20%. [1]

0f2ffc4e31 A log file name may now be prefixed by a '-' if it should not be
explicitly fsynced after kernel messages are logged. This option
should be syntax compatible with a similar option in Linux syslogd.

3b7e120185 Try to be more careful about using using the file descriptor f_file.
Syslogd should ensure that f_file is a valid file descriptor when
f_type is FILE, CONSOLE, TTY and for a PIPE where f_pid > 0. If the
descriptor is closed/invalid then the type should be set to UNUSED
or the pid should be set to 0.

To this end:
1) Don't close(f->f_file) if we can't send a message to a remote
   host because the file descriptor used for remote logging is
   stored in finet, not in f->f_file. f->f_file is probably
   uninitialised, so I guess we usually end up closing fd 0.
2) Don't close PIPE file descriptors if they are invalid.
3) If the call to p_open fails, don't set the pid.

The OpenBSD patches in this area set f_file to -1 after the fd is
closed and then avoids calling close if f_file < 0. I haven't done
this, but it might be a good idea too.
