Add a -M option to control the maximum length of forwarded messages.
syslogd(8) used to truncate forwarded messages to 1024 bytes, but after
commit 1a874a126a ("Add RFC 5424 syslog message output to syslogd.")
applies a more conservative limit of 480 bytes for IPv4 per RFC 5426
section 3.2. Restore the old default behaviour of truncating to 1024
bytes. RFC 5424 specifies no upper limit on the length of forwarded
messages, while for RFC 3164 the limit is 1024 bytes.
Increase MAXLINE to 8192 bytes to correspond to commit 672ef817a192.
Replaced bootfile[] size for MAXPATHLEN used in getbootfile(3) as a
returned value. Using (MAXLINE+1) as a size for bootfile[] is excessive.

Specifically this was causing the /dev/klog fd and the signal pipe
handling fd to get a sendmsg(2) called on them and always returned
[ENOTSOCK].
r310350 combined these sockets into the main socket list and properly
skipped AF_UNSPEC at the sendmsg(2) call but later in r344739 it was
broken such that these special sockets were no longer excluded since
the AF_UNSPEC check specifically excluded these special sockets. Only
these special sockets have sl_sa = NULL. The sl_family checks should
be redundant now but are left in case of future changes so the intent
is clearer.

This behavior is most relevant for ipfw(4) as documented in syslog.conf(5).
The recent addition of property-based regex filters in r359327 is a
fine workaround for this but the behavior was present since 1997 and
documented.
This only fixes local matching of the "kernel program". It does not
change the forwarded format at all. On the remote side it will still
be "kernel: ipfw:" and not be parsed as a kernel message. This matches
old behavior.

Property-based filters allow substring and regular expressions
(see re_format(7)) matching against various message attributes.
Filter specification starts with '#:' or ':' followed by three
comma-separated fields property, operator, "value". Value must be
double-quoted. A double quote and backslash must be escaped by a
blackslash.
Following properties are supported as test value:
o msg - body of the message received;
o programname - program name sent the message;
o hostname - hostname of message's originator;
o source - an alias for hostname.
Supported operators:
o contains - true if filter value is found as a substring of property;
o isequal - true if filter value is equal to property;
o startswith - true if property starts with filter value;
o regex - true if property matches basic regular expression defined
in filter value;
o ereregex - true if property matches extended regular expression
defined in filter value;
Operator may be prefixed by '!' to invert compare logic or by
'icase_' to make comparison function case insensitive.

The refactoring of the syslogd code to format messages using iovecs
slightly altered the output of syslogd by placing the facility/priority

The changes made in r326573 required that messages always start with an
RFC 3164 timestamp. It looks like certain devices, but also certain
logging libraries (Python 3's "logging" package) simply don't generate
RFC 3164 formatted messages containing a timestamp.
Make timestamps optional again. When the timestamp is missing, also
assume that the message contains no hostname. The first word of the
message likely already belongs to the message payload.

To conform to RFC 5426, this function is intended to truncate messages

- Move all of the code responsible for transmitting log messages into a
separate function, fprintlog_write().
- Instead of manually modifying a list of iovecs, add a structure
iovlist with some helper functions.
- Alter the F_FORW (UDP message forwarding) case to also use iovecs like
the other cases. Use sendmsg() instead of sendto().
- In the case of F_FORW, truncate the message to a size dependent on the
address family (AF_INET, AF_INET6), as proposed by RFC 5426.
- Move all traditional message formatting into fprintlog_bsd(). Get rid
of some of the string copying and snprintf()'ing. Simply emit more
iovecs to get the job done.
- Increase ttymsg()'s limit of 7 iovecs to 32. Add a definition for this
limit, so it can be reused by iovlist.
- Add fprintlog_rfc5424() to emit RFC 5424 formatted log entries.
- Add a "-O" command line option to enable RFC 5424 formatting. It would
have been nicer if we supported "-o rfc5424", just like on NetBSD.
Unfortunately, the "-o" flag is already used for a different purpose
on FreeBSD.
- Don't truncate hostnames in the RFC 5424 case, as suggested by that
specific RFC.
For people interested in using this, this feature can be enabled by
adding the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
syslogd_flags="-s -O rfc5424"

Now that all of parsemsg() parses both RFC 3164 and 5424 messages and
hands them to logmsg(), alter the latter to properly forward all RFC
5424 message attributes to fprintlog(). While there, make some minor
cleanups to this code:
- Instead of extending the existing code that compares hostnames and
message bodies for deduplication, print all of the relevant message
fields into a single string that we can compare ('saved').
- No longer let the behaviour of fprintflog() depend on whether
'msg == NULL' to print repetition messages, Simply decompose this
function into fprintlog_first() and fprintlog_successive(). This
makes the interpretation of function arguments less magical and also
allows us to get consistent behaviour across RFC 3164 and 5424 when
adding support for the RFC 5424 output format.
- As RFC 5424 syslog messages have a dedicated application name field,
alter the repetition messages to be printed on behalf of syslogd on
the current system. Change these messages to use the local hostname,
so that it's obvious which syslogd instance detected the repetition.
Remove f_prevhost, as it has now become unnecessary.
- Remove a useless strdup(). Deconsting the message string is safe in
this specific case.
Syslogd currently uses the RFC 3164 format for its log messages.One
limitation of RFC 3164 is that it cannot be used to log entries with
sub-second precision timestamps. One of our users has expressed a desire
for doing this for doing some basic performance measurements.
This change attempts to make a first cut at switching to RFC 5424 based
logging. The first step is to alter syslogd's input path to properly
parse such messages. It alters the logmsg() prototype to match the
fields of RFC 5424. The parsemsg() function is extended to parse both
RFC 3164 and 5424 messages and call into logmsg() accordingly.
Additional changes include:
- Introducing proper parsing of timestamps, so that they can be printed
in any desired output format. This means we need to infer the year and
timezone for RFC 3164 timestamps.
- Removing ISKERNEL. This can now be realised by simply providing an
APP-NAME (== "kernel").
- Extending RFC 3164 parsing to trim off the TAG prefix and using that
to derive APP-NAME and PROCID.
- Increase MAXLINE. RFC 5424 mentions we should support 2k messages.
