// At a high level, ueventd listens for uevent messages generated by the kernel through a netlink
// socket.  When ueventd receives such a message it handles it by taking appropriate actions,
// which can typically be creating a device node in /dev, setting file permissions, setting selinux
// labels, etc.
// Ueventd also handles loading of firmware that the kernel requests, and creates symlinks for block
// and character devices.

// When ueventd starts, it regenerates uevents for all currently registered devices by traversing
// /sys and writing 'add' to each 'uevent' file that it finds.  This causes the kernel to generate
// and resend uevent messages for all of the currently registered devices.  This is done, because
// ueventd would not have been running when these devices were registered and therefore was unable
// to receive their uevent messages and handle them appropriately.  This process is known as
// 'cold boot'.

// 'init' currently waits synchronously on the cold boot process of ueventd before it continues
// its boot process.  For this reason, cold boot should be as quick as possible.  One way to achieve
// a speed up here is to parallelize the handling of ueventd messages, which consume the bulk of the
// time during cold boot.

// Handling of uevent messages has two unique properties:
// 1) It can be done in isolation; it doesn't need to read or write any status once it is started.
// 2) It uses setegid() and setfscreatecon() so either care (aka locking) must be taken to ensure
//    that no file system operations are done while the uevent process has an abnormal egid or
//    fscreatecon or this handling must happen in a separate process.
// Given the above two properties, it is best to fork() subprocesses to handle the uevents.  This
// reduces the overhead and complexity that would be required in a solution with threads and locks.
// In testing, a racy multithreaded solution has the same performance as the fork() solution, so
// there is no reason to deal with the complexity of the former.

// One other important caveat during the boot process is the handling of SELinux restorecon.
// Since many devices have child devices, calling selinux_android_restorecon() recursively for each
// device when its uevent is handled, results in multiple restorecon operations being done on a
// given file.  It is more efficient to simply do restorecon recursively on /sys during cold boot,
// than to do restorecon on each device as its uevent is handled.  This only applies to cold boot;
// once that has completed, restorecon is done for each device as its uevent is handled.

// With all of the above considered, the cold boot process has the below steps:
// 1) ueventd regenerates uevents by doing the /sys traversal and listens to the netlink socket for
//    the generated uevents.  It writes these uevents into a queue represented by a vector.
//
// 2) ueventd forks 'n' separate uevent handler subprocesses and has each of them to handle the
//    uevents in the queue based on a starting offset (their process number) and a stride (the total
//    number of processes).  Note that no IPC happens at this point and only const functions from
//    DeviceHandler should be called from this context.
//
// 3) In parallel to the subprocesses handling the uevents, the main thread of ueventd calls
//    selinux_android_restorecon() recursively on /sys/class, /sys/block, and /sys/devices.
//
// 4) Once the restorecon operation finishes, the main thread calls waitpid() to wait for all
//    subprocess handlers to complete and exit.  Once this happens, it marks coldboot as having
//    completed.
//
// At this point, ueventd is single threaded, poll()'s and then handles any future uevents.

// Lastly, it should be noted that uevents that occur during the coldboot process are handled
// without issue after the coldboot process completes.  This is because the uevent listener is
// paused while the uevent handler and restorecon actions take place.  Once coldboot completes,
// the uevent listener resumes in polling mode and will handle the uevents that occurred during
// coldboot.
