The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet. It encodes
nofork/noexec flags
suid flags
the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string
Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid). Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.
This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.
According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number
of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:
KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)
0 9057 -
2 4604 32
4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130
32 884 194
This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.
v2:
Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.
v3:
Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
well as the last applet found.
v4:
Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.
v5:
Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.
v6:

This patch fixes compiling busybox with FEATURE_UTMP and _WTMP enabled.
musl, while not really support utmp/wtmp, provides stub functions, as well
as variables such as _PATH_UTMP, so that programs using utmp or wtmp can
still compile fine.
My reasoning for this patch is that on Exherbo, I'm currently trying to get
us to be able to use the same busybox config file for both glibc and musl
systems, using utmp/wtmp on systems that support it, and using the stubs
on musl without needing two different configs.
As of latest musl git, it provides all utmp functions needed; 1.1.12 doesn't,
but I sent a patch to Rich to add the utmp{,x}name functions expected to
exist, which was merged into musl upstream.

invarg(a,b) - "invalid argument", but how a and b enter the message?
invarg_1_to_2(a,b) is somewhat easier to read: "invalid argument 'a' to 'b'"
Audit of usage revealed a number of bad uses, with too long messages.

In the initial submission struct bbunit_listelem was manipulated by
custom list functions implemented in bbunit.c. Since the tests are now
added to the list by llist_add_to_end(), which allocates the llist_t
objects behind the scenes, there's no need for the *next field.

UTMP is SVID legacy, UTMPX is mandated by POSIX.
Glibc and uClibc have identical layout of UTMP and UTMPX, both of these
libc treat _PATH_UTMPX as _PATH_UTMP so from a user-perspective nothing
changes except the names of the API entrypoints.

The performance and number of processes for a "depmod -a" with gzipped
modules was abysmal. This patch adds a code path without fork,
benefiting all users of xmalloc_open_zipped_read_close.
"modinfo radeon.ko.gz", a single-file reader, got 30% faster.
"depmod -a", which used to fork over 800 times, got 20% faster.
Heavily based on a patch by Lauri Kasanen <curaga@operamail.com>

Sometimes ARG_MAX is small (like 32k) yet sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)
is big, and people prefer using the bigger value.
OTOH, with sufficiently large ARG_MAX, further wins from
sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) being bigger are exponentially smaller:
you can see 4 times fewer fork+execs when you run find, but
when each execed process already takes a thousand parameters
it's likely execution time is dominated by what that process
does with each parameter.
Thus, with this change ARG_MAX is used if it's sufficiently big,
otherwise sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is used.
