2019-11-27httpd|nntpd: avoid missed signal wakeups
Our attempt at using a self-pipe in signal handlers was ineffective, since pure Perl code execution is deferred and Perl doesn't use an internal self-pipe/eventfd. In retrospect, I actually prefer the simplicity of Perl in this regard... We can use sigprocmask() from Perl, so we can introduce signalfd(2) and EVFILT_SIGNAL support on Linux and *BSD-based systems, respectively. These OS primitives allow us to avoid a race where Perl checks for signals right before epoll_wait() or kevent() puts the process to sleep. The (few) systems nowadays without signalfd(2) or IO::KQueue will now see wakeups every second to avoid missed signals.
2019-11-27dskqxs: fix missing EV_DISPATCH define
Oops, IO::KQueue support was broken due to this missing constant. Add a new ds-kqxs.t test case to ensure we test the IO::KQueue path if IO::KQueue is available.
2019-06-29dskqxs: more closely match epoll semantics
EV_DISPATCH is actually a better match for EPOLLONESHOT semantics than EV_ONESHOT in that it doesn't require EV_ADD for every mod operation. Blindly using EV_ADD everywhere forces the FreeBSD kernel to do extra allocations up front, so it's best avoided.
2019-06-29listener: use edge-triggered notifications
We don't need extra wakeups from the kernel when we know a listener is already active.
2019-06-26ds: cleanup poll test and avoid clobbering imports
On Linux systems with epoll support, we don't want to be clobbering defined subs in the t/ds-poll.t test; so use OO ->method dispatch instead and require users to explicitly import subs via EXPORT_OK.
2019-06-24ds: split out IO::KQueue-specific code
We don't need to code multiple event loops or have branches in watch() if we can easily make the IO::KQueue-based interface look like our lower-level epoll_* API.
