2019-05-05listener: use EPOLLEXCLUSIVE for listen sockets
Since our listen sockets are non-blocking and we may run multiple httpd|nntpd processes; we need a way to avoid thundering herds when there are multiple httpd|nntpd worker processes. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE was added just for that in Linux 4.5
2019-05-04bundle Danga::Socket and Sys::Syscall
These modules are unmaintained upstream at the moment, but I'll be able to help with the intended maintainer once/if CPAN ownership is transferred. OTOH, we've been waiting for that transfer for several years, now... Changes I intend to make: * EPOLLEXCLUSIVE for Linux * remove unused fields wasting memory * kqueue bugfixes e.g. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=116615 * accept4 support And some lower priority experiments: * switch to EV_ONESHOT / EPOLLONESHOT (incompatible changes) * nginx-style buffering to tmpfile instead of string array * sendfile off tmpfile buffers * io_uring maybe?
