Merge #21007: bitcoind: Add -daemonwait option to wait for initialization
e017a913d0d78ef0766cf73586fe7a38488e1a26 bitcoind: Add -daemonwait option to wait for initialization (Wladimir J. van der Laan) c3e6fdee6d39d3f52dec421b48a0ac8bad5006f7 shutdown: Use RAII TokenPipe in shutdown (Wladimir J. van der Laan) 612f746a8ffa265b6877bedbbe21fcbb392f1516 util: Add RAII TokenPipe (Wladimir J. van der Laan) Pull request description: This adds a `-daemonwait` flag that does the same as `-daemon` except that it, from a user perspective, backgrounds the process only after initialization is complete. This is similar to the behaviour of some other software such as c-lightning. This can be useful when the process launching bitcoind wants to guarantee that either the RPC server is running, or that initialization failed, before continuing. The exit code indicates the initialization result. The use of the libc function `daemon()` is replaced by a custom implementation which is inspired by the [glibc implementation](https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/master/misc/daemon.c#L44), but which also creates a pipe from the child to the parent process for communication. An additional advantage of having our own `daemon()` implementation is that no MACOS-specific pragmas are needed anymore to silence a deprecation warning. TODO: - [x] Factor out `token_read` and `token_write` to an utility, and use them in `shutdown.cpp` as well—this is exactly the same kind of communication mechanism. - [x] RAII-ify pipe endpoints. - [x] Improve granularity of the `configure.ac` checks. This currently still checks for the function `daemon()` which makes no sense as it's not used. It should check for individual functions such as `fork()` and `setsid()` etc—the former being required, the second optional. - [-] ~~Signal propagation during initialization: if say, pressing Ctrl-C during `-daemonwait` it would be good to pass this SIGINT on to the child process instead of detaching the parent process and letting the child run free.~~ This is not necessary, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21007#issuecomment-769007341. Future: - Consider if it makes sense to use this in the RPC tests (there would be no more need for "is RPC ready" polling loops). I think this is out of scope for this PR.
