liblog: resolve deadlocks (part deux)
(cherry pick from commit 2d2e0a5c5eb0b0ea2fe1349da50e22228965faf9)
Although ever present, an increased regression introduced with
commit b6bee33182cedea49199eb2252b3f3b442899c6d (liblog: logd:
support logd.timestamp = monotonic).
A signal handler can interrupt in locked context, if log is written
in the signal handler, we are in deadlock. To reduce the contention
and chances for this problem separate out timestamp lock from is
loggable lock to reduce contention situations. Provide a best-guess
response if lock would fail in timestamp path.
Use a common lock() inline within each module, with a comment speaking
to the issues surrounding calling a function that has a mutex within
a signal handler.
ToDo: Hold off signals temporarily in mainline, restart when unblock.
Can not use pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK,,) as it breaks AtCmd.
