3eac9393d7 os: make FormatInt64() handle LONG_MIN correctly
When compiling with gcc 15.2.0 using -O3 -m64 on Solaris SPARC & x64,
we'd get a test failure of:

Assertion failed: strcmp(logmsg, expected) == 0,
 file ../test/signal-logging.c, line 339, function logging_format

because 'num *= 1' produced a value that was out of the range of the
int64_t it was being stored in.  (Compiling with -O2 worked fine with
the same compiler/configuration/platform though.)

dd2255c309 os: avoid closing null fd at Fopen
In `Fopen` function variable `iop` may store NULL as a result of `fopen`
call. In this case, if later privileges couldn't be restored (`seteuid`
call fails), further `fclose(iop)` call will cause runtime error.

This commit adds check `iop` for NULL before calling `fclose` to prevent
potential NULL pointer dereference.

412777664a Disallow byte-swapped clients by default
The X server swapping code is a huge attack surface, much of this code
is untested and prone to security issues. The use-case of byte-swapped
clients is very niche, so let's disable this by default and allow it
only when the respective config option or commandline flag is given.

For Xorg, this adds the ServerFlag "AllowByteSwappedClients" "on".
For all DDX, this adds the commandline options +byteswappedclients and
-byteswappedclients to enable or disable, respectively.

Fixes #1201

16571b8926 Don't hardcode fps for fake screen

a779fda224 xwayland: Use the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock
By default the X server will try CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE before
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, while A Wayland compositor may only support getting
their timestamps from the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock. This causes various
issues since it may happen that a timestamp from CLOCK_MONOTONIC
retrieved before a sending an X request will still be "later" than the
timestamp the X server than gets after receiving the request, due to the
fact that CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE has a lower resolution.

To avoid these issues, make Xwayland always use CLOCK_MONOTONIC, so
that it becomes possible for Wayland compositor only supporting
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and X server to use the same clock.

e10ba9e4b5 Remove non-smart scheduler. Don't require setitimer.
This allows the server to call GetTimeInMillis() after each request is
processed to avoid needing setitimer. -dumbSched now turns off the
setitimer.

1f915e8b52 Keep SIGALRM restart flag after Popen
Commit 94ab7455 added SA_RESTART to the SIGALRM handler.  However, the
Popen code tears down and recreates the SIGALRM handler via OsSignal(),
and this flag is dropped at this time.

Clean the code to use just a single codepath for creating this signal
handler, always applying SA_RESTART.

94ab7455ab Allow system call restarts upon signal interruption
The X server frequently deals with SIGIO and SIGALRM interruptions.
If process execution is inside certain blocking system calls
when these signals arrive, e.g. with the kernel blocked on
a contended semaphore, the system calls will be interrupted.

Some system calls are automatically restartable (the kernel re-executes
them with the same parameters once the signal handler returns) but
only if the signal handler allows it.

Set SA_RESTART on the signal handlers to enable this convenient
behaviour.

d206c240c0 configurable maximum number of clients
Make the maximum number of clients user configurable, either from the command
line or from xorg.conf

This patch works by using the MAXCLIENTS (raised to 512) as the maximum
allowed number of clients, but allowing the actual limit to be set by the
user to a lower value (keeping the default of 256).

There is a limit size of 29 bits to be used to store both the client ID and
the X resources ID, so by reducing the number of clients allowed to connect to
the X server, the user can increase the number of X resources per client or
vice-versa.

Parts of this patch are based on a similar patch from Adam Jackson
<ajax@redhat.com>

This now requires at least xproto 7.0.28
