Jason Wessel da6260f95f bitbake: serv.py: Fix hang when spawned dynamically with bitbake
The PRServer has the possibility to hang indefinitely blocking on a
semaphore processing a xmlrpc request to send an event back to the
main bitbake instance.  This was observed during a "bitbake -e" on a
heavily loaded machine and the main bitbake instance and cooker exited
before the PRServer emitted its first log.

The stack trace is provided below as to show what happens every time a
logger.info() is executed in the PRServer.  Not only does it write to
the stream handler but it also tries to send the event to the main
event processor.

    self._notempty.acquire()
    self.queue.put(event)
    _ui_handlers[h].event.send(event)
    fire_ui_handlers(event, d)
    fire(record, None)
    self.emit(record)
    hdlr.handle(record)
    self.callHandlers(record)
    self.handle(record)
    self._log(INFO, msg, args, **kwargs)
    (self.dbfile, self.host, self.port, str(os.getpid())))
    self.work_forever()
    pid = self.daemonize()
    self.prserv.start()
    singleton.start()
    self.prhost = prserv.serv.auto_start(self.data)
    cooker.pre_serve()
    bb.cooker.server_main(self.cooker, self.main)
    self.run()
    code = process_obj._bootstrap()
    self._popen = Popen(self)
    self.serverImpl.start()
    server.detach()
    server = start_server(servermodule, configParams, configuration)
    ret = main()

It was never intended for the PRServer to send its logs anywhere but
its own log file.  The event processing is an artifact of how the
PRServer was forked and it inherits the event log handlers.  The
simple fix is to clean up and purge all the log handlers after the
fork() but before doing any of the typical PRServer work or logging.

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.

For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
    http://www.openembedded.org/

Where to Send Patches
=====================

As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
should be sent to their respective upstreams.

bitbake:
    bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org

meta-yocto:
    poky@yoctoproject.org

Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list.  If
in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
    openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org

Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
      of oe-core and poky-specific files.
