* logging: Introduce mutex API to manage log_target in multi-thread envsPau Espin Pedrol2019-10-091-0/+486
log_enable_multithread() enables use of locks inside the implementation. Lock use is disabled by default, this way only multi-thread processes need to enable it and suffer related complexity/performance penalties. Locks are required around osmo_log_target_list and items inside it, since targets can be used, modified and deleted by different threads concurrently (for instance, user writing "logging disable" in VTY while another thread is willing to write into that target). Multithread apps and libraries aiming at being used in multithread apps should update their code to use the locks introduced here when containing code iterating over osmo_log_target_list explictly or implicitly by obtaining a log_target (eg. osmo_log_vty2tgt()).
