The public `g_strv_contains()` API didn’t exist at the time this code

117b748e44 gdbusconnection: Fix race between subtree method call and unregistration
Fix another variant of the previous commit, this time specific to the
idle callback of a method call on a subtree object, racing with
unregistration of that subtree.

In this case, the `process_subtree_vtable_message_in_idle_cb()` idle
callback already has a pointer to the right `ExportedSubtree` struct,
but again doesn’t have a strong reference to it.

50fbf05d61 gdbusconnection: Fix race between method calls and object unregistration
If `g_dbus_connection_unregister_object()` (or `unregister_subtree()`)
was called from one thread, while an idle callback for a method call (or
a property get or set) was being invoked in another, it was possible for
the two to race after the idle callback had checked that the
object/subtree was registered, but before it had finished dereferencing
all the data related to that object/subtree.

Unregistering the object/subtree would immediately free the data,
leading the idle callback to cause a use-after-free error.

Fix that by giving the idle callback a strong reference to the data from
inside the locked section where it checks whether the object/subtree is
still registered.

b0157af9a6 gdbus: document completion after idle action for g_dbus_connection_signal_unsubscribe()
Since commit ab285899a6 ('gdbusconnection: Document main context
iteration for unsubscript'), we document when the user is guaranteed
that all resources are gone after g_dbus_connection_signal_unsubscribe().
This is not merely an implementation detail, it's something that the
user needs to be able to rely on. It is good that this is documented.

However, libnm does something different ([1]). It registers to several D-Bus
signals without providing a GDestroyNotify. After unsubscription, it schedules
another idle action with lower priority and uses that to know when
cleanup is complete. I think this is a useful alternative and should
also be guaranteed and documented to work.

Also note that this isn't just some implementation detail that currently
happens to work. GDBusConnection tightly integrates with GMainContext and it
works by scheduling idle sources with G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT priority. It needs to
schedule all events with this same priority, otherwise the ordering is not
preserved. At this point, with GDBusConnection working this way, this is no longer
something that can reasonably be any different. It's how GDBusConnection fundamentally
works, and a user must be able to rely on that. As such, this new promise isn't
something that we would want to break in the future.

Thus document it.

Convert all the call sites which use `g_memdup()`’s length argument
trivially (for example, by passing a `sizeof()`), so that they use
`g_memdup2()` instead.

fc1f4969bf gdbus: Document the intended semantics of handles and fds
In the D-Bus wire protocol, the handle type (G_VARIANT_TYPE_HANDLE, h)
is intended to be an index/pointer into the implementation's closest
equivalent of GUnixFDList: its numeric value has no semantic meaning
(in the same way that the numeric values of pointers have no semantic
meaning), but a handle with value n acts as a reference to the nth fd
in the fd list.

GDBus provides a fairly direct mapping from the wire protocol to the
C API, which makes it technically possible to attach and use fds
without ever referring to them in the message body, and some
GLib-centric D-Bus APIs rely on this.

However, the other major implementations of D-Bus (libdbus and sd-bus)
transparently replace file descriptors with handles when building
messages, and transparently replace handles with file descriptors when
parsing messages. This means they cannot implement D-Bus APIs that do
not follow the conventional meaning of handles as indexes/pointers into
an equivalent of GUnixFDList.

For interoperability, we should encourage D-Bus API designers to follow
the convention, even though code written against GDBus doesn't strictly
need to do so.

This just removes a now-redundant intermediate array. This means that
the `SignalSubscriber` instances are now potentially freed a little

deadlock.

130455bbb2 gdbusconnection: Fix race when emitting D-Bus signal callbacks
Instead of storing a copy of the `callback` and `user_data` from a
`SignalSubscriber` in a `SignalInstance` struct (which is the closure
for signal callback data as it’s sent from the D-Bus worker thread to
the thread which originally subscribed to a signal), store a strong
reference to the `SignalSubscriber` struct itself.

This keeps the `SignalSubscriber` alive until the emission is
complete, which ensures that the `user_data` is not freed prematurely.
It also slightly reduces the allocation size of `SignalInstance` (not
that it matters).

This is threadsafe because the fields in `SignalSubscriber` are all
immutable after construction.

bee27dd9f0 gdbusconnection: Tidy up destroy notification for signal subscriptions
Tie the destruction of the `user_data` to the destruction of the
`SignalSubscriber` struct. This is tidier, and ensures that the fields
in `SignalSubscriber` are all immutable after being set, so the
structure can safely be used across threads without locking.

It doesn’t matter which thread we call `call_destroy_notify()` in, since
it always defers calling `user_data_free_func` to the user-provided
`GMainContext`.

9b1c8d7dd5 gdbusconnection: Allocate SignalSubscriber structs individually
The `SignalSubscriber` structs contain the callback and `user_data` of each
subscriber to a signal, along with the `guint id` token held by that
subscriber to identify their subscription. There are one or more
`SignalSubscriber` structs for a given signal match rule, which is
represented as a `SignalData` struct.

Previously, the `SignalSubscriber` structs were stored in a `GArray` in
the `SignalData` struct, to reduce the number of allocations needed
when subscribing to a signal.

However, this means that a `SignalSubscriber` struct cannot have a
lifetime which exceeds the `SignalData` which contains it. In order to
fix the race in #978, one thread needs to be able to unsubscribe from a
signal (destroying the `SignalData` struct) while zero or more other
threads are in the process of calling the callbacks from a previous
emission of that signal (using the callback and `user_data` from zero or
more `SignalSubscriber` structs). Multiple threads could be calling
callbacks because callbacks are invoked in the `GMainContext` which
originally made a subscription, and GDBus supports subscribing to a
signal from multiple threads. In that case, the callbacks are dispatched
to multiple threads.

In order to allow the `SignalSubscriber` structs to outlive the
`SignalData` which contained their old match rule, store them in a
`GPtrArray` in the `SignalData` struct, and refcount them individually.

This commit in itself should make no functional changes to how GDBus
works, but will allow following commits to do so.

55f9c6d2f4 gatomic: Add various casts to use of g_atomic_*()s to fix warnings
When compiling GLib with `-Wsign-conversion`, we get various warnings
about the atomic calls. A lot of these were fixed by
3ad375a629, but some remain. Fix them by
adding appropriate casts at the call sites.

Note that `g_atomic_int_{and,or,xor}()` actually all operate on `guint`s
rather than `gint`s (which is what the rest of the `g_atomic_int_*()`
functions operate on). I can’t find any written reasoning for this, but
assume that it’s because signedness is irrelevant when you’re using an
integer as a bit field. It’s unfortunate that they’re named a
`g_atomic_int_*()` rather than `g_atomic_uint_*()` functions.

Tested by compiling GLib as:
```
CFLAGS=-Wsign-conversion jhbuild make -ac |& grep atomic
```

I’m not going to add `-Wsign-conversion` to the set of default warnings
for building GLib, because it mostly produces false positives throughout
the rest of GLib.

This commit changes a comment in _g_dbus_worker_do_read_cb() to be

condition occurred because although g_test_dbus_down() ensures that the

which hit this failed read code path, because we had

appease libudisks.

Also, make a few other minor improvements to the docs.

22ba4411cc gio: remove use of generic marshaller from GIO objects
Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.

While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.
