+ * is expensive, hence let's cache the data if we can. Note that this means the metadata might be out-of-date when we
+ * store it, but it might already be anyway, as we request the data asynchronously from /proc at a different time the
+ * log entry was originally created. We hence just increase the "window of inaccuracy" a bit.
+ *
+ * The cache is indexed by the PID. Entries may be "pinned" in the cache, in which case the entries are not removed
+ * until they are unpinned. Unpinned entries are kept around until cache pressure is seen. Cache entries older than 5s
+ * are never used (a sad attempt to deal with the UNIX weakness of PIDs reuse), cache entries older than 1s are
+ * refreshed in an incremental way (meaning: data is reread from /proc, but any old data we can't refresh is not
+ * flushed out). Data newer than 1s is used immediately without refresh.
+ *
+ * Log stream clients (i.e. all clients using the AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM stdout/stderr transport) will pin a cache entry
+ * as long as their socket is connected. Note that cache entries are shared between different transports. That means a
+ * cache entry pinned for the stream connection logic may be reused for the syslog or native protocols.
+ *
+ * Caching metadata like this has two major benefits:
+ *
+ * 1. Reading metadata is expensive, and we can thus substantially speed up log processing under flood.
+ *
+ * 2. Because metadata caching is shared between stream and datagram transports and stream connections pin a cache
+ *    entry there's a good chance we can properly map a substantial set of datagram log messages to their originating
+ *    service, as all services (unless explicitly configured otherwise) will have their stdout/stderr connected to a
+ *    stream connection. This should improve cases where a service process logs immediately before exiting and we
+ *    previously had trouble associating the log message with the service.
+ *
+ * NB: With and without the metadata cache: the implicitly added entry metadata in the journal (with the exception of
+ *     UID/PID/GID and SELinux label) must be understood as possibly slightly out of sync (i.e. sometimes slightly older

+lookup3.c, by Bob Jenkins, May 2006, Public Domain.
+
+These are functions for producing 32-bit hashes for hash table lookup.
+hashword(), hashlittle(), hashlittle2(), hashbig(), mix(), and final()
+are externally useful functions.  Routines to test the hash are included
+if SELF_TEST is defined.  You can use this free for any purpose.  It's in
+the public domain.  It has no warranty.
+
+You probably want to use hashlittle().  hashlittle() and hashbig()
+hash byte arrays.  hashlittle() is faster than hashbig() on
+little-endian machines.  Intel and AMD are little-endian machines.
+On second thought, you probably want hashlittle2(), which is identical to
+hashlittle() except it returns two 32-bit hashes for the price of one.
+You could implement hashbig2() if you wanted but I haven't bothered here.
+
+If you want to find a hash of, say, exactly 7 integers, do
+  a = i1;  b = i2;  c = i3;
+  mix(a,b,c);
+  a += i4; b += i5; c += i6;
+  mix(a,b,c);
+  a += i7;
+  final(a,b,c);
+then use c as the hash value.  If you have a variable length array of
+4-byte integers to hash, use hashword().  If you have a byte array (like
+a character string), use hashlittle().  If you have several byte arrays, or
+a mix of things, see the comments above hashlittle().
+
+Why is this so big?  I read 12 bytes at a time into 3 4-byte integers,
+then mix those integers.  This is fast (you can do a lot more thorough
+mixing with 12*3 instructions on 3 integers than you can with 3 instructions
+on 1 byte), but shoehorning those bytes into integers efficiently is messy.

+mix -- mix 3 32-bit values reversibly.
+
+This is reversible, so any information in (a,b,c) before mix() is
+still in (a,b,c) after mix().
+
+If four pairs of (a,b,c) inputs are run through mix(), or through
+mix() in reverse, there are at least 32 bits of the output that
+are sometimes the same for one pair and different for another pair.
+This was tested for:
+* pairs that differed by one bit, by two bits, in any combination
+  of top bits of (a,b,c), or in any combination of bottom bits of
+  (a,b,c).
+* "differ" is defined as +, -, ^, or ~^.  For + and -, I transformed
+  the output delta to a Gray code (a^(a>>1)) so a string of 1's (as
+  is commonly produced by subtraction) look like a single 1-bit
+  difference.
+* the base values were pseudorandom, all zero but one bit set, or
+  all zero plus a counter that starts at zero.
+
+Some k values for my "a-=c; a^=rot(c,k); c+=b;" arrangement that
+satisfy this are
+    4  6  8 16 19  4
+    9 15  3 18 27 15
+   14  9  3  7 17  3
+Well, "9 15 3 18 27 15" didn't quite get 32 bits diffing
+for "differ" defined as + with a one-bit base and a two-bit delta.  I
+used http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/avalanche.html to choose
+the operations, constants, and arrangements of the variables.
+
+This does not achieve avalanche.  There are input bits of (a,b,c)
+that fail to affect some output bits of (a,b,c), especially of a.  The
+most thoroughly mixed value is c, but it doesn't really even achieve
+avalanche in c.
+
+This allows some parallelism.  Read-after-writes are good at doubling
+the number of bits affected, so the goal of mixing pulls in the opposite
+direction as the goal of parallelism.  I did what I could.  Rotates
+seem to cost as much as shifts on every machine I could lay my hands
+on, and rotates are much kinder to the top and bottom bits, so I used
+rotates.

+hashlittle() -- hash a variable-length key into a 32-bit value
+  k       : the key (the unaligned variable-length array of bytes)
+  length  : the length of the key, counting by bytes
+  initval : can be any 4-byte value
+Returns a 32-bit value.  Every bit of the key affects every bit of
+the return value.  Two keys differing by one or two bits will have
+totally different hash values.
+
+The best hash table sizes are powers of 2.  There is no need to do
+mod a prime (mod is sooo slow!).  If you need less than 32 bits,
+use a bitmask.  For example, if you need only 10 bits, do
+  h = (h & hashmask(10));
+In which case, the hash table should have hashsize(10) elements.
+
+If you are hashing n strings (uint8_t **)k, do it like this:
+  for (i=0, h=0; i<n; ++i) h = hashlittle( k[i], len[i], h);
