Otherwise e.g. ctrl+c in the test runner exits the test runner, while the test
itself is still running in the background, uses CPU and memory and potentially
never exits (e.g. if the test ran into a deadlock or infinite loop).
The reason why we have to manually kill the actual tests is that after
forking they will be moved to their own process group, and as such are
not receiving any signals sent to the test runner anymore. This is supposed
to be done to make it easier to kill a test, which it only really does if
the test itself is forking off new processes.
This fix is not complete though. SIGKILL can't be caught at all, and error
signals like SIGSEGV, SIGFPE are currently not caught. The latter will only
happen if there is a bug in the test runner itself, and as such seem less
important.
Previously GStreamer got access to the libcheck interface by including
libs/gst/check/check.h which in turn included internal-check.h in the
same directory. internal-check.h was generated by copying
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h which in turn was generated from
check.h.in in the same directory. In this case generating
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h is unnecessary, in addition this file
was accidentally distributed in generated project tarballs.
Now libs/gst/check/internal-check.h is generated directly from
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h.in by configure. This means that the
libcheck source must include internal-check.h instead of the previously
generated libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h. However the unnecessary
intermediate step is now skipped.

Reintroduced patches:
* Make sure that fail_if(1) actually fails
from commit 9f99d056a2
New patches due to updated libcheck (based on 0.9.14):
* Checks in m4/check-checks.m4 to cater for new dependencies
* Conditional compile-time compat POSIX fallbacks for libcheck
* Avoid relative paths for libcheck header files
* Make timer_create() usage depend on posix timers, not librt
* Rely on default AX_PTHREAD behavior to allow HAVE_PTHREAD to be used
when checking for types and functions (like clock_gettime())
* Avoid double declaration of clock_gettime() when availabe outside of
librt by making compat clock_gettime() declaration conditional
* check 0.9.9 renamed _fail_unless() and 0.9.12 later renamed it again
to _ck_assert_failed(), so ASSERT_{CRITICAL,WARNING}() now calls this
function
* Remove libcheck fallback infrastructure for malloc(), realloc(),
gettimeofday() and snprintf() since either they appear to be
available or they introduce even more dependencies.
The result is an embedded check in gstreamer that has been tested by
running check tests in core, -base, -good, -bad, -ugly and rtsp-server
on Linux, OSX and Windows.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727826
This lifts the files almost verbatim (the changes being running though
gst-indent and fixing the FSF address) from the upstream respository.
Therefore this commit reverts some GStreamer-specific patches to check
that will be reintroduced next.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727826
This reverts commit b9313afc75.
This should be fixed in upstream libcheck instead. We want
to keep diff of our local copy to upstream libcheck
to a minimum.
