Example (in interactive mode):
cat <<EOF && )
The next command typed caused sh to segfault, because the state for the here
document was not reset.
Like parser_temp, this uses the fact that the parser is not re-entered.
If a command substitution contains a newline token, this no longer starts
here documents of outer commands. This way, we follow POSIX's idea of the
command substitution being a separate script more closely. It also matches
other shells better and is consistent with newline characters in quotes not
starting here documents.
The extension tested in parser/heredoc3.0 ($(cat <<EOF)\ntext\nEOF\n)
continues to be supported.
In particular, this change allows things like
cat <<EOF && echo `pwd`
(a `` command substitution after a here document)
which formerly silently used an empty file as the here document, because the
EOF of the inner command "pwd" also forced an empty here document.
Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".
Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.
We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).

* Add environment variables LANG, LC_* and PWD; also describe ENV under

This prevents accumulating huge amounts of zombies if a script executes
many background commands but no external commands or subshells.
Note that zombies will not be reaped during long calculations (within
the shell process) or read builtins, but those actions do not create
more zombies.
The terminated background commands will also still be remembered by the

Because this is the first code I'm importing from dash to expand.c, add the
Herbert Xu copyright notice which is in dash's expand.c.
When pathname expanding *\/, the CTLESC representing the quoted state was
erroneously taken as part of the * pathname component. This CTLESC was then
seen by the pattern matching code as escaping the '\0' terminating the
string.
The code is slightly different because dash converts the CTLESC characters
to backslashes and removes all the other CTL* characters to allow
substituting glob(3).
The effect of the bug was also slightly different from dash (where nothing
matched at all). Because a CTLESC can escape a '\0' in some way, whether
files were included despite the bug depended on memory that should not be
read. In particular, on many machines /*\/ expanded to a strict subset of
what /*/ expanded to.
Example:
echo /*"/null"
This should print /dev/null, not /*/null.

This allows doing things like LC_ALL=C some_builtin to run a builtin under a
different locale, just like is possible with external programs. The
immediate reason is that this allows making printf(1) a builtin without
breaking things like LC_NUMERIC=C printf '%f\n' 1.2
This change also affects special builtins, as even though the assignment is
persistent, the export is only to the builtin (unless the variable was
already exported).
Note: for this to work for builtins that also exist as external programs
such as /bin/test, the setlocale() call must be under #ifndef SHELL. The

Reset the exception handler in the child to main's.
This avoids inappropriate double cleanups or shell duplication when the
exception is caught, such as 'fc' and future 'command eval' and 'command .'.
That is, do not do tilde expansion if any of the CTL* bytes (\201-\210), not
only CTLESC and CTLQUOTEMARK, are encountered. Such an expansion would look
up a user name with sh's internal representation.
The parser does not currently distinguish between backslashed and
unbackslashed \201-\210, so tilde expansion of user names with these bytes
in them is not so easy to fix.
It is already done by evalcommand(), unless special-ness has been removed,
in which case variable assignments should not persist. (These are currently
always special builtins, but this will change later: command builtin,
command substitution.)
This also fixes a memory leak when calling . with variable assignments.
Example:
valgrind --leak-check=full sh -c 'x=1 . /dev/null; x=2'
- Redirecting fds that were not open before kept two copies of the
redirected file.
sh -c '{ :; } 7>/dev/null; fstat -p $$; true'
(both fd 7 and 10 remained open)
- File descriptors used to restore things after redirection were not
set close-on-exec, instead they were explicitly closed before executing
a program normally and before executing a shell procedure. The latter
must remain but the former is replaced by close-on-exec.
sh -c 'exec 7</; { exec fstat -p $$; } 7>/dev/null; true'
(fd 10 remained open)
The examples above are simpler than the testsuite because I do not want to
use fstat or procstat in the testsuite.
* exception handlers are now run with interrupts disabled, which avoids
many race conditions
* fix some cases where SIGINT only aborts one command and continues the
script, in particular if a SIGINT causes an EINTR error which trumped the
interrupt.
Example:
sh -c 'echo < /some/fifo; echo This should not be printed'
The fifo should not have writers. When pressing ctrl+c to abort the open,
the shell used to continue with the next command.
Example:
sh -c '/bin/echo < /some/fifo; echo This should not be printed'
Similar. Note, however, that this particular case did not and does not work
in interactive mode with job control enabled.
This avoids weirdness when 'fc -e vi' or the like is done and there is a
syntax error in the file. Formerly an interactive shell tried to execute
stuff after the syntax error and exited.
This should also avoid similar issues with 'command eval' and 'command .'
when 'command' is implemented properly as in NetBSD sh.
Special builtins did not have this problem since errors in them cause the
shell to exit or to reset various state such as the current command input
file.

In my previous commit I disabled pkill(1)'s automatic prepending of the
"tty" string when `pkill -t' was being used. Re-enable it and stat()
both possible device names when called.

Because we now enforce UNIX98-style PTY's, we now use a lot of TTY's
that don't have the traditional /dev/ttyXX naming scheme. pkill(1)'s -t
flag automatically prepended the word "tty" to each TTY that was passed
on the command line. This meant that `pkill -t pts/0' was actually
converted to /dev/ttypts/0. Disable this broken behaviour for now.

Initially, 'acl' (an 'acl_t *') is allocated, and its ACCESS_ACL and
DEFAULT_ACL fields are passed to the 'libc' ACL routines for subsequent
allocation. If the '-m' option (merge existing ACL with a new one) is
specified, then 'set_acl_mask()' will be called and passed one of the
two ACLs. This function, in turn, replaces this given ACL structure by
another, freshly allocated. However, the pointer in the 'acl' variable
in the caller is not updated. The caller then proceeds to free the ACL,
incurring in a double free condition.

When I imported the MPSAFE TTY code, I added the -p flag to sh(1)'s
ulimit, but I forgot to document it in the appropriate manual page.

After the MPSAFE TTY import, we have support for the TAB0 and TAB3 flags
to handle tab expansion, while we only used to support OXTABS. Switch
stty(1) to use tab0 and tab3 to print whether tab expansion is turned on
or off. Implement the oxtabs and tabs switches by setting the
appropriate TABx value.
Even though POSIX only lists this as being XSI, we'd better follow it.
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

understand which code paths aren't possible.
This commit eliminates 117 false positive bug reports of the form
"allocate memory; error out if pointer is NULL; use pointer".
When I ported most applications away from <sgtty.h>, I noticed none of
them were actually using these definitions. I kept them in place,
because I didn't want to touch tools like pstat(8) and stty(1).
In preparation for the MPSAFE TTY layer, remove these definitions. This
doesn't have any impact with respect to binary compatibility (see
tty_conf.c).
We couldn now add an #error to <sys/ioctl_compat.h> when included
outside the kernel. Unfortunately, kdump's mkioctls includes this file
unconditionally.

Cast string precision to `int'. amd64 systems warn about the
field precision being `long int' if we don't, and pathnames are
normally short enough to fit in an `int'.

with the same name exists, delete that directory first, before performing
the copy. This ensures that mv(1) across devices follows the semantics
of rename(2), as required by POSIX.
This change could introduce the potential of data loss, even if the
copy fails, violating the atomicity properties of rename(2). This is
(mostly) mitigated by first renaming the destination and obliterating
it only after a succesfull copy.
The above logic also led to the introduction of code that will cleanup
the results of a partial copy, if a cross-device copy fails.

kthread_add() takes the same parameters as the old kthread_create()
plus a pointer to a process structure, and adds a kernel thread
to that process.
kproc_kthread_add() takes the parameters for kthread_add,
plus a process name and a pointer to a pointer to a process instead of just
a pointer, and if the proc * is NULL, it creates the process to the
specifications required, before adding the thread to it.
All other old kthread_xxx() calls return, but act on (struct thread *)
instead of (struct proc *). One reason to change the name is so that
any old kernel modules that are lying around and expect kthread_create()
to make a process will not just accidentally link.

- Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then

most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.

setenv(3) by tracking the size of the memory allocated instead of using
strlen() on the current value.
Convert all calls to POSIX from historic BSD API:
- unsetenv returns an int.
- putenv takes a char * instead of const char *.
- putenv no longer makes a copy of the input string.
- errno is set appropriately for POSIX. Exceptions involve bad environ
variable and internal initialization code. These both set errno to
EFAULT.
Several patches to base utilities to handle the POSIX changes from
Andrey Chernov's previous commit. A few I re-wrote to use setenv()
