Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

correctly decrement the counter on close.
Under some specific and not real-world use scenario for kqueue, it is
possible for the kqueues to consume memory proportional to the square
of the number of the filedescriptors available to the process. Limit
allows administrator to prevent the abuse.

* If read -t times out, return status as if interrupted by SIGALRM
(formerly 1).
* If a trapped signal interrupts read, return status 128+sig (formerly 1).
* If [EINTR] occurs but there is no trap, retry the read (for example
because of a SIGWINCH in interactive mode).
* If a read error occurs, write an error message and return status 2.
As before, a variable assignment error returns 2 and discards the remaining
data read.
* Prefer one CHECKSTRSPACE with multiple USTPUTC to multiple STPUTC.
* Add STPUTS macro (based on function) and use it instead of loops that add
nul-terminated strings to the stack string.
No functional change is intended, but code size is about 1K less on i386.

character.
This avoids using non-standard behaviour of the old (upto FreeBSD 7) TTY
layer: it reprocesses the input queue when switching to canonical mode. The
new TTY layer does not provide this functionality and so read -t worked
very poorly (first character is not echoed, cannot be backspaced but is
still read).
This also agrees with what most other shells with read -t do.

A difference between the old and the new TTY layer is that the new
implementation does not perform any post-processing before returning
data back to userspace when calling read().
sh(1)'s read turns the TTY into a raw mode before calling select(). This
means that the first character will not receive any ICRNL processing.
Inherit this flag from the original terminal attributes.
Even though this issue is not present on RELENG_*, I'm MFCing it to make
sh(1) in jails behave better.

MFC after: 2 weeks
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.

ckrealloc and ckfree (added), respectively. sh jumps out of the signal handler
using longjmp which is obviously a bad idea during malloc calls.
Note: I think there is still a small race here because volatile sig_atomic_t
only guarantees atomic reads and writes while we're doing increments and
decrements.
Protect a setmode call with INT{ON,OFF} as it calls malloc internally.

Patch from: Nate Eldredge
and linting procedure:
1. Remove useless sub-expression:
- if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string && (nulonly || 1))) {
+ if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string)) {
The sub-expression "(nulonly || 1)" always evaluates to true and
according to CVS logs seems to be just a left-over from some
debugging and introduced by accident. Removing the sub-expression
doesn't change semantics and a code inspection showed that the
variable "nulonly" is also not necessary here in any way (and the
expression would require fixing instead of removing).
2. Remove dead code:
- if (backslash && c == '\\') {
- if (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) != 1) {
- status = 1;
- break;
- }
- STPUTC(c, p);
- } else if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
+ if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
Inspection of the control and data flow showed that variable
"backslash" is always false (0) when the "if"-expression is
evaluated, hence the whole block is effectively dead code.
Additionally, the skipping of characters after a backslash is already
performed correctly a few lines above, so this code is also not
needed at all. According to the CVS logs and the ASH 0.2 sources,
this code existed in this way already since its early days.
3. Cleanup Style:
- ! trap[signo][0] == '\0' &&
+ ! (trap[signo][0] == '\0') &&
The expression wants to ensure the trap is not assigned the empty
string. But the "!" operator has higher precedence than "==", so the
comparison should be put into parenthesis to form the intended way of
expression. Nevertheless the code was effectively not really broken
as both particular NUL comparisons are semantically equal, of course.
But the parenthesized version is a lot more intuitive.
4. Remove shadowing variable declaration:
- char *q;
The declaration of symbol "q" hides another identical declaration of
"q" in the same context. As the other "q" is already reused multiple
times and also can be reused again without negative side-effects,
just remove the shadowing declaration.
5. Just small cosmetics:
- if (ifsset() != 0)
+ if (ifsset())
The ifsset() macro is already coded by returning the boolean result
of a comparison operator, so no need to compare this boolean result
again against a numerical value. This also aligns the macros usage to
the remaining existing code.
