- Defined MAXLINE constant (8192 octets by default instead 2048) for
centralized limit setting up. It sets maximum number of characters of
the syslog message. RFC5424 doesn't limit maximum size of the message.
Named after MAXLINE in syslogd(8).
- Fixed size of fmt_cpy buffer up to MAXLINE for rendering formatted
(%m) messages.
- Introduced autoexpansion of sending socket buffer up to MAXLINE.

RFC5424 defines NILVALUE as '-'. Replace its usage with a macro and
separate out the fields to be more clear. fputs(3) is used in some
places to avoid hiding possible format string problems in a macro.

- Move CSRG IDs into __SCCSID().
- When a file has been copied, consistently use 'From: <tag>' for strings
referencing the version of the source file copied from in the license
block comment.
- Some of the 'From:' tags were using $FreeBSD$ that was being expanded on
each checkout. Fix those to hardcode the FreeBSD tag from the file that
was copied at the time of the copy.
- When multiple strings are present list them in "chronological" order,
so CSRG (__SCCSID) before FreeBSD (__FBSDID). If a file came from
OtherBSD and contains a CSRG ID from the OtherBSD file, use the order
CSRG -> OtherBSD -> FreeBSD.

With r332099 changing syslogd(8) to parse RFC 5424 formatted syslog
messages, go ahead and also change the syslog(3) libc function to
generate them. Compared to RFC 3164, RFC 5424 has various advantages,
such as sub-second precision for log entry timestamps.
As this change could have adverse effects when not updating syslogd(8)
or using a different system logging daemon, add a notice to UPDATING and
increase __FreeBSD_version.

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.
Make syslog(3) resilent to cancellation occuring in supported deferred
mode. Code must unlock syslog_mutex on cancel, install the cleanup

This fixes a race condition where another thread may fork() before CLOEXEC
is set, unintentionally passing the descriptor to the child process.
This commit only adds O_CLOEXEC flags to open() or openat() calls where no
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) follows. The separate fcntl() call still
leaves a race window so it should be fixed later.
vs. the comment documented "If we are working with a privileged socket,
then take only one attempt". Make the code match.
Furthermore, critical privileged applications that [over] log a vast amount
can look like a DoS to this code. Given it's unlikely the single reattempted
send() will succeeded, avoid usurping the scheduler in a library API for a
single non-critical facility in critical applications.

The symptom is that syslog() fails to log anything but the "ident"
string if LOG_PERROR is specified to openlog(3) and the extensible
printf is in action.
For unclear, likely quaint historical reasons, syslog uses fwopen()
on a stack buffer, rather than using the more straightforward
and faster snprintf().
Along the way, fflush(3) is called, and since the callback writer
function returns zero instead of the length "written", __SERR
naturally gets set on the filedescriptor.
The extensible printf, in difference from the normal printf refuses
to output anything to an __SERR marked filedescriptor, and thus
the actual syslog message is supressed.

"A trailing newline is added if none is present."
The code in syslogd, stderr, and console output always adds a newline
at the EOL. However, the existing code never actually removed a
trailing newline, and apparently relied on syslogd to convert it
into a space character. Thus, the existing newline was converted
to a trailing space at the EOL by syslogd, while stderr, and console
output resulted in an empty line.

e.g. ports/security/pam_pwdfile.
What happened here is that the module first registered its "ident"

pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

modern FreeBSD systems will syslog properly on older systems that
still name the logging socket "/dev/log". This includes pre-2.2
versions of FreeBSD as well as BSD/OS systems. If the connect to
"/var/run/log" fails, the function now tries to connect to
"/dev/log" as a fallback.

reconnect once using the saved openlog() parameters.
This helps one of the system startup race conditions. If syslogd takes too
long to get going, some daemons can fail the connection and forever log
to the console even though the syslogd is running. That is ..unfortunate..
What was happening, is if syslogd was not running, syslog() would do
a strcat("\r\n") on a non-null-terminated buffer, and write it to the console.
This meant that sometimes extra characters could be written to the console
during boot, depending on the stack contents.
This totally avoids the potential problem by using writev() like the rest
of the does, and avoid modifying the buffer after the trouble we've gone to
to carefully protect it.
This is actually a trivial fix, in spite of the long commit message.. :-)

It is similar to an unrolled multi-part snprintf(), in that a "FILE *" is
attached to a string buffer. There is also an optimisation for the case
where the syslog format string does not contain %m, which should improve
performance of "informational" logging, like from ftpd.
