When the RISC-V port was initially committed to FreeBSD, GCC would
generate 64-bit long doubles, and the definitions in _fpmath.h reflected
that. This was changed to 128-bit in GCC later that year [1], but the
definitions were never updated, despite the documented workaround. This
causes printf(3) and friends to interpret only the low 64-bits of a long
double in ldtoa, thereby printing incorrect values.
Update the definitions now that both clang and GCC generate 128-bit long
doubles.

Some of the NetBSD contributed tests are gated behind the
__HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE flag. This flag seems to be defined only for
platforms whose long double is larger than their double. I could not
find this explicitly documented anywhere, but it is implied by the
definitions in NetBSD's sys/arch/${arch}/include/math.h headers, and the
following assertion from the UBSAN code:
#ifdef __HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE
long double LD;
ASSERT(sizeof(LD) > sizeof(uint64_t));

Some environments in which execvPe may be called have a limited amount of
stack available. Currently, it avoidably allocates a segment on the stack
large enough to hold PATH so that it may be mutated and use strsep() for
easy parsing. This logic is now rewritten to just operate on the immutable
string passed in and do the necessary math to extract individual paths,
since it will be copying out those segments to another buffer anyways and
piecing them together with the name for a full path.
Additional size is also needed for the stack in posix_spawnp(), because it
may need to push all of argv to the stack and rebuild the command with sh in
front of it. We'll make sure it's properly aligned for the new thread, but
future work should likely make rfork_thread a little easier to use by
ensuring proper alignment.
Some trivial cleanup has been done with a couple of error writes, moving
strings into char arrays for use with the less fragile sizeof().

If execve fails with ENOEXEC, execvp is expected to rebuild the command
with /bin/sh instead and try again.
The previous version did this, but overlooked two details:
argv[0] can conceivably be NULL, in which case memp would never get
terminated. We must allocate no less than three * sizeof(char *) so we can
properly terminate at all times. For the non-NULL argv standard case, we
count all the non-NULL elements and actually skip the first argument, so we
end up capturing the NULL terminator in our bcopy().
The second detail is that the spec is actually worded such that we should
have been preserving argv[0] as passed to execvp:
"[...] executed command shall be as if the process invoked the sh utility
using execl() as follows:
execl(<shell path>, arg0, file, arg1, ..., (char *)0);
where <shell path> is an unspecified pathname for the sh utility, file is
the process image file, and for execvp(), where arg0, arg1, and so on
correspond to the values passed to execvp() in argv[0], argv[1], and so on."
So we make this change at this time as well, while we're already touching
it. We decidedly can't preserve a NULL argv[0] as this would be incredibly,
incredibly fragile, so we retain our legacy behavior of using "sh" for
argv[] in this specific instance.
Some light tests are added to try and detect some components of handling the
ENOEXEC fallback; posix_spawnp_enoexec_fallback_null_argv0 is likely not
100% reliable, but it at least won't raise false-alarms and it did result in
useful failures with pre-change libc on my machine.
This is a secondary change in D25038.

This commit adds the priv(9) that waters down the sysctl to make it only
allow read(2) of a dirfd by the system root. Jailed root is not allowed, but
jail policy and superuser policy will abstain from allowing/denying it so
that a MAC module can fully control the policy.
Such a MAC module has been written, and can be found at:
https://people.freebsd.org/~kevans/mac_read_dir-0.1.0.tar.gz
It is expected that the MAC module won't be needed by many, as most only
need to do such diagnostics that require this behavior as system root
anyways. Interested parties are welcome to grab the MAC module above and
create a port or locally integrate it, and with enough support it could see
introduction to base. As noted in mac_read_dir.c, it is released under the
BSD 2 clause license and allows the restrictions to be lifted for only
jailed root or for all unprivileged users.

Historically, we've allowed read() of a directory and some filesystems will
accommodate (e.g. ufs/ffs, msdosfs). From the history department staffed by
Warner: <<EOF
pdp-7 unix seemed to allow reading directories, but they were weird, special
things there so I'm unsure (my pdp-7 assembler sucks).
1st Edition's sources are lost, mostly. The kernel allows it. The
reconstructed sources from 2nd or 3rd edition read it though.
V6 to V7 changed the filesystem format, and should have been a warning, but
reading directories weren't materially changed.
4.1b BSD introduced readdir because of UFS. UFS broke all directory reading
programs in 1983. ls, du, find, etc all had to be rewritten. readdir() and
friends were introduced here.
SysVr3 picked up readdir() in 1987 for the AT&T fork of Unix. SysVr4 updated
all the directory reading programs in 1988 because different filesystem
types were introduced.
In the 90s, these interfaces became completely ubiquitous as PDP-11s running
V7 faded from view and all the folks that initially started on V7 upgraded
to SysV. Linux never supported this (though I've not done the software
archeology to check) because it has always had a pathological diversity of
filesystems.
EOF
Disallowing read(2) on a directory has the side-effect of masking
application bugs from relying on other implementation's behavior
(e.g. Linux) of rejecting these with EISDIR across the board, but allowing
it has been a vector for at least one stack disclosure bug in the past[0].
By POSIX, this is implementation-defined whether read() handles directories
or not. Popular implementations have chosen to reject them, and this seems
sensible: the data you're reading from a directory is not structured in some
unified way across filesystem implementations like with readdir(2), so it is
impossible for applications to portably rely on this.
With this patch, we will reject most read(2) of a dirfd with EISDIR. Users
that know what they're doing can conscientiously set
bsd.security.allow_read_dir=1 to allow read(2) of directories, as it has
proven useful for debugging or recovery. A future commit will further limit
the sysctl to allow only the system root to read(2) directories, to make it
at least relatively safe to leave on for longer periods of time.
While we're adding logic pertaining to directory vnodes to vn_io_fault, an
additional assertion has also been added to ensure that we're not reaching
vn_io_fault with any write request on a directory vnode. Such request would
be a logical error in the kernel, and must be debugged rather than allowing
it to potentially silently error out.
Commented out shell aliases have been placed in root's chsrc/shrc to promote
awareness that grep may become noisy after this change, depending on your
usage.
A tentative MFC plan has been put together to try and make it as trivial as
possible to identify issues and collect reports; note that this will be
strongly re-evaluated. Tentatively, I will MFC this knob with the default as
it is in HEAD to improve our odds of actually getting reports. The future
priv(9) to further restrict the sysctl WILL NOT BE MERGED BACK, so the knob
will be a faithful reversion on stable/12. We will go into the merge
acknowledging that the sysctl default may be flipped back to restore
historical behavior at *any* point if it's warranted.
