is not finalized at this time.
- Keep Symbol.map sorted.
- Avoid the interposing of ptsname_r(3) from an user application
from breaking ptsname(3) by making the implementation a static
method and call the static function from ptsname(3) instead.

MK_MALLOC_PRODUCTION option on -CURRENT.
Also, for the sake of backwards compatibility, support the old way of
enabling 'production malloc', e.g. by adding a define in make.conf(5).
MFC after: 1 week
X-MFC-With: r365371
For historical reasons, defining MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf has
been used to turn off potentially expensive debug checks and statistics
gathering in the implementation of malloc(3).
It seems more consistent to turn this into a regular src.conf(5) option,
e.g. WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION / WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION. This can then
be toggled similar to any other source build option, and turned on or
off by default for e.g. stable branches.

Previously this was counting the amount of spare room at the start of
the buffer that the string needed to move forward and passing that as
the number of bytes to copy to memmove rather than the length of the
string to be copied.
In the strfmon test in the test suite this caused the memmove to
overflow the allocated buffer by one byte which CHERI caught.

These functions first appeared in the First Edition of Unix (or earlier in the
pdp-7 version). Just claim 1st Edition for all this. The pdp-7 code is too
fragmented at this point to extend history that far back.
realpath(3) is used a lot e.g., by clang and is a major source of getcwd
and fstatat calls. This can be done more efficiently in the kernel.
This works by performing a regular lookup while saving the name and found
parent directory. If the terminal vnode is a directory we can resolve it using
usual means. Otherwise we can use the name saved by lookup and resolve the
parent.

rand(3)'s standard C API is extremely limiting, but we can do better
than the historical 32-bit state Park-Miller LCG we've shipped since
2001: r73156.
The justification provided at the time for not using random(3) was that
rand_r(3) could not be made to use the same algorithm. That is still
true. However, the irrelevance of rand_r(3) is increasingly obvious.
Since that time, POSIX has marked the interface obsolescent. rand_r(3)
never became part of the standard C library. If not for API
compatibility reasons, I would just remove rand_r(3) entirely.
So, I do not believe it is a problem for rand_r(3) and rand(3) to
diverge.
The 12 ABI is maintained with compatibility definitions, but this
revision does subtly change the API of rand(3). The sequences of
pseudorandom numbers produced in programs built against new versions of
libc will differ from programs built against prior versions of libc.

The existing APIs simply pass the implicit global state to the _r variants.
No functional change.
Note that these routines are not exported from libc and are not intended to be
exported. If someone wished to export them from libc (which I would
discourage), they should first be modified to match the inconsistent parameter
type / order of the glibc public interfaces of the same names.
I know Ravi will ask, so: the eventual goal of this series is to replace
rand(3) with the implementation from random(3) (D23290). However, I'd like to
wait a bit longer on that one to see if more feedback emerges.

It serves no useful purpose and wasn't as popular as its equally meritless
cousin, srandomdev(3).
Setting aside the problems with rand(3) in general, the problem with this
interface is that the seed isn't shared with the caller (other than by
attacking the output of the generator, which is trivial, but not a hallmark of
pleasant API design). The (arguable) utility of rand(3) or random(3) is as a
semi-fast simulation generator which produces consistent results from a given
seed. These are mutually at odd. Furthermore, sometimes people got the
mistaken impression that a high quality random seed meant a weak generator like
rand(3) or random(3) could be used for things like cryptographic key
generation. This is absolutely not so.
The API was never part of a standard and was not widely used in tree. Existing
in-tree uses have all been removed.
Possible replacement in out of tree codebases:
char buf[3];
time_t t;
time(t);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%S", gmtime(&t));
srand(atoi(buf));

o Make sure that it's clear that I don't claim All Rights reserved by listing
All Rights Reserved on same line as other copyright holders (but not

Relative performance to rand(3) is sort of irrelevant; they do different things
and a user with sensitivity to RNG performance won't use libc random(3) anyway.
The historical note about bad seeding is long obsolete, referring to a 1996 or
earlier version of FreeBSD.

random.3 is only "better" in contrast to rand.3. Both are non-cryptographic
pseudo-random number generators. The opening blurbs of each's DESCRIPTION
section does emphasize this, and correctly directs unfamiliar developers to
arc4random(3). However, the summary (".Nd" or Name description) of random.3
conflicted in tone and message with that warning.
Resolve the conflict by clarifying in the Nd section that random(3) is
non-cryptographic and pseudo-random. Elide the "better" qualifier which
implied a comparison but did not provide a specific object to contrast.

Since inits for the main binary are run from rtld (for some time), the
rtld_exit atexit(3) handler, which is passed from rtld to the program
entry and installed by csu, is installed after any atexit(3) handlers
installed by main binary constructors. This means that rtld_exit() is
fired before main binary handlers.
Typical C++ static constructors are executed from init (either binary
or libs) but use atexit(3) to ensure that destructors are called in
the right order, independent of the linking order. Also, C++
libraries finalizers call __cxa_finalize(3) to flush library'
atexit(3) entries. Since atexit(3) entry is cleared after being run,
this would be mostly innocent, except that, atexit(rtld_exit) done
after main binary constructors, makes destructors from libraries
executed before destructors for main.
Fix by reordering atexit(rtld_exit) before inits for main binary, same
as it happened when inits were called by csu. Do it using new private
libc symbol with pre-defined ABI.

When presented with an arg string like '-l-', getopt_long will successfully
parse out the 'l' short option, then proceed to match '--' against the first
longopts entry as it later does a strncmp with len=0. This latter bit is
arguably another bug in itself, but presumably not a practical issue as all
callers of parse_long_options are already doing the right thing (except this
one pointed out).
An opt string like '-l-' should be considered malformed and throw a bad
argument rather than behaving as if '--' were passed. It cannot possibly do
what the invoker expects, and it's probably the result of a typo (ls -l- a)
rather than any intent.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
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.

abort_handler_s() currently simply calls abort(), though the standard
specifies more: "Writes an implementation-defined message to stderr
which must include the string pointed to by msg and calls abort()."
memset_s() is missing error condition "n > smax", and does not invoke
the constraint handler after filling the buffer: "following errors are
detected at runtime and call the currently installed constraint
handler function after storing ch in every location of the destination
range [dest, dest+destsz) if dest and destsz are themselves valid",
one of the errors is "n > smax" itself.
