Set _PATH_DEFPATH to
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin. This is the
path in the default class in the default /etc/login.conf,
excluding ~/bin which would not be expanded properly in a string
constant.
For normal logins, _PATH_DEFPATH is overridden by /etc/login.conf,
~/.login_conf or shell startup files. _PATH_DEFPATH is still used as a
default by execlp(), execvp(), posix_spawnp() and sh if PATH is not set, and
by cron. Especially the latter is a common trap (most recently in PR
204813).

1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.

Temporarily use "From: $user@$hostname" rather than "From: $user".
The latter exposes incompatible behavior if using dma(8). sendmail(8)
(and other alternatives) canonify either form on submission (even
if masquerading), but dma will leak a non-compliant address to
the internet.
This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

requests, default to the previous 60-seconds scheduling method
unless there is any @every_second entries to conserve CPU cycles and
power.
This change also improves scheduling in the default mode by running
as close to the beginning of the minnute as possible by replacing
sleep(3) with nanosleep(2). Previously, the tasks would run anywhere
within the first second of the minute and that offset drifted back
and forth each time cron(8) was engaged.

In order to address some concerns expressed by Terry Lambert

This structure is not part of POSIX. According to POSIX, gettimeofday()
has the following prototype:
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *restrict tp, void *restrict tzp);
Also, POSIX states that gettimeofday() shall return 0 (as long as tzp is
not used). Remove dead error handling code. Also use NULL for a
nul-pointer instead of integer 0.
While there, change all pieces of code that only use tv_sec to use
time(3), as this provides less overhead.
