The ls(1) (with -l option) and find(1) (with -ls option) utilties
segment fault when operating on files with very large modification
times. A recent disk corruption set a spurious bit in the mtime
field of one of my files to 0x8000000630b0167 (576460753965089127)
which is in year 18,266,940,962. I discovered the problem when
running fsck_ffs(8) which uses ctime(3) to convert it to a readable
format. Ctime cannot fit the year into its four character field, so
returns ??? ??? ?? ??:??:?? ???? (typically Thu Nov 24 18:22:48 2021).
With the filesystem mounted, I used `ls -l' to see how it would
report the modification time and it segment faulted. The find(1)
program also segment faulted (see script below). Both these utilities
call the localtime(3) function to decode the modification time.
Localtime(3) returns a pointer to a struct tm (which breaks things
out into its component pieces: year, month, day, hour, minute,
second). The ls(1) and find(1) utilities then print out the date
based on the appropriate fields in the returned tm structure.
Although not documented in the localtime(3) manual page, localtime(3)
returns a NULL pointer if the passed in time translates to a year
that will not fit in an "int" (which if "int" is 32-bits cannot
hold the year 18,266,940,962). Since ls(1) and find(1) do not check
for a NULL struct tm * return from localtime(3), they segment fault
when they try to dereference it.
When localtime(3) returns NULL, the attached patches produce a date
string of "bad date val". This string is chosen because it has the
same number of characters (12) and white spaces (2) as the usual
date string, for example "Sep 3 22:06" or "May 15 2017".
The most recent ANSI standard for localtime(3) does say that localtime(3)
can return NULL (see https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/
and enter localtime in the search box). Our localtime(3) man page should
be updated to indicate that NULL is a possible return. More importantly,
there are over 100 uses of localtime(3) in the FreeBSD source tree (see
Differential Revision D36474 for the list). Most do not check for a NULL
return from localtime(3).

This code isn't designed to be particularly portable outside of FreeBSD.
To be more specific it doesn't make much sense to support compiling
find(1) on VMS.
When building FreeBSD the makefiles invoke find with various flags such as
`-s` that aren't supported in the native /usr/bin/find. To fix this I
build the FreeBSD version of find and use that when crossbuilding.
Inserting lots if #ifdefs in the code is rather ugly but I don't see a
better solution.

By default, or with the -P flag, find(1) should evaluate paths "physically."
For symlinks, this means using the link itself instead of the target.
Historically (since the import of BSD 4.4-lite from CSRG), find(1) has
failed to refer to the link itself, at least for -newer and -samefile.

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.

If the resulting argument is longer than MAXPATHLEN, realloc() was called to
extend the space, but the new pointer was not correctly stored.
Different from what OpenBSD has done, rewrite brace_subst() to calculate the
necessary space first and realloc() at most once.
As before, the e_len fields are not updated in case of a realloc.
Therefore, a following long argument will do another realloc.

As per POSIX, the -exec ... {} + primary always returns true, but a non-zero
exit status causes find to return a non-zero exit status itself. GNU does
the same, and also for -execdir ... {} +.
It does not make much sense to return false from the primary only when the
child process happens to be run.
The behaviour for -exec/-execdir ... ; remains unchanged: the primary
returns true or false depending on the exit status, and find's exit status
is unaffected.
fts_read() leaves errno unchanged on EOF and sets it on error, so set errno
to 0 before calling it. Also, don't trust finish_execplus() to leave errno
unchanged.
fts(3) detects directories even in FTS_NOSTAT mode (so it can descend into
them).
No functional change is intended, but find commands that use -type d but no
primaries that still require stat/lstat calls make considerably fewer system
calls.
* Do not match symlinks that are followed because of -H or -L. This is
explicitly documented in GNU find's info file and is like -type l.
* Fix matching symlinks in subdirectories when fts changes directories.
Also, avoid some readlink() calls on files that are obviously not symlinks
(because of fts(3) restrictions, not all of them).

The code did not take into account that readlink() does not add a

Formerly, a command like find dir1/dir2 -delete would delete everything
under dir1/dir2 but not dir1/dir2 itself.
When -L is not specified and "." can be opened, the fts(3) code underlying
find(1) is careful to avoid following symlinks or being dropped in different
locations by moving the directory fts is currently traversing. If a
problematic concurrent modification is detected, fts will not enter the
directory or abort. Files found in the search are returned via the current
working directory and a pathname not containing a slash.
For paranoia, find(1) verifies this when -delete is used. However, it is too
paranoid about the root of the traversal. It is already assumed that the
initial pathname does not refer to directories or symlinks that might be
replaced by untrusted users; otherwise, the whole traversal would be unsafe.
Therefore, it is not necessary to do the check for fts_level ==
FTS_ROOTLEVEL.
Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented without error
messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing directory and passing "." as
argument to find. This works in the old as well as the new version of find.
