With the new expansion code (word splitting during instead of after other
expansion processing), tracing the result of command substitution is no
longer possible, so stop trying.
The parsed internal representation of words consists of a byte string with a
list of nodes (commands in command substitution). Each unescaped CTLBACKQ or
CTLBACKQ | CTLQUOTE byte corresponds to an entry in the list.
If param in ${param#%##%%word} is not set, the word is not expanded (in a
deviation of POSIX shared with other ash variants and ksh93). Erroneously,
the pointer in the list of commands (argbackq) was not advanced. This caused
the wrong command to be executed later if the outer word contained another
command substitution.
Example:
echo "${unsetvar#$(echo a)}$(echo b)"
wrote "a" but should write "b".

A follow-up fix for r314685.
Because the -w flag is parsed after ps(1) infers termwidth from COLUMNS and
stdout, and UNLIMITED happens to be the zero value, the single -w flag in
combination with a non-terminal stdout or COLUMNS=0 could result in output
truncated at 131 characters. (Despite the output being unlimited without
-w.)
Obviously, adding more -w shouldn't truncate output lines.
The committed patch is from bdrewery@, and I've reviewed and tested it.

Code like t=$(stat -f %m "$file") segfaulted if -T was active and a trap
was taken while the shell was waiting for the child process to finish.
What happened was that the dotrap() call in waitforjob() was hit. This
re-entered command execution (including expand.c) at a point not expected by
expbackq(), and global state (unallocated stack string and argbackq) was
corrupted.
To fix this, change expbackq() to prepare for command execution to be

If stdout isn't a tty, use unlimited width output rather than truncating to
79 characters. This is helpful for shell scripts or e.g., 'ps | grep foo'.
This hardcoded width has some history: In The Beginning of History[0], the
width of ps was hardcoded as 80 bytes. In 1985, Bloom@ added detection
using TIOCGWINSZ on stdin.[1] In 1986, Kirk merged a change to check
stdout's window size instead. In 1990, the fallback checks to stderr and
stdin's TIOCGWINSZ were added by Marc@, with the commit message "new
version."[2]
OS X Darwin has a very similar modification to ps(1), which simply sets
UNLIMITED for all non-tty outputs.[3] I've chosen to respect COLUMNS
instead of behaving identically to Darwin here, but I don't feel strongly
about that. We could match OS X for parity if that is desired.

Per Austin group issue #884, always set IFS to $' \t\n'. As before, IFS will
be exported iff it was in the environment.
Most shells (e.g. bash, ksh93 and mksh) already did this. This change
improves predictability, in that scripts can simply rely on the default
value.
However, the effect on security is little, since applications should not be
calling the shell with attacker-controlled environment variable names in the
first place and other security-sensitive variables such as PATH should be
and are imported by the shell.
When using a new sh with an old (before 10.2) libc wordexp(), IFS is no
longer passed on. Otherwise, wordexp() continues to pass along IFS from the

target. Due to a way issignal() selects the next signal to deliver
and report, if the simultaneous or already pending another signal
exists, that signal might be reported by the next waitpid(2) call.
This causes minor annoyance for debuggers, which must be prepared to
take any signal as the first event, then filter SIGSTOP later.
More importantly, for tools like gcore(1), which attach and then
detach without processing events, SIGSTOP might leak to be delivered
after PT_DETACH. This results in the process being unintentionally
stopped after detach, which is fatal for automatic tools.
The solution is to force SIGSTOP to be the first signal reported after
the attach. Attach code is modified to set P2_PTRACE_FSTP to indicate
that the attaching ritual was not yet finished, and issignal() prefers
SIGSTOP in that condition. Also, the thread which handles
P2_PTRACE_FSTP is made to guarantee to own p_xthread during the first
waitpid(2). All that ensures that SIGSTOP is consumed first.
Additionally, if P2_PTRACE_FSTP is still set on detach, which means
that waitpid(2) was not called at all, SIGSTOP is removed from the
queue, ensuring that the process is resumed on detach.
In issignal(), when acting on STOPing signals, remove the signal from
queue before suspending. Otherwise parallel attach could result in
ptracestop() acting on that STOP as if it was the STOP signal from the
attach. Then SIGSTOP from attach leaks again.
As a minor refactoring, some bits of the common attach code is moved
to new helper proc_set_traced().

The default: case is the likely cause of Coverity CID 1008328. If
i is 126 at the top of the loop interation where the default case
is triggered, i will be incremented to 127 by the default case,
then incremented to 128 at the top of the loop before being compared
to 127 (PROMPTLENT - 1) and terminating the loop. Then the NUL
termination code after the loop will write to ps[128]. Fix by
checking for overflow before incrementing the index and storing the
second character in the buffer.
These fixes are not guaranteed to satisfy Coverity. The code that
increments i in the 'h'/'H' and 'w'/'W' cases may be beyond its

needs to be changed
- Allow PACKAGE to be overridden by callers instead of forcing it to always be
`tests`. In the event we get to the point where things can be split up
enough in the base system, it would make more sense to group the tests
with the blocks they're a part of, e.g. byacc with byacc-tests, etc
- Remove PACKAGE definitions where possible, i.e. where FILES wasn't used
previously.
- Remove unnecessary TESTSPACKAGE definitions; this has been elided into

- Remove unnecessary BINDIRs used previously with ${PACKAGE}FILES;

Forbid (temporary or permanent) modifications of the strings in NARG nodes

Tilde expansion now needs to copy the username for the terminating '\0'.
Per POSIX, 'cd -' should use the OLDPWD shell variable, not internal state.
This variable is normally exported.
Also, if OLDPWD is not set, fail 'cd -' instead of changing to the current
directory.
Some variables like PATH call a function when modified. Make sure to call
this also when leaving a function where such a variable was made local.
Make sure to restore local variables before shellparam, so getopts state is
not clobbered.
Redirect 'cd -' output to /dev/null since POSIX requires it to write the new
directory name even if not interactive, but we currently only write it if
interactive.
Command substitutions containing a single simple command and here-document
expansion are performed in a subshell environment, but may not fork. Any
modified state of the shell environment should be restored afterward.
The state that OPTIND=1 had been done was not saved and restored here.
Note that the other parts of shellparam need not be saved and restored,
since they are not modified in these situations (a fork is done before such
modifications).
With the new expand.c code, the intermediate representation passed to the
pathname generation code only contains CTLESC, not CTLQUOTEMARK.
CTLQUOTEMARK now only occurs in the text of NARG nodes (output of the
parser).
This avoids the need to add and remove CTLESC bytes if pathname generation
will not be performed (set -f).
Side effect: the order of operations is slightly different: pathname
generation in ${$+* $(CMD)} will not see filesystem changes from CMD.
This simplifies the code and should be faster in some cases.
Side effect: the order of operations is different so that the value of IFS
used when IFS is modified during expansion (${IFS:=...}, ${IFS=...} or
$((...IFS=...))) may be different. Note that this order is highly unportable
between shells.

Shell syntax is too complicated to detect command substitution and unquoted
operators reliably without implementing much of sh's parser. Therefore, have
sh do this detection.
While changing sh's support anyway, also read input from a pipe instead of
arguments to avoid {ARG_MAX} limits and improve privacy, and output count
and length using 16 instead of 8 digits.
The basic concept is:
execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "freebsd_wordexp ${1:+\"$1\"} -f "$2",
"", flags & WRDE_NOCMD ? "-p" : "", <pipe with words>);
The WRDE_BADCHAR error is still implemented in libc. POSIX requires us to
fail strings containing unquoted braces with code WRDE_BADCHAR. Since this
is normally not a syntax error in sh, there is still a need for checking
code in libc, we_check().
The new we_check() is an optimistic check that all the characters
<newline> | & ; < > ( ) { }
are quoted. To avoid duplicating too much sh logic, such characters are
permitted when quoting characters are seen, even if the quoting characters
may themselves be quoted. This code reports all WRDE_BADCHAR errors; bad
characters that get past it and are a syntax error in sh return WRDE_SYNTAX.
Although many implementations of WRDE_NOCMD erroneously allow some command
substitutions (and ours even documented this), there appears to be code that
relies on its security (codesearch.debian.net shows quite a few uses).
Passing untrusted data to wordexp() still exposes a denial of service
possibility and a fairly large attack surface.
