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. Reported by: Andrew Gierth <andrew_tao173.riddles.org.uk> Reviewed by: jilles, kib, Andrew Gierth MFC after: 1 week

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
