Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified 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.
No functional change intended.
In addition to adding `static' where possible:
- bin/date: Move `retval' into extern.h to make it visible to date.c.
- bin/ed: Move globally used variables into ed.h.
- sbin/camcontrol: Move `verbose' into camcontrol.h and fix shadow warnings.
- usr.bin/calendar: Remove unneeded variables.
- usr.bin/chat: Make `line' local instead of global.
- usr.bin/elfdump: Comment out unneeded function.
- usr.bin/rlogin: Use _Noreturn instead of __dead2.
- usr.bin/tset: Pull `Ospeed' into extern.h.
- usr.sbin/mfiutil: Put global variables in mfiutil.h.
- usr.sbin/pkg: Remove unused `os_corres'.
- usr.sbin/quotaon, usr.sbin/repquota: Remove unused `qfname'.
- Convert the (char *) cast+cast backs magic to
memcpy(3). Without this, the resulting code
is potentially risky with higher optimization
levels.
- Avoid same name when calling local variables,
as well as global symbols. This reduces
confusion for both human and compiler.
- Add necessary casts, consts
- Use new style function defination.
- Minor style.Makefile(5) tweak
- Bump WARNS?= from 0 to 6

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
and sbrk's prototype from char *sbrk(int) to void *sbrk(intptr_t).
This makes us more consistant with NetBSD and standards which include
these functions. Bruce pointed out that ptrdiff_t would probably
have been better than intptr_t, but this doesn't match other
implimentations.
Also remove local declarations of sbrk and unnecessary casting.

rtld would accept the first shared library it found with the right
major version number, even if the minor version number was too low.
If a different version of the shared library with an adequate minor
version number appeared later in the search path, it would not be
found.
Now the rtld searches all locations first looking for a library
with a minor version that is high enough. Only if such a library
is not found will it fall back to accepting a minor version number
that is too low. As before, a warning comes out in that case.
This solves some problems encountered when building an older world
on a -current system.
least 2 version numbers. This fixes the bug where the dynamic
linker would try to load an ELF shared library if it found one.
Note, this change also fixes the same thing in "ld", because the
code is shared.
For "ld" there is still a problem with ".a" libraries, which cannot
be distinguished by name. I haven't decided what, if anything, to
do about that.
it to sit right...
The __error() hack gave out the wrong address. It returned the address of
errno in ld.so instead of the address of errno in the main program. Oops.
The hack is now correct, just in time to be obsoleted by elf.
alternative, I present .. ta! da! .. the __error() hack.
This patch to the a.out dynamic loader provides old a.out binaries
with __error() if they are linked with an older libc that lacks it,
but are also linked against a library that needs it.
There is a smaller, tricker hack that takes advantage of the fact
that ld.so has __error() too, courtesy of the new libc, but this
hack is the straightforward version.
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.
Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage.
This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no
longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old
libraries there, they are not used anymore.
We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...
emacs a.out file, self-generated by emacs's "unexec" function in
"unexsunos4.c", is invalid. In particular, its "_end" symbol has
the wrong value. The dynamic linker was using the value of that
symbol to initialize its sbrk break level.
The workaround is to peek at the executable's a.out header in
memory, and calculate what "_end" should be based on the segment
sizes.
I will work out a fix for emacs and send it to the FSF. This
dynamic linker workaround is still worthwhile, if only to avoid
forcing all emacs users to build a new version.
Note: xemacs gives a bogus warning at startup, for related reasons.
The warning is harmless and can safely be ignored. I will send a
patch to the xemacs maintainers to get rid of it, and meanwhile
add a patch file to our port.
things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program
being executed. This has several advantages, the big one being
that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs
and get useful information out of them. Until now, that didn't
work. The internal malloc package placed the tables describing
the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that
was not written to core files. Thus the debugger had no way of
determining what was loaded where in memory. Now that the dynamic
linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not
necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular
heap area where they will be included in core dumps. The debugger
now works very well indeed, thank you very much.

ld-specific flags. LDFLAGS is really for ld-related flags for cc,
not for ld, and some flags, e.g., -Bshareable, mean completely
different things to cc and ld. Having the wrong things in LDFLAGS
also broke the standard ${PROG} target. This was kludged around
by using a special rule that depended on LDFLAGS being bogus.
Fixing `make depend' broke the special rule but fixed the standard
rule (except in the DESTDIR case, which was handled more strictly
here than elsewhere).
If it is set to a nonempty string, then simply skip any missing
shared libraries. This came up in a discussion long ago as a
potentially useful feature at sysinstall time. For example, an
X11 utility could be used without the X libraries being present,
provided the utility had a mode in which no X functions were actually
called.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
