Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified 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.
reallocarray(3) is a non portable extension that originated in OpenBSD.
Given that it is already in FreeBSD's libc it is useful for the cases
where reallocation involves a multiplication.

iterate it under the last place we deactivate instead.
2) Call __rebuild_environ() not on each iteration but once, only at the end
of whole loop (of course, only in case if something is changed).

unsetenv("a") should remove them all to make later getenv("a") impossible.

instead of returning an error if a corrupt (not a "name=value" string) entry
in the environ array is detected when (re)-building the internal
environment. This should prevent applications or libraries from
experiencing issues arising from the expectation that these calls will
complete even with corrupt entries. The behavior is now as it was prior to
7.0.

**environ entries. This puts non-getenv(3) operations in line with
getenv(3) in that bad environ entries do not cause all operations to
fail. There is still some inconsistency in that getenv(3) in the
absence of any environment-modifying operation does not emit corrupt
environ entry warnings.
I also fixed another inconsistency in getenv(3) where updating the
global environ pointer would not be reflected in the return values.
It would have taken an intermediary setenv(3)/putenv(3)/unsetenv(3)
in order to see the change.

the first value (environ[0]) to NULL. This is in addition to the
current detection of environ being replaced, which includes being set to
NULL. Without this fix, the environment is not truly wiped, but appears
to be by getenv() until an *env() call is made to alter the enviroment.
This change is necessary to support those applications that use this
method for clearing environ such as Dovecot and Postfix. Applications
such as Sendmail and the base system's env replace environ (already
detected). While neither of these methods are defined by SUSv3, it is
best to support them due to historic reasons and in lieu of a clean,
defined method.
Add extra units tests for clearing environ using four different methods:
1. Set environ to NULL pointer.
2. Set environ[0] to NULL pointer.
3. Set environ to calloc()'d NULL-terminated array.
4. Set environ to static NULL-terminated array.

This reduces the size of a statically-linked binary by approximately 100KB
in a trivial "return (0)" test application. readelf -S was used to verify
that the .text section was reduced and that using strlen() saved a few
more bytes over using sizeof(). Since the section of code is only called
when environ is corrupt (program bug), I went with fewer bytes over fewer
cycles.
I made minor edits to the submitted patch to make the output resemble
warnx().

or replace (i.e., zdump) the environment after a call to setenv(), putenv()
or unsetenv() has been made, a few changes were made.
- getenv() will return the value from the new environ array.
- setenv() was split into two functions: __setenv() which is most of the
previous setenv() without checks on the name and setenv() which
contains the checks before calling __setenv().
- setenv(), putenv() and unsetenv() will unset all previous values and
call __setenv() on all entries in the new environ array which in turn
adds them to the end of the envVars array. Calling __setenv() instead
of setenv() is done to avoid the temporary replacement of the '=' in a
string with a NUL byte. Some strings may be read-only data.
Added more regression checks for clearing the environment array.
Replaced gettimeofday() with getrusage() in timing regression check for
better accuracy.
Fixed an off-by-one bug in __remove_putenv() in the use of memmove(). This
went unnoticed due to the allocation of double the number of environ
entries when building envVars.
Fixed a few spelling mistakes in the comments.

Convert all calls to POSIX from historic BSD API:
- unsetenv returns an int.
- putenv takes a char * instead of const char *.
- putenv no longer makes a copy of the input string.
- errno is set appropriately for POSIX. Exceptions involve bad environ
variable and internal initialization code. These both set errno to
EFAULT.
Several patches to base utilities to handle the POSIX changes from
Andrey Chernov's previous commit. A few I re-wrote to use setenv()
instead of putenv().
New regression module for tools/regression/environ to test these
functions. It also can be used to test the performance.

Not because I admit they are technically wrong and not because of bug
reports (I receive nothing). But because I surprisingly meets so
strong opposition and resistance so lost any desire to continue that.
Anyone who interested in POSIX can dig out what changes and how
through cvs diffs.
(also IEEE Std 1003.1-2001)
The specs explicitly says that altering passed string
should change the environment, i.e. putenv() directly puts its arg
into environment (unlike setenv() which just copies it there).
It means that putenv() can't be implemented via setenv()
(like we have before) at all. Putenv() value lives (allows modifying)
up to the next putenv() or setenv() call.
Issue 6 (also IEEE Std 1003.1-2001) in following areas:
args, return, errors.
Putenv still needs rewriting because specs explicitly says that
altering passed string later should change the environment (currently we
copy the string so can't provide that).
