This prevents accumulating huge amounts of zombies if a script executes
many background commands but no external commands or subshells.
Note that zombies will not be reaped during long calculations (within
the shell process) or read builtins, but those actions do not create
more zombies.
The terminated background commands will also still be remembered by the
shell.

Because this is the first code I'm importing from dash to expand.c, add the
Herbert Xu copyright notice which is in dash's expand.c.
When pathname expanding *\/, the CTLESC representing the quoted state was
erroneously taken as part of the * pathname component. This CTLESC was then
seen by the pattern matching code as escaping the '\0' terminating the
string.
The code is slightly different because dash converts the CTLESC characters
to backslashes and removes all the other CTL* characters to allow
substituting glob(3).
The effect of the bug was also slightly different from dash (where nothing
matched at all). Because a CTLESC can escape a '\0' in some way, whether
files were included despite the bug depended on memory that should not be
read. In particular, on many machines /*\/ expanded to a strict subset of
what /*/ expanded to.
Example:
echo /*"/null"
This should print /dev/null, not /*/null.

This allows doing things like LC_ALL=C some_builtin to run a builtin under a
different locale, just like is possible with external programs. The
immediate reason is that this allows making printf(1) a builtin without
breaking things like LC_NUMERIC=C printf '%f\n' 1.2
This change also affects special builtins, as even though the assignment is
persistent, the export is only to the builtin (unless the variable was
already exported).
Note: for this to work for builtins that also exist as external programs
such as /bin/test, the setlocale() call must be under #ifndef SHELL. The
shell will do the setlocale() calls which may not agree with the environment
variables.
Unset PWD if it is incorrect and no value for it can be determined.
This preserves the logical current directory across shell invocations.
Example (assuming /home is a symlink):
$ cd
$ pwd
/home/foo
$ sh
$ pwd
/home/foo
Formerly the second pwd would show the physical path (symlinks resolved).
These do pretty much nothing (except that parentheses are ignored), but
people seem to use them and allowing them does not hurt much.
Single-quotes seem not to be used and cause silently different behaviour
with ksh93 character constants.
This makes sh a bit more friendly in single user mode, make buildenv, chroot
and the like, and matches other shells.
The -o emacs can be overridden on the command line or in the ENV file.
Note that the following sentence
> Enclosing the full parameter expansion string in double-quotes does not

is now true, but used to be incorrect.
This applies to word in ${v-word}, ${v+word}, ${v=word}, ${v?word} (which
inherits quoting from the outside) and in ${v%word}, ${v%%word}, ${v#word},
${v##word} (which does not inherit any quoting).
In all cases tilde expansion is only attempted at the start of word, even if
word contains spaces. This agrees with POSIX and other shells.
This is the last part of the patch tested in the exp-run.

This is different from dash's approach, which does not track individual
double quotes in the parser, trying to fix this up during expansion.
This treats single quotes inside "${v#...}" incorrectly, however.
This is similar to NetBSD's approach (as submitted in PR bin/57554), but

Redirection errors on subshells already did not abort the shell because
the redirection is executed in the subshell.
Other shells seem to agree that these redirection errors should not abort
the shell.
Also ensure that the redirections will be cleaned up properly in cases like
command eval '{ shift x; } 2>/dev/null'
Example:
{ echo bad; } </var/empty/x; echo good
Although simple commands without a command word (only assignments and/or
redirections) are much like special builtins, POSIX and most shells seem to
agree that redirection errors should not abort the shell in this case. Of
course, the assignments persist and assignment errors are fatal.
To get the old behaviour portably, use the ':' special builtin.
To get the new behaviour portably, given that there are no assignments, use
the 'true' regular builtin.
Make parsebackq a function instead of an emulated nested function.
This puts the setjmp usage in a smaller function where it is easier to avoid
bad optimizations.
* avoid unnecessary fork
* allow executing builtins via command
* executing a special builtin via command removes its special properties
Obtained from: NetBSD (parts)
- correctly handle error output in $(builtin 2>&1), clarify out1/out2 vs
output/errout in the code
- treat all builtins as regular builtins so errors do not abort the shell
and variable assignments do not persist
- respect the caller's INTOFF
Some bugs still exist:
- expansion errors may still abort the shell
- some side effects of expansions and builtins persist
This will be important when things like 'command eval f' will be possible.
Currently, the funcnest = 0 assignment in RESET (called when returning to
the top level after an error in interactive mode) is really sufficient.
Reset the exception handler in the child to main's.
This avoids inappropriate double cleanups or shell duplication when the
exception is caught, such as 'fc' and future 'command eval' and 'command .'.
That is, do not do tilde expansion if any of the CTL* bytes (\201-\210), not
only CTLESC and CTLQUOTEMARK, are encountered. Such an expansion would look
up a user name with sh's internal representation.
The parser does not currently distinguish between backslashed and
unbackslashed \201-\210, so tilde expansion of user names with these bytes
in them is not so easy to fix.
It is already done by evalcommand(), unless special-ness has been removed,
in which case variable assignments should not persist. (These are currently
always special builtins, but this will change later: command builtin,
command substitution.)
This also fixes a memory leak when calling . with variable assignments.
Example:
valgrind --leak-check=full sh -c 'x=1 . /dev/null; x=2'
- Redirecting fds that were not open before kept two copies of the
redirected file.
sh -c '{ :; } 7>/dev/null; fstat -p $$; true'
(both fd 7 and 10 remained open)
- File descriptors used to restore things after redirection were not
set close-on-exec, instead they were explicitly closed before executing
a program normally and before executing a shell procedure. The latter
must remain but the former is replaced by close-on-exec.
sh -c 'exec 7</; { exec fstat -p $$; } 7>/dev/null; true'
(fd 10 remained open)
The examples above are simpler than the testsuite because I do not want to
use fstat or procstat in the testsuite.
* exception handlers are now run with interrupts disabled, which avoids
many race conditions
* fix some cases where SIGINT only aborts one command and continues the
script, in particular if a SIGINT causes an EINTR error which trumped the
interrupt.
Example:
sh -c 'echo < /some/fifo; echo This should not be printed'
The fifo should not have writers. When pressing ctrl+c to abort the open,
the shell used to continue with the next command.
Example:
sh -c '/bin/echo < /some/fifo; echo This should not be printed'
Similar. Note, however, that this particular case did not and does not work
in interactive mode with job control enabled.
This avoids weirdness when 'fc -e vi' or the like is done and there is a
syntax error in the file. Formerly an interactive shell tried to execute
stuff after the syntax error and exited.
This should also avoid similar issues with 'command eval' and 'command .'
when 'command' is implemented properly as in NetBSD sh.
Special builtins did not have this problem since errors in them cause the
shell to exit or to reset various state such as the current command input
file.
* increase buffer size from 100 to 256 bytes
* remove implied flush from out2str(), in particular this avoids unnecessary
flushing in the middle of a -x tracing line
* rename dprintf() to out2fmt_flush(), make it flush out2 and use this
function in various places where flushing is desired after an error
message
This seems more useful and will likely be in the next POSIX standard.

the line number where the command substitution started.
This applies to both the $() and `` forms but is most useful for ``
because the other line number is relative to the enclosed text there.
(For older versions, -v can be used as a workaround.)
This also fixes that trying to execute a non-regular file with a command
name without '/' returns 127 instead of 126.
The fix is rather simplistic: treat CMDUNKNOWN as if the command were found
as an external program. The resulting fork is a bit wasteful but executing
unknown commands should not be very frequent.

For parsing an old-style backquote substitution (`...`),
a string "file" is used to store the contents of the
substitution (with the special backslash processing done).
If an error occurs, the shell cleans up all these files
(returning to the top level) and flush the top level
file. Erroneously, it first flushed the current file and
then cleaned up all extra files, so that the top level
file (i.e. the terminal) was not flushed.

The approach is to check if there may be additional data

If there are empty lines after the command, the check will
not see the end and forks will not be omitted. The same

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

1. Remove useless sub-expression:
- if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string && (nulonly || 1))) {
+ if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string)) {
The sub-expression "(nulonly || 1)" always evaluates to true and
according to CVS logs seems to be just a left-over from some
debugging and introduced by accident. Removing the sub-expression
doesn't change semantics and a code inspection showed that the
variable "nulonly" is also not necessary here in any way (and the
expression would require fixing instead of removing).
2. Remove dead code:
- if (backslash && c == '\\') {
- if (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) != 1) {
- status = 1;
- break;
- }
- STPUTC(c, p);
- } else if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
+ if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
Inspection of the control and data flow showed that variable
"backslash" is always false (0) when the "if"-expression is
evaluated, hence the whole block is effectively dead code.
Additionally, the skipping of characters after a backslash is already
performed correctly a few lines above, so this code is also not
needed at all. According to the CVS logs and the ASH 0.2 sources,
this code existed in this way already since its early days.
3. Cleanup Style:
- ! trap[signo][0] == '\0' &&
+ ! (trap[signo][0] == '\0') &&
The expression wants to ensure the trap is not assigned the empty
string. But the "!" operator has higher precedence than "==", so the
comparison should be put into parenthesis to form the intended way of
expression. Nevertheless the code was effectively not really broken
as both particular NUL comparisons are semantically equal, of course.
But the parenthesized version is a lot more intuitive.
4. Remove shadowing variable declaration:
- char *q;
The declaration of symbol "q" hides another identical declaration of
"q" in the same context. As the other "q" is already reused multiple
times and also can be reused again without negative side-effects,
just remove the shadowing declaration.
5. Just small cosmetics:
- if (ifsset() != 0)
+ if (ifsset())
The ifsset() macro is already coded by returning the boolean result
of a comparison operator, so no need to compare this boolean result
again against a numerical value. This also aligns the macros usage to
the remaining existing code.

benefit of scripts start out as: #!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*-
With this fix in place, we can commit a change to kern/imgact_shell.c
so FreeBSD will process the `#!' line in shell-scripts in a more
standard fashion.

- Move the description of the ``-c string'' option closer to the option itself.
- Add an ENVIRONMENT section (1)
- Add more .Xr cross references to the SEE ALSO section.

work as expected when they have a "shebang line" of:
#!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*- -p
This specific line is recommended in some perl documentation, and I think
I've seen similar lines in documentation for ruby and python. Those
write-ups expect `sh' to ignore everything after the '--' if the first
thing after the '--' is a '#'. See chapter 19, "The Command-Line Interface"
in 3rd edition of "Programming Perl", for some discussion of why perl
recommends using this line in some circumstances.
The above line does work on solaris, irix and aix (as three data points),
and it used to work on FreeBSD by means of a similar patch to execve().
However, that change to execve() effected *all* shells (which caused
other problems), and that processing was recently removed.

XXX from Tor: "The shell can also go into a similar loop if the child was
killed by signal 127, since the shell would believe the child to have
only stopped (WIFSTOPPED() macro returns nonzero value). Disallowing
signals 127 and 128 will fix that problem." See kern/19402 for details.

This should be MFCed soon. While /bin/sh is hard to test the fix is
obviously correct and can be assumed not to break something else

I verified that the problem Joe found is fixed and I ran a full world

I don't plan to ever commit language patches to /bin/sh again. It is
a minefield too big to navigate without a full-time committment, which
I am not willing to do on our /bin/sh.
Under normal circumstances I would recommend using NetBSD's sh which
has a lot of language fixes (like the ones what these patches were
about) but unfortunately they had implemented broken signal behaviour
for shellscript containing interactive programs. Similar issues apply
to pdksh which is OpenBSD's sh.
From my perspective bash2 is the only really working bourne sh out
there and that one is GPLed. Oh well.

sh -e behaviour was incorrect when && and || statements where used in

This is the patch submitted by MORI Kouji <mori@tri.asanuma.co.jp>.
It fixes the issue at hand, but sh fixes like this are super-hard to
verify that they don't break anything else. I ran some of my old test
cases and a few big GNU configure scripts that detected mistakes
before, with the previous sh, patched sh and bash. No differences in
behaviour found. MFC recommended after longer than usual time.

*underrun* when the substitution consists completely of newlines
(e.g. `echo`) and the byte before the source buffer to which p

command line is the one that takes effect is an implementation detail and
users should not rely on this.
The initial stack_block is staticly allocated and will be aligned
according to the alignment requirements of pointers, which does not
necessarily match the alignment enforced by ALIGN. To solve this a
more involved change is required: remove the static initial stack
and deal with an initial condition of not having a stack at all. This
change is therefore more risky than the previous ones, but unavoidable
(other than not using the platform default alignment).

The problem with the previous attempt, as noticed by Marcel, was that
stacknxt was being aligned to a pointer boundary instead of an
