Building binaries as PIE allows the executable itself to be loaded at a
random address when ASLR is enabled (not just its shared libraries).
With this change PIE objects have a .pieo extension and INTERNALLIB
libraries libXXX_pie.a.
MK_PIE is disabled for some kerberos5 tools, Clang, and Subversion, as
they explicitly reference .a libraries in their Makefiles. These can
be addressed on an individual basis later. MK_PIE is also disabled for
rtld-elf because it is already position-independent using bespoke
Makefile rules.
Currently only dynamically linked binaries will be built as PIE.

POSIX explicitly states that the application must declare union semun.
This makes no sense, but it is what it is. This brings us into line
with Linux, MacOS/Darwin, and NetBSD.
In a ports exp-run a moderate number of ports fail due to a lack of
approprate autotools-like discovery mechanisms or local patches. A
commit to address them will follow shortly.

Silence on: arch@ (twice)
This contains only bug fixes, no new features. The repository format is
also unchanged from 1.9.2. Full list of changes between 1.9.4 and
earlier versions:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.9.4/CHANGES
Note that the two security issues fixed in 1.9.4 (CVE-2016-2167 and
CVE-2016-2168) do not affect the version of Subversion in the FreeBSD
base system, since neither SASL nor Apache modules are enabled.

This is not properly respecting WITHOUT or ARCH dependencies in target/.
Doing so requires a massive effort to rework targets/ to do so. A
better approach will be to either include the SUBDIR Makefiles directly
and map to DIRDEPS or just dynamically lookup the SUBDIR. These lose
the benefit of having a userland/lib, userland/libexec, etc, though and
results in a massive package. The current implementation of targets/ is
very unmaintainable.
Currently rescue/rescue and sys/modules are still not connected.

This is so that 'make depend' is not a required build step in these
files.
DPSRCS is overall unneeded. DPSRCS already contains SRCS, so anything
which can safely be in SRCS should be. DPSRCS is mostly just a way to
generate files that should not be linked into the final PROG/LIB. For
headers and grammars it is safe for them to be in SRCS since they will
be excluded during linking and installation.
The only remaining uses of DPSRCS are for generating .c or .o files that
must be built before 'make depend' can run 'mkdep' on the SRCS c files
list. A semi-proper example is in tests/sys/kern/acct/Makefile where a
checked-in .c file has an #include on a generated .c file. The
generated .c file should not be linked into the final PROG though since
it is #include'd. The more proper way here is just to build/link it in
though without DPSRCS. Another example is in sys/modules/linux/Makefile
where a shell script runs to parse a DPSRCS .o file that should not be
linked into the module. Beyond those, the need for DPSRCS is largely
unneeded, redundant, and forces 'make depend' to be ran. Generally,
these Makefiles should avoid the need for DPSRCS and define proper
dependencies for their files as well.
An example of an improper usage and why this matters is in usr.bin/netstat.
nl_defs.h was only in DPSRCS and so was not generated during 'make all',
but only during 'make depend'. The files including it lacked proper
depenencies on it, which forced running 'make depend' to workaround that
bug. The 'make depend' target should mostly be used for incremental build
help, not to produce a working build. This specific example was broken in
the meta build until r287905 since it does not run 'make depend'.
The gnu/lib/libreadline/readline case is fine since bsd.lib.mk has 'OBJS:
SRCS:M*.h' when there is no .depend file.

Formal release notes are available:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html
Of particular note, the client checkout format has *not* changed so
upgrades should *not* be required.
When reading a repository (file:// or running as a local server), an
improved fsfs version 7 is available with significant performance
improvements. An optional upgrade is possible to use the new features.
Without the upgrade, this is fully read/write compatible with the
version 6 fsfs as in svn-1.8.

fixes and quality of life improvements.
While there are security issues in this time frame that affect usage as a
server (eg: linked into apache), this isn't possible here.
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.
Reported by: kib
This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

and finish the job. ncurses is now the only Makefile in the tree that
uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
Highlights:
* Security fix for apache server plugin that we don't build or use
* sqlite performance improvements.
* bug fixes for edge cases and some other less common operations.
