POSIX is pretty clear that command -v, command -V and type shall write
absolute pathnames. Therefore, we need to prepend the current directory's
name to relative pathnames.
This can happen either when PATH contains a relative pathname or when the
operand contains a slash but is not an absolute pathname.
If job control is not enabled, a background job (... &) ignores SIGINT and
SIGQUIT, but this can be reverted using the trap builtin in the same shell
environment.
Using the set builtin to change options would also revert SIGINT and SIGQUIT
to their previous dispositions.
This broke due to r317298. Calling setsignal() reverts the effect of
ignoresig().

INTOFF postpones SIGINT processing and INTON enables it again. This is
important so an interactive shell can return to the top level prompt when
Ctrl+C is pressed.
Given that INTON is automatically done when a builtin completes, the part
where onsig() ignores suppressint when in_dotrap is true is both unnecessary
and unsafe. If the trap is for some other signal than SIGINT, arbitrary code
could have been interrupted.
Historically, INTOFF remained in effect for longer.

When job control is not enabled, the shell ignores SIGINT while waiting for
a foreground process unless that process exits on SIGINT. In this case, the
foreground process is sleep and it does not exit on SIGINT because the
signal is only sent to the shell. Depending on order of events, this could
cause the SIGINT to be unexpectedly ignored.
On lightly loaded bare metal, the chance of this happening tends to be less
than 0.01% but with higher loads and/or virtualization it becomes more
likely.
Starting the sleep in background and using the wait builtin ensures SIGINT
will not be ignored.

Historically, we've allowed read() of a directory and some filesystems will
accommodate (e.g. ufs/ffs, msdosfs). From the history department staffed by
Warner: <<EOF
pdp-7 unix seemed to allow reading directories, but they were weird, special
things there so I'm unsure (my pdp-7 assembler sucks).
1st Edition's sources are lost, mostly. The kernel allows it. The
reconstructed sources from 2nd or 3rd edition read it though.
V6 to V7 changed the filesystem format, and should have been a warning, but
reading directories weren't materially changed.
4.1b BSD introduced readdir because of UFS. UFS broke all directory reading
programs in 1983. ls, du, find, etc all had to be rewritten. readdir() and
friends were introduced here.
SysVr3 picked up readdir() in 1987 for the AT&T fork of Unix. SysVr4 updated
all the directory reading programs in 1988 because different filesystem
types were introduced.
In the 90s, these interfaces became completely ubiquitous as PDP-11s running
V7 faded from view and all the folks that initially started on V7 upgraded
to SysV. Linux never supported this (though I've not done the software
archeology to check) because it has always had a pathological diversity of
filesystems.

Disallowing read(2) on a directory has the side-effect of masking
application bugs from relying on other implementation's behavior
(e.g. Linux) of rejecting these with EISDIR across the board, but allowing
it has been a vector for at least one stack disclosure bug in the past[0].
By POSIX, this is implementation-defined whether read() handles directories
or not. Popular implementations have chosen to reject them, and this seems
sensible: the data you're reading from a directory is not structured in some
unified way across filesystem implementations like with readdir(2), so it is
impossible for applications to portably rely on this.
With this patch, we will reject most read(2) of a dirfd with EISDIR. Users
that know what they're doing can conscientiously set
bsd.security.allow_read_dir=1 to allow read(2) of directories, as it has
proven useful for debugging or recovery. A future commit will further limit
the sysctl to allow only the system root to read(2) directories, to make it
at least relatively safe to leave on for longer periods of time.
While we're adding logic pertaining to directory vnodes to vn_io_fault, an
additional assertion has also been added to ensure that we're not reaching
vn_io_fault with any write request on a directory vnode. Such request would
be a logical error in the kernel, and must be debugged rather than allowing
it to potentially silently error out.
Commented out shell aliases have been placed in root's chsrc/shrc to promote
awareness that grep may become noisy after this change, depending on your
usage.
A tentative MFC plan has been put together to try and make it as trivial as
possible to identify issues and collect reports; note that this will be
strongly re-evaluated. Tentatively, I will MFC this knob with the default as
it is in HEAD to improve our odds of actually getting reports. The future
priv(9) to further restrict the sysctl WILL NOT BE MERGED BACK, so the knob
will be a faithful reversion on stable/12. We will go into the merge
acknowledging that the sysctl default may be flipped back to restore
historical behavior at *any* point if it's warranted.

Austin Group bugs #1226 and #1250 changed the requirements for shell scripts
without #! (POSIX does not specify #!; this is about the shell execution
when execve(2) returns an [ENOEXEC] error).
POSIX says we shall allow execution if the initial part intended to be
parsed by the shell consists of characters and does not contain the NUL
character. This allows concatenating a shell script (ending with exec or
exit) and a binary payload.
In order to reject common binary files such as PNG images, check that there
is a lowercase letter or expansion before the last newline before the NUL
character, in addition to the check for the newline character suggested by
POSIX.
The shell maintains a count of the number of times SIGINT processing has
been disabled via INTOFF, so SIGINT processing resumes when all disables
have enabled again (INTON).
If an error occurs in a vfork() child, the processing of the error enables
SIGINT processing again, and the INTON in vforkexecshell() causes the count
to become negative.
As a result, a later INTOFF may not actually disable SIGINT processing. This
might cause memory corruption if a SIGINT arrives at an inopportune time. As
of r360452, it causes the shell to abort when it would unsafely allocate or
free memory in certain ways.
Note that various places such as errors in non-special builtins
unconditionally reset the count to 0, so the problem might still not always
be visible.

Specifically, any system with a 32-bit size_t; -residue is calculated as a
32-bit *then* promoted to the 64-bit off_t and the result is ultimately
wrong. This resulted in what would appear to be truncated output, as only
the first line would be read.
Correct it by just making residue an off_t to begin with, since this is what
lseek will take anyways.

fd.
The read built-in command calls read(2) with a 1-byte buffer because
newline characters need to be detected even on a byte stream which
comes from a non-seekable file descriptor. Because of this, the
following script calls >6,000 read(2) to show a 6KiB file:
while read IN; do echo "$IN"; done < /COPYRIGHT
When the input byte stream is seekable, it is possible to read a data
block and then reposition the file pointer to where a newline
character found. This change adds a small buffer to do this and
reduces the number of read(2) calls.
Theoretically, multiple built-in commands reading the same seekable
byte stream in a single pipe chain can share the buffer. However,
this change just makes a single invocation of the read built-in
allocate a buffer and deallocate it every time for simplicity.
Although this causes read(2) to read the same regions multiple times,
the performance penalty should be small compared to the reduction of
read(2) calls.

If getcwd() failed earlier on but later succeeded in the pwd builtin,
there was no INTOFF protection between calling savestr() and storing its
result.
It is quite rare for getcwd() to fail, and rarer for it to succeed later in
the same directory.
Found via code inspection for changing ckmalloc() and similar to assert
INTOFF protection instead of applying it directly (which protects against
corrupting malloc's internal state but allows memory leaks or double frees).

If executing a file fails with an [ENOEXEC] error, the shell executes the
file as a shell script, except that this execution may instead result in an
error message if the file is binary.
Per a recent Austin Group interpretation, we will need to change this to

Austin Group bugs #1226 and #1250.

The pipefail option allows checking the exit status of all commands in a
pipeline more easily, at a limited cost of complexity in sh itself. It works
similarly to the option in bash, ksh93 and mksh.
Like ksh93 and unlike bash and mksh, the state of the option is saved when a
pipeline is started. Therefore, even in the case of commands like
A | B &
a later change of the option does not change the exit status, the same way
(A | B) &
works.
Since SIGPIPE is not handled specially, more work in the script is required
for a proper exit status for pipelines containing commands such as head that
may terminate successfully without reading all input. This can be something
like
(
cmd1
r=$?
if [ "$r" -gt 128 ] && [ "$(kill -l "$r")" = PIPE ]; then
exit 0
else
exit "$r"
