PR252358 reported a serious performance problem when
copying a large non-sparse file on a UFS file system.
This problem seems to have been caused by a large
number of SEEK_HOLE operations, with one done
for each copy_file_range(2) call.
This patch modifies cp(1) to use a large (SSIZE_MAX)
len argument, reducing the number of system calls
and resolving the performance issue.
While here, convert the type of the "rcount" from "int"
to "ssize_t" so that it is consistent with that returned
by both read(2) and copy_file_range(2).

This change has been motivated by a mail from bde sent in 2015 in
which he mentioned inappropriate use of sscanf() in 3 programs in
/bin.
This change removes the potential mismatch of the types of the return
values and the variable width specified in the scan pattern. While
there was no issue with the patterns and types used, the new code is
simpler and more efficient.
The previous version normalized the width list (replaced empty fields
with "0") just to be able to use sscanf() on the string.
It is much simpler to just parse the string as-is.
The clearing of f_notabs is preserved for the case that less than 9
width values have been defined, but I do not understand the rationale
for this particular condition. E.g., LS_COLWIDTHS="::::::::" will be
counted as 9 defined fields (may clear f_notabs) but is no different
fron LS_COLWIDTHS="" with regard to the field width (and that does not
clear f_notabs, since there are less than 9 fields).
This is addressing cases such as fts_read(3) encountering an [EIO]
from fchdir(2) when FTS_NOCHDIR is not set. That would otherwise be
seen as a successful traversal in some of these cases while silently
discarding expected work.
As noted in r264201, fts_read() does not set errno to 0 on a successful
EOF so it needs to be set before calling it. Otherwise we might see
a random error from one of the iterations.
gzip is ignoring most errors and could be improved separately.

The acl_from_stat function accepts a stat_t * argument, but only uses its
st_mode field. There is no reason to pass the whole struct, so make it accept
a mode_t and rename the function to acl_from_mode.
Linux has non-standard acl_from_mode function in its libacl, so naming the
function this way may help discovering it during porting efforts.

There are some tests available in the NetBSD test suite, but we don't
currently pass all of those; further investigation will go into that. For
now, just add a basic test as well as a test that copies from /dev/null to a
file.
The /dev/null test confirms that the file gets created if it's empty, then
that it truncates the file if it's non-empty. This matches some usage that
was previously employed in the build and was replaced in r366042 by a
simpler shell construct.
I will also plan on coming back to expand these in due time.

The current default is provided in various Makefile.inc in some top-level

of the build a little deeper (e.g. libcasper).
Provide a default in src.sys.mk and set WARNS to it in bsd.sys.mk if that
variable is defined. This lets us relatively cleanly provide a default WARNS
no matter where you're building in the src tree without breaking things
outside of the tree.
Crunchgen has been updated as a bootstrap tool to work on this change
because it needs r365605 at a minimum to succeed. The cleanup necessary to

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.

This flag will now show the processor number on which a process is running.
This change was inspired by PR129965. Initially I didn't think that the
patch attached to it was correct -- it sacrificed ki_estcpu use in "cpu"
for ki_lastcpu and I thought that the old functionality should be kept and
the new (cpu#) one added to it. But I've since discovered that ki_estcpu is
sched_4bsd-specific. What's worse, it represents the same thing as
ki_pctcpu, except ki_pctcpu is universal -- so "%cpu" has been using it
successfully. Therefore, I've decided to replace information based on
ki_estcpu with information based on ki_oncpu/ki_lastcpu.
Key parts of the code and manual changes were borrowed from top(1).

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.
EOF
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.
