In an attempt to improve performance, cp reordered directories first
(although the comment says directories last). This is not effective with new
UFS layout policies.
The sorting reorders multiple arguments passed to cp, which may be
undesirable.
Additionally, the comparison function does not induce a total order. Per
POSIX, this causes undefined behaviour in qsort().
NetBSD removed the sorting in 2009.
On filesystems that return directory entries in hash/btree order, sorting by
d_fileno before statting improves performance on large directories. However,
this can only be implemented in fts(3).

Otherwise with '-v' we print out the file name as if it was copied:
/tmp/2gb-card/M0132.CTG not overwritten
/mnt/DCIM/CANONMSC/M0132.CTG -> /tmp/2gb-card/M0132.CTG
Previously, it would either try to copy it anyway and fail (without -R),
or create fifo instead of the socket (with -R).

Note that this changes error reporting behaviour somewhat - before,
no error was reported if ACL couldn't be copied because the target
filesystem doesn't support ACLs. Now, it will be reported - of course,
only if there actually is an ACL to copy.

in the system. A simple heuristics is used to detect what is "enough"
memory: if number of physmem pages is greater than 32k (equalling 128 MB
on machines with 4 kB pages).
Typical immediate result of these changes is reduction in context switches
and the goal is to increase efficiency by using large buffers:
before: /usr/bin/time -hlp cat file1 > file2
...
163 voluntary context switches
11194 involuntary context switches
after: /usr/bin/time -hlp ./cat file1 > file2
...
417 voluntary context switches
272 involuntary context switches

This includes adding support for ACLs into cp(1) and mv(1) userspace
utilities.
For mv(1), if _PC_ACL_EXTENDED is in effect for the source AND destination
operands, the destination file's ACLs shall reflect the source.
For cp(1), if _PC_ACL_EXTENDED is in effect for both source and destination
operands, and -p has been specified, the ACLs from the source shall be
preserved on the destination.
