This structure is not part of POSIX. According to POSIX, gettimeofday()
has the following prototype:
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *restrict tp, void *restrict tzp);
Also, POSIX states that gettimeofday() shall return 0 (as long as tzp is
not used). Remove dead error handling code. Also use NULL for a
nul-pointer instead of integer 0.
While there, change all pieces of code that only use tv_sec to use
time(3), as this provides less overhead.
symbolic link to a directory for the target as a symbolic link instead of
a directory. This makes it possible to atomically update a symbolic
link using rename().

When waiting for child processes using "wait" or if "set -T" is in effect, a
signal interrupts the wait. Make sure there is no window where the signal
handler may be invoked (setting a flag) just before going to sleep.
There is a similar race condition in the shell language, but scripts can
avoid it by exiting from the trap handler or enforcing synchronization using
a fifo.
If SIGCHLD is not trapped, a signal handler must be installed for it. Only
install this handler for the duration of the wait to avoid triggering
unexpected [EINTR] errors elsewhere.
Note that for some reason only SIGINT and SIGQUIT interrupt a "wait"
command. This remains the case.
Examples:
export x=~
now expands the tilde
local y=$1
is now safe, even if $1 contains IFS characters or metacharacters.
For a word to "look like an assignment", it must start with a name followed
by an equals sign, none of which may be quoted.
The special treatment applies when the first word (potentially after
"command") is "export", "readonly" or "local". There may be quoting
characters but no expansions. If "local" is overridden with a function there
is no special treatment ("export" and "readonly" cannot be overridden with a
function).
If things like
local arr=(1 2 3)
are ever allowed in the future, they cannot call a "local" function. This
would either be a run-time error or it would call the builtin.
This matches Austin Group bug #351, planned for the next issue of POSIX.1.

On recent versions of NetBSD's libedit, el_gets
now sets el_len to -1 on error so we can
distinguish between a NULL string and an error.
This fixes sh from exiting with newer versions
of libedit now allowing EINTR to return.

1. Avoid a cd back into ${.CURDIR} to run mkbuiltins when we know make
will first cd into ${.OBJDIR}. Keep the cwd to what make sets it to.
2. Don't tell mkbuiltins where to write to (= ${.OBJDIR}), but where to
get sources from (= ${.CURDIR}). This to compensate for point 1.
This fixes a problem with bmake's mk files that optimize ${.OBJDIR} to
expand to "." after changing cwd, not taking into account that the
target is pretty much undoing that and not getting the full path to the
object tree anymore.
scripts the way sysctl(8) is. The -N option, like in sysctl(8),
displays only the kenv names, not their values. The -v option prints an
individual kenv variable name with its value as name="value". This is
the inverse of sysctl(8)'s -n flag, since the default behaviour of
kenv(1) is already like sysctl(8) -n.

This uses vfork() for simple commands and command substitutions containing a
single simple command, invoking an external program under certain conditions
(no redirections or variable assignments, non-interactive shell, no job
control). These restrictions limit the amount of code executed in a vforked
child.
There is a large speedup (for example 35%) in microbenchmarks. The
difference in buildkernel is smaller (for example 0.5%) but still
statistically significant. See
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2012-January/037581.html
for some numbers.
The use of vfork() can be disabled by setting a variable named
SH_DISABLE_VFORK.
In the first command of a 'for', $? should be the exit status of the last
pipeline (command substitution in the word list or command before 'for'),
not always 0.
