dd(1): neutralize SIGINT while non-async-signal safe code is executing

making the SIGINT handler (the terminate() function) safe to execute at
any interruption moment. This fixes a race in
5807f35c541c26bbd91a3ae12506cd8dd8f20688 where SIGINT delivered right
after the check_terminate() but before a blocking syscall would not
cause abort.

Do it by setting the in_io flag around potentially blocking io syscalls.
If handler sees the flag, it terminates the program. Otherwise,
termination is delegated to the before_io/after_io fences.

# 5807f35c 05-May-2023 Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org>

dd: Fix SIGINT handling.

Currently, we handle SIGINT by calling summary() and _exit() directly from the signal handler, which we install after setup(). There are several issues with this:

* summary() is not signal safe;
* the parent is not informed about the signal;
* setup() can block on open(), and catching SIGINT at that stage will produce the correct exit status but will not print anything to stderr as POSIX demands.

Fix this by making SIGINT non-restartable, changing our signal handler to only set a flag, installing it before setup(), and checking the termination flag before and after every blocking operation, i.e. open(), read(), write().

Also add two test cases, one for catching SIGINT while opening the input and one for catching it while reading. I couldn't think of an easy way to test catching SIGINT while writing (it's certainly feasible, but perhaps not from a shell script).

Add conv=fdatasync flag to dd

The fdatasync flag performs an fdatasync(2) on the output file before closing it.
This will be useful for the ZFS test suite.

dd: add status=progress support

This reports the current status on a single line every second, mirroring
similar functionality in GNU dd, and carefully interacts with SIGINFO.

General further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Implement GNU's extension of 'status' operand. The GNU syntax is
borrowed where syntax status=noxfer means no transfer statistics
and status=none means no status information at all.

This feature is useful because the statistics information can
sometimes be annoying, and redirecting stderr to /dev/null would
mean error messages also gets silenced.

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

Add a "fillchar" command line argument to dd(1) that permits the user
to specify an alternative padding character when using a conversion
mode, or when using noerror with sync and an input error occurs. This
facilities reading old and error-prone media by allowing the user to
more effectively mark error blocks in the output stream.

# 58687472 12-Sep-1999 Brian Feldman <green@FreeBSD.org>

Even more cleanups to dd(1). This is probably the culmination of the
BDEification process of dd(1). Most of the changes are from BDE's archive.
Support for negative offsets is gone again, but the case where you
lseek() onto byte -1 of something from a negative offset using seek/skip
is fixed; if you end up on -1, you won't get a false positive lseek failure.
The biggest changes are to data types (more size_t, for instance) and
argument parsing. skip/seek on /dev/{,k}mem now occurs (instead of "read
until you reach the offset") due to mem devices now being D_DISK. Some
const things are now correctly declared as such, and the "case table"
building is better. The only thing that seems to be left to make dd(1)
everything TOG wants it to be is l10n.
