bin: Remove ancient SCCS tags.

Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

Remove /^\s*\*+\s*\$FreeBSD\$.*$\n/


# 8a16b7a1 20-Nov-2017 Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org>

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.

wordexp: Rewrite to make WRDE_NOCMD reliable.

Shell syntax is too complicated to detect command substitution and unquoted
operators reliably without implementing much of sh's parser. Therefore, have
sh do this detection.

While changing sh's support anyway, also read input from a pipe instead of
arguments to avoid {ARG_MAX} limits and improve privacy, and output count
and length using 16 instead of 8 digits.

The basic concept is:
execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "freebsd_wordexp ${1:+\"$1\"} -f "$2",
"", flags & WRDE_NOCMD ? "-p" : "", <pipe with words>);

The WRDE_BADCHAR error is still implemented in libc. POSIX requires us to
fail strings containing unquoted braces with code WRDE_BADCHAR. Since this
is normally not a syntax error in sh, there is still a need for checking
code in libc, we_check().

The new we_check() is an optimistic check that all the characters
<newline> | & ; < > ( ) { }
are quoted. To avoid duplicating too much sh logic, such characters are
permitted when quoting characters are seen, even if the quoting characters
may themselves be quoted. This code reports all WRDE_BADCHAR errors; bad
characters that get past it and are a syntax error in sh return WRDE_SYNTAX.

Although many implementations of WRDE_NOCMD erroneously allow some command
substitutions (and ours even documented this), there appears to be code that
relies on its security (codesearch.debian.net shows quite a few uses).
Passing untrusted data to wordexp() still exposes a denial of service
possibility and a fairly large attack surface.

# 48f49aac 26-Jan-2014 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Allow aliases to force alias substitution on the following word.

If an alias's value ends with a space or tab, the next word is also
checked for aliases.

This is a POSIX feature. It is useful with utilities like command and
nohup (alias them to themselves followed by a space).


# f52924b4 30-Aug-2013 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Cast -1 to pointer rather than pointer to variable of wrong type.

NEOF needs to be a non-null pointer distinct from valid union node pointers.
It is not dereferenced.

The new NEOF is much like SIG_ERR except that it is an object pointer
instead of a function pointer.

The variable tokpushback can now be static.


# 9bb8ccd6 16-Aug-2013 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Remove unnecessary reset functions.

These are already handled by exception handlers.


# 338b821b 25-Jul-2013 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Remove mkinit.

Replace the RESET blocks with regular functions and a reset() function that
calls them all.

This code generation tool is unusual and does not appear to provide much
benefit. I do not think isolating the knowledge about which modules need to
be reset is worth an almost 500-line build tool and wider scope for
variables used by the reset functions.

Also, relying on reset functions is often wrong: the cleanup should be done
in exception handlers so that no stale state remains after 'command eval'
and the like.


# 46c6b52d 01-Apr-2013 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Fix various compiler warnings.

It now passes WARNS=7 with clang on i386.

GCC 4.2.1 does not understand setjmp() properly so will always trigger
-Wuninitialized. I will not add the volatile keywords to suppress this.


# eb64a913 07-Feb-2013 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Fix a comment.


# 292e6676 09-Jun-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Do parameter expansion before printing PS4 (set -x).

The function name expandstr() and the general idea of doing this kind of
expansion by treating the text as a here document without end marker is from
dash.

All variants of parameter expansion and arithmetic expansion also work (the
latter is not required by POSIX but it does not take extra code and many
other shells also allow it).

Command substitution is prevented because I think it causes too much code to
be re-entered (for example creating an unbounded recursion of trace lines).

Unfortunately, our LINENO is somewhat crude, otherwise PS4='$LINENO+ ' would
be quite useful.


# 05a447d0 21-May-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Expand aliases after assignments and redirections.


# c76aed95 06-May-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Change the CTL* bytes to ones invalid in UTF-8.

This ensures that mbrtowc(3) can be used directly once it has been verified
that there is no CTL* byte. Dealing with a CTLESC byte within a multibyte
character would be complicated.

The new values do occur in iso-8859-* encodings. This decreases efficiency
slightly but should not affect correctness.

Caveat: Updating across this change and rebuilding without cleaning may
yield a subtly broken sh binary. By default, make buildworld will clean and
avoid problems.


# 048f2667 29-Oct-2010 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Do IFS splitting on word in ${v+word} and ${v-word}.

The code is inspired by NetBSD sh somewhat, but different because we
preserve the old Almquist/Bourne/Korn ability to have an unquoted part in a
quoted ${v+word}. For example, "${v-"*"}" expands to $v as a single field if
v is set, but generates filenames otherwise.

Note that this is the only place where we split text literally from the
script (the similar ${v=word} assigns to v and then expands $v). The parser
must now add additional markers to allow the expansion code to know whether
arbitrary characters in substitutions are quoted.

Example:
for i in ${$+a b c}; do echo $i; done

Exp-run done by: pav (with some other sh(1) changes)


# a7d5f7eb 19-Oct-2010 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org>

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

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.


# 384aedab 27-Dec-2009 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Various warning fixes (from WARNS=6 NO_WERROR=1):
- const
- initializations to silence -Wuninitialized (it was safe anyway)
- remove nested extern declarations
- rename "index" locals to "idx"


# 2cac6e36 24-Dec-2009 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Constify various strings.

Most of this is adding const keywords, but setvar() in var.c had to be
changed somewhat more.

Expand $LINENO to the current line number. This is required by SUSv3's "User
Portability Utilities" option.

Often configure scripts generated by the autotools test if $LINENO works and
refuse to use /bin/sh if not.

# 62addaef 05-Nov-2006 Stefan Farfeleder <stefanf@FreeBSD.org>

When parsing an invalid parameter expansion (eg. ${} or ${foo@bar}) do not
issue a syntax error immediately but save the information that it is erroneous
for later when the parameter expansion is actually done. This means eg. "false
&& ${}" will not generate an error which seems to be required by POSIX.
Include the invalid parameter expansion in the error message (sometimes
abbreviated with ... because recovering it would require a lot of code).

Better handling of word splitting. Don't record the same region
multiple times when performing nested variable expansion, and
preserve some quoting information in order to avoid removing
apparently empty expansion result.


# b97fa2ef 22-Feb-1997 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

# 1130b656 14-Jan-1997 Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

# aa9caaf6 01-Sep-1996 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Merge of 4.4-Lite2 sh source, plus some gcc -Wall cleaning. This is a
merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]

There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.

This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..

a few new files appearing. I dont think they are a problem)
