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 $FreeBSD$: one-line .h pattern

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.


# fbbd9655 28-Feb-2017 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

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.

# 8ef0ae8a 11-Oct-2015 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Make struct arglist an array instead of a linked list.

This simplifies the code (e.g. allowing use of qsort(3) instead of a
hand-rolled mergesort) and should have better cache properties.

The waste of unused args arrays after resizes is approximately the same as
the savings from getting rid of the next pointers.

At the same time, remove a piece of global state and move some duplicated
code into a function.


# 58bdb076 03-Mar-2015 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Fix more compiler warnings related to variable declarations.


# 8191e237 25-Dec-2013 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Simplify code related to PPID variable.


# caf29fab 04-Feb-2012 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Use vfork in a few common cases.

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.


# 454a02b3 13-Jun-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Fix duplicate prototypes for builtins.

Have mkbuiltins write the prototypes for the *cmd functions to builtins.h
instead of builtins.c and include builtins.h in more .c files instead of
duplicating prototypes for *cmd functions in other headers.


# c543e1ae 12-Jun-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Save/restore changed variables in optimized command substitution.

In optimized command substitution, save and restore any variables changed by
expansions (${var=value} and $((var=assigned))), instead of trying to
determine if an expansion may cause such changes.

If $! is referenced in optimized command substitution, do not cause jobs to
be remembered longer.

This fixes $(jobs $!) again, simplifies the man page and shortens the code.


# 07eb7033 08-May-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Add \u/\U support (in $'...') for UTF-8.

Because we have no iconv in base, support for other charsets is not
possible.

Note that \u/\U are processed using the locale that was active when the
shell started. This is necessary to avoid behaviour that depends on the
parse/execute split (for example when placing braces around an entire
script). Therefore, UTF-8 encoding is implemented manually.


# 3a99ed46 08-May-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Optimize variable code by storing the length of the name.

Obtained from: NetBSD


# 6ed74a0a 06-May-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Track if the current locale's charset is UTF-8 or not.


# 850460c0 01-Jan-2011 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Check readonly status for assignments on regular builtins.

An error message is written, the builtin is not executed, nonzero exit
status is returned but the shell does not abort.

This was already checked for special builtins and external commands, with
the same consequences except that the shell aborts for special builtins.

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

sh: Pass TERM changes to libedit.

I have changed the patch slightly to ignore TERM changes in subshells.

# e4b50334 05-May-2010 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org>

sh: Apply locale vars on builtins, recognize LC_MESSAGES as a locale var.

This allows doing things like LC_ALL=C some_builtin to run a builtin under a
different locale, just like is possible with external programs. The
immediate reason is that this allows making printf(1) a builtin without
breaking things like LC_NUMERIC=C printf '%f\n' 1.2

This change also affects special builtins, as even though the assignment is
persistent, the export is only to the builtin (unless the variable was
already exported).

Note: for this to work for builtins that also exist as external programs
such as /bin/test, the setlocale() call must be under #ifndef SHELL. The
shell will do the setlocale() calls which may not agree with the environment
variables.


# 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.


# d7f03759 19-Oct-2008 Ulf Lilleengen <lulf@FreeBSD.org>

- Import the HEAD csup code which is the basis for the cvsmode work.


# 120c8e6c 15-Jun-2006 Stefan Farfeleder <stefanf@FreeBSD.org>

Implement the PS4 variable which is defined by the POSIX User Portability
Utilities option. Its value is printed at the beginning of the line if tracing
(-x) is active. PS4 defaults to the string "+ " which is compatible with the
old behaviour to always print "+ ".

We still need to expand variables in PS1, PS2 and PS4.

Remove bits and pieces of support for atty, which was made obsolete by
adding history and vi/emacs-style line editing to the shell itself.
Atty was a user-mode terminal emulator (like screen and window) that did
line editing and history.

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>

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 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..

(Note, this is mostly going to be conflicts, which is expected. Our entire
sh source has a mainline, so this should not change anything except for
a few new files appearing. I dont think they are a problem)
