This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

remove the now-redundant checks for RELEASE_CRUNCH. This originally
was defined for building smaller sysinstall images, but was later also
used by picobsd builds for a similar purpose. Now that we've moved
away from sysinstall, picobsd is the only remaining consumer of this
interface. Adding these two options reduces the RELEASE_CRUNCH
special cases in the tree by half.
When getopts finds an invalid option or a missing option-argument, it should
not reset its state and should set OPTIND as normal. This is an old ash bug
that was fixed long ago in dash. Our behaviour now matches most other
shells.
* Don't use sysexits.h. Just exit 1 on error and 0 otherwise.
* Don't sacrifice precision by converting the output of clock_gettime() to a
double and then comparing the results. Instead, subtract the values of
the two clock_gettime() calls, then convert to double.
* Don't use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE. It's an unportable synonym for
CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
* Use more appropriate names for some local variables.
* In the summary message, round elapsed time to the nearest microsecond.

conv=sparse.
This change fixes two separate issues observed when the last output
block is all zeroes, and conv=sparse is in use. In this case, care
must be taken to roll back the last seek and write the entire last zero
block at the original offset where it should have occurred: when the
destination file is a block device, it is not possible to roll back
by just one character as the write would then not be properly aligned.
Furthermore, the buffer used to write this last all-zeroes block
needs to be properly zeroed-out. This was not the case previously,
resulting in a junk data byte appearing instead of a zero in the
output stream.

gettimeofday returns the system clock, which may jump forward or back,
especially if NTP is in use. If the time jumps backwards, then dd will see
negative elapsed time, round it up to 1usec, and print an absurdly fast
transfer rate.
The solution is to use clock_gettime(2) with CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE as the
clock_id. That clock advances steadily, regardless of changes to the system
clock.

As stated in the man page, this is equivalent to use "%a, %d %b %Y %T %z"
as the output format while LC_TIME is set to the "C" locale.
This is compatible with date(1) from the GNU core utilities.
From the original OpenBSD commit message:
restore the traditional behavior of -f implying -a; apparently Keith
Bostic forgot to restore it when the -f flag was put back on 2nd of
September 1989, after being removed on 16th of August as a
consequence of issues getting it working over NFS, so deviation from
traditional UNIX behavior in all BSDs looks like an historical
accident; as a side effect, this change accommodates behavior of
this option to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').

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.

all the SUBDIR entries in parallel, instead of serially. Apply this
option to a selected number of Makefiles, which can greatly speed up the
build on multi-core machines, when using make -j.
This can be extended to more Makefiles later on, whenever they are
verified to work correctly with parallel building.
I tested this on a 24-core machine, with make -j48 buildworld (N = 6):
before stddev after stddev
======= ====== ======= ======
real time 1741.1 16.5 959.8 2.7
user time 12468.7 16.4 14393.0 16.8
sys time 1825.0 54.8 2110.6 22.8
(user+sys)/real 8.2 17.1
E.g. the build was approximately 45% faster in real time. On machines
with less cores, or with lower -j settings, the speedup will not be as
impressive. But at least you can now almost max out a machine with
buildworld!

Only store exit status for a process if that process has not terminated yet.
Test (slow):
exit 7 & p1=$!; until exit 8 & p2=$!; [ "$p1" = "$p2" ]; do wait "$p2";
done; sleep 0.1; wait %1; echo $?
should write "7".
Interestingly, the pkill tool lives in bin, not usr.bin. Haven't bothered
to check if this is because the tool moved or because the tests were
originally added in the wrong place.
When killing a %job started without job control, kill all processes in it.
As with process groups and zombies, if any process in the job can be killed
or has already terminated, the command is successful.
This also fixes occasional failures of the builtins/kill1.0 test.
Change {atf,plain,tap}.test.mk to be internal implementation details of
bsd.test.mk. Makefiles that build tests should now only include bsd.test.mk
and declaratively specify what they want to build, without worrying about
the internal implementation of the mk files.
The reason for this change is to permit building test programs of different
interfaces from a single directory, which is something I had a need for
while porting tests over from src/tools/regression/.
Additionally, this change makes it possible to perform some other requested
changes to bsd.test.mk in an easier manner. Coming soon.
If a job has terminated but is still known, silently do nothing when using
the kill builtin with the job specifier. Formerly, the shell called kill()
with the process group ID that might have been reused.
Redo expari() like evalvar(). This makes the logic more understandable and
avoids possible problems if arithmetic expansion occurs if CTLESC characters
are not generated (looking backwards for CTLARI is not generally possible in
that case but the old code tried anyway).
This adds an extra argstr() recursion.
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).
