Some users build FreeBSD as non-root in Perforce workspaces. By default,
Perforce sets files read-only unless they're explicitly being edited.
As a result, the -f argument must be used to cp in order to override the
read-only flag when copying source files to object directories. Bare use of
'cp' should be avoided in the future.
Update all current users of 'cp' in the src tree.

EXP_REDIR was supposed to generate pathnames in redirection if exactly one
file matches, as permitted but not required by POSIX in interactive mode. It
is unlikely this will be implemented.
No functional change is intended.

Commands like 'export -p', 'set' and 'trap', and tracing enabled via 'set
-x' generate output suitable as shell input by adding quotes as necessary.
If there are control characters other than newline or invalid UTF-8
sequences, use $'...' and \OOO to display them safely.
The resulting output is not parsable by a strict POSIX.1-2008 shell but sh
from FreeBSD 9.0 and newer and many other shells can parse it.
feature is to quisce the system before suspend.
Stop is implemented by reusing the thread_single(9) with the special
mode SINGLE_ALLPROC. SINGLE_ALLPROC differs from the existing
single-threading modes by allowing (requiring) caller to operate on
other process. Interruptible sleeps for !TDF_SBDRY threads are
suspended like SIGSTOP does it, instead of aborting the sleep, like
SINGLE_NO_EXIT, to avoid spurious EINTRs on resume.
Provide debugging sysctl debug.stop_all_proc, which causes total stop
and suspends syncer, while waiting for variable reset for resume. It
is used for debugging; should be removed after the real use of the
interface is added.

Per Austin Group issue #459, shifting zero positional parameters may or may
not be considered an operand error (which causes the shell to exit in most
cases).
EXP_REDIR was not being checked for while expanding positional parameters in
redirection, so CTL* bytes were not being prefixed where they should be.

dd(1) casts many of its numeric arguments from uintmax_t to intmax_t
and back again to detect whether or not the original arguments were
negative. This caused wrong behaviour in some boundary cases:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=18446744073709551615
dd: count cannot be negative
After the fix:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=18446744073709551615
dd: count: Result too large

POSIX does not permit to continuing a getopts loop with different
arguments. For parsing the positional parameters, we handle this case by
resetting the getopts state when the positional parameters are changed in
any way (and the getopts state is local to a function). However, in the
syntax getopts <optstring> <var> <arg...>, changes could lead to invalid
memory access.
In the syntax getopts <optstring> <var> <arg...>, store a copy of the
arguments and continue to use them until getopts is reset.
- use daemon(8) to write out a pid file for processes,
and check for for the existence of that file after
killing processes
- use explict named parameters to jail(8)
Makefiles should not assume that source files can be overwritten. This is the
common case for Perforce source trees.
This is a followup commit to r211243 in the same vein.

1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.

These paths have had to be adjusted to changes in the testsuite runner
several times, so modify the tests to remove the need for such adjustment.
A cp in functional_test.sh is now unneeded, but this matters little in
performance.
In C, shift distances equal to or larger than the number of bits in the
operand result in undefined behaviour. As part of eliminating undefined
behaviour in arithmetic, mask off the distance like Java and JavaScript
specify and C on x86 usually does.
Assumption: conversion from unsigned to signed retains the two's complement
bits.
Assumption: uintmax_t has no padding bits.
Even though jail is part of the base system, it can be disabled by src.conf
settings. Therefore, it should be listed as a required program for tests
that use it.
