FEATURE_GETOPT_LONG made dependent on LONG_OPTS.
The folloving options are removed, now LONG_OPTS enables long options
for affected applets:
FEATURE_ENV_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_EXPAND_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_UNEXPAND_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_MKDIR_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_MV_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_RMDIR_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_ADDGROUP_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_ADDUSER_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_HWCLOCK_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_NSENTER_LONG_OPTS
FEATURE_CHCON_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_RUNCON_LONG_OPTIONS
They either had a small number of long options, or their long options are
essential.
Example: upstream addgroup and adduser have ONLY longopts,
we should probably go further and get rid
of non-standard short options.
To this end, make addgroup and adduser "select LONG_OPTS".
We had this breakage caused by us even in our own package!
#if ENABLE_LONG_OPTS || !ENABLE_ADDGROUP
/* We try to use --gid, not -g, because "standard" addgroup
* has no short option -g, it has only long --gid.
*/
argv[1] = (char*)"--gid";
#else
/* Breaks if system in fact does NOT use busybox addgroup */
argv[1] = (char*)"-g";
#endif
xargs: its lone longopt no longer depends on DESKTOP, only on LONG_OPTS.
hwclock TODO: get rid of incompatible -t, -l aliases to --systz, --localtime
Shorten help texts by omitting long option when short opt alternative exists.
Reduction of size comes from the fact that store of an immediate
(an address of longopts) to a fixed address (global variable)
is a longer insn than pushing that immediate or passing it in a register.
This effect is CPU-agnostic.

Based on a patch from Steven McDonald <steven@steven-mcdonald.id.au>:
This makes 'unshare --user' work correctly in the case where the user's
shell is provided by busybox itself.
'unshare --user' creates a new user namespace without any uid mappings.
As a result, /bin/busybox is setuid nobody:nogroup within the
namespace, as that is the only user. However, since no uids are mapped,
attempting to call setgid/setuid fails, even though this would do
nothing:
$ unshare --user ./busybox.broken ash
ash: setgid: Invalid argument
'unshare --map-root-user' still works, but because Linux only allows
uid/gid mappings to be set up once, creating a root mapping makes such
a namespace useless for creating multi-user containers.
With this patch, setgid and setuid will not be called in the case where
they would do nothing, which is always the case inside a new user
namespace because all uids are effectively mapped to nobody:
$ id -u
1000
$ ls -lh busybox.fixed
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 826.2K May 21 00:33 busybox.fixed
$ unshare --user ./busybox.fixed ash

The "autolooped" mount (mount [-oloop] IMAGE /DIR/DIR)
always creates AUTOCLEARed loopdevs, so that umounting
drops them (and this does not require any code in the
umount userspace).
This happens since circa linux-2.6.25:
commit 96c5865559cee0f9cbc5173f3c949f6ce3525581
Date: Wed Feb 6 01:36:27 2008 -0800
Subject: Allow auto-destruction of loop devices
IOW: in this case, umount does not have to use -d
to drop the loopdev.
The explicit loop mount (mount /dev/loopN /DIR/DIR)
does not do this. In this case, umount without -d
should not drop loopdev.
Unfortunately, bbox umount currently always implies -d,
this probably needs fixing.

These key combinations should repeat correctly when the keys are
pressed and held.
Before this change, they do this erratically - many repeats are "eaten"
because they are treated as unrecognized ESC seqs:
ESC 0x7f is treated by Alt+baskspace, but ESC 0x7f ESC 0x7f ESC 0x7f
is unrecognized.
Escape sequences corresponding to these key combinations are moved from
read_line_input to lineedit_read_key.
Also, these key sequences are now enabled regardless of whether
FEATURE_EDITING_VI is set, since Vim does not actually support these key
combinations, but they are present in readline library.

Run this in a "sh SCRIPT":
sha256sum /dev/null
echo END
sha256sum is a NOEXEC applet. It runs in a forked child. Then child exit()s.
By this time, entire script is read, and buffered in a FILE object
from fopen("SCRIPT"). But fgetc() did not consume entire input.
exit() lseeks back by -9 bytes, from <eof> to 'e' in 'echo'.
(this may be libc-specific).
This change of fd position *is shared with the parent*!
Now parent can read more, and it thinks there is another "echo END".
End result: two "echo END"s are run.
Fix this by _exit()ing instead.

The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet. It encodes
nofork/noexec flags
suid flags
the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string
Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid). Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.
This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.
According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number
of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:
KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)

4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130

This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.
v2:
Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.
v3:
Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
well as the last applet found.
v4:
Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.
v5:
Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.

This patch adds code to make change_identity() a nop on single user
systems. It works by recognising the signature errno value (ENOSYS, due
to the system calls being disabled) and, to avoid security risks, only
deploys when the current uid and target uid is the same.
After the patch is applied any attempt to switch to a non-root user will
fail. Thus a badly configured userspace (for example, one that tries to
start a daemon as a non-root user when the kernel cannot support this)
will report errors as one would expect.

Busybox already uses sendfile in httpd. This patch proposes to use it
globally to copy data between file descriptors.
It speeds up the copying on slow systems a lot - below are the times needed
to copy a 450Mb file with and without this option enabled on a BeagleBone
Black:
sendfile:
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m8.170s
read/write 4k:
user 0m0.470s
sys 0m16.300s
function old new delta
bb_full_fd_action 394 474 +80

Sometimes ARG_MAX is small (like 32k) yet sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)
is big, and people prefer using the bigger value.
OTOH, with sufficiently large ARG_MAX, further wins from
sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) being bigger are exponentially smaller:
you can see 4 times fewer fork+execs when you run find, but
when each execed process already takes a thousand parameters
it's likely execution time is dominated by what that process
does with each parameter.
Thus, with this change ARG_MAX is used if it's sufficiently big,
otherwise sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is used.

This makes "G" (goto end of input) command work as well as
/search_for_nonexistent_string: both will read to EOF now
even from somewhat slow input (such as kernel's "git log").

It is not clear why we were excluding init from this.
The "getpid() != 1" clause was there from the beginning (2001)
but not explained.

It is an interesting trick, but so far I only managed to make it work
correctly, not to make it faster and/or smaller.
The code is ifdefed out for now.

The find utility uses a hardcoded value of 32 * 1024 as the limit of
the command-line length when calling 'find -exec ... {} +'. This results
in over 4 times more execve() calls than in coreutils' find.
This patch uses the limit defined in system headers.
