invarg(a,b) - "invalid argument", but how a and b enter the message?
invarg_1_to_2(a,b) is somewhat easier to read: "invalid argument 'a' to 'b'"
Audit of usage revealed a number of bad uses, with too long messages.

In the initial submission struct bbunit_listelem was manipulated by
custom list functions implemented in bbunit.c. Since the tests are now
added to the list by llist_add_to_end(), which allocates the llist_t
objects behind the scenes, there's no need for the *next field.

Linux recently gained a new config option, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes
support for non-root users optional. This results in a number of syscalls
being disabled: setuid, setregid, setgid, setreuid, setresuid, getresuid,
setresgid, getresgid, setgroups, getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget,
capset.
Currently a number of busybox applets, including login, struggle to run
when CONFIG_MULTIUSER is disabled. Even the root user is unable to login:
login: can't set groups: Functi
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.

UTMP is SVID legacy, UTMPX is mandated by POSIX.
Glibc and uClibc have identical layout of UTMP and UTMPX, both of these
libc treat _PATH_UTMPX as _PATH_UTMP so from a user-perspective nothing
changes except the names of the API entrypoints.

loopinfo.lo_file_name is not enough to uniquely identify a file on a system with
multiple mount namespaces. We could conceivably change this to dedup on
(lo_rdevice, lo_inode), but, as the comment above the deleted code notes, this
whole approach of reusing devices is racy anyway, so it seems better to stop
doing it entirely.

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

sendfile:

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.
