Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Using a negative pid to send TERM to a process group results in an
obscure error:
$ ./busybox kill -12345
kill: bad signal name '12345'
This is intended. Manpage says:
ARGUMENTS
pid Each pid can be one of four things:
...
-n where n is larger than 1. All processes in process group
n are signaled. When an argument of the form '-n' is
given, and it is meant to denote a process group, either
a signal must be specified first, or the argument must be
preceded by a '--' option, otherwise it will be taken as
the signal to send.
However, we did not support "--". Add this capability to BusyBox.

* Fix a bug with a configuration in which the shell's kill builtin
would be mistreated as a killall command (i.e. '-q' works, and
'kill process_name' succeeds when it shouldn't):
CONFIG_ASH_JOB_CONTROL=y
CONFIG_HUSH_KILL=y
# CONFIG_KILL is not set
CONFIG_KILLALL=y
# CONFIG_KILLALL5 is not set
* Optimize out unneeded code when the relevant applets are not
selected.
* Move kbuild lines about shells' kill builtins from Kbuild.src to
kill.c, to accompany the new HAVE_SH_KILL macro. I hope this would
make maintanence a little bit easier.

only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).
