The loop
for (j = ARRAY_SIZE(applet_nameofs)-1; j >= 0; j--) {
was intended to terminate when j goes negative, so j needs to be signed.

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)
0 9057 -
2 4604 32
4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130
32 884 194
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.
v6:

In standalone shell mode search the applet table as well as PATH
when tab completing a command.
Use a stupid linear search: we're also about to read all the
directories on PATH so efficiency isn't a big concern.

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

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.
