Use variable and shorter logic for NFS check

No need to hardcode a parent path if we can reuse an existing variable for
the specific path that is in being used.

Negate the file system type in df(1)

Use variable and shorter logic for NFS check

No need to hardcode a parent path if we can reuse an existing variable for
the specific path that is in being used.

Negate the file system type in df(1) so the `|| exit 1' can be dropped
in favour of the errexit option, as is done for everything else in there.

Clarify the comment how this is intentionally NOT logged, i.e. the test
happens before the error trap/syslog/logfile handling.

Set up logger(1) traps earlier to catch logfile setup failures

If /usr is mounted read-only, kernel relinking fails silently without any
log trace:

Set up logger(1) traps earlier to catch logfile setup failures

If /usr is mounted read-only, kernel relinking fails silently without any
log trace:

# /usr/libexec/reorder_kernel
/usr/libexec/reorder_kernel[35]: cannot create /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/relink.log: Read-only file system

This stderr line does not show up anywhere because init(8) redirects stdout
and stderr to /dev/null, executes rc(8) which inherits it and thus executes
reorder_kernel with both streams discarded.

So install the error handler first, then try to set up a log file.

Introduce ERRMSG to provide error messages to users, i.e. not say
"see .../relink.log" when creating this file is what failed:

# ksh ./reorder_kernel.sh
./reorder_kernel.sh[40]: cannot create /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/relink.log: Read-only file system
# tail -n1 /var/log/message # or xconsole(1)

If $KERNEL_DIR.tgz exists, reorder_kernel updates the destination for
logged stdout output, but forgot to handle stderr. Fix that so that
the error log includes stderr output in that case (otherwise the log
is usually empty). From Lauri Tirkkonen, plus comment adjusted. ok tb

introduce /etc/bsd.re-config which can be used to configure the kernel
using config(8);

the contents of this configuration file will be fed to config(8) after
kernel relinking is done, so on the next boot the new kernel will have
all the configuration changes set by the user

this comes handy if you still want to use KARL while making changes
to the GENERIC kernel

Add where missing and harmonize PATH to be _PATH_DEFPATH (without local nor
X11R6).
Suggested by tb@

ok deraadt@ tb@ millert@

shorten the failure message, it should not wrap a line.

after installing new kernel, do a sync(8) to encourage lazy buffers to
make it to disk (discussion with tedu)

Simplify NFS check

Instead of getting all filesystems with df(1), filter /usr/share/ and check
with mount(1) whether it's NFS, make df error out directly if the
filesystem type matches nfs.

It's a standalone script now, so explicitly set a sane PATH.

Fix detection whether /usr/share is on a nfs mounted filesystem.

Move the kernel relinking code from /etc/rc into a seperate script
/usr/libexec/reorder_kernel. Requested by ajacoutot@ to be able to
relink the kernel from within syspatch(8).
