yes(1) may be used to generate repeating patterns of text
for test inputs etc., so adjust to be more efficient.
Profiling the case where yes(1) is outputting small items
through stdio (which was the default case), shows the overhead
of continuously processing small items in main() and in stdio:
$ yes >/dev/null & perf top -p $!
31.02% yes [.] main
27.36% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_file_xsputn@@GLIBC_2.2.5
14.51% libc-2.20.so [.] fputs_unlocked
13.50% libc-2.20.so [.] strlen
10.66% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___mempcpy
1.98% yes [.] fputs_unlocked@plta
Sending more data per stdio call improves the situation,
but still, there is significant stdio overhead due to memory copies,
and the repeated string length checking:
$ yes "`echo {1..1000}`" >/dev/null & perf top -p $!
42.26% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___mempcpy
17.38% libc-2.20.so [.] strlen
5.21% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_lock
4.58% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_unlock
4.27% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_file_xsputn@@GLIBC_2.2.5
2.50% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___libc_write
2.45% [kernel] [k] system_call
2.40% [kernel] [k] system_call_after_swapgs
2.27% [kernel] [k] vfs_write

2.01% [kernel] [k] fsnotify
1.95% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_file_write@@GLIBC_2.2.5
1.44% yes [.] main
We can avoid all stdio overhead by building up the buffer
_once_ and outputting that, and the profile below shows
the bottleneck moved to the kernel:
$ src/yes >/dev/null & perf top -p $!
15.42% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_lock
12.98% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_unlock

8.35% [kernel] [k] fsnotify

5.84% [kernel] [k] system_call_after_swapgs
4.54% [kernel] [k] __fget_light

2.13% [kernel] [k] sysret_check
0.81% [kernel] [k] write_null
0.36% yes [.] write@plt
Note this change also ensures that yes(1) will only write
complete lines for lines shorter than BUFSIZ.
* src/yes.c (main): Build up a BUFSIZ buffer of lines,
and output that, rather than having stdio process each item.
* tests/misc/yes.sh: Add a new test for various buffer sizes.

In certain parallel build situations this would give the error:
help2man: can't get `--help' info from man/test.td/[
Makefile:14189: recipe for target 'man/test.1' failed
* man/local.mk (test.1): Depend on `[` rather than `test`,
as `test --help` outputs nothing. Also move dir.1 and vdir.1
back to the main list, as they're no more exceptions than
sha1sum etc.

With "umask 0027" or even "umask 0077", the git clone of coreutils
does not have the executable bit set for 'other' (or 'group).
Therefore, "make syntax-check" would fail.

to only print the names of the files which are not executable by the
user, rather than insisting on ugo+x (octal 111).

Adjust commit v8.23-140-gfdd6ebf to add the --output-error option
instead of --write-error, and treat open() errors like write() errors.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): s/write-error/output-error/.
* src/tee.c (main): Exit on open() error if appropriate.
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Add a case to test open() errors.
* NEWS: Adjust for the more general output error behavior.

Note that IBRIX used to have a different magic number 0x013111A7
instead of the current 0x013111A8. However, the former is no longer
used and the version of IBRIX it was used in is really ancient, so
it's extremely unlikely anyone is still using it. Therefore, just
add the newer magic number.
Mark IBRIX as a 'remote' file system type as inotify support had
never been officially tested with it.
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add file system ID definition.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

tee is very often used with pipes and this gives better control
when writing to them. There are 3 classes of file descriptors
that tee can write to: files(1), pipes(2), and early close pipes(3).
Handling write errors to 1 & 2 is supported at present with the caveat
that failure writing to any pipe will terminate tee immediately.
Handling write errors to type 3 is not currently supported.
To improve the supported combinations we add these options:
--write-error=warn
Warn if error writing any output including pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any output had error.
--write-error=warn-nopipe, -p
Warn if error writing any output except pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any non pipe output had error.
--write-error=exit
Exit if error writing any output including pipes.
--write-error=exit-nopipe
Exit if error writing any output except pipes.
Use the "nopipe" variants when files are of types 1 and 3, otherwise
use the standard variants with types 1 and 2. A caveat with the above
scheme is that a combination of pipe types (2 & 3) is not supported
robustly. I.e. if you use the "nopipe" variants when using both type
2 and 3 pipes, then any "real" errors on type 2 pipes will not be
diagnosed.
Note also a general issue with type 3 pipes that are not on tee's
stdout, is that shell constructs don't allow to distinguish early
close from real failures. For example `tee >(head -n1) | grep -m1 ..`
can't distinguish between an error or an early close in "head" pipe,
while the fail on the grep part of the pipe is distinguished
independently from the resulting pipe errors. This is a general
issue with the >() construct, rather than with tee itself.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Describe the new option.
* src/tee.c (usage): Likewise.
(main): With --write-error ignore SIGPIPE, and handle
the various exit, diagnostics combinations.
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Tess all the new options.

This is a cleanup to the previous commit v8.23-138-g7ceaf1d.
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Do not exempt the "-" file from being closed,
as this is no longer stdout but a normal file.
|
|
Since v5.2.1-1247-g8dafbe5, tee(1) treated '-' as stdout while POSIX
explicitly requires to treat this as a file name. Revert this change,
as the interleaved output - due to sending another copy of input to
stdout - is not considered to be useful. Discussed in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2015-02/msg00085.html
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Remove the special handling for "-" operands.
(usage): Remove the corresponding sentence.
* doc/coreutils.texi (common options): Remove the "tee -" example.
(tee invocation): Document that tee(1) now treats "-" as a file name.
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Add a test case for "tee -".
While at it, re-indent the above multi-argument processing case and
extend that to 13 operands, as POSIX mandates that, too.
* tests/misc/tee-dash.sh: Remove now-obsolete test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Remove the above test.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the change.
|
|
* src/tee.c (main): Don't continue reading if we can't
output anywhere.
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Ensure we exit when no more outputs.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
|
|
* tests/init.sh (returns_): Disable tracing for this wrapper
function, so that stderr of the wrapped command is unchanged,
allowing for verification of the contents.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_strncmp): Improve the search pattern: use
_sc_search_regexp to find all invocations of strncmp except when
used on a macro definition line; just match the function name with
an opening parenthesis. Before, the expression missed places where
the comparison against 0 was in a subsequent line.
* src/system.h (STRNCMP_LIT): Shorten 'literal' to 'lit' to move
the whole definition of the macro into one line - thus making
sc_prohibit_strncmp pass.
(STRPREFIX): Add space before parenthesis.
* src/du.c (main): Prefer STREQ_LEN over strncmp.
* src/pinky.c (scan_entries): Likewise.
* src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.
* src/who.c (scan_entries): Likewise.

This setting is unusual on BSD as it's read normally in the local
flags returned by tcgetattr(), but can only be set with an ioctl.
Setting with tcsetattr() is ignored.
* src/stty.c (NO_SETATTR): A new flag to indicate the setting
is read and displayed like a normal termios flag, but is set
in some other manner.
(main): Skip tcsetattr() for this setting when this flag is set.
Also fixup the exiting 'extproc' processing to handle the
'-extproc' case correctly.
(sane_mode): Skip setting '-extproc' for 'sane' to avoid the error.
This isn't ideal but matches the operation of the BSD native stty.
|
|
* .mailmap (jeff.liu@oracle.com): There are 3 different names in the
'git log' output for this email address; choose "Jeff Liu" as canonical
form.
(Алексей Шилин): Convert name to latin1 ("Aleksej Shilin")
to improve the sort order of the generated 'THANKS' file.
|
|
At least 'sort' on openSUSE/Fedora have a bug in the case-folding code
of their I18N downstream patch which leads to wrong sort results,
e.g. "Dániel" coming after "Dylan".
* Makefile.am (THANKS): Sort the final contributor list using our
own sort implementation - as others may result in a different order;
add a FIXME comment to remove this again once common platforms have
a functional 'sort -f'. Add '-k1,1' for a better sort order.
While at it, save a grep and perl call to prepare the list from
'THANKS.in' by doing all in the first perl call.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): diff files are now completely excluded,
so no need to filter portions of them.
Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
|
|
This includes a change to require --with-libmount
to be used with configure, due to the many libmount dependencies.
* bootstrap: Sync with gnulib to exit early on gnulib-tool error.
* gl/lib/tempname.c.diff: Adjust for gnulib changes.
* gl/lib/tempname.h.diff: Likewise.
* gl/modules/tempname: Likewise.
* doc/.gitignore: Add new gendocs_template_min gnulib script.
|
|
* cfg.mk: Add .diff files to the exclusion expression
for sc_long_lines, since the gnulib code might be >= 80 chars.
Note 80 char lines trigger due to the added +/- diff marks.
Also normalize the $$ used in the other sc_long_lines exclusion
expressions.
|
|
* src/ls.c (align_nstrftime): Be defensive and validate the tm_mon
index before using to access the abmon array. This was _not_ seen
to be an issue any system. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1190454
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (Random sources): Give an example using openssl,
generating a reproducible arbitrary amount of randomly distributed
data, given a seed value.
|
|
The construct "diff ... || diff=1 || diff=" does not set the variable
in all cases. This could be triggered with:
$ env make diff=1 make sc_dd_O_FLAGS
dd_O_FLAGS
maint.mk: ./src/dd.c has inconsistent O_ flag lists
cfg.mk:59: recipe for target 'sc_dd_O_FLAGS' failed
make: *** [sc_dd_O_FLAGS] Error 1
* cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): Remember $? of the diff command directly
and check its value later rather than using the above mentioned
mapping.
|
|
The previous commit v8.23-124-g7b1ca5f made the above syntax-check rule
fail, because that took the whole content of THANKS.in for comparison.
* cfg.mk (sc_THANKS_in_duplicates): Strip off the header (all before the
first empty line) and the footer (all past the next empty line) from
'THANKS.in' for the check.
|
|
* THANKS.in: Document the preferred sort order as a comment
at the top of the file. Change "Марк Коренберг" to latin1
("Mark Korenberg"). Sort all entries.
* cfg.mk (sc_THANKS_in_sorted): Add rule to ensure that
'THANKS.in' remains sorted.
|
|
* src/tail.c (main): Document another caveat with the
inotify implementation wrt multiple hardlinked files.
|
|
Each user has a maximum number of inotify watches,
so handle the cases where we exhaust these resources.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Ensure we inotify_rm_watch()
the watch for an inode, when replacing with a new watch for a name.
Return all used inotify resources when reverting to polling.
Revert to polling upon first indication of inotify resource exhaustion.
Revert to polling on any inotify resource exhaustion.
Diagnose resource exhaustion correctly in all cases.
Avoid redundant reinsertion in the hash for unchanged watches
(where only attributes of the file are changed).
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Avoid false failure when reverting to polling.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh: New test to check
that we're calling inotify_rm_watch() for replaced files.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* THANKS.in: Thanks for reporting and problem identification.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh (cleanup_fail_): Set fail=1
so that failures are identified. Regression in v8.23-63-g111a2b9
Also use print_ver_ rather than open coding --verbose support.
Also check for more than a single 'b' which seems brittle.

The equivalent of this is 'flush', but that was never documented
as an option (though was output with stty -a). Therefore use
the more descriptive name, also generally used on BSD systems.
Note even though this setting seems ineffective on Linux, supporting
the setting is useful to allow terminal programs to receive

make it more obvious that du may elide specified operands
to avoid double counting in the set.
* src/du.c (usage): Specify that du operates on the set of
operands, rather than each independently.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Likewise. Also state
that the number of entries printed may change due to the
order specified. Currently, deeper items specified earlier
will result in them being displayed, but don't mention that
implementation detail in the documentation.
* THANKS.in: Add reporter.

When some program produces unexpected output, that use of
compare-vs-/dev/null will ensure that the surprising output is
printed in the test's output. With "test -s err" only, one
would have to instrument and rerun in order to see the offending
output.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Exempt 'compare' from this check.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Change "tests -s ... || fail=1" to
"compare /dev/null ... && fail=1".
* tests/misc/nice.sh: Likewise.
* tests/rm/read-only.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Likewise.
* tests/touch/no-dereference.sh: Likewise.

Many tests use `program ... && fail=1` to ensure expected
error situations are indicated. However that would mask
an unexpected exit (like a crash). Therefore explicitly
check the expected exit code.
Note where error messages are also verified, the extra
protection is not added.
* tests/init.sh (returns_): A new helper function to
check the return code of a command, and used
throughout the tests.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Add a syntax check
to avoid new instances of this issue.

* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Provide libmount placeholders,
to avoid skipping the test when libmount is in use.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise.
* tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Comment that the test is moot
when libmount (/proc/self/mountinfo) is being used.
|
|
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Comment why unused variables are assigned.
Fix misspellings noticed while adjusting.
* tests/cp/fiemap-perf.sh: Fix quoting.
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Avoid useless use of cat.
* tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise.
|
|
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Improve the test so it detects
crashes in more cases.
* NEWS: Mention the previous fix.
|
|
* cfg.mk(sc_long_lines): Skip if required wc and sed options
are not supported, which is currently the case on OS X.
