This didn't seem to cause any invalid operation on GNU/Linux at least,
but depending on the implementation, mutex deadlocks could occur.
For example this might be the cause of lockups seen on Solaris:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-03/msg00048.html
This was identified with valgrind 3.9.0 with this setup:
seq 200000 > file.sort
valgrind --tool=drd src/sort file.sort -o file.sort
With that, valgrind would _intermittently_ report the following:
Destroying locked mutex: mutex 0x5419548, recursion count 1, owner 2.
at 0x4C2E3F0: pthread_mutex_destroy(in vgpreload_drd-amd64-linux.so)

by 0x40AA9E: sort (sort.c:3955)
by 0x40C5D9: main (sort.c:4739)
mutex 0x5419548 was first observed at:
at 0x4C2DE82: pthread_mutex_init(in vgpreload_drd-amd64-linux.so)
by 0x409266: init_node (sort.c:3276)

by 0x40AA5A: sort (sort.c:3951)
by 0x40C5D9: main (sort.c:4739)
Thread 2:
The object at address 0x5419548 is not a mutex.

* src/sort.c (sortlines): Move pthread_mutex_destroy() out to
merge_tree_destroy(), so that we don't overlap mutex destruction
with threads still operating on the nodes.
(sort): Call the destructors only with "lint" defined, as the
memory used will be deallocated implicitly at process end.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

Neither issue impacts on the correct operation of sort.
The issues were detected by both valgrind 3.8.1 and 3.9.0 using:
seq 200000 > file.sort
valgrind --tool=drd src/sort file.sort -o file.sort
For tool usage and error details see:
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/drd-manual.html
* src/sort.c (queue_insert): Unlock mutex _after_ signalling the
associated condition variable. Valgrind flags this with:
"Probably a race condition: condition variable 0xffeffffb0 has been
signaled but the associated mutex 0xffeffff88 is not locked by the
signalling thread."
The explanation at the above URL is:
"Sending a signal to a condition variable while no lock is held on
the mutex associated with the condition variable. This is a common
programming error which can cause subtle race conditions and
unpredictable behavior."
This should at least give more defined scheduling behavior.
(merge_tree_destroy): Make symmetrical with merge_tree_init() thus
destroying the correct mutex. Valgrind flags this with:
"The object at address 0x5476cf8 is not a mutex."

* src/df.c (get_disk): Avoid an inconsequential mem leak
spotted by coverity. Also s/duplicities/duplicates/.
|
|
* man/local.mk (man/dynamic-deps.mk): Use the same code to
derive FOO from man/FOO.1 as in the .x.1 rule below.
Using the more concise "name=$${man:4: -2}" is not portable enough.

Add the --enable-single-binary option to the configure file.
When enabled, this option builds a single binary file containing
the selected tools. Which tool gets executed depends on the value
of argv[0] which can be set implicitly through symlinks to the
single program.
This setup reduces significantly the size of a complete coreutils
install, since code from lib/libcoreutils.a is not duplicated in
every one of the more than 100 binaries. Runtime overhead is
increased due to more dynamic libraries being loaded, and extra
initialization being performed for all utils. Also initially
a larger binary is loaded from storage, though this is usually
alleviated due to caching and lazy mmaping of unused blocks,
and in fact the single binary should have better caching
characteristics.
Comparing the size of the individual versus single binary on x86_64:
$ cd src
$ size coreutils
$ size -t $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
text data bss dec hex filename
1097416 5388 88432 1191236 122d44 src/coreutils
4901010 124964 163768 5189742 4f306e (TOTALS)
Storage requirements are reduced similarly:
$ cd src
$ du -h coreutils
$ du -ch $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
1.2M coreutils
5.3M total
When installing, the makefile will create either symlinks or
shebangs based on the --enable-single-binary setting, for
each configured tool. In this way, all the tools are still
callable individually, but they are all implemented by the same
"coreutils" binary installed on the same directory.
* .gitignore: Add new generated files.
* Makefile.am: New rules to generate build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh

Avoid complicated and error-prone parsing of df's output via
sed(1), cut(1), etc., and instead use df's more modern --output
option.
* src/ioblksize.h (in a comment): Simplify the extraction of the
device name of the mounted file system from df's output.
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev.sh: Likewise.
* tests/du/2g.sh: Likewise for the 'avail' column here.
Also avoid the deprecated use of "tail -NUM".
* tests/misc/stat-mount.sh: While at it, remove the determination
of the mount point of "." via df(1) plus sed(1) as it is unused
since commit v8.5-159-gf57cb37 anyway. Instead, improve this test
by verifying that the output of "stat -c%m ." at least starts with
a slash '/'.

Revert commit v8.22-131-g3e89d5b as even though POSIX
states that the default mode should be -L,
common practice for stand-alone pwd implementations
is to default to -P.
* src/pwd.c (usage): Retain mention of the default mode of operation.
Suggested by Bob Proulx

* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode.sh: Quote appropriately
to process mount points with spaces in the path.
Previously items like these would usually be skipped,
though if the path also contained a '-' for example,
that would stat stdin, thus producing a wrong inode
and a false failure.

This works for any program that might also be a shell built-in.
It is more concise. In addition, it makes output more reproducible:
some diagnostics include argv[0], which will now be just the program
name, rather than the full absolute name of the executable.
* tests/misc/sort-compress.sh: Use env kill, rather than absolute name.
* tests/install/trap.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/timeout.sh: Likewise.
* tests/touch/no-dereference.sh: Do the same for two uses of "test".
* tests/touch/no-create-missing.sh: Likewise.

On systems without libselinux, context_t is defined as an int type,
but defined as a pointer type by SELinux.
* src/chcon.c: Init with 0 rather than NULL to avoid warning.
|
|
* tests/misc/pwd-option.sh (base): Initialize with -P,
now that -L is the default, to accommodate an initial
working directory with a symlink component.
* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop.sh: Use $(env pwd -P) to get the
absolute working directory. Using "env" ensures we do not invoke
any shell built-in, and PATH ensures we invoke the one from coreutils.
* tests/readlink/can-e.sh: Likewise.
* tests/readlink/can-f.sh: Likewise.
* tests/readlink/can-m.sh: Likewise.

The security_context_t type was always an artificial separation
from a standard char* string, and various libselinux using code
assumed both were synonymous. In addition, prior to libselinux 2.3
function declarations were incorrect wrt constness of this type.
Here we replace security_context_t with char*, and also
provide a wrapper function to cater for the const issue on
older libselinux.
* src/system.h (se_const): A new function to avoid and identify
the const issue on older libselinux.

Since context is verified by security_check_context() it can be used in
change_file_context() without converting to context_t every time.
* src/chcon.c (change_file_context): Use specified_context directly.
|
|
context_new() and _free() are used for checking validity of a
specified context. libselinux provides security_check_context
for this purpose so use it.
Note that context_new() can fail for a valid context - e.g. ENOMEM.
* src/chcon.c (main): Use security_check_context().

* src/pwd.c (main): Adjust default mode to be "logical"
and independent of the POSIXLY_CORRECT env var.

* doc/coreutils.texi (pwd invocation): Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/pwd-option.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

* HACKING: GID is more useful in tests than group name, so rename
input param from NON_ROOT_GROUP to NON_ROOT_GID to make it obvious
that only a group ID is now acceptable, thus allowing GID lookups
to be avoided throughout the tests.
* init.cfg (require_root_): Likewise.
* tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Avoid looking up the GID.
* tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Likewise. Also fix an instance
of comparison against NON_ROOT_GROUP which would have given a false
failure if a non numeric value was passed in.
* tests/id/setgid.sh: Use previously looked up gid as a more
accurate base for the subsequent adjustment, and move
the uid lookup within chroot, rather than having the overhead
of a separate `id` invocation.
|
|
* NEWS: Mention bug introduced in v8.1 (with commit v8.0-88-g8ba5d1a).
|
|
* src/id.c (print_full_info): When no user is specified,
output the effective group for the _process_, rather than
the default group from the system database, which may be different.
* tests/id/setgid.sh: Add a case for `id` as well as `id -G`.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

* src/df.c (last_device_for_mount): A new function to identify
the last device mounted for a mount point.
(get_disk): Use the above to discard mount entries for a device,
where a later mount entry uses a different device name than
that of the user specified device.
* tests/df/over-mount-device.sh: A new root test.

* NEWS: Reword for all these related recent fixes.
Discussed at: http://bugs.gnu.org/16539#69
|
|
* src/df.c (get_disk): Include whether we can access the mount dir,
in the mount entry selection criteria. This handles the case where
a device is (bind) mounted multiple times with the shortest mount path
not being accessible, while some of the other mount points are.
Discussed at: http://bugs.gnu.org/16539#63

A system provided mount entry may be unavailable due to TOCTOU race,
or if another device has been over-mounted at that position, or due to
access permissions. In all these cases output "-" placeholder values
rather than either producing an error, or in the over-mount case
outputting values for the wrong device.
* src/df.c (device_list): A new global list now updated by
filter_mount_list().
(filter_mount_list): Adjust to take a parameter as to whether
update the global mount list, or only the mount <-> device ID mapping.
(get_dev): Use the device ID mapping to ensure we're not outputting
stats for the wrong device. Also output placeholder values when we
can't access a system specified mount point.
(get_all_entries): Set the DEVICE_ONLY param for filter_mount_list().
(devname_for_dev): A new function to search the mount <-> dev mapping.

failed to copy file system type along with the updated device name.
Therefore simply replace the existing mount entry with the
current one with all the latest device details. Note the name,
even if not shorter in this entry, will be replaced with a shorter
name in a subsequent mount entry.

* src/numfmt.c (double_to_human): The printf format is built up in
a stack buffer which is big enough to hold any of the possible formats.
However the size parameter passed to snprintf was too big by 1
when GROUP was true. So decrease the buffer available to snprintf
to avoid this theoretical in practise but valid coverity warning.

* tests/install/d-slashdot.sh: 'ginstall' is the binary name
in the build directory, not 'install'.
|

* src/install.c (install_file_in_file_parents): Factor out the
creation of any parent directories into ...
(mkancesdirs_safe_wd): ... this new function.
(install_file_in_dir): Add the parameter 'mkdir_and_install', and
call the above new function if it evaluates to true.
(main): During parsing of the -t option, move the check whether
the target_directory exists down after the option parsing loop,
and do not complain about stat(optarg,...) failing if -D was given.
Pass 'mkdir_and_install' to install_file_in_dir().
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Remove the (false)
restriction that -D would be ignored together with -t. Instead,
clarify install's new bahavior.
Fix the node's reference in the top-level @direntry for consistency.
* src/install/basic-1.sh: Add tests for the now-allowed combination
of the -D and -t options.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
|
|
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
|
|
* configure.ac: Remove the -Wsuggest-attribute=pure
enablement on GCC >= 4.7, as that was moot since
gnulib was already enabling that warning in its default set.
The false positive was seen with 4.6.2, but confirmed
not present in 4.6.3, so that's sufficiently old to
just leave this enabled unconditionally.
Remove the -Wsuggest-attribute={const,noreturn}
enablement, as gnulib already has those in the default set.
Enable the -Wlogical-op warning for GCC >= 4.8.0
as that is confirmed OK with coreutils at least, due to
fixing: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43772
Remove the -Wno-logical-op override since the main
-Wlogical-op flag is now sufficient to control this warning
as of GCC 4.6.3 at least.

* src/true.c (main): Add a comment about the possibility
of true returning EXIT_FAILURE due to write failure.
* tests/misc/false-status.sh: Fix so we're testing
the tool and not the shell builtin. Add a case for true(1).
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Skip /dev/full test
for true as well as false since the exit status is tested separately.
Also remove the iterations for different LC_MESSAGES, as this was only
applied for false(1). Translations are not honored in the test dir
and so would need separate handling in any case.

* src/df.c (get_dev): asssert() on Solaris 10 is not marked as
__noreturn__ and thus the compiler may think V is uninitialized
later on in the function.

* configure.ac: When looking for a .git checkout, exclude repos that
contain a .tarball-version file as these are probably releases
that are imported into git for patch management.

commits v8.20-98-g51ce0bf and v8.20-99-gd302aed changed cut(1)
to process each line independently and thus promptly output
each line without buffering. As part of those changes we removed
the special handling of --delimiter=$'\n' --fields=... which
could be used to select arbitrary (ranges of) lines, so as to
simplify and optimize the implementation while also matching the
behavior of different cut(1) implementations.
However that GNU behavior was in place for a long time, and
could be useful in certain cases like making a separated list like
`seq 10 | cut -f1- -d$'\n' --output-delimiter=,` although other tools
like head(1) and paste(1) are more suited to this operation.
This patch reinstates that functionality but restricts the
"line behind" buffering behavior to only the -d$'\n' case.
We also fix the following related edge case to be more consistent:
before> printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
2
before> printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
