* tests/ls/block-size.sh (size_etc): The sed expression through which
we filtered the output of "ls -l ..." assumed that the user and group
name components of each line would not contain spaces. Avoid the
problem by using -og instead of -l, thus not printing either of those
fields. Adjust the sed expression accordingly.

* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Avoid a spurious failure when
/bin/sh is dash (as can happen on Debian systems).

* src/stat.c (print_stat): Omit unnecessary calls to setpwent, setgrent.
Problem reported by Fridolín Pokorný in <http://bugs.gnu.org/14462>.
|
|
* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Rewrite to only buffer
when necessary. I.E. only increase the buffer when we've
already lines output in a split and we encounter a line
larger than the input buffer size, in which case a hold
buffer will be increased in increments of the input buffer size.
(lines_rr): Use the more abstract xalloc_die() just like
we did in line_bytes_split(), rather than explicitly
printing the "memory exhausted" message and exiting.
* tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Add a new test for this
function which previously had no test coverage.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

This fixes Bug#14371, reported by Killer Bassist.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): Remove member ancestor_mode.
New member umask_value. All uses changed.
* src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Fix umask assumption.
* src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c (main):
Leave umask alone. This requires invoking lchmod after creating
the file, which introduces a race condition, but this can't be
avoided on hosts with "POSIX" default ACLs, and there's no easy
way with network file systems to tell what kind of host the
directory is on.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add tests/mkdir/p-acl.sh.
* tests/mkdir/p-acl.sh: New file.

Use a sentinel value that's checked implicitly, rather than
a bit array, to determine if an item should be output.
Benchmark results for this change are:
$ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file
$ for c in orig sentinel; do
src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null
echo -ne "\n== $c =="
time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null

eol_range_start: Removed. 'n-' is no longer treated specially,
and instead SIZE_MAX is set for the 'hi' limit, and tested implicitly.
complement_rp: Used to complement 'rp' when '--complement' is specified.
ADD_RANGE_PAIR: Macro renamed to 'add_range_pair' function.
* tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Adjust to the SENTINEL value.
Also remove the overlapping range test as this is no longer
dependent on large ranges and also is already handled with
the EOL-subsumed-3 test in cut.pl.

This issue was introduced in commit v8.21-43-g3e466ad
* src/cut.c (set_fields): Process all range pairs when merging.

Also fix an issue where we could miss reported errors due
to truncation of the 'err' file.

* doc/coreutils.texi (Putting the tools together): Adjust the
textutils-1.22 URL, and add a URL for newer sources.

Ensure appropriate functions are inlined. This was seen to
be required with gcc 4.6.0 with -O2 on x86_64 at least.
It was reported that gcc 4.8.0 did inline these functions though.
Also reinstate the bit vector for the common case,
to further improve performance.
Benchmark results for both aspects of this change are:
$ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file
$ for c in orig inline inline-array; do
src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null
echo -ne "\n== $c =="

sys 0m0.009s
== inline-array ==
real 0m0.049s
user 0m0.044s
sys 0m0.005s
* src/cut.c (set_fields): Set up the printable_field bit vector
for performance, but only when it's appropriate. I.E. not
when either --output-delimeter or huge ranges are specified.
(next_item): Ensure it's inlined and avoid unnecessary processing.
(print_kth): Ensure it's inlined and add a branch for the fast path.

print_kth() is the central function of cut used to
determine if an item is to be output or not,
so simplify it by moving some logic outside.
Benchmark results for this change are:
$ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file
$ for c in orig split; do
src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null
echo -ne "\n== $c =="
time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null
done
== orig ==
real 0m0.111s
user 0m0.108s
sys 0m0.002s
== split ==
real 0m0.088s
user 0m0.081s
sys 0m0.007s
* src/cut.c (print_kth): Refactor a branch to outside the function.

The current implementation of cut, uses a bit array,
an array of `struct range_pair's, and (when --output-delimiter
is specified) a hash_table. The new implementation will use
only an array of `struct range_pair's.
The old implementation is memory inefficient because:
1. When -b with a big num is specified, it allocates a lot of
memory for `printable_field'.
2. When --output-delimiter is specified, it will allocate 31 buckets.
Even if only a few ranges are specified.
Note CPU overhead is increased to determine if an item is to be printed,
as shown by:
$ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file
$ for c in with-bitarray without-bitarray; do
src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null
echo -ne "\n== $c =="
time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null
done
== with-bitarray ==
real 0m0.084s
user 0m0.078s
sys 0m0.006s
== without-bitarray ==
real 0m0.111s
user 0m0.108s
sys 0m0.002s
Subsequent patches will reduce this overhead.
* src/cut.c (set_fields): Set and initialize RP
instead of printable_field.
* src/cut.c (is_range_start_index): Use CURRENT_RP rather than a hash.
* tests/misc/cut.pl: Check if `eol_range_start' is set correctly.
* tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Rename from cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh,
and add a test to verify large amounts of mem aren't allocated.

* init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Renamed from require_ulimit_
as this only checks for ulimit -v support. Other uses of
ulimit -t and ulimit -n in tests shouldn't cause false failures
if not supported.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): A new syntax check
to ensure that require_ulimit_v_() is used iff required.
* tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add missing call to require_ulimit_v_.
* tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise.

As a side effect of the previous commit which fixes 'tail -f --retry'
to wait for a file to appear, tail would not exit when the last file
appears untailable and gives up on this file.
This can happen, for example, when the argument file name appears
as directory. Tail sets the 'ignore' flag of this file to true,
but instead of exiting the program, tail would continue the loop.
* src/tail.c (any_live_files): Change the function to return true
if any of the files is still tailable or if tail should continue to
try to check again.
(tail_forever): Change the condition to break the loop in the
"no files remaining" case, because now any_live_files() will care
about it, as mentioned above.
(parse_options): When --retry is used without any follow mode,
then reset reopen_inaccessible_files to false.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add test case.
|
|
The --retry option is indeed useful for both following modes
by name and by file descriptor. The difference is that in the
latter case, it is effective only during the initial open.
As a regression of the implementation of the inotify support,
tail -f --retry would immediately exit if the given file is
inaccessible.
* src/tail.c (usage): Change the description of the --retry option:
remove the note that this option would mainly be useful when
following by name.
(main): Change diagnosing dubios uses of --retry option:
when the --retry option is used without following, then issue
a warning that this option is ignored; when it is used together
with --follow=descriptor, then issue a warning that it is only
effective for the initial open.
Disable inotify also in the case when the initial open in tail_file()
failed (which is the actual bug fix).
* init.cfg (retry_delay_): Pass excess arguments to the test function.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add new tests.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Enhance the documentation
of the --retry option. Clarify the difference in tail's behavior
regarding the --retry option when combined with the following modes
name versus descriptor.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.

On OS X it was seen that the group ID used for new files,
are set to a that of the directory rather than the current user.
It's not currently understood when this happens, but it was confirmed
that ACLs, extended attributes and setgid bits are _not_ involved.
* init.cfg (skip_if_nondefault_group_): A new function to detect
and avoid this situation. Document with links to the discussions
for hopefully future clarification.

* tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: New test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the test.

With --suppress-matched, the lines that match the pattern will not be
printed in the output files. I.E. the first line from the second
and subsequent splits will be suppressed.
* src/csplit.c: process_regexp(),process_line_count(): Don't output the
matched lines. Since csplit includes "up to but not including" matched
lines in each split, the first line (in the next group) is the matched
line - so just skip it.
main(): Handle new option.

Use the more portable 'chmod a-w', instead of the 'chmod -w' form.
The latter is not always supported. Also its operation is
dependent on umask controlling the permissions bits for new files,
which is not the case in the presence of POSIX default ACLs for e.g.
In that case, chmod may print a warning like the following, and
exit with failure status:
chmod: man/hostid.1-t: new permissions are r--rw-r--, not r--r--r--
* man/local.mk: s/-w/a-w/

* init.cfg (require_gcc_shared_): A new function to check
that we can build shared libraries in the particular manner
we use in our tests.
