* src/dd.c (alloc_[io]buf): I committed a stale patch that omitted
the casts needed on 32 bit.
Identified by http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17610188
|

"zu" was output on solaris 8 for example rather than the number,
since coreutils-8.22.
* cfg.mk: Disallow %z, since we don't currently use the gnulib
fprintf module, so any usage with it is non portable. Also
our usage with error() currently works only through an ancillary
dependency on the vfprintf gnulib module.
* src/rm.c (main): Use %PRIuMAX rather than %zu for portability.
* src/dd.c (alloc_[io]buf): Likewise for consistency.
* src/od.c (main): Likewise.
* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the rm bug fix.

Solaris 8 was seen to issue this error:
"printf: `&': illegal format character"
* test/dd/ascii.sh: Use the coreutils printf in this test
rather than the system one, to avoid portability issues.

* src/local.mk (src/coreutils.h):
Don't assume single_binary_progs is nonempty.
|

If '\n' was present at the size_t boundary of a file,
then that and subsequent data would be discarded.
* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Avoid the overflow issue
by changing the flag to a boolean rather than a count.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Separate remote locations are
generally explicitly mounted, so list each even if they share
the same remote device and thus storage. However with --total
keep the suppression to give a more accurate value for the
total storage available.
(usage): Expand on the new implications of --total and move
it in the options list according to alphabetic order.
doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Mention that --total impacts
on deduplication of remote file systems and also move location
according to alphabetic order.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add remote test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

commit v8.22-125-g9d736f8 printed placeholder "-" values
for device names that didn't match the preferred device name
for a particular mount point. However that was seen to erroneously
suppress values for aliased host names or exports, common with
remote file systems.
* src/df.c (me_for_dev): Rename from devname_for_dev() so that
we can determine the remoteness as well as the name for the
preferred mount entry.
(get_dev): Don't output place holder values when both
current and preferred mount entries are remote.

* NEWS: Update the recent entry to also mention the avoidance
of incorrectly unlinking a multi-hardlinked "source" file when
presented with source and dest that only differ in case.
* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Mention the case issue with same_name().
* tests/mv/hardlink-case.sh: Test the issue on HFS+.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test case.
* tests/mv/vfat: Remove an old related but unused test case.
|
|
* src/ls.c (usage): Mention the -b and -q options
in the -1 description.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Likewise.

file_t is now mapped to unlabeled_t as per:
http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/68189.html
Therefore use the latter to ensure we match correctly.
This is needed on >= Fedora 21 for example,
while it also works on earlier releases.

We may run into a race condition if we treat hard links to the same file
as distinct files. If we do 'mv a b' and 'mv b a' in parallel, both a
and b can disappear from the file system. The reason is that in this
case the unlink on src is called and the system calls can end up being
run in the order where unlink(a) and unlink(b) are the last two system
calls. Therefore exit with an error code so that we avoid the potential
data loss.
* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Don't set unlink_src that was used by mv,
and return false for two hardlinks to a file in move_mode.
*src/copy.c (copy_internal): No longer honor the unlink_src option,
used only by mv.
NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* tests/cp/same-file.sh: Augment to cover the `cp -a hlsl1 sl1` case.
* tests/mv/hard-verbose.sh: Remove no longer needed test.
* tests/local.mk: Remove the reference to hard-verbose.sh.
* tests/mv/hard-4.sh: Adjust so we fail in this case.
* tests/mv/i-4.sh: Likewise.
* tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self.sh: Likewise.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_strftime_check): Adjust regex to handle
newer glibc info formatting with different indentation
and quoting.
|

* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh: Comment with the correct total delay.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.shi: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f2.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Initialize can_chroot_root in all cases.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Use retry_delay_
to employ an exponential backoff with a total delay of
up to 25.5s. The 15s delay was seen to trigger a false
failure in http://hydra.nixos.org/build/16546517
Also remove the .1s sleep in each of the 50 iterations
to reduce the running time of the test and thus the
expensive_ tag on this test was removed.
Also ensure that we use the standard exit procedure
upon failure to avoid any erroneous diagnostics due
to persistent files on NFS.
|
|
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing.sh: Catch failure of retry_delay_
when waiting for the watcher to get ready.
|
|
* src/df.c (usage): Mention that duplicate file systems are shown
with this option, not just dummy file systems.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): For the --all option, expand
on the class of normally suppressed mount entries that it includes.

At least the MHz number in /proc/cpuinfo may change, thus leading to

* src/chroot.c (is_root): Adjust to compare canonicalized paths
rather than inodes, to handle (return false in) the case where
we have a tree that is constructed by first bind mounting "/"
(thus having the same inode).
(main): Unconditionally call chroot() because it's safer
and of minimal performance benefit to avoid in this case.
This will cause inconsistency with some platforms
not allowing `chroot / true` for non root users.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Adjust appropriately.

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): If sparse_copy() failed, then an
erroneous error about failing to extend the file would be reported.
|

* src.copy.c (copy_reg): Use fiemap to read sparse files, even
if the output is not to a regular file.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

With --sparse=always use fallocate(...PUNCH_HOLE...) to
avoid any permanent allocation due to speculative
preallocation employed by file systems such as XFS.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for <linux/falloc.h> and fallocate().
* src/copy.c (punch_hole): A new function to try and punch
a hole at the specified offset if supported.
(create_hole): Call punch_hole() after requesting a hole.
(extent_copy): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
|
|
Previously cp would not detect runs of NULs that were
smaller than the buffer size used for I/O (currently 128KiB).
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Use an independent hole_size, set to
st_blksize, to increase the chances of detecting a representable hole,
in a run of NULs read from the input.
(create_hole): A new function refactored from sparse_copy() and
extent_copy() so we have a single place to handle holes.
(sparse_copy): Adjust to loop over the larger input buffer
in chunks of the passed hole size. Also adjust to only call
lseek once per hole, rather than at least once per input buffer.
* tests/cp/sparse.sh: Add test cases for various sparse chunk sizes.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

* man/timeout.x: The 2038 that the sentence is referring to is the year
2038, not 2038 seconds (the default unit used for timeouts).

Prompted by http://hydra.nixos.org/build/15682577
with GCC 4.8.3 on i686
src/tac.c:557:6: error: assuming signed overflow does not occur
when simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow]
if (bytes_copied < 0)
This happens because copy_to_temp() is inlined in tac_nonseekable(),
thus reducing the comparison to the bytes_copied variable in
copy_to_temp. Now this can't overflow on either 32 or 64 bit
due to the protection of the preceding fwrite(). We could use a
guard like "if (bytes_copied <= OFF_T_MAX - bytes_read)" to avoid
the warning, but rather than a runtime branch, just use an unsigned
type to avoid apparent signed overflow on systems where the accumulation
is not promoted to unsigned (32 bit size_t, 64 bit off_t).
* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Increment an unsigned type to
avoid the subsequent signed overflow warning.

* src/dd.c: Report the transfer progress every second when the
new status=progress level is used. Adjust the handling and
description of the status= option so that they're treated as
mutually exclusive levels, rather than flags with implicit precedence.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document the new progress
status level. Reference the new level in the description of SIGUSR1.
* tests/dd/stats.sh: Add new test for status=progress.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Change so status=none only takes precedence
if it's the last level specified.
* NEWS: Mention the feature.

* src/dd.c (ifd_reopen): A new wrapper to ensure we
don't exit upon receiving a SIGUSR1 in a blocking open()
on a fifo for example.
(iftruncate): Likewise for ftruncate().
(iread): Process signals also after a short read.
(install_signal_handlers): Install SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 handler
even if set to SIG_IGN, as this is what the parent can easily
set from a shell script that can send SIGUSR1 without the
possiblity of inadvertently killing the dd process.

On some filesystems (BTRFS), moving a file within the filesystem may
cross subvolume boundaries and we can use a lightweight reflink copy,
similar to what cp(1) can do, which is faster than a full file copy.
This is enabled by default because it's only an optimization for
the fall back copy and does not break user expectations or usability.
* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Set the reflink mode to AUTO.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

* src/stty.c (usage): Exclude unsupported options from --help,
which for example impacts the "dsusp" and "cdtrdsr" options on Linux.

"E.g." stands for latin "exempli gratia" which is typically read
as "for example". "E.g." does not stand for the word "example".
As such, "for e.g." might be read as "for for example".
Fix this usage by simply replacing "e.g." with "example".
|
|
* man/local.mk (.x.1): Move the program name argument down after
the last option argument when calling $(run_help2man).
While the other way would be accepted for the GNU help2man program,
it is not for the 'dummy-man' script (called as a fallback on
systems lacking perl).
The wrong order was introduced in commit v8.21-119-gb3578fc while
adding the --info-page option.

|
* man/dummy-man: Fix argument count check, now only permitting
exactly 1 argument, the program name.

* man/dummy-man: Fix argument count check,
allowing dummy-man to run (on systems without perl).
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/18531

* .gitignore: Remove reference to no longer generated make file.
* configure.ac: Don't bother generating placeholder make file.
* man/local.mk: Hardcode the man page deps list for normal builds
to be compatible with all make implementations and configure options.
Note in SINGLE_BINARY mode, all man pages will be generated on
any change to the coreutils binary, but development will generally
not be done in this mode, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Following on from commit v5.92-729-g130dd06, also avoid
the erroneous directory hardlink warning with -H.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Also handle the -H case
for command line arguments.
* tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Augment the test case.
* NEWS: Augment the news entry.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Handle the case where we have the
same destination directory as already encountered, which can only
be due to the corresponding source directory being specified multiple
times.
* tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Add a test for the new multiply
specified directory case, and the existing multiply specified file case.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
|
|
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Take the invariant PROGRAM_NAME
as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs
and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place. Note the
man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program
prefix is used.
* NEWS: Mention the improvements in references to online documentation.

On XFS, when creating the ~2G test file 'big' in a for-loop by
appending 20M each time, the file ends up using ~4G - visible in
'st_blocks'. The unused space would be reclaimed later.
This feature is called "speculative preallocation" which aims at
avoiding fragmentation.
According to the XFS FAQ [1], there are two particular aspects of
XFS speculative preallocation that are triggering this:
1. "Applications that repeatedly trigger preallocation and reclaim
cycles [after file close] can cause fragmentation.
Therefore, this pattern is detected and causes the preallocation
to persist beyond the lifecycle of the file descriptor."
2. "Preallocation sizes grow as files grow larger."
[1] http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ
Avoid one of the above by only doing a single close (reclaim cycle).
* tests/du/2g.sh: Similar to the fix for a dd test (see commit
v8.22-65-g7c03fe2), avoid speculative preallocation by creating
the 'big' file in one go instead of appending to it in the loop.
Remove debugging statements as the output with 'set -x' is
sufficient nowadays.
