* cfg.mk (sc_case_insensitive_file_names): A new syntax-check rule.
* tests/tail-2/descriptor-vs-rename.sh: Rename from
tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh
* tests/local.mk: Reference the renamed test.
Reported by Jim Meyering.

* tests/dd/sparse.sh: Sync files before checking allocations,
which may be done asynchronously on NFS and BTRFS at least.
Also mark this test as very expensive on remote file systems.
* tests/du/2g.sh: Likewise, also use fallocate if available
to efficiently allocate the large file, otherwise skip
on remote file systems.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh: Use the more
standard is_local_dir_() to check remoteness.
* tests/cp/fiemap-empty.sh: Comment on the sync issue
for this currerntly unused test.

* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Don't send SIGCONT to the monitored program
when --foreground is specified, as it's generally not needed for
foreground programs, and can cause intermittent signal delivery
issues with monitors like GDB for example.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Mention that SIGCONT
is not sent with --foreground.
* NEWS: Mention the behavior change.

Supporting `split --numeric-suffixes=1 -n100` for example.
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention the two
use cases for the FROM parameter, and the consequences on
the suffix length determination.
* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Use the --numeric-suffixes
FROM parameter in the suffix width calculation, when it's
less than the number of files specified in --number.
* tests/split/suffix-auto-length.sh: Add test cases.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20511

* src/wc.c (usage): State that it calculates display width.
* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Detail the distinct
items used to determine the display width.
|
|
Generally if logs are truncated, they're truncated to 0 length,
so output all existing data when our heuristic determines truncation.
Note with inotify, truncate() and write() are often determined
independently and so all data would be written if that was the case.
* src/tail.c (check_fspec): Reset file offset to 0 upon truncation.
(tail_forever): Likewise.
(recheck): Add a FIXME for the related issue where tail may lose
data due to tail discounting older log files too early.
* tests/tail-2/truncate.sh: A new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

The previous fixes to races in the various tail tests,
identified actual races in the tail inotify implementation.
With --follow=descriptor, if the tailed file was replaced before
the inotify watch was added, then any subsequent changes were ignored.
Similarly in --follow=name mode, all changes to a new name were
effectively ignored if that name was created after the original open()
but before the inotify_add_watch().
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Fix 3 cases.
1. With -f, don't stop tailing when file removed before watch.
2. With -f, watch right file when file replaced before watch.
3. With -F, inspect correct file when replaced before watch.
Existing tests identify these when tail compiled with TAIL_TEST_SLEEP.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh:
This test also identifies the issue with --follow=name
when TAIL_TEST_SLEEP is used. Adjust so the test is immune
to such races, and also fail quicker on remote file systems.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race2.sh: A new test using GDB,
based on inotify-race.sh, which tests the -F race
without needed recompilation with sleeps.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug.

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_background_without_cleanup_):
A new syntax-check to ensure cleanup_() is defined
when background tasks are created in a test.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Add a `wait` to ensure that
we reap all background gdb and tail processes. That resulted
in the test hanging intermittently and upon investigation was
due to gdb intermittently failing to terminate the child process
due to receiving a SIGCONT signal. Therefore we avoid using
timeout(1) which sends that signal, and instead rely on tail's
inbuilt --pid monitoring on a background sleep process.
Given this new implementation, the VERY_EXPENSIVE guard was removed.
Related issues with this test hanging were previously discussed at:

* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh: Use standard "fastpoll" options
(-s.1 --max-unchanged-stats=1) to speedup the non-inotify case.
Add the non-inotify case to the test. `wait` on the background
tail process to terminate which should avoid the need for the
non standard `retry_delay_ cleanup ...` on NFS.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Remove 'out' at the start of the loop,
to avoid a race in checking its contents. Also ensure 'a' & 'b'
files are present before the tail process starts. Use the standard
"fastpoll" options as above.
* tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/append-only.sh: Use more standard variable names.
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial.sh: Use "fastpoll" options for
non-inotify platforms. Also `wait` on the background tail to avoid
stray processes and file cleanup issues on NFS.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse.sh: Always run non-inotify case.
Use "fastpoll" options. Use a more standard retry_delay_ instead
of a hardcoded sleep loop. Add a `wait` on the background tail.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh: Wait just on the
specific tail $pid needed.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Use "fastpoll" options.
* tests/tail-2/pid.sh: Use standard variable names.
Add a `wait` on the background tails.
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f2.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Use "fastpoll" options.
* tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise. Speedup by using sub second
parameters to timeout(1). Improve the part ensuring that
-F never follows a renamed file.
* tests/tail-2/infloop-1.sh: Remove invalid test. tail(1) was not
being passed the --pid=$yes_pid option, retry_delay_ wasn't used
to avoid races, and yes could write huge files before being killed.
* tests/local.mk: Remove the invalid test reference.
* tests/tail-2/assert-2.sh: Rewrite using retry_delay_(). Since
no longer hardcoding large delays, remove the VERY_EXPENSIVE tag.
* tests/tail-2/assert.sh: Likewise.

Without this change, very recent gcc (e.g., version 6.0.0 20150509)

INPUT, allowing use of emit_stdin_note(). Also remove
the mention of "fixed-size" pieces as this isn't now
always the case.

* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: getmntent is no longer called
when /proc/self/mountinfo is present, thus causing the test
to be skipped. Therefore wrap fopen() to ignore mountinfo,
and use the test genmntent table instead.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise.
|
|
* src/coreutils.c (usage): include coreutils.h outside
the printf call, because if it's a macro you will get the error:
embedding a #include directive within macro arguments is not supported
|
|
* src/yes.c (main): Simplify the logic so that the
compiler can see this function always returns a value.
This was seen with GCC 5.0 in SINGLE_BINARY mode.
|
|
* tests/ls/no-cap.sh: Ensure the test isn't skipped even if
capability coloring is disabled in the current $LS_COLORS.
Also just enable/disable capability coloring to avoid the
dircolors(1) overhead.

The equivalent styling added in v8.23-155-g3b98ee7,
is now applied to gnulib using projects by default.
|
|
gnulib now only checks that the printf routines never crash,
which is all coreutils currrently requires, and so we revert
commit v8.23-81-gf57bfbb to let gnulib decide whether to replace
the system printf routines.
|
|
With GCC 5 and the newly added warnings from gnulib, ensure the
correct signed integer is passed for the printf format,
to avoid -Werror=format= failures.

* bootstrap.conf: 0.19.2 is available on openSUSE-13.2,
Debian-8.0, and Ubuntu-14.10. Given there were issues
with earlier 0.19 gettext releases, set this as the new minimum.

Bump to 0.19.4.
* gl/lib/tempname.c.diff, gl/lib/tempname.h.diff:
Merge recent gnulib changes.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): The word 'their' is
incorrect; 'each file' is the antecedent, and is singular,
so 'its' is the correct pronoun.
|

* src/longlong.h: Sync with the latest longlong.h from libgmp to:
- Use __builtin_c[lt]zl on arm64.
- Fix sparc64 vis3 build failure due to missing __clz_tab.
- Avoid a clang build issue on mips.
- Support thumb2 arm 32 bit system.
* src/cfg.mk (sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Exclude longlong.h
to ease merges.

All warnings were of the form: "assuming signed overflow does not occur
when simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow]"
* src/dd.c (cache_round): Use an appropriately sized unsigned type,
to avoid possibility of undefined signed overflow.
* src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
* src/pr.c (pad_down): Likewise.
* src/wc.c (main): Likewise.
* src/tail.c (main): Assert that argc >= 0 thus allowing the
compiler to assume without implication that argc - optind
is positive.
|
|
* src/dircolors.hin: Add the MISSING entry, to indicate
this as a possibility in new templates output from dircolors,
and also to ease comparison with existing databases that
generally do define a MISSING entry.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that when copying files
without preserving permissions, the umask or a default ACL affect
the mode of new files.
* THANKS.in: Remove committer.

description of the --time option. Mention that both the -u
and --sort=time default order is newest first.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Only monitor write()s and
truncate()s to files in --follow=descriptor mode, thus avoiding
the bug where we removed the watch on renamed files.
Also adjust the inotify event processing code that is
now significant only in --follow=name mode.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Improve this existing test by running
in both polling and inotify modes.

* src/date.c (usage): Use FMT rather than TIMESPEC as the parameter,
since it's simpler to understand and can be better aligned.
Give an example for the --iso-8601 output format.
Adjust the example used for the 3 standard formats to be unambiguous
with respect to day/mon ordering and use of leading zeros in the time.
Reorder the options descriptions slightly, so that the
3 standards options are together.
Indent the multi-line descriptions so that grouping is obvious.
Remove a redundant description of the --rfc-3339 format,
which is obvious in the existing example.
Separate these 3 standards options to their own translatable string
to simplify translation.
Change 'date and time' to 'date/time' in the --iso-8601 description
to be consistent with --rfc-3339 and to help avoid the implication
that the time is always output or even output by default.

* src/uniq.c (usage): The description was very confusing in the man page
due to the stripped newlines. Add punctuation for clarification.

* src/wc.c (wc): Allow any block to select the count implementation,
rather than just using the first 10 lines. This also simplifies
the code from 3 loops to 2.

Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20172
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_tests_executable): The previous commit avoided
the globbing, but also passed on the quoted wildcards to find(1).
We could use eval to handle the quoting, though that's a bit
awkward and dangerous, so instead explicitly disable globbing
for the whole make target subshell. Note noglob is not available
on solaris, where we fall back to set -f. Note also that zsh
uses set -F for this, but that's moot here. Also correct the
find(1) expression to include the -o between each wildcard.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_tests_executable): If there are files with
$TEST_EXTENSIONS in the current directory, then the
lack of quoting of the $test_extensions_rx contents
could result in globbing and an inconsequential run.
find(1) produces warnings only with more than one expansion.

Using a test file generated with:
yes | head -n100M > 2x100M.txt
before> time wc -l 2x100M.txt
real 0.842s

sys 0.033s
after> time wc -l 2x100M.txt
real 0.142s
user 0.111s
sys 0.031s
* src/wc.c (wc): Split the loop that deals with -l into 3.
The first is used at the start of the input to determine if
the average line length is < 15, and if so the second loop is
used to look for '\n' internally to wc. For longer lines,
memchr is used as before to take advantage of system specific
optimizations which any outweigh function call overhead.
Note the first 2 loops could be combined, though in testing,
GCC 4.9.2 at least, wasn't sophisticated enough to separate
the loops based on the "check_len" invariant.
Note also __builtin_memchr() isn't significant here as
GCC currently only applies constant folding with that.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
|
|
* src/yes.c (main): Even when the internal buffer isn't large enough,
output what we've buffered already, and interate over the rest.
This improves the performance in the edge case where there are
many small arguments that overflow the buffer.
* tests/misc/yes.sh: Add a test case for the many small arguments case.
|

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

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
9.41% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___libc_write

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.
