This bug showed up via valgrind as a "Conditional jump or move
depends on uninitialized value(s)" error.
* src/tail.c (ignore_fifo_and_pipe): New function.
(main): Use it only when tailing forever.
The code to compute n_viable and mark some F[i] as ignored would call
isapipe on an uninitialized file descriptor. But n_viable and those
.ignored marks are useful/used only when tailing forever. This bug
was introduced via commit f0ff8c73 (7.6), "tail: make the new
piped-stdin test as portable as the old one".
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the "id" bug fix inherited via this gnulib
change: "mgetgroups: do not write bytes beyond end of malloc'd buffer"
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=51d5e813e9ee6cf23

|
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Correct the introduced-in version number.
This was introduced on 2003-04-02 by commit 722a49ea.
|
|
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention implications of the "make distcheck" change.
This was introduced on 2008-07-22 by commit 9bb0d576, "tests: ensure
"make check" w/tainted build dir no longer impacts $HOME".
|
|
* src/sort.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default
as otherwise wait() could return an error.
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Set the CHLD handler in a subshell
to SIG_IGN to ensure the sort command resets it to SIG_DFL.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
* src/timeout.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default
as otherwise wait() could return -1 and set errno to ECHILD.
This condition was ignored until commit 0b1dcf33, on 31-08-2009,
"timeout: defensive handling of all wait() errors"
but subsequently timeout would run the command correctly
but then fail with an error message.
* tests/misc/timeout: In a subshell set the CHLD handler to
SIG_IGN to ensure the timeout command resets it to SIG_DFL.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

If getgroups failed with ENOSYS, mgetgroups would unnecessarily
fail, and that provoked id into freeing an uninitialized pointer.
Meanwhile, we were not using xalloc_die properly. Both issues
are better solved in gnulib, by introducing xgetgroups; this
patch uses the new interface.
Regression introduced by commit 6a31fd8d7.
* gnulib: Update, for mgetgroups improvments.
* src/id.c (print_full_info): Adjust caller to die on allocation
failure, and no longer worry about ENOSYS.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise.
* src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* THANKS: Update.

While "rm ''" would properly fail, "rm F1 '' F2" would fail
to remove F1 and F2, due to the empty string argument.
This bug was introduced on 2009-07-12, via commit 4f73ecaf,
"rm: rewrite to use fts".
* gnulib: Update to latest, for fixed fts.c.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Describe it.
* tests/rm/empty-name: Adjust for changed diagnostic.
(mk_file): Define, copied from misc/ls-misc.
(empty-name-2): New test, for today's fix.
* lib/xfts.c (xfts_open): Reflect the change in fts_open, now that
it no longer fails immediately when one argument is the empty string.
Assert that the bit flags were not the cause of failure.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove xfts.c.
* THANKS: Update.

Tailing forever and by-name (--follow=name, -F), tail would
sometimes fail to follow a file that had been removed via rename.
If you can't apply this patch and have tail 7.6 or newer, you can
work around the bug via the undocumented --disable-inotify option.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): When tailing by name (-F),
do not un-watch a file upon receipt of the IN_MOVE_SELF event.
Reported by Arjan Opmeer in http://bugs.debian.org/548439.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: New test.

Capability checking was incorrectly done on just the base name
rather than on the whole path. Consequently there could be both
false positives and negatives when coloring files with capabilities.
Also capability checking was not done at all in certain cases for
non executable files. Note passing absolute rather than relative
names to cap_get_file() reduces the has_capability() overhead
from around 33% to 30%. I.E. ls --color is now around 3% faster.
* src/ls.c (struct fileinfo): Add a has_capability member.
(print_color_indicator): Refactor to pass just a fileinfo pointer
and a flag to say if we're dealing with a symlink target.
(print_name_with_quoting): Likewise.
(gobble_file): Set has_capability in the fileinfo struct. Also do
a capability check even if executable coloring is disabled.
Ditto for SETUID and SETUID coloring.
Comment on how expensive has_capability() is.
(print_long_format): Adjust to refactored print_name_with_quoting.
(quote_name): Likewise.

rm -f must not print a diagnostic for a nonexistent file. However,
most linux-based kernel unlinkat functions set errno to EROFS when
the named file (regardless of whether it exists) would lie on a
read-only file system. remove.c now performs an extra fstatat call
in that case, to determine whether the file exists.
* src/remove.c (excise): Map EROFS to ENOENT, if a file is nonexistent.

These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to
exec'ing a subsidiary program. However, if we thought the situation
warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed
without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk.
For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2>/dev/full'. Failure to raise
priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform
the user about failure to change priority is dangerous.
* src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message
to stderr fails.

* src/chcon.c (main): Now that gnulib provides getfilecon wrappers,
we can revert most of the 2009-10-05 commit 3a97d664, "chcon: exit
immediately if SELinux is disabled", since chcon is still useful as
long as the file system provides handlers for the security.*
name space. gnulib's getfilecon wrappers ensure that an offending
context now evokes a return value of -1.

* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add the following FS types,
from <linux/magic.h>: afs, anon-inode FS, btrfs, cgroupfs,
cramfs-wend, debugfs, futexfs, inotifyfs, minux3, securityfs,
selinux, xenfs.
Also add "nilfs".

differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools:
openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in
tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by
a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use
the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each
other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency
after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited.
This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the
process is dead.
* tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep
check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check
for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Previously for `ls -Ls` (but not `ls -Lsl`), we referenced
the st_blocks returned from the previous failed stat() call.
This undefined value was seen to be 0 for dangling symlinks at least.
* src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills):
Don't use st_blocks if the previous stat() failed
* tests/ls/dangle: Add a test case
* NEWS: Mention the fix, and roll up related items into a single entry.

* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-"
to mean "standard input", like many other tools do.
(do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-".

ls prints inode numbers two ways: for long (-l) listings,
and for short ones, e.g., ls -li and ls -i. The code to print
long listings properly printed "?" when the inode was unknown,
but the code for handling short listings would print 0 instead.
Factor out the formatting code into a new function so ls prints
the right string ("?") from both places:
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/ls.c (format_inode): New function.
(print_long_format): Use it here.

* tests/ls/dangle: Exercise this fix.

* src/ls.c (print_dir): Diagnosing the cycle is not enough.
Also set exit status to 2. This is what Solaris' /bin/ls does, too.
* tests/ls/infloop: Rework test: match both expected stdout and stderr.
Require an exit status of 2 in this case.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Mention that a loop provokes
