commit v8.23-31-g90aa291 failed to consider this case,
where the previous rename has failed, thus causing the
following to remove the specified directory:
mv dir dir dir
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Assume this rename attempt has
succeeded, as a previous failure will already have been handled,
and we don't want to remove the source directory in this case.

Instead of commit v8.24-132-g5171bef which only provides
control to disable this behavior (with -I), provide
the symmetrical "[-]drain" special setting.

Problem noted by Pádraig Brady in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22277#8
Also, make the output a bit more precise while we're at it.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/dd.c (previous_time): Remove, replacing with ...
(next_time): New var. All uses changed.
This avoids some rounding errors, and should be a bit faster.
(newline_pending): Remove, replacing with ...
(progress_len): New var. All uses changed.
This lets us keep track of how many trailing spaces to append.
(print_xfer_stats): Get the time first thing, so that it's
closer to being correct. Count the bytes output, and append
trailing spaces if needed. Add remarks to translators about
translation lengths.

fallocate can allocate extents beyond EOF via FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.
Where there is a gap (hole) between the extents, and EOF is within
that gap, the final hole wasn't reproduced, resulting in silent
data corruption in the copied file (size too small).
* src/copy.c (extent_copy): Ensure we don't process extents
beyond the apparent file size, since processing and allocating
those is not currently supported.
* tests/cp/fiemap-extents.sh: Renamed from tests/cp/fiemap-empty.sh
and re-enable parts checking the extents at and beyond EOF.

when generating and checking checksums. I.E. ensure a single line
per file by starting the line with '\' for any file name containing '\n'
and replacing those with "\\n".
* NEWS: Move the item from changes in behavior to improvements,
since this is no longer a backwards incompat change when
processing stdout status messages.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Remove quotes from expected status output.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.

* src/date.c (main): Use %:z rather than %z with --iso-8601
as the standard states to consistently use extended format.
Note either format can be parsed by date.

* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Clarify that "iso"
time styles are only similar to ISO-8601.
(ls invocation): Likewise.

These strings are often file names or other user specified
parameters, which can give confusing errors in
the presence of unexpected characters for example.
* cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule.
* src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote().
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

This is especially significant when using --check
with files generated on a windows system, where the \r
characters produce corrupted and confusing error messages.
This also ensures status messages are output on a single line.

In the presence of bind mounts of a device, the 4th "mount root" field
from /proc/self/mountinfo is now considered, so as to prefer mount
points closer to the root of the device. Note on older systems with
an /etc/mtab file, the source device was listed as the originating
directory, and so this was not an issue.
Details at http://pad.lv/1432871
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): When deduplicating mount entries,
only prefer sources nearer or at the root of the device, when the
target is nearer the root of the device.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
|

du calls stat for each mount point at startup. This would block or
even make du fail if stat for an unrelated mount point hangs.
The result is not needed in the normal case anyway and therefore
should be avoided. Issue introduced in commit v8.19-2-gcf7e1b5.
* src/du.c (fill_mount_table): Move function up as it's not used ...
(mount_point_in_fts_cycle): ... here, i.e., the DI_MNT set is
initialized and filled only iff FTS has detected a directory cycle.
(main): Remove the initialization and filling of the DI_MNT set here,
and free the DI_MNT set only if it was used.

* src/base64.c (main): Support decimal numbers with leading zeros,
by disabling the auto detection of octal and hex. It's not
envisaged that base conversion is needed for --wrap parameters,
and in the edge case it is, $((0x0)) shell constructs can be used.
* tests/misc/base64.pl: Adjust accordingly.

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: global-buffer-overflow src/shred.c:782
* src/shred.c (gen_patterns): Restrict pattern selection
to the K available, which regressed due to v5.92-1462-g65533e1.
* tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Add a deterministic test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

* NEWS: Add header line for next release.
* .prev-version: Record previous version.
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
|
|
* NEWS: Record release date.
|
|
* src/factor.c (n_out): A new global variable to track
how much data has been written to stdout.
(print_factors_single): Use n_out to determine whether
to flush the current (and previous) lines.
* tests/misc/factor-parallel.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_int): Don't count leading zeros
as significant digits. Also have leading zeros as optional
for floating point numbers.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
Due to existing limits this is usually triggered
with an increased precision. We also add further
restrictions to the output of increased precision numbers.
* src/numfmt.c (simple_round): Avoid intmax_t overflow.
(simple_strtod_int): Count digits consistently
for precision loss and overflow detection.
(prepare_padded_number): Include the precision
when excluding numbers to output, since the precision
determines the ultimate values used in the rounding scheme
in double_to_human().
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add previously failing test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c (usage): Update the --format description
to indicate precision is allowed.
(parse_format_string): Parse a precision specification
like the standard printf does.
(double_to_human): Honor the precision in --to mode.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: New tests.
* doc/coreutils.texi (numfmt invocation): Mention the new feature.
* NEWS: Likewise.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c: Replace field handling code with logic that understands
field range specifiers. Instead of processing a single field and
printing line prefix/suffix around it, process each field in the line
checking whether it has been included for conversion. If so convert and
print, otherwise just print the unaltered field.
(extract_fields): Removed.
(skip_fields): Removed.
(process_line): Gutted and heavily reworked.
(process_suffixed_number): FIELD is now passed as an arg instead of
using a global.
(parse_field_arg): New function that parses field range specifiers.
(next_field): New function that returns pointers to the next field in
a line.
(process_field): New function that wraps the field conversion logic
(include_field): New function that checks whether a field should be
converted
(compare_field): New function used for field value comparisons in a
gl_list.
(free_field): New function used for freeing field values in a gl_list.
Global variable FIELD removed.
New global variable all_fields indicates whether all fields should be
processed.
New global variable all_fields_after stores the first field of a N-
style range.
New global variable all_fields_before stores the last field of a -M
style range.
New global variable field_list stores explicitly specified fields to
process (N N,M or N-M style specifiers).
(usage): Document newly supported field range specifiers.
* bootstrap.conf: Include xlist and linked-list modules. numfmt now
uses the gl_linked_list implementation to store the field ranges.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add tests for 'cut style' field ranges.
Adjust existing tests as partial output can occur before an error
Remove test for the 'invalid' field -5.. this is now a valid range.
* gnulib: update to avoid compiler warnings in linked-list.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c (unit_to_umax): Support SI (power of 10) suffixes
with the --from-unit and --to-unit options. Treat suffixes like
is done with --from=auto, which for example will change the meaning
of --to-unit=G to that of --to-unit=Gi. The suffix support was
previously undocumented and it's better to avoid the traditional
coreutils suffix handling in numfmt by default.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new behavior. Also fix a typo
mentioning {from,to}=units=.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Use the fspec pointer to
distinguish previously output files, rather than a descriptor
from the inotify event. That event descriptor was that of
the parent directory when files were created or renamed etc.
(check_fspec): Adjust for the new comparison. Also show the
header when the file is truncated, since we show data
in this case also.
* tests/tail-2/F-headers.sh: A new test case.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
|
|
When the parent directory exists and has a different
default context to the final directory, the context
was incorrectly left as that of the parent directory.
* src/mkdir.c (process_dir): Because defaultcon() is called for
existing ancestors (as it must be to avoid races), then we must
unconditionally call restorecon() on the last component due to
the already documented caveat with make_dir_parents().
Alternatively you could temp disable o->set_security_context
around make_dir_parents(), but that would be subject to races.
* tests (tests/mkdir/restorecon.sh): Add a TODO for improvement.
Reference mknod and mkfifo with print_ver_.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20616
|
|
* 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.
|
|
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.
