Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message,
so that year is updated automatically in future.

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.

* m4/jm-macros.m4: Don't check the SELinux cached variables
--without-selinux.

Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this,
perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test
to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

Handle both newer selinux libraries with mode_to_security_class(),
and systems without selinux at all. We could easily adjust
gnulib to provide the necessary stubs for use by this module,
but it's more efficient to just stub out the module completely,
when not using selinux.
* src/selinux.h: Define stubs for the two module functions,
when SELinux is not available.
* src/selinux.c: Exclude all logic in preference for the stubs
when selinux isn't used. Also when newer selinux libs are used,
don't use our conflicting static version of mode_to_security_class().
m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for the system mode_to_security_class().

Consolidate all smack routines and checks in a module.
We replace and wrap the most commonly used smack routines,
which allows removing ifdefs throughout the code.
* gl/lib/smack.h: A new header containing the implementation
of the wrapped and replacement routines. Note the is_smack_enabled()
routine should be optimized out at compile time when compiled
on a system without libsmack.
* gl/modules/smack: Describe the new module and move the
configure time code here from ...
* m4/jm-macros.m4: ... here.
* bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module.
* src/id.c: Use the routines without ifdefs where possible.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
* src/mkfifo.c: Likewise.
* src/mknod.c: Likewise.
|
|
There was slight change to libsmack such that positive values are
reserved for returning length of the label for smack_new_label_from_*
functions.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Set HAVE_SMACK when both smack_new_label_from_self()
and recently added smack_new_label_from_path() are present.
The latter's presence indicates the newer API of the former.
* src/id.c (main): Check that smack_new_label_from_self() < 0,
and not just non-zero.
|
|
Adds an optional dependency on libsmack.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Look for the smack library/header.
* src/id.c (main): Output the smack context if available.
* src/local.mk: Link with libsmack if available.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
|
|
* m4/gmp.m4 (cu_GMP): Add an extra check that gmp.h is available
which is required on one Mac OS X 10.5.8 system at least,
where the lib was available but the header wasn't.
Also enable our GMP code on systems where GMP is not in a separate lib.
|
|
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this,
perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test
to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
|
|
The new factor code introduced usage of mpz_inits() and
mpz_clears(), which are only available since GMP >= 5,
and will result in a compile error when missing.
* m4/gmp.m4 (cu_GMP): Define HAVE_DECL_MPZ_INITS appropriately.
* src/factor (mpz_inits): New function, defined where missing.
(mpz_clears): Likewise.

This was originally attempted in commit v8.12-117-g5a647a0,
but reverted before release because of the unreliability
of disabling core dumps using setrlimit() on Linux kernels.
This new version instead uses prctl() where available to
more reliably disable core dumps for the timeout process.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SETRLIMIT and HAVE_PRCTL.
* src/timeout.c (disable_core_dumps): A new function
that disables coredumps using prctl or setrlimit if available.
(main): If the child exited with a signal and we can
disable core dumps, then raise that signal to the timeout
process itself, so that callers may also see the signal status.
Also print a message indicating when the monitored command
dumped core, as that information is lost in the signal
propagation through timeout.

Convert the few remaining coreutils-specific files in lib/ to
gnulib-style modules under gl/, removing their corresponding .m4
files, since the information recorded in those files is better
stored in module-description file in gl/modules/.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add new modules:
fd-reopen, buffer-lcm, xfts, strnumcmp.
* gl/lib/buffer-lcm.c: Renamed from the file in lib/.
* gl/lib/buffer-lcm.h: Likewise.
* gl/lib/fd-reopen.c: Likewise.

* gl/lib/strnumcmp.c: Likewise.
* gl/lib/strnumcmp.h: Likewise.

* gl/modules/buffer-lcm: New module-description file.
* gl/modules/fd-reopen: Likewise.
* gl/modules/strnumcmp: Likewise.
* gl/modules/xfts: Likewise.
* m4/fd-reopen.m4: Remove, no longer needed.
* m4/strnumcmp.m4: Likewise.
* m4/xfts.m4: Likewise.
* m4/prereq.m4: Do not AC_REQUIRE the m4 functions from
our just-removed m4/*.m4 files.

struct statfs has the f_frsize member since Linux 2.6,
so use that rather than f_bsize which can be different.
Note the related df change mentioned in NEWS is handled
in gnulib by using statvfs() rather than statfs()
on Linux > 2.6.36 (where statvfs doesn't hang) and the
same method as stat for Linux 2.6 kernels earlier than that.
stat(1) doesn't use statvfs() on GNU/Linux as the f_type
member isn't available there.
Note the change to not use statvfs() on GNU/Linux was introduced
in gnulib commit eda39b8 16-08-2003.
* m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Check for the f_frsize
member in the statfs structure.
* src/stat.c: Use (struct statfs).f_frsize if available.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this stat fix, and the related df fix
coming in the next gnulib update.
* THANKS.in: Add Nikolaus.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_resource.
* src/sort.c: Remove #if HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H guard around inclusion
of <sys/resource.h> and move the inclusion "up" into the alphabetized
list of its peers. This also avoids a failure of the
sc_prohibit_always_true_header_tests syntax-check rule.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Remove sys/resource.h.

This change affects only systems that have neither *at function support
nor the /proc/self/fd support required to emulate those *at functions.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Call faccessat
unconditionally. Thus we no longer need euidaccess_stat, which was
the sole function used here to operate on a full relative file name.
Remove full_name parameter and update caller.
* lib/euidaccess-stat.h: Remove file.
* lib/euidaccess-stat.c: Likewise.
* m4/euidaccess-stat.m4: Likewise.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/euidaccess-stat.c.
* m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Don't require gl_EUIDACCESS_STAT.
Prompted by a report from Bruno Haible that the rm/deep-2
test was failing on HP-UX 11.31.

now that automake rejects it.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS, gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS):
Remove unnecessary backslashes and add quotes around multi-line
argument lists.
|
|
Interix provides faster replacements for getgr{gid,nam,ent} where
group member information is not fetched from domain controllers.
This makes 'id' usable on domain controlled interix boxes.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for _nomembers functions.
* src/system.h: Redefine function to _nomembers when available.
|
|
* src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Adjust definition so that it is enabled
also on AIX 7.x systems that provide statvfs64 and no statvfs.
[USE_STATVFS && ! STAT_STATVFS && STAT_STATVFS64] (STATFS): Define
to statvfs64 in that precise case.
* m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Adjust the condition
here to match the new one in stat.c, to keep them in sync.
Reported by Bruno Haible. For details, see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1668

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Use fdatasync only if declared.
MacOS X 10.7 has an fdatasync that is not declared, and is rumored to
be ineffective. (Bug#9141)
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove gl_CLOCK_TIME as it's already
done by the gettime gnulib module.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SETRLIMIT.
* src/timeout.c: If the child exited with a signal,
raise that signal to the timeout process itself,
so that callers may also see the signal status.
Use setrlimit to disable core dumps for the timeout
process, which would be generated by some signals.
|

Run "make update-copyright".

* cfg.mk (LINE_LEN_MAX, FILTER_LONG_LINES): New macros.
(sc_long_lines): New rule.

Reformat to fit within 80 columns.
* doc/Makefile.am (BAD_POSIX_PERL): New macro.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Reword slightly, to make menus and
index lines shorter.
* src/md5sum.c: Redo --help output so that it fits within 79
columns, since that's a bit more portable and all the other --help
strings fit in 79 columns.
|
|
With it, we can remove the two sole tests of HAVE_TERMIOS_H.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add termios.
* src/ls.c: Don't test HAVE_TERMIOS_H.
* src/stty.c: Likewise.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Remove configure-time
test for termios.h.
|
|
* lib/Makefile.am (libcoreutils_a_SOURCES): Remove xmemxfrm.c,
xmemxfrm.h.

* po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/xmemxfrm.c.
* src/sort.c: Don't include xmemxfrm.h.
(cmp_hashes): Remove.
(xstrxfrm): New function.
(compare_random): If a line contains NULs, don't create a big
buffer that contains the strxfrm output of each string in the line.
Instead, accumulate checksums and differences as we go, so that
at any one time we have to store at most the output of a single
strxfrm call when processing the line. This removes the need for
an memxfrm function.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf: Include the new module
* gl/lib/fadvise.c: Provide a simpler interface to posix_fadvise.
(fadvise): Provide hint to the whole file associated with a stream.
(fdadvise): Provide hint to the specific portion of a file
associated with a file descriptor.
* gl/lib/fadvise.h: Redefine POSIX_FADV_* to FADVISE_* enums.
* gl/modules/fadvise: New file.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove the no longer needed posix_fadvise check.
* .x-sc_program_name: Exclude test-fadvise.c from this check.
* gl/tests/test-fadvise (main): New test program.
* gl/modules/fadvise-testss: A new index to reference the tests.
* src/sort.c (stream_open): Use the new interface.
* src/dd.c (iwrite): Likewise.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Don't require AC_SYS_LARGEFILE,
now that gnulib does it.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Don't test for headers
that gnulib now provides: sys/ioctl.h, sys/time.h, sys/wait.h.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (ARGMATCH_DIE): Use usage(EXIT_FAILURE), not usage(1).
* .x-sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit: Remove *.m4 exemption that was
masking the above.

Tell the system that we'll access input sequentially,
so that we more efficiently process uncached files in a few cases:
Reading from faster flash devices. E.g. 21 MB/s key:
NORMAL 31.6s (26.8 user)
SEQUENTIAL 27.7s
WILLNEED 27.7s
Processing in parallel with readahead when using a small 1M buffer:
NORMAL 24.7s (21.1 user)
SEQUENTIAL 22.7s
WILLNEED 25.6s
A small benefit when merging:
NORMAL 25.0s (16.9 user)
SEQUENTIAL 24.6s (16.6 user)
WILLNEED 38.4s (13.1 user)
Note WILLNEED is presented above for comparison to show it
has some unwanted characteristics due to its synchronous
prepopulation of the cache. It has a good benefit on a
mechanical disk @ 80MB/s and a multicore system with
competing processes:
NORMAL 14.73s
SEQUENTIAL 10.95s
WILLNEED 05.22s
However the scheduling differences causing this result
are probably best explicitly managed using `nice` etc.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): check for posix_fadvise().
* src/sort.c (fadvise_input): A new function to apply
the POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint to an input stream.
(stream_open): Call the above function for all input streams.

Enabled when coreutils is configured with --with-tty-group.
Based on a patch written by Piotr Gackiewicz. Details at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/454261
* src/who.c (is_tty_writable): A new function returning true if a TTY
device is writable by the group. Additionally it checks the group to be
the same as TTY_GROUP_NAME when compiled with --with-tty-group.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Introduce a new configure option --with-tty-group.
* NEWS: Mention the change.

* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_ADDR): Fix regression introduced in commit
6beca4248.
* THANKS: Update.
Reported by Adam Sampson.

Configure is supposed to detect insufficient XATTR support.
However, if a system has the required headers, but no library,
the configure script would mistakenly enable USE_XATTR.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): If the attr_copy_file function
is not found, don't set USE_XATTR.
Nelson Beebe reported a link failure on RHEL 5.3.
Also, do not let the combination of --disable-xattr and
a stray LIB_XATTR environment setting perturb the build.
* NEWS (Build-related): Mention it.

Use this command:
git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \

|
* README-hacking: Suggest to use ./configure --quiet so that
any warnings are easily noticed.
* m4/gmp.m4 (cu_GMP): Warn if libgmp is not available.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Normalize the libcap warning.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Warn if libattr is not available.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isblank.
* src/system.h (isblank): Don't define.
* m4/check-decl.m4: Don't check for isblank declaration.
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
|
|
Setting the envvars, LIB_FDATASYNC, LIB_XATTR or LIB_CRYPT
could cause a configure-time and/or build-time malfunction.
Typically, a configure-time function-in-library test is performed
via code like this:
LIB_VAR=
AC_SUBST([LIB_VAR])
prefix_saved_LIBS=$LIBS
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([FUNC], [LIB_NAME],
[test "$ac_cv_search_FUNC" = "none required" ||
LIB_VAR=$ac_cv_search_FUNC])
LIBS=$prefix_saved_LIBS
However, in each of the files affected by this change, the LIB_VAR=
initialization was omitted. Thus, when set in the environment, its
value would propagate into generated Makefiles when FUNC is not found
in LIB_NAME.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Initialize AC_SUBST'd var
* m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Likewise.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Likewise.
|
|
* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Simplify by using lutimens.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Drop utimensat; gnulib does
this for us.
* tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Recognize lutimes support.
|
|
* src/system.h (EDQUOT, EISDIR, ENOSYS, EOVERFLOW, F_OK, X_OK)
(W_OK, R_OK): Delete; macros provided by gnulib.
(includes): Gnulib guarantees both <time.h> and <sys/time.h>, in
either order.
(free, malloc, memchr, realloc, getenv, lseek): Delete, gnulib
guarantees these declarations.
* m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS): Delete checks now done by
gnulib.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add faccessat. Replace strdup
with strdup-posix.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Revert previous change, now
that gnulib does it for us.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Use faccessat in
more situations.
|
|
where N is the depth of the deepest hierarchy rm is processing.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Use faccessat to
avoid O(N)-per-entry cost of calling euidaccess.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for faccessat.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): The code to handle configure-time
enabling or disabling of libcap support was broken. It would treat any
libcap configure option as --disable-libcap because it doesn't check
$enableval at all. This change makes sure we do the sane thing:
--disable-libcap -> disable and don't run any tests
--enable-libcap -> run tests and fail if not found
default -> run tests and warn if not found
