2007-12-04Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,Jim Meyering
now that it's provided by unistd.h. * src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/dd.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise.
2007-12-01Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the "sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
2007-12-01Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges. * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience. (owner_failure_ok): New function. (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown. Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat. All callers changed. * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the old chown_privileges. * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2007-11-29Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon or fsetfilecon fail.
2007-11-24"cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.Lasse Collin
* NEWS: Mention this new feature. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID, when initial fchown/lchown fails. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
2007-11-22Quiet warnings about unused parameters.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (set_author) [!HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]: "Use" each of the parameters.
2007-11-22cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this change. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior. * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h". (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink, don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially dangerous). * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]: New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum" members together. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-11-15Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".Jim Meyering
Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink differently in move mode. In move mode, the only way the added O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
2007-10-07Avoid a used-uninitialized error.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't overload "use_stat".
2007-10-02Never copy through a symlink that cp has just created.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When same-file detection requires 'stat'ing the destination file, also 'lstat' it and ensure that it wasn't the destination of a preceding copy operation. This bug was introduced on 2007-06-18. * tests/cp/abuse: New test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add abuse.
2007-09-24copy.c: Remove definitions of factored-out functions.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c: Include "file-set.h". (seen_file, record_file): Remove functions that I factored out on 2007-08-23.
2007-08-28Reflect renaming: mreadlink-with-size -> areadlink-with-size.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf: Update module name. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update header and function names. * src/ls.c (get_link_name): Likewise. * src/readlink.c (main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_stat): Likewise.
2007-08-23Move functions from copy.c into new modules, since ln needs them, too.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add file-set. * gl/lib/file-set.c (record_file, seen_file): Functions from copy.c. * gl/lib/file-set.h: Add prototypes. * gl/lib/hash-triple.c (triple_hash, triple_hash_no_name): (triple_compare, triple_free): Functions from copy.c. * gl/lib/hash-triple.h (struct F_triple): Define. From copy.c. Add prototypes. * gl/modules/file-set: New module. * gl/modules/hash-triple: New module. * src/Makefile.am (copy_sources): New variable. (ginstall_SOURCES, cp_SOURCES, mv_SOURCES): Use it. * src/copy.c: Include hash-triple.h. No longer include hash-pjw.h. (copy_internal): Don't pass a NULL third argument to record_file, since that function no longer accepts that. (record_file): Move this function to file-set.c. Along the way, remove the code to allow a NULL stat-buffer pointer. Adjust sole caller. (seen_file): Move this function to file-set.c. (struct F_triple): Move declaration to hash-triple.h. (triple_compare, triple_free, triple_hash, triple_hash_no_name): Move these functions to hash-triple.c. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-08-22* src/copy.c (DEST_INFO_INITIAL_CAPACITY): Correct a comment.Jim Meyering
2007-07-29Adjust indentation to reflect today's change.Jim Meyering
2007-07-29Attempt to copy a regular file, even if stat says it is empty.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Document this bug fix. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty. This reverts an optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0. Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file, on e.g., linux-2.6.20. * tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file. Test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-zero-len. Reported by Dan Berrangé.
2007-07-23Update all copyright notices to use the newer form.Jim Meyering
2007-07-19"cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mvJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Perform "update" check before the possible interactive prompt. Reported by zeno_AT_biyg_DOT_org in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/248591> * tests/mv/update: Add tests for the above. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2007-07-10Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.Jim Meyering
2007-06-18A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cpPaul Eggert
--parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink. * NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles symlinks in file name components of source. * src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false. (lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience. * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise. * src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety in case the file got replaced by a symlink in the meantime. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise. * src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use ordinary C rather than an #if. * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience. (struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory, rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory twice (which can lead to races). (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use the cached stat value. (make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not just its mode. * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with cp --parents and symlinks.
2007-06-18Use mreadlink_with_size (doesn't exit), not xreadlink_with_size.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add readlink-with-size. Remove xreadlink and xreadlink-with-size. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mreadlink_with_size, not xreadlink_with_size. * src/ls.c (get_link_name): Likewise. * src/readlink.c (main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_stat): Likewise.
2007-06-15Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.Paul Eggert
* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race. Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the destination. (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the destination first, regardless of whether following source symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g., FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if the system calls would ordinarily do so. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference' is only for source files. * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for source files. (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks. * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior. Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host. Use sed alone instead of also using echo. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks. 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h". (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink, so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
2007-06-10bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling. * THANKS: Add Michael McLagan. Bug report from Michael McLagan in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/243588>.
2007-05-19Rename uses of futimens -> gl_futimens; glibc now declares the former.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Reflect renaming: futimens -> gl_futimens. * src/touch.c (touch): Likewise.
2007-04-02* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Initialize local "con", before callingJim Meyering
getfscreatecon, in case that function (or its inline stub) does not set it.
2007-03-29* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: New file. Test for the bug reported inJim Meyering
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-a-selinux. * tests/selinux: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add selinux. * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it. Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux. Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member. * src/copy.c (copy_reg, copy_internal): Implement the above. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it. FIXME: add an on-writable-NFS-only test
2007-03-29cp, mv, install: add SELinux support, but unlike with the Red HatJim Meyering
patch, mv and cp do not provide the "-Z context" option. * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>. (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function. (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination. (copy_internal): Likewise for new destinations. * src/copy.h (cp_options) [preserve_security_context]: New member. * src/cp.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>. (selinux_enabled): New global. (usage): Mention new --preserve=context option. (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use. (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT. (main): Remove an obsolete comment. If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux enabled, give a diagnostic and fail. * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>. Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled. * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option. Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option). Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now. Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h". (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals. (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define. (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context. (setdefaultfilecon): New function. (main): Honor new options. * src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2007-03-25Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entryPaul Eggert
with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing a directory tree that is full of symbolic links. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file. * src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h. (UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with.... (writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged. (overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it. * src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h. (D_TYPE): New macro. (DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros. (write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write any file. (prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE. All callers changed. Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is full of symbolic links. (DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove. (remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG. All callers changed.
2007-03-16* src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.Paul Eggert
(overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by Dan Jacobson in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html Output symbolic mode as well as numeric. * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
2007-03-03Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.Andrew Church
* NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under. Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
2007-03-01* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink withBruno Haible
xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update. * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update. * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update. * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
2007-02-22Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and [lint]: Initialize uintptr_t-1 bytes after the sentinel. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2007-02-22Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=alwaysJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth. This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being used-uninitialized.
2007-02-21* src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warningPaul Eggert
about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
2007-02-03* NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is created. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode" race fix in copy.c.
2007-01-03* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.Bruno Haible
Needed on MacOS X. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-30* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was renderedJim Meyering
inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
2006-12-07cp -p now clears special bits if it fails to preserve owner or groupPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed. (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed. (copy_internal): Likewise. * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-06* NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.Paul Eggert
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod. * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function. (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed. Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT. When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions were omitted, chmod them back in. (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions at first, then restore them after chowning the file. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function. * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2006-10-21* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we preferJim Meyering
mknod over mkfifo.
2006-10-19* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicte codePaul Eggert
when opening dst_name. (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copyPaul Eggert
a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing localPaul Eggert
variable src_type.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater thanPaul Eggert
7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
2006-10-14* NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2Jim Meyering
to dir1/dir2~. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying. Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>. * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
2006-09-24* NEWS: Mention these fixes.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file. (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places. Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
2006-09-20* NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i. * tests/cp/cp-i: New file. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5. * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2006-09-03Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.Paul Eggert
2006-08-28* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros likePaul Eggert
S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now. * src/cp.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
2006-08-27* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the lastJim Meyering
component of the source name is "." or "..". Reported by Andreas Schwab in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540. * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
