2009-04-27copy.c: factor out test for errno value indicating "unsupported"Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (errno_unsupported): New function. (copy_attr_error, copy_internal): Use it.
2009-04-27cp -a: diagnose failure when preserving xattr/context requiredOndřej Vašík
* src/copy.c (copy_attr_by_fs): Always print diagnostics when preserving xattrs is required. (copy_attr_by_name): Likewise. (copy_reg): Always print diagnostics when preserving SELinux context is required. (copy_internal): Likewise. Also, do not ignore ENOTSUP and ENODATA errors when preserving SELinux context is required. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-04-27mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystemOndřej Vašík
*src/copy.c: Do not warn about xattr-preservation failure when xattrs are not supported and preservation of xattrs is not explicitly required. Reported by Eric Sandeen in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/496142
2009-04-22cp: work around linux kernel bug: short-read != EOF on /procJim Meyering
Remove the optimization that avoided up to 50% of cp's read syscalls. Do not assume that a short read on a regular file indicates EOF. When reading from a file in /proc on linux [at least 2.6.9 - 2.6.29] into a 4k-byte buffer or larger, a short read does not always indicate EOF. For example, "cp /proc/slabinfo /tmp" copies only 4068 of the total 7493 bytes. This optimization (25719a33154f0c62ea9881f0c79ae312dd4cec7a, Improve performance a bit by optimizing away; 2005-11-24) appears to have been worth less than a 2% speed-up (and usually much less), so the impact of removing it is negligible. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't exit the loop early. * tests/cp/proc-short-read: New test, lightly based on a suggestion from Mike Frysinger, to exercise this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/proc-short-read. * NEWS (Improve robustness): Mention this change.
2009-03-11cp: make -a option preserve xattrs, but with reduced diagnosticsOndřej Vašík
* copy.c (copy_attr_by_fd): Reduce xattr diagnostics for 'cp -a'. (copy_attr_by_name): Likewise. * cp.c (main): Preserve xattrs with -a option, when possible. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document that xattrs are preserved with cp -a, with no added diagnostics. * NEWS: Mention the change. * tests/misc/xattr: Add tests for 'cp --preserve=all' and 'cp -a'.
2009-03-11cat,cp,mv,install,split: Set the minimum IO block size used to 32KiBPádraig Brady
This is following on from this change: [02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...] which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times, but also capped it at 32KiB. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead. * src/cat.c: Use it. * src/copy.c: ditto * src/split.c: ditto
2009-02-27cp: diagnose invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, once againJim Meyering
Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/... rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure. The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change [3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases] that introduced the bug: - remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); + if (!x->hard_link) + remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs. And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it. Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary to record the pair only for the first directory created for each source command-line argument. I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail. That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually) with the unwanted recursion. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter. (copy_dir, copy): Update callers. (copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop. * tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above. Reported by Mikael Magnusson.
2009-02-18cp: -a now preserves SELinux context, with reduced diagnosticsOndřej Vašík
* copy.c (copy_reg): Reduce SELinux context diagnostics for 'cp -a'. (copy_internal): Likewise * copy.h (cp_options): Add boolean reduce_diagnostics. * cp.c (usage): Say that --archive (-a) behaves like -dR --preserve=all. (cp_option_init): Initialize added reduce_diagnostics. (main): Add reduce_diagnostics for the -a option, and preserve SELinux context, if possible. * mv.c (cp_options_init): Initialize new cp_options booleans. * install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention those behaviour changes. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document --preserve=context, document that diagnostics are not shown for failures of non-mandatory attributes (just SELinux at the moment). * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Check not only failures, but succesful use of preserving SELinux context in cp.
2009-02-05avoid spurious parentheses/arith-op-related warnings from newer gccJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Use && rather than &. * src/stty.c (main): Likewise. * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.

(decode_preserve_arg): Handle new --preserve=xattr option. * src/mv.c: Always attempt to preserve xattr. * src/install.c: Never attempt to preserve xattr. * tests/misc/xattr: New test for xattr support in cp, mv and install. * tests/Makefile.am: Add the new test to list. * doc/coreutils.texi: Mention xattr support, new --preserve=xattr option. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2008-11-20cp: use far less memory in some casesJim Meyering
cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily. cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld. Details <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15081>. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link. Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree. Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set. * NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it. * tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.

2008-10-17maint: avoid warnings due to attribute warn_unused_resultJim Meyering
Now that a (void) cast no longer suffices to ignore warnings from gcc about uses of functions marked with the warn_unused_result attribute, we need an alternative. For the record, here's one of the ignorable warnings: "copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import ignore-value. * src/copy.c: Include "ignore-value.h". (set_owner): Use ignore_value in place of "(void)" casts, to ignore lchown and fchown failures. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise, to ignore lchown failure. * src/remove.c (preprocess_dir): Remove unnecessary "(void)" cast.

2008-03-19mv: never unlink a destination file before calling renameJim Meyering
While cp --preserve=links must unlink certain destination files, mv must never do that. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Pull the '! x->move_mode' test "up", so it affects the entire condition, and not just DEREF_NEVER mode. Reported by James Ralston in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/438076>. * tests/mv/atomic2: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic2. * NEWS: Mention the bug-fix.

2008-02-28Make copyright comments consistent.Jim Meyering
* src/mktemp.c: Update copyright to use newer form. Make first copyright lines consistent. Some did not end in ", Inc.". Due to that missing ", Inc" at end of line, emacs' copyright-updating code missed some opportunities. This corrects most of those, and adds some mistakenly omitted years. * src/chown-core.c: Adjust. * src/chown-core.h: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/copy.h: Likewise. * src/cp-hash.c: Likewise. * src/cp.c: Likewise. * src/group-list.h: Likewise. * src/mktemp.c: Likewise. * src/stat.c: Likewise. * tests/chmod/equal-x: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek: Likewise. * tests/envvar-check: Likewise. * tests/mv/into-self-2: 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.

2007-11-22cp: 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.

(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.

* 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.

2007-06-18A 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.

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.

(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.
