Reproduced under UBSAN with `tail -f <&-` giving:
tail.c:2220:18: runtime error: load of value 190,
which is not a valid value for type ‘_Bool'
* src/tail.c (tail_file): Ensure f->ignore is initialized
in all cases where we can't tail the specified file.
* tests/tail-2/follow-stdin.sh: Add a test case which
checks stderr has no UBSAN warnings.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/25041

In recent commit v8.25-93-g7fc7206 we used the f->remote flag
which wasn't set in all cases. This was detected with
ASAN giving this error when reading f->remote;
runtime error: load of value 190,
which is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
* src/tail.c (fremote): Query the system even without inotify.
(recheck): Always set f->fremote for valid files.

* src/tail.c (tail_file): On failure to open a file,
set ignore=true when --retry is not specified.
* tests/tail-2/assert-2.sh: Adjust to the new behavior.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add a test case. Also change
from `tail ... && fail=1` to the more robust `returns_ 1 ...`
construct which detects segfaults etc.
* NEWS: Document the fix.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever): The BLOCKING optimization is only
enabled for non regular files (which can't be truncated), so ensure
we don't enable that unless we've a valid file descriptor.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

* src/tail.c (tail_forever): Only read up to st_size on network
file systems to avoid the issue with a stale attribute cache
returning a smaller st_size than we have already read().
The was seen with glusterfs at least and caused the complete
file to be repeatedly output due to assuming the file was
truncated in this case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|

* src/tail.c (ignore_pipe_or_fifo): Mark the descriptor as -1
for pipes so that any_live_files() detects correctly that
the entry is no longer live.

which was not the case when inotify was not available.
* src/tail.c (any_live_files): Simplify, since the IGNORE

when that's actually the case. Only set the IGNORE flag
when ignoring a file indefinitely.

tests/tail-2/F-headers.sh and test/tail-2/retry.sh fail on
on remote file systems due to tail going into inotify mode
due to not being able to determine the remoteness of the
non existent files.

The character 'K' representing numeric user input can be confusing,
especially in the context where it can be suffixed by the multipliers
K, M, G, etc.
Use NUM instead.
* doc/coreutils.texi (head invocation): Replace @var{k} by @var{num}.
Also change @var{count} in the paragraph about the obsolete option
syntax.
(tail invocation): Likewise. Furthermore, adjust the option order to
alphabetical sorting.
* src/head.c (usage): s/K/NUM/ in as placeholder in the -c and -n
options. Furthermore, print the actual DEFAULT_NUMBER instead of the
hard-coded 10.
* src/tail.c (usage): s/K/NUM/ in as placeholder in the -c and -n
options. Add "[+]" to clarify that NUM may optionally be preceded by
this sign. Remove the redundant explanation of the optional '+' prefix
for NUM, as that is now clear from the option description above.

Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always"
methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells,
and better support copy and paste of presented names.
The "always" variant is used when the file name is
embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces.
* cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule
to suggest quotef() where appropriate.
(sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf().
* src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting
when needed. I.E. when shell character or ':' is present.
(quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote.
* src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote()
where appropriate.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

These strings are often file names or other user specified
parameters, which can give confusing errors in
the presence of unexpected characters for example.

* src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote().
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

* src/tail.c (fremote): No longer prompt the user to email
with the unrecognized file system constant, since we have
process in place to sync periodically with the latest Linux
constants, and the fall back polling mode is still fully functional.
|

Avoid the intermittent loss of "... has become inaccessible" messages.
That would cause tests/tail-2/assert.sh to fail sometimes,
mainly on uniprocessor systems.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Also monitor IN_DELETE
events on the directory, to avoid a dentry unlink()..open() race,
where the open() on the deleted file was seen to succeed after an,
unlink() and a subsequent IN_ATTRIB, was sent to tail. Note an
IN_ATTRIB is sent on the monitored file to indicate the change in
number of links, and we can't just use a decrease in the number of
links to determine the file being unlinked, due to the possibility
of the file having multiple links.

Since commit v8.23-19-g8defcee, main() will return,
rather than call exit(), this inducing "definitely lost"
warnings in valgrind's leak checker. That precludes using
the following to flag memory leaks:
valgrind --leak-check=full --error-exitcode=1 \
--errors-for-leak-kinds=definite

* 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.

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.

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.

we fstat(-1) for that file spec, thus recording an errnum of EBADF,
which caused the "has become accessible" diagnostic to be issued,
when the file first appears. Instead we avoid the fstat(-1) and
thus emit the more natural and consistent "has appeared" diagnostic.

As a side effect of the previous commit which fixes 'tail -f --retry'
to wait for a file to appear, tail would not exit when the last file
appears untailable and gives up on this file.
This can happen, for example, when the argument file name appears
as directory. Tail sets the 'ignore' flag of this file to true,
but instead of exiting the program, tail would continue the loop.
* src/tail.c (any_live_files): Change the function to return true
if any of the files is still tailable or if tail should continue to
try to check again.
(tail_forever): Change the condition to break the loop in the
"no files remaining" case, because now any_live_files() will care
about it, as mentioned above.
(parse_options): When --retry is used without any follow mode,
then reset reopen_inaccessible_files to false.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add test case.

The --retry option is indeed useful for both following modes
by name and by file descriptor. The difference is that in the
latter case, it is effective only during the initial open.
As a regression of the implementation of the inotify support,
tail -f --retry would immediately exit if the given file is
inaccessible.
* src/tail.c (usage): Change the description of the --retry option:
remove the note that this option would mainly be useful when
following by name.
(main): Change diagnosing dubios uses of --retry option:
when the --retry option is used without following, then issue
a warning that this option is ignored; when it is used together
with --follow=descriptor, then issue a warning that it is only
effective for the initial open.
Disable inotify also in the case when the initial open in tail_file()
failed (which is the actual bug fix).
* init.cfg (retry_delay_): Pass excess arguments to the test function.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add new tests.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Enhance the documentation
of the --retry option. Clarify the difference in tail's behavior
regarding the --retry option when combined with the following modes
name versus descriptor.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.

* src/tail.c (main): If -n0 or -c0 were specified without -f,
then no data would ever be output, so exit without reading input.
* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f.sh: Augment the related test with this case.

Each program with at least one long option which is marked as
'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that
option, should print a note about mandatory arguments.
Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than
literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing.
* src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function.
* src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs.
* src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c:
* src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c:
* src/kill.c, src/ln.c, src/ls.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c:
* src/mknod.c, src/mv.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c:
* src/pr.c, src/ptx.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c, src/sort.c:
* src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c:
* src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c:
Likewise.
* src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function
because at least one long option has a required argument.
* src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c:
* src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c:
Likewise.

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.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever): Close FD to avoid leak after a
failed fstat.
|
|
* src/tail.c (check_fspec): Save fstat-induced errno *before*
calling close_fd, not after. Otherwise, the close could well
clobber the global errno, making tail print an invalid diagnostic.
This could happen only with tail -f, and even then, only when
a valid file descriptor were to provoke fstat failure.

Run "make update-copyright".
