Fix similar problems in head, od, split, tac, and tail.
Reported by George Shuklin in: http://bugs.gnu.org/18621
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/head.c (elseek): Move up.
(elide_tail_bytes_pipe, elide_tail_lines_pipe): New arg
CURRENT_POS. All uses changed.
(elide_tail_bytes_file, elide_tail_lines_file):
New arg ST and remove arg SIZE. All uses changed.
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file):
* src/od.c (skip): Avoid optimization for /sys files, where
st_size is bogus and st_size == st_blksize.

(copy_to_temp): Return size of temp file. All uses changed.
* src/tac.c (tac_seekable):
* src/tail.c (tail_bytes):
* src/wc.c (wc):
Don't trust st_size; double-check by reading.
* src/wc.c (wc): New arg CURRENT_POS. All uses changed.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add tests/misc/wc-proc.sh,
tests/misc/od-j.sh, tests/tail-2/tail-c.sh.

* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Take the invariant PROGRAM_NAME
as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs
and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place. Note the
man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program
prefix is used.
* NEWS: Mention the improvements in references to online documentation.

(_single_binary_main_arch):
* src/coreutils-dir.c, src/coreutils-vdir.c (_single_binary_main_ls)
(_single_binary_main_dir, _single_binary_main_vdir):
Omit ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN. Return a value.
* src/coreutils.c (SINGLE_BINARY_PROGRAM): Omit ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
(launch_program): Now static.
* src/dd.c (finish_up): New function.
(quit, main): Use it.
* src/getlimits.c (main): Return a proper exit status.
* src/test.c (test_main_return): New macro.
(main): Use it.
* src/logname.c, src/nohup.c, src/whoami.c:
Use 'error' to simplify exit status in 'main' function.
* src/yes.c (main): Use 'return' rather than 'error' to exit,
so that GCC doesn't suggest ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
|
|
If we can't output more data, we should immediately
diagnose the issue and exit rather than consuming all
of input (in some cases).
* src/tail.c (xwrite_stdout): Also diagnose the case where
only some data is written. Also clearerr() to avoid the
redundant less specific error from atexit (close_stdout);
* src/head.c (xwrite_stdout): Copy this new function from tail,
and use it to write all output.
* tests/misc/head-write-error.sh: A new test to ensure we
exit immediately on write error.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
|
|
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: With inotify, when a file is initially absent,
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.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Use the new diagnostic which also causes
this test to pass on systems without inotify.
|
|
Previous behavior failed to read contents of a (re)appearing file,
when symlinked by tail's watched file. Also we now diagnose other
edge cases when running in inotify mode, where an initially
missing or regular file changes to a symlink.
* src/tail.c (main): If any arg is a symlink, use polling mode.
(recheck): Diagnose the edge case where a symlink appears during
inotify processing.
* tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Test the fix. Mention the edge cases.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Also slightly rephrase some descriptions for extra clarity, and
add more consistent indentation.
* src/df.c (usage): Semicolon, no final period.
* src/du.c (usage): Likewise, plus indentation and clarifying words.
* src/ls.c (usage): Semicolon, rephrasings, added parentheses for
clarity, indentation.
* src/rm.c (usage): Semicolons.
* src/tail.c (usage): Adjust -f description to prefer explanatory
language instead of option syntax.
|
|
Also do not end option descriptions with a period, properly indent
continuation lines, and make some tiny clarifications.
* src/du.c (usage): Lowercase after semicolon.
* src/ls.c (usage): Semicolons instead of periods, small rephrasing
and two hyphens for clarity, proper indentation.
* src/mktemp.c (usage): Semicolons and lowercase.
* src/od.c (usage): Semicolons.
* src/ptx.c (usage): Use the standard phrase, clarify default option.

* src/split.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase, no final period.
* src/stat.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase.
* src/tail.c (usage): Proper indentation, one shorter rephrasing,
semicolons, no final periods.
* src/timeout.c (usage): Properly indent, semicolons, no final periods.

* configure.ac: If clang, add -Wno-format-extra-args and
-Wno-tautological-constant-out-of-range-compare.
* gl/lib/rand-isaac.c (ind):

Rewrite to avoid casts that clang dislikes.
It's good to avoid casts anyway.
* src/expr.c (integer_overflow): Declare only if it exists.
(die): Remove; unused.
* src/ls.c (dev_ino_push): New function, replacing ...
(DEV_INO_PUSH): ... this removed macro. All uses changed.
(decode_switches): Rewrite "str"+i to &str[i].

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/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:

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".
|
|
Run this (twice):
git grep -E -l '`.+'\' src/*.[ch] \
|xargs perl -pi -e 's/`(.+?'\'')/'\''$1/'
|
|
Run this (twice):
git grep -E -l '`[^ ]+'\' src/*.c \
|xargs perl -pi -e 's/`([^ ]+'\'')/'\''$1/'
|
|
All affected lines end with \ or \n\, so run this command
until it produces no new changes (4 times):
git grep -E -l '`[^ ]+'\''.*\\' src \
|xargs perl -pi -e 's/`([^ ]+'\''.*\\)/'\''$1/'
|
|
Run this command:
perl -0777 -pi -e \
's/fprintf \(stderr, _\("Try `%s --help.*\n.*;/emit_try_help ();/m'\
src/*.c
|
|
Without this change, gcc's -Werror=format would complain that
the '%lx' format requires 'long unsigned int', not 'int'.
* src/tail.c (fremote): Use a temporary variable.
|
|
Run "make update-copyright".
|
|
* src/tail.c (start_lines): Do not form potentially-invalid address.
Use safe_read's return value as a pointer offset only after
ensuring that it is not SAFE_READ_ERROR (size_t)(-1).
Spotted by coverity.
Also, move declaration of "p" to be closer to first use.

Before, we would use inotify in that case, which would work as long
as updates were taking place locally, but not at all when remote.
Move hard-coded list of known remote FS types into a more
maintainable table in stat.c, alongside the list of FS
names and magic numbers. Generate a new is_local_fs_type function.
* src/Makefile.am (fs-is-local.h): New rule, generated file.
* src/extract-magic: Revamp to parse local/remote keyword after
each magic number in src/stat.c's case statements.
Accept new --local option.
* src/.gitignore: Ignore the generated fs-is-local.h.
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY]: Include fs-is-local.h.
(fremote) [HAVE_INOTIFY]: Use the new function in place of
the switch stmt with hard-coded list of FS types.
Emit a warning when processing a file on a file system of unknown type.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
Suggested by Sven Breuner.
|
|
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add a case: fhgfs, 0x19830326.
* src/tail.c (fremote): Add S_MAGIC_FHGFS.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Update the entry for GPFS to mention FhGFS, too.
Reported by Sven Breuner.
|
|
Because tail's fremote function did not designate GPFS as
a remote file system type, tail -f would mistakenly attempt
to use inotify, which cannot work with a remote file system.
* src/tail.c (fremote): List GPFS as a remote file system type.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/646022.
|
|
* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Increase *READ_POS (not READ_POS)
by the number of bytes read. This is a real bug that happens
to have no consequence in practice. First, this code is exercised
only when tailing-forever a non-regular file by bytes, and with a
start-relative offset, e.g., "mkfifo f; tail -f -c +3 f", but even
then, the invalid READ_POS value does not influence how tail works.
It is stored in the File_spec.size member, but that member is not
used at all in tail_forever_inotify, and in tail_forever, it is
used only when the File_spec refers to a regular file.
|
|
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY] (inotify_wd_mask): Declare static.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Just as without inotify,
tail --follow=name now terminates when the last tailed-by-name file
is unlinked or moved aside. This bug was introduced on 2009-06-15
via commit ae494d4b, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
Reported by Tim Underwood in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/22286
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
* tests/tail-2/follow-name: Test for this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Mention it.
* src/tail.c (usage): Likewise.
(tail_forever_inotify): Clarify comment.
|
|
* src/tail.c (fremote): Do not print a diagnostic when
fstatfs (pipe_FD, &buf) fails, as it now does on linux-2.3.38.
This avoids the spurious failure of tests/misc/tail's f-pipe-1
test, when running in input-from-pipe mode.
|
|
Run "make update-copyright".

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

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.

Those options are useful only on systems that lack inotify support
and in the unusual event that a system with inotify support must
resort to polling.
* src/tail.c (usage): Note that the --max-unchanged-stats=N and
--sleep-interval=N options are rarely useful on systems with
inotify support.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Likewise.
|
|
src/tail.c (main): As an optimization, don't bother checking
for stdin or remote files, when ---disable-inotify is specified.
To improve the fix in commit 61b77891, set the disable_inotify
flag when we fall back to polling, so that we recheck remote files.
NEWS: Mention the fix
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Handle the case where
tail --follow=name with inotify, is not able to add a watch on
a specified directory. This may happen due to inotify resource
limits or if the directory is currently missing or inaccessible.
In all these cases, revert to polling which will try to reopen
the file later. Note inotify returns ENOSPC when it runs out
of resources, and instead we report a particular error message,
lest users think one of their file systems is full.
(main): Document another caveat with using inotify, where we
currently don't recheck directories recreated after the
initial watch is setup.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: Fix the endless loop triggered by
the above issue.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/wait: Don't fail in the resource exhaustion case.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing: A new test for this failure mode
which was until now just triggered on older buggy linux kernels
which returned ENOSPC constantly from inotify_add_watch().
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
* src/tail.c (xlseek): Give INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND a variable name,
not a type name.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file, format_user_or_group_width): Likewise.
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Likewise.
(elide_tail_lines_seekable, main): Likewise.
[This change is not complete -- there are doubtless other uses
that can be updated in the same way.]
|
|
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY && !HAVE_SYS_STATFS_H]: Include <sys/vfs.h>.
|
|
Use this command:
git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \
| xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \
build-aux/update-copyright
|
|
* src/tail.c (usage): Reword tail -F description, so that it no
longer mentions details specific to the non-inotify implementation.
Also, join diagnostic strings (while staying under the 509-byte limit)
to ease formatting of translations. The latter was prompted by
a report from Stéphane Raimbault.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Update description here, too.
|
|
This fixes a bug whereby tail -F would fail to track changes
to a file that was a target of a rename, and when the source of
the rename was another tailed file.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Ensure the wd is not already
present in the hash table before trying to add it. When a new watch
descriptor is added to the `wd_to_name' hash table, check that it is
not already present. If it is present then remove the previous element.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Avoid modifying fdspec->wd while
it is in the wd_to_name hash table. Once it is removed, it can be
added using the new `wd' as key for the hash table. This fixes the
abort-inducing bug reported by Rob Wortman in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/19372
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): s/wd_table/wd_to_name/
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Do not use f[i] in a context
where i may be larger than the largest valid index. In the final
"if" clause in which we'd remove an inotify watch, we might have
used f[n_files]. Use fspec instead, since it is guaranteed to
be defined.
|
|
* tail.c (struct File_spec): Rearrange struct members to decrease
size by 8 bytes to 76,96 on i686,x86_64 respectively.
|
|
* src/tail.c (fremote): Add a comment.
Move definition "up" to precede first use, so we can
remove its prototype and the #if..#endif around each use.
(any_remote_file): Rename from any_remote_files.
|
|
* src/tail.c (struct File_spec): Add a flag to record if file is remote.
(recheck): If we're using inotify then check if the file has gone remote
and if so, drop it with a warning.
(any_remote_files): A new function to check for any open remote files.
(tailable_stdin): A new function to refactor the check for whether
a tailable file was specified through stdin.
(fremote): A new function to check if a file descriptor
refers to a remote file.
(tail_forever_inotify): Add some comments.
(tail_file): Record if a file is remote when initially opened.
(main): Disable inotify if any remote files specified.
Also document the caveat about remounted files not
being noticed by inotify.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
This bug showed up via valgrind as a "Conditional jump or move
depends on uninitialized value(s)" error.
* src/tail.c (ignore_fifo_and_pipe): New function.
(main): Use it only when tailing forever.
The code to compute n_viable and mark some F[i] as ignored would call
isapipe on an uninitialized file descriptor. But n_viable and those
.ignored marks are useful/used only when tailing forever. This bug
was introduced via commit f0ff8c73 (7.6), "tail: make the new
piped-stdin test as portable as the old one".
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
