2014-12-02du: handle sub-bind-mount cycles gracefullyBoris Ranto
This patch fixes the handling of sub-bind-mount cycles which are incorrectly detected as the file system errors. If you bind mount the directory 'a' to its subdirectory 'a/b/c' and then run 'du a/b' you will get the circular dependency warning even though nothing is wrong with the file system. This happens because the first directory that is traversed twice in this case is not a bind mount but a child of bind mount. The solution is to traverse all the directories in the cycle that fts detected and check whether they are not a (bind) mount. * src/du.c (mount_point_in_fts_cycle): New function that checks whether any of the directories in the cycle that fts detected is a mount point. * src/du.c (process_file): Update the function to use the new function that looks up all the directories in the fts cycle instead of only the last one. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: New test case that exhibits the described behavior. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new root test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2014-11-28build: fix missing casts from recent changePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (alloc_[io]buf): I committed a stale patch that omitted the casts needed on 32 bit. Identified by http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17610188
2014-11-27rm: fix prompted number of arguments to remove on some platformsPádraig Brady
"zu" was output on solaris 8 for example rather than the number, since coreutils-8.22. * cfg.mk: Disallow %z, since we don't currently use the gnulib fprintf module, so any usage with it is non portable. Also our usage with error() currently works only through an ancillary dependency on the vfprintf gnulib module. * src/rm.c (main): Use %PRIuMAX rather than %zu for portability. * src/dd.c (alloc_[io]buf): Likewise for consistency. * src/od.c (main): Likewise. * src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the rm bug fix. Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/19184
2014-11-25build: port new rule for coreutils.h to old BashPaul Eggert
Reported by Ted Carr in: http://bugs.gnu.org/19184 * src/local.mk (src/coreutils.h): Don't assume single_binary_progs is nonempty.
2014-11-24paste: fix possible truncated output with large filesTobias Stoeckmann
If '\n' was present at the size_t boundary of a file, then that and subsequent data would be discarded. * src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Avoid the overflow issue by changing the flag to a boolean rather than a count. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2014-11-24df: only suppress remote mounts of separate exports with --totalPádraig Brady
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Separate remote locations are generally explicitly mounted, so list each even if they share the same remote device and thus storage. However with --total keep the suppression to give a more accurate value for the total storage available. (usage): Expand on the new implications of --total and move it in the options list according to alphabetic order. doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Mention that --total impacts on deduplication of remote file systems and also move location according to alphabetic order. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add remote test cases. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/737399 Reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/920806 Reported in http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/866010 Reported in http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/901905
2014-11-23df: ensure -a shows all remote file system entriesPádraig Brady
commit v8.22-125-g9d736f8 printed placeholder "-" values for device names that didn't match the preferred device name for a particular mount point. However that was seen to erroneously suppress values for aliased host names or exports, common with remote file systems. * src/df.c (me_for_dev): Rename from devname_for_dev() so that we can determine the remoteness as well as the name for the preferred mount entry. (get_dev): Don't output place holder values when both current and preferred mount entries are remote. Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/737399
2014-11-22tests: add a case verifying mv on case insensitive file systemsPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Update the recent entry to also mention the avoidance of incorrectly unlinking a multi-hardlinked "source" file when presented with source and dest that only differ in case. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Mention the case issue with same_name(). * tests/mv/hardlink-case.sh: Test the issue on HFS+. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test case. * tests/mv/vfat: Remove an old related but unused test case.
2014-11-21doc: mention how to avoid newlines impacting ls -1Pádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (usage): Mention the -b and -q options in the -1 description. * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Likewise.
2014-11-21mv: fail when moving a file to a hardlinkBoris Ranto
We may run into a race condition if we treat hard links to the same file as distinct files. If we do 'mv a b' and 'mv b a' in parallel, both a and b can disappear from the file system. The reason is that in this case the unlink on src is called and the system calls can end up being run in the order where unlink(a) and unlink(b) are the last two system calls. Therefore exit with an error code so that we avoid the potential data loss. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Don't set unlink_src that was used by mv, and return false for two hardlinks to a file in move_mode. *src/copy.c (copy_internal): No longer honor the unlink_src option, used only by mv. NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * tests/cp/same-file.sh: Augment to cover the `cp -a hlsl1 sl1` case. * tests/mv/hard-verbose.sh: Remove no longer needed test. * tests/local.mk: Remove the reference to hard-verbose.sh. * tests/mv/hard-4.sh: Adjust so we fail in this case. * tests/mv/i-4.sh: Likewise. * tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self.sh: Likewise.
2014-10-27doc: mention that df -a includes duplicate file systemsPádraig Brady
* src/df.c (usage): Mention that duplicate file systems are shown with this option, not just dummy file systems. * doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): For the --all option, expand on the class of normally suppressed mount entries that it includes. Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/737399
2014-10-16chroot: call chroot() unconditionally to handle bind mounted "/"Pádraig Brady
* src/chroot.c (is_root): Adjust to compare canonicalized paths rather than inodes, to handle (return false in) the case where we have a tree that is constructed by first bind mounting "/" (thus having the same inode). (main): Unconditionally call chroot() because it's safer and of minimal performance benefit to avoid in this case. This will cause inconsistency with some platforms not allowing `chroot / true` for non root users. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Adjust appropriately. * NEWS: Mention the bug fixes. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/18736
2014-10-15copy: avoid an extraneous error when reporting errorsPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): If sparse_copy() failed, then an erroneous error about failing to extend the file would be reported.
2014-10-15cp: read sparse files more efficiently with non regular destinationPádraig Brady
* src.copy.c (copy_reg): Use fiemap to read sparse files, even if the output is not to a regular file. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2014-10-15cp: avoid speculative preallocation with --sparse=alwaysPádraig Brady
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.
2014-10-15copy: detect smaller holes than the copy buffer sizePádraig Brady
Previously cp would not detect runs of NULs that were smaller than the buffer size used for I/O (currently 128KiB). * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Use an independent hole_size, set to st_blksize, to increase the chances of detecting a representable hole, in a run of NULs read from the input. (create_hole): A new function refactored from sparse_copy() and extent_copy() so we have a single place to handle holes. (sparse_copy): Adjust to loop over the larger input buffer in chunks of the passed hole size. Also adjust to only call lseek once per hole, rather than at least once per input buffer. * tests/cp/sparse.sh: Add test cases for various sparse chunk sizes. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2014-10-08maint: avoid new signed overflow warning on 32 bitPádraig Brady
Prompted by http://hydra.nixos.org/build/15682577 with GCC 4.8.3 on i686 src/tac.c:557:6: error: assuming signed overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow] if (bytes_copied < 0) This happens because copy_to_temp() is inlined in tac_nonseekable(), thus reducing the comparison to the bytes_copied variable in copy_to_temp. Now this can't overflow on either 32 or 64 bit due to the protection of the preceding fwrite(). We could use a guard like "if (bytes_copied <= OFF_T_MAX - bytes_read)" to avoid the warning, but rather than a runtime branch, just use an unsigned type to avoid apparent signed overflow on systems where the accumulation is not promoted to unsigned (32 bit size_t, 64 bit off_t). * src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Increment an unsigned type to avoid the subsequent signed overflow warning.
2014-10-07wc: don't miscount /sys and similar file systemsPaul Eggert
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. Don't report error at EOF when not optimizing. * src/head.c, src/od.c, src/tail.c: Include "stat-size.h". * src/split.c (input_file_size): New function. (bytes_split, lines_chunk_split, bytes_chunk_extract): New arg INITIAL_READ. All uses changed. Use it to double-check st_size. * src/tac.c (tac_seekable): New arg FILE_POS. All uses changed. (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. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: * tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable.sh: * tests/split/b-chunk.sh: Add tests for problems with /proc and /sys files. * tests/misc/od-j.sh, tests/misc/wc-proc.sh, tests/tail-2/tail-c.sh: New files.
2014-10-02maint: avoid double semicolon syntax check failureBernhard Voelker
A syntax-check recently added to gnulib would trigger a failure (once gnulib gets updated here) for a statement introduced with commit v8.23-43-gaf2a4ed: src/dd.c:806: char const *time_fmt = _(", %g s, %s/s\n");; maint.mk: Double semicolon detected make: *** [sc_prohibit_double_semicolon] Error 1 * src/dd.c (print_xfer_stats): s/;;/;/
2014-09-30dd: new status=progress level to print stats periodicallyFederico Simoncelli
* src/dd.c: Report the transfer progress every second when the new status=progress level is used. Adjust the handling and description of the status= option so that they're treated as mutually exclusive levels, rather than flags with implicit precedence. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document the new progress status level. Reference the new level in the description of SIGUSR1. * tests/dd/stats.sh: Add new test for status=progress. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Change so status=none only takes precedence if it's the last level specified. * NEWS: Mention the feature.
2014-09-30dd: use more robust SIGUSR1 handlingPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (ifd_reopen): A new wrapper to ensure we don't exit upon receiving a SIGUSR1 in a blocking open() on a fifo for example. (iftruncate): Likewise for ftruncate(). (iread): Process signals also after a short read. (install_signal_handlers): Install SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 handler even if set to SIG_IGN, as this is what the parent can easily set from a shell script that can send SIGUSR1 without the possiblity of inadvertently killing the dd process. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Improve the example to show robust usage wrt signal races and short reads. * tests/dd/stats.sh: A new test for various signal races. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2014-09-24mv: use reflink=auto mode by defaultDavid Sterba
On some filesystems (BTRFS), moving a file within the filesystem may cross subvolume boundaries and we can use a lightweight reflink copy, similar to what cp(1) can do, which is faster than a full file copy. This is enabled by default because it's only an optimization for the fall back copy and does not break user expectations or usability. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Set the reflink mode to AUTO. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2014-09-23stty: only list supported options in --help and man pagesPádraig Brady
* src/stty.c (usage): Exclude unsupported options from --help, which for example impacts the "dsusp" and "cdtrdsr" options on Linux. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/18506
2014-09-23doc: fix use of "e.g." in stdbuf help messageMichal Nazarewicz
"E.g." stands for latin "exempli gratia" which is typically read as "for example". "E.g." does not stand for the word "example". As such, "for e.g." might be read as "for for example". Fix this usage by simply replacing "e.g." with "example".
2014-09-19maint: don't trigger gcc-5's new -Wlogical-not-parentheses warningJim Meyering
* src/dircolors.c (main): Parenthesize !VAR as LHS to "<", to avoid triggering gcc's new -Wlogical-not-parentheses warning.
2014-09-19cp: fix handling of -H with multiply specified source dirsPádraig Brady
Following on from commit v5.92-729-g130dd06, also avoid the erroneous directory hardlink warning with -H. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Also handle the -H case for command line arguments. * tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Augment the test case. * NEWS: Augment the news entry.
2014-09-19cp: issue correct warning and ignore duplicate source dirsPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Handle the case where we have the same destination directory as already encountered, which can only be due to the corresponding source directory being specified multiple times. * tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Add a test for the new multiply specified directory case, and the existing multiply specified file case. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2014-09-19doc: output correct --help references with --program-prefixPádraig Brady
* 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.
2014-09-19doc: ensure the correct texinfo nodes are referenced in --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): For commands that don't have a 1:1 mapping with the texinfo node names, provide a mapping to the correct node. * doc/coreutils.texi: Add some extra cross references noticed while checking this. Fixes http://bugs.debian.org/762092
2014-09-11cat: allow copying empty files to themselvesPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre in: http://bugs.gnu.org/18449 * src/cat.c (main): Allow copying an empty file to itself. * tests/misc/cat-self.sh: New test. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
2014-09-11doc: reference online info pages directly from man pagesPádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Add a direct reference to the corresponding online info documentation. Corresponding redirects were put in place on www.gnu.org to allow for concise links. * help2man: Adjust to add the "online help" link (and subsequent translation bugs link) to a "REPORTING BUGS" section. Also add the concise links for further information in --help to the "SEE ALSO" section, and dispense with the more verbose default for that.
2014-09-10doc: adjust reference to info nodes in man pagesPádraig Brady
old form: coreutils '$cmd invocation' new form: '(coreutils) $cmd invocation' The old form erroneously referenced the node for the 'coreutils' multi-call program. Now that problematic node name was renamed in commit v8.23-18-g72e470b, but the newer less ambiguous form also has the advantage of working with the pinfo viewer for example. Full discussion at http://bugs.gnu.org/18428 * man/local.mk: Adjust man page references to texinfo nodes. * src/system.h: Adjust --help references to texinfo nodes.
2014-09-10maint: include libstdbuf.c in extraneous headers checkPádraig Brady
* cfg.mk (sc_system_h_headers): Don't exclude libstdbuf.c. * src/libstdbuf.c: Remove headers already included in system.h.
2014-09-10build: adjust previous transformations on libstdbuf namePádraig Brady
* src/local.mk (transform): commit v8.23-22-g6f9b018 discarded all transformations on the libstdbuf.so name. Be more conservative and only exclude the $(program_transform_name) portion for libstdbuf.
2014-09-10build: avoid name transformations on libstdbufPádraig Brady
* src/local.mk (transform): Skip the transformation for libstdbuf since that should not be subject to name clashes, and we need to reference the name directly in LD_PRELOAD etc. * configure.ac: Add a comment on the coupling of pkglibexec_PROGRAMS to $(transform). Issue reported at https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44922 Improved by Nick Bowler

2014-08-23maint: ensure fiemap extents flags are compared correctlyPádraig Brady
* src/extent-scan.c (extent_scan_read): Following on from the flags size adjustment in commit v8.23-13-g1505b37, verify that the internal representation of the flags is never truncated which could happen in the unlikely case on 32 bit if the kernel flags ever expanded to 64 bits which is theoretically possible given the reserved space.
2014-08-22maint: avoid int64_t and similar types unless they're neededPaul Eggert
C11 doesn't require them, even POSIX doesn't strictly require the 64-bit versions, and it makes the code a bit clearer if they're used only when needed. * src/copy.c (write_zeros, extent_copy): * src/extent-scan.h (struct extent_info.ext_length): Use off_t, not uint64_t, for a value derived from a file offset. * src/extent-scan.h (struct extent_info.ext_flags) Prefer plain unsigned int to uint32_t where either will do. (struct extent_scan.ei_count): Use size_t, not uint32_t, for a value bounded by SIZE_MAX. * src/factor.c (MAGIC64, MAGIC63, MAGIC65): Remove unnecessary casts to uint64_t.
2014-08-21maint: refactor ls QUOTING_STYLE env var handlingYurij Goncharuk

2014-08-19df: improve mount point selection with inaccurate mount listPádraig Brady
v8.23 has a test failure on Fedora rawhide build servers in tests/df/skip-duplicate.sh. This was due to no '/' entry being output by df. That was due to an inaccurate /proc/mounts on the build environment as stat(/mnt/point) identified all these /proc/mounts entries as having the same device id: / rootfs / /dev/md1 /dev devtmpfs /run tmpfs /boot /dev/md0 /proc/filesystems /dev/md1 Since the device name on the right changes for a given id, that causes the entries to be continually replaced, thus resulting in no '/' entry. I'm guessing this is due to the mock environment bind mounting unneeded or sensitive items to a dummy file on the host / (/dev/md1) though have not looked into those details. So rather than relying on an accurate /proc/mounts, the attached patch takes a more conservative replacement approach and only swaps a new device entry when the mount point matches. That should handle all practical cases while also avoiding this situation. * src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Only replace entries with different device names when the mount point also matches.
2014-08-11cp: remove redundant possibly expensive heap deallocationRasmus Borup Hansen
If the hash structures grow sufficiently large so that the system is actively swapping, then the deallocation can take a significant amount of time. Details at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2014-08/msg00012.html * src/cp.c (main): Only call hash deallocation routines when in lint checking mode. * THANKS.in: Remove as now in the git author list.

2014-08-01chroot: perform chdir("/") again unless new --skip-chdir is specifiedBernhard Voelker
Since commit v8.22-94-g99960ee, chroot(1) skips the chroot(2) syscall for "/" arguments (and synonyms). The problem is that it also skips the following chdir("/") call in that case. The latter breaks existing scripts which expect "/" to be the working directory inside the chroot. While the first part of the change - i.e., skipping chroot("/") - is okay for consistency with systems where it might succeed for a non-root user, the second part might be malicious, e.g. cd /home/user && chroot '/' bin/foo In the "best" case, chroot(1) could not execute 'bin/foo' with ENOENT, but in the worst case, chroot(1) would execute '/home/user/bin/foo' in the case that exists - instead of '/bin/foo'. Revert that second part of the patch, i.e., perform the chdir("/) in the common case again - unless the new --skip-chdir option is specified. Restrict this new option to the case of "/" arguments. * src/chroot.c (SKIP_CHDIR): Add enum. (long_opts): Add entry for the new --skip-chdir option. (usage): Add --skip-chdir option, and while at it, move the other to options into alphabetical order. (main): Accept the above new option, allowing it only in the case when NEWROOT is the old "/". Move down the chdir() call after the if-clause to ensure it is run in any case - unless --skip-chdir is specified. Add a 'newroot' variable for the new root directory as it is used in a couple of places now. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Invert the last tests which check the working directory of the execvp()ed program when a "/"-like argument was passed: now expect it to be "/" - unless --skip-chdir is given. * doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Document the new option. Document that chroot(1) usually calls chdir("/") unless the new --skip-chdir option is specified. Sort options. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the fix. (New features): Mention the new option. * init.cfg (nonroot_has_perm_): Add chroot's new --skip-chdir option. * tests/cp/preserve-gid.sh (t1): Likewise. * tests/cp/special-bits.sh: Likewise. * tests/id/setgid.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/fail-2eperm.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/no-give-up.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise.

2014-07-19maint: fix message translation glitchesPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Sebastian Rasmussen in: http://bugs.gnu.org/18054 * gl/lib/randread.c (randread_error): Don't put multiple string literals inside _(...), as xgettext doesn't support that. * src/chroot.c (main): In diagnostics, don't bother to distinguish between setting the number of supplemental group IDs to a zero or to a nonzero value, as the underlying system call is the same either way. This also makes the string easier to translate correctly.
2014-07-18build: don't distribute generated coreutils.hPádraig Brady
This issue was identified by the manifest comparisons done by `make distcheck` * src/local.mk (noinst_HEADERS): Remove coreutils.h from this always distributed list. (nodist_src_coreutils_SOURCES): Add coreutils.h as its contents are determined at configure time, so pointless to distribute. (src_coreutils_SOURCES): Define explicitly so that the corresponding nodist_ variable is honored. (DISTCLEANFILES): Add coreutils.h to this rather than CLEANFILES, as its contents are determined at configure time.
2014-07-16numfmt: fix isblank() usage for some unibyte localesAssaf Gordon
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_int): Replace isdigit() with c_isdigit() to avoid locale concerns and -Wchar-subscripts warnings on cygwin. Remove the now redundant locale guard. (simple_strtod_human): Cast characters to unsigned so that the promoted int value passed to isblank() is positive, allowing it to work correctly for all characters in unibyte locales. Previously character 0xA0, i.e. non-breaking space, would be misclassified for example. (process_suffixed_number): Likewise. (skip_fields): Likewise. Both issues were triggered by the -Wchar-subscripts warning on GCC 4.8.3 on cygwin, due to the is*() implementations used there, but the issue is present on all platforms defaulting to signed chars. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
