The --no-preserve=mode option did not do what its name implies:
it would mistakenly preserve permission mode bits.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* TODO: Remove an entry.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Add a condition to properly
handle the --no-preserve=mode option for files
(copy_internal): Add a condition to properly handle the
--no-preserve=mode option for directories.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a new boolean.
* src/cp.c (cp_option_init,decode_preserve_arg): Set the
new boolean value according to specified options.
* src/install.c (struct cp_options): Initialize the new boolean.
* src/mv.c (struct cp_options): Initialize the new boolean.
* tests/cp/preserve-mode.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/cp/link-preserve.sh (-a --no-preserve=mode): Adjust the

that is inherent in -a, as it should.
* tests/local.mk: Add the new test to the list.

This was originally attempted in commit v8.12-117-g5a647a0,
but reverted before release because of the unreliability
of disabling core dumps using setrlimit() on Linux kernels.
This new version instead uses prctl() where available to
more reliably disable core dumps for the timeout process.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SETRLIMIT and HAVE_PRCTL.
* src/timeout.c (disable_core_dumps): A new function
that disables coredumps using prctl or setrlimit if available.
(main): If the child exited with a signal and we can
disable core dumps, then raise that signal to the timeout
process itself, so that callers may also see the signal status.
Also print a message indicating when the monitored command
dumped core, as that information is lost in the signal
propagation through timeout.

* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): A new bitmask combining all STATUS_
options, thus used to suppress all informational output.
(struct symbol_value statuses): Expose the "none" option,
corresponding to the STATUS_NONE bitmask above.
(print_stats): Return early if STATUS_NONE is specified.
Also move the call to gethrxtime() down so that it's only
called when needed.
(usage): Describe the new options.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the new option works.

Teach tail -f that it must use polling on vmhgfs file systems, and
let stat -f --format=%T report the file system type name, "vmhgfs".

* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
* THANKS.in: Update.

* src/remove.c (excise): The change in commit v8.19-107-gccbd3f3 made
the "rm -rf D" (for unreadable dir, D) diagnostic worse on Solaris 10:
-rm: cannot remove 'D': Permission denied
+rm: cannot remove 'D': File exists
That happened because unlinkat would fail with EEXIST there, given
an unreadable directory, which made the two tests, tests/rm/unread2
and tests/rm/unreadable fail. Accommodate the EEXIST case, too.

The renaming from BLOCKS to N was done in v8.15-38-g140eca1,

from the documentation.
* src/dd.c (usage): Remove the word BLOCKS.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.

When listing a directory containing dangling symlinks,
and not outputting a long format listing, and orphaned links
are set to no coloring in LS_COLORS, then the symlinks
would get no color rather than reverting to the standard
symlink color. The issue was introduced in v8.13-19-g84457c4
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use the standard method
to check if coloring is specified for orphaned symlinks.
The existing method would consider 'or=00' or 'or=0' as significant
in LS_COLORS. Even 'or=' was significant as in that case the
string='or=' and the length=0. Also apply the same change
for missing symlinks for consistency.
(gobble_file): Remove the simulation of linkok, which is only
tested in print_color_indicator() which now handles this directly
by keying on the LS_COLORS values correctly.
* tests/misc/ls-misc.pl: Add a test case.
* THANKS: Add the reporter.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

* src/seq.c (main): Adjust the initial arbitrary precision
seq_fast enablement checks to be more maintainable, and
a little more general, by allowing single character
separators to use seq_fast.
Also check again after the number arguments are processed,
to see if we can still use seq_fast, which while not
allowing arbitarly large integers, it will handle
integers of the form 10E10 etc.
(seq_fast): Use a specified separator character,
rather than hardcoding '\n'.

Handle non-negative whole numbers robustly and efficiently when
the increment is 1 and when no format-changing option is specified.
On the correctness front, for very large numbers, seq now works fine:
$ b=1000000000000000000000000000
$ src/seq ${b}09 ${b}11
100000000000000000000000000009
100000000000000000000000000010
100000000000000000000000000011
while the old one would infloop, printing garbage:
$ seq ${b}09 ${b}11 | head -2
99999999999999999997315645440
99999999999999999997315645440
The new code is much more efficient, too:
Old vs new: 55.81s vs 0.82s
$ env time --f=%e seq $((10**8)) > /dev/null
55.81
$ env time --f=%e src/seq $((10**8)) > /dev/null
0.82
* seq.c (incr): New function, inspired by the one in cat.c.
(cmp, seq_fast): New functions, inspired by code in nt-factor
by Torbjörn Granlund and Niels Möller.
(trim_leading_zeros): New function, without which cmp would malfunction.
(all_digits_p): New function.
(main): Hoist the format_str-vs-equal_width check to precede first
treatment of operands, and insert code to call seq_fast when possible.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the correctness fix.
(Improvements): Mention the speed-up.
* tests/misc/seq.pl: Exercise the new code.

The multiple-precision factoring code (with HAVE_GMP) was copied from
a now-obsolete version of GMP that did not pass proper arguments to
the mpz_probab_prime_p function. It makes that code perform no more
than 3 Miller-Rabin tests only, which is not sufficient.
A Miller-Rabin test will detect composites with at least a probability
of 3/4. For a uniform random composite, the probability will actually
be much higher.
Or put another way, of the N-3 possible Miller-Rabin tests for checking
the composite N, there is no number N for which more than (N-3)/4 of the
tests will fail to detect the number as a composite. For most numbers N
the number of "false witnesses" will be much, much lower.
Problem numbers are of the form N=pq, p,q prime and (p-1)/(q-1) = s,
where s is a small integer. (There are other problem forms too,
involving 3 or more prime factors.) When s = 2, we get the 3/4 factor.
It is easy to find numbers of that form that cause coreutils' factor to
fail:
465658903
2242724851
6635692801
17709149503
17754345703
20889169003
42743470771

85862644003
98275842811
114654168091
117225546301
...
There are 9008992 composites of the form with s=2 below 2^64. With 3
Miller-Rabin tests, one would expect about 9008992/64 = 140766 to be
invalidly recognized as primes in that range.
* src/factor.c (MR_REPS): Define to 25.

* src/remove.c (excise): Tighten the test for when we defer to an

v8.19-106-g57dd067. For more info, see http://bugs.gnu.org/12339#113

These commands would evoke an invalid diagnostic:
$ mkdir d && ln -s d s && env rm -r s/
rm: cannot remove 's': Too many levels of symbolic links
remove.c was stripping trailing slashes from "s/" before passing
the name to "rm". But a trailing slash may change the semantics,
and thus should not be stripped.
* src/remove.c (rm_fts): Do not strip trailing slashes.
* tests/rm/v-slash.sh: Adapt to new expected output.
* gnulib: Update to latest, for an improved fts.c that merely
normalizes trailing slashes.

The code deciding which coreutils programs to build (depending on
defaults, system capabilities, and user requests) is overly complex
and rather confusing. Let's begin simplifying it by removing some
non-strictly-necessary indirection variables.
* configure.ac: Adjust and improve few comments.
(OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS, OPTIONAL_PKGLIB_PROGS): Rename ...
(bin_PROGRAMS, pkglibexec_PROGRAMS): ... like these, respectively.
Ensure they aren't initialized in all Makefiles (which would lead
to spurious errors), by calling AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE on them.
* src/local.mk: Adjust and improve few comments.
(bin_PROGRAMS, pkglibexec_PROGRAMS): Simply define
to the corresponding '@substitution@'.
|
|
* src/.gitignore: Here, adding the '.dirstamp' file generated
by the C compilation rules.
|
|
Some of them can be simplified after the previous changes, some
of them have been downright broken by them, and need fixing.
* src/local.mk: Adjust some comments.
(EXTRA_DIST): Avoid SPACE-TAB sequences.
(src/dircolors.h, src/fs.h src/fs-is-local.h): Avoid 8-SPACES
indentation.
(_sc_check-AUTHORS): Move ...
* cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): ... here (superseding the old rule
with the same name, that was just a recursive invocation to it).
Adjust the paths of the invoked coreutils programs, to account
for the fact that this rule now runs in the top-level build dir,
not in the 'src/' subdir. Other minor cosmetic adjustments.
(ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Remove 'sc_option_desc_uppercase' and
'sc_man_file_correlation', since they no longer entail any
recursive make invocation.
(sc_option_desc_uppercase): Remove dependency from $(all_programs):
it isn't actually needed.
(check-programs-vs-x): Likewise. Also, fix heading comments to
truly reflect what this check does.
(all-progs-but-lbracket): Strip the 'src/' prefix from each entry
in the list of programs; this avoids a spurious failure in the
'check-programs-vs-x' recipe.
(.PHONY): No need to list targets 'sc_man_file_correlation' and
'sc_option_desc_uppercase': they are automatically declared phony
by 'maint.mk', being recognized as syntax checks.
|
|
* src/local.mk (dist-hook): Don't use this to ensure all the
programs, even the ones disabled by default or by the user, are
built (doing so is required to ensure the distributed manpages
are properly built). This would build those programs too late
anyway, causing errors like:
$ make dist
make dist-xz am__post_remove_distdir='@:'
make[1]: Entering directory `~/src/coreutils'
GEN man/arch.1
help2man: can't get '--help' info from man/arch.td/arch
make[1]: *** [man/arch.1] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `~/src/coreutils'
make: *** [dist] Error 2
Instead, ...
* man/local.mk (extra_man_x, extra_man_1): define these ...
($(extra_man_1)): ... and make this depend on $(all_programs).
(EXTRA_DIST): Adjust.
Adjust some comments as well.
|
|
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'src'. Ensure '.' is listed before
'tests' and 'gnulib-tests'.
(dist-hook): Adjust: we must now tweak the top-level Makefile.in
in $(distdir), not the one in the 'src/' subdir (which is gone).
(include): The '$(top_srcdir)/src/local.mk' file.
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Adjust the generation of the
automake input fragment.
* tests/Makefile.am (.built-programs): Adjust.
* cfg.mk (all_programs): Remove this convenience rule; it's no
longer needed, now that we can rely directly on the contents of
$(all_programs).
(sc_option_desc_uppercase, check-programs-vs-x:): Adjust lists
of prerequisites accordingly.
(all-progs-but-lbracket): Simplify definition accordingly.
* configure.ac ($OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Adjust definition.
($OPTIONAL_PKGLIB_PROGS): Likewise.
($NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): Tweak definition, for consistency.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'src/Makefile'.
* src/Makefile.am: Rename ...
* src/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. In
addition ...
(all_programs): ... remove this now-unneeded convenience target.

This is in preparation of future changes. Still, this patch
leaves the build system in a better shape; true, with more
indirections, but also with less convoluted and brittle hacks.
Unfortunately, this commit also makes some rebuild rules
incomplete; that will son be fixed by follow-up patches.
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: New, generates autoconf
and automake input fragments that define "lists" of all coreutils
programs, with further distinctions about how and when these
programs should be built (by default; if the system is capable
enough; only if the user asks for them explicitly). This is
useful to avoid duplicating the definitions of these lists among
several files (at least 'configure.ac' 'src/Makefile.am'); such
duplication had proved a source of inconsistencies and bugs in
the past. And the pre-existing way to avoid such duplication,
as implemented in 'configure.ac' before this patch, was overly
complex and brittle.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the new script.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_import_hook): Run the new script
to generate 'm4/cu-progs.m4' and 'src/cu-progs.mk'.
* .gitignore: Ignore those files.
* configure.ac: Include 'm4/cu-progs.m4', and decidedly simplify
most of the program lists definition and processing accordingly.
* src/Makefile.am: Similarly include 'src/cu-progs.mk', containing
definition of variables $(default__progs), $(no_install__progs)
and $(build_if_possible__progs). Accordingly ...
(no_install__progs, build_if_possible__progs): ... remove.
(EXTRA_DIST): Adjust definition.
Adjust a comment.

* src/Makefile.am (fs-def): Here: it's not portable to some non-GNU
make implementations.
|

* src/Makefile.am (fs-kernel-magic, fs-magic): Here, instead of
inlining its expansion "LC_ALL=C sort".
|

* src/Makefile.am (editpl): This.

For example, instead of factoring out the extra linker flags needed
by 'cp', 'mv' ind 'install' into a '$(copy_LDADD)' variable, factor
them out in a '$(copy_ldadd)' variable.
Partly a minor cleanup, partly a preparation for future changes.
* src/Makefile.am (copy_LDADD): Rename ...
(copy_ldadd): ... like this.
(remove_LDADD): Rename ...
(remove_ldadd): ... like this.
All uses adjusted. Some comments updated.

Before this change, a directory cycle induced by a bind mount

This also fixes a free-memory-read (FMR) bug: when fillbuf's realloc

the processing of that just-read longer line includes comparison
against the saved line in freed memory.

in the presence of parallelism, reallocated buffers, etc.
(sort): Invalidate any saved line before sorting a new batch.

sort -u could omit one or more lines of expected output.
This bug arose because sort recorded the most recently printed line via
reference, and if you were unlucky, the storage for that line would be
reused (overwritten) as additional input was read into memory. If you
were doubly unlucky, the new value of the "saved" line would not only
match the very next line, but if that next line were also the first in
a series of identical, not-yet-printed lines, then the corrupted "saved"
line value would result in the omission of all matching lines.
* src/sort.c (saved_line): New static/global, renamed and moved from...
(write_unique): ...here. Old name was "saved", which was too generic
for its new role as file-scoped global.
(fillbuf): With --unique, when we're about to read into a buffer that
overlaps the saved "preceding" line (saved_line), copy the line's .text
member to a realloc'd-as-needed temporary buffer and adjust the line's
key-defining members if they're set.
(overlap): New function.

When the combination of the file system options with given files or
devices does not lead to output, "df --total" would exit successfully
although it should not.
Examples:
$ df --total --type=xfs / # when / is not an XFS file system
$ df --total --local -t nfs DIR # nfs is remote per se ...
$ df --total -t qwerty /dev/sdb5 # typo in file system type
Furthermore, "df --total" would not print the error message "no file
systems processed" when the file argument does not exist or is otherwise
not accessible.
Example:
$ df --total __not_exist__
These 2 bugs are present since --total was added by commit
v6.12-166-gea2887b.
* src/df.c (get_dev): Do not set file_systems_processed to true when
force_fsu is true, i.e. when the row for the "total" line is processed.

* src/truncate.c (main): For a user who makes the mistake of
