* 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.

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): If sparse_copy() failed, then an
erroneous error about failing to extend the file would be reported.
|

* 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.

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.
|

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.

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.

* 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.

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.

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.

* src/stty.c (usage): Exclude unsupported options from --help,
which for example impacts the "dsusp" and "cdtrdsr" options on Linux.

"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".

* src/dircolors.c (main): Parenthesize !VAR as LHS to "<",
to avoid triggering gcc's new -Wlogical-not-parentheses warning.

Following on from commit v5.92-729-g130dd06, also avoid
the erroneous directory hardlink warning with -H.

for command line arguments.
* tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Augment the test case.
* NEWS: Augment the news entry.

* 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

specified directory case, and the existing multiply specified file case.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

* 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

working directory of the execvp()ed program when a "/"-like
argument was passed: now expect it to be "/" - unless --skip-chdir
is given.

Document that chroot(1) usually calls chdir("/") unless the new
--skip-chdir option is specified. Sort options.

This didn't seem to cause any invalid operation on GNU/Linux at least,
but depending on the implementation, mutex deadlocks could occur.
For example this might be the cause of lockups seen on Solaris:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-03/msg00048.html
This was identified with valgrind 3.9.0 with this setup:
seq 200000 > file.sort
valgrind --tool=drd src/sort file.sort -o file.sort
With that, valgrind would _intermittently_ report the following:
Destroying locked mutex: mutex 0x5419548, recursion count 1, owner 2.

Neither issue impacts on the correct operation of sort.
The issues were detected by both valgrind 3.8.1 and 3.9.0 using:
seq 200000 > file.sort
valgrind --tool=drd src/sort file.sort -o file.sort
For tool usage and error details see:
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/drd-manual.html
* src/sort.c (queue_insert): Unlock mutex _after_ signalling the
associated condition variable. Valgrind flags this with:
"Probably a race condition: condition variable 0xffeffffb0 has been
signaled but the associated mutex 0xffeffff88 is not locked by the
signalling thread."
The explanation at the above URL is:
"Sending a signal to a condition variable while no lock is held on
the mutex associated with the condition variable. This is a common
programming error which can cause subtle race conditions and
unpredictable behavior."
This should at least give more defined scheduling behavior.
(merge_tree_destroy): Make symmetrical with merge_tree_init() thus
destroying the correct mutex. Valgrind flags this with:
"The object at address 0x5476cf8 is not a mutex."

* src/df.c (get_disk): Avoid an inconsequential mem leak
spotted by coverity. Also s/duplicities/duplicates/.

Add the --enable-single-binary option to the configure file.
When enabled, this option builds a single binary file containing
the selected tools. Which tool gets executed depends on the value
of argv[0] which can be set implicitly through symlinks to the
single program.
This setup reduces significantly the size of a complete coreutils
install, since code from lib/libcoreutils.a is not duplicated in
every one of the more than 100 binaries. Runtime overhead is
increased due to more dynamic libraries being loaded, and extra
initialization being performed for all utils. Also initially
a larger binary is loaded from storage, though this is usually
alleviated due to caching and lazy mmaping of unused blocks,
and in fact the single binary should have better caching
characteristics.
Comparing the size of the individual versus single binary on x86_64:
$ cd src
$ size coreutils
$ size -t $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
text data bss dec hex filename
1097416 5388 88432 1191236 122d44 src/coreutils

When installing, the makefile will create either symlinks or
shebangs based on the --enable-single-binary setting, for
each configured tool. In this way, all the tools are still
callable individually, but they are all implemented by the same
"coreutils" binary installed on the same directory.
* .gitignore: Add new generated files.
* Makefile.am: New rules to generate build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh
and install symlinks.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* README: Add "coreutils" to the list of utils.
* bootstrap.conf: Regenerate src/single-binary.mk
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: New --list-progs option.
* build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh: Regenerate
* configure.ac: New --enable-single-binary option and other variables.
Disallow --enable-single-binary=symlinks with --program-prefix et. al.
* man/coreutils.x: Manpage hook.
* man/local.mk: Add manpage hook and fix dependencies.
* src/coreutils.c: Multicall implementation.
* src/local.mk: New rules for the single binary option.
* tests/local.mk: Add $single_binary_progs to support
require_built_() from init.cfg
* tests/misc/env.sh: Avoid the use of symlink to echo.
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Add exception for coreutils.
* tests/install/basic-1.sh: Really avoid using ginstall strip
functionality if there is an issue with the independent strip command.
* src/kill.c: Changes to call exit() in main.
* src/readlink.c: Likewise.
* src/shuf.c: Likewise.
* src/timeout.c: Likewise.
* src/truncate.c: Likewise.

Avoid complicated and error-prone parsing of df's output via
sed(1), cut(1), etc., and instead use df's more modern --output
option.
* src/ioblksize.h (in a comment): Simplify the extraction of the
device name of the mounted file system from df's output.
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev.sh: Likewise.
* tests/du/2g.sh: Likewise for the 'avail' column here.
Also avoid the deprecated use of "tail -NUM".
* tests/misc/stat-mount.sh: While at it, remove the determination
of the mount point of "." via df(1) plus sed(1) as it is unused
since commit v8.5-159-gf57cb37 anyway. Instead, improve this test
by verifying that the output of "stat -c%m ." at least starts with
a slash '/'.

Revert commit v8.22-131-g3e89d5b as even though POSIX
states that the default mode should be -L,
common practice for stand-alone pwd implementations
is to default to -P.
* src/pwd.c (usage): Retain mention of the default mode of operation.

On systems without libselinux, context_t is defined as an int type,
but defined as a pointer type by SELinux.
* src/chcon.c: Init with 0 rather than NULL to avoid warning.

The security_context_t type was always an artificial separation
from a standard char* string, and various libselinux using code
assumed both were synonymous. In addition, prior to libselinux 2.3
function declarations were incorrect wrt constness of this type.
Here we replace security_context_t with char*, and also
provide a wrapper function to cater for the const issue on
older libselinux.
* src/system.h (se_const): A new function to avoid and identify
the const issue on older libselinux.
* src/copy.c: s/security_context_t/char */.
* src/cp.c: Likewise.
* src/id.c: Likewise.
* src/install.c: Likewise.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
* src/mkfifo.c: Likewise.
* src/mknod.c: Likewise.
* src/runcon.c: Likewise.
* src/selinux.c: Likewise.
* tests/cp/no-ctx.sh: Likewise.
* src/chcon.c: Likesize.

Since context is verified by security_check_context() it can be used in
change_file_context() without converting to context_t every time.
* src/chcon.c (change_file_context): Use specified_context directly.
|
|
context_new() and _free() are used for checking validity of a
specified context. libselinux provides security_check_context
for this purpose so use it.
Note that context_new() can fail for a valid context - e.g. ENOMEM.
* src/chcon.c (main): Use security_check_context().
|
|
* src/pwd.c (main): Adjust default mode to be "logical"
and independent of the POSIXLY_CORRECT env var.
(usage): Mention the default mode of operation.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pwd invocation): Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/pwd-option.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
