* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* src/ioblksize.h: Add updated test results and
increase value from 32KiB to 64KiB.
|
|
* src/id.c (main): Using -Z with -r or -n would fail with "id: cannot
print only names or real IDs in default format", in spite of that "-Z",
which specifies a non-default format. Now, it succeeds and ignores
the -n or -r option. The error was that the test for default_format
was not updated when I added the new --context (-Z) option in
commit v6.9-33-g5320d0f.
|
|
* src/id.c (main): Invocations like "id" and "id -G" would call getcon
to determine the current security context even though that result would
not be used. Similarly, when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Rearrange
conditionals and hoist the POSIXLY_CORRECT test so that we call
getcon only when necessary.
|
|
* src/id.c (main): Factor out uses of "argc - optind".
Move option-consistency checks to precede the potential getcon call.
|

... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions.
Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument
would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual
circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a
given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither
real nor effective.
To demonstrate, run this:
echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \
|su -s /bin/sh ftp - &
sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd
Those id -G commands printed the following:
50
50 9876
With this change, they print this:
50
50
Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them
print one ID too many.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass
egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API
requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups.
When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/misc/id-setgid: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
(root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too.

With the "--relative --symbolic" options, ln computes the relative
symbolic link for the user.
So, ln works just as cp, but creates relative symbolic links instead
of copying the file.
I miss this feature since the beginning of using ln.

system specific limits, and then we set PATH_MAX only if needed.
Note pathmax.h no longer uses pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX).
Note I didn't reinstate the comments about limits.h inclusion
order, because pathmax.h includes limits.h anyway.

* src/tac.c (temp_stream): Use fseeko, not fseek, on principle:
use the more modern interface. In general it is better to avoid
fseek due to its ABI-imposed 4GiB limit on the "offset", here its
use was fine because the offset was always 0. Using fseeko also
has the advantage of not triggering a GNULIB_POSIXCHECK warning.

Surprise! "du -x non-DIR" would print nothing.
Note that the problem arises only when processing a non-directory
specified on the command line. Not surprisingly, "du -x" still
works as expected for any directory argument.
When performing its same-file-system check, du may skip an entry
only if it is at fts_level 1 or greater. Command-line arguments
are at fts_level == 0 (FTS_ROOTLEVEL).
* src/du.c (process_file): Don't use the top-level FTS->fts_dev
when testing for --one-file-system (-x). It happens to be valid
for directories, but it is always 0 for a non-directory.

Notes:
Small seeks are not coalesced to larger ones,
like is done in cache_round() for example.
conv= is used rather then oflag= for FreeBSD compatibility.

* src/ls.c (errno_unsupported): Remove EBUSY, as this caters for
the case where ACLs can't be accessed because the _file_ is locked.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-06/msg00191.html
Also ENOENT is not safe to include as you get that if the _file_
is removed between the stat() and subsequent querying of xattrs.
|
|
Like the optimization to avoid always-failing getfilecon calls,
this change avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has
a nontrivial ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities".
When such a query fails for one file (indicating no support), we know it
will always fail that way for the affected device. With this change, we
have thus eliminated nearly all failing-unsupported getxattr syscalls.
* src/ls.c (has_capability) [!HAVE_CAP]: Set errno to ENOTSUP.
(errno_unsupported): Expand the list of E* errno values to match
that of lib/acl-internal.h's ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED macro.
(file_has_acl_cache, has_capability_cache): New functions.
(gobble_file): Use them in place of non-caching ones.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
Suggested by Sven Breuner in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/2187
While eliminating most getfilecon calls saved about 33%,
eliminating these other calls can save almost all of the
remaining ~67% cost, on some remote file systems.
|
|
On systems or file systems without SELinux support, all getfilecon
and lgetfilecon calls would fail due to lack of support. We can non-
invasively cache such failure (on most recently accessed device) and
avoid the vast majority of the failing underlying getxattr syscalls.
* src/ls.c (errno_unsupported): New function.
(selinux_challenged_device): New file-scoped global.
(getfilecon_cache, lgetfilecon_cache): New error-caching wrapper
functions.
(gobble_file): Use the caching wrappers, for when many *getfilecon
calls would fail with ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUPP.

(skip_via_lseek): Use new 'bytes' parameter and handle potential
'records' equals to zero. Update the bytes parameter when called with
'fdesc' equal to STDOUT_FILENO. Update the header comments.

In this case, we must explicitly tell the caller to unlink the
source file. Otherwise, at least the linux-3.x kernel rename
function would do nothing, as mandated by POSIX 2008.

Normally, mv detects a few subtle cases in which proceeding with a
