2016-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
2015-10-08tests: adjust recent changes to virtual memory limitsPádraig Brady
* tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Account for timeout(1) when determining the required mem, as timeout has additional shared libs. This avoids the need for the hardcoded 4M addition to the limit. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Increase the base limit, to account for the fact that head(1) will allocate some additional mem in this case. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Remove mention of specific limits. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise. Reported by Dmitry V. Levin
2015-09-22maint: use adaptive approach for `ulimit -v` based testsBernhard Voelker
When configured with either 'symlinks' or 'shebangs' as value for the --enable-single-binary option, tests based on `ulimit -v` are skipped. The reason is that the multicall 'coreutils' binary requires much more memory due to shared libraries being loaded, and the size of the 'date' binary (~290KiB) compared to the multicall binary (~5MiB), of course. Finally, in the case of 'shebangs', the starting shell requires more memory, too Instead of using hard-coded values for the memory limit, use an adaptive approach: first determine the amount of memory for a similar, yet more trivial invocation of the command, and then do the real test run using that limit (plus some buffer in some cases). * init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Remove function. (get_min_ulimit_v_): Add function to determine the minimum memory limit required for a given command in an adaptive way. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): Change the name of the above function in the syntax-check rule. * tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Use the above function to determine the minimum memory required to run a command simpler than in the real test run. Use that limit plus a buffer there. While at it, change to list of commands in the subshell to fail also if the beginning `ulimit -v` fails. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise - doing it separately for each program under test.
2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
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.
2013-12-13tests: avoid unlikely deadlock in dd/no-allocate on some shellsPádraig Brady
* test/dd/no-allocate.sh: Use 'wait' to ensure we don't have multiple writers to the fifo, which was seen to trigger a very hard to reproduce deadlock with make -j20 on solaris. Also avoid writing to the fifo with the shell; instead using dd. (check_dd_seek_alloc): A new function refactored from the various cases, which are now constructed from function parameters.
2013-04-25tests: fix usage of require_ulimit_Pádraig Brady
* init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Renamed from require_ulimit_ as this only checks for ulimit -v support. Other uses of ulimit -t and ulimit -n in tests shouldn't cause false failures if not supported. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): A new syntax check to ensure that require_ulimit_v_() is used iff required. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add missing call to require_ulimit_v_. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/r-chunk.sh: Remove non mandatory require_ulimit_ call. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Adjust to renamed require_ulimit_v_. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise.
2013-04-14dd: avoid buffer allocations unless neededOndrej Oprala
* src/dd.c: Add new static global variable ibuf. (alloc_ibuf, alloc_obuf): New functions factored from dd_copy(). (dd_copy): Call the new functions to allocate memory for ibuf and obuf when necessary. (skip): Likewise. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: New test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the test.
