2015-04-30tests: don't skip df tests with /proc/self/mountinfoPádraig Brady
* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: getmntent is no longer called when /proc/self/mountinfo is present, thus causing the test to be skipped. Therefore wrap fopen() to ignore mountinfo, and use the test genmntent table instead. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise.
2015-04-28tests: run ls capability coloring test irrespective of $LS_COLORSPádraig Brady
* tests/ls/no-cap.sh: Ensure the test isn't skipped even if capability coloring is disabled in the current $LS_COLORS. Also just enable/disable capability coloring to avoid the dircolors(1) overhead.
2015-04-13df: fix --local hanging with inaccessible remote mountsPádraig Brady
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): With -l, avoid stating remote mounts. * init.cfg: Avoid test hangs with inaccessible remote mounts. * tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Skip with inaccessible remote mounts. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Likewise. * tests/df/total-verify.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/1199679
2015-03-31tail: fix -f to follow changes after a renameStephane Chazelas
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Only monitor write()s and truncate()s to files in --follow=descriptor mode, thus avoiding the bug where we removed the watch on renamed files. Also adjust the inotify event processing code that is now significant only in --follow=name mode. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Improve this existing test by running in both polling and inotify modes. * tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh: A new test based on the existing one. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the bug. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/19760
2015-03-27tests: fix false test failure with df on Debian/kFreeBSDAssaf Gordon
* tests/fs/skip-duplicates.sh: On this platform .mnt_opts is significant so define to empty to avoid a NULL deref in read_file_system_list(). Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20210
2015-03-10yes: improve efficiency when all args aren't bufferedGiuseppe Scrivano
* src/yes.c (main): Even when the internal buffer isn't large enough, output what we've buffered already, and interate over the rest. This improves the performance in the edge case where there are many small arguments that overflow the buffer. * tests/misc/yes.sh: Add a test case for the many small arguments case.
2015-03-10yes: output data more efficientlyPádraig Brady
yes(1) may be used to generate repeating patterns of text for test inputs etc., so adjust to be more efficient. Profiling the case where yes(1) is outputting small items through stdio (which was the default case), shows the overhead of continuously processing small items in main() and in stdio: $ yes >/dev/null & perf top -p $! 31.02% yes [.] main 27.36% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_file_xsputn@@GLIBC_2.2.5 14.51% libc-2.20.so [.] fputs_unlocked 13.50% libc-2.20.so [.] strlen 10.66% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___mempcpy 1.98% yes [.] fputs_unlocked@plta Sending more data per stdio call improves the situation, but still, there is significant stdio overhead due to memory copies, and the repeated string length checking: $ yes "`echo {1..1000}`" >/dev/null & perf top -p $! 42.26% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___mempcpy 17.38% libc-2.20.so [.] strlen 5.21% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_lock 4.58% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_unlock 4.27% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_file_xsputn@@GLIBC_2.2.5 2.50% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___libc_write 2.45% [kernel] [k] system_call 2.40% [kernel] [k] system_call_after_swapgs 2.27% [kernel] [k] vfs_write 2.09% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_do_write@@GLIBC_2.2.5 2.01% [kernel] [k] fsnotify 1.95% libc-2.20.so [.] _IO_file_write@@GLIBC_2.2.5 1.44% yes [.] main We can avoid all stdio overhead by building up the buffer _once_ and outputting that, and the profile below shows the bottleneck moved to the kernel: $ src/yes >/dev/null & perf top -p $! 15.42% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_lock 12.98% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_unlock 9.41% libc-2.20.so [.] __GI___libc_write 9.11% [kernel] [k] vfs_write 8.35% [kernel] [k] fsnotify 8.02% [kernel] [k] system_call 5.84% [kernel] [k] system_call_after_swapgs 4.54% [kernel] [k] __fget_light 3.98% [kernel] [k] sys_write 3.65% [kernel] [k] selinux_file_permission 3.44% [kernel] [k] rw_verify_area 2.94% [kernel] [k] __fsnotify_parent 2.76% [kernel] [k] security_file_permission 2.39% yes [.] main 2.17% [kernel] [k] __fdget_pos 2.13% [kernel] [k] sysret_check 0.81% [kernel] [k] write_null 0.36% yes [.] write@plt Note this change also ensures that yes(1) will only write complete lines for lines shorter than BUFSIZ. * src/yes.c (main): Build up a BUFSIZ buffer of lines, and output that, rather than having stdio process each item. * tests/misc/yes.sh: Add a new test for various buffer sizes. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20029
2015-03-04tee: generalize the --write-error option to --output-errorPádraig Brady
Adjust commit v8.23-140-gfdd6ebf to add the --output-error option instead of --write-error, and treat open() errors like write() errors. * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): s/write-error/output-error/. * src/tee.c (main): Exit on open() error if appropriate. * tests/misc/tee.sh: Add a case to test open() errors. * NEWS: Adjust for the more general output error behavior. Suggested by Bernhard Voelker.
2015-02-24tee: add --write-error to control handling of closed pipesPádraig Brady
tee is very often used with pipes and this gives better control when writing to them. There are 3 classes of file descriptors that tee can write to: files(1), pipes(2), and early close pipes(3). Handling write errors to 1 & 2 is supported at present with the caveat that failure writing to any pipe will terminate tee immediately. Handling write errors to type 3 is not currently supported. To improve the supported combinations we add these options: --write-error=warn Warn if error writing any output including pipes. Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes. Exit status is failure if any output had error. --write-error=warn-nopipe, -p Warn if error writing any output except pipes. Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes. Exit status is failure if any non pipe output had error. --write-error=exit Exit if error writing any output including pipes. --write-error=exit-nopipe Exit if error writing any output except pipes. Use the "nopipe" variants when files are of types 1 and 3, otherwise use the standard variants with types 1 and 2. A caveat with the above scheme is that a combination of pipe types (2 & 3) is not supported robustly. I.e. if you use the "nopipe" variants when using both type 2 and 3 pipes, then any "real" errors on type 2 pipes will not be diagnosed. Note also a general issue with type 3 pipes that are not on tee's stdout, is that shell constructs don't allow to distinguish early close from real failures. For example `tee >(head -n1) | grep -m1 ..` can't distinguish between an error or an early close in "head" pipe, while the fail on the grep part of the pipe is distinguished independently from the resulting pipe errors. This is a general issue with the >() construct, rather than with tee itself. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Describe the new option. * src/tee.c (usage): Likewise. (main): With --write-error ignore SIGPIPE, and handle the various exit, diagnostics combinations. * tests/misc/tee.sh: Tess all the new options. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/11540
2015-02-20tee: treat '-' operand as file name as mandated by POSIXBernhard Voelker
Since v5.2.1-1247-g8dafbe5, tee(1) treated '-' as stdout while POSIX explicitly requires to treat this as a file name. Revert this change, as the interleaved output - due to sending another copy of input to stdout - is not considered to be useful. Discussed in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2015-02/msg00085.html * src/tee.c (tee_files): Remove the special handling for "-" operands. (usage): Remove the corresponding sentence. * doc/coreutils.texi (common options): Remove the "tee -" example. (tee invocation): Document that tee(1) now treats "-" as a file name. * tests/misc/tee.sh: Add a test case for "tee -". While at it, re-indent the above multi-argument processing case and extend that to 13 operands, as POSIX mandates that, too. * tests/misc/tee-dash.sh: Remove now-obsolete test. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Remove the above test. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the change.
2015-02-18tee: exit early if no more writable outputsPádraig Brady
* src/tee.c (main): Don't continue reading if we can't output anywhere. * tests/misc/tee.sh: Ensure we exit when no more outputs. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2015-02-18tests: support stderr verification with returns_()Pádraig Brady
* tests/init.sh (returns_): Disable tracing for this wrapper function, so that stderr of the wrapped command is unchanged, allowing for verification of the contents.
2015-02-06tail: return inotify resources where possiblePádraig Brady
Each user has a maximum number of inotify watches, so handle the cases where we exhaust these resources. * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Ensure we inotify_rm_watch() the watch for an inode, when replacing with a new watch for a name. Return all used inotify resources when reverting to polling. Revert to polling upon first indication of inotify resource exhaustion. Revert to polling on any inotify resource exhaustion. Diagnose resource exhaustion correctly in all cases. Avoid redundant reinsertion in the hash for unchanged watches (where only attributes of the file are changed). * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Avoid false failure when reverting to polling. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh: New test to check that we're calling inotify_rm_watch() for replaced files. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * THANKS.in: Thanks for reporting and problem identification.
2015-02-06tests: fix recent regression in tail inotify testPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh (cleanup_fail_): Set fail=1 so that failures are identified. Regression in v8.23-63-g111a2b9 Also use print_ver_ rather than open coding --verbose support. Also check for more than a single 'b' which seems brittle.
2015-02-03tests: avoid a FP on aarch64 when comparing env/printenv outputBernhard Voelker
The following test fails on aarch64 on openSUSE's OpenBuildService due to glibc's execvp reversing the pointers of 'environ', i.e., the output of "env|tac" equals "env env" on that platform. * tests/misc/printenv.sh: Use 'env env' to work around the behavior on that platform. While at it, fix the grep pattern which suppressed all environment variables starting with an underscore "_" instead of "$_" (and "$LD_PRELOAD") only.
2015-01-31doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and commentsBernhard Voelker
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before "I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence. The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from old ChangeLog files): $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \ -e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/. \1/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g' * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule. (sc_ensure_double_space_after_dot_before_id_est): Likewise. (sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Likewise. (old_NEWS_hash): Refresh hash via "make update-NEWS-hash". * NEWS: Change use of "id est" abbreviation via the above command. * README: Likewise. * README-prereq: Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise. * gl/lib/rand-isaac.c: Likewise. * gl/lib/tempname.c.diff: Likewise. * man/stdbuf.x: Likewise. * src/cat.c: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/copy.h: Likewise. * src/cp.c: Likewise. * src/cut.c: Likewise. * src/dd.c: Likewise. * src/df.c: Likewise. * src/fiemap.h: Likewise. * src/longlong.h: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/numfmt.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/shuf.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise. * tests/Coreutils.pm: Likewise. * tests/df/df-symlink.sh: Likewise. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/ls/color-norm.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/basename.pl: Likewise. * tests/misc/ls-misc.pl: Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum-bsd.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort.pl: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/tac-continue.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/r-root.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise.
2015-01-28sync: support syncing specified argumentsGiuseppe Scrivano
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for syncfs(). * man/sync.x: Add references to syncfs, fsync and fdatasync. * doc/coreutils.texi (sync invocation): Document the new feature. * src/sync.c: Include "quote.h". (AUTHORS): Include myself. (MODE_FILE, MODE_DATA, MODE_FILE_SYSTEM, MODE_SYNC): New enum values. (long_options): Define. (sync_arg): New function. (usage): Describe that arguments are now accepted. (main): Add arguments parsing and add support for fsync(2), fdatasync(2) and syncfs(2). * tests/misc/sync.sh: New (and only) test for sync. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * AUTHORS: Add myself to sync's authors. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2015-01-20tests: use returns_ function for new split testBernhard Voelker
* tests/split/record-sep.sh: Use the recently added returns_ function to simplify the shell syntax in this test. Also remove the redirection of stdout/stderr to /dev/null as this eases analyzing errors.
2015-01-19split: new -t option to select record separatorAssaf Gordon
* src/split.c (eolchar): A new variable to hold the separator character (unibyte for now). This is reference throughout rather than hardcoding '\n'. (usage): Describe the new --separator option, and mention records along with lines so there is no ambiguity that all options treat lines and records equivalently. (main): Have -t update eolchar, or default to '\n'. * tests/split/record-sep.sh: New test case. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Document the new option. Adjust --lines, --line-bytes, --number=[lr]/... to mention they pertain to records if --separator is specified. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2015-01-14tests: use compare-vs-/dev/null instead of 'test -s'Bernhard Voelker
When some program produces unexpected output, that use of compare-vs-/dev/null will ensure that the surprising output is printed in the test's output. With "test -s err" only, one would have to instrument and rerun in order to see the offending output. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Exempt 'compare' from this check. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Change "tests -s ... || fail=1" to "compare /dev/null ... && fail=1". * tests/misc/nice.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/read-only.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-dereference.sh: Likewise. Suggested by Jim Meyering in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2015-01/msg00042.html
2015-01-14tests: add extra protection against unexpected exitsPádraig Brady
Many tests use `program ... && fail=1` to ensure expected error situations are indicated. However that would mask an unexpected exit (like a crash). Therefore explicitly check the expected exit code. Note where error messages are also verified, the extra protection is not added. * tests/init.sh (returns_): A new helper function to check the return code of a command, and used throughout the tests. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Add a syntax check to avoid new instances of this issue.
2015-01-12tests: avoid skipping some df tests with libmountPádraig Brady
* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Provide libmount placeholders, to avoid skipping the test when libmount is in use. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Comment that the test is moot when libmount (/proc/self/mountinfo) is being used.
2015-01-10maint: clean up some test issues identified with shellcheckPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Comment why unused variables are assigned. Fix misspellings noticed while adjusting. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf.sh: Fix quoting. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Avoid useless use of cat. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise.
2015-01-08maint: adjustments related to previous shuf crash fixDaiki Ueno
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Improve the test so it detects crashes in more cases. * NEWS: Mention the previous fix.
2015-01-05shuf: do not mishandle 'shuf -i0-0 1'Paul Eggert
Problem reported by Daiki Ueno in: http://bugs.gnu.org/19520 * src/shuf.c (main): Avoid core dump if !input_range. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Test for this bug.
2015-01-01maint: update further copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
* bootstrap: Update copyright year manually (missing in previous gnulib update). * tests/init.sh: Likewise. The entries in the exemption list are processed by "grep -vEf ./.x-update-copyright", and therefore evaluated as an extended regular expression (ERE). Thus, the "bootstrap" entry also matched for bootstrap.conf which we want to be updated. * .x-update-copyright: Change all entries to EREs, i.e. including the caret ^ and dollar sign $ meta-characters matching the beginning and the end of a line. * bootstrap.conf: Update copyright year by "make update-copyright". Finally, the only one showing up with the following command should be the COPYING file: $ git grep 'Copyright .* Free Software' | grep -v '2015 Free Software'
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.
2014-12-30tests: fix possible 8 minute running time of inotify-rotate.shPádraig Brady
Commit v8.23-63-g111a2b9 removed the expensive tag on this test, as it runs quickly on systems with inotify. However without that it would take about 8 minutes for the test to complete all iterations. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Tag as expensive without inotify. Also adjust the polling parameters used on systems without inotify so that the test completes within about 15 seconds.
2014-12-30build: update to latest gnulibPádraig Brady
Included in this are gnulib changes 3ea43e02 2768ceb7 which make the device IDs from /proc/self/mountinfo available to df. This can be leveraged by a subsequent change to df to present a more accurate list of file systems. * bootstrap: Merge from gnulib. * src/ls.c (dev_ino_pop): s/obstack_blank/obstack_blank_fast/ as this API/ABI has changed, giving memory exhausted errors if negative (large positive) numbers are passed to obstack_blank(). * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Adjust as the new gnulib code requires a non NULL mnt_opts even when mnt_type is not "none".
2014-12-25tests: fix error message check on some systemsPádraig Brady
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/18129583 identified (on OS X) an incorrect test assumption in the previous commit. * gl/lib/xdectoint.c (__xnumtoint): Suppress the EINVAL error message as it's redundant in this context. * tests/misc/tail.pl: Suppress _optionally_ appended strerror messages. * tests/fmt/base.pl: Likewise. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl: Likewise. * tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Likewise.
2014-12-19diagnose too-large numbers betterPádraig Brady
Following on from commit v8.23-82-gaddae94, consistently diagnose numbers that are too large, so as to distinguish from other errors, and make the limits obvious. * gl/modules/xdectoint: A new module implementing xdecto[iu]max(), which handles the common case of parsing a bounded integer and exiting with a diagnostic on error. * gl/lib/xdectoimax.c: The signed variant. * gl/lib/xdectoint.c: The parameterized implementation. * gl/lib/xdectoint.h: The interface. * gl/lib/xdectoumax.c: The unsigned variant. * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_require_config_h_first): Exclude the parameterized templates. * src/csplit.c: Output EOVERFLOW or ERANGE errors if appropriate. * src/fmt.c: Likewise. * src/fold.c: Likewise. * src/head.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/nl.c: Likewise. * src/nproc.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/shuf.c: Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c: Likewise. * src/stty.c: Likewise. * src/tail.c: Likewise. * src/truncate.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl: Adjust to avoid matching errno diagnostic. * tests/fmt/base.pl: Likewise. * tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/shred-negative.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/tail.pl: Likewise. Also remove the redundant existing ERR_SUBST from test err-6. * tests/ls/hex-option.sh: Check HEX/OCT options. * tests/misc/shred-size.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/stty-row-col.sh: Likewise.
2014-12-10build: use the system printf routines in most casesPádraig Brady
glibc <= 2.5 would crash when passed invalid long double values, therefore internal gnulib routines were used, essentially only by od, to output such invalid values. Later glibc versions don't crash, as per https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4586 and subsequently od was adjusted to use the system printf routines through the use of the ftoastr module with commit v8.7-22-ga71c22f. Consequently our testing of this feature was moot, and use of the gnulib printf replacement for printf(1), od(1) and error(3) etc. was redundant. * configure.ac (gl_printf_safe): Unset so that we don't check that "nan" is output for these long double values. * tests/misc/od-float.sh: Adjust all existing checks to fail if od exits with failure status (like crashing for example). Add a new case for one of the problematic invalid long double values for x86_64. We only check that od exits successfully at present, which may change if https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17661 is resolved.
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.
2014-11-29tests: avoid hardlink to symlink tests where not supportedPádraig Brady
These checks weren't correctly avoided in commit v8.23-66-g222d7ac * tests/cp/same-file.sh: Avoid all hardlink to symlink tests on platforms where that's not supported. Identified by http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17636446
2014-11-26tests: fix portability issue in dd/ascii testPádraig Brady
Solaris 8 was seen to issue this error: "printf: `&': illegal format character" * test/dd/ascii.sh: Use the coreutils printf in this test rather than the system one, to avoid portability issues.
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
2014-11-22tests: 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.
2014-11-21tests: chcon: avoid false failure with newer selinuxPádraig Brady
file_t is now mapped to unlabeled_t as per: http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/68189.html Therefore use the latter to ensure we match correctly. This is needed on >= Fedora 21 for example, while it also works on earlier releases.
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.
2014-10-30maint: tests: fix comments about retry_delay_Pádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh: Comment with the correct total delay. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.shi: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f2.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Initialize can_chroot_root in all cases.
2014-10-30tests: make inotify-rotate more robust and efficientPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Use retry_delay_ to employ an exponential backoff with a total delay of up to 25.5s. The 15s delay was seen to trigger a false failure in http://hydra.nixos.org/build/16546517 Also remove the .1s sleep in each of the 50 iterations to reduce the running time of the test and thus the expensive_ tag on this test was removed. Also ensure that we use the standard exit procedure upon failure to avoid any erroneous diagnostics due to persistent files on NFS.
2014-10-29tests: make du/move-dir-while-traversing more robustBernhard Voelker
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing.sh: Catch failure of retry_delay_ when waiting for the watcher to get ready.
2014-10-23tests: d_type-check: don't hardcode the C library nameMike Frysinger
* tests/d_type-check: The hardcoded name doesn't hold true for all Linux/glibc platforms, let alone Linux/non-glibc. Use ctypes.util.find_library() instead to search for the library.
2014-10-17tests: avoid false failure when comparing /proc filesBernhard Voelker
At least the MHz number in /proc/cpuinfo may change, thus leading to a false positive failure when comparing the expected against the actual output file. Use an invariant file instead: /proc/version. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: s/cpuinfo/version/
2014-10-16tests: fix test hang with unstable inodes in /procPádraig Brady
* cp/proc-zero-len.sh: Search the 'err' file for the error to ignore, not stdin.
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: 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.
2014-10-07tests: split/b-chunk.sh: avoid spurious fail on non-LinuxJim Meyering
* tests/split/b-chunk.sh: Skip each file that does not exist. Some systems lack /proc/version or /sys/kernel/profiling
2014-10-08maint: avoid syntax-check failures in previous patchPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/od-j.sh: Non standard comparison order. * tests/split/b-chunk.sh: Confusing input file name. * tests/tail-2/tail-c.sh: Redundant require ulimit.
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.
