* tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh (break_src):
Use abs_top_srcdir, not abs_top_builddir.

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.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Invert the last tests which check the
working directory of the execvp()ed program when a "/"-like
argument was passed: now expect it to be "/" - unless --skip-chdir
is given.
* doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Document the new option.
Document that chroot(1) usually calls chdir("/") unless the new
--skip-chdir option is specified. Sort options.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the fix.
(New features): Mention the new option.

* tests/misc/env.sh: Skip if we can't execute the generated shebang,
which would be the case if there are spaces in the directory hierarchy.
This is triggered by `make distcheck`

With libselinux-2.2.1-6.fc20.x86_64, kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64
`cp --preserve=context src dst` was seen to succeed when src and
dst where on the same fixed context file system, as lsetfilecon()
returned success in this case when the context wasn't being changed.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Copy from a different file system to
most likely have a different context that will test context
setting logic correctly.
|
|
* tests/misc/od-endian.sh: '\n' is not generally supported
in the replacement, so use the more portable "\\$NL".
|
|
* tests/dd/ascii.sh: Quote so that '\\' is passed
to printf rather than a single '\', as that's not portable.
bash, dash, zsh and external solaris printf were seen to support
printf '\%03o' 1 2
while ksh, freebsh shell and external GNU printf need the more portable
printf '\\%03o' 1 2
Note we don't use env here to call the coreutils printf implementation,
as there are many printf calls, so relying on portable shell
implementations will be faster.
|
|
* tests/split/b-chunk.sh: Never show the rm prompt which would
hang the test suite. This was seen when split erroneously
created files with no persmissions, which was triggered by
this compiler bug in clang 3.4:

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
4901010 124964 163768 5189742 4f306e (TOTALS)
Storage requirements are reduced similarly:
$ cd src
$ du -h coreutils
$ du -ch $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
1.2M coreutils
5.3M total
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.

Avoid complicated and error-prone parsing of df's output via

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

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.

* HACKING: GID is more useful in tests than group name, so rename
input param from NON_ROOT_GROUP to NON_ROOT_GID to make it obvious
that only a group ID is now acceptable, thus allowing GID lookups

accurate base for the subsequent adjustment, and move
the uid lookup within chroot, rather than having the overhead
of a separate `id` invocation.

* src/id.c (print_full_info): When no user is specified,
output the effective group for the _process_, rather than
the default group from the system database, which may be different.

A system provided mount entry may be unavailable due to TOCTOU race,
or if another device has been over-mounted at that position, or due to
access permissions. In all these cases output "-" placeholder values
rather than either producing an error, or in the over-mount case
outputting values for the wrong device.
* src/df.c (device_list): A new global list now updated by
filter_mount_list().
(filter_mount_list): Adjust to take a parameter as to whether
update the global mount list, or only the mount <-> device ID mapping.
(get_dev): Use the device ID mapping to ensure we're not outputting
stats for the wrong device. Also output placeholder values when we
can't access a system specified mount point.
(get_all_entries): Set the DEVICE_ONLY param for filter_mount_list().
(devname_for_dev): A new function to search the mount <-> dev mapping.

* src/install.c (install_file_in_file_parents): Factor out the
creation of any parent directories into ...
(mkancesdirs_safe_wd): ... this new function.
(install_file_in_dir): Add the parameter 'mkdir_and_install', and
call the above new function if it evaluates to true.
(main): During parsing of the -t option, move the check whether
the target_directory exists down after the option parsing loop,
and do not complain about stat(optarg,...) failing if -D was given.
Pass 'mkdir_and_install' to install_file_in_dir().
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Remove the (false)
restriction that -D would be ignored together with -t. Instead,
clarify install's new bahavior.
Fix the node's reference in the top-level @direntry for consistency.

of true returning EXIT_FAILURE due to write failure.
* tests/misc/false-status.sh: Fix so we're testing
the tool and not the shell builtin. Add a case for true(1).
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Skip /dev/full test
for true as well as false since the exit status is tested separately.
Also remove the iterations for different LC_MESSAGES, as this was only
applied for false(1). Translations are not honored in the test dir
and so would need separate handling in any case.

commits v8.20-98-g51ce0bf and v8.20-99-gd302aed changed cut(1)
to process each line independently and thus promptly output
each line without buffering. As part of those changes we removed
the special handling of --delimiter=$'\n' --fields=... which
could be used to select arbitrary (ranges of) lines, so as to
simplify and optimize the implementation while also matching the
behavior of different cut(1) implementations.
However that GNU behavior was in place for a long time, and
could be useful in certain cases like making a separated list like
`seq 10 | cut -f1- -d$'\n' --output-delimiter=,` although other tools
like head(1) and paste(1) are more suited to this operation.
This patch reinstates that functionality but restricts the
"line behind" buffering behavior to only the -d$'\n' case.
We also fix the following related edge case to be more consistent:
before> printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
2
before> printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
1
after > printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l

after > printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l

The device name reported for a particular mount entry
may no longer be valid if the mount point was subsequently
mounted on a different device. Therefore honor the order

It's dangerous and confusing to leave root's supplemental
groups in place when specifying other users with --userspec.
In the edge case that that is desired one can explicitly
specify --groups.
Also we implicitly set the system defined supplemental groups
for a user. The existing mechanism where supplemental groups
needed to be explicitly specified is confusing and not general
when the lookup needs to be done within the chroot.
Also we extend the --groups syntax slightly to allow clearing
the set of supplementary groups using --groups=''.
* src/chroot.c (setgroups): On systems without supplemental groups,
clearing then is a noop and so should return success.
(main): Lookup the primary GID with getpwuid() when just a numeric
uid is specified, and also infer the USERNAME from this call,
needed when we're later looking up the supplemental groups for a user.
Support clearing supplemental groups, either implicitly for
unknown users, or explicitly when --groups='' is specified.
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Various new test cases
* doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Adjust for the new behavior.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

This allows chroot to be used as a light weight tool
to change user identification for a command,
while not changing the current working directory.
It also makes `chroot / true` consistently succeed on
all platforms for non root users.
* src/chroot.c (main): If the same root is specified. i.e. '/'
then don't change the current working directory, and avoid the
overhead of the other redundant calls.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Remove failure guard previously
needed on some systems. Also add an explicit case to ensure
we don't change directory.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

Linux with network namespaces contains entries in /proc/mounts like:
proc net:[4026532464] proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
resulting in a failure to stat 'net:[...]', inducing a warning
and an exit with failure status.

* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add an entry to test relative dirs.

The symlink handling in commit v8.21-172-g33660b4 was incomplete
in the case where there were symlinks in the mount list itself.
For example, in the case where /dev/mapper/fedora-home was in the
mount list and that in turn was a symlink to /dev/dm-2, we have:
before> df --out=source /dev/mapper/fedora-home
devtmpfs
after > df --out=source /dev/mapper/fedora-home
/dev/mapper/fedora-home
* src/df.c (get_disk): Compare canonicalized device names from
the mount list. Note we still display the non canonicalized name,
even if longer, as we assume that is the most representative.
* tests/df/df-symlink.sh: This could theoretically fail on some systems
depending on the content of the mount list, but adjust to fail on any
system where symlinks are present in the mount list for the current dir.
|
|
* src/df.c (filter_mountlist): Remove the constraint that
a '/' needs to be in the device name for a mount entry to
be considered for deduplication. Virtual file systems also
have storage associated with them (like tmpfs for example),
and thus need to be deduplicated since they will be shown
in the default df output and subject to --total processing also.
* test/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add a test to ensure we deduplicate
all entries, even for virtual file systems. Also avoid possible
length operations on many remote file systems in the initial
check of df operation. Also avoid the assumption that "/root"
is on the same file system as "/".
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
|

* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent.sh: This test lists all parent directories,
and would spuriously fail if any of those had a file name with a
leading space as the first entry. There is only ever a single space
between the right aligned inode number and the file name, so
process accordingly.
|

* src/shred.c (main): With the preceding change, shred -s-2 FILE
would write 64KB blocks forever -- or until disk full. This change
makes shred reject a negative size.
* tests/misc/shred-negative.sh: New file.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
|
|
* tests/dd/ascii.sh: Avoid unnecessary subshells. Catch dd's
exit code. Remove testing artifact. In the case of a comparison
failure, show the differences in octal format in addition to
"binary files differ". Simplify the creation of the 'in' file.

This issue was identified by running the test suite with
http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/
which is included in GCC 4.8 and enabled with -fsanitize=address
This was checked on Fedora 20 with GCC 4.8 as follows:
$ yum install libasan # http://bugzilla.redhat.com/991003
$ rm -f src/ptx.o
$ make check AM_CFLAGS='-fsanitize=address' SUBDIRS=. VERBOSE=yes
$ failure identified in tests/test-suite.log
To see this particular failure triggered with multiple files:
$ src/ptx <(echo a) <(echo a) 2>&1 | asan_symbolize.py -d

==32178==ABORTING
The initial report and high level analysis were from Jim Meyering...
"The underlying problem is that swallow_file_in_memory()
is setting the contents of the global text_buffer for the first file,
then updating it (clobbering old value) for the second file.
Yet, some pointers to the initial buffer have been squirreled away
and later, one of them (keyafter) is presumed to point into
the new "text_buffer", which it does not. The subsequent
SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS use backs up "cursor" and goes out of bounds."
* src/ptx.c (text_buffers): Maintain references for the limits of each
buffer corresponding to each file, rather than just the last processed.
(struct OCCURS): Add a member to map back to the corresponding file.
Note normally this could be computed from the "reference" member
rather than needing the extra storage, however this is not possible
when in --references mode.
(find_occurs_in_text): Reference the array rather than a single entry.
(define_all_fields): Likewise. Also avoid computing the file index
since this is now stored directly.
(main): Update text_buffers[] array rather than a single text_buffer.
* tests/misc/ptx-overrun.sh: Even though this issue is already triggered
with AddressSanitizer, add a new case to demonstrate the whitespace
trimming issue, and to trigger without AddressSanitizer.

Since the recent commit v8.22-68-g08783f1, ls coloring
is now dependent on the COLORTERM environment variable.
* tests/envvar-check: Unset COLORTERM from test environment.
* tests/ls/color-dtype-dir.sh: Ensure coloring is used.
* tests/misc/ls-misc.pl: Likewise.

--colors controls whether to output colors depending on
whether we're connected to a terminal or not, while this
change gives control over which terminals we output colors to.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* src/ls.c (known_term_type): A new function to search the static
list from dircolors.h
(parse_ls_colors): Honor the TERM when both LS_COLORS and COLORTERM
are non empty.
* tests/ls/color-term.sh: A new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.

* tests/dd/sparse.sh: When testing that a hole is created,
use an existing sparse destination file, so that we're
not write extending the file size, and thus avoiding
speculative preallocation which can result in smaller
holes than requested.
Workaround suggested by Brian Foster

* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Fix comment misspelling.
* src/cut.c: Likewise.
* src/tsort.c (detect_loop): Replace an fprintf() with error().
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Mention some reasons
why clearing slack space might be useful.
* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Add initial writes for each pass
for small regular files in case the storage for those is
in the inode, and thus a larger write up to a block size would
bypass that. Move the direct I/O control to...
(dopass): ... here so we can avoid enabling it for these small
initial writes. It's better to retry direct I/O for each pass
anyway to handle the case where direct I/O is disabled for only
the last portion of a file when the size is not a multiple of
the block size. Note we don't avoid the sync for the initial
write as it will be small but more importantly could be on a
different part of the disk and so worth doing independently
to ensure the write is not discarded.
* tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Check some more direct I/O cases.
* NEWS: Mention the improvements.
The inode storage issue was mentioned by Paul Eggert.
