* 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

* 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().

* 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

function, so that stderr of the wrapped command is unchanged,
allowing for verification of the contents.

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/inotify-rotate.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh: New test to check

* 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.

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.

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.' \

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

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.

* 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'
|
|
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.

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.

* bootstrap: Merge from gnulib.

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.

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.

file_t is now mapped to unlabeled_t as per:

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,

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/
|
|
* cp/proc-zero-len.sh: Search the 'err' file
for the error to ignore, not stdin.
|
|
* 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.

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.
|
|
* tests/split/b-chunk.sh: Skip each file that does not exist.
Some systems lack /proc/version or /sys/kernel/profiling
|
|
* 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.

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. All uses changed.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add tests/misc/wc-proc.sh,
tests/misc/od-j.sh, tests/tail-2/tail-c.sh.
* tests/misc/head-c.sh:
* tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable.sh:
* tests/split/b-chunk.sh:
Add tests for problems with /proc and /sys files.
* tests/misc/od-j.sh, tests/misc/wc-proc.sh, tests/tail-2/tail-c.sh:
New files.

* 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.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Change so status=none only takes precedence
if it's the last level specified.
* NEWS: Mention the feature.
|
|
* src/dd.c (ifd_reopen): A new wrapper to ensure we
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.
* tests/dd/stats.sh: A new test for various signal races.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
