In order for ls --color to color each symlink, it must form the name
of each referent and then stat it to see if the link is dangling, to
a directory, to a file, etc. When the symlink is to a relative name,
ls must concatenate the starting directory name and that relative name.
When, in addition, the starting directory was "/" or "/some-name",
the result was ill-formed, and the subsequent stat would usually fail,
making the caller color it as a dangling symlink.
* src/ls.c (make_link_name): Don't botch the case in which
dir_name(NAME) == "/" and LINKNAME is relative.
* tests/ls/root-rel-symlink-color: New file. Test for the above.

Bug introduced by commit v8.16-23-gbcb9078.
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Increase timeout from 1s to 10s, to avoid
unwarranted failure under heavy load.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move misc/tty-eof "up" to nearer the
beginning of the list (from near the middle) so that it is started
earlier in parallel test runs. Otherwise, it would frequently be
among the last two tests to complete.
Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11424>.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed
memory objects the same way as with regular files.
(dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects.
* src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow.
(print_only_size): Report overflow.
(process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case.
* src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size.
* src/split.c (main):
* src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main):
On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek
with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking
POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice
if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to
use for the file size.
* src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too.
* tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size
of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms,
e.g., GNU/Linux.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): In a narrow race (stat sees dest, yet
open-without-O_CREAT fails with ENOENT), retry the open with O_CREAT.
* tests/cp/nfs-removal-race: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

... 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❌\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.

This nit was masked by a bug in maint.mk that effectively disabled
many of the syntax-check rules.
Exempt init.sh because it runs before we're assured to have a
shell that groks $(...). Exempt *.mk because "$" would have to
be doubled, and besides, any `...` expression in a .mk file is
almost certainly evaluated before init.sh is run. Finally, also
exempt the perl-based tests, because perl's `...` cannot be
converted to $(...). Do that by running this command:
git grep -l '`.*`' tests \
| grep -Ev 'init\.sh|\.mk$' | xargs grep -Lw perl \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/`(.*?)`/\$($1)/g'
One minor fix-up change was required after that, due to how
quoting differs:
diff --git a/tests/chmod/equals b/tests/chmod/equals
- expected_perms=$(eval 'echo \$expected_'$dest)
+ expected_perms=$(eval 'echo $expected_'$dest)
Another was to make these required quoting adjustments:
diff --git a/tests/misc/stty b/tests/misc/stty
...
- rev=$(eval echo "\\\$REV_$opt")
+ rev=$(eval echo "\$REV_$opt")
...
- rev1=$(eval echo "\\\$REV_$opt1")
- rev2=$(eval echo "\\\$REV_$opt2")
+ rev1=$(eval echo "\$REV_$opt1")
+ rev2=$(eval echo "\$REV_$opt2")
Also, transform two files that were needlessly excluded above:
(both use perl, but are mostly bourne shell)
perl -pi -e 's/`(.*?)`/\$($1)/g' \
tests/du/long-from-unreadable tests/init.cfg
* tests/dd/sparse: The last two parts of this test would fail due to
the underlying file system at least on Solaris 10 with NFS. That file
system would report that a 3MiB file was occupying <= 1KiB of space
for nearly 50 seconds after creation.

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.

detailed a couple of bugs in gnulib's canonicalize that were visible
through coreutils' readlink, but only on systems where // is distinct
from /. This particular test assumes the POSIX fix which requires
canonicalization of a symlink containing just slashes to behave as
if slashes separating the symlink from the rest of the name are
elided (see http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=541), as that is
the only useful (and current) behavior on Cygwin. That is,
ln -s / root

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).
