The bug was introduced with commit 23f6d41f, 19-02-2003.
* src/split.c (bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split):
Correctly check the return from full_read().
* tests/misc/split-fail: Ensure split fails when
it can't read its input.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
This touches all new tests added since commit b062bbd9, when
init.cfg was added. Older tests still exist that could use
conversion, but we can address those later.
* tests/sample-test: Restore hint for --version output.
* tests/misc/stat-birthtime: Include --version if verbose.
* tests/misc/tr-case-class: Likewise.
* tests/misc/stat-mount: Likewise.
* tests/misc/sort-unique: Likewise.
* tests/misc/sort-benchmark-random: Likewise.
Suggested by Jim Meyering.
* src/stat.c (epoch_time): New function.
(print_stat): Use it for %[WXYZ].
* NEWS: Document this.
* tests/touch/60-seconds: Adjust test to match.
* tests/misc/stat-birthtime: Likewise.
This valid translation spec aborted:
LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 tr '[:upper:]- ' '[:lower:]_'
This invalid translation spec aborted:
LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 tr '[:upper:] ' '[:lower:]'
This was caused by commit 6efd1046, 05-01-2008,
"Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales"
This misaligned conversion spec was allowed:
LC_ALL=C tr 'A-Y[:lower:]' 'a-z[:upper:]'
This was caused by commit af5d0c36, 21-10-2007,
"tr: do not reject an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1"
This misaligned spec was allowed by extending the class:
LC_ALL=C tr '[:upper:] ' '[:lower:]'
* src/tr.c (validate_case_classes): A new function to check
alignment of case conversion classes. Also it adjusts the
length of the sets so that locales with different numbers of
upper and lower case characters, don't cause issues.
(string2_extend): Disallow extending the case conversion
class as in the above example. That is locale dependent
and most likely not what the user wants.
(validate): Do the simple test for "restricted" char classes
earlier, so we don't redundantly do more expensive validation.
(main): Remove the case class validation, and simplify.
* tests/misc/tr-case-class: A new test to test the various
alignment and locale issues, associated with case conversion.
* tests/misc/tr: Move case conversion tests to new tr-case-class.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fixes.
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Don't depend on
printf supporting \xhh format, which isn't supported
by dash for example. Also change from double quoted
strings to single quoted, when we don't need any
variable interpolation.
* tests/misc/stat-mount: Don't try to correlate the
mount points output by df and stat, as they're similar,
but sometimes different in the presence of bind mounts.
* doc/coretuils.texi (stat invocation): Clarify the
bind mount difference between stat and df.
* tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Describe
the backoff method used.
* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: Add a timeout
to the stat call to eliminate the chance of hangups.
* tests/mv/i-3: Change the timeout required to pass
from 1 second to a range of .1s - 3.1s.
* tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
All tests currently pass on NFS on Linux kernel 2.6.22 at least,
but some fail on 2.6.9, so we exclude those here.
* tests/init.cfg (is_local_dir_): A new function
returning if the specified directory is on a local file system.
(require_local_dir_): A new function to skip tests
if the current directory is not on a local file system.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Skip if non local.
* tests/cp/file-perm-race: Likewise.
* tests/cp/parent-perm: Likewise.
* tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Likewise.
* tests/cp/preserve-2: Likewise.
* tests/mv/part-symlink: Likewise.
* tests/du/basic: Use refactored function.
* tests/install/basic-1: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev: Likewise.
* tests/du/slink: Likewise. Remove redundant test
for NFS file system.
* tests/misc/join: s/local/locale/.
* src/tac.c (main): Reading a line longer than 16KiB would cause
tac to realloc its primary buffer. Then, just before exit, tac
would mistakenly free the original (now free'd) buffer.
This bug was introduced by commit be6c13e7, "maint: always free a
buffer, to avoid even semblance of a leak".
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/misc/tac (double-free): New test, to exercise this.
Reported by Salvo Tomaselli in <http://bugs.debian.org/594666>.
* src/find-mount-point.c: A new file refactoring
find_mount_point() out from df.c
* src/find-mount-point.h: Likewise.
* src/df.c: Use the new find-mount-point module.
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Handle the new %m format.
(find_bind_mount): A new function to
return the bind mount for a file if any.
(out_mount_mount): Print the bind mount for a file, or else
the standard mount point given by the find-mount-point module.
(usage): Document the %m format directive.
* src/Makefile.am: Reference the refactored find-mount-point.c
* po/POTFILES.in: Add find_mount_point.c to the translation list
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Document %m,
and how it may differ from the mount point that df outputs.
* test/misc/stat-mount: A new test to correlate mount points
output from df and stat.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature
* THANKS: Add the author
Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: Check to see if skip_test_ is
called in a helper function via $() instead of mistakenly failing.
* THANKS: Update.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/sort.c (getmonth): Omit LEN arg, as MONTH is now null-terminated.
(compare_random): Don't null-terminate keys, as caller now does that.
(compare_version): Remove.
(debug_key): Null-terminate string for getmonth.
(keycompare): Support combining -R with any of -d, -f, -i, -V.
Also, support combining -V with any of -d, -i.
(check_ordering_compatibility): Allow newly-supported combinations.
* tests/misc/sort (02q, 02r, 02s): New tests, for new combinations.
(incompat2): Now test -nR, since -fR are now compatible.
Formerly, the 'compare' function and some of its subroutines had a
debugging flag, which caused them to output underlines. This
change refactors the code so that debugging output is
more-separated from the actual sorting. In the process, the
change fixes a minor error in the debugging output. The change
shortens the source code and executable size a tad, and improves
CPU performance by 2.4% on my platform with a simple benchmark (C
locale, line sorting, no debug).
* src/sort.c (long_double, strtold): Move back to prelude, since
they're now used by multiple functions again.
(unit_order): Move to file scope, since it's now used by two functions.
(find_unit_order, human_numcompare, numcompare, general_numcompare):
Remove endptr parameter. All callers changed.
(human_numcompare): Args are now const pointers.
(getmonth): Endptr is now non-const.
(key_numeric): Move up, since it's needed earlier.
(debug_key): Take a line and a key as argument, instead of having
the caller figure out where the field is.
(debug_line): New function.
(keycompare, compare): Omit debug parameter; debug output now done
elsewhere. All callers changed.
(write_line): Renamed from write_bytes; all callers changed.
Use debug_line (not 'compare') to output debug info.
Use a slightly faster check for whether output file is stdout.
(check): Don't do debugging output; it's not that useful here,
and it confuses the code.
(main): Check for incompatibility between -c and --debug.
Use standard diagnostic for incompatible options.
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Fix test case: "--Mi-1" is not
a number, so its first character should not be underlined when
debugging a numeric sort.
* src/sort.c (debug_width): New function, which does not stop
counting tabs at \0, and also invokes mbsnwidth. Stamp out strnlen!
(count_tabs): Remove.
(debug_key): Use debug_width instead of mbsnwidth and count_tabs.
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Check that \0 and \t intermix.
* NEWS: Document changes to sort -h, which are now minor with
respect to the pre-July-30th version.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Likewise. The
documentation now describes how -h comparison is done rather than
being vague with border cases.
* src/sort.c (long_double, strtold): Move back to general_numcompare.
(LD, compute_human): Remove.
(find_unit_order): Remove THOU_SEP parameter, since thousands
separators are now allowed by all callers. Revert to previous
behavior of sorting by suffix, and returning the order rather than
2 * order + binary, since we no longer care whether binary powers
are being used. However, treat all zeros the same, instead of
sorting 0M before 0G; this is more consistent with the desired
behavior of sorting -1G before -1M.
* tests/misc/sort (h1, h3, h6): Adjust to match mostly-reverted
behavior. However, check that all zeros sort together.
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Omit a "_", since the trailing "i"
in "1234Gi" is no longer part of the key.
* NEWS: Document changes to sort -h.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Likewise.
* src/sort.c (long_double, strtold): Move to prelude, since they're
now used by multiple functions.
(LD): New macro.
(struct keyfield.iec_present): Remove this member. All uses removed.
(check_mixed_SI_IEC): Remove. This code was busted in the presence
of multiple threads, as it had a race condition.
(find_unit_order): Remove arg KEY; add arg THOU_SEP; arg ENDPTR is
now char ** rather than char const **. Return an integer that
distinguishes decimal from binary powers. Parse the number
consistently with the intersection of strtold and strnumcmp.
Set *ENDPTR unconditionally.
(compute_human): New static function.
(human_numcompare): Remove arg KEY. Remove 'const' from other args.
Use strnumcmp if possible, but fall back on floating point if not.
(numcompare, general_numcompare): Arg EA is now char ** rather
than char const **.
(numcompare): Adjust to new find_unit_order signature and behavior.
(keycompare): Adjus to new human_numcompare signature.
* tests/misc/sort (h1, h3, h4, h6): Adjust to new behavior.
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Likewise.
* src/sort.c (fillbuf): Don't append eol unless the line is nonempty.
This fixes a bug that was partly but not completely fixed by
the aadc67dfdb commit (dated July 15).
* tests/misc/sort (realloc-buf-2): New test, which catches this
bug on 64-bit hosts.
* src/du.c (process_file): Avoid recalculation of hashes
and of file-exclusion for directories. Do not descend into
the same directory more than once, unless -l is given; this is faster.
Calculate stat buffer lazily, since it
need not be computed at all for excluded files.
Count space if FTS_ERR, since stat buffer is always valid then.
No need for 'print' local variable.
(main): Use FTS_NOSTAT. Use FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK only when not
hashing everything, since process_file finds cycles on its own
when hashing everything.
* tests/du/deref: Add test cases for -L bugs.
* tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: This test was written assuming that
-R typically opens /dev/urandom, but that's no longer the case.
Redo test to specify a random source; this resurrects the point of
checking for file descriptor exhaustion. Also try plain -R, since
that implementation may change in the future too.
This patch is by Gene Auyeung, Chris Dickens, Chen Guo, and Mike
Nichols, based off of a patch by Paul Eggert, Glen Lenker, et. al.,
with a basic heap implementation based off of the GDSL heap,
originally by Nicolas Darnis.
The number of sorts done in parallel is limited to the number
of available processors by default, or can be further restricted
with the --parallel option.
On a dual-die, 8 core Intel Xeon, results show sorting with
8 threads is almost 4 times faster than using a single thread.
Timings when sorting a 96MB file:
THREADS TIME (s)
1 5.10
2 2.87
4 1.75
8 1.31
Single threaded sorting has also been improved,
especially for cheaper comparison operations:
COMMAND BEFORE (s) AFTER (s)
sort 8.822 8.716
sort -g 10.336 10.222
sort -n 3.077 2.961
LANG=C sort 2.169 2.066
* bootstrap.conf: Add heap, pthread.

(MERGE_END, MERGE_ROOT): New constants.
(struct merge_node): New struct.
(struct merge_node_queue): New struct.
(sortlines temp): Remove declaration.
(usage, long_options, main): New option, --parallel.
(specify_nthreads): New function.
(mergelines): New signature, to emphasize the fact that the HI area
must be part of the destination. All callers changed.
(sequential_sort): New function, renamed from sortlines. Merge in
the functionality of sortlines_temp.
(compare_nodes): New function.
(lock_node, unlock_node): New functions.
(queue_destroy): New function.
(queue_init): New function.
(queue_insert): New function.
(queue_pop): New function.
(write_unique): New function.
(mergelines_node): New function.
(check_insert): New function.
(update_parent): New function.
(merge_loop): New function.
(sortlines): Rewrite to support and use parallelism, with a new
signature. All callers changed.
(struct thread_args): New struct.
(sortlines_thread): New function.
(sortlines_temp): Remove.
(sort): New argument NTHREADS. All uses changed. Output moved to
mergelines_node.
(main): disable threading if we are sorting at random.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-benchmark-random.
* tests/misc/sort-benchmark-random: New file.
Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
* tests/init.cfg: Introduce a retry_delay_() function to
repeatedly call a test function that requires a delay.
This delay can now be shorter for the common case on fast
systems, but will double until a configurable limit it reached
before failing on slower systems.
* tests/dd/reblock: Use retry_delay_.
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Likewise.
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise.
* test/dd/misc: Comment that delay is needed to trigger failure.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/du.c (hash_all): New static var.
(process_file): Use it.
(main): Set it.
* tests/du/hard-link: Add a couple of test cases to help make
sure this bug stays squashed.
* tests/du/files0-from: Adjust existing tests to reflect
change in semantics with duplicate arguments.
* src/copy.c (copy_attr): A new function which merges copy_attr_by_fd
and copy_attr_by_name. Also display all errors when --attributes-only
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Skip copying the file contents if specified.
Refactor the SELinux error handling code a little and display all
SELinux errors when only copying attributes.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a data_copy_required boolean
* src/cp.c (main): Default to copying data but don't if specified
* src/install.c: Default to copying data
* src/mv.c: Likewise
tests/cp/reflink-perm: Add a test to check that --attributes-only
does not copy data
* tests/cp/acl: Likewise. Also refactor to remove redundant
acl manipulation
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new option
* NEWS: Mention the new feature
Previously we defaulted to "long-iso" format in locales without
specific format translations, like the en_* locales for example.
This reverts part of commit 6837183d, 08-11-2005, "ls ... acts like
--time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up"
* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Only use the ISO format when specified.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
Reported by Daniel Qarras at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525134
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: Switch to new init.sh-based framework.
(grep_timeout): New function.
Use it in place of open-coded loops that might infloop.
This was prompted by my encountering an inexplicable, and so far
unreproducible, infloop in the code that was waiting for "b" to
appear in "out".
From there, they will be used by both test-lib.sh (as we phase it out)
and the newer init.sh, to which all tests will migrate.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Move most functions from here, ...
* tests/init.cfg: ...to here. New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add init.cfg.
Previously we copied `dd` and suppressed error messages
when truncating neither regular files or shared mem objects.
This was valid for `dd`, as truncation is ancillary to copying
it may also do, but for `truncate` we should display all errors.
Also we used the st_size from non regular files which is undefined,
so we display an error when the user tries this.
* src/truncate (do_truncate): Error when referencing the size
of non regular files or non shared memory objects. Display all
errors returned by ftruncate().
(main): Error when referencing the size of non regular files or
non shared memory objects. Don't suppress error messages for
any file types that can't be opened for writing.
* tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Check that referencing the
size of a directory is not supported.
* tests/misc/truncate-fifo: Ensure the test doesn't hang
by using the `timeout` command. Don't test the return from
running ftruncate on the fifo as it's system dependent as
to whether this fails or not.
NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): Mention that --reference
bases the --size rather than just setting it.
* src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. Also remove the clause
describing --size and --reference as being mutually exclusive.
(do_truncate): Add an extra parameter to hold the size
of a referenced file, and use it if positive.
(main): Pass the size of a referenced file to do_truncate().
* tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Adjust for the new combinations.
* NEWS: Mention the change
Suggested by Richard W.M. Jones
* src/sort.c (key_warnings): Always warn about significant leading
blanks when character offsets are specified, unless they key is
possibly a line offset, i.e. of the form -k1.x,1.y. Also suppress
this warning if the user could be sorting right aligned indexes.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Initialize skip, to avoid a syntax error
in subsequent "test".
Remove redirect-to-/dev/null, now that output is always to a log file.
* src/sort.c (usage): Mention --debug can output warnings to stderr.
Also split the translatable string to aid translation.
(default_key_compare): A new function refactored from main(),
and now also called from the new key_warnings() function.
(key_to_opts): A new function refactored from incompatible_options(),
and now also called from the new key_warnings() function.
(key_numeric): A new function refactored to test if key is numeric.
(key_warnings): A new function to output warnings to stderr,
about questionable use of various options. Currently it warns
about zero length keys and ineffective global options.
(incompatible_options): Refactor out key_to_opts()
(main): Use key_init() to initialize gkey. Refactor out
default_key_compare(). Call key_warnings() in debug mode.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention that warnings
are output by --debug.
* tests/misc/sort-debug-warn: A new test for debug warnings.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature
