* tests/tail/overlay-headers.sh: Protect tail invocation with timeout,
and extend the possible running period to 60 seconds like other tests.
Reported by Brudno Haible on T2SDE Linux/alpha
* tests/tail/wait.sh: This test was seen to hang occasionally
on an Alpine Linux 3.20 system, so protect the tail(1) call
with `timeout 60` as done in similar tests.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
* src/local.mk: Explicitly depend on @INTL_MACOS_LIBS@
which may be not implicitly referenced (in LIBINTL) without gettext.
This is a new transitive dependency through localename-unsafe.
We add this globally to ease future maintenance as currently
6 commands require the localename-unsafe dependency:
date, du through show-date() (fprintftime), and
ls, pr, stat, uptime through strftime().
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Use printf rather than echo
since the echo builtin in dash will interpret backslashes.
* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Likewise for consistency.
* gnulib: Update gnulib to latest to pull in change
to inspect GLIBC_TUNABLES on non x86_64 or aarch64 platforms.
This was needed on 32 bit x86, which supports calling into
accelerated code, and so requires inspection of GLIBC_TUNABLES
to pass the disablement verification in tests/cksum/cksum.sh
Use new Gnulib streq function instead of rolling our own macro.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stringeq.
* src/rm.c (main): Don’t assume streq is a macro that expands to (...),
as it is now a function.
* src/system.h:
* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh, tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh:
(STREQ): Remove. All uses replaced by streq.
This was noticed with:
trap '' PIPE && # Ignore SIGPIPE
make check TESTS=tests/fold/fold-characters.sh SUBDIRS=.
* tests/fold/fold-characters.sh: Move memory limit test to ...
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: ... which avoids "write error"
messages on stderr due to the ignored SIGPIPE. It also protects
the fold invocation with a timeout(1) so that fold implementations
that don't exit promptly upon write error don't hang the test suite
(Like we would have done before commit v9.7-311-gc95c7ee76).
* src/comm.c (compare_files): Use the "%ju" printf directive instead of
"%s" and printing the result of umaxtostr.
* src/df.c (get_header): Likewise.
* src/ls.c (print_long_format): Likewise.
* src/sort.c (check): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the new GLIBC_TUNABLES feature.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Hardware Acceleration): A new node
detailing the build time and run time configuration options.
* src/fold.c (write_out): A new helper to check all writes.
(fold-file): Use write_out() for all writes.
* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Adjust to writing more
data in various patterns, rather than two buffers of NULs.
This is a more robust memory bound check, and the '\303' case
tests this particular logic change.
* NEWS: fold now exits immediately, not just promptly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/fold.c (fold_file): Check for write errors
after each buffer read from stdin.
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Add test cases.
* src/copy-file-data.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy)
(copy_file_data): Prefer idx_t to size_t.
(copy_file_data): Defend against st_size < 0, which can happen on
ancient buggy platforms. Check for overflow; the old code was
wrong on theoretical-but-valid hosts where SIZE_MAX <= INT_MAX.
* src/copy-file-data.c (write_zeros): New args abuf, buf_size.
Use the lazily-allocated buffer, which most likely already exists,
rather than allocating a separate buffer just for zeros.
This makes the code more reentrant as there is no longer
a need for static storage here. Although there is some CPU
overhead due to the need to zero out the buffer for each file,
the overhead is relatively small as the buffer is smallish
and should be cached. All callers changed.
This doesn’t change behavior; it simplifies future changes.
* src/copy-file-data.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy, copy_file_data):
Return the number of bytes copied, or -1 on failure,
instead of merely returning a success indication.
All callers changed.
This does not affect current coreutils behavior;
it is merely to help make copy_file_data more useful in the future.
* src/copy-file-data.c (lseek_copy): New arg ibytes.
Caller changed.
(copy_file_data): Implement the ibytes arg; formerly
it was always treated as COUNT_MAX, though all callers
currently pass COUNT_MAX so there was no problem in practice.
Port better ancient platforms where OFF_T_MAX is only 2**31 - 1,
but some devices have more than that many bytes.
* src/copy-file-data.c (copy_file_data): Byte count is now
count_t, not off_t. All callers changed. Since we need to check
for overflow anyway, also check for too-small calls to fadvise.
* po/POTFILES.in, src/local.mk (copy_sources): Add the new file.
* src/copy.c: Move the #includes of alignalloc.h, buffer-lcm.h,
fadvise.h, full-write.h, ioblksize.h to copy-file-data.c.
(enum copy_debug_val, struct copy_debug): Move these decls to copy.h.
(punch_hole, create_hole, is_CLONENOTSUP, sparse_copy)
(write_zeros, lseek_copy, HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLOCKS)
(enum scantype, struct scan_inference, infer_scantype):
Move to copy-file-data.c.
(copy_reg): Move the data-copying part of this function
to the new function copy_file_data in copy-file-data.c.
* src/copy-file-data.c: New file, taken from part of copy.c.
This is in preparation for splitting this large module.
* src/copy.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy): New arg DEBUG, used to
identify copy debug info instead of using a static var. All
callers changed.
(lseek_copy, infer_scantype): New args SRC_POS and POS.
Callers changed.
(copy_file_data): New function, with contents taken from copy.
(copy_reg): Call it.
* NEWS: Before commit fb9016d50 (fold: use fread instead of getline,
2025-08-24), fold required that the maximum line size in a file fit into
memory. Document that this is no longer the case.
* src/fold.c (fold_file): Prefer putchar ('\n') to copying characters.
If we do not have room in the output buffer print it since it is not a
full line of text.
* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: New test case.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
This is useful to give better test coverage at least,
and may be useful for users to tune their environment.
* bootstrap.conf: Reference the cpu-supports gnulib module.
* src/cksum.c: Use cpu_supports() rather than __builtin_cpu_supports().
* src/wc.c: Likewise.
* tests/cksum/cksum.sh: Adjust to testing all implementations.
* tests/wc/wc-cpu.sh: A new test to do likewise.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new wc test.
Finalize was required for base58, but it's a more general mechanism
which simplifies the logic for all encodings
* src/basenc.c (do_decode): Always call base_decode_ctx_finalize(),
rather than the awkward double loop at end of buffer.
* tests/basenc/basenc.pl: Add basenc finalization tests.
* src/local.mk (src_fold_LDADD): Remove $(MBRTOWC_LIB) since it is
already added to LDADD. Remove $(LIBC32CONV) and $(LIBUNISTRING) which
were for an uncommitted patch which used Gnulib's mbfile module.
The meaning of non-file permission umask bits is implementation defined.
On Bionic libc, attempting to set them triggers a FORTIFY runtime check.
$ nohup true
FORTIFY: umask: called with invalid mask -601
Aborted nohup true
* src/nohup.c: (main) Avoid setting non-permission bits in umask.
Just clear the umask to ensure we create nohup.out with u+rw,
as we restore the original umask before the exec().
* tests/misc/nohup.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/basenc.c (has_padding): A more robust helper to
identify padding in the presence of trailing newlines.
(do_decode): Use has_padding() rather than just looking
at the last character.
* tests/basenc/base64.pl: Fully test commit v9.4-53-g378dc38f4
by ensuring partially padded data is diagnosed.
baddecode9 is the case fixed in this commit.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
This implicitly tests the previous commit to
adjust how date(1) handles multiple named format options.
Currrently it tests the following are supported:
chown --quiet --silent
date --rfc-email --rfc-822 --rfc-2822
date --uct --utc --universal
dircolors --bourne-shell --sh
dircolors --csh --c-shell
head --quiet --silent
* tests/misc/option-aliases.sh: A new test to ensure all
option aliases supported by a command are supported.
* Reference the new test.
This avoids a test failure on FreeBSD 14, MacOS 15, and musl.
Fix suggested by Pádraig Brady in:
<https://bugs.gnu.org/79301#32>.
* tests/fold/fold-spaces.sh (isblank): New function. Only run the tests
if the character is treated as blank.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/79301
