* init.cfg (gcc_shared_): A new function refactored from tests.
(require_gcc_shared_): Adjust to call gcc_shared_() to build the
test library, and remove that library before the function returns.
* tests/cp/nfs-removal-race.sh: Call the new gcc_shared_().
* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Likewise.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise.
* tests/ls/getxattr-speedup.sh: Likewise.
* tests/rm/r-root.sh: Likewise.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use the global process context
to set the context of existing directories before they're populated.
This is more consistent with the new directory case, and fixes
a bug for existing directories where we erroneously set the
context to the last copied descendent, rather than to that of
the source directory itself.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Add a test for this case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* THANKS.in: Add reporter Michal Trunecka.
On emulated aarch64 systems like in the qemu-based OpenBuildService
of openSUSE, cp fails to copy /proc/cpuinfo because the inode number
changes between the initial stat() call and copying the file:
$ cp /proc/cpuinfo exp
cp: skipping file '/proc/cpuinfo', as it was \
replaced while being copied
* tests/cp/proc-zero-len.sh: When cp fails, check on the above
error message to skip the test.
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this,
perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test
to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
* test/dd/no-allocate.sh: Use 'wait' to ensure we don't have
multiple writers to the fifo, which was seen to trigger
a very hard to reproduce deadlock with make -j20 on solaris.
Also avoid writing to the fifo with the shell; instead using dd.
(check_dd_seek_alloc): A new function refactored from the various
cases, which are now constructed from function parameters.
* tests/cp/link-deref.sh: On systems were cp can't determine if
gnulib linkat() emulation might create a symlink instead of a hardlink
to a symlink, copy.c will create a symlink to the symlink so that
it has more control over its metadata. Also even if the system
supports this operation, the particular file system under test may not.
So avoid the hardlinked symlink verification in these cases.
This fixes a false failure on aix, solaris and freebsd.
* tests/df/total-unprocessed.sh: Skip the test when we can't
determine the file system type as the exclusion filter is not
applied in that case. "lofs" being ignored is effectively
an unknown file system type.
* tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Ensure the expected output
matches with the output on systems without /dev/stdin (like AIX 7).
Also change some fail=1 to a more appropriate framework_failure_.
Inline functions are awkward to breakpoint as mentioned at:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10738
The normal case here was for the breakpoint on the inline function
to fail, resulting in a 10s delay before skipping the test.
However on GCC 4.7.2 on ppc64 at least it was seen that
the test failed erroneously due to the breakpoint being successfully
set on an "out of line" function, but an inline function was
actually being called.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Switch to a line based breakpoint,
rather than a symbol base one, which avoids issues with breakpoints
on inline functions. Also skip_ on the initial breakpoint check
in case the breakpoint is not traversed which would be the case
on remote file systems for example.
* src/tail.c: With inotify, when a file is initially absent,
we fstat(-1) for that file spec, thus recording an errnum of EBADF,
which caused the "has become accessible" diagnostic to be issued,
when the file first appears. Instead we avoid the fstat(-1) and
thus emit the more natural and consistent "has appeared" diagnostic.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Use the new diagnostic which also causes
this test to pass on systems without inotify.
* tests/ls/stat-free-color.sh: Add newfstatat to the list
of syscalls to trace. Also add all "stat" syscalls to the
list of syscalls that we verify that strace supports.
Also only create a single dangling symlink to check, since
we already only check for a single "stat" call.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16075 seen on AArch64
* tests/misc/shuf-reservoir.sh: Restrict the valgrind
"exit on leak" behavior to developer environments where
specific "lint" code is enabled to avoid inconsequential leaks.
Previously, the test triggered another error diagnostic:
shuf: invalid input range ‘-e’
and therefore eclipsed the expected one:
shuf: cannot combine -e and -i options
While at it, reindent a line with more than 80 characters, present
since the previous commit to silence sc_long_lines.
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Pass a valid range to the -i option.
Original problem reported by Philipp Thomas in
<http://bugs.gnu.org/16061>.
* NEWS: shuf --repeat, not shuf --repetitions.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shuf invocation):
* src/shuf.c (usage, long_opts, main):

Likewise. Also, the default head-count is infinity.
* src/selinux.h (ignorable_ctx_err): A new function used
to determine if a warning should be given after a call
to defaultcon() or restorecon().
* src/cp.c (main): Fix the setfscreatecon() call to use
the argument passed by the user.
* src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Show all but "ignoreable" errors
from defaultcon() and restorecon().
* tests/misc/selinux.sh: Add a test run as root in selinux enforcing
mode, to ensure cp --context=invalid is honored and fails immediately.
This is so the matching for the device is done on the canonical name
of the disk node, rather than on the path of the symlink.
In any case the user will generally want to use the symlink target.
* src/df.c (get_disk): Canonicalize the passed file,
before matching against the list of mounted file system devices.
Note we pass the original symlink name to the "file" output field,
as the symlink target is usually available through the "source" field.
* tests/df/df-symlink.sh: Test the dereferencing operation.
* tests/local.mk: Mention the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

cp, mv, install, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod are adjusted so that:
-Z no longer accepts an argument.
-Z or --context without an argument do not warn without SELinux.
--context with an argument will warn without SELinux.
* src/local.mk: Reference the new selinux module where required.
* src/system.h: Make the argument to --context optional.
* src/mkdir.c: Likewise. Also handle the SMACK case for --context.
Note we currently silently ignore -Z with SMACK.
* src/mkfifo.c: Likewise.
* src/mknod.c: Likewise.
* src/install.c: Likewise. Note install(1) by default already
set the context for target files to their system default,
albeit with an older method. Use the -Z option to select between
the old and new context restoration behavior, and document
the differences and details for how context restoration
is done in new and old methods, with a view disabling the
old method entirely in future.
* src/cp.c: Make the argument to --context optional.
Note -Z implies --no-preserve=context. I.E. -Z overrides
that aspect of -a no matter what order specified.
(struct cp_options): Document the context handling options.
(main): Check/adjust option combinations after all
options are processed, to both simplify processing
and to make handling independent of order of options
on the command line. Also improve the diagnostics
from a failed call to setfscreatecon().
(set_process_security_ctx): A new function,
refactored to set the default context from the source file,
or with the type adjusted as per the system default for
the destination path.
(set_file_security_ctx): A new function refactored to
set the security context of an existing file, either based on
the process context or the default system context for a path.
(copy_internal): Use the refactored functions to simplify
error handling and consistently fail or warn as needed.
(copy_reg): Likewise.
(copy_internal): With --preserve=context, also copy
context from non regular files. Note for directories this may
impact the copying of subsequent files to that directory?
(copy_attr): If we're handling SELinux explicitly,
then exclude to avoid the redudant copy with --preserve=context,
and the problematic copy with -Z. Note SELinux attribute exclusion
also now honors cp -a --no-preserve=context. Note there was a
very small window over 10 years ago, where attr_copy_file was
available, while attr_copy_check_permissions was not, so we
don't bother adding an explicit m4 check for the latter function.
* src/mv.c: Support --context, but don't allow specifying an argument.
* src/chcon.c: Adjust a comment to be specific to SELinux.
* src/runcon.c: Likewise.
* src/copy.c: Honor the context settings to "restorecon" as appropriate.
* src/copy.h: Add a new setting to select "restorecon" functionality.
* tests/mkdir/selinux.sh: s/-Z/--context=/
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Augment this test with cases
testing basic -Z functionality, and also test the various
invalid option combinations and option precedence.
* tests/mkdir/restorecon.sh: Add a new test for the
more involved mkdir -Z handling, since the directory changing
and non existent directories need to be specially handled.
Also check the similar but simpler handling of -Z by mk{nod,fifo}.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Update as per interface changes.
(mv invocation): Likewise.
(install invocation): Likewise.
(mkfifo invocation): Likewise.
(mknod invocation): Likewise.
(mkdir invocation): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature and change in behavior.
A sync operation is very often expensive. For illustration
I timed the following python script which indicated that
each ext4 dir sync was taking about 2ms and 12ms, on an
SSD and traditional disk respectively.
import os
d=os.open(".", os.O_DIRECTORY|os.O_RDONLY)
for i in range(1000):
os.fdatasync(d)
So syncing for each character for each file can result
in significant delays. Often this overhead is redundant,
as only the data is sensitive and not the file name.
Even if the names are sensitive, your file system may
employ synchronous metadata updates, which also makes
explicit syncing redundant.
* tests/misc/shred-remove.sh: Ensure all the new parameters
actually unlink the file.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Describe the new
parameters to the --remove option.
* src/shred.c (Usage): Likewise.
(main): Parse the new options.
(wipename): Inspect the new enum to see which of
the now optional tasks to perform.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* THANKS.in: Add reporter Joseph D. Wagner
Previous behavior failed to read contents of a (re)appearing file,
when symlinked by tail's watched file. Also we now diagnose other
edge cases when running in inotify mode, where an initially
missing or regular file changes to a symlink.
* src/tail.c (main): If any arg is a symlink, use polling mode.
(recheck): Diagnose the edge case where a symlink appears during
inotify processing.
* tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Test the fix. Mention the edge cases.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Reported by: Ondrej Oprala
* src/df.c (usage): Document the new 'file' --output field.
(get_dev): Add a new parameter to pass the specified
argument from the command line through. Use '-' if a
command line parameter is not being used.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Describe the new 'file' field.
* tests/df/df-output.sh: Adjust all fields test, and
add a specific test for --output=file.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* tests/local.mk (factor-tests:) Add -f to the mv command that
replaces any existing generated tests. This is required to avoid
prompts when root initially generates the tests, and they subsequently
need to be regenerated by a non root user.
Recent commit 2da7009d changed the error diagnostic of rm(1) trying
to remove "." or "..". Enhance the corresponding test.
* tests/rm/r-4.sh: Ensure rm(1) outputs the expected error diagnostic.
Fix a recent regression introduced in commit v8.21-127-g5ee7d8f
Also related to this is the recent query about root run `rm -I`
ignoring the mode bits of a file: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1013171
* tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Avoid the messages and
corresponding file presence checks with write protected files
when running as root.
This adds support for using a constant or "stick" parity bit.
* src/stty.c (usage): Mention the new flag.
* tests/misc/stty.sh: Adjust for the new flag.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* docs/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Mention the new flag.
* src/shred.c (dopass): Exit early to avoid redundant heap
allocation, and more importantly avoiding a file sync
when we're writting no data, as this can have side effects.
Also with --verbose, this avoids printing of "pass status"
which could be confusing as to whether data was actually written.
* tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Ensure the status for data
passes are not written when not doing any data writes.
Since direct I/O is now enabled with commit v8.21-139-gebaf961
we must handle the case where we write an odd size at the
end of a file (with --exact), or we specify an odd --size that
is larger than 64KiB, or in the very unlikely case of a device
with an odd size. This issue was present since direct I/O
support was first added in v5.3.0, but latent since v6.0.
Theoretically this could have also been an issue after that on
systems which didn't have alignment constraints, but did have
size constraints for direct I/O.
* src/shred.c (dopass): On the first pass for a file, always
retry a write that fails with EINVAL, so we handle direct I/O
failure at either the start or end of the file. Adjust the comment
as the original case is out of date and implicitly handled
by this more general fix.
* tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Add a "bug fix" entry for shred since there are
two related issues now fixed.
* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): Add a bool 'dereference' parameter,
and pass AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW as 'flags' to linkat() when dereference
is true.
(should_dereference): Add new 'bool' function to determine if a
file should be dereferenced or not.
(copy_internal): Use the above new should_dereference() and remember
its return value in a new local bool 'dereference' variable. Use that
in all three calls to create_hard_link().
* src/cp.c (main): after parsing the options, if x.dereference is
still DEFEF_UNDEFINED and the x.recursive is true, then only set
x.dereference to DEREF_NEVER iff --link was not specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that cp(1) does not
follow symbolic links in the source when --link is specified.
Likewise in the description of the -R option when used together with
that option.
* tests/cp/same-file.sh: Adapt the expected results for the -fl,
the -bl and the -bfl tests.
* tests/cp/link-deref.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference the above new test.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the change.

* src/md5sum.c (main): Add a comment as to why we continue
to escape names that do not have '\n' but do have '\\' chars.
(print_filename): Use the predetermined boolean to decide
whether to escape or not, so that in the common case we
can output the file name directly, rather than inspecting each char.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add case to show '\\' chars cause escaping.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.
The reason for having a --quiet option is to
suppress only some subset of possible errors.
The most useful separation here is with usage/internal errors,
and errors due to file creation etc. (i.e. I/O errors).
* src/mktemp.c (main): Match the --help and info docs and
only suppress the file/dir creation error messages.
* tests/misc/mktemp.pl: Adjust accordingly.
This regression was introduced in commit v6.7-71-g0928c24
* src/rm.c (main): Make the -I option behave like --interactive=once.
* tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Add cases for single and multiple files.

* src/id.c (usage): Remove 'name' from the synopsis,
implying that one can also specify by user ID.

user name or ID lookup with appropriate precedence.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Mention that
a user ID is supported and how '+' affects lookup order.
* tests/misc/id-groups.sh: Remove test now subsumed into...
* tests/misc/id-uid.sh: New test covering new interface.
* tests/local.mk: Rename the test.

* src/group-list.h (print_group_list): Add a parameter for the
delimiter of type char.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise, and use it instead
of a white space character to delimit the group entries.
* src/groups.c (main): Pass white space character to print_group_list().
* src/id.c (longopts): Add array element for the new long option.
(usage): Document the new option. While at it, fix the alignment
of the descriptions to match that of HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION.
(main): Define the bool flag opt_zero indicating the use of the
new option. In the getopt_long loop, handle it.
Output an error diagnostic in the case the --zero option has been
specified together with the default format.
In the case of -gG, pass either a NUL or a white space character to
print_group_list() - depending on the above new flag.
Likewise change the printing of the final newline character: output
a NUL instead if the --zero option has been specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document the new option.
While at it, move the @exitstatus macro down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups in order to be consistent with
other texinfo documents.
(groups invocation): Move @exitstatus down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups here, too.

du(1) uses the first file object of the two test files linked to the
same inode, 'd/f' and 'd/h', whatever the system returns first.
Use 'd/f' in both the expected and the actual output.
* test/du/inodes.sh: Change the expected output as described above
when returning the --all directory entries (without -l). Also replace
the name of the hardlink 'd/h' by 'd/f' in the actual output.
* test/du/inodes.sh: In the cases where compare() fails, that function
would show the unified diff automatically. Therefore, remove the
excess "cat out".
In the cases where expecting an empty file, use compare() again
rather than the simpler "test -s" because possible error reports
will then include the file's content for the same reason as above.
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5582213
* test/du/inodes.sh: Due to undefined order in returned directory
entries, the expected output might not match, so sort both expected
and actual output when returning --all directory entries.
Also use a simpler test for ensuring no errors are output.
This new option can be used to find directories with a huge
amount of files. The GNU find utility has the printf format
"%h" which prints the number of entries in a directory, but
this is non-cumulative and doesn't handle hard links.
* src/du.c (struct duinfo): Add new member for counting inodes.
(duinfo_init): Initialize inodes member with Zero.
(duinfo_set): Set inodes counter to 1.
(duinfo_add): Sum up the 2 given inodes counters.
(opt_inodes): Add new boolean flag to remember if the --inodes
option has been specified.
(INODES_OPTION): Add new enum value to be used ...
(long_options): ... here.
(usage): Add description of the new option.
(print_size): Pass inodes counter or size to print_only_size,
depending on the inodes mode.
(process_file): Adapt threshold handling: with --inodes, print or
elide the entries according to the struct member inodes.
(main): Add a case for accepting the new INODES_OPTION.
Print a warning diagnostic when --inodes is used together with the
option --apparent-size or -b.
Reset the output_block_size to 1 ... and thus ignoring the
options -m and -k.

* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Document the new option.
* NEWS: Mention the new option.
src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use rmdir() rather than unlink()

are replaced in the destination as per POSIX.
* tests/mv/part-rename.sh: Augment with various combinations.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

Some newer test scripts - partially ones from me - are not executable.
It does not seem to be a problem, but for consistency and to avoid
future problems on unusual platforms or shells change the permissions

Include the number of arguments which rm received in the "Remove all
arguments?" prompt. This is useful in the, presumably, common case
where the arguments were not provided by hand, but instead were the
result of various shell expansions. A simple, if somewhat contrived,
example (assuming rm is aliased to rm -I) could be:
rm * .o
where the prompt "Remove 120 arguments?" is more likely to make
the user catch the problem.
* src/rm.c (main): Include correctly pluralized n_files
in the output message. Also remove the now redudant "all".
* tests/rm/interactive-always.sh: Adjust to the new prompt.
* tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Likewise.
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): Simplify the enum so that
it's more general than just suppressing transfer counts.
Then test this in all locations where non fatal diagnostics
are output.
