* tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh: Avoid the case where
we saw SEEK_DATA take 35s to return a result
against a 1TB sparse file. This happened on
a FreeBSD 9.1 VM at least.
Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
* src/cksum.c (crc_sum_stream): On sparc64 for example,
a crc of 0 was printed due to mismatch in size of
variable copied between generator and output functions.
uint_fast32_t is generally 64 bits on 64 bit systems,
so we copy through an int to ensure we don't use the wrong
end of a 64 bit variable.
Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe
* bootstrap.conf: We only need poll on Linux and AIX
where poll is not replaced. Also resinstate dependence
on select so we can use it unconditionally.
* src/tail.c (check_output_alive): Reinstate use of select()
by default as poll was seen to be ineffective for this
application on macOS.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/50714
* src/digest.c: Allow using the --untagged option with --check,
so that `cksum -a md5 --untagged` used to emulate md5sum for example,
may be augmented with the --check option. Also support the --tag
option with cksum, to allow overriding a previous --untagged setting.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Keep stdout and stderr separate,
so that interspersion doesn't impact regex checks. Also wait
for each file's data to be printed to avoid multiple writes
to a file to be printed in a single iteration, which would
impact the regex checks. Also we refactor the check function,
rather than repeatedly redefining variations.
This is wrong fix really, as only introducing delay I think.
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Avoid a rare false failure
due to a race in the test. Now wait until tail has noticed
that b is replaced before writing to a, so that the subsequent
write of "y" to b will be displayed independently from
current contents of b ("x").
* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: On FreeBSD 9.1 at least,
one gets ENOENT when trying to traverse the current removed dir
with ../, so instead reference the parent dir directly.
Here are the warnings:
src/chmod.c:175:3: error: 'ch.new_mode' may be used uninitialized in\
this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
175 | strmode (ch->new_mode, perms);
src/chmod.c:178:3: error: 'ch.old_mode' may be used uninitialized in\
this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
178 | strmode (ch->old_mode, old_perms);
* src/chmod.c (process_file): Initialize ch. Its new_mode and
old_mode fields could indeed be used uninitialized to form mode
strings, but those are used only when built from initialized members.
* src/digest.c (digest_check): Treat empty lines like comments,
as commented checksum files very often have empty lines.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* src/digest.c: Always set the digest_length, so that
we check the correct number of hex digits when parsing
non tagged format checksums.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a test case. Also fix
up this test which was ineffective due to fail=1
being set in a subshell and ignored.
Support checksum files with CRLF line endings,
which is a common gotcha for using --check on windows,
or with checksum files generated on windows.
Note we escape \r here to support the original coreutils format
(with file name at EOL), and file names with literal
\r characters as the last character of their name.
* src/digest.c (filename_unescape): Convert \\r -> \r.
(print_filename): Escape \r -> \\r.
(output_file): Detect \r chars in file names.
(digest_check): Ignore literal \r char at EOL.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add a test case.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
This only practically matters on windows.
But given there are separate text handling options in cygwin,
keep the interface simple, and avoid exposing the
confusing binary/text difference here.
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Mention that
--binary and --text are not supported by the cksum command.
* src/digest.c: Set flag to use binary mode by default.
(output_file): Don't distinguish text and binary modes with
' ' and '*', and just use ' ' always.
This format is a better default, since it results in simpler usage,
as you don't need to specify --tag on generation or -a on
checking invocations. Also it's a more general format supporting
mixed and length adjusted digests.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Document a new --untagged
option, to use the older coreutils format.
(md5sum invocation): Mention that cksum doesn't support --tag.
* src/digest.c: Adjust cksum(1) to default to --tag,
and accept the new --untagged option.
* tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/cksum-c.sh: Likewise.
* src/cksum.h: Thread DELIM through the output functions.
* src/digest.c: Likewise.

* src/cksum.c: Likewise. Also adjust check to allow -z
with traditional output modes. Also ajust the global variable
name to avoid shadowing warnings.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Adjust accordingly.
This will be generally useful going forward, for sha3-256 etc.
* src/digest.c: Rename b2_length to digest_length, and
adjust/simplify the code to operate on this for both
b2sum and cksum -a blake2b.
Support `cksum --check FILE` without having to specify a digest
algorithm, allowing for more generic file check instructions.
This also supports mixed digest checksum files, supporting
more robust multi digest checks.
* src/digest.c (algorithm_from_tag): A new function to
identify the digest algorithm from a tagged format line.
(split3): Set the algorithm depending on tag, and update
the expected digest length accordingly.
* tests/misc/cksum-c.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Adjust to more generic error.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Mention the new -c feature.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Add message digest sm3, which uses the OSCCA SM3 secure
hash (OSCCA GM/T 0004-2012 SM3) generic hash transformation.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the sm3 module.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention the cksum -a option.
* src/digest.c: Provide support for --algorithm='sm3'.
* tests/misc/sm3sum.pl: Add a new test (from Tianjia Zhang)
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Tested-by: Tianjia Zhang <tianjia.zhang@linux.alibaba.com>
* src/digest.c: Organize HASH_ALGO_CKSUM to be table driven,
and amalgamate all digest algorithms.
(main): Parse all options if HASH_ALGO_CKSUM, and disallow
--tag, --zero, and --check with the traditional bsd, sysv, and crc
checksums for now.
* src/local.mk: Reorganize to include all digest modules in cksum.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Update to default to checking with cksum,
as b2sum's implementation diverges a bit from the others.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Adjust the summary to
identify the new mode, and document the new --algorithm option.
* man/cksum.x: Adjust description to be more general.
* man/*sum.x: Add [See Also] section referencing cksum(1).
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* cfg.mk: Adjust cksum.c to not require config.h
and support a main (for crctab) without calling bindtextdomain().
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove cksum_pclmul.c since it no longer
concerns itself with diagnostics.
* src/cksum.c: Refactor to just providing stream digest,
and digest printing functionality.
* src/cksum.h: Adjust to the new interface.
* src/cksum_pclmul.c: Remove diagnostics, and determine errors
internally.
* src/crctab.c: Separate from cksum.h since that's now included
multiple times.
* src/digest.c: Provide cksum(1) functionality if -DHASH_ALGO_CKSUM
* src/local.mk: Adjust to new crctab.c and HASH_ALGO_CKSUM define.
This should have been part of commit v8.32-113-gb73b9fcb1
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Add the --debug description.
* src/cksum.c (usage): Likewise.
(main): Also give explicit indication when using generic hardware.
Since digest will be providing all digest functionality,
refactor sum.c into it.
* po/POTFILES.in: sum.c no longer has translatable strings so remove.
* src/digest.c: Call out to new stream interfaces in sum.c
* src/local.mk: Adjust sources for the sum binary.
* src/sum.c: Provide a stream interface for BSD and SYSV digests.
* src/sum.h: A new file to declare the exported functions in sum.c
md5sum.c will be the base for all digest functions,
so rename accordingly.
* src/md5sum.c: Rename to ...
* src/digest.c: ... renamed from md5sum.c
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Allow digest: commit prefix.
* po.POTFILES.in: Adjust to new name.
* src/local.mk: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (whoami invocation): Clarify it prints names,
not numeric IDs.
* man/whoami.x: Likewise.
* man/logname.x: Reference getlogin(3).
* src/logname.c: Clarify that it prints the login name,
rather than the name of the effective user ID.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/48894
* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent.sh: Skip the test if we can't stat(1),
as the file may have been removed, or have a malformed name
due to '\n' etc. in the file name.
* gnulib: Update to latest. This fixes a gnulib test failure in base64,
among other fixes.
* cfg.mk: Disable sc_indent as auto indent is too invasive for now.
Adjust to output the file name if any name parameter is passed.
This is consistent with sum -s, cksum, and sum implementations
on other platforms. This should not cause significant compat
issues, as multiple fields are already output, and so already
need to be parsed.
* src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file): Output the file name
if any name parameter is passed.
* tests/misc/sum.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sum invocation): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Test that /dev/full causes
shell printf to fail. This ports better to NetBSD 9.88.46,
where it doesn’t. Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Merge gzip-related changes
back from gzip/tests/help-version. This fixes problems
when TERM is not 'dumb', and should simplify maintenance.
Emil Lundberg <lundberg.emil@gmail.com> reports in
https://bugs.gnu.org/49741 about a 'basenc --base64 -d' decoding bug.
The input buffer length was not divisible by 3, resulting in
decoding errors.
* NEWS: Mention fix.
* src/basenc.c (DEC_BLOCKSIZE): Change from 1024*5 to 4200 (35*3*5*8)
which is divisible by 3,4,5,8 - satisfying both base32 and base64;
Use compile-time verify() macro to enforce the above.
* tests/misc/basenc.pl: Add test.
This patch modifies basenc to prefer signed integers to
unsigned, as signed are less error-prone.
This patch also updates Gnulib to to latest, which updates Gnulib’s
base32 and base64 modules to prefer signed to unsigned integers.
* src/basenc.c: Include idx.h.
(struct base2_decode_context): Use unsigned char, not unsigned
for an octet that must fit in an unsigned char.
(base_encode, struct base_decode_context)
(base64_decode_ctx_wrapper, prepare_inbuf, base64url_encode)
(base64url_decode_ctx_wrapper, base32_decode_ctx_wrapper)

(z85_decoding, z85_decode_ctx, base2msbf_encode)
(base2lsbf_encode, base2lsbf_decode_ctx, base2msbf_decode_ctx)
(wrap_write, do_encode, do_decode, main):
Prefer signed integers to unsigned.
(main): Treat extremely large wrap columns as if they were
infinite; that’s good enough. Since we’re now using xstrtoimax,
this allows ‘-w -0’ (same as ‘-w 0’).
* tests/misc/base64.pl (gen_tests): -w-0 is no longer an error.
find-mount-point.h rightly includes <stdlib.h> for its use
of _GL_ATTRIBUTE_DEALLOC_FREE, which uses free, yet that new
inclusion provoked a syntax-check failure. Exempt this header
file as we've done for others.
* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_system_h_headers):
Add find-mount-point.h to the regexp.
(sc_system_h_headers): Use grep -E, for a more readable regexp.
This better tests the SEEK_HOLE logic which
replaced the original fiemap hole identification logic.
Also it avoids a false failure in sparse-2.sh
on reflink supporting file systems, where we
try to correlate the file sizes produced by cp and dd.

POSIX does not guarantee this. Coalesce duplicate diagnostic
calls.
* src/blake2/b2sum.c (main):
* src/fmt.c (main, fmt):
Report read error, even if it's merely fclose failure.
* src/fmt.c: Include die.h.
(fmt): New arg FILE. Close input (reporting error) if not stdin.
All callers changed.
* src/ptx.c (swallow_file_in_memory): Clear stdin's EOF flag.
* src/sort.c (xfclose): Remove unnecessary feof call.
Problem reported by Michael Debertol (Bug#50070).
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* src/chmod.c (struct change_status): New struct, replacing the
old enum Change_status. All uses changed.
(describe_change): Distinguish between cases depending on
whether 'stat' or its equivalent succeeded. Report a line
of output even if 'stat' failed, as that matches the documentation.
Rework to avoid casts.
(process_file): Do not output nonsense modes computed from
uninitialized storage, removing a couple of IF_LINTs. Simplify by
defaulting to CH_NO_STAT.
If the command-line argument is automounted, df would use
stat info that became wrong after the following open.
* NEWS: Mention the fix (bug#50012).
* src/df.c (automount_stat_err): New function.
This fixes the hang on fifos in a better way, by using O_NONBLOCK.
(main): Use it.
We must delay handling when \r is the last character
of the buffer being processed, as the next character
may or may not be \n.
* src/cat.c (pending_cr): A new global to record whether
the last character processed (in -E mode) is '\r'.
(cat): Honor pending_cr when processing the start of the buffer.
(main): Honor pending_cr if no more files to process.
* tests/misc/cat-E.sh: Add test cases.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/49925
Pacify GCC 11.1 -fanalyzer.
* src/uniq.c (check_file): Use simpler test to check whether this
is the first time through the loop. Although the old test was
correct, the new one is easier to understand and perhaps a tiny
bit more efficient.
Caught by GCC 11.1 -fanalyzer.
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_int): Remove unnecessary test of
*endptr vs NULL. Presumably this was a typo and **endptr was
intended instead of *endptr, but an **endptr test is also
unnecessary since c_isdigit (0) returns false.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Provide a summary
list of the available options, which is useful to
provide a quick reminder for those already familiar
with the functionality of tr.

uses magnetic cores, which became obsolete in the 1970s.
* src/du.c (usage):
* src/ls.c (usage):
* src/shred.c (usage): Reword to avoid “disk” in usage messages.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document implementation more
closely. Be more consistent about style. Omit some needless words.
* src/ls.c (usage): Don’t overdocument -f, as the details were wrong.
Omit -1 advice as it’s a bit obsolete now that we have --zero and
is a bit much for --usage output anyway.
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting):
* src/ls.c (usage):
Document this.
* src/ls.c (ZERO_OPTION): Rename from NULL_OPTION.
All uses changed.
(long_options): Rename --null to --zero.
(dired_dump_obstack, main, print_dir): Use '\n' instead of
eolbyte where eolbyte must equal '\n'.
(decode_switches): Decode --zero instead of --null.
--zero also implies -1, -N, --color=none, --show-control-chars.
Use easier-to-decipher code to set ‘format’ and ‘dired’.
Reject attempts to combine --dired and --zero.
* tests/local.mk: Adjust to test script renaming.
* tests/ls/zero-option.sh: Rename from tests/ls/null-option.sh,
and test --zero instead of --null.
* src/ls.c (enum time_type, enum sort_type, enum indicator_style)
(enum Dereference_symlink, ignore_mode):
Put ‘= 0’ after default values, since the code relies
on static storage defaulting to zero.
(enum sort_type): Reorder so that -1 can be used to represent unset.
(main): Test print_with_color after parse_ls_color may have reset it.
(decode_line_length): Return the line length instead of setting
static storage. All uses changed. Treat line lengths exceeding
PTRDIFF_MAX as infinite, to avoid pointer-subtraction glitches.
(stdout_isatty): New function, to avoid calling isatty twice.
(decode_switches): Calculate defaults more lazily, to avoid using
syscalls or getenv during startup unless the results are more
likely to be needed. Use -1 to indicate options that haven’t been
set on the command line yet. Move print_with_color test from
here to ‘main’. Suppress bogus GCC warning.
(getenv_quoting_style): Return the quoting style instead of
setting static storage.
(init_column_info): New arg MAX_COLS, to avoid recalculating it.
Caller changed.
* src/ls.c (dired_pos): Now off_t, not size_t, since it counts
output file offsets.
(dired_dump_obstack): This obstack's file offsets are now
off_t, not size_t.
(format_user_or_group, format_user_or_group_width):
ID arg is now uintmax_t, not unsigned long, since uid_t and
gid_t values might exceed ULONG_MAX.
(format_user_or_group_width): Use snprintf with NULL instead of
sprintf with a discarded buffer. This avoids a stack buffer,
and so should be safer.
Prefer functions or constants to macros where either will do.
That’s cleaner, and nowadays there’s no performance reason to
prefer macros. All uses changed.
* src/ls.c (INITIAL_TABLE_SIZE, MIN_COLUMN_WIDTH):
Now constants instead of macros.
(file_or_link_mode): New function, replacing the old macro
FILE_OR_LINK_MODE.

(dired_indent): New function, replacing the old macro DIRED_INDENT.
(push_current_dired_pos): New function, replacing the old macro
PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS.

(signal_init, signal_restore, cmp_ctime, cmp_mtime, cmp_atime)
(cmp_btime, cmp_size, cmp_name, cmp_extension)
(fileinfo_name_width, cmp_width, cmp_version):
No longer inline; compilers can deduce this well enough nowadays.
(main): Protect unused assert with ‘if (false)’ rather than
commenting it out, so that the compiler checks the code.
(print_dir): Output the space and newline in the same buffer
as the human-readable number they surround.
(dirfirst_check): New function, replacing the old macro
DIRFIRST_CHECK. Simplify by using subtraction.
(off_cmp): New function, replacing the old macro longdiff.
(print_long_format): No need to null-terminate the string now.
(format_user_or_group): Let printf count the bytes.
* src/ls.c (format_user_or_group_width, print_long_format):
Use return value from sprintf instead of calling strlen on
the resulting buffer, or inferring the length some other way.
As originally reported in <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1962515>,
df invoked without -a printed duplicated entries for NFS mounts
of bind mounts. This is a regression from commit v8.25-54-g1c17f61ef99,
which introduced the use of a hash table.
The proposed patch makes sure that the devlist entry seen the last time
is used for comparison when eliminating duplicated mount entries. This
way it worked before introducing the hash table.
Patch co-authored by Roberto Bergantinos.
* src/ls.c (struct devlist): Introduce the seen_last pointer.
(devlist_for_dev): Return the devlist entry seen the last time if found.
(filter_mount_list): Remember the devlist entry seen the last time for
each hashed item.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace select with poll.
* src/tail.c: Do not include <sys/select.h>.
[!_AIX]: Include poll.h.
(check_output_alive) [!_AIX]: Use poll instead of select.
(tail_forever_inotify): Likewise. Simplify logic, as there is no
need for a ‘while (len <= evbuf_off)’ loop.
* src/stat.c (default_format): Use decomposed decimal
representation (major,minor) in the default format.
This is least ambiguous for human interpretation,
and more consistent with ls for example.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/48960
In preparation for changing the default device number
representation (to decomposed decimal), provide more
formatting options for device numbers.
These new (FreeBSD compat) formatting options are added:
%Hd major device number in decimal (st_dev)
%Ld minor device number in decimal (st_dev)
%Hr major device type in decimal (st_rdev)
%Lr minor device type in decimal (st_rdev)
%r (composed) device type in decimal (st_rdev)
%R (composed) device type in hex (st_rdev)
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Document new formats.
* src/stat.c (print_it): Handle the new %H and %L modifiers.
(print_statfs): Adjust to passing the format as two chars
rather than an int. Using an int was introduced in commit db42ae78,
but using separate chars is cleaner and more extensible.
(print_stat): Likewise. Handle any modifiers and the new 'r' format.
(usage): Document the new formats.
* tests/misc/stat-fmt.sh: Add a test case for new modifiers.

Coreutils mistakenly did not list xstrndup as a module
that it depends on directly. When the latest Gnulib removed
the dirname module's dependency on xstrndup, this mistake
caused coreutils to not build. Since all of Coreutils's
uses of xstrndup know the string length, xmemdup0 is a better
match for what's needed. Since the size args are typically
signed or derived from subtracting pointers, the new Gnulib
ximemdup0 function is a better match yet.
So, use ximemdup0 instead of xstrndup.
* src/cut.c, src/dircolors.c, src/expand-common.c, src/expand.c:
* src/numfmt.c, src/set-fields.c, src/unexpand.c:

copy_file_range() before Linux kernel release 5.3 had many issues,
as described at https://lwn.net/Articles/789527/, which was
referenced from https://lwn.net/Articles/846403/; a more general
article discussing the generality of copy_file_range().
Linux kernel 5.3 was released in September 2019, which is new enough
that we need to actively avoid older kernels.
* src/copy.c (functional_copy_file_range): A new function
that returns false for Linux kernels before version 5.3.
(sparse_copy): Call this new function to gate use of
copy_file_range().
* tests/cp/sparse-2.sh: Double check cp --sparse=always,
with dd conv=sparse, in the case where the former didn't
create a sparse file. Now that this test is being newly run
on macos, we're seeing a failure due to seek() not creating
holes on apfs unless the size is >= 16MiB.
fiemap is no longer the default copy implementation,
so check for SEEK_DATA support instead as that's preferred.
This will ensure better test coverage on systems without fiemap.
* init.cfg: Replace fiemap_capable_ with seek_data_capable_.
This is best supported with python 3 so prefer that.
* tests/seek-data-capable: A new test script checking for
SEEK_DATA support on the passed file name,
called from seek_data_capable_.
* tests/fiemap-capable: Remove no longer used probing script.
* tests/cp/fiemap-perf.sh: Renamed to tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh

* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Upon EPERM from copy_file_range(),
fall back to a standard copy, which will give a more accurate
error as to whether the issue is with the source or destination.
Also this will avoid the issue where seccomp or apparmor are
not configured to handle copy_file_range(), in which case
the fall back standard copy would succeed without issue.
This specific issue with seccomp was noticed for example in:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40900
* src/copy.c (infer_scantype): Ensure we don't error out
if SEEK_DATA returns EOPNOTSUPP, on systems where this value
is distinct from ENOTSUP. Generally both of these should be checked.
* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Ensure we fall back to
a standard copy if copy_file_range() returns ENOTSUP.
This generally is best checked when checking ENOSYS,
but it also seems to be a practical concern on Centos 7,
as a quick search gave https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1840284
Fixes a bits/long-double.h include build issue on some systems.
* bootstrap: Sync new --version option from gnulib.

The test program will compile successfully even if __get_cpuid_count
is not declared. The error for the missing symbol will only show up
at link time. Thus, use AC_LINK_IFELSE instead of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
* configure.ac (__get_cpuid_count check): Use C_LINK_IFELSE instead
of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
(__get_cpuid check): Likewise.
Ensure we call hash_free() to avoid valgrind and leak_sanitizer
"definitely lost" warnings. These were not real leaks as
we terminate immediately after, but we should avoid these
"definitely lost" warnings where possible.
* src/copy.c: Add dest_info_free() and src_info_free().
* src/copy.h: Declare the above.
* src/cp-hash.c: Don't define unless "lint" is defined.
* src/install.c: Call dest_info_free() in dev mode.

(avx2_supported): Diagnose various failures and attempts.
* NEWS: Mention the new wc improvement and --debug option.
Use cpuid to detect CPU support for avx2 instructions.
Performance was seen to improve by 5x for a file with only newlines,
while the performance for a file with no such characters is unchanged.
* configure.ac [USE_AVX2_WC_LINECOUNT]: A new conditional,
set when __get_cpuid_count() and avx2 compiler intrinsics are supported.
* src/wc.c (avx2_supported): A new function using __get_cpuid_count()
to determine if avx2 instructions are supported.
(wc_lines): A new function refactored from wc(),
which implements the standard line counting logic,
and provides the fallback implementation for when avx2 is not supported.
* src/wc_avx2.c: A new module to implement using avx2 intrinsics.
* src/local.mk: Reference the new module. Note we build as a separate
lib so that it can be portably built with separate -mavx2 etc. flags.
Problem reported by Roland (Bug#48106).
* src/touch.c (touch): Take more care when deciding whether
to use open_errno or utime_errno in the diagnostic.
Stop worrying about SunOS 4 (which as part of the problem),
as it’s long obsolete. For Solaris 10, verify that EINVAL
really means the file was a directory.

Do not require AC_HEADER_TIME; we no longer care about it directly.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS):
Do not require AC_ISC_POSIX, which became obsolete in 2006.
Use AC_LINK_IFELSE instead of AC_TRY_LINK.
* src/csplit.c (load_buffer):
* src/pinky.c (create_fullname):
Use intprops-based checks rather than xalloc_oversized,
since Gnulib xalloc.h no longer includes xalloc-oversized.h.
* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Fallback to read() if copy_file_range()
fails with ETXTBSY. Otherwise it would be impossible to copy files
that are being used as swap. This used to work before introducing
the support for copy_file_range() in coreutils. (Bug#48036)
On newer systems like Fedora 34 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, ls(1) calls
newfstatat(STDOUT_FILENO, ...), but only when there is something to
output.
* tests/ls/stat-free-color.sh: Add -a option to the reference invocation
of ls, thus enforcing something gets output.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ln invocation): State --symbolic is required.
* src/ln.c (usage): Explicitly state -s is not implied.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/47703
* src/wc.c (usage): State that only printable characters are considered
when counting words. This also disambiguates wether we're talking
about bytes or characters in this context.
* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise. Also clarify
that --characters counts valid locale aware characters,
and that --lines does not count a trailing "line" unless
it ends with a newline character.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/47702
This is especially important now for --sort=width,
as that can greatly increase how often this
expensive quote_name_width() function is called per file.
This also helps the default invocation of ls,
or specifically the --format={across,vertical} cases
(when --width is not set to 0),
to avoid two calls to this function per file.
Note the only case where we later compute the width,
is for --format=commas. That's only done once though,
so we leave the computation close to use to
maximize hardware caching.
* src/ls.c (struct fileinfo): Add a WIDTH member to cache
the screen width of the file name.
(update_current_files_info): Set the WIDTH members for cases
they're needed multiple times. Note we do this explicitly here,
rather than caching at use, so that the fileinfo
structures can remain const in the sorting and presentation functions.
(sort_files): Call the new update_current_files_info() in this
initialization function.
(fileinfo_name_width): Renamed from fileinfo_width,
and adjusted to return the cached value if available.
This helps identify the outliers for long filenames, and also produces
a more compact display of columns when listing a directory with many
entries of various widths.
* src/ls.c (sort_type, sort_types, sort_width): New sort_width sort
type.
(sort_args): Add "width" sort arg.
(cmp_width, fileinfo_width): New sort function and helper for file name
width.
(quote_name_width): Add function prototype declaration.
(usage): Document --sort=width option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document --sort=width option.
* tests/ls/sort-width-option.sh: New test for --sort=width option.
* tests/local.mk: Reference new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add idx.
* src/env.c: Include idx.h, minmax.h.
Prefer idx_t to ptrdiff_t when values are nonnegative.
(valid_escape_sequence, escape_char, validate_split_str)
(CHECK_START_NEW_ARG):
Remove; no longer needed now that we validate as we go.
(struct splitbuf): New type.
(splitbuf_grow, splitbuf_append_byte, check_start_new_arg)
(splitbuf_finishup): New functions.
(build_argv): New arg ARGC. Validate and process in one go, using
the new functions; this is simpler and more reliable than the old
approach (as witness the recent bug). Avoid integer overflow in
the unlikely case where the string contains more than INT_MAX
arguments.
(parse_split_string): Simplify by exploiting the new build_argv.
The assertions didn’t help catch the most recent bug which
was in their area, and kind of get in the way.
* src/env.c: Do not include <assert.h>, and remove all assertions.
These seem to have been put in to pacify gcov, but surely there’s
a better way.
(escape_char): Pacify GCC with 'assume' instead.
Problem reported by Frank Busse (Bug#47412).
* src/env.c (C_ISSPACE_CHARS): New macro.
(shortopts, build_argv, main): Treate all C-locale space
characters like space and tab, for compatibility with FreeBSD.
(validate_split_str, build_argv, parse_split_string):
Use the C locale, not the current locale, to determine whether a
byte is a space character.
* src/cksum.c (cksum_slice8): Fix bug on little-endian
platforms lacking __bswap_32: the SWAP macro evaluates
its argument multiple times, but the macro has a side effect.
The diacrit module is obsolete, and ptx’s use of it is obsolete
too; it assumes an 8-bit locale (not that common these days) and
that TeX cannot process the 8-bit characters (nowadays, it can).
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (Charset selection in ptx): Document this.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove diacrit.
* src/ptx.c: Do not include diacrit.h.
(print_field, fix_output_parameters): Remove obsolete support
for 8-bit diacritics.
This behavior was introduced in commit FILEUTILS-4_0_44-4-g519b707b4.
* src/cksum.c (cksum_slice8): Only report the overflow, and continue.
* src/cksum_pclmul.c (cksum_pclmul): Likewise.
* src/cksum.c: (main): Use getopt_long to parse options,

(pclmul_supported): Diagnose various failures and attempts.
* NEWS: Mention the new option.
Use cpuid to detect CPU support for hardware instruction.
Fall back to slice by 8 algorithm if not supported.
A 500MiB file improves from 1.40s to 0.67s on an i3-2310M
* configure.ac [USE_PCLMUL_CRC32]: A new conditional,
set when __get_cpuid() and clmul compiler intrinsics are supported.
* src/cksum.c (pclmul_supported): A new function using __get_cpuid()
to determine if pclmul instructions are supported.
(cksum): A new function refactored from cksum_slice8(),
which calls pclmul_supported() and then cksum_slice8()
or cksum_pclmul() as appropriate.
* src/cksum.h: Export the crctab array for use in the new module.
* src/cksum_pclmul.c: A new module to implement using pclmul intrinsics.
* po/POTFILES.in: Reference the new cksum_pclmul module.
* src/local.mk: Likewise. Note we build it as a separate library
so that it can be portably built with separate -mavx etc. flags.
* tests/misc/cksum.sh: Add new test modes for pertinent buffer sizes.
build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh (override_single): A new function
to refactor the existing mappings for dir, vdir, and arch.
This function now also sets the DEPENDENCIES variable so that these
dependencies can be maintained later in the script, where
we now propagate the automake generated $(src_$cmd_DEPENDENCIES)
to our equivalent src_libsinglebin_$cmd_a_DEPENDENCIES.
This will ensure that any required libs are built,
which we require in a following change to cksum that
builds part of it as a separate library.
GNU/Linux is unusual here in that rmdir("symlink/") returns ENOTDIR,
whereas Solaris and FreeBSD at least, will follow the symlink
and remove the target directory. We don't make the behavior
on Linux kernels consistent, but at least clarify
the confusing error message.
* src/rmdir (main): Output a specific error message for the above case.
(remove_parents): In the error message, don't assume intermediate paths
are directories, as they could be symlinks.
* tests/rmdir/symlink-errors.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

of leaving it alone.
* tests/mkdir/perm.sh (tests): Add test case for bug.

out-of-date (Bug#45749). Also, fix some obsolete references to
SunOS and to /usr/dict/words, and change “Linux” to “GNU/Linux”
where appropriate. Unfortunately the pipeline example gets more
complicated since /usr/share/dict/words is not sorted the way that
‘comm’ wants.
None of the coreutils man pages - but the two above - are using bold

Avoid redundant copies for the body and footer delimiter strings,
and instead, just offset into the header string.
(check_section): Avoid redundant comparing of 2 bytes of memory

clock_gettime if getrandom fails. On platforms like Solaris 10,
clock_gettime is not in the standard C library.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention explicitly

GCC 10.1.1 without optimization gives:
error: ‘strncat’ argument 2 declared attribute ‘nonstring’
[-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
strncat (comment, UT_ID (utmp_ent), utmpsize);
Note the strncat man page says that:
"src does not need to be null-terminated
if it contains n or more bytes."
And the POSIX spec says that the second (source) parameter
is an array not a string.
So I think it's incorrect for strncat to require src be a string type.
This constraint seems to be being added to the gcc builtin strncat,
as specifiying -fno-builtin also avoids the warning.
Note specifying any optimization level also avoids the warning.

Since -LONG_MIN results in LONG_MIN again, the operation itself is
a signed integer overflow.
This can be observed with the following calls (best if compiled
with -ftrapv or -fsanitize=undefined):
$ numfmt --padding=-9223372036854775808
$ seq 1e-9223372036854775808
Technically, the change in seq "reduces" the precision, but a double
or long double that small would be represented as 0 anyway.

The previous attempt to skip that test on NFS (commit 4181fc5183)
made the test fail; it introduced two problems:
a) In the good case, i.e., when the subshell returns with exit status 0,
the test ran into framework_failure_.
b) As the subshell also runs with 'set -x', the later comparison of
/dev/null with 'err' would fail.

* tests/misc/timeout-parameters.sh: Split the large timeout
handling to ...
* tests/misc/timeout-large-parameters.sh: ... here, so that
the 3 second delay is contained in its own test, and if
the test is skipped due invalid handling within timeout(1),
it will be more apparent.
Also adjust the check so we skip whenever the kernel timer
fires immediately, to handle the buggy OpenIndiana 11 kernel also.

* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks.sh: Check syscalls other than stat().
* init.cfg (gcc_shared_libs_): New variable.
(gcc_shared_): Use it, instead of hardcoding -ldl.
(require_gcc_shared_): Determine the suitable value
for gcc_shared_libs_.
With these adjustments, all tests pass on macOS Catalina.
* tests/dd/sparse.sh: Adjust so that systems like apfs that
don't create holes < 16 MiB do not fail erroneously.
* tests/touch/trailing-slash.sh: Darwin was seen to dereference
symlinks to files when given a trailing slash, so avoid
that particular case.
* configure.ac: Reenable distribution of gzip-compressed

strcoll() is only significant to uniq(1) if it returns 0,

statx allows ls to indicate interest in only certain inode metadata.
This is potentially a win on networked/clustered/distributed
file systems. In cases where we'd have to do a full, heavyweight stat()
call we can now do a much lighter statx() call.
As a real-world example, consider a file system like CephFS where one
client is actively writing to a file and another client does an
ls --color in the same directory. --color means that we need to fetch
the mode of the file.
Doing that with a stat() call means that we have to fetch the size and
mtime in addition to the mode. The MDS in that situation will have to
revoke caps in order to ensure that it has up-to-date values to report,
which disrupts the writer.
This has a measurable affect on performance. I ran a fio sequential
write test on one cephfs client and had a second client do "ls --color"
in a tight loop on the directory that held the file:
Baseline -- no activity on the second client:
WRITE: bw=76.7MiB/s (80.4MB/s), 76.7MiB/s-76.7MiB/s (80.4MB/s-80.4MB/s),
io=4600MiB (4824MB), run=60016-60016msec
Without this patch series, we see a noticable performance hit:
WRITE: bw=70.4MiB/s (73.9MB/s), 70.4MiB/s-70.4MiB/s (73.9MB/s-73.9MB/s),
io=4228MiB (4433MB), run=60012-60012msec
With this patch series, we gain most of that ground back:
WRITE: bw=75.9MiB/s (79.6MB/s), 75.9MiB/s-75.9MiB/s (79.6MB/s-79.6MB/s),

Under certain circumstances seq prints an extra line when the output
format has custom format with characters following the printed numbers:
$ seq -f "%g " 1000000 1000000

This is due to the "print_extra_number" logic using strings to determine
whether a 'extra number' is needed, but only one string was trimmed
when using a custom printf format.

When calling 'stat -c %N' to print the filename, don't explicitly
request the size of the file via statx(), as it may add overhead on
some filesystems. The size is only needed to optimize an allocation
for the relatively rare case of reading a symlink name, and the worst
effect is a somewhat-too-large temporary buffer may be allocated for
areadlink_with_size(), or internal retries if buffer is too small.
The file size will be returned by statx() on most filesystems, even
if not requested, unless the filesystem considers this to be too
expensive for that file, in which case the tradeoff is worthwhile.

(dd_copy): Use ifdatasync and ifsync instead of fdatasync and fsync.
Problem reported by Jakub Kulik (Bug#35713).
* NEWS: Mention this.
* configure.ac (DEV_FD_MIGHT_BE_CHR): New macro.
* src/copy.c (DEV_FD_MIGHT_BE_CHR): Default to false.
(follow_fstatat): New function.
(copy_internal): Use it.
* src/copy.h (XSTAT): Remove; no longer used.
The wording of the dd --help text suggests that output will be skipped
for sparse *input* blocks (i.e. that NUL-checking is done on input
blocks) while the code actually checks/skips all-NUL *output* blocks.[1]
* src/dd.c (usage): Update the --help text to clarify the above.
* tests/dd/sparse.sh: Ensure sparseness is controlled with obs.

Its support for the -include option is flaky. Problem reported by
Michael Osipov (Bug#35650). Plus, we could run into other
compilers that don’t support any option like -include. Change the
code so that -include is not needed. Although this causes us to
depart from the upstream version, we’re already doing that for
other reasons.
* configure.ac (USE_XLC_INCLUDE): Remove, as there’s no
guarantee a compiler will support something like -include.
* src/blake2/b2sum.c [HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Include <config.h>.
* src/local.mk (src_b2sum_CPPFLAGS): Add -DHAVE_CONFIG_H.
Do not use -include or a substitute.
Problem reported by Michael Osipov (Bug#35650).
* configure.ac: Use AC_LANG_WERROR to pay attention to compiler
and linker warnings when testing whether stdbuf will work.
* src/blake2/blake2.h (BLAKE2_PACKED):
Don’t assume __attribute__ ((packed)) works on non-Microsoft
compilers. Instead, assume it works only if we have good
reason to assume so, and fall back on Microsoft (or not packing)
otherwise. In practice, not packing is good enough and the
BLAKE2_PACKED macro is mostly just for documentation.
* src/basenc.c: Various minor style cleanups.
(struct base_decode_context): Do not use anonymous unions, as
they’re not in C99. Use a named union instead. All uses changed.
* src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
Use verify_expr instead of verify_true, which has been removed.
(DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE): Remove unnecessary size check.
Problem reported by John Marino (Bug#34894).
* src/ln.c (main): Port ln -s to Solaris symlink function,
where symlink ("x", ".") fails with errno == EINVAL.
Some files are physically copied from gnulib, and should get sync'ed
after each update to latest gnulib. This was forgotten during recent
updates.
* COPYING: Merge from gnulib/doc/COPYINGv3.
* tests/init.sh: Merge from gnulib/tests/init.sh.
