* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Only auto-calculate
the suffix length when the number of files is specified.

and exercise the suffix length auto-calculation.

<title>sort: use at most 8 threads by default</title>

<content type='text'>
* src/sort.c (main): If --parallel isn't specified,
restrict the number of threads to 8 by default.
If the --parallel option is specified, then
allow any number of threads to be set, independent
of the number of processors on the system.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document the changes
to determining the number of threads to use.
Mention the memory overhead when using multiple threads.
* tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Allow single core
systems that support pthreads.
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise.
* tests/misc/sort-unique-segv: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.

<title>sort: fix hang with sort --compress</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1b31ce6982a9151d9dfe2ea3595ad7595cb9ca86</id>
<content type='text'>
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/sort.c (UNCOMPRESSED, UNREAPED, REAPED): New constants.
(struct tempnode): New member 'state', to hold these constants.
The pid member is now undefined if state == UNCOMPRESSED.
(struct sortfile): Replace member 'pid' with member 'temp'.
(uintptr): Remove.
(proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator, register_proc, delete_proc):
Proctab entries are now struct tempnode *, not pid_t, to handle
the case where multiple tempnode objects correspond to the same
pid.  This avoids a race condition that can cause a hang.
(register_proc): Arg is now struct tempnode *, not pid_t.  All
callers changed.
(delete_proc): Set tempnode state to REAPED.
(create_temp_file): No need to set pid member here; it's now
done when the pid is known.
(maybe_create_temp, create_temp): Remove PPID arg.  Return struct
tempnode *, not char *.  All callers changed.
(maybe_create_temp): Set node state to UNCOMPRESSED or UNREAPED.
No need to set node-&gt;pid to 0.
(open_temp): Replace NAME and PID args with a single TEMP arg.
All callers changed.  Wait only for unreaped children.
(zaptemp): Wait for decompressor to finish before removing its
temporary-file input.  This avoids .nfsXXXX hassles with NFS
and fixes a race (leading to a hang) regardless of NFS.
(open_input_files): Adjust to new way of dealing with temp files
and their subprocesses.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-compress-hang.
* tests/misc/sort-compress-hang: New file.

<title>sort: don't dump core when merging from input twice</title>

<content type='text'>
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/sort.c (avoid_trashing_input): The previous fix to this
function didn't fix all the problems with this code.  Replace it
with something simpler: just copy the input file.  This doesn't
change the number of files, so return void instead of the updated
file count.  Caller changed.
* tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: Test for the bug.

<title>tests: default to /tmp as the temporary directory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dcb3f60d0af77ec06d58e4fa18c8ee2b80d10cc6</id>
<content type='text'>
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Default TMPDIR to /tmp,
rather than to the working directory; this is more common in
practice, which makes the tests more real-worldish; and it is
often faster.  Also, it avoids some problems with NFS cleanups.
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Remove unnecessary code setting TMPDIR.
* tests/misc/sort-compress-proc: Likewise.  Do the final sleep
only if TMPDIR is relative, which should be rarely given the
change to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.

<id>urn:sha1:0da4d843003e9d38624e19c24c7fb670f1bb4749</id>
<content type='text'>
* src/sort.c (uintptr): New type.
(enum procstate, struct procnode, update_proc): Remove.
(proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator, register_proc, wait_proc):
(reap_some): The proctab is now simply a hash of process-IDs
rather than of pointers to objects with reference counts and
states; this is smaller and faster and easier to understand.
(nprocs): Now pid_t, not size_t, since one cannot have more than
PID_MAX children.
(reap): If the argument is -1, wait; if 0 (a new value), do not.
Delete pid from proctab as needed.  Ignore children that are not
in proctab, as they are from the program that exec'ed us and are
irrelevant to our success or failure.
(delete_proc, reap_all): New functions.
(open_temp): Register the child.
(sort): Clean up all children afterwards; without this patch,
'sort' sometimes missed failures in children due to race conditions.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-compress-proc.
* tests/misc/sort-compress-proc: New file, to test for the
bugs fixed above.

that is done in init.sh.  This avoids a syntax-check failure.
Invoke "Exit $fail" at end, too.
