<title>tests: use compare-vs-/dev/null instead of 'test -s'</title>

<content type='text'>
When some program produces unexpected output, that use of
compare-vs-/dev/null will ensure that the surprising output is
printed in the test's output.  With "test -s err" only, one
would have to instrument and rerun in order to see the offending
output.

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Exempt 'compare' from this check.

"compare /dev/null ... &amp;&amp; fail=1".

* tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Likewise.

<title>tests: add extra protection against unexpected exits</title>

<id>urn:sha1:58cff8a009ed9b8280c5f35074cef97231286023</id>
<content type='text'>
Many tests use `program ... &amp;&amp; fail=1` to ensure expected
error situations are indicated.  However that would mask
an unexpected exit (like a crash).  Therefore explicitly
check the expected exit code.
Note where error messages are also verified, the extra
protection is not added.

* tests/init.sh (returns_): A new helper function to
check the return code of a command, and used
throughout the tests.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Add a syntax check
to avoid new instances of this issue.

<title>chroot: perform chdir("/") again unless new --skip-chdir is specified</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0cf7b1d928acaaddd4eaa28c6a22f7bd6457b379</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit v8.22-94-g99960ee, chroot(1) skips the chroot(2) syscall
for "/" arguments (and synonyms).  The problem is that it also skips
the following chdir("/") call in that case.  The latter breaks existing
scripts which expect "/" to be the working directory inside the chroot.
While the first part of the change - i.e., skipping chroot("/") - is
okay for consistency with systems where it might succeed for a non-root
user, the second part might be malicious, e.g.

  cd /home/user &amp;&amp; chroot '/' bin/foo

In the "best" case, chroot(1) could not execute 'bin/foo' with ENOENT,
but in the worst case, chroot(1) would execute '/home/user/bin/foo' in
the case that exists - instead of '/bin/foo'.

Revert that second part of the patch, i.e., perform the chdir("/)
in the common case again - unless the new --skip-chdir option is
specified.  Restrict this new option to the case of "/" arguments.

* src/chroot.c (SKIP_CHDIR): Add enum.
(long_opts): Add entry for the new --skip-chdir option.
(usage): Add --skip-chdir option, and while at it, move the other
to options into alphabetical order.
(main): Accept the above new option, allowing it only in the case
when NEWROOT is the old "/".
Move down the chdir() call after the if-clause to ensure it is
run in any case - unless --skip-chdir is specified.
Add a 'newroot' variable for the new root directory as it is used
in a couple of places now.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Invert the last tests which check the
working directory of the execvp()ed program when a "/"-like
argument was passed: now expect it to be "/" - unless --skip-chdir
is given.
* doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Document the new option.
Document that chroot(1) usually calls chdir("/") unless the new
--skip-chdir option is specified.  Sort options.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the fix.
(New features): Mention the new option.
* init.cfg (nonroot_has_perm_): Add chroot's new --skip-chdir option.
* tests/cp/preserve-gid.sh (t1): Likewise.
* tests/cp/special-bits.sh: Likewise.
* tests/id/setgid.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise.

This works for any program that might also be a shell built-in.
It is more concise.  In addition, it makes output more reproducible:
some diagnostics include argv[0], which will now be just the program
name, rather than the full absolute name of the executable.
* tests/misc/sort-compress.sh: Use env kill, rather than absolute name.
* tests/install/trap.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/timeout.sh: Likewise.
* tests/touch/no-dereference.sh: Do the same for two uses of "test".

<title>tests: use predetermined NON_ROOT_GID</title>

<id>urn:sha1:acb422bdd1b325285bb46883f02d8fc6402efd14</id>
<content type='text'>
* HACKING: GID is more useful in tests than group name, so rename
input param from NON_ROOT_GROUP to NON_ROOT_GID to make it obvious
that only a group ID is now acceptable, thus allowing GID lookups
to be avoided throughout the tests.
* init.cfg (require_root_): Likewise.
* tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Avoid looking up the GID.
* tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Likewise.  Also fix an instance
of comparison against NON_ROOT_GROUP which would have given a false
failure if a non numeric value was passed in.
* tests/id/setgid.sh: Use previously looked up gid as a more
accurate base for the subsequent adjustment, and move
the uid lookup within chroot, rather than having the overhead
of a separate `id` invocation.
