11 daysdoc: NEWS item for who systemd fixHEADmasterPaul Eggert-0/+6
11 daysbuild: update gnulib submodule to latestPaul Eggert-0/+0
14 daysyes: make operation independent of pipe sizePádraig Brady-18/+18
* src/yes.c (splice_write): Always drain what we've written to an internal pipe, so there is no possibility of vmsplice() blocking. I.e., be defensive in the case that fcntl() fails, and our default buffer size (currently 16kiB) is larger than the pipe. https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/253
14 daystests: reinstate logname error verificationBruno Haible-3/+4
* tests/misc/user.sh: Modify the "unshare -U logname" test, so that it does not fail on glibc versions (< 2.28, >= 2.38) that do a fallback lookup based on the tty.
14 daystests: fix false failure with dashPádraig Brady-1/+1
* tests/date/date-locale-hour.sh: Just strip the char before the last x, assuming it's going to be the newline output by `locale`. dash doesn't support $'' within ${}.
14 daysbuild: update gnulib submodule to latestCollin Funk-0/+0
14 daystests: Avoid accidental matching of the vendor field of $host, part 2Collin Funk-3/+2
* tests/local.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove host_triplet. * tests/chgrp/basic.sh: Use $host_os instead of $host_triplet. * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Likewise.
2026-04-16tests: mktemp: test the behavior when writing to standard output failsCollin Funk-0/+37
* tests/mktemp/write-error.sh: New file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add the test.
2026-04-16build: update gnulib to latestPádraig Brady-0/+0
2026-04-16tests: avoid a failure on muslCollin Funk-0/+9
* tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Allow a generic error string on musl since the first line is emitted immediately instead of being buffered as expected. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-16build: fix build failure on AIXPádraig Brady-2/+7
* m4/jm-macros.m4: AIX has a splice() function for TCP, so check for vmsplice() instead. * src/splice.h: Define HAVE_SPLICE if vmsplice available. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-16test: avoid false failure on OpenBSDPádraig Brady-1/+2
* tests/numfmt/numfmt.pl: Use standard getopt error map, needed on OpenBSD. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-16tests: avoid false failure with hidden /proc on GuixPádraig Brady-1/+4
* tests/stat/stat-mount.sh: Don't try our stat under unshare unless mount(8) exits gracefully. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-16tests: avoid failure on Manjaro LinuxPádraig Brady-2/+3
* tests/misc/user.sh: Comment out part of test. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-16cksum: fix --length validation on 32 bit platformsPádraig Brady-1/+1
Fix an unreleased issue due to the recent change to using idx_t in commit v9.10-91-g02983e493 * src/cksum.c (main): Limit the possible return to the range supported by idx_t. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-16tests: fix false failure due to ulimit usagePádraig Brady-3/+4
* tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Run getlimits_ to ensure we have $SSIZE_MAX etc. available. Also give some buffer for the configured ulimit to leave space for returns_ to work.
2026-04-16tests: avoid failure on older Centos 7Pádraig Brady-1/+5
* tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh: Old Centos 7 can give EINVAL from SEEK_DATA on sparse files being copied from /dev/shm. Avoid this failure as it's not practical to fix.
2026-04-16tests: fix false failure on Centos 7Pádraig Brady-1/+2
* tests/date/date-locale-hour.sh: Ensure `locale date_fmt` is propagated exactly, even when it contains trailing new lines, as was seen with Serbian locales on Centos 7.
2026-04-15build: update gnulib to latestPádraig Brady-0/+0
2026-04-15tests: avoid intermittent false failures with kshPádraig Brady-0/+6
As noted in https://bugs.gnu.org/9089 ksh gives intermittent ECONNRESET errors with closed pipes. This can be seen reliably on Linux with: ksh -c 'yes | (sleep .1; head -n10 >/dev/null)' * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Avoid part of test on ksh. * tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Likewise.
2026-04-15tests: use more accurate ulimit with $SHELL -cPádraig Brady-1/+1
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Use a more accurate ulimit determination when we're using $SHELL -c.
2026-04-15tests: avoid $SHELL -c "ulimit ..." patternPádraig Brady-26/+16
As described in commit v9.10-283-g5cb0cca3b avoid using ulimit with $SHELL -c, and explict invocation of the shell like that can require lots of memory, often due to loading the locale archive. * tests/basenc/bounded-memory.sh: Avoid $SHELL -c with ulimit. * tests/cut/bounded-memory.sh: Likewise. * tests/expand/bounded-memory.sh Likewise. * tests/pr/bounded-memory.sh Likewise. * tests/unexpand/bounded-memory.sh Likewise. * tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Bring the ulimit bound down to the standard 6M over the determined limit.
2026-04-15tests: fix false failure due to racePádraig Brady-23/+37
* tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: Fix a race that commit v9.10-269-gf312af49a made more apparent, and resulted in intermittent failure like: "... (with input) didn't produce expected output". Now Instead of waiting for overlapping echo and output, just wait for EOF, and if received, use exp->before() to inspect the accumulated output.
2026-04-15df: improve detection of duplicate entriesLukáš Zaoral-4/+12
Do not compare only with the latest entry for given device id but also all previously saved entries with the same id. * src/df.c (struct devlist): Add next_same_dev struct member. (filter_mount_list): Iterate over next_same_dev to find duplicates. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add test cases. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHEL-5649
2026-04-12tests: fix false failure under some shellsPádraig Brady-4/+3
Verified with: make -j4 PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL=/bin/ksh SUBDIRS=. check * tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Don't timeout $SHELL -c ... as the ulimit induces a failure in the subshell depending on the order of the allocations it does. The main issue is disparity between the probed ulimit and that needed by $SHELL -c. Such subshells load the often very large locale archive, thus if there are any allocations done after the now too low ulimit is set, then the $SHELL command fails. Note we timeout fold rather than the whole pipeline so any 124 exit status is propagated.
2026-04-11tests: validate error handling when reading multiple filesPádraig Brady-41/+53
* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Validate that commands which read multiple files, read all files on error, and exit with appropriate status.
2026-04-11mktemp: prefer rmdir and unlink to removeCollin Funk-2/+1
This avoids the following behavior: $ strace -e silence=exit -e trace=unlink,rmdir \ mktemp -d > /dev/full unlink("/tmp/tmp.ZBuPmS9ZGD") = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) rmdir("/tmp/tmp.ZBuPmS9ZGD") = 0 mktemp: write error: No space left on device In the above invocation we know that we created a directory, so we should not remove a regular file that must have been created by another process: $ strace -e silence=exit -e trace=unlink,rmdir \ ./src/mktemp -d > /dev/full rmdir("/tmp/tmp.hGbME1HmJr") = 0 mktemp: write error: No space left on device * src/mktemp.c (main): Prefer rmdir and unlink depending on whether we created a directory or regular file. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove the remove module.
2026-04-10cat: avoid redundant pipe creation and resizingCollin Funk-20/+28
* src/cat.c (splice_cat): Don't bother resizing input as it generally doesn't help perf, and also save an fstat per input. Don't close the intermediate pipe once created, unless there is an error reading from it. Co-authored-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2026-04-10tests: validate command responsivenessPádraig Brady-1/+88
* tests/misc/responsive.sh: Test commands that should output immediately upon receiving input, and that there is no unecessary buffering. * cfg.mk: Avoid false failure in sc_prohibit_test_backticks. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
2026-04-10tests: stat: ensure independence from /proc/Pádraig Brady-1/+9
* tests/stat/stat-mount.sh: Ensure stat -c '%a' is independent from /proc. https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/pull/250
2026-04-10tests: cut: ensure separate read paths checkedPádraig Brady-1/+1
* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Use cut -b as that has a separate read path to cut -c.
2026-04-10tests: Avoid accidental matching of the vendor field of $hostBruno Haible-15/+15
* tests/chgrp/basic.sh: Test $host_os, not $host_triplet. * tests/chown/separator.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/r-root.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail/pipe-f.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail/tail-c.sh: Likewise. * tests/tee/tee.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/dangling-symlink.sh: Likewise.
2026-04-09env: avoid locking standard output for each printed variableCollin Funk-3/+5
* src/env.c (main): Use fputs and putchar instead of printf.
2026-04-09printenv: avoid locking standard output for each printed variableCollin Funk-3/+6
* src/printenv.c (main): Use fputs and putchar instead of printf.
2026-04-09maint: remove last remaining assert()Pádraig Brady-1/+1
* src/split.c (bytes_chunk_extract): Prefer affirm to assert, as it allows for better static checking when compiling with -DNDEBUG.
2026-04-09maint: move tty-eof.pl to misc directoryPádraig Brady-1/+1
* tests/tty/tty-eof.pl: Rename to ... * tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: ... this more general directory. * tests/local.mk: Adjust accordingly.
2026-04-09tests: tty-eof.pl: address FIXME re hardcoded Ctrl-dPádraig Brady-4/+34
* tests/tty/tty-eof.pl: Try to explicitly set EOF char to Ctrl-d in case it's different.
2026-04-09tests: tty-eof.pl: make fully table drivenPádraig Brady-8/+8
* tests/tty/tty-eof.pl: Remove command specific logic, and adjust commands to support general input. Also add cut -b, as cut_bytes has its own read loop.
2026-04-09tests: all: check empty tty input is handled appropriatelyPádraig Brady-40/+56
* tests/tty/tty-eof.pl: Test all commands twice. Once with input and once with empty input.
2026-04-09maint: cat: avoid coverity NULL dreference warningPádraig Brady-0/+3
* src/cat.c (ensure_buf_size): Affirm we won't return NULL;
2026-04-09cat: avoid memory allocation per filePádraig Brady-18/+32
* src/cat.c (main): Only resize the allocated buffer when needed, which avoids per file heap manipulation and mmap/munmap syscalls.
2026-04-09cat: fix splice() from empty inputPádraig Brady-0/+2
* src/cat.c (splice_cat): Ensure we don't retry a read() after splice() completes, as this is significant on a tty.
2026-04-09tests: tee: ensure intermittent data is handledoech3-0/+5
* tests/tee/tee.sh: Add test case for input from pipe containing sleep. https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/pull/247
2026-04-08maint: touch: prefer timespec_cmpCollin Funk-4/+2
* src/touch.c (main): Use timespec_cmp instead of comparing each member of the timespec.
2026-04-07tests: date: fix false failure on OpenBSD 7.8Pádraig Brady-2/+4
* tests/date/date.pl: Set the max supported year to INT_MAX. Most systems support INT_MAX+1900, but mktime() on OpenBSD 7.8 limits the passed tm_year to INT_MAX. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-07tests: numfmt: avoid false failure on systems without long doublePádraig Brady-5/+5
* tests/numfmt/numfmt.pl: Move recently added test that depends on long double support to the appropriately guarded set. Also reduce the value to be in the definitely safe long double range. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-04-07maint: cut: avoid discarded-qualifiers warningsPádraig Brady-5/+5
Seen on GCC 15.2.1 with GLIBC 2.43 on Arch Not seen on GCC 15.2.1 on GLIBC 2.42 on Fedora * src/cut.c (search_bytes): Cast the return from memchr() to avoid const propagation. (find_field_delim): Adjust the return from strstr() similarly. https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/244
2026-04-07tests: cat: avoid false failure on systems without splicePádraig Brady-1/+8
* tests/cat/splice.sh: Ensure splice is called multiple times before we check specific invocation counts. On Linux kernel 5.10 for example, splice from /dev/zero returns EINVAL.
2026-04-06cat: use splice if operating on pipes or if copy_file_range failsCollin Funk-16/+236
