2026-04-17tests: 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.
2026-04-16tests: Avoid accidental matching of the vendor field of $host, part 2Collin Funk-1/+1
* 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: 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.
2026-04-16tests: avoid failure on Manjaro LinuxPádraig Brady-2/+3
* tests/misc/user.sh: Comment out part of test. Reported by Bruno Haible.
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: 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.
2026-04-11tests: 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.
2026-04-10tests: validate command responsivenessPádraig Brady-0/+85
* 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: cut: ensure separate read paths checkedPádraig Brady-1/+1

* tests/misc/yes.sh: Disable other related zero-copy syscalls to ensure better testing of future or other implementations. https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/pull/227
2026-03-21tac: promptly diagnose write errorsCollin Funk-0/+1
This patch also fixes a bug where 'tac' would print a vague error on some inputs: $ seq 10000 | ./src/tac-prev > /dev/full tac-prev: write error $ seq 10000 | ./src/tac > /dev/full tac: write error: No space left on device In this case ferror (stdout) is true, but errno has been set back to zero by a successful fclose (stdout) call. * src/tac.c (output): Call write_error() if fwrite fails. * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Check that 'tac' prints a detailed write error. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2026-03-21tests: support checking for specific write errorsPádraig Brady-3/+8
* tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Support checkout for a specific error in commands that don't run indefinitely. Currently all the explicitly listed commands output a specific error and do not need to be tagged.
2026-03-10yes: use a zero-copy implementation via (vm)splicePádraig Brady-0/+20
A good reference for the concepts used here is: https://mazzo.li/posts/fast-pipes.html We don't consider huge pages or busy loops here, but use vmsplice(), and splice() to get significant speedups: i7-5600U-laptop $ taskset 1 yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null ... [4.98GiB/s] i7-5600U-laptop $ taskset 1 src/yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null ... [34.1GiB/s] IBM,9043-MRX $ taskset 1 yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null ... [11.6GiB/s] IBM,9043-MRX $ taskset 1 src/yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null ... [175GiB/s] Also throughput to file (on BTRFS) was seen to increase significantly. With a Fedora 43 laptop improving from 690MiB/s to 1.1GiB/s. * bootstrap.conf: Ensure sys/uio.h is present. This was an existing transitive dependency. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SPLICE appropriately. We assume vmsplice() is available if splice() is as they were introduced at the same time to Linux and glibc. * src/yes.c (repeat_pattern): A new function to efficiently duplicate a pattern in a buffer with memcpy calls that double in size. This also makes the setup for the existing write() path more efficient. (pipe_splice_size): A new function to increase the kernel pipe buffer if possible, and use an appropriately sized buffer based on that (25%). (splice_write): A new function to call vmplice() when outputting to a pipe, and also splice() if outputting to a non-pipe. * tests/misc/yes.sh: Verify the non-pipe output case, (main): Adjust to always calling write on the minimal buffer first, then trying vmsplice(), then falling back to write from bigger buffer. and the vmsplice() fallback to write() case. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2026-03-03maint: tests: decouple debug output determinationPádraig Brady-14/+3
* tests/misc/warning-errors.sh: Simply check there is output to stderr before checking that output induces an error.
2026-03-03tests: avoid false test failure when using address sanitizerCollin Funk-0/+3
* tests/misc/warning-errors.sh: Skip commands which have been built with sanitizers, since standard error will not be closed and checked for errors. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-03-02tests: avoid failure on systems without an optimized 'cksum' or 'wc -l'Collin Funk-0/+10
* tests/misc/warning-errors.sh: Expect 'wc' and 'cksum' to exit successfully if there is not an optimized 'wc -l' implementation or CRC32 implementation. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2026-02-26id: promptly diagnose write errorsCollin Funk-0/+1
* NEWS: Mention the improvement. * src/id.c (print_stuff): Call fflush for each listed user to check for write errors. * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Add an invocation of 'id'.
