Note that IBRIX used to have a different magic number 0x013111A7
instead of the current 0x013111A8. However, the former is no longer
used and the version of IBRIX it was used in is really ancient, so
it's extremely unlikely anyone is still using it. Therefore, just
add the newer magic number.
Mark IBRIX as a 'remote' file system type as inotify support had
never been officially tested with it.

tee is very often used with pipes and this gives better control
when writing to them. There are 3 classes of file descriptors
that tee can write to: files(1), pipes(2), and early close pipes(3).
Handling write errors to 1 & 2 is supported at present with the caveat
that failure writing to any pipe will terminate tee immediately.
Handling write errors to type 3 is not currently supported.
To improve the supported combinations we add these options:
--write-error=warn
Warn if error writing any output including pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any output had error.
--write-error=warn-nopipe, -p
Warn if error writing any output except pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any non pipe output had error.
--write-error=exit
Exit if error writing any output including pipes.
--write-error=exit-nopipe
Exit if error writing any output except pipes.
Use the "nopipe" variants when files are of types 1 and 3, otherwise
use the standard variants with types 1 and 2. A caveat with the above
scheme is that a combination of pipe types (2 & 3) is not supported
robustly. I.e. if you use the "nopipe" variants when using both type
2 and 3 pipes, then any "real" errors on type 2 pipes will not be
diagnosed.
Note also a general issue with type 3 pipes that are not on tee's
stdout, is that shell constructs don't allow to distinguish early
close from real failures. For example `tee >(head -n1) | grep -m1 ..`
can't distinguish between an error or an early close in "head" pipe,
while the fail on the grep part of the pipe is distinguished
independently from the resulting pipe errors. This is a general
issue with the >() construct, rather than with tee itself.

Since v5.2.1-1247-g8dafbe5, tee(1) treated '-' as stdout while POSIX

This patch fixes the handling of sub-bind-mount cycles which are
incorrectly detected as the file system errors. If you bind mount the
directory 'a' to its subdirectory 'a/b/c' and then run 'du a/b' you
will get the circular dependency warning even though nothing is wrong
with the file system. This happens because the first directory that is
traversed twice in this case is not a bind mount but a child of bind
mount. The solution is to traverse all the directories in the cycle
that fts detected and check whether they are not a (bind) mount.
* src/du.c (mount_point_in_fts_cycle): New function that checks whether
any of the directories in the cycle that fts detected is a mount point.
* src/du.c (process_file): Update the function to use the new function
that looks up all the directories in the fts cycle instead of only the
last one.

We may run into a race condition if we treat hard links to the same file
as distinct files. If we do 'mv a b' and 'mv b a' in parallel, both a
and b can disappear from the file system. The reason is that in this
case the unlink on src is called and the system calls can end up being
run in the order where unlink(a) and unlink(b) are the last two system
calls. Therefore exit with an error code so that we avoid the potential
data loss.

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 && 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.

Add the --enable-single-binary option to the configure file.
When enabled, this option builds a single binary file containing
the selected tools. Which tool gets executed depends on the value
of argv[0] which can be set implicitly through symlinks to the
single program.
This setup reduces significantly the size of a complete coreutils
install, since code from lib/libcoreutils.a is not duplicated in
every one of the more than 100 binaries. Runtime overhead is
increased due to more dynamic libraries being loaded, and extra
initialization being performed for all utils. Also initially
a larger binary is loaded from storage, though this is usually
alleviated due to caching and lazy mmaping of unused blocks,
and in fact the single binary should have better caching
characteristics.
Comparing the size of the individual versus single binary on x86_64:
$ cd src
$ size coreutils
$ size -t $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
text data bss dec hex filename
1097416 5388 88432 1191236 122d44 src/coreutils
4901010 124964 163768 5189742 4f306e (TOTALS)
Storage requirements are reduced similarly:
$ cd src
$ du -h coreutils
$ du -ch $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
1.2M coreutils
5.3M total
When installing, the makefile will create either symlinks or
shebangs based on the --enable-single-binary setting, for
each configured tool. In this way, all the tools are still
callable individually, but they are all implemented by the same
"coreutils" binary installed on the same directory.

* src/df.c (last_device_for_mount): A new function to identify
the last device mounted for a mount point.
(get_disk): Use the above to discard mount entries for a device,
where a later mount entry uses a different device name than
that of the user specified device.
* tests/df/over-mount-device.sh: A new root test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Reword for all these related recent fixes.
Discussed at: http://bugs.gnu.org/16539#69
A system provided mount entry may be unavailable due to TOCTOU race,
or if another device has been over-mounted at that position, or due to
access permissions. In all these cases output "-" placeholder values
rather than either producing an error, or in the over-mount case
outputting values for the wrong device.
* src/df.c (device_list): A new global list now updated by
filter_mount_list().
(filter_mount_list): Adjust to take a parameter as to whether
update the global mount list, or only the mount <-> device ID mapping.
(get_dev): Use the device ID mapping to ensure we're not outputting
stats for the wrong device. Also output placeholder values when we
can't access a system specified mount point.
(get_all_entries): Set the DEVICE_ONLY param for filter_mount_list().
(devname_for_dev): A new function to search the mount <-> dev mapping.
* test/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fixes.
Discussed at: http://bugs.gnu.org/16539
* src/du.c (process_file): Treat cycles due to bind mounts
like cycles due to following symlinks.
* tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

* src/seq.c (main): Avoid seq_fast() with a start or end of -0.
* tests/misc/seq.pl: Add test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17800
Veritas File System can run in single instance or clustered mode,
so mark as remote to avoid using inotify for the latter case.
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Tag VXFS as remote, to use polling
for the clustered variant (VXCFS).
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17770
* src/install.c (install_file_in_file_parents): Factor out the
creation of any parent directories into ...
(mkancesdirs_safe_wd): ... this new function.
(install_file_in_dir): Add the parameter 'mkdir_and_install', and
call the above new function if it evaluates to true.
(main): During parsing of the -t option, move the check whether
the target_directory exists down after the option parsing loop,
and do not complain about stat(optarg,...) failing if -D was given.
Pass 'mkdir_and_install' to install_file_in_dir().
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Remove the (false)
restriction that -D would be ignored together with -t. Instead,
clarify install's new bahavior.
Fix the node's reference in the top-level @direntry for consistency.
* src/install/basic-1.sh: Add tests for the now-allowed combination
of the -D and -t options.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
commits v8.20-98-g51ce0bf and v8.20-99-gd302aed changed cut(1)
to process each line independently and thus promptly output
each line without buffering. As part of those changes we removed
the special handling of --delimiter=$'\n' --fields=... which
could be used to select arbitrary (ranges of) lines, so as to
simplify and optimize the implementation while also matching the
behavior of different cut(1) implementations.
However that GNU behavior was in place for a long time, and
could be useful in certain cases like making a separated list like
`seq 10 | cut -f1- -d$'\n' --output-delimiter=,` although other tools
like head(1) and paste(1) are more suited to this operation.
This patch reinstates that functionality but restricts the
"line behind" buffering behavior to only the -d$'\n' case.
We also fix the following related edge case to be more consistent:
before> printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
2
before> printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
1
after > printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l
1
after > printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l

* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust as discussed above.
* tests/misc/cut.pl: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior both for v8.21
and this effective revert.
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust for originally omitted v8.21 entry.
* src/paste.c: s/delimeter/delimiter/ comment typo fix.
The device name reported for a particular mount entry
may no longer be valid if the mount point was subsequently
mounted on a different device. Therefore honor the order
of the mount list returned by the system and use the last
reported device name.
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): When discarding the current
mount entry, ensure that a new device name is not also discarded.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add a test case. Also fix
a false failure in the edge case of a system with only a
single file system.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
It's dangerous and confusing to leave root's supplemental
groups in place when specifying other users with --userspec.
In the edge case that that is desired one can explicitly
specify --groups.
Also we implicitly set the system defined supplemental groups
for a user. The existing mechanism where supplemental groups
needed to be explicitly specified is confusing and not general
when the lookup needs to be done within the chroot.
Also we extend the --groups syntax slightly to allow clearing
the set of supplementary groups using --groups=''.
* src/chroot.c (setgroups): On systems without supplemental groups,
clearing then is a noop and so should return success.
(main): Lookup the primary GID with getpwuid() when just a numeric
uid is specified, and also infer the USERNAME from this call,
needed when we're later looking up the supplemental groups for a user.
Support clearing supplemental groups, either implicitly for
unknown users, or explicitly when --groups='' is specified.
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Various new test cases
* doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Adjust for the new behavior.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
