As split is often dealing with large files,
ensure we indicate to the kernel our sequential access pattern.
This was seen to operate 5% faster when reading from SSD,
as tested with:
dd bs=1M count=2K if=/dev/urandom of=big.in
for split in split.orig split; do
# Ensure big file is not cached
dd of=big.in oflag=nocache conv=notrunc,fdatasync count=0 status=none
# Test read efficiency
CWD=$PWD; (cd /dev/shm && time $CWD/src/$split -n2 $CWD/big.in)
done
real 0m9.039s
user 0m0.055s
sys 0m3.510s
real 0m8.568s
user 0m0.056s
sys 0m3.752s
* src/split.c (main): Use fdadvise to help the kernel
choose a more appropriate readahead buffer.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
This fixes failures in "very-expensive" tests on FTS with many
directory entries:
FAIL: tests/rm/ext3-perf
FAIL: tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM
The following shows the problem in the former of the above tests:
$ mkdir d && seq 400000 | env -C d xargs touch )
$ rm -rf d
rm: traversal failed: d: Operation not supported
Gnulib commit 3f0950f65abb (2023-04-26) introduced this regression
which was fixed again with gnulib commit d4d8abb39eb0.
See discussion in
<https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2023-05/msg00040.html>
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Change "year2038-required" to
"year2038-recommended"; the module has been replaced.
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* tests/init.sh: Likewise.
Before:
$ pr --expand-tabs=
pr: '-e' extra characters or invalid number in the argument:
‘SHELL=/bin/bash’: Value too large for defined data type
After:
$ pr --expand-tabs=
pr: '-e': Invalid argument: ‘’
* src/pr.c (getoptarg): Ensure we don't parse beyond the
end of an empty argument, thus outputting arbitrary stack
info in subsequent error messages.

This doesn’t change behavior; it just clarifies the code a bit.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): New arg DST_SRC_NAME, for clarity, and so
that we need to skip '/'s only once. Caller changed.
Rename a couple of local variables to try to make things clearer.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): Ensure copy_acl() is passed an absolute path.
* tests/cp/cp-parents.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/63245
* README: State that DEBUG=yes is particularly useful with perl tests.
* tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Use the more standard $DEBUG variable
rather than an internal $DEBUGGING variable.
* configure.ac (WERROR_CFLAGS): Omit mention of
-Wno-analyzer-double-free, -Wno-analyzer-null-dereference, and
-Wno-analyzer-use-after-free as manywarnings no longer uses them.
* src/csplit.c, src/fmt.c, src/make-prime-list.c, src/nohup.c:
Add pragmas to pacify GCC 13 when coreutils is configured
with --enable-gcc-warnings='expensive'.
* src/chmod.c (main): Use xpalloc instead of X2REALLOC,
and make the corresponding variables signed instead of unsigned.
When reallocating the buffer, this grows it by a factor of 1.5, not 2.
This also pacifies gcc -Wanalyzer-null-dereference.
* src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Refactor for clarity.
This also xpacifies gcc -Wanalyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value.
When reallocating the buffer, grow it by a factor of 1.5, not 2.
* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Exercise more modes of
various utilities for better read error coverage.
* tests/split/fail.sh: Remove part refactored into the above test.
Avoid the following error with -mno-ssse3:
inlining failed in call to 'always_inline' '_mm_shuffle_epi8':
target specific option mismatch
* configure.ac: Ensure we use ssse3 specific code when
checking whether to enable the pclmul cksum implementation.
* src/pr.c (init_parameters): Ensure we avoid a 0 lines_per_body
which was possible when adjusting for double spacing.
That caused print_page() to always return true,
causing an infinite loop.
* tests/pr/pr-tests.pl: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Fixes https://bugs.debian.org/1034808
Since skipping of files is central to the operation of -i and -u,
and with -u one may be updating few files out of many,
reinstate the verbosity of this functionality as it was before 9.3.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Only output "skipped" message
with --debug. Also adjust so message never changes with --debug.
* tests/cp/cp-i.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/mv/mv-n.sh: Likewise.
* tests/cp/debug.sh: Add explicit test case for message.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
When run under QEmu emulation emulated /proc files have
unstable inode numbers.
* tests/cp/proc-short-read.sh: Skip if unstable inode numbers detected.
* src/install.c (strip): Prepend "./" to file names with a leading "-".
* tests/install/strip-program.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Reported in https://bugs.debian.org/1034429
* tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: Ensure we don't erroneously
skip commands with parameters.
Comment as to why cut(1) is treated differently.
Adjust expect calls to not wait needlessly for cut output.
* tests/cp/sparse-2.sh: Don't depend on the copy taking
<= allocation of the source. Instead leverage --debug
to check that zero detection is being enabled.
Fix a build failure seen on gcc 3.4 on Solaris 10 at least.
* src/crctab.c: Ensure we include config.h for all compilation units.
This is now required for new _Noreturn usage in gnulib for stdint.h.
* src/cksum.c: Update generation code to ensure config.h included.
* cfg.mk: Remove crctab.c exclusion from the config.h check.
* src/wc.c (wc): Update the offset when not reading,
and do read if we can't update the offset.
* tests/misc/wc-proc.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/61300
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior to issue a "not replaced"
error diagnostic with -n, and the "skipped" message with -v.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust to output the "skipped" messages
depending on -i, -n, -u.
* tests/cp/cp-i.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/mv/mv-n.sh: Likewise.
Add --update=none which is equivalent to the --no-clobber behavior
from before coreutils 9.2. I.e. existing files are unconditionally
skipped, and them not being replaced does not affect the exit status.
* src/copy.h [enum Update_type]: A new type to support parameters
to the --update command line option.
[enum Interactive]: Add I_ALWAYS_SKIP.
* src/copy.c: Treat I_ALWAYS_SKIP like I_ALWAYS_NO (-n),
except that we don't fail when skipping.
* src/system.h (emit_update_parameters_note): A new function
to output the description of the new --update parameters.
* src/cp.c (main): Parse --update arguments, ensuring that
-n takes precedence if specified.
(usage): Describe the new option. Also allude that
-u is related in the -n description.
* src/mv.c: Accept the new --update parameters and
update usage() accordingly.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new --update
parameters. Also reference --update from the --no-clobber description.
(mv invocation): Likewise.
* tests/mv/update.sh: Test the new parameters.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/62572
* gnulib: Reference the latest gnulib including the
fix to the backupfile module in commit 94496522.
* tests/cp/backup-dir.sh: Add a test to ensure
we rename appropriately when backing up through subdirs.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/62607
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Call cleanup_ in all cases to ensure
there are no overlapping interactions on the fifo that
might impact later parts of the test. This was seen to
cause issue with dash on musl libc.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/62542
* tests/misc/csplit-heap.sh: More memory is required to avoid
a false failure on some systems. Noticed with musl libc
with bash as the shell. This is confirmed to still easily
trigger with the original memory leak being tested.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/62542
* src/wc.c (wc): Use INT_ADD_WRAPV() to detect overflow.
(main): Upon overflow, saturate the total, print a diagnostic,
and set exit status.
* tests/misc/wc-total.sh: Add a test case, which operates
on BTRFS and 64 bit systems at least.
Reported at https://bugs.debian.org/1027100
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* src/dircolors.c: Fail upon read error from getline().
* tests/misc/dircolors.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
