* Makefile.am: Use ln rather than $(LN_S) for hardlinks.
* configure.ac: Accept --enable-single-binary=hardlinks.
* man/local.mk: In hardlink mode, explicitly add the
hardlink creation rule to mandeps. Given the automake
generated dependency chain, this ensures that the hardlinks
are created _after_ the multicall binary, with `make all`
or `make check` etc.
* src/local.mk: Define the new src/coreutils_hardlinks rule,
and only depend on src/coreutils_{symlinks,shebangs} if
in those modes, so that hardlinks are created _after_
the multicall binary, and other link types before.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/129
A more precise fix than commit v9.7-322-gc2e1816a5
* configure.ac (USE_NLS): new AM_CONDITIONAL.
* src/local.mk: add @INTL_MACOSX_LIBS@ to <prog>_LDADD that need it.
The build can be force enabled with --with-selinux and vice versa.
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Move chcon and runcon
to the list of optional programs.
* configure.ac: Only enable chcon and runcon if selinux.h is available.
* NEWS: Mention the Build-related change.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/121
* configure.ac (FORTIFY_SOURCE): Don’t indent a line
where the indentation can cause trailing white space in config.h.
Problem reported by Grisha Levit (Bug#79567).
* configure.ac: Add detection of AVX512 intrinsics for wc.
* src/local.mk: Build AVX512 wc libraries.
* src/wc.c: Add runtime detection of AVX512 intrinsics and call
appropriate function when detected.
* src/wc.h (wc_lines_avx512): Declare function.
* tests/wc/wc-cpu.sh: Add a test that disables AVX512 intrinsics.
* src/wc_avx512.c: New file containing the wc -l implementation using
AVX512. The logic and code is reused from the AVX2 implementation with
slight adaptations. Replaced __builtin_popcount by __builtin_popcountll
and the combination of _mm256_cmpeq_epi8 and _mm256_movemask_epi8 by a
single call to _mm512_cmpeq_epi8_mask.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* configure.ac: Check for statx using gl_CHECK_FUNCS_ANDROID since it is
hidden for Android API level <= 30.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for syncfs using
gl_CHECK_FUNCS_ANDROID since it is hidden for Android API level <= 28.
This compiler lacks support for the x86-64 VPCLMULQDQ instruction;
compiles fail with "error: invalid cpu feature string for builtin".
Problem reported by Peter Dyballa, and fix suggested by
Pádraig Brady <https://bugs.gnu.org/78562#8>.
* configure.ac (USE_AVX512_CRC32):
Also check that __builtin_cpu_supports ("vpclmulqdq") compiles.
* configure.ac (GNULIB_TEST_WARN_CFLAGS):
Do not use -Wsuggest-attribute=cold, -Wsuggest-attribute=const,
-Wsuggest-attribute=format as they produce false positives with
GCC 15 x86-64. Use -Wmissing-variable-declarations, as it no
longer seems to hurt.
* configure.ac: Simplify the setup of GCC’s -W... options,
by removing options no longer needed for GCC 15 (when
configuring with --enable-gcc-warnings) or GCC 12 (without).
I hope this is good enough nowadays.
Add GCC 15’s -Wtrailing-whitespace, since that works for us.
* configure.ac (LIBCRYPTO_SONAME): Store library name in cache so we
do not end up with an empty value for it when a cache file is used.
The configure variable name is changed from utils_cv_dlopen_libcrypto
to utils_cv_libcrypto_soname.
I thought of a way to pacify -Wswitch-enum without much trouble.
Either add all the enums, or if that’s too verbose use ‘switch (+E)’
to indicate to the reader that there need not be a case for
every enum value. Since this approach improves static checking,
make the change everywhere and check it with -Wswitch-enum.
* configure.ac: Compile with -Wswitch-enum if it works and
--enable-gcc-warnings. No need to remove -Wswitch-default
since Gnulib no longer adds it.
* src/chmod.c (describe_change):

Add unreachable () for unreachable cases.
* src/digest.c (main):

Omit unnecessary ‘default: break;’ that merely pacified GCC,
as the new pacification style is better.
* src/ls.c (decode_line_length):
Add default unreachable case to prevent warning that function
might not return a value.
(gobble_file): Distinguish DEREF_NEVER from unreachable cases.
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years
are the only change from the previous gnulib commit.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* configure.ac: Disable GCC 14’s -Wmissing-variable-declarations
in the test directory, as it’s not worth the aggravation there.
Likewise for GCC's -Wsuggest-attribute=cold.
* src/wc_avx2.c (wc_lines_avx2): Change from
_mm256_sub_epi8() + _mm256_sad_epu8() to
_mm256_movemask_epi8() + __builtin_popcount().
This will allow adjusting the I/O size above 16KiB.
* configure.ac: Align check with routines used in wc_avx2.c.
* configure.ac: Wrap the following with AC_CACHE_VAL,
so that they can be cached / overridden. We use
the "utils_cv_" prefix as they're coreutils specific overrides.
utils_cv_avx2_intrinsic_exists,
utils_cv_brain_16_bit_supported,
utils_cv_ieee_16_bit_supported,
utils_cv_pclmul_intrinsic_exists,
utils_cv_stdbuf_supported.
Recent clang provides __bf16 on aarch64 but it is broken.
If built with -O0, the conversion is wrong:
$ printf '\x3F\x80' | od --end=big -An -tfB | tr -d ' '
1.875
If built with -O1 or higher, compilation fails:
fatal error: error in backend:
Cannot select: 0xb400007a58d29780: f32 = fp_extend 0xb40000...
0xb40000...: bf16,ch = CopyFromReg 0xb40000..., Register:bf16 %13
0xb40000...: bf16 = Register %13
In function: print_bfloat
The latter issue does not cause the existing configure test to fail
because the promotion is optimized out.
* configure.ac: Ensure 16 bit float promotion code does not get
optimized out, and produces an expected result.
* configure.ac: Test where to find the dlopen function. Set LIB_DL.
Use it in the DLOPEN_LIBCRYPTO test.
* src/local.mk (src_sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_DL).
One should link the versioned lib at runtime,
and the unversioned lib at build time,
as the unversioned lib may not be installed,
and better couples the binary with the required version.
* configure.ac: Define LIBCRYPTO_SONAME, determined from
the test binary linked with -lcrypto. Also document
why we use SHA512() in the check, rather than MD5().
* src/sort.c (link_libcrypto): Use the versioned lib in dlopen().
This saves time in the usual case, which does not need -lcrypto.
* configure.ac (DLOPEN_LIBCRYPTO): New macro.
* src/sort.c [DLOPEN_LIBCRYPTO && HAVE_OPENSSL_MD5]: New macros
MD5_Init, MD5_Update, MD5_Final. Include "md5.h" after defining
them. Include <dlfcn.h>, and define new functions link_failure
and symbol_address.
(link_libcrypto): New function.
(random_md5_state_init): Call it before using crypto functions.
* configure.ac: Ensure the compiler can promote 16 bit floating point
types to float, before enabling that code in od. This was an issue
with clang 16 at least.
* src/od.c: Adjust for the new defines.
* tests/od/od-float.sh: Likewise. Also port to the dash shell,
whose inbuilt printf doesn't support hex escapes.
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years
are the only change from the previous gnulib commit.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Manually update copyright year,
until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* configure.ac: Clang now seems to have -Wformat-extra-args,
-Wimplicit-const-int-float-conversion, and
-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare on by default,
so disable them even if --enable-gcc-warnings is not used.
Rely on Gnulib’s check for clang rather than rolling our own.
* configure.ac: Remove obsolete macro call.
Recent autoconf warns that it is obsolete.
AC_PROG_CPP sets up the -traditional-cpp option if required.
GCC ignores -traditional since commit f458d1d5 (2002).
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/67756
* configure.ac (GNULIB_WCHAR_SINGLE_LOCALE): Define.
This can improve performance, while dropping support for
rare encodings on non-GNU platforms. Nowadays these encodings
are typically not worth the hassle.
Omit checks no longer needed now that we use strsignal.
* configure.ac: Do not check for strsignal-related decls.
* src/kill.c (sys_siglist, strsignal): Remove.
Most of this just affects commentary and documentations. The only
significant behavior change is translating author names via
proper_name_lite rather than proper_name_utf8, or not translating
them at all. proper_name_lite is good enough for coreutils and
avoids the bloat that had coreutils not using Gnulib proper_name.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use propername-lite instead
of propername.
(XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Look for proper_name_lite instead of for
proper_name_utf8.
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove
sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV, since we no longer use
proper_name_utf8.
(old_NEWS_hash): Update.
(sc_check-I18N-AUTHORS): Remove; no longer needed.
(This patch is coauthored with Bruno Haible,
with original version at <https://bugs.gnu.org/64937#>.)
This updates the gnulib submodule to latest.
For year-2038 safety on Linux/{x86,arm},
this adds an --enable-systemd option to ‘configure’.
The idea is that this sort of thing will become the default
after it has been tested more.
* configure.ac: Don't test whether struct utmp and struct utmpx
have the ut_host field; this is now done in gnulib's readutmp module.
* src/local.mk: Link the programs 'pinky', 'uptime', 'users',
'who' with $(READUTMP_LIB).
* src/pinky.c, src/who.c:
Test HAVE_STRUCT_XTMP_UT_HOST instead of HAVE_UT_HOST.
* src/pinky.c (print_entry):
* src/who.c (print_user, print_deadprocs, print_login)
(print_initspawn, scan_entries):
Support the situation where ut_line is a 'char *' rather than a
'char[]' of fixed size. Likewise for ut_user and ut_host.
(make_id_equals_comment): Likewise for ut_id.
* src/pinky.c (print_entry):
* src/who.c (print_user):
Open /dev to simplify looking up its entries.
Don’t use printf if the output might in theory be longer than INT_MAX.
* src/pinky.c (scan_entries, short_pinky):
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime, uptime):
* src/users.c (list_entries_users, users):
* src/who.c (who):
Use idx_t where new read_utmp needs it.
* src/system.h (STREQ_LEN): Add comment that last arg can be -1.
Problem reported by Dave Hansen <https://bugs.gnu.org/64058>.
Apply similar change to cksum and pclmul, too.
* NEWS: Mention wc fix.
* configure.ac (cpuid_exists, get_cpuid_count_exists):
Remove. All uses removed, since we no longer use __get_cpuid or
__get_cpuid_count.
(pclmul_intrinsic_exists, avx2_intrinsic_exists): Set to no if
__builtin_cpu_supports calls cannot be compiled.
(HAVE_PCLMUL_INTRINSIC, HAVE_AVX2_INTRINSIC): Remove; unused.
Simplify surrounding code because of this.
* src/cksum.c (pclmul_supported):
* src/wc.c (avx2_supported):
Use __builtin_cpu_supports instead of doing it by hand.
Simplify surrounding code because of this.
Tested on gcc 13.1.1 with: make CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb'
* configure.ac: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for gnulib.
This warning is far too problematic in my experience:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88443
and triggers with gcc -O0 with versions 12,13 at least.
* 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.
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.
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Manually update copyright year,
until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
It's more common to use bold style than not,
for references to other man pages.
Ideally each man page renderer would highlight references,
but currently some rely on styles in the page itself.
* man/help2man: Implement a --bold-refs option that
will mark up references like "name(1)" with bold
style around the "name" component.
* man/local.mk: Pass --bold-refs to our help2man unless disabled.
* configure.ac: Add a --disable-bold-man-page-references option.
