+2013-08-04 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Reduce memory consuption when handling the -T option.
+
+ The commit cdb27293 made the -T option more flexible, but
+ incurred a very considerable memory overhead by storing
+ all file names in the argument array. In case of very
+ big file lists this caused tar to run out of memory. This
+ was reported by Christian Wetzel <wetzel@phoenix-pacs.de>
+ on March 14, 2013
+ (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-03/msg00018.html).
+
+ On the other hand, Michal Žeidl discovered that tar misfunctioned
+ when given empty file lists or lists with the trailing newline
+ misssing in the last entry. This was reported by Pavel Raiskup
+ on July 23
+ (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-07/msg00009.html
+ and
+ msg00010.html).

+
+ Fix some problems with negative and out-of-range integers.
+
+ Original problem reported for HP-UX LVM v2.2 by Michael White in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2012-10/msg00000.html>.
+ This patch fixes some other gotchas that I noticed.
+ * gnulib.modules: Add extern-inline.
+ * src/common.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN,
+ _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
+ (COMMON_INLINE, max, min): New macros.
+ (represent_uintmax, valid_timespec): New inline functions.
+ (SYSINT_BUFSIZE): New constant.
+ (sysinttostr, strtosysint, decode_timespec): New decls.
+ * src/create.c (start_private_header): Silently bring the time_t
+ value into range; it is now the caller's responsibility to deal
+ with any overflow error. Use uid 0 and gid 0 rather than the
+ user's uid/gid, since the faked header isn't "owned" by the user
+ and the uid/gid could in theory be out of range. Leave major and
+ minor zeroed.
+ (FILL): Remove.
+ (write_gnu_long_link): Let start_private_header zero things out.
+ * src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link, write_extended):
+ * src/xheader.c (xheader_write_global):
+ Use start_time, not current time; no point hammering on the clock.
+ * src/compare.c (diff_multivol): Check that offset, size are
+ in range.
+ * src/incremen.c (read_incr_db_01, write_directory_file_entry):
+ Allow negative time_t, dev_t, and ino_t.
+ * src/list.c (max): Remove (moved to common.h).
+ (read_header): Check that size is in range.
+ (from_header): Return intmax_t, not uintmax_t, to allow negative.
+ All callers changed. At compile time, check assumptions about
+ intmax_t and uintmax_t. Use bool for booleans. Avoid overflow
+ hassles on picky hosts.
+ (mode_from_header): Last arg is now bool *, not unsigned *.
+ All callers changed.
+ (simple_print_header): Do not assume UID, GID fit in 'long'.
+ * src/list.c (from_header):
+ * src/xheader.c (out_of_range_header):
+ Arg is now a plain minimum value, not minus minval converted to
+ uintmax_t. All callers changed.
+ * src/misc.c (COMMON_INLINE): New macro.
+ (sysinttostr, strtosysint, decode_timespec): New functions.
+ * src/sparse.c (oldgnu_add_sparse, oldgnu_fixup_header)
+ (star_fixup_header):
+ Check for offset overflow.
+ (decode_num): Clear errno before calling strtoumax.
+ * src/tar.c (expand_pax_option): Don't discard nanoseconds.
+ * src/xheader.c (assign_time_option): Allow negative time_t.
+ (decode_record): Simplify, since out-of-range string is guaranteed
+ to produce a value exceeding len_max.
+ (xheader_read): Last arg is off_t, not size_t.
+ Caller should diagnose negative arg, as needed.
+ Check that it's in range.
+ (enum decode_time_status): Remove.
+ (_decode_time): Remove, folding into decode_time.
+ (decode_time): Return bool, not enum decode_time_status.
+ Rely on decode_timespec to do most of the work.
+ (code_signed_num): New function.
+ (code_num): Use it.
+ (decode_signed_num): New function.
+ (decode_num): Use it.
+ (gid_coder, gid_decoder, uid_coder, uid_decoder,
+ sparse_map_decoder)
+ (sparse_map_decoder): Code and decode negative values.
+ (sparse_map_decoder): Improve check for out-of-range values.
+ * tests/time01.at: New file.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
+ * tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
+
+2012-12-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Port use of mkdirat etc. to Solaris 10.
+
+ * gnulib.modules (fchmodat, fchownat, fstatat, mkdirat, unlinkat):
+ Add. These were split out in gnulib, so we now need to request
+ them separately. mkdirat, for example, is not in Solaris 10.
+
+2012-12-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+

+ tar: don't assume O_NONBLOCK is benign on regular files
+
+ On Data Migration Facility (DMF), High Peformance Storage System
+ (HPSS),
+ and presumably other file systems based on hierarchical storage,
+ opening
+ a regular file with O_NONBLOCK can cause later reads to fail with
+ errno == EAGAIN. We need the O_NONBLOCK to avoid some security
+ races.
+ Work around the problem by using fcntl to clear the O_NONBLOCK
+ flag if I/O fails with that errno value.
+ Problem reported by Vitezslav Cizek in

+
+ tar: don't cross struct member boundaries with OLDGNU_MAGIC
+
+ * src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link, start_header): Access
+ header->buffer + offsetof (struct posix_header, magic), instead of
+ header->header.magic, when reading or writing the OLDGNU_MAGIC
+ pattern. The code violates the C standard without this change,
+ and GCC warns about this if fortify checking is enabled. It's not
+ a bug on traditional (i.e., non-debugging) platforms, but it does
+ violate the C standard so it should be fixed. Problem originally

+
+ tests: port to sh variants that squirrel away file descriptors
+
+ OpenBSD /bin/sh, and some other sh variants, squirrel away file
+ descriptors before closing them. For example, for "cat 3<&-" they
+ first dup file descriptor 3 to a fd that is 10 or greater, then
+ close 3 (because if "cat" had been a builtin command like ":" then
+ they would have wanted to avoid the fork and restore the fd after
+ ":" finished); and they treat ordinary (forking) commands the same
+ as builtin commands. This approach fails after "ulimit -n 10".
+ Work around this deficiency by closing the file descriptors before
+ invoking ulimit. Problem reported by Christian Weisgerber in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-10/msg00041.html>;
+ solution suggested by Jilles Tjoelker in

+ tar: use more-accurate diagnostic when intermediate mkdir fails
+
+ Without this change, if tar tried to extract a file A/B/C, noticed
+ that A/B didn't exist, attempted to mkdir A/B, and the mkdir
+ failed, it did not diagnose the mkdir failure, but simply reported
+ the failure to open A/B/C. This sometimes led to confusion
+ because it wasn't clear what tar was trying to do, in particular
+ that tar tried to mkdir A/B. With this patch, tar issues two
+ diagnostics in this case: one for A/B and the other for A/B/C.

+ tests: port to NFS file servers with clock skew
+
+ Several of the tests assumed that a newly created file cannot
+ have a time stamp dated in the future. This assumption is not

+
+ tar: -x -C symlink fix
+

+ * src/common.h (deref_stat, set_file_atime): Adjust signatures.
+ * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Respect

+ (open_output_file): Add O_CLOEXEC, O_NOCTTY, O_NONBLOCK for
+ consistency with file creation. Add O_NOFOLLOW if
+ overwriting_old_files && ! dereference_option.
+ * src/incremen.c (update_parent_directory): Use fstat, not

+ anything to DIR if DIR is null.
+
+2010-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: prefer openat-style functions
+
+ This change replaces traditional functions like 'open' with the
+ POSIX.1-2008 functions like 'openat'. Mostly this is an internal
+ refactoring change, in preparation for further changes to close
+ some races.
+ * gnulib.modules: Add faccessat, linkat, mkfifoat, renameat,

+ Remove save-cwd.
+ * src/Makefile.am (tar_LDADD): Add $(LIB_EACCESS).

+ * src/extract.c (mark_after_links, file_newer_p, extract_dir):
+ (extract_link, apply_delayed_links):
+ Use fstatat rather than stat or lstat.
+ * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file, deref_stat): Likewise.
+ * src/extract.c (make_directories): Use mkdirat rather than mkdir.
+ Use faccessat rather than access. This fixes a minor permissions
+ bug when tar is running setuid (who would want to do that?!).
+ (open_output_file): Use openat rather than open.
+ In the process, this removes support for Masscomp's O_CTG files,
+ which aren't compatible with openat's signature. Masscomp! Wow!
+ That's a blast from the past. As far as I know, that operating
+ system hasn't been supported for more than 20 years.
+ (extract_link, apply_delayed_links):
+ Use linkat rather than link.
+ (extract_symlink, apply_delayed_links):
+ Use symlinkat rather than symlink.
+ (extract_node): Use mknodat rather than mknod.
+ (extract_fifo): Use mkfifoat rather than mkfifo.

+ * src/extract.c (rename_directory): Use renameat rather than
+ rename.
+ * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file, undo_last_backup): Likewise.
+ * src/misc.c: Don't include <save-cwd.h>; no longer needed now
+ that we're using openat etc.
+ (struct wd): Add member fd. Remove members err and fd. All uses
+ changed.
+ (CHDIR_CACHE_SIZE): New constant.
+ (wdcache, wdcache_count, chdir_fd): New vars.
+ (chdir_do): Use openat rather than save_cwd. Keep the cache up
+ to date. This code won't scale well, but is good enough for now.
+ * src/update.c (update_archive): Use openat + fdopendir +
+ streamsavedir rather than savedir.
+
+ This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual
+ ChangeLog
+ by make dist. Run make ChangeLog if you wish to create it

+
+2010-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+

+ (create_placeholder_file): Use it.
+ (delay_set_stat): Always delay setting status for . and /.
+ * src/misc.c (must_be_dot_or_slash): Now extern.

+
+2010-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: extract symlink attributes, close some symlink-related races
+
+ * NEWS: Describe symlink-extraction improvements.
+ * src/extract.c (enum permstatus): Remove.
+ (fchmod, fchown): Define dummy replacement macros if the system
+ does not supply them.
+ (implemented): New function.
+ (struct delayed_set_stat): Remove members invert_permissions,
+ permstatus. They were too confusing, and tried to do too much
+ in too-little space. Instead, add members current_mode,
+ current_mode_mask, interdir, atflag. All users changed.
+ (struct delayed_link): Add members mode, atime, mtime, to support
+ platforms such as BSD where symlinks have these attributes.
+ All users changed.
+ (fd_chmod): Renamed from fdchmod. New argument atflag. Check for
+ operation not supported at run-time, not at configure-time. Put
+ fd argument first. All callers changed.
+ (fd_chown): Likewise, renaming from fdchown.
+ (fd_stat): Likewise, renaming from fdstat.
+ (set_mode): Remove args stat_info, cur_info, invert_permissions,
+ permstatus. Add args mode, mode_mask, current_mode,
+ current_mode_mask,
+ atflag. All callers changed. Close some races. Use an easier-to
+ understand method for computing permissions. Work around POSIX
+ incompatibility in Linux fchmodat. Support extraction of symlink
+ modes, if the OS allows it.
+ (set_stat): Remove args cur_info, invert_permissions, permstatus.
+ Add args current_mode, current_mode_mask, interdir, atflag.
+ All callers changed. Close some races. Support extraction of
+ attributes on symlinks, if the OS allows it.
+ (delay_set_stat): Remove args invert_permissions, permstatus.
+ Add args current_mode, current_mode_mask, mode, atflag.
+ The ST arg can be null now, indicating that it's an intermediate
+ directory. All callers changed.
+ (repair_delayed_set_stat, apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat):
+ Close some races.
+ (extract_dir): Also be paranoid if only --same-permissions, due
+ to semantics of setgid and setuid directories on some hosts.
+ This closes a race on those hosts. Simplify calculation of
+ delay_set_stat arguments; the old code was truly strange and
+ probably wrong in some border cases.
+ (extract_dir, extract_file, extract_node, extract_fifo): Don't
+ rely on
+ unspecified behavior in mode arg of open, mknod, etc. Instead,
+ mask out those bits when creating the file, and add them later via
+ fchmod or chmodat.
+ (open_output_file): file_name is now const. Add arg current_mode,
+ current_mode_mask. All callers changed. When overwriting
+ old files,
+ refuse to overwrite something that is not a regular file, since
+ we're extracting a regular file.
+ (extract_file): Remove the FIXME comment. Whatever the protection
+ issues were, they should be fixed now. As a result of all
+ the other
+ API changes, we now use fchmod etc. rather than chmod etc.,
+ closing
+ some races.
+ (create_placeholder_file, apply_delayed_links): Record desired
+ mode and times for symlinks, for OSes that support that.
+
+2010-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: tar -x without --incremental no longer sets atime again
+
+ * src/extract.c (set_stat): Use UTIME_OMIT rather than UTIME_NOW.
+ The UTIME_NOW was there only to emulate the previous behavior of
+ using the current time, and the previous behavior was there only
+ because before we started assuming POSIX.1-2008 there was no
+ portable way to get the effect of UTIME_NOW.
+

+
+ * src/common.h (set_file_atime): Add parentfd arg.
+ * src/compare.c (diff_file): Use it.
+ * src/create.c (dump_file0): Likewise. This closes yet another
+ race condition with symbolic links.
+ * src/misc.c (set_file_atime): Add parentfd arg.
+
+2010-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: --atime-preserve fixes for races etc.
+
+ This patch fixes a race condition in the --atime-preserve=replace
+ option, which might cause tar to improperly follow a symbolic
+ link.
+
+ It also drops the use of the _FIOSATIME ioctl of Solaris 2.x
+ and later, which loses resolution on time stamps. Modern Solaris
+ systems support full-resolution time stamps in the kernel, and
+ it's not worth the hassle of testing this call, useful only in
+ no-longer-supported Solaris variants.
+
+ Also, it undoes a change I recently introduced to the --compare
+ option, which caused it to not follow symbolic links unless the
+ --dereference option was also used. Quite possibly this change is
+ a good idea, but the old behavior was documented and the change
+ should not have been installed casually.
+
+ * configure.ac: Don't check for stropts.h and sys/filio.h.
+ * gnulib.modules: Add futimens, utimensat. Remove futimens.
+ * src/common.h (fd_utimensat): New decl.
+ * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol):
+ Don't use open_read_flags: those are for --create only.
+ * src/create.c (dump_file0): Adjust to set_file_atime changes.
+ Pass fstatat_flags to set_file_atime, so that symbolic links are
+ not followed inadvertantly.
+ * src/extract.c: Don't include utimens.h.
+ (set_stat): Use fd_utimensat ant UTIME_NOW rather than fdutimens.
+ * src/misc.c: Don't include utimens.h, stropts.h, sys/filio.h.
+ (fd_utimensat): New function.
+ (set_file_atime): Use it. New arg atflag, controlling symlink
+ handling. All callers changed.
+
+2010-09-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac: tar: close some race conditions when extracting
+
+ * configure.ac: Check for fchmod and fchown. Don't check
+ for utimes.
+ * src/extract.c (fdchmod, fdchown, fdstat): New functions.
+ (set_mode, set_stat): New arg FD. All callers changed.
+ This avoids some race conditions between closing a regular file
+ and setting its metadata, and it's a bit faster.
+
+2010-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: don't worry about fdopendir closing its argument
+
+ * NEWS: Don't mention dirfd; no longer needed.
+ * gnulib.modules: Remove dirfd.
+ * src/create.c (get_directory_entries): Remove the code dealing
+ with dirfd failures, as the new fdopendir replacement doesn't
+ close its argument so we don't need to call dirfd. See
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-09/msg00208.html>

+
+ tar: live within system-supplied limits on file descriptors
+
+ * NEWS: Note the change. Mention dirfd and fdopendir.
+ * gnulib.modules: Add dirfd and fdopendir. The code was already
+ using fdopendir; dirfd is a new need.
+ * src/common.h (open_searchdir_flags, get_directory_entries):
+ (subfile_open, restore_parent_fd, tar_stat_close): New decls.
+ (check_exclusion_tags): Adjust signature to match code change.
+ * src/create.c (IMPOSTOR_ERRNO): New constant.
+ (check_exclusion_tags): First arg is now a struct tar_stat_info
+ const *, not an fd. All callers changed.
+ (dump_regular_file, dump_file0): A zero fd represents an unused
+ slot, so play it safe if the fd member is zero here. A negative
+ fd represents the negation of an errno value, so play it safe and
+ do not assign -1 to fd merely because an open fails.
+ (open_failure_recover, get_directory_entries, restore_parent_fd):
+ (subfile_open): New functions. These help to recover from file
+ descriptor exhaustion.
+ (dump_dir, dump_file0): Use them.
+ (dump_file0): Use tar_stat_close instead of rolling our own close.
+ * src/incremen.c (scan_directory): Use get_directory_entries,
+ subfile_open, etc., to recover from file descriptor exhaustion.
+ * src/names.c (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Likewise.
+ (collect_and_sort_names): A negative fd represents the negation
+ of an errno value, so play it safe and do not assign -1 to fd.
+ * src/tar.c (decode_options): Set open_searchdir_flags.
+ Add O_CLOEXEC to all the open flags.
+ (tar_stat_close): New function, which knows how to deal with
+ new convention for directory streams and file descriptors.
+ Diagnose 'close' failures.
+ (tar_stat_destroy): Use it.
+ * src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New member dirstream.
+ fd now has the negative of an errno value, not merely -1, if
+ the file could not be opened, so that failures to reopen
+ directories
+ are better-diagnosed later.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac11.at.

+
+ * NEWS: Document this.
+ * gnulib.modules: Add openat, readlinkat.

+ (cachedir_file_p, dump_file, check_exclusion_tags,

+ (name_fill_directory): Remove.
+ * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Use open_read_flags.
+ * src/create.c (struct exclusion_tag): Exclusion predicates
+ now take
+ a file descriptor, not a file name.
+ (add_exclusion_tag): Likewise. All uses changed.
+ (cachedir_file_p): Likewise.
+ (check_exclusion_tags): The directory is now a file descriptor,
+ not a file name. All uses changed. Use openat for better
+ traversal.
+ (file_dumpable_p): Arg is now a struct stat, not a struct
+ tar_stat_info. All uses changed. Check the arg's file types too.
+ (dump_dir0, dump_dir, dump_file0, dump_file): Omit top_level and
+ parent_device args, since st->parent tells us that now. All uses
+ changed.
+ (dump_dir): Likewise. Also, omit fd arg for similar reasons.
+ Apply fdsavedir to a dup of the file descriptor, since we need a
+ file descriptor for openat etc. as well, and fdsavedir (perhaps
+ unwisely) consumes its file descriptor when successful.
+ Do not consume st->fd when successful; this simplifies the caller.
+ (create_archive): Allocate a file descriptor when retraversing
+ a directory, during incremental dumps.
+ (dump_file0): Use fstatat, openat, and readlinkat for better
+ traversal.
+ When opening a file, use the result of fstat on the file
+ descriptor
+ rather than the fstatat on the directory entry, to avoid some race
+ conditions. No need to reopen the directory since we now
+ no longer
+ close it. Change "did we open the file?" test from 0 <= fd to
+ 0 < fd since fd == 0 now represents uninitialized.
+ (dump_file): Now accepts struct tar_stat_info describing parent,
+ not parent_device. Also, accept basename and fullname of entry.
+ All uses changed.
+ * src/incremen.c (update_parent_directory): Accept struct
+ tar_stat_info for parent, not name. All callers changed.
+ Use fstatat for safer directory traversal.
+ (procdir): Accept struct tar_stat_info, not struct stat and
+ dev_t, for info about directory. All callers changed.
+ (scan_directory): Accept struct tar_stat_info, not name,
+ device, and cmdline, for info about directory. All callers
+ changed. Do not consume the file descriptor, since caller
+ might need it. Use fstatat and openat for safer directory
+ traversal; also, use fstat after opening to double-check.
+ (name_fill_directory): Remove.
+ * src/names.c (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Accept struct
+ tar_stat_info instead of device and cmdline. All callers changed.
+ When descending into a subdirectory, use openat and fstat for
+ safer directory traversal.
+ (collect_and_sort_names): Use open and fstat for safer directory
+ traversal. Set up struct tar_stat_info for callee's new API.
+ * src/tar.c (decode_options): Initialize open_read_flags
+ and fstatat_flags.
+ (tar_stat_destroy): Close st->fd if it is positive (not zero!).
+ * src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New members parent, fd.
+ * src/update.c (update_archive): Adjust to dump_file's API change.
+ * tests/filerem02.at: Ignore stderr since its contents now depend
+ on the file system implementation.
+

+
+ tar: remove lint discovered by Sun C compiler
+
+ * src/common.h (WARN_ALL): Don't mask with 0xffffffff; on a 32-bit

+
+ The idea was suggested by Petr Sumbera in the thread starting

+ * src/extract.c (set_mode): Save the errno of the chmod that

+
+ * src/misc.c (normalize_filename): For now, go back to making

+ Fix --remove-files.
+
+ Tar --remove-files relied on canonicalize_file_name,

+
+ * gnulib.modules: Remove canonicalize.
