util-linux 2.42 Release Notes
=============================
The NTFS mount type (kernel FS driver) can be changed by the compile option
--with-ntfs-mounttype=, the default is ntfs3.
login(1) now uses the original FQDN (as specified by "-h <host>") to configure
the PAM RHOST item. All previous versions used the hostname without domain.
This may affect users who use login(1) for remote access (rlogin, rsh) and
pam_access to define access rules. (Don't worry, if you still use rlogin then
security is already irrelevant for you.)
login(1), if configured with LOGIN_SHELL_FALLBACK in login.defs, can fall back
to another valid shell from /etc/shells if the user's configured shell is
inaccessible due to administrative errors.
agetty reads issue file(s) in a way compatible with libeconf and systemd,
hermetic-usr and drop-ins are now supported. For more details see
https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/configuration_files_specification/
agetty uses netlink to get network interface information for issue file output.
The libsmartcols-based tools with JSON support can now produce additional JSON
formats. The output format may be changed by LIBSMARTCOLS_JSON={lines,compact}
environment variable.
column(1) now supports colors.
New command copyfilerange(1) to copy file ranges using the copy_file_range()
syscall.
New command getino(1) to print the unique inode number associated with a
process file descriptor or namespace for a given PID.
fadvise(1) now supports --fd to address a file by file descriptor rather than
by path.
fallocate(1) now supports --report-holes to scan the file and report the
distribution of holes.
A significant performance regression has been fixed in hardlink(1).
hardlink(1) now supports FIEMAP-based sparse file optimization.
kill(1), waitpid(1) and nsenter(1) now support the PID:INO convention to
precisely address processes.
mount(8) now supports --beneath to atomically replace a filesystem at a
mountpoint.
mount(8) now supports --exclusive to ensure that the filesystem is mounted as a
unique instance and that the superblock is not reused by the kernel.
libmount now reads filesystem information from udevd (with fallback to classic
libblkid-based detection). This feature can be disabled by
--disable-libmount-udev-support.
setarch(8) now supports --pid to show the personality of a specified process.
The pager support for tools like "dmesg -H" has been improved to work better
with signals.
losetup(8) now supports --remove to remove a loop device node from the system.
lsblk(8), lslocks(8), lsmem(1) and lsclocks(1) support <NAME>_COLUMNS
environment variable to specify output columns as an alternative to --output.
lsfd(1) now supports new UNIX.IPEER, PACKET.PROTOCOL.RAW and TUN.DEVNETNS
columns.
setpriv(1) now supports landlock via --landlock-access and --landlock-rule
options.

It appears the test for this is run on looong64 and fails there (failing the
entire build), at least in the Debian build infra.

The ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE feature is currently not enabled on
loong64.
The lsmem tool displays the setting found in
/sys/module/memory_hotplug/parameters/memmap_on_memory. If this path
does not exist, lsmem will not show the parameter. As a result, the test
fails.
To resolve this, the test should first verify whether the file
/sys/module/memory_hotplug/parameters/memmap_on_memory exists. If it is
missing, the test should skip the output related to the "Memmap
on memory parameter". I will check how the test logic can be updated and
give it a try.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumanth

Hi Chris,
Could you please try the following?

Subject: [PATCH] lsmem: correct memmap-on-memory test output
* The "Memmap on memory parameter" line may show "yes", "no",
or may not appear at all if the feature is not supported.
Because this changes between systems, stop checking this line
in the tests.
* When --sysroot is used, do not read /sys/firmware/memory
(used on s390). This makes sure lsmem reads only the memory
directories inside the given sysroot, so the directory list
is correct.

Hi Karel, Christian,
Debian CI found a regression in the unshare command when using
--map-user with numeric UIDs. This worked in 2.41 and earlier:
% unshare --version && unshare --user --map-auto --map-user=65536 id
unshare from util-linux 2.41.3
uid=65536 gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup)
And is broken in 2.42-rc1:
% unshare --version && unshare --user --map-auto --map-user=65536 id
unshare from util-linux 2.42-rc1
unshare: failed to parse uid '65536'
Note the following (true in both cases):
$ grep 65536 /etc/passwd
%
I suspect (but did not verify yet) this was introduced in
commit 0a7fb806118bc4418e231081bd13c69bbc31b988
> unshare: use the new ul_get{grp,userpw}_str() routines
>

Thanks to Helmut Grohne for reducing the failed debvm CI run to the
short unshare command.
Best,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thank you for pointing out this regression.
The problem is that if ul_getuserpw_str() cannot find any user with the provided
UID or username, the unshare internal helper function get_user() will error out
and stop argument parsing, even if a valid numeric value was provided. Previously,
the code would fallback to simply converting the string to an unsigned int and use
it for the uid_t, so I added that behavior back.
I found this issue to be true for the --map-group option as well, so I went ahead and fixed
both cases in this latest patch: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/pull/4134/changes/c74df906b67b2f9930662ca4e1ba04c21569d529
Please let us know if this fixed the problem on your end.

Subject: unshare regression in 2.42-rc1
Hi Karel, Christian,
Debian CI found a regression in the unshare command when using
--map-user with numeric UIDs. This worked in 2.41 and earlier:
% unshare --version && unshare --user --map-auto --map-user=65536 id
unshare from util-linux 2.41.3
uid=65536 gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup)
And is broken in 2.42-rc1:
% unshare --version && unshare --user --map-auto --map-user=65536 id
unshare from util-linux 2.42-rc1
unshare: failed to parse uid '65536'
Note the following (true in both cases):
$ grep 65536 /etc/passwd
%
I suspect (but did not verify yet) this was introduced in
commit 0a7fb806118bc4418e231081bd13c69bbc31b988

Thanks to Helmut Grohne for reducing the failed debvm CI run to the
short unshare command.
Best,
Chris

With the patch applied, the debvm tests succeed once again.
So this seems good.
I see Karel has in the meantime merged a different approach. I'll
recheck with 2.42-rc2.
Thank you,
Chris
