Log Message:
coreutils: update to 9.12.

* Noteworthy changes in release 9.12 (2026-09-14) [stable]

** Bug fixes

  'chcon', 'chgrp', 'chmod', 'chown', 'du', 'ls' which traverse hierarchies with
  -R,  no longer fail merely because files may be being removed in parallel.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'comm - -' no longer closes standard input twice.  Previously it would
  mistakenly exit with a nonzero status.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'cp', 'install', and 'mv' now fall back to a standard copy
  if a --reflink=auto clone fails due to EDQUOT, ENOMEM, or ENOSPC.
  E.g., with XFS, a clone can exhaust metadata space in an allocation
  group, while a standard copy works.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]

  'cut -d' with multiple multi-byte delimiter options specified
  will correctly match the last delimiter specified.
  [bug introduced with multi-byte support in coreutils-9.11]

  'date -d '1-2-3' "+%_D"' no longer propagates flags like _ and - to the year
  component of the %D date specifier, keeping consistent component formatting.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.31]

  'du --max-depth=N' now exits with a nonzero exit status and an error message
  if N is negative.  Previously it behaved as if N were zero.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.4]

  'factor' avoids a buffer over-read (CWE-126) for certain values.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.8]

  'head' and 'tail' now quote names in file headers when needed.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'ls --color' no longer reads freed memory when LS_COLORS sets "ln=target"
  and later becomes unparsable, e.g., LS_COLORS='ln=target:x'.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'mv' now warns when copying extended attributes fails with ENOTSUP, e.g., when
  moving files to a file system that does not support them.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-7.3]

  'numfmt', 'printf', and 'seq' on Solaris, no longer output an extraneous e+00
  when using a large precision like "%.5119f".
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'pinky -l' no longer no longer prints output in the incorrect order when
  standard output is fully buffered, e.g., when redirected to a file.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.10]

  'pr' now exits gracefully upon exceeding internal accounting limits,
  like when processing large tab stops.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'ptx -G' no longer loops forever when the output width is smaller than
  twice the gap size, as with 'ptx -G -w4', or when a long reference
  leaves that little room, as with 'ptx -G -r'.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'ptx -W' no longer loops forever with a word regular expression that can
  match the empty string, like: echo ab | ptx -W 'a*'.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'shred' no longer blocks when opening a FIFO that has no readers.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'stty' no longer fails when the system uses speed encodings that
  are variations of the requested speed.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.8]

  'tee' no longer loops infinitely after writing all output if a write call sets
  errno to EAGAIN.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.11]

  'tee' no longer treats short writes as errors.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.11]

  'test' no longer treats '-a' and '-o' as operators when given as strings to a
  binary operator.  E.g., 'test -a -a -a' exits successfully instead of exiting
  with an error.
  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

  'truncate --reference=R' no longer hangs when R is a FIFO with no readers.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.17]

  'unexpand -t' no longer overflows a heap buffer, for tab values > SIZE_MAX/16,
  or with multi-byte blank characters longer than the tab value.
  [bugs introduced in coreutils-9.11]

  'uniq -w' no longer overruns the read buffer in multibyte locales.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.5]

  'wc' no longer reads past the end of a lookup table in legacy multibyte
  locales like SHIFT-JIS where a single byte can decode to a wide character.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.5]

  Messages from Gnulib are no longer mistranslated in non-English locales.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.6]

** New Features

  'env' now supports --env0-from=FILE to read NUL-delimited environment entries
  from a file.  With -i, entries are preserved exactly, allowing full
  round-tripping of environments containing duplicate or nonstandard entries.

  'stat' and 'tail' now know about the "failfs" and "nullfs" file system types.
  stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type,
  and tail -f uses inotify for these file systems.

  uname adds the -A,--all-labeled option to label all output, one item per line.

** Changes in behavior

  'env' and 'printenv' now quote printed environment variables honoring the
  QUOTING_STYLE environment variable, defaulting to shell-escape style. This
  avoids printing arbitrary data to the terminal and allows the output to be
  sourced by a POSIX shell.

  'ls' -w,--width no longer includes '\n' in the width of a line.
  I.e., the width or $COLUMNS is interpreted to be an _inclusive_ maximum.

  'stat' now uses shell quoting when required, to more robustly escape
  file names.  Previously it only quoted file names with the %N format.
  The default quoting honors the QUOTING_STYLE env variable (like %N).
  Also %Qn is a newly supported format combination to quote file names,
  leaving the existing %n format for when quoting is not desired.

** Improvements

  When built with the configure option '--with-wtmpdb', invocations of
  'who /var/log/wtmp' and 'users /var/log/wtmp' use the wtmpdb database
  instead of the file /var/log/wtmp.  This makes them Y2038-safe.

  'cut -w' operates more efficiently when extracting the start of a line
  in multi-byte locales, giving 4x more throughput with typical input.

  'df', 'du', 'ls', 'od', 'pr', and 'sort' now escape invalid arguments in error
  messages for options expecting an integer.

  'env -0, and 'printenv -0' now explicitly set binary mode on output
  so that no CRLF translation is done e.g., on windows.

  'install -C' will now avoid updating file metadata when the destination
  already has the appropriate ownership and permissions.

  'basename', 'dirname', 'du', 'readlink', and 'realpath' now quote output in
  shell-escape style when standard output is a terminal.  The QUOTING_STYLE
  environment variable can be used to adjust or disable the quoting.

  'ls -m' now quotes files names containing commas when appropriate,
  so users can better distinguish separating commas.

  'ls' now replaces newlines in file names if ambiguous with separators.
  Previously newlines were protected only when outputting to a terminal.

  'sort' will now better use available memory and parallel operation
  when reading from unknown sized inputs like pipes.

  'uniq -c' now operates up to 2.5x times faster on systems with unlocked stdio
  functions.

** Build-related

  'logname' now builds, where getlogin() is replaced (e.g. with musl),
  and systemd libs are being used, by linking the required libraries.

  The multi-call binary built with configure --enable-single-binary is reduced
  in size by around 10KB through the more efficient reuse of the 'test' code
  by '[', and the 'true' code by 'false'.

  configure no longer accepts the --with-linux-crypto option, which allowed
  cksum, md5sum, and sha*sum to use the Linux AF_ALG API.  This API will be
  deprecated in Linux 7.2 and is less performant than OpenSSL.

  The configure option '--enable-systemd' is renamed to '--with-systemd'.
  The option '--enable-systemd' was a misnomer and is now deprecated.

  The 'sort' binary now uses the UAPI Group's .note.dlopen ELF note
  to indicate its dependency on libcrypto.
