Changelog:
4.85 September 27, 2011
John Dzubera <Zube@CS.ColoState.EDU> kindly provided a patched
Solaris 9 test system with the lgrp_root conflict and I was
able to devise an automatic work-around for the conflict. The
special note in .../dialects/sun/machine.h was removed and
the 17.28.1 FAQ entry was modified to reflect the update.
Added a Solaris 11 work-around for a typedef problem with
<sys/mutex.h>. Carson Gaspar <carson@taltos.org> reported
the problem and supplied the work-around.
Added support for FreeBSD 7.4 and 8.2; tested on systems
provided by Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org>.
Added support for 32 bit Solaris 11 lsof with mods supplied
by Jan Wortelboer <J.H.P.Wortelboer@uva.nl>.
Added Solaris 11 support for using an alternate genunix
location. Bill Goodridge <bill@its.brooklyn.cuny.edu>
reported the alternate location.
Added further Linux cross configuration support to lsof's
Configure script. The additional support was supplied by
Grant Erickson <erick205@umn.edu>. See the descriptions of
the LINUX_* environmen variables in 00XCONFIG for more
information. Tested lsof on Linux kernel 2.6.32 and picked
some lint that surfaced during the test.
Added fixes and changes for Apple Mac OS X 10.6, provided by
Allan Nathanson <ajn@apple.com>. Allan also provided a test
system.
Tested on FreeBSD 6.4 i386, using a test system provided by
Terry Kennedy <TERRY@tmk.com>. Updated for recent FreeBSD ZFS
changes on an 8.2 amd64 test system also provided by Terry.
Changed documentation to indicate FreeBSD 7.x is no longer
supported, since I no longer have a test system.
Made some changes to the lsof man page, suggested by Navid
<evi1m4chine@googlemail.com>.
Added compensation for Solaris 10 systems that have patch
144488-10. The patch requires that the new header file
<sys/socket_proto.h> be included while _KERNEL is defined.
Brett Bartick <Brett.bartick@nomura.com> reported the problem
first, followed by Stuart Anderson <anderson@ligo.caltech.edu>.
Michael Hocke <michael.hocke@nyu.edu> suggested a work-around
which I refined to limit it to the specific Solaris 10 instance
and then tested on a system provided by Charles Stephens
<cfs@cowlabs.com>
Added the +|-e option for Linux. It exempts file systems
named by path from function calls that might block in the
kernel -- i.e., stat(2) and lstat(2), and when the +e form
is used, readlink (2). The new packager of lsof for the
Linux Fedora and RHEL distributions, Peter Schiffer
<pschiffe@redhat.com>, asked for the feature so it could
be used with Clearcase file systems, whose implementation
can block stat(2) calls. I consider this feature very risky
and easy to misuse -- e.g., specifying the file system as
'/' would exempt all file systems. I don't intend to
propagate this option to any other UNIX dialect that lsof
currently supports.
Made FreeBSD 9 adjustment.
Fixed a Linux bug that prevented the display of paths for
abstact UNIX sockets. Masatake Yamato <yamato@redhat.com>
reported the bug and supplied a patch.
Added compensation for the removal of RPC header files from
GlibC 2.14 for Linux. Marek Behun <kabel@blackhole.sk>
reported the problem and supplied a patch.
Added support for Linux Netlink protocol. Masatake Yamato
requested the support and supplied a patch. Peter Schiffer
<pschiffe@redhat.com> provided a test system.
Corrected Linux UDP6-lite path. The error was reported by
Masatake Yamato and he also supplied a patch.
4.86 April 10, 2012
Lsof for AIX is no longer supported on any versions of that
operating system.
Added information about the clang compiler for FreeBSD to the
FAQ.
Corrected an arg.c bug in the accumulation of +|-e option
values, reported by Peter Schiffer <pschiffe@redhat.com>.
This correction was supplied as a patch to revision 4.85.
Enabled FreeBSD 10 support and tested it there on a system
provided by Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org>.
Updated for latest Solaris 11 with patches supplied by
Carson Gaspar <carson@taltos.org>. Carson supplied a test
system.
Adjusted Linux file system search method to compensate for
NFS mounts that have duplicate device numbers. The problem
was reported by Peter Schiffer <pschiffe@redhat.com>, who
provided a test system.
At the request of Peter Schiffer <pschiffe@redhat.com>, added
support for Linux SCTP socket files. Peter provided a test
system. Applied a warning patch supplied by Peter.
Added support for Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), provided by Allan
Nathanson <ajn@apple.com>. Allan also supplied a test
system.
Enabled FreeBSD 8.3 support and tested it there on a system
provided by Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org>.
Corrected the FAQ information on ZFS with Solaris 10 after
Steven Blackmon <stblackm@cisco.com> and Prasad Jampala
<jampalp@cisco.com> pointed out that it was incorrect --
i.e., outdated by the libctf changes at revision 4.83.
Added code to handle a Linux NFS-mounted root. Jia He
<hejianet@linux.vnet.ibm.com> reported the need for this.
4.87 January 2, 2013
Added an entry to 00FAQ about lsof behavior when the
HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSECURITY options are defined.
Carson Gaspar <carson@taltos.org> pointed out the need
for this clarification.
Added a work-around for a missing definition of mach_port_t
in Darwin 9 (Mac OS/X 10.5.8). The work-around was supplied
by Jim Reid <jim@rfc1035.com>.
Added support for Linux anon_inodefs, provided by Masatake
YAMATO <yamato@redhat.com>.
Documented a Solaris 9 and 10 portmap reporting problem
(+M) in 00FAQ. The problem was reported by Clint
Roberts <Clint.Roberts@ttius.com>. I have no solution
to the problem, but discuss a possible work-around in
the answer to this 00FAQ question: "Why doesn't lsof
report portmap registrations for some Solaris versions?"
Added FreeBSD support for the oldnfs and newnfs file system
types. Daniel Braniss <danny@cs.huji.ac.il> reported the
need for the addition.
Added ICMP socket support for Linux with code provided by
Masatake YAMATO <yamato@redhat.com>.
Corrected the reporting of process group ID for libproc
versions of Mac OS X with a patch from Jeff Trawick
<trawick@gmail.com>. The patch has not been applied to
Darwin kmem versions, because of little call for them
and inadequate test system access. The patch has been
tested on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), courtesy of a
test system provided by Allan Nathanson <ajn@apple.com>.
Added thread support to those FreeBSD versions that have
ki_numthreads in their kinfo_proc structure. This also
activates the -K option for those FreeBSD versions. Jeff
Trawick reported problems with FreeBSD lsof when threads
are present and this addition solves those problems.
Made changes to 00FAQ and the distribution, suggested by
Warren Young <warren@etr-usa.com>. The 00FAQ changes
center on sections that discuss the -s option. The changes
to the distribution include a ChangeLog file that is either
a pointer to or a copy of 00DIST, the distribution notes.
Added support to FreeBSD for using the clang compiler.
Added Linux support for using the getxattr() call to obtain
socket protocol identification when it is can't be obtained
from the /proc/net files that lsof examines. Masatake YAMATO
<yamato@redhat.com> developed the kernel patch to getxattr()
and supplied the lsof patch.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
an array of pointer (in struct fdtab) rather than a pointer of pointers.
Sadly for us, no, arrays and pointers are not equivalent from a memory
perspective: while pointers from/to another address space can
be consumed by kvm(3) to query for data in kernel space, arrays
are more tricky, especially when their content is copied in userland:
they are part of the copied struct.
Address of array members are only valid in their own address space,
in our case userland, which is (fortunately?) different from kernel space.
This breaks the various kvm_read() calls that query for file descriptor
information. Consequence: lsof(1) cannot print filedescriptor information
(starting from 5.99.14), and silently ignores the errors, as using
the userland fdtab (``dt'' variable) is not valid for kernel.
Fix that by using the ``fd_dt'' member of struct filedes, which stores
the address of the fdtab struct in kernel address space. Took a few hours
to understand what was going on with lsof(1), hmmm.
Luckily, fstat(1) uses the proper model (checked about 5min ago). Why
lsof(1) decided not to log an error on kvm_read() is... a good question.
Bump rev.
Release Notes:
4.83 January 18, 2010
Converted Solaris 10 and above ZFS support to use the CTF
debugger library, libctf. Code was supplied by Robert
Byrnes <Robert.Byrnes@deshaw.com>.
Corrected a typo in the testing of the LINUX_HASSELINUX
environment variable in the Configure script. The error
was reported by Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>.
At Mike's request made Configure script accept LSOF_RANLIB
(ranlib command), LSOF_CFGF (additional configuration flags)
and LSOF_CFGL (additional library specifications) from the
environment.
Enabled complilation of Solaris 10 lsof after a recent Sun
patch which changed the PC file system's structure. Peter
Vernam <pvernam@draper.com> reported the problem and helped
with the fix.
Made the sort of configuration CFLAGS in the CkTestDB
script impervious to locale settings.
Ported to Solaris 11, using a test system kindly provided
by David Day <dday76@gmail.com>.
Adjusted to the disappearance of <nfs/rpcv2.h> in FreeBSD
8.0-BETA1.
Changed Solaris node type lookup to a hashed method and
added some ability for it to handle duplicate vnodeop names
in /dev/ksyms.
Updated for FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT. Andrzej Tobola
<ato@iem.pw.edu.pl> provided a test system. Extends the
fix to FreeBSD 6.0 and above via a Configure test and a
compile-time definition. The need for the extension was
reported by Erik Trulsson <ertr1013@student.uu.se>>
Made corrections to FAQ typographical errors, suggested
by Josh Soref <timeless@gmail.com>.
Added __UCLIBC__ test to Linux dlsof.h so lsof would compile
on an Intel ARM XScale processor. The addition was provided
by Doug Kehn <rdkehn@yahoo.com>.
Added test for <utmpx.h> to FreeBSD configuration. Improved
its use in lsof.h. The changes were supplied by Martin Wilke
<miwi@FreeBSD.org>.
4.82 March 25, 2009
Corrected an over-zealous exclusion test that caused
lsof to report nothing when it was given no arguments
and built with HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSECURITY enabled.
Joshua Kinard <kumba@gentoo.org> reported the bug and
supplied information for reproducing it.
Based on a report from Dan Trinkle <trinkle@cs.purdue.edu>
corrected use of <sys/utsname.h> for 32 bit Solaris 10
and above compilations. Simultaneously eliminated a
casting complaint in arg.c and updated Configure to use
the appropriate 64 bit compilation option (-xarch=v9 or
-m64) with the Solaris Sun C compiler.
Updated for FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE with information
supplied by Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org>.
Updated the Darwin libproc sources with changes from
Allan Nathanson <ajn@apple.com>. Tested them on a iMac
mini, provided by Apple Inc. Allan also provided man
page corrections.
Updated the FreeBSD Makefile to use the ${MAKE} variable
for ZFS dnode2.c module compilation, based on a suggestion
from Alexis Ballier <aballier@gentoo.org>.
Improved the Solaris VxFS library location test, based on a
suggestion from Jason Fortezzo <fortezza@mechanicalism.net>.
Jason tested the change.
Updated Solaris 10 ZFS support for ZFS version 4 and ZFS
pool version 10, using a test system kindly provided by
Vladislav Nespor <vladislav.nespor@id.ethz.ch>. Renata
Maria Dart <renata@slac.stanford.edu> tested on ZFS
version 4, verifying that the update works there, too.
(ZFS pool version 10 is apparently the ZFS version shipped
with the 10/08 update to Solaris. The original ZFS
support targeted ZFS version 3.)
I still consider ZFS support in Solaris lsof a hack,
because it depends on a znode structure definition that
I developed using dbx. Sun is remiss in not distributing
the ZFS header files used to build the distributed kernel.
Because of the znode structure definition hack, I can't
guarantee that lsof ZFS support will work for any other
versions of ZFS.
Solaris 10: adjusted to a change in the way devices are
stored in the kernel; fixed a problem in zone handling;
and added rudimentary sharedfs support. Carson Gaspar
<carson@taltos.org> reported the device number problem,
provided a test system, and tested the changes. Peter
Vines <psv2b@eservices.virginia.edu> reported the zone
handling problem and tested the fix.
Adapted to FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT changes in device number
computation. Problem was reported by Erwin Lansing
<erwin@FreeBSD.org>. Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org>
provided a test system.
Corrected Solaris Configure test for appropriate VxFS
library when using gcc to compile lsof.
Updated for loss of KAME IPv6 FreeBSD accommodations.
Adapted to FreeBSD 7.2. Made Configure script recognized
FreeBSD 6.3.
4.81 October 21, 2008
Updated the Darwin libproc sources with changes from
Allan Nathanson <ajn@apple.com>. Tested them on a iMac
mini, provided by Apple Inc.
Changed dummy declarations in library source files to
eliminate complaints about unused variables and empty
object files. This change may not work on dialects I
can no longer test; it has been tested on some versions
of AIX, Darwin, FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris.
At the request of Hal Brooks <hal@uga.edu> added support
for Linux /proc/net/packet files. Hal tested it.
Added socket file only performance enhancements to Linux
and PSTAT-based HPUX lsof.
Added htonl call around improper usage of INADDR_LOOPBACK;
report from an Apple engineer forwarded by Allan Nathanson
<ajn@apple.com>.
Adjusted for FreeBSD-8.0 change in device number handling.
The adjustment should work for FreeBSD 5 and above, should
the 8.0 change be propagated downward. The problem was
reported by Pav Lucistnik <pav@FreeBSD.org>. An updated
test system was provided by Erwin Lansing <erwin@FreeBSD.org>.
Reduced AIX support to version 5.3, since test systems with
older versions are no longer available to me.
At the request of Marjo F. Mercado <mmercado@xceedium.com>
and Phil Shin <pshin@xceedium.com> applied some speed
improvements to lsof, particularly when the files of
interest are /Internet files -- i.e., selected with lsof's
-i" option. Added a two new options to assist the
improvements: 1) "-c^<command>" to tell lsof to exclude the
named command(s); and 2) "-stcp|ud>:[^]state' to tell lsof
to include in its reporting or exclude ('^') from its
reporting Internet files in the named states (e.g., LISTEN,
^CLOSE_WAIT, IDLE, etc.) For the most part these changes
apply only to AIX, Darwin, FreeBSD, PSTAT-based HP-UX, Linux
and Solaris, since those are the only places I could test
them. They are controlled by the HASTCPUDPSTATE definition
in each dialect's machine.h header file. Marjo and Phil
provided HP-UX 11.23 and 11.31 test systems.
Fixed a stat(2) problem on HP-UX 11.31 while testing the
speed improvements.
Adjusted for kernel header file changes in FreeBSD
8.0-CURRENT. Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org> provided
a test system.
Added a warning for Solaris systems where VxFS node info
can't be obtained from the VxFS utility library. The
warning was requested by Tom Matthews <Tom.MATTHEWS@rbs.com>.
Corrected mishandling of file system path name arguments
that have trailing slashes, except, of course, the root
file system, "/". Allan Nathanson <ajn@apple.com> reported
the bug.
4.80 May 12, 2008
Updated for a FreeBSD 7.0 and above byte level locking
change. The problem was reported by Conrad J. Sabatier
<conrads@cox.net>, who helped test the update. Wesley
Shields <wxs@FreeBSD.org> provided an 8.0-CURRENT test
system.
Propagated the FreeBSD 7.0 and above locking changes to
FreeBSD 6.x, based on a report from Edwin Groothuis
<edwin@FreeBSD.org>.
Added warnings for unsupported dialects or versions.
Added Linux support for the UDPLITE protocol. Eric
Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> supplied a patch.
Added a missing quote to the Configure script's
FreeBSD stanza.
Added a usage.o rule to the HP-UX PSTAT-based
Makefile. I mistakenly deleted the rule at revision
4.79. The missing rule was reported by Kawaljeet Kaur
<kawaljeet.malviya@gmail.com> who tested the corrected
Makefile.
4.79 April 15, 2008
**************** IMPORTANT NOTE ******************
* *
* Lsof support has been reduced to the following *
* dialects: AIX, FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris, and *
* only in selected versions of those dialects. *
* The selected versions are listed in this file *
* and in other lsof documentation. *
* *
* I have made this move because of retirement *
* and because I no longer have many test systems *
* available to me. *

**************************************************
Fixed a Solaris VXFS permission problem when accessing
the VXFS inode offsets. The bug was reported by
Gregory A. Ivanov <ivga@mts.ru>. Gregory tested the
fix.
Moved an #include <string.h> later in FreeBSD dlsof.h
to enable compilation on recent FreeBSD releases. The
change was supplied by Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>.
Improved Linux /proc file stream reading speed by applying
an expanded version of a patch from Eric Dumazet
<dada1@cosmosbay.com> that allocates a page size buffer
to each stream. Improved TCP, TCP6, UDP and UDP6 hashing
by determining the hash bucket count from the /proc/net
sockstat and sockstat6 files. The improvement was
suggested by Eric and he provided sample code. Eric also
tested both improvements.
Modified Configure script to build lsof on FreeBSD
6.2. Tested it on a system provided by Larry Rosenman
<ler@lerctr.org>.
Fixed a Linux maps file processing bug that prevented path
names from having an embedded colon. James Lingard
<jchl@arastra.com> reported the bug and helped with its
fix.
Based on reports from Eric Dumazet and Samuel Thibault
<samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> added support for the
Linux 2.6.22 kernel's /proc/<PID>/fdinfo files -- i.e.,
file offset and flags. Samuel Thibault provided a test
system.
Fixed a Linux UNIX socket memory leak, reported by
Philip Shin <pshin@xceedium.com>. Phillip supplied the
fix.
With generous assistance from HP added support for an HP-UX
11.23 patch that makes TLI/XTI socket address information
available.
Fixed a header file problem for FreeBSD 6.2 on the Alpha
architecture. The problem was reported by Pekka Honkanen
<phonkane@cc.hut.fi>. Pekka tested the fix.
Based on a report and using suggested fixes from Karel Zak
<kzak@redhat.com>, made these changes to Linux lsof: corrected
a getpidcon() error message; insured that inode numbers are
handled correctly for their unsigned long long type; and
improved SELinux handling. At the request of Alon Bar-Lev
<alonbl@gentoo.org> added the LINUX_HASSELINUX environment
variable to enable or inhibit SElinux support unconditionally.
Updated Configure for FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT and tested lsof on
AMD64 there.
Added a patch provided by Oles Hnatkevych
<don_oles@able.com.ua> for FreeBSD systems where the root
file system is on a CD9660 device.
Added compensation for the disappearance of FMARK and FDEFER
from the FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT <sys/file.h>.
Updated FreeBSD lsof with ZFS support. Larry Rosenman
<ler@lerctr.org>, Erwin Lansing <erwin@FreeBSD.org>, Wesley
Shields <wxs@atarininja.org> and Dmitry Morozovsky
<marck@rinet.ru> provided test systems.
Fixed a socket file identification problem reported by
Pavol Rusnak <stick@gk2.sk>. Pavol also reported the
cause of the problem.
Added the ability to format the repeat mode marker line
with strftime(3), where the dialect supports the
localtime(3) and strftime(3) C library functions. The
addition was suggested by Mike Depot <mdepot@comcast.net>,
who also tested it. The addition required creating a new
main lsof source module, util.c, that contains functions
whose compilation conflicts with the general header file
tree defined by lsof.h and dlsof.h.
Based on reports from Andrei V. Lavreniyuk
<andy.lavr@reactor-xg.kiev.ua> and Pav Lucistnik
<pav@FreeBSD.org> updated the FreeBSD 7.0 and above
file lock handling to use new locking structures. The
update requires a terrible hack to get a definition for
the lock owner structure from a kernel source module
into a local lsof header file.
using pkg options lsof-more-secure and lsof-less-secure-sockets.
Also change the way the option are applied, the same way that the Customize
script does and it works on all supported dialects.
* Prefer /dev/ksyms, then getbootfile(), then fall back to /netbsd as the
kernel name.
* Recognise NetBSD versions 5.0* and 5.99*
* When the NetBSD version is unrecognised, don't treat it like 1.6;
treat it like either 1.2 (if it's really old) or 5.0 (if it's too new).
Bump PKGREVISION to 4
Christos (patch-ae and patch-af). Fix PR 36680
- Define NETBSD_SYS in the pkgsrc Makefile so it works if NETBSDSRCDIR is
not pointing to a default location and thus some featues, like ptyfs
support were disabled
- Update the line numbers in patch-aa
- Add tmpfs support (patch-ad, patch-af and patch-ag)
- Update the NetBSD versions in Configure otherwise NETBSDV would fall
back to 1006000 and so at least one feature was not found, the PFSfd
procfs support (patch-ag)
- Bump pkg revision for new features (normaly I wouldn't have bumped the
version if it were only to fix a -current compile, because the version
also includes the kernel version)
Include official patch to fix build on Solaris 10 06/06 or newer.
Fix HOMEPAGE.
The April 10, 2006 revision (4.77): adds Solaris 10 and above -X option
selection of the display of unlinked file cached paths; improved
reporting of Solaris 10 cached path names of questionable accuracy;
has FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT update; fixes name addition spacing bug; has
limited SAMFS support for Solaris 10; fixes an HP-UX 11 file "chunk"
size problem; updates for FreeBSD 6.0; updates scripts/sort_res.perl5;
corrects +|-M man page error; improves FreeBSD user device random seed
generation; documents in 00FAQ bundled C and gcc compilation failures
on HP-UX 11.23 dated May 2005 or later; corrects bugs and eliminates
compiler warnings in PSTAT-based HP-UX lsof and in the lsof test
suite; changed the method of reporting unknown file types; dropped
the *claim* that lsof works on BSDI BSD/OS; enables compilation on
Solaris 10 1/06; adjusts to FreeBSD 5.5-PRELELEASE and 6.1-PRERELEASE;
fixes locating AIX ATI sockets by their associated TCP/IP addresses;
adjusts to OpenBSD 3.[89]; ends 32 bit Solaris 8 testing (testing on
64 bit Solaris 8 continues.)
INSTALLATION_DIRS, as well as all occurrences of ${PREFIX}/man with
${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
a patch to lsof that the author would be interested in taking back as
it only addresses the use of pkgsrc on Darwin:
Do not ask the user about the path to the darwin XNU kernel header
files in the case they are not found -- report an error instead
(since going interactive breaks bulk building...)
We are in a "freeze" at the moment, but this ought to fix the build of
a leaf package under Darwin.
accumulated patches. Changes related to or affecting NetBSD (or
pkgsrc) from the 00DIST file:
4.75 May 16, 2005
...
Improved the BSDI, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris
kvm_open() and kvm_openfiles() error messages.
Enabled support for NetBSD 2.99.12.
Also, add the "uname -r" value to the lsof package version. This
means that lintpkgsrc will report the lsof package as being out of
date if you update your kernel without updating lsof. It's entirely
likely that lsof will continue to work, but it might not (and it will
warn you anyway), but it's nice to know that it might be good to
rebuild it.
