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.
