I installed the attached patch to Gnulib in preparation for the upcoming
glibc fix. The patch causes fchmodat with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW to work on
non-symlinks, and similarly for lchmod on non-symlinks. The idea is to
avoid this sort of problem in the future, and to let Coreutils etc. work
on older platforms as if glibc 2.32 (or whatever) is already in place.

Subject: [PATCH] fchmodat: AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW fix for non-symlinks
Fix lchmod, and fchmodat with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, so that
they act like chmod on non-symlinks.
* NEWS:
* doc/glibc-functions/lchmod.texi (lchmod):
* doc/posix-functions/fchmodat.texi (fchmodat):
Mention this.
* lib/fchmodat.c: Define __need_system_sys_stat_h before including
config.h, and undef it after including sys/stat.h the first time.
Include fcntl.h, stdio.h, unistd.h, intprops.h, and include
sys/stat.h a second time after defining orig_fchmodat.
(orig_fchmodat) [HAVE_FCHMODAT]: New function.
(fchmodat) [HAVE_FCHMODAT]: Work around the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW bug.
* lib/lchmod.c: New file.
* lib/sys_stat.in.h (fchmodat, lchmod):
Support replacing these functions.
* m4/fchmodat.m4 (gl_FUNC_FCHMODAT): If fchmodat exists,
test that AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW works on non-symlinks.
* m4/lchmod.m4 (gl_FUNC_LCHMOD): Check for lstat.
Test that lchmod works on non-symlinks.
* m4/sys_stat_h.m4 (gl_SYS_STAT_H_DEFAULTS):
Default REPLACE_FCHMODAT and REPLACE_LCHMOD to 0.
* modules/fchmodat (Depends-on): Add fstatat, intprops, lchmod, unistd.
(Depends-on, configure.ac): Check REPLACE_FCHMODAT too.
* modules/lchmod (Files): Add lib/lchmod.c.
(Depends-on): Add errno, fcntl-h, fchmodat, intprops, lstat, unistd.
(configure.ac): Compile lchmod.c if needed.
(lib_SOURCES): Add lchmod.c.
* modules/sys_stat (sys/stat.h): Substitute REPLACE_FCHMODAT
and REPLACE_LCHMOD.
* tests/test-fchmodat.c: Include fcntl.h, sys/stat.h.
(main): Test fchmodat with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW on non-symlinks.

Hi Paul,

Some improvements:
1) Improve the cross-compilation guesses. The result of the
"fchmodat+AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW works on non-symlinks" test is:
- yes on kFreeBSD/glibc, Hurd/glibc, FreeBSD 12, AIX 7.2, Solaris 11, Haiku,
- no on Linux/glibc, Cygwin 2.9.
2) On Cygwin, the functions fchmodat and lchown crash. The cause is an endless
recursion, because some of the #includes in fchmodat.c includes the full
<sys/stat.h>, including the '#define fchmodat rpl_fchmodat'.
3) Strengthen the unit test, and make sure that it does not write files that
other unit tests could possibly write as well.
This test is a bit tricky, because on native Windows, we cannot do arbitrary
chmods:
- chmod of 700 is equivalent to 600 (since it does not have an execute bit
on the file system),
- chmod of 600 sets the mode to 666 - since there is no distinction between
users, group, and world with this API.
- After a chmod of 400 (= read-only), unlink() fails.

Hi Paul,
> similarly for lchmod on non-symlinks.
When I see a new autoconf test that activates an override, in order to
guarantee a certain documented behaviour, I like to add a unit test -
because in the past we several times had an override that would not
have passed the autoconf test either.
So I added a unit test for 'lchown', and found that on HP-UX 11.31 the function
could not be used because it is not declared. Which leads to these patches:

The lchmod implementation based on /proc tickles an XFS bug:

Uhg, why does Linux even let the fs driver see whether the chmod is
being performed via a filename, O_PATH fd, or magic symlink in /proc?
It should just be an operation on the inode.

OK, I don't think it's actually clear from the test that the use of
the magic symlink is the cause. It's plausible that XFS just always
returns failure on success for this operation, and I don't have XFS to
test with.
Note that in any case, musl's lchmod/fchmodat is not affected since it
always refuses to change symlink modes; I did this because I was
worried that chmod on the magic symlink in /proc might pass through
not just to the symlink it refers to, but to the symlink target if one
exists. With current kernel versions it seems that does not happen; is
it safe to assume it doesn't?
Further, I've found some inconsistent behavior with ext4: chmod on the
magic symlink fails with EOPNOTSUPP as in Florian's test, but fchmod
on the O_PATH fd succeeds and changes the symlink mode. This is with
5.4. Cany anyone else confirm this? Is it a problem?

I saw it happen with sshfs over FUSE. 8-/
Yet another reason to put in a check before performing the chmod.

Interesting. Let me update the other thread.

A similar improvement can be done for lchmod. The result of the
"lchmod works on non-symlinks" test is:
- on Linux/glibc it is not executed, because lchmod() does not exist;
but if it would, it would surely report "no",
- "yes" on Linux with musl libc, GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/Hurd, Mac OS X 10.5,
FreeBSD 12.0, NetBSD 8.0, HP-UX 11.31,
- "no" on no platform I know of (probably older musl libc versions).
