The Solaris xls() function listed every entry in the file's xattr
directory, which on Solaris includes OS-managed SUNWattr_ro and
SUNWattr_rw pseudo-attributes. SUNWattr_rw embeds the file creation
time, so its bytes naturally differ between the source and destination
files, making the xattrs and xattrs-hlink tests fail with diffs that
have nothing to do with rsync.
Rsync's own listxattr wrapper already filters these out
(lib/sysxattrs.c), so the right fix is to filter them in the test
display too. Other platforms are unaffected because each has its own
xls() branch in the case statement.
With the test now actually passing on Solaris, drop the CI hack that
overwrote testsuite/xattrs.test with a skip stub.

Mirror the existing FreeBSD workflow for OpenBSD and NetBSD using
vmactions/openbsd-vm and vmactions/netbsd-vm so we get cross-BSD
coverage on push, PR, and the nightly schedule.
Also extend the FreeBSD and Solaris workflows to actually exercise the
test suite by running 'make check' after the build. The Linux, macOS,
and Cygwin jobs already did this.
The Solaris xattrs and xattrs-hlink tests are removed before 'make
check' because the Solaris SUNWattr_ro / SUNWattr_rw system attributes
leak into the test diff; that's a real rsync-on-Solaris issue to follow
up on, but skip the tests for now so the suite goes green.

When invoked directly (rather than via 'make check'), runtests.py
previously left the user with a wall of confusing "not found" errors
from inside individual test scripts if the CHECK_PROGS helpers had not
been built. Detect this up front and point the user at the make
target that builds them.

localtime/localtime_r need /etc/localtime for timezone info.
After chroot this file is inaccessible, causing log timestamps
to fall back to UTC. Calling tzset() before chroot ensures the
timezone data is cached by glibc for subsequent calls.

The sorted() call reordered skipped test names alphabetically,
causing CI expected-skipped mismatches (e.g. acls,acls-default
instead of acls-default,acls). Sort by original test order instead.

Add parallel test execution using concurrent.futures. With -j8 the
test suite completes in ~4s vs ~29s sequential (~7x speedup).
Also fix two issues that caused failures under parallel execution:
- rsync_ls_lR now prunes testtmp/ so parallel tests don't see each
other's temp files when scanning the source tree
- clean-fname-underflow.test now uses $scratchdir instead of /tmp

Rewrite the test runner in Python with proper command-line options
including --valgrind which directs valgrind output to per-process
log files so it doesn't interfere with test output comparisons.

Glibc 2.43 added C23 const-preserving overloads to various string functions,
which change the return type depending on the constness of the argument(s).
Currently this leads to warnings from calls to strtok() or strchr().
Fix this by properly declaring the respective variable types.

Change my_alloc() to use calloc instead of malloc so all fresh
allocations return zeroed memory. Also zero the expanded portion
in expand_item_list() after realloc, since it knows both old and
new sizes. This gives more predictable behaviour in case of bugs
where uninitialised or stale memory is accidentally accessed.

this fixes the count passed to the sort of the xattr list. This issue
was reported here:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/04/16/2
the bug is not exploitable due to the fork-per-connection design of
rsync, the attack is the equivalent of the user closing the socket
themselves.
The len field in the proxy v2 header was declared as signed char,
allowing a negative size to bypass the validation check and cause
a stack buffer overflow when passed to read_buf() as size_t.
This bug was reported by John Walker from ZeroPath, many thanks for
the clear report!
With the current code this bug does not represent a security issue as
it only results in the exit of the forked process that is specific to
the attached client, so it is equivalent to the client closing the
socket, so no CVE for this, but it is good to fix it to prevent a
future issue.
The bundled zlib 1.2.8 used K&R-style function definitions which are
rejected by clang 16+ as hard errors. Convert all 90 functions across
9 files to ANSI-style prototypes.

The new simd-checksum test is skipped on platforms where SIMD
instructions are unavailable (macOS ARM, Cygwin). Add it to the

The AVX2 get_checksum1_avx2_64() read mul_one before initializing it,
which is undefined behavior. Replace the cmpeq/abs trick with
_mm256_set1_epi8(1) to match the SSSE3 and SSE2 versions.
Add a TEST_SIMD_CHECKSUM1 test mode that verifies all SIMD paths
(SSE2, SSSE3, AVX2, and the full dispatch chain) produce identical
results to the C reference, across multiple buffer sizes with both
aligned and unaligned buffers.

Validate that token numbers read from compressed streams are
non-negative. A negative token value would cause the return value
of recv_*_token() to become positive, which callers interpret as
literal data length, but no data pointer is set on this code path.
While this only causes the receiver to crash (which is process-isolated
and only affects the attacker's own connection), it's still undefined
behavior.

The static buf1 pointer was only allocated when len > len1, but on
first call with len == 0, this condition is false (0 > 0), leaving
buf1 NULL when passed to memcpy().
Fixes#673
this was found by Calum Hutton from Rapid7. It is a real bug, but
analysis shows it can't be leverged into an exploit. Worth fixing
though.
Many thanks to Calum and Rapid7 for finding and reporting this
If poptGetContext returns NULL, perhaps due to OOM,
a NULL pointer is passed into poptReadDefaultConfig()
which in turns SEGVs when trying to dereference it.

Int32x32To64 macro internally truncates the arguments to int32,
while time_t is 64-bit on most/all modern platforms.
Therefore, usage of this macro creates a Year 2038 bug.
This can happen when the tests are unable to `stat(2)` some files in
`/etc`, `/bin`, or `/`, due to Unix permissions or other sandboxing. We
still guard against serious errors, which use exit code 2.
In 2015, the attr/xattr.h header was fully removed from upstream attr.
In 2020, rsync started preferring the standard header, if it exists:
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/22
But the fix was incomplete. We still looked for the getxattr function in
-lattr, and used it if -lattr exists. This was the case even if the
system libc was sufficient to provide the needed functions. Result:
overlinking to -lattr, if it happened to be installed for any other
reason.
```
checking whether to support extended attributes... Using Linux xattrs
checking for getxattr in -lattr... yes
```
Instead, use a different autoconf macro that first checks if the
function is available for use without any libraries (e.g. it is in
libc).
Result:
```
checking whether to support extended attributes... Using Linux xattrs
checking for library containing getxattr... none required
```

The test was added in dc34990, it turns out that it's flaky. It failed
once on the Debian build infra, cf. [1].
The problem is that the command `rsync -aH '$fromdir/sym' '$todir'`
updates the mod time of `$todir`, so there might be a diff between the
output of `rsync_ls_lR $fromdir` and `rsync_ls_lR $todir`, if ever rsync
runs 1 second (or more) after the directories were created.
To clarify: it's easy to make the test fails 100% of the times with this
change:
```
makepath "$fromdir/sym" "$todir"
+sleep 5
checkit "$RSYNC -aH '$fromdir/sym' '$todir'" "$fromdir" "$todir"
```
With the fix proposed here, we don't use `checkit` anymore, instead we
just run the rsync command, then a simple `diff` to compare the two
directories. This is exactly what the other `-H` test just above does.
In case there's some doubts, `diff` fails if `sym` is missing:
```
$ mkdir -p foo/sym bar
$ diff foo bar || echo KO!
Only in foo: sym
KO!
```
I tested that, after this commit, the test still catches the `-H`
regression in rsync 3.4.0.

atime of source files could sometimes be overwritten
even though --open-noatime option was used.
To fix that, optional O_NOATIME flag was added
to do_open_nofollow which is also used to open regular
files since fix:
"fixed symlink race condition in sender"
Previously optional O_NOATIME flag was only in do_open.
From https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1093201:
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
rsync could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the date in the manual page can vary depending on
whether there is a .git directory and the modification time of version.h
and Mafile, which might get modified when patching via quilt.
A patch is attached that makes this use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, which
will always be reliable.
