Fix the flags for stat (again) (#601)

2026-06-22T10:36:43+00:00

* Revert "find: reset stat(2) flags before terminating" This reverts commit 228ee18fbe8cf408440e7bbe91db4ef201312983. * test: fix flags for stat with NOFORK test is a NOFORK applet, so the flags under mingw_stat may not have been reset before calling it. We have it so it also restores the flags after, since it could be called in the middle of another applet. This also needed a way to retrieve the flags, so they are just done through the return value. * Add comments about not having to restore flags Just for future reference * lineedit: use new flag restoring * win32: simplify mingw_access calling Since we now have a way to get the previous flags, mingw_access can be changed to ignore any stat flags * stat: comments from PR Adds 32 bytes.

find: reset stat(2) flags before terminating

Commit a717c6844 (find: skip check for execute when not needed) didn't reset stat(2) to its default behaviour (at my insistence). This was incorrect. The '-exec cmd {} +' action calls a nofork 'cmd' directly without spawning a new process. If 'cmd' calls 'stat(2)' it won't be in its default state which can affect the result. Reintroduce the code to reset 'stat(2)'. Adds 16 bytes. (GitHub PR #600) Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

See previous commits: 1fb1a65064748a54fba4bf4b5e8700f8e61f003f 6a7ccb6ca3bd9b661760879478ecf0d5f6112fc3 My testing shows a speedup of around 30%, but that will vary with whether files are cached. Test inside busybox repository with files cached: Command | before | after find >/dev/null | 0.83s | 0.56s find -executable >/dev/null | 1.56s | 1.35s

find: -samefile requires FEATURE_EXTRA_FILE_DATA

Without FEATURE_EXTRA_FILE_DATA we don't have inode numbers to match so -samefile won't work.
