a2753de contains some regressions, causing `fixupobj` to be
inappropriately suppressed when `-MD` or `-MMD` is passed.
This commit reverts most changes by a2753de, and:
- Treats all invocations of the compiler with `-M` and `-MM` as with the
`cpp` intent, since these flags imply `-E`.
- Handle the dependency output path specified by `-MF`.
+ This is trivial for `cosmocross` since the script does not throw
objects to and from temporary directories.
+ For `cosmocc`, the file names are calculated based on the `-MF`
value provided by the user. If this flag is not specified, the script
generates the file name based on the output file using GCC rules.
Then, before calling the real compilers, an additional `-MF` flag is
passed to override the dependency outputs with mangled file names.
If you install qemu-user from apt then glibc links a lot of address
space bloat that causes pthread_create() to ENOMEM (a.k.a. EAGAIN).
Boosting the virtual memory quota from 512m to 2048m will hopefully
future proof the build for the future, as Linux distros get fatter.
Please note this only applies to MODE=aarch64 on x86_64 builds when
you're using QEMU from Debian/Ubuntu rather than installing the one
cosmo provides in third_party/qemu/qemu-aarch64.gz. This change may
also be useful to people who are using the host compiler toolchain.
Some compiler flags (such as -E or -MM) instruct GCC to only run the
preprocessor and produce certain text files.
In this case, we do not want to run `fixupobj` and make the tool fail
because the input is not an ELF64 binary.
Renaming gc() to _gc() was a mistake since the better thing to do is put
it behind the _COSMO_SOURCE macro. We need this change because I haven't
wanted to use my amazing garbage collector ever since we renamed it. You
now need to define _COSMO_SOURCE yourself when using amalgamation header
and cosmocc users need to pass the -mcosmo flag to get the gc() function
Some other issues relating to cancelation have been fixed along the way.
We're also now putting cosmocc in a folder named `.cosmocc` so it can be
more safely excluded by grep --exclude-dir=.cosmocc --exclude-dir=o etc.
With `libunwind` and `libcxxabi` included in `libcosmo`, we can now
allow users to build C++ applications with exceptions and RTTI enabled.
The default is still disabling these two to avoid bloating the binary.
Closes#1065
Now that cosmocc is unpacked into a version-specific directory under
cosmocc/, it makes more sense to put the versions in /opt/cosmocc and
maintain a symlink to the currently active one.
The toolchain will now be downloaded going forward from multiple pinned
URLs which have shasums. Either wget or curl must be installed.
This change unblocks #1053
Our dynamic linking implementation is now able to support functions with
dozens of parameters. In addition to having extra integral arguments you
can now pass vector registers using intrinsic types. Lastly, you can now
return multiple values, which is useful for functions returning structs.
It's now possible to pass flags like -Xaarch64-march=armv8.2-a+dotprod
so that cosmocc will use newer ARM ISAs. For AMD64 there's another one
worth mentioning, which looks like this: -Xx86_64-mssse3
This increases risk of fork bomb but is needed to support the NixOS.
Upstream dependencies of APE (uname, mkdir, dd, chmod, gzip, and mv)
will be removed from releases, and deleted from the cosmo.zip server
See #12
- Check `$COSMOCC`, defaulting to `/opt/cosmocc`.
- Try to get the full path of the repo `make.com`. I'm not aware of
a way of getting the path that defines a zsh function, so the best
fallback available is `$PWD`.
Now that our socket system call polyfills are good enough to support
Musl's DNS library we should be using that rather than the barebones
domain name system implementation we rolled on our own. There's many
benefits to making this change. So many, that I myself wouldn't feel
qualified to enumerate them all. The Musl DNS code had to be changed
in order to support Windows of course, which looks very solid so far
This commit and, by extension, PR attempts to update `stb` in the most
straightforward way possible as well as include fixes from main repo's
unmerged PRs for cases rearing their ugly heads during everyday usage:

Includes additional small fixes that I felt didn't warrant a separate PR.
`o/$mode/*` is passed through as-is. `o/*` other than `$mode` has
`$mode` inserted. `*` has `o/$mode/` prepended.
Really leveraging zsh default tab completion here; if you have built
things with `MODE=` you can leverage that for perfect tab completion
in other modes.
Somehow or another, I previously had missed `BUILD.mk` files.
In the process I found a few straggler cases where the modeline was
different from the file, including one very involved manual fix where a
file had been treated like it was ts=2 and ts=8 on separate occasions.
The commit history in the PR shows the gory details; the BUILD.mk was
automated, everything else was mostly manual.
Using this shell script:
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p exe
for f in $(findpe); do
if [ -e exe/${f##*/}.exe ]; then
cp $f exe/${f##*/}-$(rand64).exe
else
cp $f exe/${f##*/}.exe
fi
done
rm -f /mnt/videos/microsoft.zip
zip -rj6 /mnt/videos/microsoft.zip exe
echo /mnt/videos/microsoft.zip
Helps file reports with Microsoft about incorrect AV detections.
See #1003
At least in neovim, `│vi:` is not recognized as a modeline because it
has no preceding whitespace. After fixing this, opening a file yields
an error because `net` is not an option. (`noet`, however, is.)
On aarch64 hosts, MODE= is changed to MODE=aarch64, so o// targets don't
work. So On aarch64, get apelink.com out of o/aarch64/. Also prepend ape
when calling it. And finally, fetch with curl when wget isn't installed.
I'm no longer able to reproduce the PE import table corruption that was
previously observed. Since this optimization shaves up to 64kb off each
fat APE binary we build, it's worth turning this back on again, to wait
and see if something breaks, and if so, fix it. At least until the next
release is shipped.
See #965
This change upgrades to superconfigure z0.0.23 which fixes an issue
where the compiler had harmless /home/... paths baked-in, which are
normally only present in the build environment, and usually skipped
over. Sadly on MacOS calling fstatat() on these paths would lead to
cloud file system ops that caused system calls to take a long time.
That's problematic, since cosmocc needs to be a 100% local command.
- Use good ELF technique in cosmo_dlopen()
- Make strerror() conform more to other libc impls
- Introduce __clear_cache() and use it in cosmo_dlopen()
- Remove libc/fmt/fmt.h header (trying to kill off LIBC_FMT)
It turns out my earlier commit ddc08dc974 caused a build with
MODE=aarch64 to fail. The commit changed deathstar.c to link
in code to support a VGA console, but this is not implemented
yet for AArch64. Thanks to @ahgamut for spotting this issue.
Imported functions are now aspected with a trampoline that blocks
signals and changes the thread-local storage register. This means
bigger more complicated libraries can now be imported even though
the whole technique remains fundamentally unsafe.
We now have an `#include <cxxabi.h>` header which defines all the APIs
Cosmopolitan's implemented so far. The `cosmocc` README.md file is now
greatly expanded with documentation.
The `cosmocc` compiler is now being distributed as a self-contained
toolchain that's path-agnostic and it no longer requires you clone the
Cosmop repo to use it. The bin/ folder has been deleted from the mono
repo. The `fatcosmocc` command has been renamed to `cosmocc`. MacOS
support now works very well.
Our makefile generator now accepts badly formatted include lines. It's
now more hermetic with better error checking in the cosmo repo, and it
can be configured to not be hermetic at all.
This change addresses a $PATH resolution issue where APE depends on
uname and uname is an APE program. So sorry to anyone this impacted
we'll get a release out soon.
wait4() is now solid enough to run `make -j100` on Windows. You can now
use MSG_DONTWAIT on Windows. There was a handle leak in accept() that's
been fixed. Our WIN32 overlapped i/o code has been simplified. Priority
class now inherits into subprocesses, so the verynice command will work
and the signal mask will now be inherited by execve() and posix_spawn()
This function was invented by the BSDs (it's not in POSIX.1). It
provides a high-level interface into ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) which is
comparatively clumsy to use. We already made the ioctls portable
across our entire support vector back in 2021, so this interface
is portable too. See o//tool/viz/getifaddrs.com for our demo app
This change gets the pledge (formerly pledge.com) command back in tip
top shape for a 3.0.1 cosmos release. It now runs on all platforms, even
though it's mostly a no-op on ones that lack the kernel security stuff.
The binary footprint is now smaller, since it no longer needs to link
malloc. It's also now able to be built as a fat binary.
- You can now run `make -j8 toolchain` on Windows
- You can now run `make -j` on MacOS ARM64 and BSD OSes
- You can now use our Emacs dev environment on MacOS/Windows
- Fix bug where the x16 register was being corrupted by --ftrace
- The programs under build/bootstrap/ are updated as fat binaries
- The Makefile now explains how to download cosmocc-0.0.12 toolchain
- The build scripts under bin/ now support "cosmo" branded toolchains
- stat() now goes faster on Windows (shaves 100ms off `make` latency)
- Code cleanup and added review on the Windows signal checking code
- posix_spawnattr_setrlimit() now works around MacOS ARM64 bugs
- Landlock Make now favors posix_spawn() on non-Linux/OpenBSD
- posix_spawn() now has better --strace logging on Windows
- fstatat() can now avoid EACCES in more cases on Windows
- fchmod() can now change the readonly bit on Windows
GNU Make on Windows now appears to be working reliably. This change also
fixes a bug where, after fork the Windows thread handle wasn't reset and
that caused undefined behavior using SetThreadContext() with our signals
This change gets GNU grep working. What caused it to not work, is it
wouldn't write to an output file descriptor when its dev/ino equaled
/dev/null's. So now we invent special dev/ino values for these files
This change deletes mkfifo() so that GNU Make on Windows will work in
parallel mode using its pipe-based implementation. There's an example
called greenbean2 now, which shows how to build a scalable web server
for Windows with 10k+ threads. The accuracy of clock_nanosleep is now
significantly improved on Linux.
- We now serialize the file descriptor table when spawning / executing
processes on Windows. This means you can now inherit more stuff than
just standard i/o. It's needed by bash, which duplicates the console
to file descriptor #255. We also now do a better job serializing the
environment variables, so you're less likely to encounter E2BIG when
using your bash shell. We also no longer coerce environ to uppercase
- execve() on Windows now remotely controls its parent process to make
them spawn a replacement for itself. Then it'll be able to terminate
immediately once the spawn succeeds, without having to linger around
for the lifetime as a shell process for proxying the exit code. When
process worker thread running in the parent sees the child die, it's
given a handle to the new child, to replace it in the process table.
- execve() and posix_spawn() on Windows will now provide CreateProcess
an explicit handle list. This allows us to remove handle locks which
enables better fork/spawn concurrency, with seriously correct thread
safety. Other codebases like Go use the same technique. On the other
hand fork() still favors the conventional WIN32 inheritence approach
which can be a little bit messy, but is *controlled* by guaranteeing
perfectly clean slates at both the spawning and execution boundaries
- sigset_t is now 64 bits. Having it be 128 bits was a mistake because
there's no reason to use that and it's only supported by FreeBSD. By
using the system word size, signal mask manipulation on Windows goes
very fast. Furthermore @asyncsignalsafe funcs have been rewritten on
Windows to take advantage of signal masking, now that it's much more
pleasant to use.
- All the overlapped i/o code on Windows has been rewritten for pretty
good signal and cancelation safety. We're now able to ensure overlap
data structures are cleaned up so long as you don't longjmp() out of
out of a signal handler that interrupted an i/o operation. Latencies
are also improved thanks to the removal of lots of "busy wait" code.
Waits should be optimal for everything except poll(), which shall be
the last and final demon we slay in the win32 i/o horror show.
- getrusage() on Windows is now able to report RUSAGE_CHILDREN as well
as RUSAGE_SELF, thanks to aggregation in the process manager thread.
It's now possible to use sigaltstack() to recover from stack overflows
on Windows. Several bugs in sigaltstack() have been fixed, for all our
supported platforms. There's a newer better example showing how to use
this, along with three independent unit tests just to further showcase
the various techniques.
The `cat` command now works properly, when run by itself on the bash
command prompt. It's working beautifully so far, and is only missing
a few keystrokes for clearing words and lines. Definitely works more
well than the one that ships with WIN32 :-)
- This change fixes a bug that allowed unbuffered printf() output (to
streams like stderr) to be truncated. This regression was introduced
some time between now and the last release.
- POSIX specifies all functions as thread safe by default. This change
works towards cleaning up our use of the @threadsafe / @threadunsafe
documentation annotations to reflect that. The goal is (1) to use
@threadunsafe to document functions which POSIX say needn't be thread
safe, and (2) use @threadsafe to document functions that we chose to
implement as thread safe even though POSIX didn't mandate it.
- Tidy up the clock_gettime() implementation. We're now trying out a
cleaner approach to system call support that aims to maintain the
Linux errno convention as long as possible. This also fixes bugs that
existed previously, where the vDSO errno wasn't being translated
properly. The gettimeofday() system call is now a wrapper for
clock_gettime(), which reduces bloat in apps that use both.
- The recently-introduced improvements to the execute bit on Windows has
had bugs fixed. access(X_OK) on a directory on Windows now succeeds.
fstat() will now perform the MZ/#! ReadFile() operation correctly.
- Windows.h is no longer included in libc/isystem/, because it confused
PCRE's build system into thinking Cosmopolitan is a WIN32 platform.
Cosmo's Windows.h polyfill was never even really that good, since it
only defines a subset of the subset of WIN32 APIs that Cosmo defines.
- The setlongerjmp() / longerjmp() APIs are removed. While they're nice
APIs that are superior to the standardized setjmp / longjmp functions,
they weren't superior enough to not be dead code in the monorepo. If
you use these APIs, please file an issue and they'll be restored.
- The .com appending magic has now been removed from APE Loader.
- Improved async signal safety of read() particularly for longjmp()
- Started adding cancel cleanup handlers for locks / etc on Windows
- Make /dev/tty work better particularly for uses like `foo | less`
- Eagerly read console input into a linked list, so poll can signal
- Fix some libc definitional bugs, which configure scripts detected
- Every unit test now passes on Apple Silicon. The final piece of this
puzzle was porting our POSIX threads cancelation support, since that
works differently on ARM64 XNU vs. AMD64. Our semaphore support on
Apple Silicon is also superior now compared to AMD64, thanks to the
grand central dispatch library which lets *NSYNC locks go faster.
- The Cosmopolitan runtime is now more stable, particularly on Windows.
To do this, thread local storage is mandatory at all runtime levels,
and the innermost packages of the C library is no longer being built
using ASAN. TLS is being bootstrapped with a 128-byte TIB during the
process startup phase, and then later on the runtime re-allocates it
either statically or dynamically to support code using _Thread_local.
fork() and execve() now do a better job cooperating with threads. We
can now check how much stack memory is left in the process or thread
when functions like kprintf() / execve() etc. call alloca(), so that
ENOMEM can be raised, reduce a buffer size, or just print a warning.
- POSIX signal emulation is now implemented the same way kernels do it
with pthread_kill() and raise(). Any thread can interrupt any other
thread, regardless of what it's doing. If it's blocked on read/write
then the killer thread will cancel its i/o operation so that EINTR can
be returned in the mark thread immediately. If it's doing a tight CPU
bound operation, then that's also interrupted by the signal delivery.
Signal delivery works now by suspending a thread and pushing context
data structures onto its stack, and redirecting its execution to a
trampoline function, which calls SetThreadContext(GetCurrentThread())
when it's done.
- We're now doing a better job managing locks and handles. On NetBSD we
now close semaphore file descriptors in forked children. Semaphores on
Windows can now be canceled immediately, which means mutexes/condition
variables will now go faster. Apple Silicon semaphores can be canceled
too. We're now using Apple's pthread_yield() funciton. Apple _nocancel
syscalls are now used on XNU when appropriate to ensure pthread_cancel
requests aren't lost. The MbedTLS library has been updated to support
POSIX thread cancelations. See tool/build/runitd.c for an example of
how it can be used for production multi-threaded tls servers. Handles
on Windows now leak less often across processes. All i/o operations on
Windows are now overlapped, which means file pointers can no longer be
inherited across dup() and fork() for the time being.
- We now spawn a thread on Windows to deliver SIGCHLD and wakeup wait4()
which means, for example, that posix_spawn() now goes 3x faster. POSIX
spawn is also now more correct. Like Musl, it's now able to report the
failure code of execve() via a pipe although our approach favors using
shared memory to do that on systems that have a true vfork() function.
- We now spawn a thread to deliver SIGALRM to threads when setitimer()
is used. This enables the most precise wakeups the OS makes possible.
- The Cosmopolitan runtime now uses less memory. On NetBSD for example,
it turned out the kernel would actually commit the PT_GNU_STACK size
which caused RSS to be 6mb for every process. Now it's down to ~4kb.
On Apple Silicon, we reduce the mandatory upstream thread size to the
smallest possible size to reduce the memory overhead of Cosmo threads.
The examples directory has a program called greenbean which can spawn
a web server on Linux with 10,000 worker threads and have the memory
usage of the process be ~77mb. The 1024 byte overhead of POSIX-style
thread-local storage is now optional; it won't be allocated until the
pthread_setspecific/getspecific functions are called. On Windows, the
threads that get spawned which are internal to the libc implementation
use reserve rather than commit memory, which shaves a few hundred kb.
- sigaltstack() is now supported on Windows, however it's currently not
able to be used to handle stack overflows, since crash signals are
still generated by WIN32. However the crash handler will still switch
to the alt stack, which is helpful in environments with tiny threads.
- Test binaries are now smaller. Many of the mandatory dependencies of
the test runner have been removed. This ensures many programs can do a
better job only linking the the thing they're testing. This caused the
test binaries for LIBC_FMT for example, to decrease from 200kb to 50kb
- long double is no longer used in the implementation details of libc,
except in the APIs that define it. The old code that used long double
for time (instead of struct timespec) has now been thoroughly removed.
- ShowCrashReports() is now much tinier in MODE=tiny. Instead of doing
backtraces itself, it'll just print a command you can run on the shell
using our new `cosmoaddr2line` program to view the backtrace.
- Crash report signal handling now works in a much better way. Instead
of terminating the process, it now relies on SA_RESETHAND so that the
default SIG_IGN behavior can terminate the process if necessary.
- Our pledge() functionality has now been fully ported to AARCH64 Linux.
This changes *NSYNC to allocate waiters on the stack so our locks don't
need to depend on dynamic memory. This make our runtiem simpler, and it
also fixes bugs with thread cancellation support.
This change fixes bugs in the APE loader. The execve() unit tests are
now enabled for MODE=aarch64. See the README for how you need to have
binfmt_misc configured with Qemu to run them. Apple Silicon bugs have
been fixed too, e.g. tkill() now works.
The stdio reader thread now appears to be working recursively along
cosmopolitan subprocesses. For example, it's now possible to launch
vim.com from the unbourne.com bestline repl, thanks to hacks plus a
bug fix to select() timeouts.
- Polyfill readlink("foo/") dir check on Windows
- Support asynchronous signal delivery on Windows

- Move some constants from normalize.inc to limits.h
- Fix segv with memchr() and memcmp() overlapping page
- Implement POSIX fflush() behavior for reader streams
- Implement AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW for utimensat() on WIN32
- Don't change read-only status of existing files on WIN32
- Correctly handle `0x[^[:xdigit:]]` case in strtol() functions
This change fixes Cosmopolitan so it has fewer opinions about compiler
warnings. The whole repository had to be cleaned up to be buildable in
-Werror -Wall mode. This lets us benefit from things like strict const
checking. Some actual bugs might have been caught too.
- Introduce ualarm() function
- Make rename() report EISEMPTY on Windows
- Always raise EINVAL upon open(O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC)
- Add macro so ./configure will detect SOCK_CLOEXEC

- Introduce KPRINTF_LOG environment variable to log kprintf to a file
This change reduces the memory requirements of your APE Loader by 10x,
in terms of virtual memory size, thanks to the help of alloca(). We're
also now creating argument blocks with the same layout across systems.
- Fix mkdeps.com out of memory error
- Remove static memory from __get_cpu_count()
- Add support for passing hyphen to cat in cocmd
- Change more ZipOS errors from ENOTSUP to EROFS
- Specify mem_unit in sysinfo() output on BSD OSes
readdir() will now always yield an inode that's consistent with stat()
on ZipOS and Windows in general. More APIs have been updated to return
the appropriate error code when inappropriately trying to do ops, like
sockets, with a zip file descriptor. The path normalization algorithms
are now fully fleshed out. Some socket APIs have been fixed so they'll
raise EBADF vs. ENOTSOCK appropriately. Lastly seekdir() will now work
properly on NetBSD and FreeBSD (not sure why anyone would even use it)
This change improves the dirstream library in a lot of respects,
especially for /zip/... files. Also turn off MAP_STACK on Aarch64
because Qemu seems to implement it differently than Linux and it's
probably responsible for a lot of mysterious crashes.
You can now play Super Mario Bros in CMD.EXE using Cosmopolitan! This is
thanks to a new worker thread that's spawned on Windows whenever any one
of poll(), select(), or ioctl(FIONREAD) is linked.
We were using a shell heredoc value '@' to terminate the dos stub, but
that's not sufficiently safe. We found out sh doesn't consider control
characters as contributing to the start of a line, and had the unlucky
chance of the linker choosing the number 2624 for e_lfanew, and that's
"@\n" in ASCII, which compromised the APE shell script.
We now use the heredoc 'justineXXXXXX' with 31 bits of entropy, that's
determistically generated by hashing apelink inputs w/ crc32 / blake2b
make all test CC=fatcosmocc AR='fatcosmoar rcu'
This change introduces a program named mktemper.com which provides more
reliable and secure temporary file name generation for scripts. It also
makes our ar.com program more permissive in what commands it'll accept.
The cosmocc command is improved by this change too.
This way complex runtime features (e.g. ftrace, symbol tables) can
always yoink zipos support. This is important now that apelink.com
automates embedding symbol tables for multiple cpus.
This new script is an alternative to the `cosmocc` command. It's still a
work in progress. It abstracts all the gory details of building separate
copies of your executable and then running the apelink.com program.
If you build a static ELF executable in `ld -q` mode (which leaves rela
sections inside the binary) then you can run it through the elf2pe.com
program afterwards, which will turn it into a PE executable. We have a
new trick for defining WIN32 DLL imports in C without any assembly code.
This also achieves the optimally tiny and perfect PE binary structure.
We need this because it isn't possible to have a GNU ld linker script
generate a PE file where the virtual pointer and the file pointer can
drift apart. This post-linker can do that. One cool benefit is we can
now use a smaller 512-byte alignment in the file, and an even bigger
64kb alignment for the segment virtual addresses, and the executable
ends up being smaller.
Another program introduced by this change is pecheck.com which can do
extensive linting of PE static executables to help explain why Windows
won't load it.
- Blocking read operations on the Windows Console can now EINTR

- Loosen restrictions on mmap() offset alignment
- Improve GetProgramExecutableName() with getenv("_")
- Use mkstemp() as basis for mktemp(), tmpfile(), tmpfd()
- Fix flakes in pthread_cancel_test, unix_test, fork_test
- Fix recently introduced futex stack overflow regression
- Let sockets be passed as stdio to subprocesses on Windows
- Improve security of bind() on Windows w/ SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE
This change addresses everything from stack smashing to %SYSTEMROOT%
breaking socket(). Issues relating to compile.com not reporting text
printed to stderr has been resolved for Windows builds.
This change ports APE Loader to Linux AARCH64, so that Raspberry Pi
users can run programs like redbean, without the executable needing
to modify itself. Progress has also slipped into this change on the
issue of making progress better conforming to user expectations and
industry standards regarding which symbols we're allowed to declare
This change also incorporates more bug fixes and improvements to a wide
variety of small things. For example this fixes#860 so Windows console
doesn't get corrupted after exit. An system stack memory map issue with
aarch64 has been fixed. We no longer use O_NONBLOCK on AF_UNIX sockets.
Crash reports on Arm64 will now demangle C++ symbols, even when c++filt
isn't available. Most importantly the Apple M1 version of APE Loader is
brought up to date by this change. A prebuilt unsigned binary for it is
being included in build/bootstrap/. One more thing: retrieving the term
dimensions under --strace was causing the stack to become corrupted and
now that's been solved too. PSS: We're now including an ELF PT_NOTE for
APE in the binaries we build, that has the APE Loader version.
This version has better error messages and safety checks. It supports
loading static position-independent executables. It correctly handles
more kinds of weird ELF program header layouts. A force flag has been
added to avoid system execve(). Finally the longstanding misalignment
with our ELF PT_NOTE section has been addressed.
lz4toasm should now more easily accept LZ4 files output by
compressor programs that do not support the extracted-size
field, such as Stephan Brumme's smallz4.
This patch also proposes to add a new lz4len() function to
the libc: it parses an LZ4 compressed block to compute the
unpacked content size, without really unpacking the block.

- This commit mints a new release of APE Loader v1.2 which supports
loading ELF programs with a non-contiguous virtual address layout
even though we've never been able to take advantage of it, due to
how `objcopy -SO binary` fills any holes left by PT_LOAD. This'll
change soon, since we'll have a new way of creating APE binaries.
- The undiamonding trick with our ioctl() implementation is removed
since POSIX has been killing ioctl() for years and they've done a
much better job. One problem it resolves, is that ioctl(FIONREAD)
wasn't working earlier and that caused issues when building Emacs
- Fix unused local variable errors
- Remove yoinks from sigaction() header
- Add nox87 and aarch64 to github actions
- Fix cosmocc -fportcosmo in linking mode
- It's now possible to build `make m=llvm o/llvm/libc`
- compile.com now polyfills -march=native which gcc/clang removed
- Guarantee zero Windows code is linked into non-Windows binaries
- MODE=tinylinux binaries are now back to being as tiny as ~4kb
- Improve the runtime's stack allocation / alignment hack
- GitHub Actions now tests Linux modes for assurance
- Fix handling of precision in hex float formatting
- Enhance the cocmd interpreter for system() and popen()
- Manually ran the Lua unit tests, which are now passing
- Let stdio i/o operations happen when file is in error state
- We're now saving and restoring xmm in ftrace out of paranoia
It turned out that Landlock Make hasn't been applying sandboxing for a
while, due to a mistyped if statement for `$(USE_SYSTEM_TOOLCHAIN)` it
should have had the opposite meaning. Regressions in the build configs
have been fixed. The rmrf() function works better now. The rm.com tool
works according to POSIX with the exception of supporting prompts.
This change fixes stderr to be unbuffered. Added hardware AES on ARM64
to help safeguard against timing attacks. The curl.com command will be
somewhat more pleasant to use.
The *NSYNC linked list API is good enough that it deserves to be part of
the C libray, so this change writes an improved version of it which uses
that offsetof() trick from the Linux Kernel. We vendor all of the *NSYNC
tests in third_party which helped confirm the needed refactoring is safe
This change also deletes more old code that didn't pan out. My goal here
is to work towards a vision where the Cosmopolitan core libraries become
less experimental and more focused on curation. This better reflects the
current level of quality we've managed to achieve.
After going through the MODE=dbg and MODE=zero build modes, a bunch of
little issues were identified, which have been addressed. Fixing those
issues created even more troubles for the project, because it improved
our ability to detect latent problems which are getting fixed so fast.
The build/bootstrap/ar.com program is now tinier. This change reduces
its size from 140kb to 53kb. Nothing was traded away. Cosmopolitan Ar
performance is now 2x better than llvm-ar largely thanks to using the
copy_file_range() system call. This change homebrews a new allocation
API that addresses the shortcomings of the C standard library design.
Using these new balloc() and reballoc() functions I managed to reduce
memory consumption so much that Cosmpolitan Ar should now use roughly
100x fewer bytes of peak resident memory compared to llvm-ar. Correct
behavior with better compatibility has been assured. Binary output is
now pretty much bit-identical to llvm-ar, as of this change. This can
and should be the living proof we need to show that a better world is
possible for software.
This change introduces support for Linux-style uc_context manipulation
that's fast and works well on all supported OSes and architectures. It
also integrates with the Cosmpolitan runtime which can show backtraces
comprised of multiple stacks and fibers. See the test and example code
for further details. This will be used by Mold once it's been vendored
This change (1) upgrades to OpenBSD's newer kernel ABIs, and (2)
modifies APE to have a read-only data segment. Doing this required
creating APE Loader v1.1, which is backwards and forwards compatible
with the previous version.
If you've run the following commands in the past to install your APE
Loader systemwide, then you need to run them again. Ad-hoc installations
shouldn't be impacted. It's also recommended that APE binaries be remade
after upgrading, since they embed old versions of the APE Loader.
ape/apeuninstall.sh
ape/apeinstall.sh
This change does more than just fix OpenBSD. The new loader is smarter
and more reliable. We're now able create much tinier ELF and Mach-O data
structures than we could before. Both APE Loader and execvpe() will now
normalize ambiguous argv[0] resolution the same way as the UNIX shell.
Badness with TLS linkage has been solved.
Fixes#826
