We now rewrite the binary image at runtime on Windows and XNU to change
mov %fs:0,%reg instructions to use %gs instead. There's also simpler
threading API introduced by this change and it's called _spawn() and
_join(), which has replaced most clone() usage.
Our build was flaking due to ETXTBSY errors running multiple redbean
instances in parallel. This is due to the StoreAsset() support which
seems to cause enough problems it's worth making a *breaking change*
turning it off by default for now. There's a new -* flag, to restore
redbean's old self-modifying behavior.
- Fix DescribeSigset()
- Introduce new unix.rmrf() API
- Fix redbean sigaction() doc example code
- Fix unix.sigaction() w/ more than two args
- Improve redbean re module API (non-breaking)
- Enhance Lua with Python string multiplication
- Make third parameter of unix.socket() default to 0
This change fixes a regression from 281a0f27 which resulted in the
integer literal `0` being interpreted as a floating point number. This
should also fix a reported issue with Fennel integration.
The Compress() and Uncompress() APIs were a mistake. The functions
themselves work fine, but it's a design blemish and does superfluous
work. Since they were only introduced in the last few weeks, they're now
deprecated and references to them have been scrubbed from the website
and other documentation. Please use the new APIs since the old APIs will
be removed at some point in the future.
This change introduces automated Lua unit tests for the Redbean APIs.
There's a few functions that were broken which have now been fixed, e.g.
Underlong() and Decimate().
- Wrap clock_getres()
- Wrap sched_setscheduler()
- Make sleep() api conformant
- Polyfill sleep() using select()
- Improve clock_gettime() polyfill
- Make nanosleep() POSIX conformant
- Slightly improve some DNS functions
- Further strengthen pledge() sandboxing
- Improve rounding of timeval / timespec
- Allow layering of pledge() calls on Linux
- Polyfill sched_yield() using select() on XNU
- Delete more system constants we probably don't need
When a format string like %2x is provided, the width parameter was read
correctly as 2, but it was not used when decoding the number from the
input string (ie instead of reading 2 characters from the input string,
vcscanf read all the characters).
This change uses the value of width within the number decoding loop to
read fixed number of digits correctly. if width is zero (not provided),
the default of width is set as bits.
Fixes#423
- Introduce __assert_disable global
- Improve strsignal() thread safety
- Make system call tracing thread safe
- Fix SO_RCVTIMEO / SO_SNDTIMEO on Windows
- Refactor DescribeFoo() functions into one place

- Implement a better kludge for monotonic time on Windows
On all operating systems tested so far, PROT_EXEC without PROT_READ
always makes memory readable. This turned out to not be the case on
Chromebooks, which likely means they have the capability of running
programs which aren't able to read their own code.
This change makes pthread_mutex_lock() as fast as _spinlock() by
default. Thread instability issues on NetBSD have been resolved.
Improvements made to gdtoa thread code. Crash reporting will now
synchronize between threads in a slightly better way.
This change hardens the code for opening /zip/ files using the system
call interface. Thread safety and signal safety has been improved for
file descriptors in general. We now document fixed addresses that are
needed for low level allocations.
- Fix Makefile flaking due to ZIPOBJ_FLAGS generation
- Make printf() floating point and gdtoa thread safe
- Polish up the runit / runitd programs some more
- Prune some more makefile dependencies
Calls to lock/unlock functions are now NOPs by default. The first time
clone() is called, they get turned into CALL instructions. Doing this
caused funcctions like fputc() to shrink from 85 bytes to 45+4 bytes.
Since the ANSI solution of `(__threaded && lock())` inlines os much
superfluous binary content into functions all over the place.
- Finish cleaning up the stdio unlocked APIs
- Make __cxa_finalize() properly thread safe
- Don't log locks if threads aren't being used
- Add some more mutex guards to places using _mmi
- Specific lock names now appear in the --ftrace logs
- Fix mkdeps.com generating invalid Makefiles sometimes
- Simplify and fix bugs in the test runner infrastructure
- Fix issue where sometimes some functions wouldn't be logged
These releases are really exciting since they contained the patches we
worked to get upstreamed. It means that their /bin/sh interpreters all
work fine with Actually Portable Executable now.
This change switches most of the core locks to be re-entrant, in order
to reduce the chance of deadlocking code that does, clever things with
asynchronous signal handlers. This change implements it it in pthreads
so we're one step closer to having a standardized threading primitives
This change ensures we do a better job translating /c/foo.bar paths into
c:/foo.bar paths on Windows when generating the CreateProcess() cmd line
thus fixing a regression that happened in the last two months when using
the help() feature of Actually Portable Python in the CMD.EXE shell.
This change turns symbol table compression back on using Puff, which
noticeably reduces the size of programs like redbean and Python. The
redbean web server receives some minor API additions for controlling
things like SSL in addition to filling gaps in the documentation.

- Make errnos for dup2 / dup3 consistent with posix
This change also fixes a bug in the argon2 module, where the NUL
terminator was being included in the hash encoded ascii string. This
shouldn't require any database migrations to folks who found this module
and productionized it, since the argon2 library treats it as a c string.
The longjmp relocation in the master boot record coincidentally had a
quote character in it, which caused the master boot record to be used
when interpreter by the shell. The solution, is to move the grub stub
below the long mode loader so the real mode loader relocation is near
the master boot record. This change includes a regression test.

If you checked out yesterday's APE commit, please run:
rm -f /usr/bin/ape o/tmp/ape /tmp/ape "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ape"
Because this change fixes certain aspects of the new ABI. We don't have
automated migrations for APE loader versions yet. Thanks! You can also
download prebuilt binaries here:
- https://justine.lol/ape.elf (Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD)
- https://justine.lol/ape.macho (Apple)
Install the appropriate one as `/usr/bin/ape`.
The "no modify self" variant of Actually Portable Executable is now
supported on all platforms. If you use `$(APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF)` then
ld.bfd will embed a 4096 byte ELF binary and a 4096 byte Macho file
which are installed on the fly to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}, which enables us
launch the executable, without needing to copy the whole executable
To prevent it from copying a tiny executable to your temp directory
you need to install the `ape` command (renamed from ape-loader), to
a system path. For example:
# FreeBSD / NetBSD / OpenBSD
make -j8 o//ape/ape
cp o//ape/ape /usr/bin/ape
# Mac OS
# make -j8 o//ape/ape.macho
curl https://justine.lol/ape.macho >/usr/bin/ape
chmod +x /usr/bin/ape
On Linux you can get even more performance with the new binfmt_misc
support which makes launching non-modifying APE binaries as fast as
launching ELF executables. Running the following command:
# Linux
ape/apeinstall.sh
Will copy APE loader to /usr/bin/ape and register with binfmt_misc
Lastly, this change also fixes a really interesting race condition
with OpenBSD thread joining.
The greenbean web server now works nearly perfectly on Windows with over
1000 threads. But some synchronization issues still remain which prevent
us from going over nine thousand.

- Fix recent possible deadlock regression with --ftrace
This change fixes a nasty regression caused by
80b211e314 which deadlocked.
This change also causes MbedTLS to prefer the ChaCha ciphersuite on
older CPUs that don't have AES hardware instructions.
- add vdso dump utility
- tests now log stack usage
- rename g_ftrace to __ftrace
- make internal spinlocks go faster

- munmap() has more consistent behavior now
- pacify fsync() calls on python unit tests
- make --strace flag work better in redbean
- start minimizing and documenting compiler flags
This change introduces a `-W /dev/pts/1` flag to redbean. What it does
is use the mincore() system call to create a dual-screen terminal
display that lets you troubleshoot the virtual address space. This is
useful since page faults are an important thing to consider when using a
forking web server. Now we have a colorful visualization of which pages
are going to fault and which ones are resident in memory.
The memory monitor, if enabled, spawns as a thread that just outputs
ANSI codes to the second terminal in a loop. In order to make this
happen using the new clone() polyfill, stdio is now thread safe.
This change also introduces some new demo pages to redbean. It also
polishes the demos we already have, to look a bit nicer and more
presentable for the upcoming release, with better explanations too.
These will now be included in the cosmopolitan.a releases. It took a bit
of time because, these functions depend on heavyweight parts of the libc
that wouldn't be appropriate for the core zlib library to depend upon.
Fixes#345
You now have some ability to truly make an executable yours, by adding a
`.args` file to the root of the zip structure. If this is specified,
then you'll be overriding the default CLI args.
This will be a great feature for folks who want to distribute their own
apps, using the interpreter executable, but have the executable appears
to be just your app rather than being the interpreter.

This change makes strftime() go faster and makes it possible to format
timestamps through the big bang to most of the stelliferous era. India
has also been added as a timezone to most binaries. Since we were able
to change the struct tm abi, this makes cosmopolitan libc superior, to
just about everything else, when it comes to standing the test of time

It's now possible to pass the `-S` or `-SS` flags to sandbox redbean
worker proecsses after they've been forked. The first `-S` flag is
intended to be a permissive builtin policy that limits system calls to
only that which the various parts of redbean serving need. The second
`-SS` flag is intended to be more restrictive, preventing things like
the Lua extensions you download off the web from using the HTTP client
or sockets APIs. In upcoming changes you'll be able to implement your
own Berkeley Packet Filter sandbox programs and load them via Lua.
- Fix a regression with the previous change that broke redbean
- Add chroot(), resource limit, seccomp, and other stuff to redbean
- Write lots and lots of documentation
- Iron out more system call issues
This change makes further effort towards improving our poll()
implementation on the New Technology. The stdin worker didn't work out
so well for Python so it's not being used for now. System call tracing
with the --strace flag should now be less noisy now on Windows unless
you modify the strace.internal.h defines to turn on some optional ones
that are most useful for debugging the system call wrappers.

- Give NT a big performance boost with memory

redbean will now cleanup child processes properly. New accounting
information is available too, such as page faults and memory usage. The
way it works is Cosmopolitan Libc samples the process collection on
entry into read() and poll() to see if SIGCHLD needs to be raised.
This change also fixes an issue with chibicc /tmp cleanup. There was
also a regression in MODE=dbg because STL needed ASAN runtime support.
You can now use psapi.dll and pdh.dll. Some TODOs for Windows have been
cleared out. We might have a working load average for the platform that
should help GNU Make work well.
You can now use the hardest fastest and most dangerous language there is
with Cosmopolitan. So far about 75% of LLVM libcxx has been added. A few
breaking changes needed to be made to help this go smoothly.
- Rename nothrow to dontthrow
- Rename nodiscard to dontdiscard
- Add some libm functions, e.g. lgamma, nan, etc.
- Change intmax_t from int128 to int64 like everything else
- Introduce %jjd formatting directive for int128_t
- Introduce strtoi128(), strtou128(), etc.
- Rename bsrmax() to bsr128()
Some of the templates that should be working currently are std::vector,
std::string, std::map, std::set, std::deque, etc.
Continuous Integration (via runit and runitd) is now re-enabled on win7
and win10. The `make test` command, which runs the tests on all systems
is now the fastest and most stable it's been since the project started.
UBSAN is now enabled in MODE=dbg in addition to ASAN. Many instances of
undefined behavior have been removed. Mostly things like passing a NULL
argument to memcpy(), which works fine with Cosmopolitan Libc, but that
doesn't prevents the compiler from being unhappy. There was an issue w/
GNU make where static analysis claims a sprintf() call can overflow. We
also now have nicer looking crash reports on Windows since uname should
now be supported and msys64 addr2line works reliably.
Now that we have understandable system call tracing on Windows, this
change rewrites many of the polyfill internals for that platform, to
help things get closer to tip top shape. Support for complex forking
scenarios had been in a regressed state for quite some time. Now, it
works! Subsequent changes should be able to address the performance.
- Simulate SIGPIPE on Windows NT
- Fix commandv() regression on Windows NT
- Fix sigprocmask() strace bug on OpenBSD
- Add many more system calls to --strace logging
- Make errno state more pristine in redbean strace
This is similar to the --ftrace (c function call trace) flag, except
it's less noisy since it only logs system calls to stderr. Having this
flag is valuable because (1) system call tracing tells us a lot about
the behavior of complex programs and (2) it's usually very hard to get
system call tracing on various operating systems, e.g. strace, ktrace,
dtruss, truss, nttrace, etc. Especially on Apple platforms where even
with the special boot trick, debuggers still aren't guaranteed to work.
make -j8 o//examples
o//examples/hello.com --strace
This is enabled by default in MODE=, MODE=opt, and MODE=dbg. In MODE=dbg
extra information will be printed.
make -j8 MODE=dbg o/dbg/examples
o/dbg/examples/hello.com --strace |& less

We defined `noinline` as an abbreviation for the longer version
`__attribute__((__noinline__))` which caused name clashes since
third party codebases often write it as `__attribute__((noinline))`.
This commit makes numerous refinements to cosmopolitan memory handling.
The default stack size has been reduced from 2mb to 128kb. A new macro
is now provided so you can easily reconfigure the stack size to be any
value you want. Work around the breaking change by adding to your main:
STATIC_STACK_SIZE(0x00200000); // 2mb stack
If you're not sure how much stack you need, then you can use:
STATIC_YOINK("stack_usage_logging");
After which you can `sort -nr o/$MODE/stack.log`. Based on the unit test
suite, nothing in the Cosmopolitan repository (except for Python) needs
a stack size greater than 30kb. There are also new macros for detecting
the size and address of the stack at runtime, e.g. GetStackAddr(). We
also now support sigaltstack() so if you want to see nice looking crash
reports whenever a stack overflow happens, you can put this in main():
ShowCrashReports();
Under `make MODE=dbg` and `make MODE=asan` the unit testing framework
will now automatically print backtraces of memory allocations when
things like memory leaks happen. Bugs are now fixed in ASAN global
variable overrun detection. The memtrack and asan runtimes also handle
edge cases now. The new tools helped to identify a few memory leaks,
which are fixed by this change.
This change should fix an issue reported in #288 with ARG_MAX limits.
Fixing this doubled the performance of MKDEPS.COM and AR.COM yet again.
- python now mixes audio 10x faster
- python octal notation is restored
- chibicc now builds code 3x faster
- chibicc now has help documentation
- chibicc can now generate basic python bindings
- linenoise now supports some paredit-like features
See #141
The APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF loader payload has been moved out of the examples
folder and improved so that it works on BSD systems, and permits general
elf program headers. This brings its quality up enough that it should be
acceptable to use by default for many programs, e.g. Python, Lua, SQLite
and Python. It's the responsibility of the user to define an appropriate
TMPDIR if /tmp is considered an adversarial environment. Mac OS shall be
supported by APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF soon.
Fixes and improvements have been made to program_executable_name as it's
now the one true way to get the absolute path of the executing image.
This change fixes a memory leak in linenoise history loading, introduced
by performance optimizations in 51904e2687
This change fixes a longstanding regression with Mach system calls, that
23ae9dfceb back in February which impacted
our sched_yield() implementation, which is why no one noticed until now.
The Blinkenlights PC emulator has been improved. We now fix rendering on
XNU and BSD by not making the assumption that the kernel terminal driver
understands UTF8 since that seems to break its internal modeling of \r\n
which is now being addressed by using \e[𝑦H instead. The paneling is now
more compact in real mode so you won't need to make your font as tiny if
you're only emulating an 8086 program. The CLMUL ISA is now emulated too
This change also makes improvement to time. CLOCK_MONOTONIC now does the
right thing on Windows NT. The nanosecond time module functions added in
Python 3.7 have been backported.
This change doubles the performance of Argon2 password stretching simply
by not using its copy_block and xor_block helper functions, as they were
trivial to inline thus resulting in us needing to iterate over each 1024
byte block four fewer times.
This change makes code size improvements. _PyUnicode_ToNumeric() was 64k
in size and now it's 10k. The CJK codec lookup tables now use lazy delta
zigzag deflate (δzd) encoding which reduces their size from 600k to 200k
plus the code bloat caused by macro abuse in _decimal.c is now addressed
so our fully-loaded statically-linked hermetically-sealed Python virtual
interpreter container is now 9.4 megs in the default build mode and 5.5m
in MODE=tiny which leaves plenty of room for chibicc.
The pydoc web server now accommodates the use case of people who work by
SSH'ing into a different machine w/ python.com -m pydoc -p8080 -h0.0.0.0

couldn't live without, e.g. UTF-8, CTRL-R search and CTRL-Y yanking. It
now feels just as good in terms of user interface from the subconscious
workflow perspective. It's real nice to finally have an embeddable line
reader that's actually good with a 30 kb footprint and a bsd-2 license.
This change adds a directory to the examples folder, explaining how the
new Python compiler may be used. Some of the bugs with Python binaries
have been addressed but overall it's still a work in progress.
We can now link even smaller Python binaries. For example, the hello.com
program in the Python build directory is a compiled linked executable of
hello.py which just prints hello world. Using decentralized sections, we
can make that binary 1.9mb in size (noting that python.com is 6.3 megs!)
This works for nontrivial programs too. For example, say we want an APE
binary that's equivalent to python.com -m http.server. Our makefile now
builds such a binary using the new launcher and it's only 3.2mb in size
since Python sources get turned into ELF objects, which tell our linker
that we need things like native hashing algorithm code.
The ZIP filesystem has a breaking change. You now need to use /zip/ to
open() / opendir() / etc. assets within the ZIP structure of your APE
binary, instead of the previous convention of using zip: or zip! URIs.
This is needed because Python likes to use absolute paths, and having
ZIP paths encoded like URIs simply broke too many things.
Many more system calls have been updated to be able to operate on ZIP
files and file descriptors. In particular fcntl() and ioctl() since
Python would do things like ask if a ZIP file is a terminal and get
confused when the old implementation mistakenly said yes, because the
fastest way to guarantee native file descriptors is to dup(2). This
change also improves the async signal safety of zipos and ensures it
doesn't maintain any open file descriptors beyond that which the user
has opened.
This change makes a lot of progress towards adding magic numbers that
are specific to platforms other than Linux. The philosophy here is that,
if you use an operating system like FreeBSD, then you should be able to
take advantage of FreeBSD exclusive features, even if we don't polyfill
them on other platforms. For example, you can now open() a file with the
O_VERIFY flag. If your program runs on other platforms, then Cosmo will
automatically set O_VERIFY to zero. This lets you safely use it without
the need for #ifdef or ifstatements which detract from readability.
One of the blindspots of the ASAN memory hardening we use to offer Rust
like assurances has always been that memory passed to the kernel via
system calls (e.g. writev) can't be checked automatically since the
kernel wasn't built with MODE=asan. This change makes more progress
ensuring that each system call will verify the soundness of memory
before it's passed to the kernel. The code for doing these checks is
fast, particularly for buffers, where it can verify 64 bytes a cycle.
- Correct O_LOOP definition on NT
- Introduce program_executable_name
- Add ASAN guards to more system calls
- Improve termios compatibility with BSDs
- Fix bug in Windows auxiliary value encoding
- Add BSD and XNU specific errnos and open flags
- Add check to ensure build doesn't talk to internet
Actually Portable Python is now outperforming the Python binaries
that come bundled with Linux distros, at things like HTTP serving.
You can now have a fully featured Python install in just one .com
file that runs on six operating systems and is about 10mb in size.
With tuning, the tiniest is ~1mb. We've got most of the libraries
working, including pysqlite, and the repl now feels very pleasant.
The things you can't do quite yet are: threads and shared objects
but that can happen in the future, if the community falls in love
with this project and wants to see it developed further. Changes:
- Add siginterrupt()
- Add sqlite3 to Python
- Add issymlink() helper
- Make GetZipCdir() faster
- Add tgamma() and finite()
- Add legacy function lutimes()
- Add readlink() and realpath()
- Use heap allocations when appropriate
- Reorganize Python into two-stage build
- Save Lua / Python shell history to dotfile
- Integrate Python Lib embedding into linkage
- Make isregularfile() and isdirectory() go faster
- Make Python shell auto-completion work perfectly
- Make crash reports work better if changed directory
- Fix Python+NT open() / access() flag overflow error
- Disable Python tests relating to \N{LONG NAME} syntax
- Have Python REPL copyright() show all notice embeddings
The biggest technical challenge at the moment is working around
when Python tries to be too clever about filenames.
Thanks to all the refactorings we now have the ability to enforce
reasonable limitations on the amount of resources any individual
compile or test can consume. Those limits are currently:
- `-C 8` seconds of 3.1ghz CPU time
- `-M 256mebibytes` of virtual memory
- `-F 100megabyte` limit on file size
Only one file currently needs to exceed these limits:
o/$(MODE)/third_party/python/Objects/unicodeobject.o: \
QUOTA += -C16 # overrides cpu limit to 16 seconds
This change introduces a new sizetol() function to LIBC_FMT for parsing
byte or bit size strings with Si unit suffixes. Functions like atoi()
have been rewritten too.
This change gets the Python codebase into a state where it conforms to
the conventions of this codebase. It's now possible to include headers
from Python, without worrying about ordering. Python has traditionally
solved that problem by "diamonding" everything in Python.h, but that's
problematic since it means any change to any Python header invalidates
all the build artifacts. Lastly it makes tooling not work. Since it is
hard to explain to Emacs when I press C-c C-h to add an import line it
shouldn't add the header that actually defines the symbol, and instead
do follow the nonstandard Python convention.
Progress has been made on letting Python load source code from the zip
executable structure via the standard C library APIs. System calss now
recognizes zip!FILENAME alternative URIs as equivalent to zip:FILENAME
since Python uses colon as its delimiter.
Some progress has been made on embedding the notice license terms into
the Python object code. This is easier said than done since Python has
an extremely complicated ownership story.
- Some termios APIs have been added
- Implement rewinddir() dirstream API
- GetCpuCount() API added to Cosmopolitan Libc
- More bugs in Cosmopolitan Libc have been fixed
- zipobj.com now has flags for mangling the path
- Fixed bug a priori with sendfile() on certain BSDs
- Polyfill F_DUPFD and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC across platforms
- FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX now polyfilled for fast O_CLOEXEC changes
- APE now supports a hybrid solution to no-self-modify for builds
- Many BSD-only magnums added, e.g. O_SEARCH, O_SHLOCK, SF_NODISKIO
It's important for build performance to use := rather than = notation so
that $(wildcard foo/*) isn't a lazily evaluated lambda. In the case of
Python where we need a lot of tuning and excludes, it should help to
spell things out a bit more to just not use wildcard for now.
- Abort if .init.lua fails
- Refactor redbean to use new append library
- Use first certificate if SNI routing fails
- Use function/data sections when building Lua
- Don't use self-signed auto-generated cert for client
- Add -D staging dirs to redbean lua module default path
redbean will now set Referer-Policy to no-referrer-when-downgrade on
text/html responses by default. There's better explanations on the bits
of security redbean is offering. In short, it's 128+ for modern clients
and 112+ for legacy. If the -B flag is used then it's 192+ for modern
and 150+ for non-EC.
One of the disadvantages of x25519 and ℘256 is it only provides 126 bits
of security, so that seems like a weak link in the chain, if we're using
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384. The U.S. government wants classified data
to be encrypted using a curve at least as strong as ℘384, which provides
192 bits of security, but if you read the consensus of stack exchange it
would give you the impression that ℘384 is three times slower.
This change (as well as the previous one) makes ℘384 three times as fast
by tuning its modulus and multiplication subroutines with new tests that
should convincingly show: the optimized code behaves the same way as the
old code. Some of the diff noise from the previous change is now removed
too, so that our vendored fork can be more easily compared with upstream
sources. So you can now have stronger cryptography without compromises.
℘384 modulus Justine l: 28𝑐 9𝑛𝑠
℘384 modulus MbedTLS NIST l: 127𝑐 41𝑛𝑠
℘384 modulus MbedTLS MPI l: 1,850𝑐 597𝑛𝑠
The benchmarks above show the improvements made by secp384r1() which is
an important function since it needs to be called 13,000 times whenever
someone establishes a connection to your web server. The same's true of
Mul6x6Adx() which is able to multiply 384-bit numbers in 73 cycles, but
only if your CPU was purchased after 2014 when Broadwell was introduced
This change makes SSL virtual hosting possible. You can now load
multiple certificates for multiple domains and redbean will just
figure out which one to use, even if you only have 1 ip address.
You can also use a jumbo certificate that lists all your domains
in the the subject alternative names.
This change also makes performance improvements to MbedTLS. Here
are some benchmarks vs. cc1920749e

There aren't any special tricks to the performance imporvements.
It's mostly due to code cleanup, assembly and intel instructions
like mulx, adox, and adcx.
This change boosts SSL handshake performance from 2,627 to ~10,000 per
second which is the same level of performance as NGINX at establishing
secure connections. That's impressive if we consider that redbean is a
forking frontend application server. This was accomplished by:
1. Enabling either SSL session caching or SSL tickets. We choose to
use tickets since they reduce network round trips too and that's
a more important metric than wrk'ing localhost.
2. Fixing mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() which is the most frequently called
function. It's called about 12,000 times during an SSL handshake
since it's the basis of most arithmetic operations like addition
and for some strange reason it was designed to make two needless
copies in addition to calling malloc and free. That's now fixed.
3. Improving TLS output buffering during the SSL handshake only, so
that only a single is write and read system call is needed until
blocking on the ping pong.
redbean will now do a better job wiping sensitive memory from a child
process as soon as it's not needed. The nice thing about fork is it's
much faster than reverse proxying so the goal is to use the different
address spaces along with setuid() to minimize the risk that a server
key will be compromised in the event that application code is hacked.
The following Lua APIs have been added:
- IsDaemon() → bool
- ProgramPidPath(str)
The following Lua hooks have been added:
- OnClientConnection(ip:int,port:int,serverip:int,serverport:int) → bool
- OnProcessCreate(pid:int,ip:int,port:int,serverip:int,serverport:int)
- OnProcessDestroy(pid:int)
- OnServerStart()
- OnServerStop()
- OnWorkerStart()
- OnWorkerStop()
redbean now does a better job at applying gzip on the fly from the local
filesystem, using a streaming chunked api with constant memory, which is
useful for doing things like serving a 4gb text file off NFS, and having
it start transmitting in milliseconds. redbean will also compute entropy
on the beginnings of files to determine if compression is profitable.
This change pays off technical debts relating to memory, such as relying
on exit() to free() allocations. That's now mostly fixed so it should be
easier now to spot memory leaks in malloc traces.
This change also fixes bugs and makes improvements to our SSL support.
Uniprocess mode failed handshakes are no longer an issue. Token Alpn is
offered so curl -v looks less weird. Hybrid SSL certificate loading is
now smarter about naming conflicts. Self-signed CA root anchors will no
longer be delivered to the client during the handshake.
The implementations of the getproto* functions follow from the getserv*
functions: same static name allocation, same type of internal function
that opens a file to search, aliases are not written to the struct, same
type of error handling/returns.
This changes also fixes a getaddrinfo AI_PASSIVE memory error. When
getaddrinfo is passed name = NULL and AI_PASSIVE in hints->ai_flags, it was
setting the s_addr value to INADDR_ANY but *not* returning the addrinfo
pointer via *res = ai. This caused a free(NULL) memory error when the caller
tried to free res, because the caller expects res to be a valid pointer to a
struct addrinfo.
Our non-standard API parseport() has been updated to use strtoimax.
strtoimax has an extra parameter endptr to store where the parsing was
terminated. endptr is used in parseport to check if the provided string
was valid.
- Fix Content-Type inference when file extension has number
- Remove shoddy Class A granular IP classiifcation
- Have setuid() and setgid() take effect w/o daemonization
- Make GetParams() return empty table instead of nil
- Change SetLogLevel(int) to only apply to one message
- Make SetLogLevel(int) good enough to be access_log off
- Introduce ProgramUid(int) which is same as -U INT
- Introduce ProgramGid(int) which is same as -G INT
- Introduce ProgramLogPath(str) which is same as -L PATH
- Introduce ProgramDirectory(str) which is same as -D PATH
- Introduce ProgramLogBodies(bool) which is same as -b
- Introduce ProgramLogMessages(bool) which is same as -m
You can now say the following in your redbean Lua code:
status,headers,payload = Fetch("https://foo.example")
The following Lua APIs have been introduced:
- Fetch(str) → str,{str:str},str
- GetHttpReason(int) → str
- GetHttpReason(int) → str
- ProgramSslFetchVerify(bool)
- ProgramSslClientVerify(bool)
The following flags have been introduced:
- `-j` enables client SSL verification
- `-k` disables Fetch() SSL verification
- `-t INT` may now be passed a negative value for keepalive
Lua exceptions now invoke Cosmopolitan's garbage collector when
unwinding the stack. So it's now safe to use _gc() w/ Lua 𝔱𝔥𝔯𝔬𝔴
See #97
Things are a little better. The LLD that comes with Linux seems to work.
Old versions like LLVM 8 haven't been supported since Cosmopolitan v0.2.
Running Clang on Windows with --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu doesn't seem
to work. It has something to do with the recently added .zip section in
the linker script. But even if that's removed, LLD on Windows thinks it
is building an EFI application for some reason. Linker scripts are such
a brittle house of cards, even for just ld.bfd alone..
We should just find a way to run our one true musl-cross-make linux gcc
toolchain under Blinkenlights on non-Linux because GCC and Clang are so
nondeterministic, inconsistent, and unreproducible when built for other
operating systems. We need an actually portable compiler/linker that'll
always behave the same way no matter what.
See #180
- Use nullness checks when calling weakly linked functions.
- Avoid typedef for reasons described in Linux Kernel style guide.
- Avoid enum in in Windows headers. Earlier in Cosmo's history all one
hundred files in libc/nt/enum/ used to be enums and it resulted in
gigabytes of DWARF data almost as large as everything else in the
codebase combined.
- Bitfields aren't our friends. They have frequent ABI breakages,
inconsistent arithmetic across compilers, and different endianness
between cpus. Compiler authors also haven't invested much roi into
making bit fields go fast so they produce poor assembly.
- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() or snprintf() for length-bounded
copying of C strings. strncpy() is a misunderstood function and
snprintf() is awesome but memccpy() deserves more love.
Your redbean can now interoperate with clients that require TLS crypto.
This is accomplished using a protocol polyglot that lets us distinguish
between HTTP and HTTPS regardless of the port number. Certificates will
be generated automatically, if none are supplied by the user. Footprint
increases by only a few hundred kb so redbean in MODY=tiny is now 1.0mb
- Add lseek() polyfills for ZIP executable
- Automatically polyfill /tmp/FOO paths on NT
- Fix readdir() / ftw() / nftw() bugs on Windows
- Introduce -B flag for slower SSL that's stronger
- Remove mbedtls features Cosmopolitan doesn't need
- Have base64 decoder support the uri-safe alternative
- Remove Truncated HMAC because it's forbidden by the IETF
- Add all the mbedtls test suites and make them go 3x faster
- Support opendir() / readdir() / closedir() on ZIP executable
- Use Everest for ECDHE-ECDSA because it's so good it's so good
- Add tinier implementation of sha1 since it's not worth the rom
- Add chi-square monte-carlo mean correlation tests for getrandom()
- Source entropy on Windows from the proper interface everyone uses
We're continuing to outperform NGINX and other servers on raw message
throughput. Using SSL means that instead of 1,000,000 qps you can get
around 300,000 qps. However redbean isn't as fast as NGINX yet at SSL
handshakes, since redbean can do 2,627 per second and NGINX does 4.3k
Right now, the SSL UX story works best if you give your redbean a key
signing key since that can be easily generated by openssl using a one
liner then redbean will do all the things that are impossibly hard to
do like signing ecdsa and rsa certificates that'll work in chrome. We
should integrate the let's encrypt acme protocol in the future.

The getnameinfo implementation requires an address -> name lookup on the
hosts file (ie struct HostsTxt) and the previous implementation used
flags to check whether HostsTxt was sorted according to address or name,
and then re-sorted it if necessary. Now getnameinfo lookup does not
require sorting, it does a simple linear lookup, and so the related code
was simplified
See #172 for discussion.
This change gets redbean SQLite working in write mode on Windows.
Warnings have been added to the appropriate and responsible places.
Hacking proprietary PC systems into production-worthy servers isn't
terribly high on the list of priorities. Consider BSD or Linux when
building online systems that service requests from multiple people.
Fixes#193
Added necessary constants (DNS_TYPE_PTR, NI_NUMERICHOST etc.).
Implementation of getnameinfo is similar to getaddrinfo, with internal
functions:
* ResolveDnsReverse: performs rDNS query and parses the PTR record
* ResolveHostsReverse: reads /etc/hosts to map hostname to
address
Earlier, the HOSTS.txt would only need to be sorted at loading time,
because the only kind of lookup was name -> address. Now since address
-> name lookups are also possible, so the HostsTxt struct, the sorting
method (and the related tests) was changed to reflect this.
- Better UBSAN error messages
- POSIX Advisory Locks polyfills
- Move redbean manual to /.help.txt
- System call memory safety in ASAN mode
- Character classification now does UNICODE
This change brings page faults for precompressed static asset serving
down from 27 to 20 (or fewer) after fork. This is more of an art than
science. Hopefully Blinkenlights can visualize page faults soon.
ASAN and vfork() don't appear to play well together. Maybe in later
versions of GCC it'll be better. But vfork() is flirting with danger
after all and that probably doesn't make sense in ASAN mode anyway.
- Fix regression with `%lu`
- Added some more headers witnessed in the wild
- Added `-M INT` option to redbean to tune max payload size
- Work around InfoZIP 256 character limit on comment line size
redbean improvements:
- Explicitly disable corking
- Simulate Python regex API for Lua
- Send warmup requests in main process on startup

- Fix stdio in cases where it overflows kernel tty buffer
- Fix bugs in crash reporting w/o .com.dbg binary present
- Add polyfills for SO_LINGER, SO_RCVTIMEO, and SO_SNDTIMEO
- Polyfill TCP_CORK on BSD and XNU using TCP_NOPUSH magnums
New netcat clone in examples/nc.c:
While testing some of the failure conditions for redbean, I noticed that
BusyBox's `nc` command is pretty busted, if you use it as an interactive
tool, rather than having it be part of a pipeline. Unfortunately this'll
only work on UNIX since Windows doesn't let us poll on stdio and sockets
at the same time because I don't think they want tools like this running
on their platform. So if you want forbidden fruit, it's here so enjoy it
- POSIX regular expressions for Lua
- Improved protocol parsing and encoding
- Additional APIs for ZIP storage retrieval
- Fix st_mode issue on NT for regular files
- Generalized APIs for URL and Host handling
- Worked out the kinks in resource resolution
- Allow for custom error pages like /404.html
The most exciting improvement is dynamic pages will soon be able to use
the executable itself as an object store. it required a heroic technique
for overcoming ETXTBSY restrictions which lets us open the executable in
read/write mode, which means (1) wa can restore the APE header, and (2)
we can potentially containerize redbean extension code so that modules
you download for your redbean online will only impact your redbean.
Here's a list of breaking changes to redbean:
- Remove /tool/net/ prefix from magic ZIP paths

Here's a list of fixes and enhancements to redbean:
- Support 64-bit ZIP archives
- Record User-Agent header in logs
- Add twelve error handlers to accept()
- Display octal st_mode on listing page
- Show ZIP file comments on listing page
- Restore APE MZ header on redbean startup
- Track request count on redbean index page
- Report server uptime on redbean index page
- Don't bind server socket using SO_REUSEPORT
- Fix#151 where Lua LoadAsset() could free twice
- Report rusage accounting when workers exit w/ -vv
- Use ZIP iattr field as text/plain vs. binary hint
- Add ParseUrl() API for parsing things like a.href
- Add ParseParams() API for parsing HTTP POST bodies

- Add virtual hosting that tries prepending Host to path
- Route requests based on Host in Request-URI if present
- Host routing will attempt to remove or add the www. prefix
- Sign-extend UNIX timestamps and don't adjust FileTime zone
Here's some of the improvements made to Cosmopolitan Libc:
- Fix ape.S indentation
- Improve consts.sh magnums
- Write pretty good URL parser
- Improve rusage accounting apis
- Bring mremap() closer to working
- Added ZIP APIs which will change
- Check for overflow in reallocarray()

- Fix GDB attach on crash w/ OpenBSD msyscall()
- Make sigqueue() portable to most UNIX distros
- Make integer serialization macros more elegant
- Bring back 34x tprecode8to16() performance boost
- Make malloc() more resilient to absurdly large sizes
This isn't working as intended in the Travis CI build environment.
There's likely some kind of microarchitectural issue. This change
gets us back into the green for the time being.
Cosmopolitan's QuickJS is now equally conformant and performant, with
the exception of Atomics, which have been disabled since Cosmopolitan

This change introduces ape-no-modify-self.o to the amalgamated release
binaries, which may be used as an alternative to ape.o to make it easier
to use APE in cases where the self-modifying behavior isn't acceptable.
Please note that this alternative copying behavior isn't necessarily
better. It introduces a whole bunch of questions of its own, which are
documented in the ape.S source comment and should be considered by both
the program author as well as the end-user of programs linked this way.
For example, build environments that use read-only file systems and
would prefer to not have a launcher wrapper (like we use in our build)
can use ape-no-modify-self.o instead of ape.o and then set the $TMPDIR
environment variable to point to a sane read-write-exec location.
Fixes#146
