This change reconciles our pledge() implementation with the OpenBSD
kernel source code. We now a polyfill that's much closer to OpenBSD's
behavior. For example, it was discovered that "stdio" permits threads.
There were a bunch of Linux system calls that needed to be added, like
sched_yield(). The exec / execnative category division is now dropped.
We're instead using OpenBSD's "prot_exec" promise for launching APE
binaries and dynamic shared objects. We also now filter clone() flags.
The pledge.com command has been greatly improved. It now does unveiling
by default when Landlock is available. It's now smart enough to unveil a
superset of paths that OpenBSD automatically unveils with pledge(), such
as /etc/localtime. pledge.com also now checks if the executable being
launched is a dynamic shared object, in which case it unveils libraries.
These changes now make it possible to pledge curl on ubuntu 20.04 glibc:
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath prot_exec inet dns tty sendfd recvfd' \
curl -s https://justine.lol/hello.txt
Here's what pledging curl on Alpine 3.16 with Musl Libc looks like:
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath prot_exec dns inet' \
curl -s https://justine.lol/hello.txt
Here's what pledging curl.com w/ ape loader looks like:
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath prot_exec dns inet' \
o//examples/curl.com https://justine.lol/hello.txt
The most secure sandbox, is curl.com converted to static ELF:
o//tool/build/assimilate.com o//examples/curl.com
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath dns inet' \
o//examples/curl.com https://justine.lol/hello.txt
A weird corner case needed to be handled when resolving symbolic links
during the unveiling process, that's arguably a Landlock bug. It's not
surprising since Musl and Glibc are also inconsistent here too.
We had previously not enabled TLS in MODE=tiny in order to keep the
smallest example programs (e.g. life.com) just 16kb in size. But it
was error prone doing that, so now we just always enable it because
this change uses hacks to ensure it won't increase life.com's size.
This change also fixes a bug on NetBSD, where signal handlers would
break thread local storage if SA_SIGINFO was being used. This looks
like it might be a bug in NetBSD, but it's got a simple workaround.
This is an unusual failure that seems to happen intermittently across
the various build modes. It should not be possible for life.elf to be
exiting with status zero.
The pledge.com command now supports the new [WIP] unveil() support. For
example, to strongly sandbox our command for listing directories.
o//tool/build/assimilate.com o//examples/ls.com
pledge.com -v /etc -p 'stdio rpath' o//examples/ls.com /etc
This file system sandboxing is going to be perfect for us, because APE
binaries are self-contained static executables that really don't use the
filesystem that much. On the other hand, with non-static executables,
sandboxing is going to be more difficult. For example, here's how to
sandbox the `ls` command on the latest Alpine:
pledge.com -v rx:/lib -v /usr/lib -v /etc -p 'stdio rpath exec' ls /etc
This change fixes the `execpromises` API with pledge().
This change also adds unix.unveil() to redbean.
Fixes#494
It's now possible with any redbean (including redbean-original) to
launch the system web browser without having to use the Lua API. For
example, you can create an args file:
echo -I/ >.args
zip redbean-original.com .args
That will white-label redbean so it launches a specific page when you
double-click on the executable.

When `printimage` is invoked without `-w` or `-h`, we now preserve the
aspect ratio of each input image when scaling it to fit in the window.
A new flag `-i` ignores the aspect ratio, recovering the old behavior
when neither `-w` nor `-h` is passed. When `-i` is passed alongside
exactly one of `-w` or `-h`, the other dimension is just taken from the
window size, ignoring aspect ratio.
We also unconditionally print a newline between images to prevent them
from overlapping.

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
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().
