There's a new program named ape/ape-m1.c which will be used to build an
embeddable binary that can load ape and elf executables. The support is
mostly working so far, but still chasing down ABI issues.
- Fix UX issues with llama.com
- Do housekeeping on libm code
- Add more vectorization to GGML
- Get GGJT quantizer programs working well
- Have the quantizer keep the output layer as f16c
- Prefetching improves performance 15% if you use fewer threads
- Perform some housekeeping on scalar math function code
- Import ARM's Optimized Routines for SIMD string processing
- Upgrade to latest Chromium zlib and enable more SIMD optimizations
- Introduce epoll_pwait()
- Rewrite -ftrapv and ffs() libraries in C code
- Use more FreeBSD code in math function library
- Get significantly more tests passing on qemu-aarch64
- Fix many Musl long double functions that were broken on AARCH64
- Utilities like pledge.com now build
- kprintf() will no longer balk at 48-bit addresses
- There's a new aarch64-dbg build mode that should work
- gc() and defer() are mostly pacified; avoid using them on aarch64
- THIRD_PART_STB now has Arm Neon intrinsics for fast image handling
It's now possible to run commands like:
make -j8 m=aarch64 o/aarch64/test/libc/str
Which will cross-compile and run the test suites in a qemu-aarch64
binary that's vendored in the third_party/qemu/ folder within your
x86_64 build environment.
The ShowCrashReports() feature for aarch64 should work even better than
the x86 crash reports. Thanks to the benefit of hindsight these reports
should be rock solid reliable and beautiful to read.
This change also improves the syscall polyfills for aarch64. Some of the
sys_foo() functions have been removed, usually because they're legacy or
downright footguns not worth building.
Right now, cosmopolitan uses Linux Landlock ABI version 2 on Linux,
meaning that the polyfill for unveil() cannot restrict operations such
as truncate() (a limitation of Landlock's ABI from then). This means
that to restrict truncation operations Cosmopolitan instead has to ban
the syscall through a SECCOMP BPF filter, meaning that completely
legitimate truncate() calls are blocked
However, the newest version of the Landlock ABI (version 3) introduced
in Linux 6.2, released in February 2023, implements support for controlling truncation
operations. As such, the previous SECCOMP BPF truncate() filtering is
no longer needed when the new ABI is available
This patch implements unveil truncate support for Linux Landlock ABI
version 3
The rpath pledge as currently implemented in cosmopolitan does not
allow for usage of the old getdents syscall (0x4e), which is different
from the newer getdents syscall (0xd9) solely in that it does not
support 64-bit filesystems.
This means that, for example, old statically linked binaries cannot
use `readdir` and other such functions which use this syscall instead
of the more modern one, even though there is no threat in allowing
that syscall alongside the more modern one (except that the binary may
have issues with 64-bit filesystems, but that's a separate problem).
This patch fixes this.
This fixes a bug where the caller's timeval will be clobbered on Linux.
The Kernel ABI *always* modifies the timeout argument but POSIX says it
should be a const parameter. The wrapper now handles the difference and
sys_select() may be used if obtaining the remainder on Linux is needed.
The system call wrapper was wrongfully reinterpreting kernel data. The
examples/sysinfo.c program is now updated to show how to correctly use
what's returned.
* [metal] Copy program pages to extended memory at startup
* [metal] Reclaim base memory pages for later app use
* [metal] Load program pages beyond 1st 440 KiB to extended memory
o//examples/hellolua.com now runs correctly under QEMU (in
legacy BIOS mode).
* [metal] Place GDT in read/write segment
The CPU absolutely needs to alter the GDT when loading the
task register (via ltr). To account for this, I move the
GDT into a read/write data section. There is still a "rump"
read-only GDT in the text section that is used by the real
mode bootloader.
We also delay the loading of the task register (ltr) until
after the IDT and TSS are finally set up.
* [metal] Get examples/vga2.c serial output working for UEFI boot
* [metal] Get examples/vga2.c VGA output working for UEFI boot
* [metal] Allow munmap() to reclaim dynamically allocated pages
* Place TLS sections right after .text, not after embedded zip file
