- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph
- 8.8% reduction in latency of make command
- Fix issue with temporary file cleanup
There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent
Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not
unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does.
Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead
in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since
the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx
make -j16 MODE=rel
RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time
RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size
RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel)
RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy)
RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual)
RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations
pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error.
These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module.
This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums
which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too
- Make memmem() faster
- Make readdir() thread safe
- Remove 64kb limit from mkdeps.com
- Add old crypt() function from Musl
- Improve new fix-third-party.py tool
- Improve libc/isystem/ headers and fix bugs
- Introduce path module to redbean
- Fix glitch with linenoise printing extra line on eof
- Introduce closefrom() and close_range() system calls
- Make file descriptor closing more secure in pledge.com
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.

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.

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

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

You can now call functions like fork() from Lua and it'll work across
all supported platforms, including Windows. This gives you a level of
control of the system that Lua traditionally hasn't been able to have
due to its focus on old portable stdio rather modern POSIX APIs. Demo
code has been added to redbean-demo.com to show how it works.
This change also modifies Lua so that integer literals with a leading
zero will be interpreted as octal. That should help avoid shooting in
the foot with POSIX APIs that frequently use octal mode bits.
This change fixes a bug in opendir(".") on New Technology.
Lastly, redbean will now serve crash reports to private network IPs.
This is consistent with other frameworks. However that isn't served
to public IPs unless the -E flag is passed to redbean at startup.
