This change introduces the nointernet() function which may be called to
prevent a process and its descendants from communicating with publicly
routable Internet addresses. GNU Make has been modified to always call
this function. In the future Landlock Make will have a way to whitelist
subnets to override this behavior, or disable it entirely. Support is
available for Linux only. Our firewall does not require root access.
Calling nointernet() will return control to the caller inside a new
process that has a SECCOMP BPF filter installed, which traps network
related system calls. Your original process then becomes a permanent
ptrace() supervisor that monitors all processes and threads descending
from the returned child. Whenever a networking system call happens the
kernel will stop the process and wakes up the monitor, which then peeks
into the child memory to read the sockaddr_in to determine if it's ok.
The downside to doing this is that there can be only one supervisor at a
time using ptrace() on a process. So this firewall won't be enabled if
you run make under strace or inside gdb. It also makes testing tricky.

This change fixes a regression in unix.connect() caused by the recent
addition of UNIX domain sockets. The BSD finger command has been added
to third_party for fun and profit. A new demo has been added to redbean
showing how a protocol as simple as finger can be implemented.

- System call trace in MODE=dbg now prints inherited FDs and signal mask
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

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.

- Emulator can now test the αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε bootloader
- Whipped up a webserver named redbean. It services 150k requests per
second on a single core. Bundling assets inside zip enables extremely
fast serving for two reasons. The first is that zip central directory
lookups go faster than stat() system calls. The second is that both
zip and gzip content-encoding use DEFLATE, therefore, compressed
responses can be served via the sendfile() system call which does an
in-kernel copy directly from the zip executable structure. Also note
that red bean zip executables can be deployed easily to all platforms,
since these native executables work on Linux, Mac, BSD, and Windows.
- Address sanitizer now works very well
