The earlier iterations did too much guesswork when it came to things
like stderr logging and syscall origin verification. This change will
make things more conformant to existing practices. The __pledge_mode
extension now can be configured in a better way.
There's also a new `-q` flag added to pledge.com, e.g.
o//tool/build/pledge.com -qv. ls
Is a good way to disable warnings about `tty` access attempts.
- 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
This change fixes Landlock Make so that only the output target file is
unveiled, rather than unveiling the directory that contains it. This
gives us a much stronger sandbox. It also helped identify problematic
build code in our repo that should have been using o/tmp instead.
Landlock isn't able to let us unveil files that don't exist. Even if
they do, then once a file is deleted, the sandboxing for it goes away.
This caused problems for Landlock Make because tools like GNU LD will
repeatedly delete and recreate the output file. This change uses the
compile.com wrapper to ensure on changes happen to the output inode.
New binary available on https://justine.lol/make/Fixes#528
- We now kill the program on violations like OpenBSD
- We now print a message explaining which promise is needed
- This change also fixes a linkage bug with thread local storage
- Your sigaction() handlers should now be more thread safe
A new `__pledge_mode` global has been introduced to make pledge() more
customizable on Linux. For example:
__attribute__((__constructor__)) static void init(void) {
__pledge_mode = SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO | EPERM;
}
Can be used to restore our old permissive pledge() behavior.
The whole repository is now buildable with GNU Make Landlock sandboxing.
This proves that no Makefile targets exist which touch files other than
their declared prerequisites. In order to do this, we had to:
1. Stop code morphing GCC output in package.com and instead run a
newly introduced FIXUPOBJ.COM command after GCC invocations.
2. Disable all the crumby Python unit tests that do things like create
files in the current directory, or rename() files between folders.
This ended up being a lot of tests, but most of them are still ok.
3. Introduce an .UNSANDBOXED variable to GNU Make to disable Landlock.
We currently only do this for things like `make tags`.
4. This change deletes some GNU Make code that was preventing the
execve() optimization from working. This means it should no longer
be necessary in most cases for command invocations to be indirected
through the cocmd interpreter.
5. Missing dependencies had to be declared in certain places, in cases
where they couldn't be automatically determined by MKDEPS.COM
6. The libcxx header situation has finally been tamed. One of the
things that makes this difficult is MKDEPS.COM only wants to
consider the first 64kb of a file, in order to go fast. But libcxx
likes to have #include lines buried after huge documentation.
7. An .UNVEIL variable has been introduced to GNU Make just in case
we ever wish to explicitly specify additional things that need to
be whitelisted which aren't strictly prerequisites. This works in
a manner similar to the recently introduced .EXTRA_PREREQS feature.
There's now a new build/bootstrap/make.com prebuilt binary available. It
should no longer be possible to write invalid Makefile code.
This change fixes bugs, adds more system calls, and improves
compatibility with OpenBSD. Going forward, versions on the web will be
pinned to a permanent version. There were many other changes over the
last week which also improved this new release.
Redbean Lua and JSON serialization now goes faster because we're now
inserting object entries into tree data structure rather than making
an array and sorting it at the end. For example, when serializing an
object with 10,000 entries this goes twice as fast. However it still
goes slower than saying EncodeJson(x, {sorted=false}).
- 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
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
- 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.
- 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
- Fix fork() on Windows when TLS and MAP_STACK exist
- Round upwards in setsockopt(SO_RCVTIMEO) on Windows
- Disable futexes on OpenBSD which seem extremely broken
- Implement a better kludge for monotonic time on Windows
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.
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 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.
- Document redbean's argon2 module
- Fix regressions in cthreads library
- Make testlib work better with threads
- Give the cthreads library lots of love
- Remove some of the stdio assembly code
- Implement getloadavg() across platforms
- Code size optimizations for errnos, etc.
- Only check for signals in main thread on Windows
- 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.
- Implement openpty()
- Add `--assimilate` flag to APE bootloader
- Restore Linux vDSO clock_gettime() support
- Use `$(APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF)` on more programs
