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.
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.
These releases are really exciting since they contained the patches we
worked to get upstreamed. It means that their /bin/sh interpreters all
work fine with Actually Portable Executable now.
This change switches most of the core locks to be re-entrant, in order
to reduce the chance of deadlocking code that does, clever things with
asynchronous signal handlers. This change implements it it in pthreads
so we're one step closer to having a standardized threading primitives
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.
