This change includes a fix to Fetch() where an out of bounds memory read
could happen, when the reverse proxied endpoint omits the content-length
header. This caused a bunch of NUL chars to appear on TurfWar's /statusz
since it wouldn't actually overrun the buffer, and if it did it would've
been caught by MODE=asan builds.

This change addresses various open source compatibility issues, so that
we pass 313/411 of the tests in https://github.com/jart/libc-test where
earlier today we were passing about 30/411 of them, due to header toil.
Please note that Glibc only passes 341/411 so 313 today is pretty good!
- Make the conformance of libc/isystem/ headers nearly perfect
- Import more of the remaining math library routines from Musl
- Fix inconsistencies with type signatures of calls like umask
- Write tests for getpriority/setpriority which work great now
- conform to `struct sockaddr *` on remaining socket functions
- Import a bunch of uninteresting stdlib functions e.g. rand48
- Introduce readdir_r, scandir, pthread_kill, sigsetjmp, etc..
Follow the instructions in our `tool/scripts/cosmocc` toolchain to run
these tests yourself. You use `make CC=cosmocc` on the test repository
This change upgrades to the latest Chromium Zlib, fixes bugs in redbean,
and introduces better support for reverse proxies like Cloudflare. This
change improves the security of redbean and it's recommended that users
upgrade to the release that'll follow. This change also updates the docs
to clarify how to use the security tools redbean provides e.g. pledge(),
unveil(), and the MODE=asan builds which improve memory safety.
This makes breaking changes to add underscores to many non-standard
function names provided by the c library. MODE=tiny is now tinier and
we now use smaller locks that are better for tiny apps in this mode.
Some headers have been renamed to be in the same folder as the build
package, so it'll be easier to know which build dependency is needed.
Certain old misguided interfaces have been removed. Intel intrinsics
headers are now listed in libc/isystem (but not in the amalgamation)
to help further improve open source compatibility. Header complexity
has also been reduced. Lastly, more shell scripts are now available.
The organization of the source files is now much more rational.
Old experiments that didn't work out are now deleted. Naming of
things like files is now more intuitive.
It turned out that specifying all SRCS and INCS as dependencies on the
pattern rules for all headers, caused `make` memory usage to skyrocket
from 40mb ot 160mb. This change also reduces the build graph another 4%.
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.
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.
- 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.
Doing this improves message latency and throughput, since we're
consolidating the 504 bytes of static memory which has the most
churn into a single place.
