This change gets the pledge (formerly pledge.com) command back in tip
top shape for a 3.0.1 cosmos release. It now runs on all platforms, even
though it's mostly a no-op on ones that lack the kernel security stuff.
The binary footprint is now smaller, since it no longer needs to link
malloc. It's also now able to be built as a fat binary.
- We now serialize the file descriptor table when spawning / executing
processes on Windows. This means you can now inherit more stuff than
just standard i/o. It's needed by bash, which duplicates the console
to file descriptor #255. We also now do a better job serializing the
environment variables, so you're less likely to encounter E2BIG when
using your bash shell. We also no longer coerce environ to uppercase
- execve() on Windows now remotely controls its parent process to make
them spawn a replacement for itself. Then it'll be able to terminate
immediately once the spawn succeeds, without having to linger around
for the lifetime as a shell process for proxying the exit code. When
process worker thread running in the parent sees the child die, it's
given a handle to the new child, to replace it in the process table.
- execve() and posix_spawn() on Windows will now provide CreateProcess
an explicit handle list. This allows us to remove handle locks which
enables better fork/spawn concurrency, with seriously correct thread
safety. Other codebases like Go use the same technique. On the other
hand fork() still favors the conventional WIN32 inheritence approach
which can be a little bit messy, but is *controlled* by guaranteeing
perfectly clean slates at both the spawning and execution boundaries
- sigset_t is now 64 bits. Having it be 128 bits was a mistake because
there's no reason to use that and it's only supported by FreeBSD. By
using the system word size, signal mask manipulation on Windows goes
very fast. Furthermore @asyncsignalsafe funcs have been rewritten on
Windows to take advantage of signal masking, now that it's much more
pleasant to use.
- All the overlapped i/o code on Windows has been rewritten for pretty
good signal and cancelation safety. We're now able to ensure overlap
data structures are cleaned up so long as you don't longjmp() out of
out of a signal handler that interrupted an i/o operation. Latencies
are also improved thanks to the removal of lots of "busy wait" code.
Waits should be optimal for everything except poll(), which shall be
the last and final demon we slay in the win32 i/o horror show.
- getrusage() on Windows is now able to report RUSAGE_CHILDREN as well
as RUSAGE_SELF, thanks to aggregation in the process manager thread.

This change improves the dirstream library in a lot of respects,
especially for /zip/... files. Also turn off MAP_STACK on Aarch64
because Qemu seems to implement it differently than Linux and it's
probably responsible for a lot of mysterious crashes.

This change ports APE Loader to Linux AARCH64, so that Raspberry Pi
users can run programs like redbean, without the executable needing
to modify itself. Progress has also slipped into this change on the
issue of making progress better conforming to user expectations and
industry standards regarding which symbols we're allowed to declare
- compile.com now polyfills -march=native which gcc/clang removed
- Guarantee zero Windows code is linked into non-Windows binaries
- MODE=tinylinux binaries are now back to being as tiny as ~4kb
- Improve the runtime's stack allocation / alignment hack
- GitHub Actions now tests Linux modes for assurance
This change improves the way internal APIs are being hidden behind the
`COSMO` define. The cosmo.h header will take care of defining that, so
that a separate define statement isn't needed. This change also does a
lot more to define which APIs are standard, and which belong to Cosmo.
The new stack size is 256kb in order to compromise with llama.cpp's
aggressive use of stack memory, which can't be easily patched. This
change disables the dynamic alloca() and VLA warnings for now, plus
frame sizes for individual functions may be <=50% of the stack size
This only applies to code in the cosmo monorepo. Open source builds
should already be using an 8mb stack by default, like everyone else
We need to make sure no existing mappings exist between the
MAP_GROWSDOWN page and the guard page, since otherwise it's
not going to be able to grow down thus causing difficult to
troubleshoot failures.
It can now handle 240k SQLite write QPS at 3ms 99 percentile latency.
We're still working out the kinks since it's brand new. But we've got
this running in production already!
This change fixes#496 where ASAN spotted a race condition that could
happen in multithreaded programs, with more than OPEN_MAX descriptors
when using ZipOS or Windows NT, which require tracking open file info
and this change fixes that table so it never relocates, thus allowing
us to continue to enjoy the benefits of avoiding locks while reading.
This change tunes the default stack size for the outside world to 8mb
while at the same time, reducing Cosmopolitan's default stack size to
64kb. You can override the stack size using STATIC_STACK_SIZE(). Your
build scripts should point to o//ape/public/ape.lds
This change also fixes the definition of SOMAXCONN and removes AF_RDS
since it's not polyfilled and Python 3.11 complained.

This commit makes numerous refinements to cosmopolitan memory handling.
The default stack size has been reduced from 2mb to 128kb. A new macro
is now provided so you can easily reconfigure the stack size to be any
value you want. Work around the breaking change by adding to your main:
STATIC_STACK_SIZE(0x00200000); // 2mb stack
If you're not sure how much stack you need, then you can use:
STATIC_YOINK("stack_usage_logging");
After which you can `sort -nr o/$MODE/stack.log`. Based on the unit test
suite, nothing in the Cosmopolitan repository (except for Python) needs
a stack size greater than 30kb. There are also new macros for detecting
the size and address of the stack at runtime, e.g. GetStackAddr(). We
also now support sigaltstack() so if you want to see nice looking crash
reports whenever a stack overflow happens, you can put this in main():
ShowCrashReports();
Under `make MODE=dbg` and `make MODE=asan` the unit testing framework
will now automatically print backtraces of memory allocations when
things like memory leaks happen. Bugs are now fixed in ASAN global
variable overrun detection. The memtrack and asan runtimes also handle
edge cases now. The new tools helped to identify a few memory leaks,
which are fixed by this change.
This change should fix an issue reported in #288 with ARG_MAX limits.
Fixing this doubled the performance of MKDEPS.COM and AR.COM yet again.

This change enables Address Sanitizer systemically w/ `make MODE=dbg`.
Our version of Rust's `unsafe` keyword is named `noasan` which is used
for two functions that do aligned memory chunking, like `strcpy.c` and
we need to fix the tiny DEFLATE code, but that's it everything else is
fabulous you can have all the fischer price security blankets you need
Best of all is we're now able to use the ASAN data in Blinkenlights to
colorize the memory dumps. See the screenshot below of a test program:
https://justine.lol/blinkenlights/asan.png
Which is operating on float arrays stored on the stack, with red areas
indicating poisoned memory, and the green areas indicate valid memory.
For the first time ever, all tests in this codebase now pass, when
run automatically on macos, freebsd, openbsd, rhel5, rhel7, alpine
and windows via the network using the runit and runitd build tools

This is wonderful. I never could have dreamed it would be possible
to get it working so well on so many platforms with tiny binaries.
Fixes#31Fixes#25Fixes#14
This change includes many bug fixes, for the NT polyfills, strings,
memory, boot, and math libraries which were discovered by adding more
tools for recreational programming, such as PC emulation. Lemon has also
been vendored because it works so well at parsing languages.
- 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
I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
