and plenty of unit tests with bug fixes.
This change fixes a bug in posix_spawn() with null envp arg. strace
logging now uses atomic writes for scatter functions. Breaking change
renaming GetCpuCount() to _getcpucount(). TurfWar is now updated to use
the new token bucket algorithm. WIN32 affinity masks now inherit across
fork() and execve().
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
- fix rare thread exit race condition on openbsd
- pthread_getattr_np() now supplies detached status
- child threads may now pthread_join() the main thread
- introduce sigandset(), sigorset(), and sigisemptyset()
- introduce pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop()
ParseHttpMessage() now does a better job avoiding malloc() calls and
headers commonly sent by CloudFlare can now be consulted in constant
time using our hard-coded perfect hash table. This increases /claim
performance from 321k to 337k qps which is 5% faster.
- Shutdown process now has optimal cancellation latency
- Fairer techniques for shedding connections under load
- We no longer need to call poll() which is now removed
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 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.
- Fix preadv() and pwritev() for old distros
- Introduce _npassert() and _unassert() macros
- Prove that file locks work properly on Windows
- Support fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) on more systems
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.
Landlock Make will no longer sandbox prerequisites that end with a
trailing slash. This means you can use use directory prerequisites
for detecting deleted files when using using globbing, without the
effect of unveiling the entire directory. When you do want make to
unveil directories, you can omit the trailing slash.
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%.
- 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
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.
