- Now using 10x better GCD semaphores
- We now generate Linux-like thread ids
- We now use fast system clock / sleep libraries
- The APE M1 loader now generates Linux-like stacks
This change progresses our AARCH64 support:
- The AARCH64 build and tests are now passing
- Add 128-bit floating-point support to printf()
- Fix clone() so it initializes cosmo's x28 TLS register
- Fix TLS memory layout issue with aarch64 _Alignas vars
- Revamp microbenchmarking tools so they work on aarch64
- Make some subtle improvements to aarch64 crash reporting
- Make kisdangerous() memory checks more accurate on aarch64
- Remove sys_open() since it's not available on Linux AARCH64
This change makes general improvements to Cosmo and Redbean:
- Introduce GetHostIsa() function in Redbean
- You can now feature check using pledge(0, 0)
- You can now feature check using unveil("",0)
- Refactor some more x86-specific asm comments
- Refactor and write docs for some libm functions
- Make the mmap() API behave more similar to Linux
- Fix WIFSIGNALED() which wrongly returned true for zero
- Rename some obscure cosmo keywords from noFOO to dontFOO
There's a new program named ape/ape-m1.c which will be used to build an
embeddable binary that can load ape and elf executables. The support is
mostly working so far, but still chasing down ABI issues.
- Perform some housekeeping on scalar math function code
- Import ARM's Optimized Routines for SIMD string processing
- Upgrade to latest Chromium zlib and enable more SIMD optimizations
- Introduce epoll_pwait()
- Rewrite -ftrapv and ffs() libraries in C code
- Use more FreeBSD code in math function library
- Get significantly more tests passing on qemu-aarch64
- Fix many Musl long double functions that were broken on AARCH64
- Utilities like pledge.com now build
- kprintf() will no longer balk at 48-bit addresses
- There's a new aarch64-dbg build mode that should work
- gc() and defer() are mostly pacified; avoid using them on aarch64
- THIRD_PART_STB now has Arm Neon intrinsics for fast image handling
It's now possible to run commands like:
make -j8 m=aarch64 o/aarch64/test/libc/str
Which will cross-compile and run the test suites in a qemu-aarch64
binary that's vendored in the third_party/qemu/ folder within your
x86_64 build environment.
The ShowCrashReports() feature for aarch64 should work even better than
the x86 crash reports. Thanks to the benefit of hindsight these reports
should be rock solid reliable and beautiful to read.
This change also improves the syscall polyfills for aarch64. Some of the
sys_foo() functions have been removed, usually because they're legacy or
downright footguns not worth building.
The rpath pledge as currently implemented in cosmopolitan does not
allow for usage of the old getdents syscall (0x4e), which is different
from the newer getdents syscall (0xd9) solely in that it does not
support 64-bit filesystems.
This means that, for example, old statically linked binaries cannot
use `readdir` and other such functions which use this syscall instead
of the more modern one, even though there is no threat in allowing
that syscall alongside the more modern one (except that the binary may
have issues with 64-bit filesystems, but that's a separate problem).
This patch fixes this.
- clock_nanosleep() is now much faster on OpenBSD and NetBSD
- Thread joining is now much faster on NetBSD
- FreeBSD timestamps are now more accurate
- Thread spawning now goes faster on XNU
- Clean up the clone() code
- Clean up sigaction() code
- Add a port scanner example
- Introduce a ParseCidr() API
- Clean up our futex abstraction code
- Fix a harmless integer overflow in ParseIp()
- Use kernel semaphores on NetBSD to make threads much faster
- Exhaustively document cancellation points
- Rename SIGCANCEL to SIGTHR just like BSDs
- Further improve POSIX thread cancellations
- Ensure asynchronous cancellations work correctly
- Elevate the quality of getrandom() and getentropy()
- Make futexes cancel correctly on OpenBSD 6.x and 7.x
- Add reboot.com and shutdown.com to examples directory
- Remove underscore prefix from awesome timespec_*() APIs
- Create assertions that help verify our cancellation points
- Remove bad timespec APIs (cmp generalizes eq/ne/gt/gte/lt/lte)
This change makes some miracle modifications to the System Five system
call support, which lets us have safe, correct, and atomic handling of
thread cancellations. It all turned out to be cheaper than anticipated
because it wasn't necessary to modify the system call veneers. We were
able to encode the cancellability of each system call into the magnums
found in libc/sysv/syscalls.sh. Since cancellations are so waq, we are
also supporting a lovely Musl Libc mask feature for raising ECANCELED.
All tests pass now under WSL2. They should pass under WSL1 too, but only
WSL2 is integrated into the test fleet right now. This change also fills
in some gaps in the error numbers.

If threads are being used, then fork() will now acquire and release and
runtime locks so that fork() may be safely used from threads. This also
makes vfork() thread safe, because pthread mutexes will do nothing when
the process is a child of vfork(). More torture tests have been written
to confirm this all works like a charm. Additionally:
- Invent hexpcpy() api
- Rename nsync_malloc_() to kmalloc()
- Complete posix named semaphore implementation
- Make pthread_create() asynchronous signal safe
- Add rm, rmdir, and touch to command interpreter builtins
- Invent sigisprecious() and modify sigset functions to use it

forked child processes, within apps which have threads waiting on locks

- SQLite will now use fdatasync() on non-Apple platforms
- Fix Ctrl-C handler on Windows to not crash with TLS
- Signals now work in multithreaded apps on Windows
- fcntl() will now accurately report EINVAL errors
- fcntl() now has excellent --strace logging
- Token bucket replenish now go 100x faster
- *NSYNC cancellations now work on Windows
- Support closefrom() on NetBSD
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
You can now do things like implement mutexes using futexes in your
redbean lua code. This provides the fastest possible inter-process
communication for your production systems when SQLite alone as ipc
or things like pipes aren't sufficient.
