- Improve security of bind() on Windows w/ SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE
This change addresses everything from stack smashing to %SYSTEMROOT%
breaking socket(). Issues relating to compile.com not reporting text
printed to stderr has been resolved for Windows builds.
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
This change also incorporates more bug fixes and improvements to a wide
variety of small things. For example this fixes#860 so Windows console
doesn't get corrupted after exit. An system stack memory map issue with
aarch64 has been fixed. We no longer use O_NONBLOCK on AF_UNIX sockets.
Crash reports on Arm64 will now demangle C++ symbols, even when c++filt
isn't available. Most importantly the Apple M1 version of APE Loader is
brought up to date by this change. A prebuilt unsigned binary for it is
being included in build/bootstrap/. One more thing: retrieving the term
dimensions under --strace was causing the stack to become corrupted and
now that's been solved too. PSS: We're now including an ELF PT_NOTE for
APE in the binaries we build, that has the APE Loader version.
- The functions that return a sockaddr now do so the same way the Linux
Kernel does across platforms, e.g. getpeername(), accept4()
- Socket system calls on Windows will now only check for interrupts when
a blocking operation needs to be performed.
- Write tests for recvfrom() system call
This change introduces new tests for `O_NONBLOCK` and `SOCK_NONBLOCK` to
confirm that non-blocking i/o is now working on all supported platforms,
including Windows. For example, you can now say on Windows, MacOS, etc.:
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_NONBLOCK, IPPROTO_TCP);
To create a non-blocking IPv4 TCP socket. Or you can enable non-blocking
i/o on an existing socket / pipe / etc. file descriptor by calling fcntl
fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, fcntl(fd, F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK);
This functionality is polyfilled on older Linux kernels too, e.g. RHEL5.
Now that fcntl() support is much better the FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX polyfills
for ioctl() have been removed since they're ugly non-POSIX diameond APIs
This change fixes a weakness in kprintf() that was causing Windows trace
tools to frequently crash.
- This commit mints a new release of APE Loader v1.2 which supports
loading ELF programs with a non-contiguous virtual address layout
even though we've never been able to take advantage of it, due to
how `objcopy -SO binary` fills any holes left by PT_LOAD. This'll
change soon, since we'll have a new way of creating APE binaries.
- The undiamonding trick with our ioctl() implementation is removed
since POSIX has been killing ioctl() for years and they've done a
much better job. One problem it resolves, is that ioctl(FIONREAD)
wasn't working earlier and that caused issues when building Emacs
- Fix unused local variable errors
- Remove yoinks from sigaction() header
- Add nox87 and aarch64 to github actions
- Fix cosmocc -fportcosmo in linking mode
- It's now possible to build `make m=llvm o/llvm/libc`
- 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
- Fix handling of precision in hex float formatting
- Enhance the cocmd interpreter for system() and popen()
- Manually ran the Lua unit tests, which are now passing
- Let stdio i/o operations happen when file is in error state
- We're now saving and restoring xmm in ftrace out of paranoia
It turned out that Landlock Make hasn't been applying sandboxing for a
while, due to a mistyped if statement for `$(USE_SYSTEM_TOOLCHAIN)` it
should have had the opposite meaning. Regressions in the build configs
have been fixed. The rmrf() function works better now. The rm.com tool
works according to POSIX with the exception of supporting prompts.
The *NSYNC linked list API is good enough that it deserves to be part of
the C libray, so this change writes an improved version of it which uses
that offsetof() trick from the Linux Kernel. We vendor all of the *NSYNC
tests in third_party which helped confirm the needed refactoring is safe
This change also deletes more old code that didn't pan out. My goal here
is to work towards a vision where the Cosmopolitan core libraries become
less experimental and more focused on curation. This better reflects the
current level of quality we've managed to achieve.
After going through the MODE=dbg and MODE=zero build modes, a bunch of
little issues were identified, which have been addressed. Fixing those
issues created even more troubles for the project, because it improved
our ability to detect latent problems which are getting fixed so fast.
This change introduces support for Linux-style uc_context manipulation
that's fast and works well on all supported OSes and architectures. It
also integrates with the Cosmpolitan runtime which can show backtraces
comprised of multiple stacks and fibers. See the test and example code
for further details. This will be used by Mold once it's been vendored
This change (1) upgrades to OpenBSD's newer kernel ABIs, and (2)
modifies APE to have a read-only data segment. Doing this required
creating APE Loader v1.1, which is backwards and forwards compatible
with the previous version.
If you've run the following commands in the past to install your APE
Loader systemwide, then you need to run them again. Ad-hoc installations
shouldn't be impacted. It's also recommended that APE binaries be remade
after upgrading, since they embed old versions of the APE Loader.
ape/apeuninstall.sh
ape/apeinstall.sh
This change does more than just fix OpenBSD. The new loader is smarter
and more reliable. We're now able create much tinier ELF and Mach-O data
structures than we could before. Both APE Loader and execvpe() will now
normalize ambiguous argv[0] resolution the same way as the UNIX shell.
Badness with TLS linkage has been solved.
Fixes#826
The recent change to crt.S that aggressively aligns the system-provided
stack has been rolled back on non-Linux until we can find a better way,
since it can cause a segfault early in execution on several platforms.
This change fixes a regression in tcgetattr() and tcsetattr() on OpenBSD
and NetBSD caused by 4778cd4d27.
This change has been tested across the runitd test fleet which is green.
The intent with pledge("anet") has been to prevent outbound connections.
However we were only doing that for TCP sockets, and outbound UDP could
still get through, by using socket() plus sendto(). This change fixed
that by preventing UDP sockets from being created.
Credit goes to chc4 on Hacker News for finding this.
- Found some bugs in LLVM compiler-rt library
- The useless LIBC_STUBS package is now deleted
- Improve the overflow checking story even further
- Get chibicc tests working in MODE=dbg mode again
- The libc/isystem/ headers now have correctly named guards
- More timspec_*() and timeval_*() APIs have been introduced.
- The copyfd() function is now simplified thanks to POSIX rules.
- More Cosmo-specific APIs have been moved behind the COSMO define.
- The setitimer() polyfill for Windows NT is now much higher quality.
- Fixed build error for MODE=aarch64 due to -mstringop-strategy=loop.
- This change introduces `make MODE=nox87 toolchain` which makes it
possible to build programs using your cosmocc toolchain that don't
have legacy fpu instructions. This is useful, for example, if you
want to have a ~22kb tinier blink virtual machine.
This change fixes an issue with the tcflow() magic numbers that was
causing bash to freeze up on Linux. While auditing termios polyfills,
several other issues were identified with XNU/BSD compatibility.
Out of an abundance of caution this change undefines as much surface
area from libc/calls/struct/termios.h as possible, so that autoconf
scripts are less likely to detect non-POSIX teletypewriter APIs that
haven't been polyfilled by Cosmopolitan.
This is a *breaking change* for your static archives in /opt/cosmos if
you use the cosmocc toolchain. That's because this change disables the
ioctl() undiamonding trick for code outside the monorepo, specifically
because it'll lead to brittle ABI breakages like this. If you're using
the cosmocc toolchain, you'll need to rebuild libraries like ncurses,
readline, etc. Yes diamonds cause bloat. To work around that, consider
using tcgetwinsize() instead of ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) since it'll help you
avoid pulling every single ioctl-related polyfill into the linkage.
The cosmocc script was specifying -DNDEBUG for some reason. It's fixed.
This change takes an entirely new approach to the incremental linking of
pkzip executables. The assets created by zipobj.com are now treated like
debug data. After a .com.dbg is compiled, fixupobj.com should be run, so
it can apply fixups to the offsets and move the zip directory to the end
of the file. Since debug data doesn't get objcopy'd, a new tool has been
introduced called zipcopy.com which should be run after objcopy whenever
a .com file is created. This is all automated by the `cosmocc` toolchain
which is rapidly becoming the new recommended approach.
This change also introduces the new C23 checked arithmetic macros.
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.
This change integrates e58abc1110b335a3341e8ad5821ad8e3880d9bb2 from
https://github.com/ahgamut/musl-cross-make/ which fixes the issues we
were having with our C language extension for symbolic constants. This
change also performs some code cleanup and bug fixes to getaddrinfo().
It's now possible to compile projects like ncurses, readline and python
without needing to patch anything upstream, except maybe a line or two.
Pretty soon it should be possible to build a Linux distro on Cosmo.
In order to improve our chances of success building other open source
projects we shouldn't define APIs that'll lead any ./configure script
astray. For example:
- brk() and sbrk() can break mac/windows support
- syscall() is a superb way to break portability
- arch_prctl() is the greatest of all horror shows
- Work towards improving non-optimized build support
- Introduce MODE=zero which is -O0 without ASAN/UBSAN
- Use system GCC when ~/.cosmo.mk has USE_SYSTEM_TOOLCHAIN=1
- Have package.com check .privileged code doesn't call non-privileged
Garbage collection will now happen on arm64 when a function returns,
rather than kicking the can down the road to when the process exits.
This change also does some code cleanup and incorporates suggestions
- Get mprotect_test working on aarch64
- Get completion working on python.com repl again
- Improve quality of printvideo.com and printimage.com
- Fix bug in openpty() so examples/script.c works again
This change greatly reduces the number of modules that need to be
compiled. The only issue right now is that sometimes when viewing
symbol table entries, the aliased symbol is chosen.
This change implements a new approach to function call logging, that's
based on the GCC flag: -fpatchable-function-entry. Read the commentary
in build/config.mk to learn how it works.
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
* Add `anet` pledge for `inet` without connect
This is useful for configurations where it's desirable to start redbean
under these restrictions, but not to allow `connect` socket calls.
* Update message on protected/unpledged syscalls for clarity
* Update redbean to add reporting for unpledged sigaction
Previously it would abort without indicating what signal it failed to
install when sigaction is not pledged (although it fails all of them).
* Move GetHostIps before processing command line options
This allows using unix.pledge as part of the options without affecting
retrieving host IP addresses (which requires `connect`). It may still
fail under external `pledge` command as expected; in this case IPs
would need to be passed manually.
* Update tests for pledge anet promise
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.
- Fix UX issues with llama.com
- Do housekeeping on libm code
- Add more vectorization to GGML
- Get GGJT quantizer programs working well
- Have the quantizer keep the output layer as f16c
- Prefetching improves performance 15% if you use fewer threads
- 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.
Right now, cosmopolitan uses Linux Landlock ABI version 2 on Linux,
meaning that the polyfill for unveil() cannot restrict operations such
as truncate() (a limitation of Landlock's ABI from then). This means
that to restrict truncation operations Cosmopolitan instead has to ban
the syscall through a SECCOMP BPF filter, meaning that completely
legitimate truncate() calls are blocked
However, the newest version of the Landlock ABI (version 3) introduced
in Linux 6.2, released in February 2023, implements support for controlling truncation
operations. As such, the previous SECCOMP BPF truncate() filtering is
no longer needed when the new ABI is available
This patch implements unveil truncate support for Linux Landlock ABI
version 3
The C standard states that, in the context of an x conversion
specifier given to scanf:
> Matches an optionally signed hexadecimal integer, whose format is
> the same as expected for the subject sequence of the strtoul
> function with the value 16 for the base argument.
- C standard, 7.23.6.2.11. The fscanf function
Cosmopolitan fails to do this, as 0 should be parsed as a 0 by such an
invocation of strtoul. Instead, cosmopolitan errors out as though such
input is invalid, which is wrong.
This means that a program such as this:
#include <stdio.h>
#undef NDEBUG
#include <assert.h>
int main()
{
int v = 0;
assert(sscanf("0", "%x", &v) == 1);
}
will not run correctly on cosmpolitan, instead failing the assertion.
This patch fixes this, along with the associated GitHub issue,
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/778
The C standard, when defining field width and precision, never gives
any limit on the values used for them (except, I believe, that they
fit within an int). In other words, if the user gives a field width of
32145 and a precision of 9218, the implementation has to handle these
values correctly. However, when such kinds of high numbers are used
with integer conversions, cosmopolitan is limited by an internal
buffer size of 144, which means precisions and field widths have to
fit within this, which violates the standard.
This means that for example, the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char buf2[512] = {};
int i = snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "%.9999u", 10);
printf("%d %zu\n", i, strlen(buf2));
}
would, instead of printing "9999 511" (the correct output), instead
print "144 144" under cosmopolitan.
This patch fixes this.
The C standard states:
> The fprintf function returns the number of characters transmitted,
> or a negative value if an output or encoding error occurred or if
> the implementation does not support a specified width length
> modifier.
- C Standard, 7.23.6.1.15. The fprintf function
However, cosmopolitan fails to return a negative value in the case of
an output error, meaning that a program such as:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
FILE *fp = fopen("/dev/full", "w");
setbuf(fp, NULL);
printf("fprintf: %d\n", fprintf(fp, "test\n"));
printf("fflush: %d\n", fflush(fp));
}
will, under cosmopolitan, print that no error occured in either of the
calls to fprintf and fflush.
This patch fixes this, along with the associated GitHub issue,
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/784
_PFLINK is supposed to automatically pull in required functions for
specific conversion specifiers. However, it fails to do so for the F,
G and E conversion specifiers.
This means that, for example, the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("%F %G %E\n", .0, .0, .0);
}
fails to run correctly, printing "? ? ?" instead of
"0.000000 0 0.000000E+00".
This patch fixes this.
The C standard states:
> Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the functions described in this
> subclause order two wide characters the same way as two integers of
> the underlying integer type designated by wchar_t.
>
> [...]
>
> The wcscmp function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
> less than zero, accordingly as the wide string pointed to by s1 is
> greater than, equal to, or less than the wide string pointed to by
> s2.
>
> [...]
>
> The wcsncmp function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
> less than zero, accordingly as the possibly null-terminated array
> pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the
> possibly null-terminated array pointed to by s2.
- C Standard, 7.31.4.4. Wide string comparison functions
Cosmopolitan fails to obey this in cases where the difference between
two wide characters is larger than WCHAR_MAX.
This means that, for example, the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <limits.h>
int main()
{
wchar_t str1[] = { WCHAR_MIN, L'\0' };
wchar_t str2[] = { WCHAR_MAX, L'\0' };
printf("%d\n", wcscmp(str1, str2));
printf("%d\n", wcsncmp(str1, str2, 2));
}
will print `1` twice, instead of the negative numbers mandated by the
standard (as WCHAR_MIN is less than WCHAR_MAX)
This patch fixes this, along with the associated Github issue,
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/783
The C standard states that, within the context of a printf-family
function, when specifying the precision of a conversion specification:
> A negative precision argument is taken as if the precision were
> omitted.
- Quoth the C Standard, 7.23.6.1. The fprintf function
Cosmopolitan instead treated negative precision arguments as
though they had a value of 0, which was non-conforming. This
change fixes that. Another issue we found relates to:
> For o conversion, it increases the precision, if and only if
> necessary, to force the first digit of the result to be a zero (if
> the value and precision are both 0, a single 0 is printed).
- Quoth the C standard, 7.23.6.1.6. The fprintf function
When printing numbers in their alternative form, with a precision and
with a conversion specifier of o (octal), Cosmopolitan wasn't following
the standard in two ways:
1. When printing a value with a precision that results in 0-padding,
cosmopolitan would still add an extra 0 even though this should be
done "if and only if necessary"
2. When printing a value of 0 with a precision of 0, nothing is
printed, even though the standard specifically states that a single
0 is printed in this case
This change fixes those issues too. Furthermore, regression tests have
been introduced to ensure Cosmopolitan continues to be conformant
going forward.
Fixes#774Fixes#782Fixes#789
Cosmopolitan now conforms to the C Standard 7.8.1 specification
of the PRI and SCN macros, because this change fixes a bug where
the FAST16 ones were incorrectly using the %hd specifier.
The standard states that, when the # flag is used:
> The result is converted to an "alternative form". [...] For x (or X)
conversion, a nonzero result has 0x (or 0X) prefixed to it.
- C standard, 7.23.6.1. The fprintf function
cosmopolitan fails to use the correct alternative form (0X) when the X
conversion specifier is used, instead using 0x, which is not
capitalized.
This patch fixes this, along with the several tests that test for the
wrong behavior.
The C standard states, for conversions using the d, i, b, B, o, u, x or X conversion specifiers:
> The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to appear; if
> the value being converted can be represented in fewer digits, it is
> expanded with leading zeros.
- C standard, 7.23.6.1. The fprintf function
However, cosmopolitan currently suppresses the addition of leading
zeros when the minus flag is set. This is not reflected by anything
within the C standard, meaning that behavior is incorrect.
This patch fixes this.
* Implement S conversion specifier for printf-related functions
POSIX specifies that a conversion specifier of S must be interpreted
the same way as %ls. This patch implements this.
* clang-format
