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`
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.
This change upgrades to the latest portcosmo gcc patch
6728fe1a25185560603ca312a8d4352af2a4e515 which lets us avoid needing to
define __tmpcosmo_FOO constants. We're now using an appropriate binutils
version for GCC 11. The older binutils sometimes wasn't able to print
backtraces, due to not being able to find a .debug_ranges section.
This is breaking change for /opt/cosmos libraries :'( due to this weird
"error: need linked-to section for --gc-sections" that pops up.
Please run `make clean` in the monorepo before rebuilding.
- 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 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.
- 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
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.
- 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
