We're now able to pretty print a C++ backtrace upon crashing in pretty
much any runtime execution scenario. The default pledge sandbox policy
on Linux is now to return EPERM. If you call pledge and have debugging
functions linked (e.g. GetSymbolTable) then the symbol table shall get
loaded before any security policy is put in place. This change updates
build/bootstrap/fixupobj too and fixes some other sneaky build errors.
It's now possible to safely print C++ backtraces from signal handlers.
This symbol demangler doesn't need malloc, tls, or even static memory.
Additionally, this change makes it 2x faster and adds test cases. It's
almost as performant and accurate as the libcxxabi implementation now.
Cosmopolitan now supports 104 time zones. They're embedded inside any
binary that links the localtime() function. Doing so adds about 100kb
to the binary size. This change also gets time zones working properly
on Windows for the first time. It's not needed to have /etc/localtime
exist on Windows, since we can get this information from WIN32. We're
also now updated to the latest version of Paul Eggert's TZ library.
The feenableexcept() and fedisableexcept() APIs are now provided which
let you detect when NaNs appear the moment it happens from anywhere in
your program. Tests have also been added for the mission critical math
functions expf() and erff(), whose perfect operation has been assured.
See examples/trapping.c to see how to use this powerful functionality.
Commit bc6c183 introduced a bunch of discrepancies between what files
look like in the repo and what clang-format says they should look like.
However, there were already a few discrepancies prior to that. Most of
these discrepancies seemed to be unintentional, but a few of them were
load-bearing (e.g., a #include that violated header ordering needing
something to have been #defined by a 'later' #include.)
I opted to take what I hope is a relatively smooth-brained approach: I
reverted the .clang-format change, ran clang-format on the whole repo,
reapplied the .clang-format change, reran clang-format again, and then
reverted the commit that contained the first run. Thus the full effect
of this PR should only be to apply the changed formatting rules to the
repo, and from skimming the results, this seems to be the case.
My work can be checked by applying the short, manual commits, and then
rerunning the command listed in the autogenerated commits (those whose
messages I have prefixed auto:) and seeing if your results agree.
It might be that the other diffs should be fixed at some point but I'm
leaving that aside for now.
fd '\.c(c|pp)?$' --print0| xargs -0 clang-format -i
Previously, the atomic store looked like it was happening while the
struct's memory was still poisoned. I was unable to observe any issues
with this, but this change seems to make the code more obviously correct
(at the cost of a redundant atomic store to zeroed space in case the map
needed to be extended.)
Now that these functions are behind _COSMO_SOURCE there's no reason for
having the ugly underscore anymore. To use these functions, you need to
pass -mcosmo to cosmocc.
The WIN32 CreateProcess() function does not require an .exe or .com
suffix in order to spawn an executable. Now that we have Cosmo bash
we're no longer so dependent on the cmd.exe prompt.
Sometimes we need to interact with code that wasn't compiled using
`-fno-omit-frame-pointer`. For example, if a function pointer gets
passed and called by a foreign function, linked by cosmo_dlopen().
Function call tracing will now detect backtrace pointer corruption
and simply reduce the indentation level back to zero, as a result.
This change upgrades to GCC 12.3 and GNU binutils 2.42. The GNU linker
appears to have changed things so that only a single de-duplicated str
table is present in the binary, and it gets placed wherever the linker
wants, regardless of what the linker script says. To cope with that we
need to stop using .ident to embed licenses. As such, this change does
significant work to revamp how third party licenses are defined in the
codebase, using `.section .notice,"aR",@progbits`.
This new GCC 12.3 toolchain has support for GNU indirect functions. It
lets us support __target_clones__ for the first time. This is used for
optimizing the performance of libc string functions such as strlen and
friends so far on x86, by ensuring AVX systems favor a second codepath
that uses VEX encoding. It shaves some latency off certain operations.
It's a useful feature to have for scientific computing for the reasons
explained by the test/libcxx/openmp_test.cc example which compiles for
fifteen different microarchitectures. Thanks to the upgrades, it's now
also possible to use newer instruction sets, such as AVX512FP16, VNNI.
Cosmo now uses the %gs register on x86 by default for TLS. Doing it is
helpful for any program that links `cosmo_dlopen()`. Such programs had
to recompile their binaries at startup to change the TLS instructions.
That's not great, since it means every page in the executable needs to
be faulted. The work of rewriting TLS-related x86 opcodes, is moved to
fixupobj.com instead. This is great news for MacOS x86 users, since we
previously needed to morph the binary every time for that platform but
now that's no longer necessary. The only platforms where we need fixup
of TLS x86 opcodes at runtime are now Windows, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. On
Windows we morph TLS to point deeper into the TIB, based on a TlsAlloc
assignment, and on OpenBSD/NetBSD we morph %gs back into %fs since the
kernels do not allow us to specify a value for the %gs register.
OpenBSD users are now required to use APE Loader to run Cosmo binaries
and assimilation is no longer possible. OpenBSD kernel needs to change
to allow programs to specify a value for the %gs register, or it needs
to stop marking executable pages loaded by the kernel as mimmutable().
This release fixes __constructor__, .ctor, .init_array, and lastly the
.preinit_array so they behave the exact same way as glibc.
We no longer use hex constants to define math.h symbols like M_PI.

If you install qemu-user from apt then glibc links a lot of address
space bloat that causes pthread_create() to ENOMEM (a.k.a. EAGAIN).
Boosting the virtual memory quota from 512m to 2048m will hopefully
future proof the build for the future, as Linux distros get fatter.
Please note this only applies to MODE=aarch64 on x86_64 builds when
you're using QEMU from Debian/Ubuntu rather than installing the one
cosmo provides in third_party/qemu/qemu-aarch64.gz. This change may
also be useful to people who are using the host compiler toolchain.
Renaming gc() to _gc() was a mistake since the better thing to do is put
it behind the _COSMO_SOURCE macro. We need this change because I haven't
wanted to use my amazing garbage collector ever since we renamed it. You
now need to define _COSMO_SOURCE yourself when using amalgamation header
and cosmocc users need to pass the -mcosmo flag to get the gc() function
Some other issues relating to cancelation have been fixed along the way.
We're also now putting cosmocc in a folder named `.cosmocc` so it can be
more safely excluded by grep --exclude-dir=.cosmocc --exclude-dir=o etc.
* third_party: Add libcxxabi
Added libcxxabi from LLVM 17.0.6
The library implements the Itanium C++ exception handling ABI.
* third_party/libcxxabi: Enable __cxa_thread_atexit
Enable `__cxa_thread_atexit` from libcxxabi.
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl` is still implemented by the cosmo libc.
The original `__cxa_thread_atexit` has been removed.
* third_party/libcxx: Build with exceptions
Build libcxx with exceptions enabled.
- Removed `_LIBCPP_NO_EXCEPTIONS` from `__config`.
- Switched the exception implementation to `libcxxabi`. These two files
are taken from the same `libcxx` version as mentioned in `README.cosmo`.
- Removed `new_handler_fallback` in favor of `libcxxabi` implementation.
- Enable `-fexceptions` and `-frtti` for `libcxx`.
- Removed `THIRD_PARTY_LIBCXX` dependency from `libcxxabi` and
`libunwind`. These libraries do not use any runtime `libcxx` functions,
just headers.
* libc: Remove remaining redundant cxa functions
- `__cxa_pure_virtual` in `libcxxabi` is also a stub similar to the
existing one.
- `__cxa_guard_*` from `libcxxabi` is used instead of the ones from
Android.
Now there should be no more duplicate implementations.
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl`, `__cxa_atexit`, and related supporting
functions, are still left to other libraries as in `libcxxabi`.
`libcxxabi` is also now added to `cosmopolitan.a` to make up for the
removed functions.
Affected in-tree libraries (`third_party/double-conversion`) have been
updated.
If cosmo_dlopen() is linked on AMD64 then the runtime will switch to
using %gs for thread-local storage. This eliminates the need for the
imported symbol trampoline. It's now safer to pass function pointers
back and forth with imported libraries. Your program gets recompiled
at runtime to make it happen and the overhead is a few milliseconds.
* Reorder Launch arguments, pass aarch64 os
Third and fourth arguments are now identical between cosmo and Launch.
By passing sp as argument 4, we save a bit of register juggling.
Fourth argument (os) is now always passed by the loader on aarch64. It
is not yet processed by cosmo. Pushing this change separately, as the
cosmo side turns out to be somewhat more involved.
* cosmo2 receives os from loader
FreeBSD aarch64 now traps early rather than pretending to be Linux.
o/aarch64/examples/env.com still works on Linux and Xnu.
Somehow or another, I previously had missed `BUILD.mk` files.
In the process I found a few straggler cases where the modeline was
different from the file, including one very involved manual fix where a
file had been treated like it was ts=2 and ts=8 on separate occasions.
The commit history in the PR shows the gory details; the BUILD.mk was
automated, everything else was mostly manual.
The ape loader now passes the program executable name directly as a
register. `x2` is used on aarch64, `%rdx` on x86_64. This is passed
as the third argument to `cosmo()` (M1) or `Launch` (non-M1) and is
assigned to the global `__program_executable_name`.
`GetProgramExecutableName` now returns this global's value, setting
it if it is initially null. `InitProgramExecutableName` first tries
exotic, secure methods: `KERN_PROC_PATHNAME` on FreeBSD/NetBSD, and
`/proc` on Linux. If those produce a reasonable response (i.e., not
`"/usr/bin/ape"`, which happens with the loader before this change),
that is used. Otherwise, if `issetugid()`, the empty string is used.
Otherwise, the old argv/envp parsing code is run.
The value returned from the loader is always the full absolute path
of the binary to be executed, having passed through `realpath`. For
the non-M1 loader, this necessitated writing `RealPath`, which uses
`readlinkat` of `"/proc/self/fd/[progfd]"` on Linux, `F_GETPATH` on
Xnu, and the `__realpath` syscall on OpenBSD. On FreeBSD/NetBSD, it
punts to `GetProgramExecutableName`, which is secure on those OSes.
With the loader, all platforms now have a secure program executable
name. With no loader or an old loader, everything still works as it
did, but setuid/setgid is not supported if the insecure pathfinding
code would have been needed.
Fixes#991.
At least in neovim, `│vi:` is not recognized as a modeline because it
has no preceding whitespace. After fixing this, opening a file yields
an error because `net` is not an option. (`noet`, however, is.)
* Better refcounting
Cribbed from [Rust Arc][1] and the [Boost docs][2]:
"""
Increasing the reference counter can always be done with
memory_order_relaxed: New references to an object can only be formed
from an existing reference, and passing an existing reference from one
thread to another must already provide any required synchronization.
It is important to enforce any possible access to the object in one
thread (through an existing reference) to happen before deleting the
object in a different thread. This is achieved by a "release" operation
after dropping a reference (any access to the object through this
reference must obviously happened before), and an "acquire" operation
before deleting the object.
It would be possible to use memory_order_acq_rel for the fetch_sub
operation, but this results in unneeded "acquire" operations when the
reference counter does not yet reach zero and may impose a performance
penalty.

* Make ZiposHandle's pos atomic
Implements a somewhat stronger guarantee than POSIX specifies: reads and
seeks are atomic. They may be arbitrarily reordered between threads, but
each one happens all the way and leaves the fd in a consistent state.
This is achieved by "locking" pos in __zipos_read by storing SIZE_MAX to
pos during the operation, so only one can be in-flight at a time. Seeks,
on the other hand, just update pos in one go, and rerun if it changed in
the meantime.
I used `LIKELY` / `UNLIKELY` to pessimize the concurrent case; hopefully
that buys back some performance.
* Implement __zipos_dup
Makes ZiposHandle reference-counted by an `rc` field in a union with its
freelist `next` pointer. The functions `__zipos_free` and `__zipos_keep`
function as incref/decref for it. Adds `__zipos_postdup` to fix metadata
on file descriptors after dup-like operations, and adds zipos support to
`sys_dup_nt` + `sys_close_nt`.
* Remove noop __zipos_postdup
rc is never a zipos file because it is always a previously unused file
descriptor. fd is never a zipos file because that case has been handled
above by __zipos_fcntl.
