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.
This change fixes#496 where ASAN spotted a race condition that could
happen in multithreaded programs, with more than OPEN_MAX descriptors
when using ZipOS or Windows NT, which require tracking open file info
and this change fixes that table so it never relocates, thus allowing
us to continue to enjoy the benefits of avoiding locks while reading.
pthread_mutex_lock() now uses a better algorithm which goes much faster
in multithreaded environments that have lock contention. This comes at
the cost of adding some fixed-cost overhead to mutex invocations. That
doesn't matter for Cosmopolitan because our core libraries all encode
locking operations as NOP instructions when in single-threaded mode.
Overhead only applies starting the moment you first call clone().
- We now kill the program on violations like OpenBSD
- We now print a message explaining which promise is needed
- This change also fixes a linkage bug with thread local storage
- Your sigaction() handlers should now be more thread safe
A new `__pledge_mode` global has been introduced to make pledge() more
customizable on Linux. For example:
__attribute__((__constructor__)) static void init(void) {
__pledge_mode = SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO | EPERM;
}
Can be used to restore our old permissive pledge() behavior.
Calls to lock/unlock functions are now NOPs by default. The first time
clone() is called, they get turned into CALL instructions. Doing this
caused funcctions like fputc() to shrink from 85 bytes to 45+4 bytes.
Since the ANSI solution of `(__threaded && lock())` inlines os much
superfluous binary content into functions all over the place.
- Document redbean's argon2 module
- Fix regressions in cthreads library
- Make testlib work better with threads
- Give the cthreads library lots of love
- Remove some of the stdio assembly code
- Implement getloadavg() across platforms
- Code size optimizations for errnos, etc.
- Only check for signals in main thread on Windows
- Make errnos for dup2 / dup3 consistent with posix
This change also fixes a bug in the argon2 module, where the NUL
terminator was being included in the hash encoded ascii string. This
shouldn't require any database migrations to folks who found this module
and productionized it, since the argon2 library treats it as a c string.
The "no modify self" variant of Actually Portable Executable is now
supported on all platforms. If you use `$(APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF)` then
ld.bfd will embed a 4096 byte ELF binary and a 4096 byte Macho file
which are installed on the fly to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}, which enables us
launch the executable, without needing to copy the whole executable
To prevent it from copying a tiny executable to your temp directory
you need to install the `ape` command (renamed from ape-loader), to
a system path. For example:
# FreeBSD / NetBSD / OpenBSD
make -j8 o//ape/ape
cp o//ape/ape /usr/bin/ape
# Mac OS
# make -j8 o//ape/ape.macho
curl https://justine.lol/ape.macho >/usr/bin/ape
chmod +x /usr/bin/ape
On Linux you can get even more performance with the new binfmt_misc
support which makes launching non-modifying APE binaries as fast as
launching ELF executables. Running the following command:
# Linux
ape/apeinstall.sh
Will copy APE loader to /usr/bin/ape and register with binfmt_misc
Lastly, this change also fixes a really interesting race condition
with OpenBSD thread joining.
