This change reduces the memory requirements of your APE Loader by 10x,
in terms of virtual memory size, thanks to the help of alloca(). We're
also now creating argument blocks with the same layout across systems.
This change improves the dirstream library in a lot of respects,
especially for /zip/... files. Also turn off MAP_STACK on Aarch64
because Qemu seems to implement it differently than Linux and it's
probably responsible for a lot of mysterious crashes.
- Remove PAGESIZE constant
- Fix realloc() documentation
- Fix ttyname_r() error reporting
- Make forking more reliable on Windows
- Make execvp() a few microseconds faster
- Make system() a few microseconds faster
- Tighten up the socket-related magic numbers
- Loosen restrictions on mmap() offset alignment
- Improve GetProgramExecutableName() with getenv("_")
- Use mkstemp() as basis for mktemp(), tmpfile(), tmpfd()
- Fix flakes in pthread_cancel_test, unix_test, fork_test
- Fix recently introduced futex stack overflow regression
- Let sockets be passed as stdio to subprocesses on Windows
- Improve security of bind() on Windows w/ SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE
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 *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.
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.
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.
- 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
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.
