It turned out that specifying all SRCS and INCS as dependencies on the
pattern rules for all headers, caused `make` memory usage to skyrocket
from 40mb ot 160mb. This change also reduces the build graph another 4%.
This change introduces the nointernet() function which may be called to
prevent a process and its descendants from communicating with publicly
routable Internet addresses. GNU Make has been modified to always call
this function. In the future Landlock Make will have a way to whitelist
subnets to override this behavior, or disable it entirely. Support is
available for Linux only. Our firewall does not require root access.
Calling nointernet() will return control to the caller inside a new
process that has a SECCOMP BPF filter installed, which traps network
related system calls. Your original process then becomes a permanent
ptrace() supervisor that monitors all processes and threads descending
from the returned child. Whenever a networking system call happens the
kernel will stop the process and wakes up the monitor, which then peeks
into the child memory to read the sockaddr_in to determine if it's ok.
The downside to doing this is that there can be only one supervisor at a
time using ptrace() on a process. So this firewall won't be enabled if
you run make under strace or inside gdb. It also makes testing tricky.
The earlier iterations did too much guesswork when it came to things
like stderr logging and syscall origin verification. This change will
make things more conformant to existing practices. The __pledge_mode
extension now can be configured in a better way.
There's also a new `-q` flag added to pledge.com, e.g.
o//tool/build/pledge.com -qv. ls
Is a good way to disable warnings about `tty` access attempts.
- 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.
The whole repository is now buildable with GNU Make Landlock sandboxing.
This proves that no Makefile targets exist which touch files other than
their declared prerequisites. In order to do this, we had to:
1. Stop code morphing GCC output in package.com and instead run a
newly introduced FIXUPOBJ.COM command after GCC invocations.
2. Disable all the crumby Python unit tests that do things like create
files in the current directory, or rename() files between folders.
This ended up being a lot of tests, but most of them are still ok.
3. Introduce an .UNSANDBOXED variable to GNU Make to disable Landlock.
We currently only do this for things like `make tags`.
4. This change deletes some GNU Make code that was preventing the
execve() optimization from working. This means it should no longer
be necessary in most cases for command invocations to be indirected
through the cocmd interpreter.
5. Missing dependencies had to be declared in certain places, in cases
where they couldn't be automatically determined by MKDEPS.COM
6. The libcxx header situation has finally been tamed. One of the
things that makes this difficult is MKDEPS.COM only wants to
consider the first 64kb of a file, in order to go fast. But libcxx
likes to have #include lines buried after huge documentation.
7. An .UNVEIL variable has been introduced to GNU Make just in case
we ever wish to explicitly specify additional things that need to
be whitelisted which aren't strictly prerequisites. This works in
a manner similar to the recently introduced .EXTRA_PREREQS feature.
There's now a new build/bootstrap/make.com prebuilt binary available. It
should no longer be possible to write invalid Makefile code.
Doing this improves message latency and throughput, since we're
consolidating the 504 bytes of static memory which has the most
churn into a single place.
* Update redbean shutdown to call OnServerStop when all shutdown/logging is done
* Move closing file descriptors during daemonization earlier
This should fix using opened file descriptors, for example, SQLite DB
files and redbean itself when StoreAsset is used. Fixes#182.
* Move opening logs earlier to capture logs from Listen and .init.lua
* Move pidpath handling outside of daemonize, as it can be used independently
* Add GetResponseBody to redbean to get access to generated response
* Update GetStatus to return status code set by redbean itself (outside
of Lua code)
- Introduce path module to redbean
- Fix glitch with linenoise printing extra line on eof
- Introduce closefrom() and close_range() system calls
- Make file descriptor closing more secure in pledge.com
It's now possible with any redbean (including redbean-original) to
launch the system web browser without having to use the Lua API. For
example, you can create an args file:
echo -I/ >.args
zip redbean-original.com .args
That will white-label redbean so it launches a specific page when you
double-click on the executable.
See https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/discussions/472
We now rewrite the binary image at runtime on Windows and XNU to change
mov %fs:0,%reg instructions to use %gs instead. There's also simpler
threading API introduced by this change and it's called _spawn() and
_join(), which has replaced most clone() usage.
Our build was flaking due to ETXTBSY errors running multiple redbean
instances in parallel. This is due to the StoreAsset() support which
seems to cause enough problems it's worth making a *breaking change*
turning it off by default for now. There's a new -* flag, to restore
redbean's old self-modifying behavior.
- Fix DescribeSigset()
- Introduce new unix.rmrf() API
- Fix redbean sigaction() doc example code
- Fix unix.sigaction() w/ more than two args
- Improve redbean re module API (non-breaking)
- Enhance Lua with Python string multiplication
- Make third parameter of unix.socket() default to 0
The Compress() and Uncompress() APIs were a mistake. The functions
themselves work fine, but it's a design blemish and does superfluous
work. Since they were only introduced in the last few weeks, they're now
deprecated and references to them have been scrubbed from the website
and other documentation. Please use the new APIs since the old APIs will
be removed at some point in the future.
This change introduces automated Lua unit tests for the Redbean APIs.
There's a few functions that were broken which have now been fixed, e.g.
Underlong() and Decimate().
- Wrap clock_getres()
- Wrap sched_setscheduler()
- Make sleep() api conformant
- Polyfill sleep() using select()
- Improve clock_gettime() polyfill
- Make nanosleep() POSIX conformant
- Slightly improve some DNS functions
- Further strengthen pledge() sandboxing
- Improve rounding of timeval / timespec
- Allow layering of pledge() calls on Linux
- Polyfill sched_yield() using select() on XNU
- Delete more system constants we probably don't need
- Introduce __assert_disable global
- Improve strsignal() thread safety
- Make system call tracing thread safe
- Fix SO_RCVTIMEO / SO_SNDTIMEO on Windows
- Refactor DescribeFoo() functions into one place
- Fix fork() on Windows when TLS and MAP_STACK exist
- Round upwards in setsockopt(SO_RCVTIMEO) on Windows
- Disable futexes on OpenBSD which seem extremely broken
- Implement a better kludge for monotonic time on Windows
This will help make it easier to troubleshoot ABI breakages with on
operating systems that, unlike Linux don't have ironclad guarantees
to not break userspace.
This change fixes a regression in unix.connect() caused by the recent
addition of UNIX domain sockets. The BSD finger command has been added
to third_party for fun and profit. A new demo has been added to redbean
showing how a protocol as simple as finger can be implemented.
This should strike a better compromise that keeps people happy about the
security of APE when it extracts the loader. This way systems with users
who aren't trusted (e.g. CPanel) won't be at any risk of compromise when
there isn't an `ape` loader on the system `$PATH`.
This change also bumps redbean up to 2.0.3
This change hardens the code for opening /zip/ files using the system
call interface. Thread safety and signal safety has been improved for
file descriptors in general. We now document fixed addresses that are
needed for low level allocations.
This change switches most of the core locks to be re-entrant, in order
to reduce the chance of deadlocking code that does, clever things with
asynchronous signal handlers. This change implements it it in pthreads
so we're one step closer to having a standardized threading primitives
This change turns symbol table compression back on using Puff, which
noticeably reduces the size of programs like redbean and Python. The
redbean web server receives some minor API additions for controlling
things like SSL in addition to filling gaps in the documentation.

This change introduces a `-W /dev/pts/1` flag to redbean. What it does
is use the mincore() system call to create a dual-screen terminal
display that lets you troubleshoot the virtual address space. This is
useful since page faults are an important thing to consider when using a
forking web server. Now we have a colorful visualization of which pages
are going to fault and which ones are resident in memory.
The memory monitor, if enabled, spawns as a thread that just outputs
ANSI codes to the second terminal in a loop. In order to make this
happen using the new clone() polyfill, stdio is now thread safe.
This change also introduces some new demo pages to redbean. It also
polishes the demos we already have, to look a bit nicer and more
presentable for the upcoming release, with better explanations too.
