lz4toasm should now more easily accept LZ4 files output by
compressor programs that do not support the extracted-size
field, such as Stephan Brumme's smallz4.
This patch also proposes to add a new lz4len() function to
the libc: it parses an LZ4 compressed block to compute the
unpacked content size, without really unpacking the block.

This change fixes stderr to be unbuffered. Added hardware AES on ARM64
to help safeguard against timing attacks. The curl.com command will be
somewhat more pleasant to use.
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.
- Found some bugs in LLVM compiler-rt library
- The useless LIBC_STUBS package is now deleted
- Improve the overflow checking story even further
- Get chibicc tests working in MODE=dbg mode again
- The libc/isystem/ headers now have correctly named guards
Since 8ff48201ca we no longer need the
hack where, when running .com.dbg files, we scanned for the embedded
.com file offset, and then computed zip offsets realtive to that. It
wasn't very reliable in the first place, and was causing issues with
running our new .com.dbg executables, which are true zip files.
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 takes an entirely new approach to the incremental linking of
pkzip executables. The assets created by zipobj.com are now treated like
debug data. After a .com.dbg is compiled, fixupobj.com should be run, so
it can apply fixups to the offsets and move the zip directory to the end
of the file. Since debug data doesn't get objcopy'd, a new tool has been
introduced called zipcopy.com which should be run after objcopy whenever
a .com file is created. This is all automated by the `cosmocc` toolchain
which is rapidly becoming the new recommended approach.
This change also introduces the new C23 checked arithmetic macros.
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.
In order to improve our chances of success building other open source
projects we shouldn't define APIs that'll lead any ./configure script
astray. For example:
- brk() and sbrk() can break mac/windows support
- syscall() is a superb way to break portability
- arch_prctl() is the greatest of all horror shows
- Get mprotect_test working on aarch64
- Get completion working on python.com repl again
- Improve quality of printvideo.com and printimage.com
- Fix bug in openpty() so examples/script.c works again
This change greatly reduces the number of modules that need to be
compiled. The only issue right now is that sometimes when viewing
symbol table entries, the aliased symbol is chosen.
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.
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
- 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 C standard states:
> Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the functions described in this
> subclause order two wide characters the same way as two integers of
> the underlying integer type designated by wchar_t.
>
> [...]
>
> The wcscmp function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
> less than zero, accordingly as the wide string pointed to by s1 is
> greater than, equal to, or less than the wide string pointed to by
> s2.
>
> [...]
>
> The wcsncmp function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
> less than zero, accordingly as the possibly null-terminated array
> pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the
> possibly null-terminated array pointed to by s2.
- C Standard, 7.31.4.4. Wide string comparison functions
Cosmopolitan fails to obey this in cases where the difference between
two wide characters is larger than WCHAR_MAX.
This means that, for example, the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <limits.h>
int main()
{
wchar_t str1[] = { WCHAR_MIN, L'\0' };
wchar_t str2[] = { WCHAR_MAX, L'\0' };
printf("%d\n", wcscmp(str1, str2));
printf("%d\n", wcsncmp(str1, str2, 2));
}
will print `1` twice, instead of the negative numbers mandated by the
standard (as WCHAR_MIN is less than WCHAR_MAX)
This patch fixes this, along with the associated Github issue,
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/783
- Exhaustively document cancellation points
- Rename SIGCANCEL to SIGTHR just like BSDs
- Further improve POSIX thread cancellations
- Ensure asynchronous cancellations work correctly
- Elevate the quality of getrandom() and getentropy()
- Make futexes cancel correctly on OpenBSD 6.x and 7.x
- Add reboot.com and shutdown.com to examples directory
- Remove underscore prefix from awesome timespec_*() APIs
- Create assertions that help verify our cancellation points
- Remove bad timespec APIs (cmp generalizes eq/ne/gt/gte/lt/lte)
- Invent iso8601us() for faster timestamps
- Improve --strace descriptions of sigset_t
- Rebuild the Landlock Make bootstrap binary
- Introduce MODE=sysv for non-Windows builds
- Permit OFD fcntl() locks under pledge(flock)
- redbean can now protect your kernel from ddos
- Have vfork() fallback to sys_fork() not fork()
- Change kmalloc() to not die when out of memory
- Improve documentation for some termios functions
- Rewrite putenv() and friends to conform to POSIX
- Fix linenoise + strace verbosity issue on Windows
- Fix regressions in our ability to show backtraces
- Change redbean SetHeader() to no-op if value is nil
- Improve fcntl() so SQLite locks work in non-WAL mode
- Remove some unnecessary work during fork() on Windows
- Create redbean-based SSL reverse proxy for IPv4 TurfWar
- Fix ape/apeinstall.sh warning when using non-bash shells
- Add ProgramTrustedIp(), and IsTrustedIp() APIs to redbean
- Support $PWD, $UID, $GID, and $EUID in command interpreter
- Introduce experimental JTqFpD APE prefix for non-Windows builds
- Invent blackhole daemon for firewalling IP addresses via UNIX named socket
- Add ProgramTokenBucket(), AcquireToken(), and CountTokens() APIs to redbean
If threads are being used, then fork() will now acquire and release and
runtime locks so that fork() may be safely used from threads. This also
makes vfork() thread safe, because pthread mutexes will do nothing when
the process is a child of vfork(). More torture tests have been written
to confirm this all works like a charm. Additionally:
- Invent hexpcpy() api
- Rename nsync_malloc_() to kmalloc()
- Complete posix named semaphore implementation
- Make pthread_create() asynchronous signal safe
- Add rm, rmdir, and touch to command interpreter builtins
- Invent sigisprecious() and modify sigset functions to use it
- Add unit tests for posix_spawn() attributes and fix its bugs
One unresolved problem is the reclaiming of *NSYNC waiter memory in the
forked child processes, within apps which have threads waiting on locks
The cosmopolitan command interpreter now has 13 builtin commands,
variable support, support for ; / && / || syntax, asynchronous support,
and plenty of unit tests with bug fixes.
This change fixes a bug in posix_spawn() with null envp arg. strace
logging now uses atomic writes for scatter functions. Breaking change
renaming GetCpuCount() to _getcpucount(). TurfWar is now updated to use
the new token bucket algorithm. WIN32 affinity masks now inherit across
fork() and execve().
This change addresses various open source compatibility issues, so that
we pass 313/411 of the tests in https://github.com/jart/libc-test where
earlier today we were passing about 30/411 of them, due to header toil.
Please note that Glibc only passes 341/411 so 313 today is pretty good!
- Make the conformance of libc/isystem/ headers nearly perfect
- Import more of the remaining math library routines from Musl
- Fix inconsistencies with type signatures of calls like umask
- Write tests for getpriority/setpriority which work great now
- conform to `struct sockaddr *` on remaining socket functions
- Import a bunch of uninteresting stdlib functions e.g. rand48
- Introduce readdir_r, scandir, pthread_kill, sigsetjmp, etc..
Follow the instructions in our `tool/scripts/cosmocc` toolchain to run
these tests yourself. You use `make CC=cosmocc` on the test repository
This change upgrades to the latest Chromium Zlib, fixes bugs in redbean,
and introduces better support for reverse proxies like Cloudflare. This
change improves the security of redbean and it's recommended that users
upgrade to the release that'll follow. This change also updates the docs
to clarify how to use the security tools redbean provides e.g. pledge(),
unveil(), and the MODE=asan builds which improve memory safety.
- Fix preadv() and pwritev() for old distros
- Introduce _npassert() and _unassert() macros
- Prove that file locks work properly on Windows
- Support fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) on more systems
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.
The organization of the source files is now much more rational.
Old experiments that didn't work out are now deleted. Naming of
things like files is now more intuitive.
OpenBSD's qsort() function is more secure than the ones used by
FreeBSD, NetBSD and MacOS. The best part is it goes faster too!
This change also imports the OpenBSD mergesort() and heapsort()
We now guarantee TMPDIR will be defined on a per build rule basis. It'll
be an absolute path. It'll be secure and unique. It'll be rm -rf'd after
the last shell script line in your build rule is executed. If $TMPDIR is
already defined, then it'll be created as a subdirectory of your $TMPDIR
and then replace the variable with the new definition. The Landlock Make
repository will be updated with examples shortly after this change which
shall be known as Landlock Make 1.1.1.
See #530
- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph
- 8.8% reduction in latency of make command
- Fix issue with temporary file cleanup
There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent
Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not
unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does.
Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead
in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since
the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx
make -j16 MODE=rel
RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time
RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size
RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel)
RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy)
RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual)
RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations
pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error.
These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module.
This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums
which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too
- Make memmem() faster
- Make readdir() thread safe
- Remove 64kb limit from mkdeps.com
- Add old crypt() function from Musl
- Improve new fix-third-party.py tool
- Improve libc/isystem/ headers and fix bugs
This change reconciles our pledge() implementation with the OpenBSD
kernel source code. We now a polyfill that's much closer to OpenBSD's
behavior. For example, it was discovered that "stdio" permits threads.
There were a bunch of Linux system calls that needed to be added, like
sched_yield(). The exec / execnative category division is now dropped.
We're instead using OpenBSD's "prot_exec" promise for launching APE
binaries and dynamic shared objects. We also now filter clone() flags.
The pledge.com command has been greatly improved. It now does unveiling
by default when Landlock is available. It's now smart enough to unveil a
superset of paths that OpenBSD automatically unveils with pledge(), such
as /etc/localtime. pledge.com also now checks if the executable being
launched is a dynamic shared object, in which case it unveils libraries.
These changes now make it possible to pledge curl on ubuntu 20.04 glibc:
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath prot_exec inet dns tty sendfd recvfd' \
curl -s https://justine.lol/hello.txt
Here's what pledging curl on Alpine 3.16 with Musl Libc looks like:
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath prot_exec dns inet' \
curl -s https://justine.lol/hello.txt
Here's what pledging curl.com w/ ape loader looks like:
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath prot_exec dns inet' \
o//examples/curl.com https://justine.lol/hello.txt
The most secure sandbox, is curl.com converted to static ELF:
o//tool/build/assimilate.com o//examples/curl.com
pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath dns inet' \
o//examples/curl.com https://justine.lol/hello.txt
A weird corner case needed to be handled when resolving symbolic links
during the unveiling process, that's arguably a Landlock bug. It's not
surprising since Musl and Glibc are also inconsistent here too.
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.

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.
