Your APE binaries will now run on eight hardware architectures. The
tradeoff is this change adds about 800kb of bloat to the executable
which to be fair is still more than half as small as Go hello world
Your APE shell script extracts an embedded build of Blink, based on
`$(uname -m)`. The Blink binaries are statically-linked (manylinux)
which means, they'll run on every distro's stock install, including
Apple M1's that haven't enabled Rosetta. Blink's emulation has been
designed to be nearly as fast as Rosetta, using a JIT technique for
faster startup time. Blink has also been tested more thoroughly, w/
emulating Cosmopolitan software, since we're the ones who wrote it.
libc/sock/if.h is removed because:
- it contained only IFNAMSIZ, which was also defined in
libc/sock/struct/ifreq.h
- it was not included in any file EXCEPT libc/isystem/net/if.h, which
also included the libc/sock/struct/ifreq.h
hence we remove this file, and move the IFNAMSIZ definition to
libc/sock/struct/ifreq.h which is included in isystem.
IFNAMSIZ is defined in:
- libc/sock/if.h
- libc/sock/struct/ifreq.h
we add a check in the latter to avoid a complaint when using the
amalgamated header.
This commit also paves the way for initial IPv6 support in `curl.com` by specifying
`AF_UNSPEC` for the address family in the hints passed to `getaddrinfo()`.
The database is much larger than it was when we started, so these
background reporting queries have become much more expensive than
before. We also had someone make 750k claims in one day, and even
hundreds of thousands per hour, which broke our assumptions about
hourly / daily reports being cheap.
* [metal] Copy program pages to extended memory at startup
* [metal] Reclaim base memory pages for later app use
* [metal] Load program pages beyond 1st 440 KiB to extended memory
o//examples/hellolua.com now runs correctly under QEMU (in
legacy BIOS mode).
* [metal] Place GDT in read/write segment
The CPU absolutely needs to alter the GDT when loading the
task register (via ltr). To account for this, I move the
GDT into a read/write data section. There is still a "rump"
read-only GDT in the text section that is used by the real
mode bootloader.
We also delay the loading of the task register (ltr) until
after the IDT and TSS are finally set up.
* [metal] Get examples/vga2.c serial output working for UEFI boot
* [metal] Get examples/vga2.c VGA output working for UEFI boot
* [metal] Allow munmap() to reclaim dynamically allocated pages
* Place TLS sections right after .text, not after embedded zip file

They'll now automatically create empty static archives for system
libraries that are provided by Cosmopolitan Libc. This helps make
configure scripts less confused. Musl does the same thing.
- Improve compatibility with Blink virtual machine
- Add non-POSIX APIs for joining threads and signal masks
- Never ever use anything except 32-bit integers for atomics
- Add some `#undef` statements to workaround `ctags` problems
Files beginning with "MZqFpD" are Actually Portable Executables,
which have a printf statement in the first 4096 bytes with octal
codes that specify the ELF header. APE also specifies `jartsr='`
as an alternative prefix, intended for binaries that do not want
to be identified as Windows executables. Like the \177ELF magic,
all these prefixes decode as x86 jump instructions that could be
used for 16-bit bootloaders or 32-bit / 64-bit flat executables.
Most importantly they provide a fallback path for Thompson shell
copmatible command interpreters, which do not require a shebang,
e.g. bash, zsh, fish, bourne, almquist, etc. Please note that in
order to meet the requirements of POSIX.1, the single quote must
be followed by a newline character, before any null bytes occur.

This change adds a double linked list of threads, so that pthread_exit()
will know when it should call exit() from an orphaned child. This change
also improves ftrace and strace logging.
libc/integral changes aren't checked in the build dependency, due to
being explicitly listed in .UNVEIL, which is how this breakage ended
up accidentally slipping through the cracks.
