libc/intrin/interrupts.S should not be linked in unless
an IDT (or TSS) is explicitly requested somewhere (i.e.
it should probably not be a mandatory module).
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
- Change IDT code so kprintf() isn't mandatory dependency
- Document current intentions around pthread_cancel()
- Make _npassert() an _unassert() in MODE=tiny
- fix rare thread exit race condition on openbsd
- pthread_getattr_np() now supplies detached status
- child threads may now pthread_join() the main thread
- introduce sigandset(), sigorset(), and sigisemptyset()
- introduce pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop()
- correctly check that virtual region we want to use is
unmapped, rather than accidentally clobbering existing pages
- avoid placing mmap'd memory at null virtual address
* [metal] Refactoring: separate out sys_writev_vga() and _vga_init() modules
* [metal] Read VGA info from BDA before long mode entry, not after
If using a pre-existing VGA text console, the VGA initialization
code now retrieves the cursor position & character height from
the BIOS data area while still in real mode — rather than
reading from the BIOS data area only after entering long mode.
(This should help make the code more correct, if Cosmopolitan
were to support UEFI graphics output in the future. If the
program were booted via UEFI, then the long mode IsMetal()
code would still be activated, but the BIOS data area might
not have been initialized in that case.)
This change also means that there are now a few more fields
in the `struct mman`.
* [metal] VGA console can now show "screen of death" upon a crash
There is now a new function _klog_vga(), which can be called
by kprintf() to output system messages — e.g. information about
CPU exceptions — on the VGA screen.
* [metal] CPU exception handler now dumps cr2 value
* [metal] Add demo of program crash reporting w/ bare metal VGA TTY
* [metal] Reduce size of "screen of death" code
You can now do things like implement mutexes using futexes in your
redbean lua code. This provides the fastest possible inter-process
communication for your production systems when SQLite alone as ipc
or things like pipes aren't sufficient.
* Proof of concept of sqlite serialization
This is a minimal proof of concept in order to show that it is easily possible to store the sqlite database within the zip file itself not requiring creating an external file first. Changes include compiling the sqlite library with the serialization flag, adding serialize/deserialize to the lua sqlite library and demonstrating the work via the redbean demo.
* Change demo for sqlite serialization
As explained in https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/pull/436#issuecomment-1164706893 the original use case is not possible with sqlite serialization, as an in-memory database cannot be shared across multiple processes. Thereby, this use case simply creates a backup of the in-memory database created in '.init.lua' and loads it to do a query.
* Fix sqlite3_deserialize parameters
The call to the sqlite3 library for the deserilization wasn't fully correct. This should fix the size parameters.
* Test output of colors for VGA graphics modes in examples/vga.c
* [metal] Character output in VGA graphics modes is mostly working
* [metal] Mention magic key to switch video mode, at bootup
ParseHttpMessage() now does a better job avoiding malloc() calls and
headers commonly sent by CloudFlare can now be consulted in constant
time using our hard-coded perfect hash table. This increases /claim
performance from 321k to 337k qps which is 5% faster.
- Shutdown process now has optimal cancellation latency
- Fairer techniques for shedding connections under load
- We no longer need to call poll() which is now removed
We need to make sure no existing mappings exist between the
MAP_GROWSDOWN page and the guard page, since otherwise it's
not going to be able to grow down thus causing difficult to
troubleshoot failures.
It can now handle 240k SQLite write QPS at 3ms 99 percentile latency.
We're still working out the kinks since it's brand new. But we've got
this running in production already!
This change also found a few POSIX compliance bugs with errnos. Another
bug was discovered where, on Windows, pread() and pwrite() could modify
the file position in cases where ReadFile() returned an error e.g. when
seeking past the end of file. We also have more tests!
