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.
- 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
- 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
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.
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 had previously not enabled TLS in MODE=tiny in order to keep the
smallest example programs (e.g. life.com) just 16kb in size. But it
was error prone doing that, so now we just always enable it because
this change uses hacks to ensure it won't increase life.com's size.
This change also fixes a bug on NetBSD, where signal handlers would
break thread local storage if SA_SIGINFO was being used. This looks
like it might be a bug in NetBSD, but it's got a simple workaround.
Calls to lock/unlock functions are now NOPs by default. The first time
clone() is called, they get turned into CALL instructions. Doing this
caused funcctions like fputc() to shrink from 85 bytes to 45+4 bytes.
Since the ANSI solution of `(__threaded && lock())` inlines os much
superfluous binary content into functions all over the place.
