Cosmopolitan now supports mremap(), which is only supported on Linux and
NetBSD. First, it allows memory mappings to be relocated without copying
them; this can dramatically speed up data structures like std::vector if
the array size grows larger than 256kb. The mremap() system call is also
10x faster than munmap() when shrinking large memory mappings.
There's now two functions, getpagesize() and getgransize() which help to
write portable code that uses mmap(MAP_FIXED). Alternative sysconf() may
be called with our new _SC_GRANSIZE. The madvise() system call now has a
better wrapper with improved documentation.
Actually Portable Executable now supports Android. Cosmo's old mmap code
required a 47 bit address space. The new implementation is very agnostic
and supports both smaller address spaces (e.g. embedded) and even modern
56-bit PML5T paging for x86 which finally came true on Zen4 Threadripper
Cosmopolitan no longer requires UNIX systems to observe the Windows 64kb
granularity; i.e. sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) will now report the host native
page size. This fixes a longstanding POSIX conformance issue, concerning
file mappings that overlap the end of file. Other aspects of conformance
have been improved too, such as the subtleties of address assignment and
and the various subtleties surrounding MAP_FIXED and MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE
On Windows, mappings larger than 100 megabytes won't be broken down into
thousands of independent 64kb mappings. Support for MAP_STACK is removed
by this change; please use NewCosmoStack() instead.
Stack overflow avoidance is now being implemented using the POSIX thread
APIs. Please use GetStackBottom() and GetStackAddr(), instead of the old
error-prone GetStackAddr() and HaveStackMemory() APIs which are removed.
At least in neovim, `│vi:` is not recognized as a modeline because it
has no preceding whitespace. After fixing this, opening a file yields
an error because `net` is not an option. (`noet`, however, is.)
This reverts commit b01282e23e. Some tests
are broken. It's not clear how it'll impact metal yet. Let's revisit the
memory optimization benefits of this change again sometime soon.
This reduces the virtual memory usage of Emacs for me by 30%. We now
have a simpler implementation that uses read(), rather mmap()ing the
whole executable.
- Get SIGWINCH working again on the New Technology
- Correctly handle O_NOFOLLOW in open() on Windows
- Implement synthetic umask() functionality on Windows
- Do a better job managing file execute access on Windows
- Fill in `st_uid` and `st_gid` with username hash on Windows
- Munge UNICODE control pictures into control codes on Windows
- Do a better job ensuring Windows console settings are restored
- Introduce KPRINTF_LOG environment variable to log kprintf to a file
readdir() will now always yield an inode that's consistent with stat()
on ZipOS and Windows in general. More APIs have been updated to return
the appropriate error code when inappropriately trying to do ops, like
sockets, with a zip file descriptor. The path normalization algorithms
are now fully fleshed out. Some socket APIs have been fixed so they'll
raise EBADF vs. ENOTSOCK appropriately. Lastly seekdir() will now work
properly on NetBSD and FreeBSD (not sure why anyone would even use it)
This change improves the dirstream library in a lot of respects,
especially for /zip/... files. Also turn off MAP_STACK on Aarch64
because Qemu seems to implement it differently than Linux and it's
probably responsible for a lot of mysterious crashes.
This way complex runtime features (e.g. ftrace, symbol tables) can
always yoink zipos support. This is important now that apelink.com
automates embedding symbol tables for multiple cpus.
