Add the missing F_SEAL_SEAL, F_SEAL_SHRINK, F_SEAL_GROW, F_SEAL_WRITE,
F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE, and F_SEAL_EXEC constants used with
F.ADD_SEALS/F.GET_SEALS for memfd file sealing. These are defined in the
Linux kernel at include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h.
The FreeBSD equivalents already exist in std.c (freebsd.F),
but the Linux side was missing them.
Importantly, adds ability to get Clock resolution, which may be zero.
This allows error.Unexpected and error.ClockUnsupported to be removed
from timeout and clock reading error sets.
This allows stack overflows to print stack traces. The size of the
sigaltstack (and whether it is actually set) can be configured by
setting `std.Options.signal_stack_size`.
The default value for the signal stack size was chosen experimentally by
doubling the value required to get stack traces on stack overflow with
the self-hosted x86_64 backend. While some targets may typically use
more stack space than x86_64-linux, the self-hosted x86_64 backend is
quite wasteful with stack at the moment, making it a fair benchmark.
Executables produced by the LLVM backend should have lower stack usage.
this gets the build runner compiling again on linux
this work is incomplete; it only moves code around so that environment
variables can be wrangled properly. a future commit will need to audit
the cancelation and error handling of this moved logic.
Some filesystems, such as ZFS, do not report atime. It's pretty useless
in general, so make it an optional field in File.Stat.
Also take the opportunity to make setting timestamps API more flexible
and match the APIs widely available, which have UTIME_OMIT and UTIME_NOW
constants that can be independently set for both fields.
This is needed to handle smoothly the case when atime is null.
Maintaining the POSIX `stat` bits for Zig is a pain. The order and
bit-length of members differ between all architectures, and int types
can be signed or unsigned. The libcs deal with this by introducing the
own version of `struct stat` and copying the kernel structure members to
it. In the case of glibc, they did it twice thanks to the largefile
transition!
In practice, the project needs to maintain three versions of `struct
stat`:
- What the kernel defines.
- What musl wants for `struct stat`.
- What glibc wants for `struct stat64`. Make sure to use `fstatat64`!
This isn't as simple as running `zig translate-c`. In #21440 I had to:
- Compile toolchains for each arch+glibc/musl combo.
- Create a test `fstat` program with/without `FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`.
- Dump the value for `struct stat`.
- Stare at `std.os.linux`/`std.c` and cry.
- Add some missing padding.
The fact that so many target checks in the `linux` and `posix` tests
exist is most likely due to writing to padding bits and failing later.
The solution to this madness is `statx(2)`:
- It takes a single structure that is the same for all arches AND libcs.
- It uses a custom timestamp format, but it is 64-bit ready.
- It gives the same info as `fstatat(2)` and more!
- Unlike `fstatat(2)`, you can request a subset of the info required
based on passing a mask.
It's so good that modern Linux arches (e.g. riscv) don't even implement
`stat`, with the libcs using a generic `struct stat` and copying from
`struct statx`.
Therefore, this commit rips out all the `stat` bits from `std.os.linux`
and `std.c`. `std.posix.Stat` is now `void`, and calling
`std.posix.*stat` is an compile-time error. A wrapper around `statx` has
been added to `std.os.linux`, and callers have been upgraded to use it.
Tests have also been updated to use `statx` where possible.
While I was here, I converted the mask and file attributes to be packed
struct bitfields. A nice side effect is checking that you actually
recieved the members you asked for via `Statx.mask`, which I have used
by adding `assert`s at specific callsites.
glibc and linux kernel use size_t for some field lengths while POSIX and
musl use int. This bug would have caused breakage the first time someone
tried to call sendmsg on a 64-bit big endian system when linking musl
libc.
my opinion:
* msghdr.iovlen: kernel and glibc have it right. This field should
definitely be size_t. With int, the padding bytes are wasted for no
reason.
* msghdr.controllen: POSIX and musl have it right. 4 bytes is plenty for
the length, and it saves 4 bytes next to flags.
* cmsghdr.len: POSIX and musl have it right. 4 bytes is plenty for the
length, and it saves 4 bytes since the other fields are also 32-bits
each.
The one about INT_MAX is self-evident from the type system.
The one about kernel having bad types doesn't seem accurate as I checked
the source code and it uses size_t for all the appropriate types,
matching the libc struct definition for msghdr and msghdr_const.
This is very likely full of wrong stuff. It's effectively just a copy of the
x86_64 file - needed because the former stopped using usize/isize. To be clear,
this is no more broken than the old situation was; this just makes the
brokenness explicit.
