Cygwin: execve: fix setting O_APPEND file offset for native child
dtable::set_file_pointers_for_exec is called from
child_info_spawn::worker to move the file position of O_APPEND
files to EOF if the child is a native child.
However, this only works correctly for the first O_APPEND
file descriptor:
- set_file_pointers_for_exec calls SetFilePointer. The higher
4 bytes of the desired file offset are given to SetFilePointer
as pointer to a DWORD value. On return, SetFilePointer returns
the higher 4 bytes of the new file position in this DWORD.
- So for the second and subsequent descriptors the higher 4 byte
of the file position depend on what the actual file position
of the previous file has been set to:
- If the file is > 2 Gigs, the high offset will not be 0 anymore.
- If the desciptor points to a non-seekable file (i.e., a pipe
or socket), SetFilePosition returns an error and sets the high
position to -1.
Fix this by calling SetFilePointerEx instead, which does not
modify the incoming position value.
Cygwin: fix child getting another pid after spawnve
When calling spawnve, in contrast to execve, the parent has
to create the pid for the child. With the old technique
this was simply the Windows pid, but now we have to inform
the child about its new pid.
Add a cygpid member to class child_info_spawn. Set it in
child_info_spawn::worker, just prior to calling CreateProcess
rather than afterwards. Overwrite cygheap->pid in
child_info_spawn::handle_spawn before calling pinfo::thisproc.
Make sure pinfo::thisproc knows the pid is already set by
setting the handle argument to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
Also set procinfo->dwProcessId to myself_initial.dwProcessId
instead of to myself_initial.pid for clarity.

AArch32: Add support for HLT to Mixed Mode models
The Semihosting v2 protocol requires us to output the Armv8-a HLT instruction
when in mixed mode (SEMIHOST_V2_MIXED_MODE), however it also requires this to
be done for Armv7-a and earlier architectures.
The HLT instruction is defined in the undefined encoding space for older
architectures but simulators such as QEMU already trap on it [1] for all
architectures and is a requirement for semihosting v2 [2].
Unfortunately the GAS restricts the use of HLT to Armv8-a which requires us to
use the instruction encodings we want directly in crt0.
This patch does this, I have not updated newlib/libc/* as that is quite out of
date already. A proper sync is needed in order to get things back in sync.
forkables: hardlink without WRITE_ATTRIBUTES first
When the current process has renamed (to bin) a readonly dll, we get
STATUS_TRANSACTION_NOT_ACTIVE for unknown reason when subsequently
creating the forkable hardlink. A workaround is to open the original
file with FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access, but that fails with permission
denied for users not owning the original file.
* forkable.cc (dll::create_forkable): Retry hardlink creation using the
original file's handle opened with FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access when the
first attempt fails with STATUS_TRANSACTION_NOT_ACTIVE.
* Rename cygwin_shared->prefer_forkable_hardlinks to
forkable_hardlink_support, with values
0 for Unknown, 1 for Supported, -1 for Unsupported.
Upon first dll loaded ever, dll_list::forkable_ntnamesize checks the
/var/run/cygfork directory to both exist and reside on NTFS, setting
cygwin_shared->forkable_hardlink_support accordingly.
* Replace enum forkables_needs by bool forkables_created: Set
to True by request_forkables after creating forkable hardlinks.
forkables: Keep hardlinks disabled via shared mem.
To avoid the need for each process to check the filesystem to detect
that hardlink creation is impossible or disabled, cache this fact in
shared memory. Removing cygfork directory while in use does disable
hardlinks creation. To (re-)enable hardlinks creation, the cygfork
directory has to exist before the first cygwin process does fork.
* forkable.cc (dll_list::forkable_ntnamesize): Short cut
forkables needs to impossible when disabled via shared memory.
(dll_list::update_forkables_needs): When detecting hardlink
creation as impossible (not on NTFS) while still (we are the
first one checking) enabled via shared memory, disable the
shared memory value.
(dll_list::request_forkables): Disable the shared memory value
when hardlinks creation became disabled, that is when the
cygfork directory was removed.
* include/cygwin/version.h: Bump CYGWIN_VERSION_SHARED_DATA 6.
* shared_info.h (struct shared_info): Add member
prefer_forkable_hardlinks. Update CURR_SHARED_MAGIC.
* shared.cc (shared_info::initialize): Initialize
prefer_forkable_hardlinks to 1 (Yes).
To support in-cygwin package managers, the fork() implementation must
not rely on .exe and .dll files to stay in their original location, as
the package manager's job is to replace these files. Instead, when the
first fork try fails, and we have NTFS, we use hardlinks to the original
binaries in /var/run/cygfork/ to create the child process during the
second fork try, along the main.exe.local file to enable the "DotLocal
Dll Redirection" feature for the dlls.
The (probably few) users that need an update-safe fork manually have to
create the /var/run/cygfork/ directory for now, using:
mkdir --mode=a=rwxt /var/run/cygfork

run dofork again with_forkables set to true.
(child_copy): Use debug_printf if silentfail is true,
system_printf otherwise.
In preparation to protect fork() against dll- and exe-updates, create
hardlinks to the main executable and each loaded dll in subdirectories
of /var/run/cygfork/, if that one exists on the NTFS file system.
The directory names consist of the user sid, the main executable's NTFS
IndexNumber, and the most recent LastWriteTime of all involved binaries
(dlls and main executable). Next to the main.exe hardlink we create the
empty file main.exe.local to enable dll redirection.
The name of the mutex to synchronize hardlink creation/cleanup also is
assembled from these directory names, to allow for synchronized cleanup
of even orphaned hardlink directories.
The hardlink to each dynamically loaded dll goes into another directory,
named using the NTFS IndexNumber of the dll's original directory.

Cygwin: proc fd: fix handling of pipes, sockets, etc
The symlink target of /proc/PID/fd files pointing to pipes and
sockets are just artificial filenames referencing the object using
some internal number. The pipe open code expects a path specifying
process pid and the internal number so it access the right process
and pipe.
- Set the posix path of the pipe to the simple pipe name only,
as it shows up in /proc/PID/fd. A /proc/self prefix is just
as wrong as a /dev/fd prefix.
- Revert thinko in fhandler_pipe::open expecting the name as
/proc/self/fd/... In fact this should never happen.
- Fix up the path before re-opening the pipe instead.
Cygwin: proc fd: pass along open mode when reopening file
The reopen code neglected to pass along the requested open
mode correctly. This may end up reopening the file with
incorrect access mask, or duplicating the wrong pipe handle.
When fork finally fails although both CreateProcess and creating the
"cygpid.N" shared memory section succeeded, we have to release that
shared memory section as well - before releasing the process handle.
Otherways we leave an orphan "cygpid.N" shared memory section, and any
subsequent cygwin process receiving the same PID fails to initialize.

Cygwin: processes: fix handling of native Windows processes

Cygwin PID anymore. This breaks ps -W and kill -f <WINPID>.

Windows processes get a faked Cygwin PID >= MAX_PID.

Cygwin: processes: use dedicated Cygwin PID rather than Windows PID
Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:
- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly. Some POSIX applications choke
on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.
- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
(depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.
- After an execve, the process has a split personality: Its Windows PID
is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
process. This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
one.
This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:
- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
expected by POSIX processes. The PIDs are created incrementally in
the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.
- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
unpredictable. This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.
- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
PID. This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.
- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.
- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
interfaces getting a Windows PID.
Cygwin: /proc: don't exit prematurely from /proc/PID/status
If a process is just exiting, requesting memory info may fail
with STATUS_PROCESS_IS_TERMINATING. Right now the code just bails
out if fetching mem info fails. However, the rest of the info is
still valuable for procps, so just carry on.

something else.

Cygwin: timerfd: reimplement from scratch
Using posix timers "timer_tracker" as base class for timerfd was flawed.
Posix timers are not inherited by child processes and don't survive
execve. The method used by posix timers didn't allow to share timers
between processes. The timers were still per-process timers and worked
entirely separate from each other. Reading from these timers via
different descriptors was only synchronized within the same process.
This does not reflect the timerfd semantics in Linux: The per-file
timers can be dup'ed and survive fork and execve. They are still just
descriptors pointing to the same timer object originally created by
timerfd_create. Synchronization is performed between all descriptor
instances of the same timer, system-wide.
Thus, reimplement timerfd using a timer instance in shared memory,
a kernel timer, and a handful of sync objects.
Every process maintains a per-process timerfd struct on the cygheap
maintaining a per-process thread. Every process sharing the same
timerfd will run this thread checking the state of the timer, similar
to the posix timer thread, just working on the shared objects and
synchronizing its job with each other thread.
Drop the timerfd implementation in the posix timer code and move the
public API to fhandler_timerfd.c. Keep the ttstart timer_tracker
anchor out of "NO_COPY" since the fixup_after_fork code should run to

fixup after fork. Revert to not-NO_COPY and make timerfd
fork work.
- On fixup_after_fork, keep timerfd timers and restart thread
if they were armed in the parent.
- Move timerfd timer_trackers to cygheap. Overload timer_tracker
new and delete methods to handle timers accordingly. This is not
exactly required for fork, but exec will be grateful.
- Give up on TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET for now. There's no easy way
to recognize a discontinuous change in a clock.
