fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) reached redox_rt/kernel with the POSIX/C value 1030
instead of the Redox syscall value (syscall::F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC=5). redox_rt did
not recognize it as a dup, forwarded the raw command to the kernel, and the
kernel's fcntl fell through to its EINVAL catch-all. That made
OwnedFd::try_clone() return EINVAL, which broke tokio Runtime::build() (its I/O
reactor try_clones the epoll fd) for every tokio user on Redox: all the zbus
system daemons (sessiond/polkit/udisks/upower) and the login shell. F_DUPFD and
plain dup worked because they share the same value in both namespaces;
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC was the sole untranslated command.
Also drop the ineffective epoll_ctl EINVAL/EBADF retry loop: it was based on a
disproven 'transient scheme churn' theory; epoll registrations always succeed
immediately. The real dup failure is fixed above.
Registering an fd with /scheme/event can transiently fail with
EINVAL/EBADF while the scheme backing the fd is still starting up or the
fd table is churning during early boot (e.g. a tokio/mio reactor built by
a daemon that races ahead of ipcd's uds_stream scheme). Without recovery,
tokio's Runtime::build aborts the whole runtime with "Invalid argument
(os error 22)", killing every zbus daemon (sessiond, polkit, udisks,
upower) and any tokio program including the login shell.
Retry the /scheme/event registration write with a 5ms backoff, up to ~2s,
on EINVAL/EBADF; a genuinely permanent failure still surfaces after the
bounded window. Redox-only. This is the registration-site counterpart to
the existing park-path recovery in the P0-epoll-redox-recovery tokio patch.
Adapted from the archived local P3-waitid.patch. Fills a POSIX gap needed by
job-control-capable shells (brush/nix). waitid() maps (idtype,id)->waitpid pid,
translates WEXITED/WSTOPPED/WCONTINUED/WNOWAIT options, and populates siginfo_t
(si_pid/si_signo/si_code/si_status) from the wait status.
The copied child table did not reliably retain the thread and process descriptors at the numbers exported through auxv. Explicitly clone both descriptors into the selected child table before loading the image, and remove the ineffective parent-handle leak.
posix_spawn creates a new context and returns its thread fd to the
parent. The kernel currently does not keep a self-reference to the child
context's thread fd, so when the parent closes its handle, the child's
thread object may be destroyed before the dynamic linker reads
AT_REDOX_THR_FD from auxv and opens regs/env. Leak the parent handle
until the kernel is fixed to retain a reference per context.
The previous pipe2 implementation used redox_rt::sys::open() which goes
through the FILETABLE's insert_upper mechanism. This can collide with
the untracked namespace fd (ns_fd) stored in DYNAMIC_PROC_INFO, causing
the kernel to overwrite the namespace fd entry with a pipe scheme root
entry. Subsequent open() calls then resolve to the wrong scheme, and
kdup fails with EBADF because it receives a write-end (odd) ID instead
of a read-end (even) ID.
Fix: bypass the open() function entirely and use raw syscall::openat +
syscall::dup, then register both fds with register_external_fd so the
FILETABLE tracks them correctly.
bits/eventfd.h defines the eventfd_t 64-bit counter type used by
sys/eventfd.h. Without this config, cbindgen skipped the directory
and the type wasn't generated.
sys_timerfd was fully implemented in Rust (timerfd_create,
timerfd_settime, timerfd_gettime, itimerspec support) but lacked
the cbindgen.toml needed to generate the <sys/timerfd.h> C header.
Qt6's QSocketNotifier and many other C programs depend on this header.
Without it, cbindgen skips the directory entirely.
This adds the cbindgen config + trailer with all function prototypes,
matching the pattern used by sys_signalfd.
Generated signal.h uses uint32_t, int32_t, uint64_t, uintptr_t etc.
without including stdint.h, causing compilation failures in C packages
that include signal.h (diffutils, etc).
Creates sys_eventfd header module providing eventfd(), eventfd_read(),
and eventfd_write(). Uses the kernel event scheme (/scheme/event) on
Redox, returning ENOSYS on Linux. Required for packages like Python
that link against eventfd.
