Release notes for 2.46 2020-12-12
The bulk of this release concerns fixes and improvements to lib[psx]:
* Allow a dying thread to participate in the psx-fixup mechanism - bug
* Golang had some issues with lib[psx]using SIGRTMAX for the psx-fixup
- lib[psx] now interrupts SIGSYS (probably still needs some work to
support the signal pass-through)
* The psx Go package, because it contained a sub-directory with
only a .h header in it, did not work with Golang module vendoring
- We've collapsed down the whole libcap/psx directory to be flat now
* The 6-argument psx_syscall6() and psx.Syscall6() now work
* Refactored the way Go package"cap" decides whether or not to
use syscall.AllThreadsSyscall*() or the psx-fixup mechanism into
the "psx" package. This way, all that build complexity resides
in the "psx" package, which should also make that package more
useful for other applications.
- Compile more things CGO_ENABLED=0 where there is support.
- Discovered a Golang bug so can't do it with psx-signals for this
libcap release.
* Cleanup of build tree:
* Deleted the POSIX semantics validation tests for Golang.
I've long since migrated them to the golang source tree.
- Added some .gitignore entries for build targets.
- Made libcap/kdebug make target work again and run
progs/quicktest.sh to completion.
* Started to develop goapps/gowns a program that can work with
capabilities and Containers. Not too much functionality yet.
