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).
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.
* Makefile.in (DLL_OFILES): Add forkable.o.
* dll_init.h (struct dll): Declare member variables fbi, fii,
forkable_ntname. Declare methods nominate_forkable,
create_forkable.
(struct dll_list): Declare enum forkables_needs. Declare member
variables forkables_dirx_size, forkables_dirx_ntname,
forkables_mutex_name, forkables_mutex. Declare private methods
forkable_ntnamesize, prepare_forkables_nomination,
update_forkables_needs, update_forkables, create_forkables,
denominate_forkables, close_mutex, try_remove_forkables,
set_forkables_inheritance, request_forkables. Declare public
static methods ntopenfile, read_fii, read_fbi. Declare public
methods release_forkables, cleanup_forkables. Define public
inline method setup_forkables.
* dll_init.cc (dll_list::alloc): Allocate memory to hold the
name of the hardlink in struct dll member forkable_ntname.
Initialize struct dll members fbi, fii.
(dll_list::load_after_fork): Call release_forkables method.
* fork.cc: Rename public fork function to static dofork, add
with_forkables as bool pointer parameter. Add new fork function
calling dofork. (struct frok): Add bool pointer member
with_forkables, add as constructor parameter.
(frok::parent): Call dlls.setup_forkables before CreateProcessW,
dlls.release_forkables afterwards.
* pinfo.cc (pinfo::exit): Call dlls.cleanup_forkables.
* syscalls.cc (_unlink_nt): Rename public unlink_nt function to
static _unlink_nt, with 'shareable' as additional argument.
(unlink_nt): New, wrap _unlink_nt for original behaviour.
(unlink_nt_shareable): New, wrap _unlink_nt to keep a binary
file still loadable while removing one of its hardlinks.
* forkable.cc: New file.
Implement static functions mkdirs, rmdirs, rmdirs_synchronized,
stat_real_file_once, format_IndexNumber, rootname, sidname,
exename, lwtimename. Define static array forkable_nameparts.
(struct dll): Implement nominate_forkable, create_forkable.
(struct dll_list): Implement static methods ntopenfile,
read_fii, read_fbi. Implement forkable_ntnamesize,
