2021-03-03[op] Replace syscall package usage with golang.org/x/sys/unix in pkg/.Ayush Ranjan
The syscall package has been deprecated in favor of golang.org/x/sys. Note that syscall is still used in the following places: - pkg/sentry/socket/hostinet/stack.go: some netlink related functionalities are not yet available in golang.org/x/sys. - syscall.Stat_t is still used in some places because os.FileInfo.Sys() still returns it and not unix.Stat_t.

2021-02-17Add gohacks.Slice/StringHeader.Jamie Liu
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19367 for rationale. Note that the upstream decision arrived at in that thread, while useful for some of our use cases, doesn't account for all of our SliceHeader use cases (we often use SliceHeader to extract pointers from slices in a way that avoids bounds checking and/or handles nil slices correctly) and also doesn't exist yet.

2020-08-20Consistent precondition formattingMichael Pratt
Our "Preconditions:" blocks are very useful to determine the input invariants, but they are bit inconsistent throughout the codebase, which makes them harder to read (particularly cases with 5+ conditions in a single paragraph). I've reformatted all of the cases to fit in simple rules: 1. Cases with a single condition are placed on a single line. 2. Cases with multiple conditions are placed in a bulleted list. This format has been added to the style guide. I've also mentioned "Postconditions:", though those are much less frequently used, and all uses already match this style. PiperOrigin-RevId: 327687465

2020-01-09New sync package.Ian Gudger
* Rename syncutil to sync. * Add aliases to sync types. * Replace existing usage of standard library sync package. This will make it easier to swap out synchronization primitives. For example, this will allow us to use primitives from github.com/sasha-s/go-deadlock to check for lock ordering violations. Updates #1472 PiperOrigin-RevId: 289033387

2019-11-01Don't log "p9.channel.service: flipcall connection shutdown".Jamie Liu
This gets quite spammy, especially in tests. PiperOrigin-RevId: 277970468
2019-09-12Remove go_test from go_stateify and go_marshalMichael Pratt
They are no-ops, so the standard rule works fine. PiperOrigin-RevId: 268776264
2019-09-06Indicate flipcall synchronization to the Go race detector.Jamie Liu
Since each Endpoint has a distinct mapping of the packet window, the Go race detector does not recognize accesses by connected Endpoints to be related. This means that this change isn't necessary for the Go race detector to accept accesses of flipcall.Endpoint.Data(), but it *is* necessary for it to accept accesses to shared variables outside the scope of flipcall that are synchronized by flipcall.Endpoint state; see updated test for an example. RaceReleaseMerge is needed (instead of RaceRelease) because calls to raceBecomeInactive() from *unrelated* Endpoints can occur in any order. (DowngradableRWMutex.RUnlock() has a similar property: calls to RUnlock() on the same DowngradableRWMutex from different goroutines can occur in any order. Remove the TODO asking to explain this now that this is understood.) PiperOrigin-RevId: 267705325
2019-09-03Ensure that flipcall.Endpoint.Shutdown() shuts down inactive peers.Jamie Liu
PiperOrigin-RevId: 267022978
2019-07-31Flipcall refinements.Jamie Liu
Note that some of these changes affect the protocol in backward-incompatible ways. - Replace use of "initially-active" and "initially-inactive" with "client" and "server" respectively for clarity. - Fix a race condition involving Endpoint.Shutdown() by repeatedly invoking FUTEX_WAKE until it is confirmed that no local thread is blocked in FUTEX_WAIT. - Drop flipcall.ControlMode.

2019-06-21Add //pkg/flipcall.Jamie Liu
Flipcall is a (conceptually) simple local-only RPC mechanism. Compared to unet, Flipcall does not support passing FDs (support for which will be provided out of band by another package), requires users to establish connections manually, and requires user management of concurrency since each connected Endpoint pair supports only a single RPC at a time; however, it improves performance by using shared memory for data (reducing memory copies) and using futexes for control signaling (which is much cheaper than sendto/recvfrom/sendmsg/recvmsg).
