Oops when a stale copy is written back, i.e. the processor was yielded
since the copy was made. Such bugs are difficult to spot. Sequence
numbers catch them when they do actual harm (they also catch different
bugs). Generation numbers catch them even when they don't.
New ef_generation to count generations. Call new ef_make_stale() to
step it whenever the processor may be yielded.
New struct emptypedstr member generation. Make sure all members of
unit empobj_storage share it. It is only used in copies; its value on
disk and in the cache is meaningless. Set it to ef_generation by
calling new ef_mark_fresh() when making copies in ef_read() and
ef_blank(). Do the same in obj_changed() to make check_sect_ok() &
friends freshen their argument when it is unchanged. Copies with
generation other than ef_generation are stale.
Oops in ef_write() when a stale copy is written back.
Really belongs there, because it manipulates empfile[].
New ef_open_view() to replace ef_init_view(). Make ef_close() cope
with views, and remove ef_fina_view(). Make ef_extend() and
ef_truncate() oops on views.
Xundump had special hackery to maintain configuration tables'
sentinels: xubody() and getobj() added a sentinel element when
initializing or growing a table, which xubody() stripped off again
before returning. The latter was an unclean hack.
Replace this by building knowledge of sentinels into struct empfile:
new flag EFF_SENTINEL, set for the appropriate members of empfile[],
obeyed by ef_extend() and ef_truncate().
Change ef_close() to log ep->file instead of ep->name, to match
ef_open().
Fix ef_extend() to log ep->name instead of ep->file, which could be
null. Also fix ef_ensure_space()'s function comment. Both broken in
commit 2eb8672b.
ef_truncate()'s error logging lacked detail when ef_realloc_cache()
failed, fix.
This oopses on output dependency violations, e.g. two threads doing a
read-modify-write without synchronization, or the one thread nesting
several read-modify-writes. Such bugs are difficult to spot, and tend
to be abusable. I figure we have quite a few of them.
New struct emptypedstr member seqno. Make sure all members of unit
empobj_storage share it. Initialize it in files: main() and
file_sct_init(). Set it in ef_blank() and new ef_set_uid() by calling
new get_seqno(). Use ef_set_uid() when copying objects: swaps(),
doland(), doship(), doplane(), dounit(), delete_old_news(). Step it
in ef_write() by calling new new_seqno().
Factor do_read() out of fillcache() to make it available for
get_seqno().
Commit f33b96b1 (v4.3.12) made files again set timestamps. That was
intentionally suppressed in commit 990eb46b (v4.3.10), because it
facilitates attacks against the PRNG. Commit 8f98e53a (v4.3.0) had
added it as a feature.
Fix by making files's main() pass new flag EFF_NOTIME to ef_open().
Implement the flag in do_write().
do_write() sets the timestamp from a parameter. All callers pass
time(), and don't use that value themselves. Call time() in do_write
and remove the parameter.
Commit f33b96b1 made ef_flush(), ef_write() and ef_extend() update
timestamps automatically. Change ef_write() and ef_extend() to do
that even when table is privately mapped, by making do_write() cope
with privately mapped tables. Current users don't care, but it's a
saner interface.
Certain tables have a fixed size depending on configuration: EF_SECTOR
has WORLD_SZ() elements, EF_NATION, EF_MAP and EF_BMAP have MAXNOC
elements, and EF_REALM has MAXNOC * MAXNOR elements. Bad things
happen if the files backing them are shorter.
Pass expected size to ef_open(), and make it fail when the actual size
differs.
New struct emptypedstr to avoid depending on empobj.h there.
Remove now superfluous manual initializations elsewhere.
This doesn't fix any missing initializations.
ef_extend() extended the file bypassing the cache, which screws up the
cache if it's EFF_MEM. It fixed that by closing and reopening the
table. Cheesy, and worked only for file-backed tables.
Rewrite ef_extend() to remap the cache properly for EFF_MEM. While
there, simplify the !EFF_MEM case: steal a cache slot instead of
allocating a buffer.
Factor cache mapping out of ef_open() and ef_extend() into new
ef_realloc_cache().
Read-only was a bit of a misnomer: you could write to the table by
obtaining a pointer into it from ef_ptr(), you just couldn't write to
the backing file.
Semantic changes:
* ef_flush() is now allowed when the table is file-backed or privately
mapped. Before, it had to be file-backed. Flushing a privately
mapped table does nothing, just like flushing a read-only table did.
* ef_write() is now allowed when the table is file-backed or fully
cached. Before, it had to be file-backed and not read-only.
Writing to a privately mapped file-backed table doesn't write to the
file.
* ef_extend() is not implemented for privately mapped tables, just
like it wasn't implemented for read-only tables.
Split ef_init() into two functions: empfile_init() for initialization,
and empfile_fixup() to fix it up for configuration. Put them next to
empfile[]. Move the call to empfile_init() from behind emp_config()
to before it.
