Globally installed modules require a globally installed libunit.
The "binding_pub.gyp" file is the correct version, otherwise linked module
may have unresolved symbols because libunit is not linked.
This variant will be more interoperable across various systems
and it's already used in Ruby module.
Otherwise, configure tests fail on NetBSD with:
gcc: Missing argument for -Wl,-rpath
Now it's possible to disable default bind mounts of
languages by setting:
{
"isolation": {
"automount": {
"language_deps": false
}
}
}
In this case, the user is responsible to provide a "rootfs"
containing the language libraries and required files for
the application.
An attempt to build a Ruby module for a custom Ruby installation that has the
same major version as the system Ruby may unexpectedly cause the use of the
system Ruby library.
This closes#449 issue on GitHub.
Since the introduction of rootfs feature, some language modules
can't be configured multiple times.
Now the configure generates a separate nxt_<module>_mounts.h for
each module compiled.
Some PPAs for Ubuntu package PHP with versions like:
7.2.28-3+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
But the script expected only "X.Y.Z".
The issue was introduced in:
http://hg.nginx.org/unit/rev/2ecb15904ba5
The process abstraction has changed to:
setup(task, process)
start(task, process_data)
prefork(task, process, mp)
The prefork() occurs in the main process right before fork.
The file src/nxt_main_process.c is completely free of process
specific logic.
The creation of a process now supports a PROCESS_CREATED state. The
The setup() function of each process can set its state to either
created or ready. If created, a MSG_PROCESS_CREATED is sent to main
process, where external setup can be done (required for rootfs under
container).
The core processes (discovery, controller and router) doesn't need
external setup, then they all proceeds to their start() function
straight away.
In the case of applications, the load of the module happens at the
process setup() time and The module's init() function has changed
to be the start() of the process.
The module API has changed to:
setup(task, process, conf)
start(task, data)
As a direct benefit of the PROCESS_CREATED message, the clone(2) of
processes using pid namespaces now doesn't need to create a pipe
to make the child block until parent setup uid/gid mappings nor it
needs to receive the child pid.
The "return" action can be used to immediately generate a simple HTTP response
with an arbitrary status:
{
"action": {
"return": 404
}
}
This is especially useful for denying access to specific resources.
For each request, the worker calls the php_execute_script function
from libphp that changes to the script directory before doing its
work and then restores the process directory before returning. The
chdir(2) calls it performs are unnecessary in Unit design. In simple
benchmarks, profiling shows that the chdir syscall code path (syscall,
FS walk, etc.) is where the CPU spends most of its time.
PHP SAPI semantics requires the script to be run from the script
directory. In Unit's PHP implementation, we have two use cases:
- script
- arbitrary path
The "script" configuration doesn't have much need for a working
directory change: it can be changed once at module initialization.
The module needs to chdir again only if the user's PHP script also
calls chdir to switch to another directory during execution.
If "script" is not used in Unit configuration, we must ensure the
script is run from its directory (thus calling chdir before exec),
but there's no need to restore the working directory later.
Our implementation disables mandatory chdir calls with the SAPI
option SAPI_OPTION_NO_CHDIR, instead calling chdir only when needed.
To detect the user's calls to chdir, a simple "unit" extension is
added that hooks the built-in chdir() PHP call.
Temporary file name with configure process PID used to download
JAR from external repository. Then file renamed using command 'mv'.
The issue reproduced in clean environment when 2 or more concurrent builds
started.
The setuid/setgid syscalls requires root capabilities but if the kernel
supports unprivileged user namespace then the child process has the full
set of capabilities in the new namespace, then we can allow setting "user"
and "group" in such cases (this is a common security use case).
Tests were added to ensure user gets meaningful error messages for
uid/gid mapping misconfigurations.
