XFCE artık gerçekten açılıyor, ayrıca #67 ve #69 (1.27.5.1)
Telegram'dan gelen ekran görüntüsünde XFCE "Unable to contact settings server. The connection is closed" diyordu. XFCE'yi laboratuvarda kurup baştan sona çalıştırdım, arka arkaya dört ayrı sorun çıktı:
D-Bus oturum servisi bağlanan her programı reddediyordu. Cortex'te programlar kendini root görüyor ama çekirdek soketin karşı ucundaki programın gerçek Android kullanıcısını söylüyor, dbus-daemon ikisini karşılaştırıp bağlantıyı kapatıyordu. Hook artık SO_PEERCRED ve gelen SCM_CREDENTIALS için programın kendini gördüğü kimliği gösteriyor
Dosya türü veritabanı hiç oluşmuyordu (paket kurulumunda update-mime-database boş çalışıyor). GTK onsuz tek ikon yükleyemediği için panel hemen kapanıyor, masaüstü siyah kalıyordu. cortex-desktop kurulumda ve başlangıçta gerçek araçla oluşturuyor
Panelin PulseAudio eklentisi yüklenmiyordu. dlopen ile yüklenen bir kütüphanenin bağımlılığının kendi RUNPATH'i takip edilmiyordu (libpulse.so.0 ve libpulsecommon)
Masaüstü her başladığında eski pulseaudio kapanmıyordu. pulseaudio --kill süreç adına bakıyor, Cortex'te süreçler ld.so olarak göründüğü için bulamıyordu
PHP built-in server fails with "Cannot create lock - Permission denied" under Cortex #69 php -S "Cannot create lock - Permission denied" ile kapanıyordu. PHP opcache kilidini memfd'de tutuyor, Android'in SELinux kuralları uygulamaya memfd kilitleme izni vermiyor. Reddedilen kilit artık hook'un kendi isimsiz dosyasında alınıyor, fork edilen çocuklar da aynı dosyayı paylaşıyor. Emülatör testine gerçek Android'de memfd kilitleyen bir kontrol eklendi
Ayrıca XFCE ilk açılışta compositor kapalı başlıyor, SVG ikon yükleyici kuruluyor, hata raporuna masaüstünün logu ekleniyor ve CI'da runner'ın aynası çözülmezse Ubuntu'nun kendi arşivi kullanılıyor (iki çalışma üst üste o yüzden kaldı)
… notifications, zstd; 1.26.38
- Sessions: kept in files/sessions (directories from /proc/PID/cwd, the end of the
output) on each change and when Cortex goes to the background, and started again
after Android ended the app or for an update; Cortex's own exit forgets them.
Settings > Sessions turns it off.
- ~/.cortex/keys: rows of keys of the user's own (names, symbols, text, LABEL=KEY),
parsed by ExtraKeysLayout, reloaded when the file is saved, the bar as high as
its rows; ~/.cortex/keys.example. KeyMapper: F1-F12 and xterm's Ctrl forms of
the cursor and editing keys.
- Two fingers change the text size (6-36 sp), kept in the font size setting.
- cortex-sshd: Ubuntu's OpenSSH on port 8022 (own sshd_config.d drop-in, host keys,
keys, start with Cortex), also from Settings > Remote access in a new session;
cortex-api network for the addresses.
- Local web servers: the hook reports listen() in run/cortex/listening/PORT;
LocalServers shows a notification (open, copy link) once the port answers HTTP,
with /proc/net/tcp for programs the hook does not see, and removes it when the
server ends.
- cortex-backup keeps the packages installed with apt and other vendors' apt
sources; restore installs the missing ones after asking.
- The bootstrap is a .tar.zst, stored as it is in the APK and decompressed by the
native extractor (zstd 1.5.7's decoder, BSD).
- CI: actions on Node 24 pinned to commits, Dependabot; the emulator test on the
16 KB page size image (a skip without ARM translation) and with checks of the
restored session, an SSH login and the server notification; a nightly package
compatibility run with the latest release.

… checksum
zstd stores data that does not compress as it is; only the frame's checksum at the
end covers it, and zstd checks it when it gets there. The extractor stopped at the
archive's end marker, so whether the checksum was read depended on where the last
read ended: on CI a damaged archive extracted without an error. After the end marker
the rest of the stream is now read, and an incomplete or damaged one fails.
A call of ZSTD_decompressStream with nothing left to read answers that it expects a
new frame; only calls that read or produced something now count for whether the last
frame is complete.
The native test reproduces it: random data damaged in its middle, with a megabyte
that does not compress after the end marker (it extracted before, it fails now).

The 16 KB page emulator refused the runner the test builds with the host's
gcc (its segments were aligned for 4 KB pages): every ARM program's exec
failed with EINVAL and the process was killed, before the test could start.

The extractor decompressed and wrote the files one after the other; before
1.26.38 the APK's inflate ran beside it, on the thread that feeds it the
asset. On the API 30 emulator (32-bit ARM, translated) unpacking took 66%
longer than the runs before. A thread now decompresses into a pipe (1 MB
where Android allows it) that the extractor reads as a plain tar; at the end
the extractor reads the stream to its end and the thread's result says
whether every frame was complete and undamaged. When the extractor stops
early, closing its end stops the thread at its next write (SIGPIPE is
blocked on it).
Host benchmark, 123 MB of Python's libraries on tmpfs: 345 ms before,
290 ms now (a plain tar: 218 ms). TSan and ASan find nothing in the cases of
the native test (complete, damaged, cut, stopped early; file and pipe).
The native test adds an extraction that stops at a refused entry while the
decoder still has 4 MB for it: it fails and does not hang.

The hook answers 0 for getuid() and maps the app's uid to root in passwd
lookups, but stat() gave the app's real uid as the owner of the files the
programs made. Programs that compare the two refused them: git ("detected
dubious ownership" in every repository), tmux (its socket directory had
"unsafe permissions"), ssh ("Bad owner" for ~/.ssh/config) and sshd
("/run/sshd must be owned by root", which the emulator test showed).
stat, lstat, fstat, fstatat and statx now give root for the app's user and
group; other owners stay as they are.
Checked with the hook built for the host, as a user other than root: stat,
ls, Python, Perl and git see the user's files as root's; with the hook
before, git says "dubious ownership". The native test checks the mapping
and a file through the stat hook; the emulator test checks test -O, -G and
stat -c %u:%g on a new file.
cortex-sshd installs openssh-server without what it recommends: systemd's
login and resolver (whose package made /etc/resolv.conf a link to a resolver
that does not run), python3 for ssh-import-id and xauth.

…e for
bionic makes accept4 for both, and Android's seccomp filter for apps is made
from what bionic calls. On the x86_64 emulator a translated accept()
answered with its system call number (43) as the new descriptor: sshd failed
every connection with "fcntl(43, F_GETFL): Bad file descriptor" and the
client waited until its timeout. Perl, Python and nginx call accept4
themselves, so the emulator test's web server worked.
Checked on the host with a seccomp filter that refuses plain accept (as
Android's may): without the hook accept() fails with EPERM, with it the
descriptor is valid, without close-on-exec, and the peer's address is set.

On the 16 KB image the test did not end at E2E_TIMEOUT: the waiting loop
and the diagnostics ran adb commands without a limit, and the job ran on to
its own limit. Each adb command now has one (60 s, 300 s for the
diagnostics' shell, 120 s for pulls).
The 16 KB image's run spun for 49 minutes in apt's first update (a child of
apt-key at 100% CPU that never ran its program, its parent waiting in
clone). E2E_NO_APT leaves out the checks that install packages there (apt,
hello, python3, the SSH server) as SKIP lines, so that the rest of Cortex is
tested on 16 KB pages within the time.

With connections accepted, sshd's unprivileged part ended each of them:
after dropping to the sshd user it checks that it cannot take root back,
and the hook's setgid() pretends to succeed ("permanently_set_uid: was
able to restore old [e]gid"). Cortex cannot drop privileges at all, so
getpwnam("sshd") now gives uid and gid 0, from /etc/passwd as well as from
the hook's own entry; sshd then skips the check, as with apt's sandbox user
(APT::Sandbox::User "root"). Other users keep their ids.
The native test checks getpwnam and getpwnam_r for sshd, from the built-in
entry and from the C library's result.

Ubuntu builds with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3: a call whose buffer size the compiler
knows becomes __getgroups_chk (or __recvfrom_chk), which glibc implements
itself, past the hook. sshd asked the hook for the number of groups (1) and
then the kernel for the list into a buffer of one, which failed with EINVAL
for the app's several groups: "getgroups: Invalid argument" ended each
login after the key exchange. Both checked variants now keep glibc's check
(__chk_fail) and then take the hook's function. recvfrom is the only other
function the hook replaces that has one.
Reproduced on the host with a program built with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, run with
four supplementary groups: with the hook before, "getgroups(1): Invalid
argument"; now "1 of 1, first 0".

PR #27's emulator run reset the SSH client's connection: sshd's process for
it died in Android's ARM translator ("mmap_posix.cc: CHECK failed" in
CreateMemfdBackedMapOrDie, a tombstone in logcat). sshd's sandbox sets
RLIMIT_NOFILE to 1 and RLIMIT_FSIZE to 0 on its unprivileged part before
login, and the translator needs a new descriptor for a memory file whenever
it translates more code: it depends on the code run, so the dry run before
passed. Like the sandbox's seccomp filter, which the hook already refuses,
these limits (NOFILE below 16, FSIZE 0) are now accepted without being set;
other limits are set as asked. setrlimit64 is the same function on 64-bit
systems.
Checked on the host: with the limits sshd sets, a program dies of SIGXFSZ
on its next write; with the hook it opens and writes a file, and a NOFILE
of 512 is still set.

… file open
PR #27's emulator run failed again, earlier: the main sshd process aborted
in Android's ARM translator at start ("mmap_posix.cc: CHECK failed").
sshd calls closefrom(3), which closed the memory file the translator keeps
at descriptor 3 for its translated code (cortex-api avoids it since 1.26.37);
the translator aborts when it next needs it, which depends on the code run.
glibc's closefrom() makes the close_range system call itself, past the
hook's close_range().
When the hook starts in a translated process (/proc/self/exe is
ndk_translation's or houdini's runner), it notes the memory files open
then; close(), close_range() and closefrom() now leave those out (the parts
around them are closed; close-on-exec only changes nothing for them).
Phones that run ARM code themselves have none, and nothing changes there.
The native test checks the ranges around kept descriptors. Checked on the
host with a program named like the translator, started with a memory file
at 3: closefrom(3), close_range and close(3) leave it open and close the
others.

The run after the last commit aborted in the same place: the hook did not
find the translator's file. ndk_translation shows a program its own path as
/proc/self/exe, so the check for a translator's runner never matched in it.
The memory file is now known by the name ndk_translation gives it
("/memfd:child"); in a process whose executable is a translator's runner
(houdini) any memory file open at start still counts.
Checked on the host: a program started with a "child" memory file at 3,
under any name, keeps it through closefrom(3), close_range and close(3); one
of another name is closed as before.

So that the run shows whether the ARM translator's memory file is visible

A Go program built without cgo makes its own system calls, so the preloaded
hook is never loaded into it: /etc/resolv.conf was a file of Android's that
does not exist (names did not resolve), and so was every program it starts.
Before such a program (AArch64, Go 1.19 or newer) starts, the hook now changes
its file in place, once:
- code (gosys/gosys.c, freestanding and position-independent, built by
scripts/build-gosys.sh) is put after the program's code, in the padding the
Go linker leaves between segments; the segment is made longer;
- zero-filled scratch memory for it is added to the data segment;
- the "svc #0" of internal/runtime/syscall.Syscall6, the one place Go makes
its calls, becomes a branch to it.
The code maps absolute paths into the rootfs by the hook's own rules, shortens
Unix socket paths the same way, shows getcwd and /proc/self/exe as the
program expects, and starts the rootfs's programs through ld.so and bash with
the hook loaded (argv[0] kept), giving Android's programs their own
environment. A newer Cortex compares the code in the file with its own and
replaces it (the trailer says what to undo); the marker of a prepared program
has the rootfs and a fingerprint of the code.
tests/scripts/test_go_programs.sh builds a Go program for arm64, a root file
system of Ubuntu's own arm64 bash and the cross C library, and runs it with
qemu-user: what it sees, what it starts, that the patch is made once and
replaced by a newer one, Go 1.19 to 1.23. The emulator test runs the program
on a real Ubuntu rootfs too.

…ore color schemes
Everything around the terminal now takes its colors from the terminal's own
color scheme (view/Chrome.kt): bars a little darker than the terminal, keys and
cards a little lighter, one accent (the scheme's bright blue), text that is
moved just far enough to read on every surface of a scheme with little
contrast. Choosing Nord changes the keys as much as the text, and the status
and navigation bars follow.
- A strip of tabs above the terminal (view/SessionTabsView.kt): one tab for
each session, named after the directory its shell is in, the one on screen
in the accent with a close button, and a button for a new session. Settings >
Session tabs turns it off.
- The drawer: the app's mark and name, session cards with their number, the
directory of the shell and the ROOT badge, a filled New session button.
- The keys: flat rounded keys in the scheme's colors, monospace, sinking a
little under the finger; CTRL and ALT light up in the accent.
- Search bar, links, selection handles and search hits in the scheme's colors.
- Seven more color schemes: Solarized Dark, Monokai, Rose Pine, Everforest,
GitHub Dark, Ayu Mirage and a pure black one for OLED screens.

In root mode the programs run in a chroot of the rootfs, where the real paths are
Ubuntu's and the rootfs's own path (which the added code maps into) does not exist. The
code now looks once for each process whether it is there and, where it is not, maps
nothing, so a program patched earlier works as any other. The test moves the rootfs
away and runs a patched program.

…mulator test; keys bar height includes its padding; settings accent colors
CORTEX_NO_GOSYS=1 takes the added code out of a Go program and adds none, so a program can be
run as it was built. The emulator test runs that control first: a program that does not run
even as built (the translator's limit) is no fault of the patch.
The keys bar was 80dp for two rows of 40dp plus 3dp padding on each side, which clipped the
bottom row; its height now comes from ExtraKeysView.barHeightDp.

- DT_RPATH goes before LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DT_RUNPATH after it, and the rootfs
defaults (exported by Cortex's shells, absent on Linux) after both, so a
library a program keeps for itself wins over one of the same name in
/usr/lib.
- $ORIGIN entries are expanded from the program's real path and keep their
place among the absolute ones.
- Program headers and dynamic entries are read in pieces, so their number no
longer matters; a RUNPATH longer than the probe keeps its whole entries.
Tests: order, RPATH precedence, $ORIGIN, a crafted ELF with 50 program
headers and 200 DT_NEEDED entries before DT_RUNPATH, a truncated RUNPATH.
…1.27.1
- cortex-desktop installs a light Openbox desktop or XFCE (and Firefox from
Mozilla's apt repository), runs Ubuntu's Xvnc on a private Unix socket with
PulseAudio piped to the app, and the app's Desktop screen shows it: RFB client,
touch and touchpad input, keyboard and key bar, clipboard both ways, sound,
resize on rotation, zoom. Menu button and Settings > Desktop, 50 languages.
- The hook reads /etc/ld.so.conf(.d) and hands its folders to the loader, also
for direct ld.so calls (ldd), and preloads the RUNPATH dependencies of
dlopen()ed libraries.
- SysV shared memory (shmget/shmat/shmdt/shmctl) emulated with files, so X
programs get MIT-SHM.
- SCM_CREDENTIALS carry the real ids (PulseAudio clients were cut off).
- Tests: native, qemu hook, Kotlin unit, shell (cortex-desktop against a
stand-in X server) and an emulator check of Xvnc under the hook.
….cache, atomic shm key, IPC_SET
- ld.so --library-path DIR PROGRAM: the caller's path stays, the program is
still mapped into the rootfs (when it is there)
- the intercepted ldconfig touches the rootfs /etc/ld.so.cache, so an edit
of a .conf file is read again by every process after it
- a SysV shm key file appears whole (temp file renamed with RENAME_NOREPLACE)
- IPC_SET keeps the new mode, a NULL buffer is EFAULT
- tests for these; the SCM_CREDENTIALS test compares the received ids
- xdg-open and the browser names (firefox, chromium...) run Ubuntu's own
program on the desktop when one is installed; cortex-desktop install lets
update-alternatives replace Cortex's /usr/bin links
- cortex-desktop: one start/stop at a time (flock), pids checked by name
before they are signalled, stop waits for the old server, a session that
ends at once is an error, a running X server without its desktop gets a new
one, an X server that does not come up is stopped, --size without a value is
refused, remove only takes away what install added and stops when apt fails
- SysV shm: SHM_INFO clears its own structure, sizes that overflow are refused,
ids differ between calls, addresses in use need SHM_REMAP, every attach has a
table slot, a failed key write leaves no key behind
- dlopen fallback: its directory list starts empty; ld.so started directly is
prepared like other static programs; SCM_CREDENTIALS records are bounds-checked
- Desktop screen: secure screen setting, a failed handshake closes its socket,
the handshake has a time limit, a stale attempt never replaces the client,
composing input methods replace their text, the size and the clipboard asked
for before negotiation are sent after it
- tests: Xvnc isolation arguments, session restart and failure, PulseAudio
stubbed, pending resize; the emulator check keeps a user's desktop alone
…ark half a system installed; 1.27.2
On a Xiaomi phone with Android 17 the bootstrap archive read through
AssetManager came out damaged (zstd "corruption detected"), the extraction
stopped half way and the app marked the system installed anyway: every session
ended with "libtinfo.so.6: cannot open shared object file".
- the archive is read from the APK file (ZipFile) and checked against the CRC
the APK records; AssetManager, also checked, is the second way
- an extraction that leaves the shell, apt, dpkg's status or libc/libtinfo
missing fails the install, and such a system counts as not installed, so the
one 1.27.1 left behind is extracted again
- bug report: page size and missing essentials
- drawer: the desktop is a monitor icon left of the update check
The size and date of ~/.cortex/font.ttf are part of the font cache key,
so a file copied in or replaced is loaded when Cortex comes back to the
front. Also bumps gradle/actions/setup-gradle to v6.4.1.
…udio is stopped
- the peer of a Unix socket (SO_PEERCRED, received SCM_CREDENTIALS) is shown
as the user programs see for themselves: dbus-daemon closed every connection
and XFCE stopped at "Unable to contact settings server"
- cortex-desktop builds the databases of file types and of the programs that
open them (GTK loads no icon without the first: XFCE's panel ended at once)
- dlopen() finds what a dependency keeps in its own RUNPATH, also for a library
asked for by name (libpulse.so.0 and libpulsecommon)
- the desktop's PulseAudio is tracked by its pid and socket and stopped with it
- XFCE starts with the compositor off; librsvg2-common is installed

Summary
Desktop databases and session setup app/src/main/assets/scripts/cortex-desktop.sh, tests/scripts/test_shell_scripts.sh
The script adds SVG icon support, refreshes MIME and desktop-entry databases, sets XFCE defaults when no user configuration exists, and exports NO_AT_BRIDGE=1. Tests cover database refresh and XFCE startup settings.
The script tracks PulseAudio by PID, waits for its socket, and stops tracked or stale processes during startup and shutdown. Tests check process and socket cleanup.
The dependency preloader resolves dependencies through loader search directories and RUNPATH/RPATH, generates loader configuration, and retries failed dlopen calls for relative and absolute targets. QEMU tests cover transitive dependencies and loading by name.
The socket hooks translate matching UID and GID values in received SCM_CREDENTIALS and SO_PEERCRED results. Tests check received and peer credentials.
Symlink threshold documentation and tests app/src/main/cpp/hook/paths.c, tests/native/test_cortex_native.c
Comments describe target-length thresholds, and native tests check threshold cases. The implementation thresholds remain unchanged.

Summary
CI package installation scripts/ci-apt-install.sh, .github/workflows/build-release.yml
The workflow uses a new apt helper for package installation. The helper retries apt operations and switches to the Ubuntu archive if configured sources fail.
ssfuisu/cortex#61: The issue reports XFCE startup failure, a missing library, and the need for desktop log diagnostics. This PR changes desktop startup, library lookup, and bug-report logging.
ssfuisu/cortex#65: The reported missing libgiolibproxy.so relates to this PR's library dependency lookup and desktop startup changes.
Possibly related PRs
ssfuisu/cortex#26: This PR adds desktop state and recent desktop-log content to the existing bug-report flow.
ssfuisu/cortex#59: This PR extends the same BugReport behavior with desktop status and log content.
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 06734
The memfd lock fallback can hang child processes, lose locks, or let two processes hold the same lock, which affects PHP opcache and similar users. On 32-bit ARM, credential translation may be bypassed, so D-Bus clients could still be rejected. Resolve the memfd issues before merging; the remaining findings are minor.

Explanation
[#67] exec_probe.c collects absolute RUNPATH directories and refreshes zz-cortex-runpath.conf during ldconfig handling. tests/scripts/test_hook_qemu.sh covers transitive RUNPATH lookup and discovery of a library installed after cache generation. The PR also reports that the real fio package runs. [#69] memfd_locks.c provides fcntl, fcntl64, and flock fallbacks on hook-owned files under /tmp. The shadow descriptor is inherited by forked children. The QEMU tests cover denied memfd locks, parent-child visibility, unlock behavior, and flock.

Review comments at @app/src/main/assets/scripts/cortex-desktop.sh:
- Line 130: Update the cache invalidation check around the `.desktop` search
using `dir` and `cache` so it detects additions and removals as well as newer
file modification times. Regenerate the cache whenever the source directory’s
entries differ from the cached inventory, including when a new file’s mtime
predates the cache.
- Line 332: Update the PulseAudio startup timeout branch around STATE/pulse.pid
so it does not discard the PID while the child may still be running: stop and
reap the child before removing the PID, or retain ownership and handle late
socket readiness so the session can use the server.
- Around line 303-304: Update the PulseAudio shutdown wait after the
socket-matched `pkill` so it checks for all processes using
`module-native-protocol-unix socket=$STATE/pulse.sock`, not only the PID
returned by `pid_is`. Start the replacement server only after those processes
have exited, including legacy processes without a `pulse.pid`.
Review comments at @app/src/main/cpp/hook/exec_probe.c:
- Line 673: Update rewrite_path so relative paths containing a slash are
resolved against the current directory for dependency inspection, while
preserving the caller’s original target for orig_dlopen. Add a QEMU test that
exercises dlopen with a relative plugin path and verifies nested RUNPATH
dependency handling.
- Around line 648-650: Update dependency selection around find_in_lib_dirs and
dlopen_preload_deps_in to resolve the candidate in the effective loader search
order before preloading its children, so a RUNPATH copy cannot take precedence
over a matching library-path copy. Preserve the distinct DT_RPATH ordering and
use the selected dependency consistently for child preloading and loading.
- Line 601: Update the helper’s two-call dlinfo sequence for RTLD_DI_SERINFOSIZE
and RTLD_DI_SERINFO so it never iterates entries using a potentially stale
Dl_serinfo count or passes an uninitialized entry to strlen. Establish a way to
obtain and validate the current search-directory list despite concurrent loader
changes; a mutex used only within this helper is insufficient.
Review comments at @app/src/main/cpp/hook/sockets.c:
- Around line 269-270: Update the recvmmsg handling around the CMSG_FIRSTHDR
loop to inspect each returned message and apply the existing SCM_CREDENTIALS UID
mapping to its credentials, matching the behavior used for other receive paths.
- Line 210: Update the credential mapping around the cred->uid check using
CORTEX_NR_REAL_GETUID and getuid() so static Go clients’ EXTERNAL UID matches
the UID observed by the bus. Preserve the existing mapped-credential behavior
for other clients; establish a reliable distinction before applying any
client-specific handling.
Review comments at @app/src/main/java/org/cortex/terminal/BugReport.kt:
- Line 93: Update the desktop log loading path around readOrNull so it reads
only a bounded byte tail rather than loading the entire file, then selects the
last 300 lines from that tail. Preserve the existing null handling and establish
an appropriate byte limit so large logs cannot exhaust the app heap during
report generation.
- Line 95: Update the report-sharing flow that includes desktopLog via lastLines
to clearly warn users that the log may contain sensitive information and let
them review or omit it before sharing. Preserve the existing report content when
users choose to include the log.

…details
- a dependency is looked for in ld.so's order (DT_RPATH, the library path,
DT_RUNPATH), and a relative dlopen() path is read from the directory the
program is in
- the search list of dlinfo() is read into zeroed memory and checked
- credentials received with recvmmsg() are shown like those of recvmsg()
- the database of programs is built at every start of the desktop (a file
dpkg unpacks keeps its date), the file types when their directory changed
- PulseAudio: all of the old ones are gone before the socket is removed, one
that makes no socket is stopped
- the bug report reads only the end of the desktop's log
dlopen bağımlılığı artık ld.so'nun sırasıyla aranıyor (DT_RPATH, kütüphane yolu, DT_RUNPATH), iki yerde de olan kütüphanede yanlış kopya yüklenmiyor
göreli yolla dlopen("./plugins/x.so") da bağımlılıklarına bakıyor, qemu testine eklendi
dlinfo listesi sıfırlanmış belleğe okunuyor ve her isim sınır içinde mi diye bakılıyor
recvmmsg ile gelen kimlikler de recvmsg gibi gösteriliyor
program veritabanı her başlangıçta yeniden kuruluyor (dpkg dosyanın tarihini paketteki gibi bırakıyor), dosya türleri için dizinin tarihi yetiyor
eski pulseaudio süreçlerinin hepsi bitmeden soket silinmiyor
soket açmayan pulseaudio durduruluyor
hata raporu masaüstü logunun sadece son 256 KB'ını okuyor
İkisini bırakıyorum:
statik Go istemcilerinin D-Bus kimliği: bu değişiklikten önce de reddediliyorlardı. Bus kendini uid 0 görüyor ve sadece kendi kullanıcısını kabul ediyor, hook'suz bir istemci gerçek uid ile geliyordu. Yani bir gerileme yok, onları da kabul ettirmek ayrı bir iş
logun paylaşmadan önce gösterilmesi: rapor zaten kullanıcının kendi seçtiği uygulamayla gönderdiği bir metin dosyası, göndermeden önce açıp bakabiliyor. İçine giren şey X sunucusunun ve masaüstü oturumunun yazdıkları
…dlinks
- the directories that libraries name in their RUNPATH are collected when
ldconfig runs (and when the list is missing) into a file of
/etc/ld.so.conf.d: fio found no libceph-common.so.2 (#67)
- a lock that Android refuses on a memfd is taken on a file of the hook's own,
shared with forked children: php -S ended at "Cannot create lock" (#69)
- lstat() reads a link a second time only when it can lead into
/etc/alternatives: from outside /etc that takes 19 characters (#66)
- CI: Ubuntu's archive when the runner's mirror does not resolve;
actions/setup-java 6.2.0
- the emulator test locks a memfd

Review comments at @app/src/main/cpp/hook/exec_probe.c:
- Around line 1099-1102: Update the cache-miss flow around
runpath_conf_missing() and runpath_conf_refresh() so a failed refresh does not
trigger a full library scan in every new process; establish a reliable failure
marker or skip automatic refresh when the configuration directory cannot be
written, and invalidate that suppression when ldconfig changes the relevant
state. Preserve refresh behavior when it can succeed and keep ldconf_signature()
consistent with the resulting cache state.
- Around line 665-670: The recursive dependency walk in dlopen_preload_deps_in
revisits shared libraries reached through different dependency paths. Add a
visited set shared across the recursive walk, keyed by a stable file identity
such as device/inode or real path; pass it alongside the existing search state,
and skip candidates already recorded before processing or recursing into them.
Review comments at @app/src/main/cpp/hook/memfd_locks.c:
- Line 77: Update the g_memfd_locks slot-replacement path so it never closes or
evicts a shadow that may hold a process-owned record lock; grow the mapping or
fail the new lock attempt before replacing the slot, preserving existing locks.
- Line 67: Replace the descriptor-number-only lookup in the g_memfd_locks
matching logic with a stable memfd identity and shadow mechanism that descriptor
aliases and processes can both reach, preserving exclusive locking across them.
Add a test that forks before either process first locks the memfd and verifies
the processes cannot both acquire the exclusive lock.
- Line 149: Update both fcntl wrappers in memfd_locks.c to dispatch commands
that take no third argument before reading the variadic list. For commands with
arguments, read each as the appropriate integer or pointer type, and preserve
existing command handling.
- Around line 97-99: Update the memfd lock lifecycle around g_memfd_locks so
closing a memfd releases its associated shadow mapping and fallback record lock,
including when closed through close_range. Track descriptor aliases so the
shadow remains open while any alias remains, and preserve the existing native
record-lock behavior, which releases locks on close.
- Line 60: Make shadow-table access safe across fork by coordinating fork with
updates protected by g_memfd_locks_lock, ensuring the child can use the
inherited lock and shadow descriptors. Add a concurrent-fork test that verifies
a child’s memfd fcntl lookup, including F_SETLK, completes without hanging.
Review comments at @app/src/main/cpp/hook/paths.c:
- Line 168: Update the length gate in the lstat path so noncanonical link paths
that postprocess_readlink normalizes are not skipped when their normalized
target meets the processing threshold. Account for the removable path components
when evaluating the target length, while preserving the existing behavior for
canonical paths.
Review comments at @app/src/main/cpp/hook/sockets.c:
- Line 281: Extend the socket hook exports and wrappers around
received_creds_as_seen_here to cover __recvmsg64, __recvmmsg64, and
__getsockopt64 so these calls receive the same credential translation as their
existing counterparts. Preserve each symbol’s ABI, especially the timeout
parameter ABI for __recvmmsg64, and validate the armhf path.
Review comments at @tests/scripts/test_hook_qemu.sh:
- Around line 741-743: In the test code, split the two flock calls into separate
statements so LOCK_EX runs before LOCK_UN, then print their saved results. Split
the fcntl call from its errno check, save errno immediately after the call, and
use that saved value when printing the bad-fd result.

…, CI mirror
- the lock of a memfd is on /tmp/.cortex-memfd-locks/INODE: processes forked
before the first lock and other descriptors of the memfd reach the same
file; no mutex (a fork could leave it held); closing the memfd gives the
locks up; a full table refuses instead of dropping a lock
- libraries are loaded without RTLD_DEEPBIND: PHP's extensions called libc
past the hook, so the opcache lock was never reached
- __getsockopt64, __recvmsg64, __recvmmsg64 and __fcntl_time64 on 32-bit
(Ubuntu's armhf packages have a 64-bit time_t)
- the dlopen walk reads each library once; the list of RUNPATH directories
is not looked for where it cannot be written; a link path with .. or //
keeps the old length rule
- CI: kernel.org's mirror when Ubuntu's archive does not resolve either
memfd kilidi artık memfd'nin inode'una göre adlandırılan dosyada (/tmp/.cortex-memfd-locks/INODE). İlk kilitten önce fork eden süreçler ve aynı memfd'nin başka tanımlayıcıları aynı dosyaya ulaşıyor
tabloyu mutex korumuyor, atomik işlemlerle doluyor. Başka bir thread kilidi tutarken fork edilince çocukta takılma kalmıyor
tablo dolunca canlı bir kilidi düşürmek yerine yeni kilit reddediliyor
memfd kapatılınca kilitleri bırakılıyor, gerçek dosyada olduğu gibi
32-bit time64 adları: bunlar zaten yakalanıyormuş. armhf derlemesi 64-bit time_t ile yapıldığı için başlıklar getsockopt, recvmsg, recvmmsg ve fcntl'ı kendiliğinden __getsockopt64, __recvmsg64, __recvmmsg64 ve __fcntl_time64 adlarıyla dışa veriyor (ayrıca tanımlayınca derleme çift tanım hatası verdi, 1290602'de geri aldım). Değişen tek şey çağrının aynı adlı asıl fonksiyona iletilmesi. qemu-arm altında 32-bit hook ile memfd ve kimlik testleri geçiyor
dlopen yürüyüşü her kütüphaneyi bir kere okuyor
RUNPATH listesi yazılamayacak yerde (ld.so.conf.d yok ya da yazılamıyor) her süreçte yeniden taranmıyor
.. ya da // içeren link yollarında eski uzunluk kuralı geçerli
testte çağrılar ayrı satırlarda, erken fork ve kapatma durumları eklendi
İncelemede olmayan bir şey de çıktı: PHP eklentilerini RTLD_DEEPBIND ile yüklüyor, bu yüzden opcache'in fcntl çağrısı hook'a hiç gelmiyordu. dlopen artık bu bayrağı kaldırıyor, testi de var
Birini bırakıyorum:
fcntl'da üçüncü argümanın her zaman okunması: glibc'nin kendi fcntl'ı da tam olarak böyle yapıyor (va_arg ile pointer olarak okuyup çekirdeğe geçiriyor). Komuta göre ayırmak hook'un bilmediği her yeni komutta yanlış davranma riski getirir
The armhf build has a 64-bit time_t, so getsockopt(), recvmsg(), recvmmsg()
and fcntl() here are __getsockopt64, __recvmsg64, __recvmmsg64 and
__fcntl_time64 already, and fcntl64 is the same function as fcntl: the
definitions added for them were defined twice. A call is passed on to the
function of the same name.

Sonra açık issue'lar:
Ayrıca XFCE ilk açılışta compositor kapalı başlıyor, SVG ikon yükleyici kuruluyor, hata raporuna masaüstünün logu ekleniyor ve CI'da runner'ın aynası çözülmezse Ubuntu'nun kendi arşivi kullanılıyor (iki çalışma üst üste o yüzden kaldı)
