Eric,

Here's V2 of the patch, which I think should address all of the issues
you pointed out.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Subject: [PATCH] Add worker_exec configuration option

The worker_exec configuration option makes all worker processes
exec after forking.  This initializes the worker processes with
separate memory layouts, defeating address space discovery
attacks on operating systems supporting address space layout
randomization, such as Linux, MacOS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and
Solaris.

Support for execing workers is very similar to support for reexecing
the master process.  The main difference is the worker's to_i and
master pipes also need to be inherited after worker exec just as the
listening sockets need to be inherited after reexec.

Because execing working is similar to reexecing the master, this
extracts a couple of methods from reexec (listener_sockets and
close_sockets_on_exec), so they can be reused in worker_spawn.

* [PATCH] Add worker_exec configuration option

The worker_exec configuration option makes all worker processes
exec after forking.  This initializes the worker processes with
separate memory layouts, defeating address space discovery
attacks on operating systems supporting address space layout
randomization, such as Linux, MacOS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and
Solaris.

Support for execing workers is very similar to support for reexecing
the master process.  The main difference is the worker's to_i and
master pipes also need to be inherited after worker exec just as the
listening sockets need to be inherited after reexec.

We should nil @worker_nr in the normal case to avoid introducing
new warnings on uninitialized ivars.

Any particular reason setting @master_pid was moved to initialize?

Maybe we (or anybody else) has tests or other code which do:

	  foo = Unicorn::HttpServer.new ...
	  pid = fork do
	    foo.start.join
	  end

Which would be broken by the movement from start => initialize

Again, I don't consider this a stable API and don't want people
depending on our internals; but I will also avoid breaking
existing behavior whenever possible.

We can cram these two FDs into one UNICORN_WORKER_FD
comma-delimited variable like UNICORN_FD.  The underlying
getenv/setenv/putenv functions are all O(n), so keeping env
smaller would be nice.

And we can even avoid modifying ENV on Ruby 1.9+ by
using exec(env, cmd, options...) or even Process.spawn (see below)

Comment seems blindly copy+pasted, since before_exec does not
seem to exist, for this...

I suppose we should probably use Process.getrlimit, here,
maybe skip the loop entirely for Ruby 2.0.0+ (which made
close-on-exec the default).

This will be a separate patch...


Since there's no before_exec hook as with SIGUSR2, I think we
can do all of this setup in master and use Process.spawn instead
of fork+exec explicitly.  Process.spawn transparently allows the use
of vfork+exec to avoid fork overhead on some systems.

I guess it's time to update that comment, since 1.9.4 never

Please keep new code wrapped to 80 chars or less.  I'm still
using hardware that predates this project and my eyes will
only get worse with age.

I prefer the ternary operator for simple cases like this.  It is
more compact in terms of screen space and VM bytecode.  But this
may not be changed at all if we switch to using Process.spawn,
instead.

The rest looks fine.  Thanks.

Here's a patch to fix the stack depth issue:

From aa4914846a0870e5b01530a47d6dbfe09aeb39ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jeremy Evans <code@jeremyevans.net>
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2017 08:28:54 -0700
Subject: [PATCH] Don't pass a block for fork when forking workers

This reduces the stack depth, making GC more efficient.

Thanks. I'll be happy to help fix any OpenBSD failures you see
from "gmake check"  I don't think the accept_filter fixes apply
to OpenBSD, but I guess the expr(1) fix did.

Thank you.

Same goes for NetBSD, DragonflyBSD or any other completely
Free/Open Source OSes anybody else here uses.

Yes, please.

Not sure if we should automate the stack depth test...
I resisted it in the past since it might be too fragile
w.r.t changes to Ruby (even using "unicorn" via the
RubyGems-generated wrapper deepens it by 2).

Thanks again.

Thanks.  Pushed to git://80x24.org/unicorn worker_exec I can add
tests, later, or you can.  I also had some FreeBSD test fixes
(which might apply to OpenBSD) on a VM somewhere which I'll Cc:

I prefer to avoid the block with fork.  The block deepens the
stack for the running app, so it can affect GC efficiency.

Can be fixed in a separate patch...

Thanks, applied with some trailing whitespace fixups.

(I suggest enabling the pre-commit hook distributed with
 git in $GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-commit, it'll run "git diff-index --check ..."
 to check that)

Btw, you can omit the above line and replace it with "---8<---"
(no quotes) so the applier can use "git am --scissors".

Thanks.

The C test code also returns 8 on OpenBSD, FWIW.  I'm happy to test any
test fixes on OpenBSD, just let me know.

That makes sense.  If you would like me to send a separate patch to fix
it, I can do that.

Eric,

Thanks for your detailed review.  I will work on an updated patch and
try to send it tomorrow or Friday.
