Proposal: changing the default bug status (from 'UNCONFIRMED' to 'NEW')
by Austin English May 22, 2024

May 22, 2024

Howdy all, Currently, unprivileged users have their bugs set to 'UNCONFIRMED' by default (while privileged users have the option of 'UNCONFIRMED'/'NEW'/'ASSIGNED'). As a general rule, no one seems to care if a bug is confirmed ('NEW') or not. This often leads to confusion for users (for example recently, [1]), who think that because their bug is 'UNCONFIRMED', it won't get attention. Because this distinction is useless, I'd like to propose that we make a few changes to Bugzilla: * change the default status for newly submitted bugs to 'NEW' (here: https://bugs.winehq.org/editworkflow.cgi) * do a bulk status update of existing bugs from 'UNCONFIRMED' to 'NEW' * disable the 'UNCONFIRMED' status (here: https://bugs.winehq.org/editproducts.cgi?action=edit&product=Wine) Thoughts/concerns?

It's what I'm trying to define there, a single bit of state that's either contended or not. It acts broadly like an eventfd, in that you can wake (write) or wait (read), but without the distinction of having different nonzero values in the internal counter. You could also think of it as a semaphore with a maximum count of one. However, unlike a semaphore it also supports the "pulse" operation, and you can also have "manual-reset" events that *don't* change state when you wait on them (no equivalent for regular semaphores). > > Unless specified otherwise, all operations on an object are atomic and > > totally ordered with respect to other operations on the same object. > > > > Objects are represented by files.

I think that would have been fine, and I could still change it accordingly. The reason I didn't do that was that [1] advises against it (although I don't know why).

No, NT calls it "release" (and the operation on a mutex is also "release" rather than "unlock".) I called it "post" after POSIX semaphores, on the idea that it'd be more familiar to a Unix developer (and shorter). I see I was wrong, so I'll rename it to "release". > > NTSYNC_IOC_MUTEX_UNLOCK > > > > Release a mutex object.

Supposedly their kernel is even coded such that if a waiting thread gets hit by an interrupt that the pulse will go unnoticed, although I've tried to reproduce this in practice and been unsuccessful. But of course it's terrible regardless, because you never know if your thread is waiting or not. In practice it seems to usually be used on a timer, though, so that part doesn't matter as much. > > NTSYNC_IOC_READ_SEM > > > > Read the current state of a semaphore object.

Seems like a waste to have them. Yes, mostly so I could reuse the existing structures. On the other hand if there's no reason not to return fds from the create ioctls, then we could just remove those members. > > NTSYNC_IOC_KILL_OWNER > > > > Mark a mutex as unowned and abandoned if it is owned by the given > > owner.

Again the advice about "only return zero from an ioctl", too.

There's no documented guarantee in either case, but when testing in controlled well-ordered environments, NtWaitForMultipleObjects() always acquires the lowest index first, and I think wakes are FIFO. I'm not really sure why I specified the guarantee for the former but not the latter. > > The "alert" argument is an "extra" event which can terminate the > > wait, independently of all other objects.

This almost seems to imply that at > [A] above we can indeed guarantee the lowest indexed object is acquired > first. It's definitely legal in NT to pass the same object more than once (in wait-for-any, not wait-for-all though), and it's definitely the case that (at least in controlled well-ordered environments) the lowest index is acquired first. I don't know of any application that definitely depends on either of these, and they're not documented behaviours, but Wine has implemented those behaviours and it would make me nervous to break them here. The part about passing the same event in "alert" and "objs" is not part of NT exactly (in NT the "alert" isn't even an event; it's a special bit of thread state; we just use an event for simplicity). I think I specified it just to avoid coding an extra check (since it should Just Work), while also making it clear that case was considered. > > The function may fail with EINTR if a signal is received. > > In which case @index must be disregarded since nothing will be acquired, > right? > > So far nothing really weird, and I'm thinking futexes should be able to > do all this, no? Even disregarding wait-for-all, futexes aren't really good enough. Wait operations need to consume state, and while we could put that state in user space (and in fact we *do* have an out of tree patch set that kind of does this) that requires all that state to be shared across processes, which is a problem since we want processes to be isolated unless they explicitly share objects with each other. There's not a scalable way to achieve this, especially since you can share objects lazily. You also cannot do NtPulseEvent() this way. The aforementioned patch set badly emulates it and it does in practice break any application that uses it. Similarly there are some applications that do a weird "fake pulse" where they set and then immediately reset an event from the same thread, and expect that to always wake.

Does /dev/ntsync exist (module is loaded) and have nonzero permissions? I forgot to mention that's necessary, sorry. Otherwise I can try to look at an strace, or a Wine debug log. I don't think there's an easy way to get the latter with Lutris, but something like `WINEDEBUG=+all ./wine winecfg 2>log` should work.

Hi for curiosity, how did you get these ? (clang ?) (for the record, dbghelp doesn't generate yet prologue & epilogue tagging in dwarf debug info (it's done for pdb)) A+

Re: Fwd: Bumping the minimum supported macOS version
by Tim Clem April 28, 2024

April 28, 2024

I would prefer 10.15 in particular so we could drop support for native (i.e. macho) 32-bit binaries. That would allow us to use modern Obj-C runtime features (e.g. auto-synthesis) and eventually consider ARC. It's also worth noting that winehq's gitlab CI runs 10.15.

Upcoming vkd3d 1.12 release
by Henri Verbeet April 24, 2024

April 24, 2024

Hi all, The planned release date for vkd3d 1.12 is May 28. The development branch will become increasingly frozen as we're nearing that date, starting with a freeze of the public API after April 30. Features will be frozen after May 14. If you're an upstream vkd3d developer, please do the following: - Keep an eye on Bugzilla for any reported regressions. - Review any API changes since the previous release. - Verify all the vkd3d tests pass on your hardware, and please send fixes if they don't. - Review and improve the documentation. - Apply your best judgment about which patches are appropriate for the current stage of the release process. If you're a downstream user of vkd3d, please test your applications for regressions, and file bug reports if you find any. If you're the maintainer of a Wine module that (indirectly) depends on vkd3d, like e.g. d2d1, d3dx9, d3dcompiler, or any of the core Direct3D modules, that includes making sure the unit tests still pass with the new version. The planned release date for vkd3d 1.13 is August 29. Regards, Henri
