busybox wget hands TLS to ssl_client over a socketpair and then does
shutdown(SHUT_WR). That cut the AF_UNIX link both ways, so ssl_client's
reply was a SIGPIPE and every https:// download hung. SHUT_WR is now a
half-close: the peer reads EOF and can still answer. TCP sockets get
shutdown() at all (tcp_shutdown for the FIN); it used to do nothing.
- exec keeps ignored signals and the signal mask, as execve(2) says.
- /proc/<pid>/fd: a link per descriptor -- the path it was opened by,
socket:[n], pipe:[n], anon_inode:[eventpoll]. /proc/self too. The
global inode bit moves above pid << 8; at 0x10000 it was /proc/256.
- fstat on a socket or pipe answers S_IFSOCK / S_IFIFO instead of EINVAL.
- poll, select and epoll wake as soon as a pipe, socket or input device
changes, not on the next tick.
- Pipes are 64 KB of lazily allocated pages, copied in blocks, with
PIPE_BUF atomicity: 300 MB through `yes | head | wc` in 7 s.
