* random: Make Mt19937's `mode` field an enum
* random: Reorder the `php_random_status_state_mt19937` struct
Empirical testing did not show any differences in performance, but it makes
sense to me to put the `count` field (which is accessed for every invocation of
Mt19937) at the beginning of the struct, keeping it near the values from the
state array that are returned first, resulting in only a single cache line load
if only a small amount of numbers are requested.
It naturally follows to also put the `mode` field there and move the
humongous state array to the end.
* random: Remove the `MT_N` constant
`MT_N` is an awfully generic name that bleeds into every file including
`php_random.h`. As it's an implementation detail, remove it entirely to keep
`php_random.h` clean.
To prevent the state struct from diverging from the implementation, the size of
the state vector is statically verified. Furthermore there are phpt tests
verifying the Mt19937 output across a reload, revealing when the state vector
is reloaded too early or too late.
These are always dynamically allocated in GINIT, thus always take up memory. By
embedding them here we can avoid the dynamic allocation and additional pointer
indirection accessing them.
The test script:
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 9999999; $i++) mt_rand(1, 100);
Appears to run slightly faster with this change applied: Before this change it
always ran in just over 3 seconds, after this change I was also seeing times
below 3 seconds. Howver results are too close and too jittery to state this
performance improvement as a fact.
* Get rid of inverted NULL checks
As the dbh pointer is already used in address computation,
the NULL checks is redundant. Looking at the callers
there are no cases where this can be passed as NULL.
* Message can't be NULL here
* Remove null check for return_value
As one of the branches dereferences return_value unconditionally, the
NULL check is dubious. In fact, looking at the callers we see that
return_value can never be NULL. So remove the check and fix the comment.
the man page states `the locale facet is determined by the category argument, which should be
one of the LC_xxx constants defined in the <locale.h> header, excluding LC_ALL`,
since the 0.22.5 release, sanity checks had been strenghtened leading to
an abort with the Zend/tests/arginfo_zpp_mismatch.phpt test setting the
category to 0 which is LC_ALL on macOs.

The character set ID included in the handshake data at the time of connection
actually only includes the lower 8 bits of the ID, so if try to use this to specify
a character set, the corresponding character set may not exist.
In case of an invalid character set, the default character set is now used
without an error.

- Moved curl_version()['feature_list'] to New Features
- Moved NumberFormatter::ROUND_HALFODD to New Features
- Removed contributor names (this pattern only used in the `NEWS` file)
- Removed "Fixed setAttribute and getAttribute" as it is covered in another change record
The CombinedLCG is a terrible RNG with a questionable API and should ideally
not be used anymore. While in the case of ext/session it is only used for
probabilistic garbage collection where the quality of the RNG is not of
particular importance, there are better choices.
Replace the RNG used for garbage collection by an ext/session specific instance
of PcgOneseq128XslRr64. Its 16 Byte state nicely fits into the memory freed up
by the previous reordering of the session globals struct, even allowing to the
storage of the php_random_algo_with_state struct, making using the RNG a little
nicer.
Instead multiplying the float returned by the CombinedLCG by the GC Divisor to
obtain an integer between 0 and the divisor we can just use `php_random_range`
to directly generate an appropriate integer, completely avoiding the floating
point maths, making it easier to verify the code for correctness.
The FFI_* calling conventions are enum constants and AC_CHECK_DECL(S)
can be used to check for their existence in the ffi.h header. This
simplifes the checks and adds a simple AC_CHECK_DECL macro wrapper which
defines the HAVE_FFI_* belonging symbols.
There's a test that tries to make /etc world-writable, and asserts that
it fails. Although this test is guarded by a root user check, there are
situations where you don't need to be root to be able to do this.
This may thus have unwanted effects on your live filesystem.
The simple solution is to remove that part of the test. It doesn't
really add value anyway: we're trying to test the chmod error path, but
that exact same error path can be reached with any failure condition
that the kernel gives. For example, trying to chmod a non-existent file
will trigger the same code path.
While at it, also prefix the test path for the non-existent file such
that we don't accidentally modify the filesystem.
The chroot now has a better root-user check, that will not modify the
filesystem.
Other root-modifying mkdir tests were removed because they added no
value either.
Closes GH-13566.
This moves memfd_create (HAVE_MEMFD_CREATE) to configure.ac. Since
ext/pcre is always enabled and check can be done in this case for
ext/pcre and ext/opcache at once.
This prepends -lnetwork as needed (Haiku) whether linker sees the
setsockopt function and avoids defining redundant symbols, such as
HAVE_LIBNETWORK and HAVE_SETSOCKOPT.
PHP 8.1 and below interpreted unknown modes as `MT_RAND_MT19937`, but PHP 8.2+
interprets them as `MT_RAND_PHP`.
Align the behavior with PHP 8.1 and below, because folks should be steered
towards the standard mode.
* random: Expose xoshiro256**'s seeding functions
* random: Expose pcgoneseq128xslrr64's seeding functions
* random: Expose Mt19937's seeding functions
* random: Expose CombinedLCG's seeding functions
* random: Call php_random_mt19937_seed32 to seed the global Mt19937
This avoids the function pointer indirection and improves type safety.
* random: NULL the generic seeding function
Different engines work quite differently, it is not useful to attempt to seed
them in a generic way using a 64 bit integer. As an example Mt19937 completely
ignores the upper 32 bits.
* random: Remove the `seed` member from `php_random_algo`
See the explanation in the previous commit for the reasoning. This member is
unused since the previous commit and was not consistently available even before
that (specifically for the Secure engine).
* UPGRADING.INTERNALS
* random: Remove useless cast in `php_mt_srand()`
