Add complementary macros to ISC_LIST_FOREACH(_SAFE) that walk the lists
in reverse.
* ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV(list, elt, link) - walk the static list from
tail to head
* ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV_SAFE(list, elt, link, next) - walk the list
from tail to head in a manner that's safe against list member
deletions
In units that support detailed reference tracing via ISC_REFCOUNT
macros, we were doing:
/* Define to 1 for detailed reference tracing */
#undef <unit>_TRACE
This would prevent using -D<unit>_TRACE=1 in the CFLAGS.
Convert the above mentioned snippet with just a comment how to enable
the detailed reference tracing:
/* Add -D<unit>_TRACE=1 to CFLAGS for detailed reference tracing */
Instead of copying address back and forth when hashing addr+port, we can
use incremental hashing. Additionally, switch from 64-bit
isc_hash_function to 32-bit isc_hash32() as the resulting value is
32-bit.
The Unix Domain Sockets support in BIND 9 has been completely disabled
since BIND 9.18 and it has been a fatal error since then. Cleanup the
code and the documentation that suggest that Unix Domain Sockets are
supported.
Instead of high number of dispatches (4 * named_g_udpdisp)[1], make the
dispatches bound to threads and make dns_dispatchset_t create a dispatch
for each thread (event loop).
This required couple of other changes:
1. The dns_dispatch_createudp() must be called on loop, so the isc_tid()
is already initialized - changes to nsupdate and mdig were required.
2. The dns_requestmgr had only a single dispatch per v4 and v6. Instead
of using single dispatch, use dns_dispatchset_t for each protocol -
this is same as dns_resolver.
Looking up unique message ID in the dns_dispatch has been using custom
hash tables. Rewrite the custom hashtable to use cds_lfht API, removing
one extra lock in the cold-cache resolver hot path.
Refactor isc_hashmap to allow custom matching functions. This allows us
to have better tailored keys that don't require fixed uint8_t arrays,
but can be composed of more fields from the stored data structure.
Add support for incremental hashing to the isc_hash unit, both 32-bit
and 64-bit incremental hashing is now supported.
This is commit second in series adding incremental hashing to libisc.
When inserting items into hashtables (hashmaps), we might have a
fragmented key (as an example we might want to hash DNS name + class +
type). We either need to construct continuous key in the memory and
then hash it en bloc, or incremental hashing is required.
This incremental version of SipHash 2-4 algorithm is the first building
block.
As SipHash 2-4 is often used in the hot paths, I've turned the
implementation into header-only version in the process.
This commit extends the internal memory management middleware code in
BIND so that memory contexts backed by dedicated jemalloc arenas can
be created. A new function (isc_mem_create_arena()) is added for that.
Moreover, it extends the existing code so that specialised memory
contexts can be created easily, should we need that functionality for
other future purposes. We have achieved that by passing the flags to
the underlying jemalloc-related calls. See the above
isc_mem_create_arena(), which can serve as an example of this.
Having this opens up possibilities for creating memory contexts tuned
for specific needs.
Use the new isc_mem_c*() calloc-like API for allocations that are
zeroed.
In turn, this also fixes couple of incorrect usage of the ISC_MEM_ZERO
for structures that need to be zeroed explicitly.
There are few places where isc_mem_cput() is used on structures with a
flexible member (or similar).
Add new isc_mem_cget(), isc_mem_creget(), and isc_mem_cput() macros to
complement the isc_mem_callocate() (which works like calloc()).
The overflow checks are implemented as macros in the <isc/mem.h>, so
that the compiler can see that the element size is constant: it should
always be `sizeof(something)`.
Before calling isc_buffer_putmem(), there is a condition to check
that 'buf_size' is greater than 0. At this point 'buf_size' is
guaranteed to be greater than zero, so either the condition is
redundant, or 'unprocessed_size' should be checked instead, which
seems more logical, because calling isc_buffer_putmem() with
'unprocessed_size' being zero is not useful, although harmless.
The isc_dnsstream_assembler_incoming() inline function expects that
when 'buf_size' is zero, then 'buf' must be NULL. The expectation is
not correct, because those values come from the libuv read callback,
and its documentation notes[1] that 'nread' ('buf_size' here) might
be 0, which does not indicate an error or EOF, but is equivalent to
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK under read(2).
Change the isc_dnsstream_assembler_incoming() inline function to
remove the invalid expectation.

There used to be an extra layer of indirection in the memory functions
for certain dynamic linking scenarios. This involved variant spellings
like isc__mem and isc___mem. The isc___mem variants were removed in
commit 7de846977b so the token pasting is no longer needed and
only serves to obfuscate.
The SET_IF_NOT_NULL() macro avoids a fair amount of tedious boilerplate,
checking pointer parameters to see if they're non-NULL and updating
them if they are. The macro was already in the dns_zone unit, and this
commit moves it to the <isc/util.h> header.
I have included a Coccinelle semantic patch to use SET_IF_NOT_NULL()
where appropriate. The patch needs an #include in `openssl_shim.c`
in order to work.
With ThreadSanitizer support added to the Userspace RCU, we no longer
need to wrap the call_rcu and caa_container_of with
__tsan_{acquire,release} hints. Remove the direct calls to
__tsan_{acquire,release} and the isc_urcu_{container,cleanup} macros.
The cds_lfht_for_each_entry and cds_lfht_for_each_entry_duplicate macros
had a code that operated on the NULL pointer, at the end of the list it
was calling caa_container_of() on the NULL pointer in the init-clause
and iteration-expression, but the result wasn't actually used anywhere
because the cond-expression in the for loop has prevented executing
loop-statement. This made AddressSanitizer notice the invalid operation
and rightfully complain.
This was reported to the upstream and fixed there. Pull the upstream
fix into our <isc/urcu.h> header, so our CI checks pass.
The isc_stats_create() can no longer return anything else than
ISC_R_SUCCESS. Refactor isc_stats_create() and its variants in libdns,
libns and named to just return void.
to reduce the amount of common code that will need to be shared
between the separated cache and zone database implementations,
clean up unused portions of dns_db.
the methods dns_db_dump(), dns_db_isdnssec(), dns_db_printnode(),
dns_db_resigned(), dns_db_expirenode() and dns_db_overmem() were
either never called or were only implemented as nonoperational stub
functions: they have now been removed.
dns_db_nodefullname() was only used in one place, which turned out
to be unnecessary, so it has also been removed.
dns_db_ispersistent() and dns_db_transfernode() are used, but only
the default implementation in db.c was ever actually called. since
they were never overridden by database methods, there's no need to
retain methods for them.
in rbtdb.c, beginload() and endload() methods are no longer defined for
the cache database, because that was never used (except in a few unit
tests which can easily be modified to use the zone implementation
instead). issecure() is also no longer defined for the cache database,
as the cache is always insecure and the default implementation of
dns_db_issecure() returns false.
for similar reasons, hashsize() is no longer defined for zone databases.
implementation functions that are shared between zone and cache are now
prepended with 'dns__rbtdb_' so they can become nonstatic.
serve_stale_ttl is now a common member of dns_db.
As well as clearing the fresh memory, `calloc()`-like functions must
ensure that the count and size do not overflow when multiplied.
Use `isc_mem_callocate()` in `isc__uv_calloc()`.
The `ISC_OVERFLOW_XXX()` macros are usually wrappers around
`__builtin_xxx_overflow()`, with alternative implementations
for compilers that lack the builtins.
Replace the overflow checks in `isc/time.c` with the new macros.
The isc_result_t enum was to sparse when each library code would skip to
next << 16 as a base. Remove the huge holes in the isc_result_t enum to
make the isc_result tables more compact.
This change required a rewrite how we map dns_rcode_t to isc_result_t
and back, so we don't ever return neither isc_result_t value nor
dns_rcode_t out of defined range.
In some cases, the inlined version rcu_dereference() would not compile
when working on pointer to opaque struct (namely Ubuntu Jammy). Detect
such condition in the autoconf and disable the inlining of the small
functions if it breaks the build.
Move registration and deregistration of the main thread from
`isc_loopmgr_run()` into `isc__initialize()` / `isc__shutdown()`:
liburcu-qsbr fails an assertion if we try to use it from an
unregistered thread, and we need to be able to use it when the
event loops are not running.
Use `rcu_assign_pointer()` and `rcu_dereference()` in qp-trie
transactions so that they properly mark threads as online. The
RCU-protected pointer is no longer declared atomic because
liburcu does not (yet) use standard C atomics.
Fix the definition of `isc_qsbr_rcu_dereference()` to return
the referenced value, and to call the right function inside
liburcu.
Change the thread sanitizer suppressions to match any variant of
`rcu_*_barrier()`
All the places the qp-trie code was using `call_rcu()` needed
`__tsan_release()` and `__tsan_acquire()` annotations, so
add a couple of wrappers to encapsulate this pattern.
With these wrappers, the tests run almost clean under thread
sanitizer. The remaining problems are due to `rcu_barrier()`
which can be suppressed using `.tsan-suppress`. It does not
suppress the whole of `liburcu`, because we would like thread
sanitizer to detect problems in `call_rcu()` callbacks, which
are called from `liburcu`.
The CI jobs have been updated to use `.tsan-suppress` by
default, except for a special-case job that needs the
additional suppressions in `.tsan-suppress-extra`.
We might be able to get rid of some of this after liburcu gains
support for thread sanitizer.
Note: the `rcu_barrier()` suppression is not entirely effective:
tsan sometimes reports races that originate inside `rcu_barrier()`
but tsan has discarded the stack so it does not have the
information required to suppress the report. These "races" can
be made much easier to reproduce by adding `atexit_sleep_ms=1000`
to `TSAN_OPTIONS`. The problem with tsan's short memory can be
addressed by increasing `history_size`: when it is large enough
(6 or 7) the `rcu_barrier()` stack usually survives long enough
for suppression to work.
It can be fairly long-winded to allocate space for a struct with a
flexible array member: in general we need the size of the struct, the
size of the member, and the number of elements. Wrap them all up in a
STRUCT_FLEX_SIZE() macro, and use the new macro for the flexible
arrays in isc_ht and dns_qp.
The isc_quota API was using locked list of isc_job_t objects to keep the
waiting TCP accepts. Change the isc_quota implementation to use
cds_wfcqueue internally - the enqueue is wait-free and only dequeue
needs to be locked.
The isc_async API was using lock-free stack (where enqueue operation was
not wait-free). Change the isc_async to use cds_wfcqueue internally -
enqueue and splice (move the queue members from one list to another) is
nonblocking and wait-free.
Instead of having a global hashtable with a global rwlock for the GLUE
cache, move the glue_list directly into rdatasetheader and use
Userspace-RCU to update the pointer when the glue_list is empty.
Additionally, the cached glue_lists needs to be stored in the RBTDB
version for early cleaning, otherwise the circular dependencies between
nodes and glue_lists will prevent nodes to be ever cleaned up.
Clang 16 LeakSanitizer reports a memory leak when dns_request_create()
returned a TLS error in the nsupdate system test. While technically a
memory leak on error handling, it's not a problem because the program is
immediately terminated; nsupdate is not expected to run for a prolonged
time.
All the per-loop `libuv` setup remains in `isc_loop`, but the per-thread
RCU setup is moved to `isc_thread` alongside the other per-thread setup.
This avoids repeating the per-thread setup for `call_rcu()` helpers,
and explains a little better why some parts of the per-thread setup
is missing for `call_rcu()` helpers.
This also removes the per-loop `call_rcu()` helpers as we refactored the
isc__random_initialize() in the previous commit.
Remove the `isc_threadarg_t` and `isc_threadresult_t`
typedefs which were unhelpful disguises for `void *`,
and free the dummy jemalloc allocation sooner.
When liburcu is not installed from a system package, its headers are
not treated as system headers by the compiler, so BIND's -Werror and
other warning options take effect. The liburcu headers have a lot
of inline functions, some of which do not use all their arguments,
which BIND's build treats as an error.
This commit allows BIND 9 to be compiled with different flavours of
Userspace RCU, and improves the integration between Userspace RCU and
our event loop:
- In the RCU QSBR, the thread is put offline when polling and online
when rcu_dereference, rcu_assign_pointer (or friends) are called.
- In other RCU modes, we check that we are not reading when reaching the
quiescent callback in the event loop.
- We register the thread before uv_work_run() callback is called and
after it has finished. The rcu_(un)register_thread() has a large
overhead, but that's fine in this case.
There's a recurring pattern walking the ISC_LISTs that just repeats over
and over. Add two macros:
* ISC_LIST_FOREACH(list, elt, link) - walk the static list
* ISC_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE(list, elt, link, next) - walk the list in
a manner that's safe against list member deletions
The spinlock is small (atomic_uint_fast32_t at most), lightweight
synchronization primitive and should only be used for short-lived and
most of the time a isc_mutex should be used.
Add a isc_spinlock unit which is either (most of the time) a think
wrapper around pthread_spin API or an efficient shim implementation of
the simple spinlock.
When shutting down TCP sockets, the read callback calling logic was
flawed, it would call either one less callback or one extra. Fix the
logic in the way:
1. When isc_nm_read() has been called but isc_nm_read_stop() hasn't on
the handle, the read callback will be called with ISC_R_CANCELED to
cancel active reading from the socket/handle.
2. When isc_nm_read() has been called and isc_nm_read_stop() has been
called on the on the handle, the read callback will be called with
ISC_R_SHUTTINGDOWN to signal that the dormant (not-reading) socket
is being shut down.
3. The .reading and .recv_read flags are little bit tricky. The
.reading flag indicates if the outer layer is reading the data (that
would be uv_tcp_t for TCP and isc_nmsocket_t (TCP) for TLSStream),
the .recv_read flag indicates whether somebody is interested in the
data read from the socket.
Usually, you would expect that the .reading should be false when
.recv_read is false, but it gets even more tricky with TLSStream as
the TLS protocol might need to read from the socket even when sending
data.
Fix the usage of the .recv_read and .reading flags in the TLSStream
to their true meaning - which mostly consist of using .recv_read
everywhere and then wrapping isc_nm_read() and isc_nm_read_stop()
with the .reading flag.
4. The TLS failed read helper has been modified to resemble the TCP code
as much as possible, clearing and re-setting the .recv_read flag in
the TCP timeout code has been fixed and .recv_read is now cleared
when isc_nm_read_stop() has been called on the streaming socket.
5. The use of Network Manager in the named_controlconf, isccc_ccmsg, and
isc_httpd units have been greatly simplified due to the improved design.
6. More unit tests for TCP and TLS testing the shutdown conditions have
been added.

In e185412872, the TCP accept quota code
became broken in a subtle way - the quota would get initialized on the
first accept for the server socket and then deleted from the server
socket, so it would never get applied again.
Properly fixing this required a bigger refactoring of the isc_quota API
code to make it much simpler. The new code decouples the ownership of
the quota and acquiring/releasing the quota limit.
After (during) the refactoring it became more clear that we need to use
the callback from the child side of the accepted connection, and not the
server side.
The isc_tid() function is often called on the hot-path and it's the only
function is to return thread_local variable, make the isc_tid() function
a header-only to save several function calls during query-response
processing.
This commit optimises isc_dnsstream_assembler_t in such a way that
memory copying and reallocation are avoided when receiving one or more
complete DNS messages at once. We try to handle the data from the
messages directly, without storing them in an intermediate memory
buffer.
The `isc_histosummary_t` functions were written in the early days of
`hg64` and carried over when I brought `hg64` into BIND. They were
intended to be useful for graphing cumulative frequency distributions
and the like, but in practice whatever draws charts is better off with
a raw histogram export. Especially because of the poor performance of
the old functions.
The replacement `isc_histo_quantiles()` function is intended for
providing a few quantile values in BIND's stats channel, when the user
does not want the full histogram. Unlike the old functions, the caller
provides all the query fractions up-front, so that the values can be
found in a single scan instead of a scan per value. The scan is from
larger values to smaller, since larger quantiles are usually more
interesting, so the scan can bail out early.
Although an `isc_histo_t` is thread-safe, it can suffer
from cache contention under heavy load. To avoid this,
an `isc_histomulti_t` contains a histogram per thread,
so updates are local and low-contention.
This is an adaptation of my `hg64` experiments for use in BIND.
As well as renaming everything according to ISC style, I have
written some more extensive tests that ensure the edge cases are
correct and the fenceposts are in the right places.
I have added utility functions for working with precision in terms of
decimal significant figures as well as this code's native binary.
Cleanup the remnants of MS Compiler bits from <isc/refcount.h>, printing
the information in named/main.c, and cleanup some comments about Windows
that no longer apply.
The bits in picohttpparser.{h,c} were left out, because it's not our
code.
When fatal is called we may be holding memory allocated by OpenSSL.
This may result in the reference count for the FIPS provider not
going to zero and the shared library not being unloaded during
OPENSSL_cleanup. When the shared library is ultimately unloaded,
when all remaining dynamically loaded libraries are freed, we have
already destroyed the memory context we where using to track memory
leaks / late frees resulting in INSIST being called.
Disable triggering the INSIST when fatal has being called.
The `isc_trampoline` module had a lot of machinery to support stable
thread IDs for use by hazard pointers. But the hazard pointer code
is gone, and the `isc_loop` module now has its own per-loop thread
IDs.
The trampoline machinery seems over-complicated for its remaining
tasks, so move the per-thread initialization into `isc/thread.c`,
and delete the rest.
The isc_time_now() and isc_time_now_hires() were used inconsistently
through the code - either with status check, or without status check,
or via TIME_NOW() macro with RUNTIME_CHECK() on failure.
Refactor the isc_time_now() and isc_time_now_hires() to always fail when
getting current time has failed, and return the isc_time_t value as
return value instead of passing the pointer to result in the argument.
The isc_fsaccess API was created to hide the implementation details
between POSIX and Windows APIs. As we are not supporting the Windows
APIs anymore, it's better to drop this API used in the DST part.
Moreover, the isc_fsaccess was setting the permissions in an insecure
manner - it operated on the filename, and not on the file descriptor
which can lead to all kind of attacks if unpriviledged user has read (or
even worse write) access to key directory.
Replace the code that operates on the private keys with code that uses
mkstemp(), fchmod() and atomic rename() at the end, so at no time the
private key files have insecure permissions.
As it's impossible to get the current umask without modifying it at the
same time, initialize the current umask at the program start and keep
the loaded value internally. Add isc_os_umask() function to access the
starttime umask.
Instead of marking the unused entities with UNUSED(x) macro in the
function body, use a `ISC_ATTR_UNUSED` attribute macro that expans to
C23 [[maybe_unused]] or __attribute__((__unused__)) as fallback.
Use C23 attribute styles if available:
* Add new ISC_ATTR_UNUSED attribute macro that either expands to C23's
[[maybe_unused]] or __attribute__((__unused__));
* Add default expansion of the `noreturn` to [[noreturn]] if available;
* Move the FALLTHROUGH from <isc/util.h> to <isc/attributes.h>
Previously, isc_job_run() could have been used to run the job on the
current loop and the isc_job_run() would take care of allocating and
deallocating the job. After the change in this MR, the isc_job_run()
is more complicated to use, so we introduce the isc_async_current()
macro to suplement isc_async_run() when we need to run the job on the
current loop.
Change the isc_job_run() to not-make any allocations. The caller must
make sure that it allocates isc_job_t - usually as part of the argument
passed to the callback.
For simple jobs, using isc_async_run() is advised as it allocates its
own separate isc_job_t.
It's sometimes helpful to get a quick idea of the call stack when
debugging. This change factors out the backtrace logging from named's
fatal error handler so that it's easy to use in other places too.
when isc_nm_listenstreamdns() is called with a local port of 0,
a random port is chosen. call uv_getsockname() to determine what
the port is as soon as the socket is bound, and add a function
isc_nmsocket_getaddr() to retrieve it, so that the caller can
connect to the listening socket. this will be used in cases
where the same process is acting as both client and server.
ISC_REFCOUNT_TRACE_IMPL uses isc_tid(), but the corresponding header
file is not included, which breaks, for example, compiling BIND with
DNS_CATZ_TRACE defined in lib/dns/include/dns/catz.h.
Add '#include <isc/tid.h>' in lib/isc/include/isc/refcount.h.
This "quiescent state based reclamation" module provides support for
the qp-trie module in dns/qp. It is a replacement for liburcu, written
without reference to the urcu source code, and in fact it works in a
significantly different way.
A few specifics of BIND make this variant of QSBR somewhat simpler:
* We can require that wait-free access to a qp-trie only happens in
an isc_loop callback. The loop provides a natural quiescent state,
after the callbacks are done, when no qp-trie access occurs.
* We can dispense with any API like rcu_synchronize(). In practice,
it takes far too long to wait for a grace period to elapse for each
write to a data structure.
* We use the idea of "phases" (aka epochs or eras) from EBR to
reduce the amount of bookkeeping needed to track memory that is no
longer needed, knowing that the qp-trie does most of that work
already.
I considered hazard pointers for safe memory reclamation. They have
more read-side overhead (updating the hazard pointers) and it wasn't
clear to me how to nicely schedule the cleanup work. Another
alternative, epoch-based reclamation, is designed for fine-grained
lock-free updates, so it needs some rethinking to work well with the
heavily read-biased design of the qp-trie. QSBR has the fastest read
side of the basic SMR algorithms (with no barriers), and fits well
into a libuv loop. More recent hybrid SMR algorithms do not appear to
have enough benefits to justify the extra complexity.
the isc_glob module was originally needed to support posix-style glob
processing on Windows, but is now just an unnecessary wrapper around
glob(3). this commit removes it.
Add a singly-linked stack that supports lock-free prepend and drain (to
empty the list and clean up its elements). Intended for use with QSBR
to collect objects that need safe memory reclamation, or any other user
that works with adding objects to the stack and then draining them in
one go like various work queues.
In <isc/atomic.h>, add an `atomic_ptr()` macro to make type
declarations a little less abominable, and clean up a duplicate
definition of `atomic_compare_exchange_strong_acq_rel()`
removed references in code comments, doc/dev documentation, etc, to
isc_task, isc_timer_reset(), and isc_timertype_inactive. also removed a
coccinelle patch related to isc_timer_reset() that was no longer needed.
as there is no further use of isc_task in BIND, this commit removes
it, along with isc_taskmgr, isc_event, and all other related types.
functions that accepted taskmgr as a parameter have been cleaned up.
as a result of this change, some functions can no longer fail, so
they've been changed to type void, and their callers have been
updated accordingly.
the tasks table has been removed from the statistics channel and
the stats version has been updated. dns_dyndbctx has been changed
to reference the loopmgr instead of taskmgr, and DNS_DYNDB_VERSION
has been udpated as well.
change functions using isc_taskmgr_beginexclusive() to use
isc_loopmgr_pause() instead.
also, removed an unnecessary use of exclusive mode in
named_server_tcptimeouts().
most functions that were implemented as task events because they needed
to be running in a task to use exclusive mode have now been changed
into loop callbacks instead. (the exception is catz, which is being
changed in a separate commit because it's a particularly complex change.)
This changes the internal isc_rwlock implementation to:
Irina Calciu, Dave Dice, Yossi Lev, Victor Luchangco, Virendra
J. Marathe, and Nir Shavit. 2013. NUMA-aware reader-writer locks.
SIGPLAN Not. 48, 8 (August 2013), 157–166.
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1145/2517327.24425
(The full article available from:
http://mcg.cs.tau.ac.il/papers/ppopp2013-rwlocks.pdf)
The implementation is based on the The Writer-Preference Lock (C-RW-WP)
variant (see the 3.4 section of the paper for the rationale).
The implemented algorithm has been modified for simplicity and for usage
patterns in rbtdb.c.
The changes compared to the original algorithm:
* We haven't implemented the cohort locks because that would require a
knowledge of NUMA nodes, instead a simple atomic_bool is used as
synchronization point for writer lock.
* The per-thread reader counters are not being used - this would
require the internal thread id (isc_tid_v) to be always initialized,
even in the utilities; the change has a slight performance penalty,
so we might revisit this change in the future. However, this change
also saves a lot of memory, because cache-line aligned counters were
used, so on 32-core machine, the rwlock would be 4096+ bytes big.
* The readers use a writer_barrier that will raise after a while when
readers lock can't be acquired to prevent readers starvation.
* Separate ingress and egress readers counters queues to reduce both
inter and intra-thread contention.
Unfortunately, C still lacks a standard function for pause (x86,
sparc) or yeild (arm) instructions, for use in spin lock or CAS loops.
BIND has its own based on vendor intrinsics or inline asm.
Previously, it was buried in the `isc_rwlock` implementation. This
commit renames `isc_rwlock_pause()` to `isc_pause()` and moves
it into <isc/pause.h>.
This commit also fixes the configure script so that it detects ARM
yield support on systems that identify as `aarch*` instead of `arm*`.
On 64-bit ARM systems we now use the ISB (instruction synchronization
barrier) instruction in preference to yield. The ISB instruction
pauses the CPU for longer, several nanoseconds, which is more like the
x86 pause instruction. There are more details in a Rust pull request,
which also refers to MySQL making the same change:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/84725
removed some functions that are no longer used and unlikely to
be resurrected, and also some that were only used to support Windows
and can now be replaced with generic versions.
isc_bind9 was a global bool used to indicate whether the library
was being used internally by BIND or by an external caller. external
use is no longer supported, but the variable was retained for use
by dyndb, which needed it only when being built without libtool.
building without libtool is *also* no longer supported, so the variable
can go away.
