The ATOMIC_*_LOCK_FREE can evalutate either 0, 1, or 2 which indicate the
lock-free property of the corresponding atomic types (both signed and unsigned).
Value Explanation
----- --------------------------------------
0 The atomic type is never lock-free
1 The atomic type is sometimes lock-free
2 The atomic type is always lock-free
----- --------------------------------------
While implementing the new unit testing framework cmocka, it was found that the
BIND 9 code doesn't compile when assertions are disabled or replaced with any
function (such as mock_assert() from cmocka unit testing framework) that's not
directly recognized as assertion by the compiler.
This made the compiler to complain about blocks of code that was recognized as
unreachable before, but now it isn't.
The changes in this commit include:
* assigns default values to couple of local variables,
* moves some return statements around INSIST assertions,
* adds __builtin_unreachable(); annotations after some INSIST assertions,
* fixes one broken assertion (= instead of ==)

Certain isc_buffer_*() functions might call memmove() with the second
argument (source) set to NULL and the third argument (length) set to 0.
While harmless, it triggers an ubsan warning:
runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 2, which is declared to never be null
Modify all memmove() call sites in lib/isc/include/isc/buffer.h and
lib/isc/buffer.c which may potentially use NULL as the second argument
(source) so that memmove() is only called if the third argument (length)
is non-zero.

4807. [cleanup] isc_rng_randombytes() returns a specified number of
bytes from the PRNG; this is now used instead of
calling isc_rng_random() multiple times. [RT #46230]
4768. [func] By default, memory is no longer filled with tag values
when it is allocated or freed; this improves
performance but makes debugging of certain memory
issues more difficult. "named -M fill" turns memory
filling back on. (Building "configure
--enable-developer", turns memory fill on by
default again; it can then be disabled with
"named -M nofill".) [RT #45123]
4762. [func] "update-policy local" is now restricted to updates
from local addresses. (Previously, other addresses
were allowed so long as updates were signed by the
local session key.) [RT #45492]
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".
