In the current statistics counter implementation, the statistics are
backed by an array of counters, which are updated via atomic operations.
This leads to contention, especially on high core count
machines.
This commit introduces a new isc_statsmulti_t counter that keeps a
separate array per thread. These counters are then aggregated only when
statistics are queried, shifting work off the critical path.
These changes lead to a ~2% improvement in perflab.
This adds the switch +[no]cookie to delv to control the sending of
DNS COOKIE options when sending requests. The default is to send
DNS COOKIE options.
C23 now has qualifier preserving standard functions for strchr,
bsearch, strpbrk, strrchr, strstr, memchr. There where a few places
where the return value was not assigned to a const qualified pointer.
These have been fixed.
CLEANUP is a macro similar to CHECK but unconditional, jumping
to cleanup even if the result is ISC_R_SUCCESS. It is now used
in place of DST_RET, CLEANUP_WITH, and CHECK(<non-success constant>).
previously, there were over 40 separate definitions of CHECK macros, of
which most used "goto cleanup", and the rest "goto failure" or "goto
out". there were another 10 definitions of RETERR, of which most were
identical to CHECK, but some simply returned a result code instead of
jumping to a cleanup label.
this has now been standardized throughout the code base: RETERR is for
returning an error code in the case of an error, and CHECK is for jumping
to a cleanup tag, which is now always called "cleanup". both macros are
defined in isc/util.h.
In !11121, a .merge member was added to cfg_clausedef_t. This caused
a build failure with -Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers enabled.
Add the missing initializer and set them all to NULL to match the
intent.
now that the EDNS state is stored within dns_message_t, it's no longer
necessary to have a public API call to build an opt rdataset; we can
just have dns_message_setopt() build the opt record internally.
The new dns_message_ednsinit() and dns_message_ednsaddopt() functions
allow EDNS options to be added to a message one at a time; it is no
longer necessary to construct a full array of EDNS options and set
them all at once.
This allows us to simplify EDNS option handling code, and in the
future it wlil allow plugins to add EDNS options to existing
messages.
Since the builtin trust-anchors are now called `builtin-trust-anchors`,
delv needs specific handling in order to be able to parse those when
they are used.
Before, delv was simply parsing a single clause (either in the case of
an overriden trust-anchors value from bindkeys file or by simply reading
the builtin value). But since the name changed, the same code can't be
shared and the builtin version is expected to be in a map.
Instead of (1) allocating a parser, (2) parsing a file/buffer then (3)
freeing the parser, the parser is now internally created/destroyed from
within the `cfg_parse_*` functions. This simplifies a lot the use cases,
especially around the error cases where the parser needs to be freed in
a cleanup goto.
The only trick was the parser callback mechanism, which would previously
have been set up between steps 1 and 2. Since it's never been used for
any purpose other than the "directory" option, the chdir call has now
been moved inside the parser and the generic callback mechanism has been
removed, replacing CFG_CLAUSEFLAG_CALLBACK with CFG_CLAUSEFLAG_CHDIR.
cfg_obj_t doesn't store a pointer to its a parser context anymore,
and does not depend on the parser's lifecycle. Instead, it stores a
reference to its own memory context (and in principle, each node
could have different memory context). This also slightly simplifies
the _destroy API as there is no need to pass a context through it
anymore.

Use dns_rdatatype_none instead of plain '0' for dns_rdatatype_t and
dns_typepair_t manipulation. While plain '0' is technically ok, it
doesn't carry the required semantic meaning, and using the named
dns_rdatatype_none constant makes the code more readable.
This required couple of internal changes to the isc_mem_debugging.
The isc_mem_debugging is now internal to isc_mem unit and there are
three new functions:
1. isc_mem_setdebugging() can change the debugging setting for an
individual memory context. This is need for the memory contexts used
for OpenSSL, libxml and libuv accounting as recording and tracing
memory is broken there.
2. isc_mem_debugon() / isc_mem_debugoff() can be used to change default
memory debugging flags as well as debugging flags for isc_g_mctx.
Additionally, the memory debugging is inconsistent across the code-base.
For now, we are keeping the existing flags, but three new environment
variables have been added 'ISC_MEM_DEBUGRECORD', 'ISC_MEM_DEBUGTRACE'
and 'ISC_MEM_DEBUGUSAGE' to set the global debugging flags at any
program using the memory contexts.
Instead of having individual memory contexts scattered across different
files and called different names, add a single memory context called
isc_g_mctx that replaces named_g_mctx and various other global memory
contexts in various utilities and tests.
There is only a single network manager running on top of the loop
manager (except for tests). Refactor the network manager to be a
singleton (a single instance) and change the unit tests, so that the
shorter read timeouts apply only to a specific handle, not the whole
extra 'connect_nm' network manager instance.
All the applications built on top of the loop manager were required to
create just a single instance of the loop manager. Refactor the loop
manager to not expose this instance to the callers and keep the loop
manager object internal to the isc_loop compilation unit.
This significantly simplifies a number of data structures and calls to
the isc_loop API.
RRset ordering is now an enum inside struct rdataset attributes. This
was done to keep size to of the structure to its original value before
this MR.
I expect zero performance impact but it should be easier to deal with
attributes in debuggers and language servers.
`delv +ns` invokes the same code to perform name resolution as `named`,
but it neglected to set up an IPv6 dispatch object first. Consequently,
it was behaving more like `named -4`.
It now sets up dispatch objects for both address families, and performs
resolver queries to both v4 and v6 addresses, except when one of the
address families has been suppressed by using `delv -4` or `delv -6`.
Meson is a modern build system that has seen a rise in adoption and some
version of it is available in almost every platform supported.
Compared to automake, meson has the following advantages:
* Meson provides a significant boost to the build and configuration time
by better exploiting parallelism.
* Meson is subjectively considered to be better in readability.
These merits alone justify experimenting with meson as a way of
improving development time and ergonomics. However, there are some
compromises to ensure the transition goes relatively smooth:
* The system tests currently rely on various files within the source
directory. Changing this requirement is a non-trivial task that can't
be currently justified. Currently the last compiled build directory
writes into the source tree which is in turn used by pytest.
* The minimum version supported has been fixed at 0.61. Increasing this
value will require choosing a baseline of distributions that can
package with meson. On the contrary, there will likely be an attempt
to decrease this value to ensure almost universal support for building
BIND 9 with meson.
There were several methods how we used 'argv[0]'. Some programs had a
static value, some programs did use isc_file_progname(), some programs
stripped 'lt-' from the beginning of the name. And some used argv[0]
directly.
Unify the handling and all the variables into isc_commandline_progname
that gets populated by the new isc_commandline_init(argc, argv) call.
replace the pattern `for (result = dns_rdataset_first(x); result ==
ISC_R_SUCCES; result = dns_rdataset_next(x)` with a new
`DNS_RDATASET_FOREACH` macro throughout BIND.
previously, ISC_LIST_FOREACH and ISC_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE were
two separate macros, with the _SAFE version allowing entries
to be unlinked during the loop. ISC_LIST_FOREACH is now also
safe, and the separate _SAFE macro has been removed.
similarly, the ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV macro is now safe, and
ISC_LIST_FOREACH_REV_SAFE has also been removed.
The isc_nm_getinitialtimeout() function (and also the previously used
isc_nm_gettimeouts() function) returns timeout value(s) in milliseconds,
while the dns_request_create() function expects timeout values in
seconds. Fix the bug by dividing the timeout value by MS_PER_SEC.
There is no added test, because it turns out delv doesn't support
setting custom timeout values (as opposed to what is suggested in
its man page). Tests should be added later when the '+timeout=T'
option is implemented.
Previously all kinds of TCP timeouts had a single getter and setter
functions. Separate each timeout to its own getter/setter functions,
because in majority of cases only one is required at a time, and it's
not optimal expanding those functions every time a new timeout value
is implemented.
The new 'tcp-primaries-timeout' configuration option works the same way
as the existing 'tcp-initial-timeout' option, but applies only to the
TCP connections made to the primary servers, so that the timeout value
can be set separately for them. The default is 15 seconds.
Also, while accommodating zone.c's code to support the new option, make
a light refactoring with the way UDP timeouts are calculated by using
definitions instead of hardcoded values.
use the ISC_LIST_FOREACH pattern in places where lists had
been iterated using a different pattern from the typical
`for` loop: for example, `while (!ISC_LIST_EMPTY(...))` or
`while ((e = ISC_LIST_HEAD(...)) != NULL)`.
the pattern `for (x = ISC_LIST_HEAD(...); x != NULL; ISC_LIST_NEXT(...)`
has been changed to `ISC_LIST_FOREACH` throughout BIND, except in a few
cases where the change would be excessively complex.
in most cases this was a straightforward change. in some places,
however, the list element variable was referenced after the loop
ended, and the code was refactored to avoid this necessity.
also, because `ISC_LIST_FOREACH` uses typeof(list.head) to declare
the list elements, compilation failures can occur if the list object
has a `const` qualifier. some `const` qualifiers have been removed
from function parameters to avoid this problem, and where that was not
possible, `UNCONST` was used.
ISC_LIST_FOREACH and related macros now use 'typeof(list.head)' to
declare the list elements automatically; the caller no longer needs
to do so.
ISC_LIST_FOREACH_SAFE also now implicitly declares its own 'next'
pointer, so it only needs three parameters instead of four.
In the code base it is very common to iterate over all names in a message
section and all rdatasets for each name, but various idioms are used for
iteration.
This commit standardizes them as much as possible to a single idiom,
using the macro MSG_SECTION_FOREACH, similar to the existing
ISC_LIST_FOREACH.
Since algorithm fetching is handled purely in libisc, FIPS mode toggling
can be purely done in within the library instead of provider fetching in
the binary for OpenSSL >=3.0.
Disabling FIPS mode isn't a realistic requirement and isn't done
anywhere in the codebase. Make the FIPS mode toggle enable-only to
reflect the situation.
previously, dns_name_fromtext() took both a target name and an
optional target buffer parameter, which could override the name's
dedicated buffer. this interface is unnecessarily complex.
we now have two functions, dns_name_fromtext() to convert text
into a dns_name that has a dedicated buffer, and dns_name_wirefromtext()
to convert text into uncompressed DNS wire format and append it to a
target buffer.
in cases where it really is necessary to have both, we can use
dns_name_fromtext() to load the dns_name, then dns_name_towire()
to append the wire format to the target buffer.
Instead of relying on unreliable order of execution of the library
constructors and destructors, move them to individual binaries. The
advantage is that the execution time and order will remain constant and
will not depend on the dynamic load dependency solver.
This requires more work, but that was mitigated by a simple requirement,
any executable using libisc and libdns, must include <isc/lib.h> and
<dns/lib.h> respectively (in this particular order). In turn, these two
headers must not be included from within any library as they contain
inlined functions marked with constructor/destructor attributes.
building BIND without crypto support is no longer possible.
consequently this result code is never sent, and therefore we
don't need code in calling functions to handle it.
the isc_mem allocation functions can no longer fail; as a result,
ISC_R_NOMEMORY is now rarely used: only when an external library
such as libjson-c or libfstrm could return NULL. (even in
these cases, arguably we should assert rather than returning
ISC_R_NOMEMORY.)
code and comments that mentioned ISC_R_NOMEMORY have been
cleaned up, and the following functions have been changed to
type void, since (in most cases) the only value they could
return was ISC_R_SUCCESS:
- dns_dns64_create()
- dns_dyndb_create()
- dns_ipkeylist_resize()
- dns_kasp_create()
- dns_kasp_key_create()
- dns_keystore_create()
- dns_order_create()
- dns_order_add()
- dns_peerlist_new()
- dns_tkeyctx_create()
- dns_view_create()
- dns_zone_setorigin()
- dns_zone_setfile()
- dns_zone_setstream()
- dns_zone_getdbtype()
- dns_zone_setjournal()
- dns_zone_setkeydirectory()
- isc_lex_openstream()
- isc_portset_create()
- isc_symtab_create()
(the exception is dns_view_create(), which could have returned
other error codes in the event of a crypto library failure when
calling isc_file_sanitize(), but that should be a RUNTIME_CHECK
anyway.)
The network manager layer has two different timers with their
own timeout values for TCP connections: connect timeout and read
timeout. Separate the connect and the read TCP timeouts in the
dispatch module too.
DLV is long gone, so we can remove design documentation around DLV,
related command line options (that were already a hard failure),
and some DLV related test remnants.
Changing the default for max-recursion-queries from 100 to 32 was too
strict in some cases, especially lookups in reverse IPv6 trees started
to fail more frequently. From issue #4921 it looks like 50 is a better
default.
Now that we have 'max-query-count' as a global limit of outgoing queries
per client request, we can increase the default for
'max-recursion-queries' again, as the number of recursive queries is
no longer bound by the multiple of 'max-recursion-queries' and
'max-query-restarts'.
Instead of cleaning the dns_badcache opportunistically, add per-loop
LRU, so each thread-loop can clean the expired entries. This also
allows removal of the atomic operations as the badcache entries are now
immutable, instead of updating the badcache entry in place, the old
entry is now deleted from the hashtable and the LRU list, and the new
entry is inserted in the LRU.
