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.
In rndc_recvdone(), if 'sends' was not 0, then 'recvs' was not
decremented, in which case isc_loopmgr_shutdown() was never reached,
which could cause a hang. (This has not been observed to happen, but
the code was incorrect on examination.)
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where needed.
* isc_timer was rewritten using the uv_timer, and isc_timermgr_t was
completely removed; isc_timer objects are now directly created on the
isc_loop event loops.
* the isc_timer API has been simplified. the "inactive" timer type has
been removed; timers are now stopped by calling isc_timer_stop()
instead of resetting to inactive.
* isc_manager now creates a loop manager rather than a timer manager.
* modules and applications using isc_timer have been updated to use the
new API.
"rndc fetchlimit" now also prints a list of domain names that are
currently rate-limited by "fetches-per-zone".
The "fetchlimit" system test has been updated to use this feature
to check that domain limits are applied correctly.
this command runs dns_adb_dumpquota() to display all servers
in the ADB that are being actively fetchlimited by the
fetches-per-server controls (i.e, servers with a nonzero average
timeout ratio or with the quota having been reduced from the
default value).
the "fetchlimit" system test has been updated to use the
new command to check quota values instead of "rndc dumpdb".
Previously, tasks could be created either unbound or bound to a specific
thread (worker loop). The unbound tasks would be assigned to a random
thread every time isc_task_send() was called. Because there's no logic
that would assign the task to the least busy worker, this just creates
unpredictability. Instead of random assignment, bind all the previously
unbound tasks to worker 0, which is guaranteed to exist.
Sphinx "standard domain" provides directive types ".. program::" and
".. option::" to create link anchor for a program name + option combination.
These can be referenced using :ref:`program option` syntax.
The problem is that Sphinx 1.8.5 (e.g. in Ubuntu 18.04) generates
conflicting link targets if a page contains two option directives
starting with the same word, e.g.:
.. program:: dnssec-settime
.. option:: -P date
.. option:: -P ds date
The reason is that option directive consumes only first word as "option
name" (-P) and all the rest is considered "option argument" (date, ds
date). Newer versions of Sphinx (e.g. 4.5.0) handle this by creating
numbered link anchors, but older versions warn and BIND build system
turns the warning into a hard error.
To handle that we use method recommended by Sphinx maintainer:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/10218#issuecomment-1059925508
As a bonus it provides more accurate link anchors for sub-options.
Alternatives considered:
- Replacing standard domain definition of .. option - causes more
problems, see BIND issue #3294.
- Removing hyperlinks for options - that would be a step back.
Fixes: #3295
Previously, it was possible to assign a bit of memory space in the
nmhandle to store the client data. This was complicated and prevents
further refactoring of isc_nmhandle_t caching (future work).
Instead of caching the data in the nmhandle, allocate the hot-path
ns_client_t objects from per-thread clientmgr memory context and just
assign it to the isc_nmhandle_t via isc_nmhandle_set().
C11 has builtin support for _Noreturn function specifier with
convenience noreturn macro defined in <stdnoreturn.h> header.
Replace ISC_NORETURN macro by C11 noreturn with fallback to
__attribute__((noreturn)) if the C11 support is not complete.
Previously, the unreachable code paths would have to be tagged with:
INSIST(0);
ISC_UNREACHABLE();
There was also older parts of the code that used comment annotation:
/* NOTREACHED */
Unify the handling of unreachable code paths to just use:
UNREACHABLE();
The UNREACHABLE() macro now asserts when reached and also uses
__builtin_unreachable(); when such builtin is available in the compiler.
Gcc 7+ and Clang 10+ have implemented __attribute__((fallthrough)) which
is explicit version of the /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment we are currently
using.
Add and apply FALLTHROUGH macro that uses the attribute if available,
but does nothing on older compilers.
In one case (lib/dns/zone.c), using the macro revealed that we were
using the /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment in wrong place, remove that comment.
Replace :manpage: with :iscman: to generate internal hyperlinks. That
way reader can use links even when offline, and jumps to man pages
for the same version.
Formerly HTML version of man pages did not have links in See Also
section because :manpage: role in Sphinx can generate only external
hyperlinks - and we do not have that enabled.
Enabling the Sphinx :manpage: linking could reliably create hyperlinks
only to external URLs, but that would take users to another version
of docs.
Generated by:
find bin -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e 's/:manpage:`\([^(]\+\)(\([0-9]\))`/:iscman:`\1(\2) <\1>`/g'
+ hand-edit to revert change for mmencode reference which is
not provided in our source tree.
Use the new role :iscman: to replace all occurences or ``binary``
with :iscman:`binary`, creating a hyperlink to the manual page.
Generated using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. iscman' | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst > /tmp/progs
for PROG in $(cat /tmp/progs); do find -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e "s/\`\`$PROG\`\`/:iscman:\`$PROG\`/g"; done
Additional hand-edits were done mainly around filter-aaaa and
filter-a which are program names and and option names at the
same time. Couple more edits was neede to fix .rst syntax broken by
automatic replacement.
Sphinx has it's own :program: syntax for refering to program names.
Use it for self-references in manual pages. These self-references are
not clickable and not as eye-cathing as links, which is a good thing.
There is no point in attracting attention to ``dig`` several times on a
single page dedicated to dig itself.
Substituted automatically using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. program' | xargs -n1 bash /tmp/repl.sh
With /tmp/repl.sh being:
BASE=$(basename "$1" .rst)
sed -i -e "s/\`\`$BASE\`\`/:program:\`$BASE\`/g" "$1"
The new directive and role "iscman" allow to tag & reference man pages in
our source tree. Essentially it is just namespacing for ISC man pages,
but it comes with couple benefits.
Differences from .. _man_program label we formerly used:
- Does not expand :ref:`man_program` into full text of the page header.
- Generates index entry with category "manual page".
- Rendering style is closer to ubiquitous to the one produced
by ``named`` syntax.
Differences from Sphinx built-in :manpage: role:
- Supports all builders with support for cross-references.
- Generates internal links (unlike :manpage: which generates external
URLs).
- Checks that target exists withing our source tree.
Side-effect of hyperlinking is that typos in program and option names
are now detected by Sphinx.
Candidate -options were detected using:
find -name *.rst | xargs grep '``-[^`]'
and then modified from ``-o`` to :option:`-o` using regex
s/``\(-[^`]\+\)``/:option:`\1`/
+ manual modifications where necessary.
Non-hyphenated options were detected by looking at context around
program names:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst | sort -u
and grepping for program name with trailing whitespace.
Stand-alone program names like ``named`` are not hyperlinked in this
commit.
The markup allows referencing individual options, and also makes them
more legible (no more thin red text on gray background).
Most of the work was done using regexes:
s/^``-\(.*\)``$/.. option:: -\1\r/
s/^``+\(.*\)``$/.. option:: +\1\r/
on bin/**/*.rst files along with visual inspection and hand-edits,
mostly for positional arguments.
Regex for rndc.rst:
s/^``\(.*\)``/.. option:: \1\r/
+ hand edits to remove extra asterisk and whitespace here and there.
The C17 standard deprecated ATOMIC_VAR_INIT() macro (see [1]). Follow
the suite and remove the ATOMIC_VAR_INIT() usage in favor of simple
assignment of the value as this is what all supported stdatomic.h
implementations do anyway:
* MacOSX.plaform: #define ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(__v) {__v}
* Gcc stdatomic.h: #define ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(VALUE) (VALUE)

Replace the hard-coded paths for various BIND 9 files (configuration,
pid, etc.) in the man pages and ARM with compile-time values using the
sphinx-build replace system.
This is more complicated, because the restructured text specification
doesn't allow |substitions| inside ``code-blocks``, so for each specific
file we had to create own substition which is sub-optimal, but it is
only way how to do this without adding Sphinx extension.
If isc_app_run() gets interrupted by a signal, the global 'rndc_task'
variable may already be detached from (set to NULL) by the time the
outstanding netmgr callbacks are run. This triggers an assertion
failure in isc_task_shutdown(). However, explicitly calling
isc_task_shutdown() from rndc code is redundant because it does not use
isc_task_onshutdown() and the task_shutdown() function gets
automatically called anyway when the task manager gets destroyed (after
isc_app_run() returns). Remove the redundant isc_task_shutdown() calls
to prevent crashes after receiving a signal.
rndc_recvdone() is not treating the ISC_R_CANCELED result code as a
request to stop data processing, which may cause a crash when trying to
dereference ccmsg->buffer. Fix by ensuring ISC_R_CANCELED results in an
early exit from rndc_recvdone().
Make sure the logic for handling ISC_R_CANCELED in rndc_recvnonce()
matches the one present in rndc_recvdone() to ensure consistent behavior
between these two sibling functions.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Unify the header guard style and replace the inconsistent include guards
with #pragma once.
The #pragma once is widely and very well supported in all compilers that
BIND 9 supports, and #pragma once was already in use in several new or
refactored headers.
Using simpler method will also allow us to automate header guard checks
as this is simpler to programatically check.
For reference, here are the reasons for the change taken from
Wikipedia[1]:
> In the C and C++ programming languages, #pragma once is a non-standard
> but widely supported preprocessor directive designed to cause the
> current source file to be included only once in a single compilation.
>
> Thus, #pragma once serves the same purpose as include guards, but with
> several advantages, including: less code, avoidance of name clashes,
> and sometimes improvement in compilation speed. On the other hand,
> #pragma once is not necessarily available in all compilers and its
> implementation is tricky and might not always be reliable.

Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
The native PKCS#11 support has been removed in favour of better
maintained, more performance and easier to use OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine
from the OpenSC project.
The isc/platform.h header was left empty which things either already
moved to config.h or to appropriate headers. This is just the final
cleanup commit.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
The isc_nmiface_t type was holding just a single isc_sockaddr_t,
so we got rid of the datatype and use plain isc_sockaddr_t in place
where isc_nmiface_t was used before. This means less type-casting and
shorter path to access isc_sockaddr_t members.
At the same time, instead of keeping the reference to the isc_sockaddr_t
that was passed to us when we start listening, we will keep a local
copy. This prevents the data race on destruction of the ns_interface_t
objects where pending nmsockets could reference the sockaddr of already
destroyed ns_interface_t object.
the idle timeout for rndc connections was set to 10 seconds, but this
caused intermittent system failures of the 'rndc' system test on slow
platforms, since 'rndc reconfig' could time out before reconfiguration
was complete.
this commit restores the original timeout value of 60 seconds, which was
changed inadvertently after rndc was updated to use the network manager.
even with this change, however, the test can still time out under
TSAN because loading the huge zone can take a very long time (upwards
of two minutes). so the test is modified here to generate a smaller zone
file when running under TSAN.
Previously, netmgr, taskmgr, timermgr and socketmgr all had their own
isc_<*>mgr_create() and isc_<*>mgr_destroy() functions. The new
isc_managers_create() and isc_managers_destroy() fold all four into a
single function and makes sure the objects are created and destroy in
correct order.
Especially now, when taskmgr runs on top of netmgr, the correct order is
important and when the code was duplicated at many places it's easy to
make mistake.
The former isc_<*>mgr_create() and isc_<*>mgr_destroy() functions were
made private and a single call to isc_managers_create() and
isc_managers_destroy() is required at the program startup / shutdown.
This commit changes the taskmgr to run the individual tasks on the
netmgr internal workers. While an effort has been put into keeping the
taskmgr interface intact, couple of changes have been made:
* The taskmgr has no concept of universal privileged mode - rather the
tasks are either privileged or unprivileged (normal). The privileged
tasks are run as a first thing when the netmgr is unpaused. There
are now four different queues in in the netmgr:
1. priority queue - netievent on the priority queue are run even when
the taskmgr enter exclusive mode and netmgr is paused. This is
needed to properly start listening on the interfaces, free
resources and resume.
2. privileged task queue - only privileged tasks are queued here and
this is the first queue that gets processed when network manager
is unpaused using isc_nm_resume(). All netmgr workers need to
clean the privileged task queue before they all proceed normal
operation. Both task queues are processed when the workers are
finished.
3. task queue - only (traditional) task are scheduled here and this
queue along with privileged task queues are process when the
netmgr workers are finishing. This is needed to process the task
shutdown events.
4. normal queue - this is the queue with netmgr events, e.g. reading,
sending, callbacks and pretty much everything is processed here.
* The isc_taskmgr_create() now requires initialized netmgr (isc_nm_t)
object.
* The isc_nm_destroy() function now waits for indefinite time, but it
will print out the active objects when in tracing mode
(-DNETMGR_TRACE=1 and -DNETMGR_TRACE_VERBOSE=1), the netmgr has been
made a little bit more asynchronous and it might take longer time to
shutdown all the active networking connections.
* Previously, the isc_nm_stoplistening() was a synchronous operation.
This has been changed and the isc_nm_stoplistening() just schedules
the child sockets to stop listening and exits. This was needed to
prevent a deadlock as the the (traditional) tasks are now executed on
the netmgr threads.
* The socket selection logic in isc__nm_udp_send() was flawed, but
fortunatelly, it was broken, so we never hit the problem where we
created uvreq_t on a socket from nmhandle_t, but then a different
socket could be picked up and then we were trying to run the send
callback on a socket that had different threadid than currently
running.
The isc_nm_*connect() functions were refactored to always return the
connection status via the connect callback instead of sometimes returning
the hard failure directly (for example, when the socket could not be
created, or when the network manager was shutting down).
This commit changes the connect functions in all the network manager
modules, and also makes the necessary refactoring changes in places
where the connect functions are called.
