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.
Instead of giving the memory context names with an explicit call to
isc_mem_setname(), add the name to isc_mem_create() call to have all the
memory contexts an unconditional name.
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 offical EDNS option name for "UL" is "UPDATE-LEASE". We now
emit "UPDATE-LEASE" instead of "UL", when printing messages, but
"UL" has been retained as an alias on the command line.
Update leases consist of 1 or 2 values, LEASE and KEY-LEASE. These
components are now emitted separately so they can be easily extracted
from YAML output. Tests have been added to check YAML correctness.
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.
Add "+showbadvers" to display the BADVERS response similarly
to "+showbadcookie". Additionally reset the EDNS version to
the requested version in "dig +trace" so that EDNS version
negotiation can be tested at all levels of the trace rather
that just when requesting the root nameservers.
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.
dns_name_fromtext() stores the converted name in the 'name'
passed to it, and optionally also copies it in wire format to
a buffer 'target'. this makes the interface unnecessarily
complex, and could be simplified by having a different function
for each purpose. as a first step, remove uses of the target
buffer in calls to dns_name_fromtext() where it wasn't actually
needed.
the target buffer passed to dns_name_concatenate() was never
used (except for one place in dig, where it wasn't actually
needed, and has already been removed in a prior commit).
we can safely remove the parameter.
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.
Unless explicitly specified type from host command, do fourth query for
type HTTPS RR. It is expected it will become more common and some
systems already query that record for every name.
The new +[no]svcparamkeycompat option for dig enables the
backward-compatible mode for the Service Parameter Keys'
(SvcParamKeys) representation format. See the previous commit
for more information.
Instead of mixing the dns_resolver and dns_validator units directly with
the EDE code, split-out the dns_ede functionality into own separate
compilation unit and hide the implementation details behind abstraction.
Additionally, the EDE codes are directly copied into the ns_client
buffers by passing the EDE context to dns_resolver_createfetch().
This makes the dns_ede implementation simpler to use, although sligtly
more complicated on the inside.

This commit adds support for setting SNI hostnames in outgoing
connections over TLS.
Most of the changes are related to either adapting the code to accept
and extra argument in *connect() functions and a couple of changes to
the TLS Stream to actually make use of the new SNI hostname
information.
Since BIND 9 headers are not longer public, there's no reason to keep
the ISC_LANG_BEGINDECL and ISC_LANG_ENDDECL macros to support including
them from C++ projects.
To enable FIPS mode at runtime use 'dig -F'. The operating system
must have FIPS support available for this to succeed. This is on
by default when built with --enable-fips-mode.
The isc/crypto.h now directly includes the OpenSSL headers (evp.h) and
any application that includes that header also needs to have
OPENSSL_CFLAGS in the Makefile.am. Adjust the required automake files
as needed.
Report-Channel and ZONEVERSION EDNS options can now be sent
using `dig +ednsopt=report-channel` (or `dig +ednsopt=rc` for
short), and `dig +ednsopt=zoneversion`.
Unify libcrypto initialization and explicit digest fetching in a single
place and move relevant code to the isc__crypto namespace instead of
isc__tls.
It will remove the remaining implicit fetching and deduplicate explicit
fetching inside the codebase.
This commit ensures that the port is set before attempting a UDP
query. Before that a situation could appear when previous query have
completed over a different transport (that uses a dedicated port) and
then a UDP query will be attempted over the port of the previous
transport.
The new
isc_log_createandusechannel() function combines following calls:
isc_log_createchannel()
isc_log_usechannel()
calls into a single call that cannot fail and therefore can be used in
places where we know this cannot fail thus simplifying the error
handling.
Remove the complicated mechanism that could be (in theory) used by
external libraries to register new categories and modules with
statically defined lists in <isc/log.h>. This is similar to what we
have done for <isc/result.h> result codes. All the libraries are now
internal to BIND 9, so we don't need to provide a mechanism to register
extra categories and modules.
Add isc_logconfig_get() function to get the current logconfig and use
the getter to replace most of the little dancing around setting up
logging in the tools. Thus:
isc_log_create(mctx, &lctx, &logconfig);
isc_log_setcontext(lctx);
dns_log_setcontext(lctx);
...
...use lcfg...
...
isc_log_destroy();
is now only:
logconfig = isc_logconfig_get(lctx);
...use lcfg...
For thread-safety, isc_logconfig_get() should be surrounded by RCU read
lock, but since we never use isc_logconfig_get() in threaded context,
the only place where it is actually used (but not really needed) is
named_log_init().
Instead of calling dst_lib_init() and dst_lib_destroy() explicitly by
all the programs, create a separate memory context for the DST subsystem
and use the library constructor and destructor to initialize the DST
internals.
