The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
There were two errors:
1. get_random() function was returning random number with leading zeros
that could lead the shell to interpret the number as octal value
instead of decimal. The surrounding whitespace was also causing
problems.
2. The calculation of the port was off, it was adding the whole range
and not just the min port to the base.
The introduction of netmgr doubled the number of threads from which
dnstap data may be logged: previously, it could only happen from within
taskmgr worker threads; with netmgr, it can happen both from taskmgr
worker threads and from network threads. Since the argument passed to
fstrm_iothr_options_set_num_input_queues() was not updated to reflect
this change, some calls to fstrm_iothr_get_input_queue() can now return
NULL, effectively preventing some dnstap data from being logged.
Whether this bug is triggered or not depends on thread scheduling order
and packet distribution between network threads, but will almost
certainly be triggered on any recursive resolver sooner or later. Fix
by requesting the correct number of dnstap input queues to be allocated.
Test zones with various escape sequences and filesystem seperator
characters.
* escaped double quote (\")

* escaped decimal byte value (\032)

The system tests currently uses patchwork of shell scripts which doesn't
offer proper error handling.
This commit introduced option to write new tests in pytest framework
that also allows easier manipulation of DNS traffic (using dnspython),
native XML and JSON manipulation and proper error reporting.
named_os_openfile was being called with switch_user set to true
unconditionally leading to log messages about being unable to
switch user identity from named when regenerating the key.
When running on Linux and system capabilities are available, named will
drop the extra capabilities before loading the configuration. This led
to spurious warnings from `seteuid()` because named already dropped
CAP_SETUID and CAP_GETUID capabilities.
The fix removes setting the effective uid/gid when capabilities are
available, and adds a check that we are running under the user we were
requested to run.
Add recursive "test" and "unit" rules, which execute "make check"
in specific directories - "make test" runs the system tests, and
"make unit" runs the unit tests.
The current script used ephemeral port range which clashed with the
ports used by the tools (dig, ...), and the range always started with
the first port and there was 100 ports allocated for each system test.
In this commit, the first port has been randomized, the get_ports.sh
script outputs the variables (the output has to be eval'ed from run.sh)
and there's less waste in the port range.
There are several improvements over the default/previous behaviour of
the test log driver and log compiler:
* The system-test-driver.sh was dropped (it was used incorrectly)
* The run.sh script is now both log compiler and cli script to run
individual tests
* The custom-test-driver was added as extended version of the automake
test-driver with capability to tee the test output to stdout when
`--verbose yes` is passed to it (you can use LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS to
add the option by default)
* Makefile.am has been extended to honor V=1 for the system tests
test-driver (e.g. V=1 adds `--verbose yes` to AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS)
The bin/tests/wire_test helper program is currently not included in any
Makefile.am file. Move its source code to bin/tests/system and build it
along other helper tools when dnstap support is requested as the
"dnstap" system test needs this tool in order to pass.
Make yaml.load_all() use yaml.SafeLoader to address a warning currently
emitted when bin/tests/system/dnstap/ydump.py is run:
ydump.py:28: YAMLLoadWarning: calling yaml.load_all() without Loader=... is deprecated, as the default Loader is unsafe. Please read https://msg.pyyaml.org/load for full details.

The libirs contained own re-implementations of the getaddrinfo,
getnameinfo and gai_strerror + irs_context and irs_dnsconf API that was
unused anywhere in the BIND 9.
Keep just the irs_resonf API that is being extensively used to parse
/etc/resolv.conf by several of BIND 9 tools.
The 'ephemeral' database implementation was used to provide a
lightweight database implemenation that doesn't cache results, and the
only place where it was really use is "samples" because delv is
overriding this to use "rbtdb" instead. Otherwise it was completely
unused.
* The 'ephemeral' cache DB (ecdb) implementation. An ecdb just provides
* temporary storage for ongoing name resolution with the common DB interfaces.
* It actually doesn't cache anything. The implementation expects any stored
* data is released within a short period, and does not care about the
* scalability in terms of the number of nodes.
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
With the introduction of dnssec-policy, the aforementioned tools were
either rendered obsolete, or they will be replaced with dnssec-policy
based tools. Remove the tools and the requirement to have Python
installed. Python 3 is still being used for tests, so keep the autoconf
test, but make it much simpler.
The pk11/constants.h header contained static CK_BYTE arrays and
we had to use #defines to pull only those we need. This commit
changes the constants to only define byte arrays with the content
and either use them directly or define the CK_BYTE arrays locally
where used.
