Frederic Lecaille 4e0af590e8 MEDIUM: quic: optimize HKDF operations by reusing per-thread contexts
Allocating and freeing an OpenSSL EVP_PKEY_CTX context via
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() on every HKDF cryptographic
operation (such as during stateless reset token generation) induces
unnecessary memory allocation overhead.

Optimize this by introducing a global per-thread context array
'quic_tls_hkdf_ctxs'. These contexts are allocated and initialized once
at startup via a POST_CHECK hook (quic_tls_alloc_hkdf_ctxs) and are
properly freed at exit via a POST_DEINIT hook (quic_tls_dealloc_hkdf_ctxs).

The functions quic_hkdf_extract(), quic_hkdf_expand(), and
quic_hkdf_extract_and_expand() now reuse the pre-allocated context
corresponding to the current thread ID ('tid'), removing dynamic
allocations from these frequent execution paths.

As a cleanup, quic_hkdf_expand() is now static and unexported from the
header file.

Should be easily backported to all versions for optimization purposes.

HAProxy

AWS-LC Illumos NetBSD CrossCompile FreeBSD VTest

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
  • CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
