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.
The string literal initialalising compressed was too big for the
array as it has an unwanted NUL terminator. This is allowed for
in C for historical reasons but produces a warning with some
compilers. Adjust the declaration to include the NUL and adjust
the users to pass in an adjusted size which excludes the NUL rather
than sizeof(compressed).
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.
this parameter was added as a (minor) optimization for
cases where dns_name_towire() is run repeatedly with the
same compression context, as when rendering all of the rdatas
in an rdataset. it is currently only used in one place.
we now simplify the interface by removing the extra parameter.
the compression offset value is now part of the compression
context, and can be activated when needed by calling
dns_compress_setmultiuse(). multiuse mode is automatically
deactivated by any subsequent call to dns_compress_permitted().
The offsets were meant to speed-up the repeated dns_name operations, but
it was experimentally proven that there's actually no real-world
benefit. Remove the offsets and labels fields from the dns_name and the
static offsets fields to save 128 bytes from the fixedname in favor of
calculating labels and offsets only when needed.
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.
It should be floor(DNS_NAME_MAXWIRE / 2) + 1 == 128
The mistake was introduced in c6bf51492d because:
* I was refactoring an existing `DNS_MAX_LABELS` defined as 127
* There was a longstanding bug in `dns_name_isvalid()` which
checked the number of labels against 127U instead of 128
* I mistakenly thought `dns_name_isvalid()` was correct and
`dns_name_countlabels()` was incorrect, but the reverse was true.
After this commit, occurrances of `DNS_NAME_MAXLABELS` with value
128 are consistent with the use of 127 or 128 before commit
c6bf51492d except for the mistake in `dns_name_isvalid()`.
This commit adds a test case that checks the MAXLABELS case
in `dns_name_fromtext()` and `dns_name_isvalid()`.
The only place where dns_name_hash() was being used is the old hash
table in the dns_badcache unit. Squash the dns_name_fullhash() and
dns_name_hash() into single dns_name_hash() function that's always
case-insensitive as it doesn't make to do case-sensitive hashing of the
domain names and we were not using this anywhere.
C does not make any guarantees about the value of padding in a
structure, so bytewise comparison of two semantically equal structures
with padding can be spuriously non-equal due to non-equal padding
bytes.
Compare each member of name.attributes individually to avoid this
problem.
Check that names are correctly added and deleted in the compression
context. Use many names with differing numerical prefixes to make it
relatively easy to identify and debug problems.
All we need for compression is a very small hash set of compression
offsets, because most of the information we need (the previously added
names) can be found in the message using the compression offsets.
This change combines dns_compress_find() and dns_compress_add() into
one function dns_compress_name() that both finds any existing suffix,
and adds any new prefix to the table. The old split led to performance
problems caused by duplicate names in the compression context.
Compression contexts are now either small or large, which the caller
chooses depending on the expected size of the message. There is no
dynamic resizing.
There is a behaviour change: compression now acts on all the labels in
each name, instead of just the last few.
A small benchmark suggests this is about 2x faster.
sizeof(dns_name_t) did not change but the boolean attributes are now
separated as one-bit structure members. This allows debuggers to
pretty-print dns_name_t attributes without any special hacks, plus we
got rid of manual bit manipulation code.
When converting a string to lower case, the compiler is able to
autovectorize nicely, so a nice simple implementation is also very
fast, comparable to memcpy().
Comparisons are more difficult for the compiler, so we convert eight
bytes at a time using "SIMD within a register" tricks. Experiments
indicate it's best to stick to simple loops for shorter strings and
the remainder of long strings.
The name compression unit test is expanded to check that the compressed
form matches the expected wire pattern.
Record owner names are compressed differently to rdata names by
calling dns_name_towire2 instead of dns_name_towire so check that
owner names are compressed correctly as well.
It's wasteful to use 20 bytes and a pointer indirection to represent
two bits of information, so turn the struct into an enum. And change
the names of the enumeration constants to make the intent more clear.
This change introduces some inline functions into another header,
which confuses `gcovr` when it is trying to collect code coverage
statistics. So, in the CI job, copy more header files into a directory
where `gcovr` looks for them.
The aim is to get rid of the obsolete term "GLOBAL14" and instead just
refer to DNS name compression.
This is mostly mechanically renaming
from dns_(de)compress_(get|set)methods()
to dns_(de)compress_(get|set)permitted()
and replacing the related enum by a simple flag, because compression
is either on or off.
There was a proposal in the late 1990s that it might, but it turned
out to be unworkable. See RFC 6891, Extension Mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS(0)), section 5, Extended Label Types.
The remnants of the code that supported this in BIND are redundant.
The unit tests are now using a common base, which means that
lib/dns/tests/ code now has to include lib/isc/include/isc/test.h and
link with lib/isc/test.c and lib/ns/tests has to include both libisc and
libdns parts.
Instead of cross-linking code between the directories, move the
/lib/<foo>/test.c to /tests/<foo>.c and /lib/<foo>/include/<foo>test.h
to /tests/include/tests/<foo>.h and create a single libtest.la
convenience library in /tests/.
At the same time, move the /lib/<foo>/tests/ to /tests/<foo>/ (but keep
it symlinked to the old location) and adjust paths accordingly. In few
places, we are now using absolute paths instead of relative paths,
because the directory level has changed. By moving the directories
under the /tests/ directory, the test-related code is kept in a single
place and we can avoid referencing files between libns->libdns->libisc
which is unhealthy because they live in a separate Makefile-space.
In the future, the /bin/tests/ should be merged to /tests/ and symlink
kept, and the /fuzz/ directory moved to /tests/fuzz/.
