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
There was a missing indirection for the pluginlist_cb_t *callback in the
declaration of the cfg_pluginlist_foreach function. Reported by MSVC as:
lib\isccfg\parser.c(4057): warning C4028: formal parameter 4 different from declaration
The keyword 'unlimited' can be used instead of PT0S which means the
same but is more comprehensible for users.
Also fix some redundant "none" parameters in the kasp test.
This commit introduces the initial `dnssec-policy` configuration
statement. It has an initial set of options to deal with signature
and key maintenance.
Add some checks to ensure that dnssec-policy is configured at the
right locations, and that policies referenced to in zone statements
actually exist.
Add some checks that when a user adds the new `dnssec-policy`
configuration, it will no longer contain existing DNSSEC
configuration options. Specifically: `inline-signing`,
`auto-dnssec`, `dnssec-dnskey-kskonly`, `dnssec-secure-to-insecure`,
`update-check-ksk`, `dnssec-update-mode`, `dnskey-sig-validity`,
and `sig-validity-interval`.
Test a good kasp configuration, and some bad configurations.
The ttlval configuration types are replaced by duration configuration
types. The duration is an ISO 8601 duration that is going to be used
for DNSSEC key timings such as key lifetimes, signature resign
intervals and refresh periods, etc. But it is also still allowed to
use the BIND ttlval ways of configuring intervals (number plus
optional unit).
A duration is stored as an array of 7 different time parts.
A duration can either be expressed in weeks, or in a combination of
the other datetime indicators.
Add several unit tests to ensure the correct value is parsed given
different string values.
- this required modification to the code that generates grammar text for
the documentation, because the "dnssec-lookaside" option spanned more
than one line in doc/misc/options, so grepping out only the lines
marked "// obsolete" didn't remove the whole option. this commit adds
an option to cfg_test to print named.conf clauses only if they don't
have the obsolete, ancient, test-only, or not-yet-implemented flags
set.
Adds a new option to named-checkconf, -i. If set, named-checkconf
will not warn you about deprecated options. This allows people
to use named-checkconf in automated deployment precoesses where an
operator only cares if their conf is valid, even if it is not optimal.
This was added as a request as part of introducing a policy on
removing named.conf options.
- options that were flagged as obsolete or not implemented in 9.0.0
are now flagged as "ancient", and are a fatal error
- the ARM has been updated to remove these, along with other
obsolete descriptions of BIND 8 behavior
- the log message for obsolete options explicitly recommends removal
Add a new libisccfg function, cfg_pluginlist_foreach(), which allows an
arbitrary callback to be invoked for every "plugin" stanza present in a
configuration object. Use this function for both loading plugins and
checking their configuration in order to reduce duplication of
configuration processing code present in bin/named/server.c and
lib/bind9/check.c.
- make some cfg-parsing functions global so they can be run
from filter-aaaa.so
- add filter-aaaa options to the hook module's parser
- mark filter-aaaa options in named.conf as obsolete, remove
from named and checkconf, and update the filter-aaaa test not to
use checkconf anymore
- remove filter-aaaa-related struct members from dns_view
- allow multiple "hook" statements at global or view level
- add "optional bracketed text" type for optional parameter list
- load hook module from specified path rather than hardcoded path
- add a hooktable pointer (and a callback for freeing it) to the
view structure
- change the hooktable functions so they no longer update ns__hook_table
by default, and modify PROCESS_HOOK so it uses the view hooktable, if
set, rather than ns__hook_table. (ns__hook_table is retained for
use by unit tests.)
- update the filter-aaaa system test to load filter-aaaa.so
- add a prereq script to check for dlopen support before running
the filter-aaaa system test
not yet done:
- configuration parameters are not being passed to the filter-aaaa
module; the filter-aaaa ACL and filter-aaaa-on-{v4,v6} settings are
still stored in dns_view
Add a new zone type, CFG_ZONE_MIRROR, to libisccfg, in order to limit
the list of options which are considered valid for mirror zones. Update
the relevant configuration checks.
- mark the 'geoip-use-ecs' option obsolete; warn when it is used
in named.conf
- prohibit 'ecs' ACL tags in named.conf; note that this is a fatal error
since simply ignoring the tags could make ACLs behave unpredictably
- re-simplify the radix and iptable code
- clean up dns_acl_match(), dns_aclelement_match(), dns_acl_allowed()
and dns_geoip_match() so they no longer take ecs options
- remove the ECS-specific unit and system test cases
- remove references to ECS from the ARM
4873. [doc] Grammars for named.conf included in the ARM are now
automatically generated by the configuration parser
itself. As a side effect of the work needed to
separate zone type grammars from each other, this
also makes checking of zone statements in
named-checkconf more correct and consistent.
[RT #36957]
4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
3938. [func] Added quotas to be used in recursive resolvers
that are under high query load for names in zones
whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or
are experiencing a denial of service attack.
- "fetches-per-server" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent to any
single authoritative server. The configured
value is a starting point; it is automatically
adjusted downward if the server is partially or
completely non-responsive. The algorithm used to
adjust the quota can be configured via the
"fetch-quota-params" option.
- "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent for names
within a single domain. (Note: Unlike
"fetches-per-server", this value is not
self-tuning.)
- New stats counters have been added to count
queries spilled due to these quotas.
See the ARM for details of these options. [RT #37125]
4124. [func] Log errors or warnings encountered when parsing the
internal default configuration. Clarify the logging
of errors and warnings encountered in rndc
addzone or modzone parameters. [RT #39440]
