The system test framework starts all named instances with the "-d 99"
command line option (unless it is overridden by a named.args file in a
given instance's working directory). This causes a lot of log messages
to be written to named.run files - currently over 5 million lines for a
single test suite run. While debugging information preserved in the log
files is essential for troubleshooting intermittent test failures, some
system tests involve sending hundreds or even thousands of queries,
which causes the relevant log files to explode in size. When multiple
tests (or even multiple test suites) are run in parallel, excessive
logging contributes considerably to the I/O load on the test host,
increasing the odds of intermittent test failures getting triggered.
Decrease the debug level for the seven most verbose named instances:
- use "-d 3" for ns2 in the "cacheclean" system test (it is the lowest
logging level at which the test still passes without the need to
apply any changes to tests.sh),
- use "-d 1" for the other six named instances.
This roughly halves the number of lines logged by each test suite run
while still leaving enough information in the logs to allow at least
basic troubleshooting in case of test failures.
This approach was chosen as it results in a greater decrease in the
number of lines logged than running all named instances with "-d 3",
without causing any test failures.

this changes most visble uses of master/slave terminology in tests.sh
and most uses of 'type master' or 'type slave' in named.conf files.
files in the checkconf test were not updated in order to confirm that
the old syntax still works. rpzrecurse was also left mostly unchanged
to avoid interference with DNSRPS.
(cherry picked from commit e43b3c1fa1)
as "type primary" is preferred over "type master" now, it makes
sense to make "primaries" available as a synonym too.
added a correctness check to ensure "primaries" and "masters"
cannot both be used in the same zone.
(cherry picked from commit 16e14353b1)
In order to lower the amount of memory allocated at startup by named
instances used in the BIND system test suite, set the default value of
"max-cache-size" for these to 2 megabytes. The purpose of this change
is to prevent named instances (or even entire virtual machines) from
getting killed by the operating system on the test host due to excessive
memory use.
Remove all "max-cache-size" statements from named configuration files
used in system tests ("checkconf" notwithstanding) to prevent confusion
as the "-T maxcachesize=..." command line option takes precedence over
configuration files.
(cherry picked from commit dad6572093)
- all tests with "recursion yes" now also specify "dnssec-validation yes",
and all tests with "recursion no" also specify "dnssec-validation no".
this must be maintained in all new tests, or else validation will fail
when we use local root zones for testing.
- clean.sh has been modified where necessary to remove managed-keys.bind
and viewname.mkeys files.
- add CHANGES note
- update copyrights and license headers
- add -j to the make commands in .gitlab-ci.yml to take
advantage of parallelization in the gitlab CI process
in draft-andrews-dnsext-expire-00. Retrivial of
remaining time to expiry from slave zones is supported.
EXPIRE uses an experimental option code (65002) and
is subject to change. [RT #35416]
3525. [func] Support for additional signing algorithms in rndc:
hmac-sha1, -sha224, -sha256, -sha384, and -sha512.
The -A option to rndc-confgen can be used to
select the algorithm for the generated key.
(The default is still hmac-md5; this may
change in a future release.) [RT #20363]
