`libirs` used to be a reference implementation of `getaddrinfo` and
related modern resolver APIs. It was stripped down in BIND 9.18
leaving only the `irs_resconf` module, which parses
`/etc/resolv.conf`. I have kept its include path and namespace prefix,
so it remains a little fragment of libirs now embedded in libdns.
as there is no further use of isc_task in BIND, this commit removes
it, along with isc_taskmgr, isc_event, and all other related types.
functions that accepted taskmgr as a parameter have been cleaned up.
as a result of this change, some functions can no longer fail, so
they've been changed to type void, and their callers have been
updated accordingly.
the tasks table has been removed from the statistics channel and
the stats version has been updated. dns_dyndbctx has been changed
to reference the loopmgr instead of taskmgr, and DNS_DYNDB_VERSION
has been udpated as well.
callback events from dns_resolver_createfetch() are now posted
using isc_async_run.
other modules which called the resolver and maintained task/taskmgr
objects for this purpose have been cleaned up.
the built-in trust anchors in named and delv are sufficent for
validation. named still needs to be able to load trust anchors from
a bind.keys file for testing purposes, but it doesn't need to be
the default behavior.
we now only load trust anchors from a file if explicitly specified
via the "bindkeys-file" option in named or the "-a" command line
argument to delv. documentation has been cleaned up to remove references
to /etc/bind.keys.
Closes#3850.
* rbt node chains were sized to allow for bitstring labels, so they
had 256 levels; but in the absence of bistrings, 128 is enough.
* dns_byaddr_createptrname() had a redundant options argument,
and a very outdated doc comment.
* A number of comments referred to bitstring labels in a way that is
no longer helpful. (A few informative comments remain.)
In several places, the structures were cleaned with memset(...)) and
thus the semantic patch converted the isc_mem_get(...) to
isc_mem_getx(..., ISC_MEM_ZERO). Use the designated initializer to
initialized the structures instead of zeroing the memory with
ISC_MEM_ZERO flag as this better matches the intended purpose.
Add new semantic patch to replace the straightfoward uses of:
ptr = isc_mem_{get,allocate}(..., size);
memset(ptr, 0, size);
with the new API call:
ptr = isc_mem_{get,allocate}x(..., size, ISC_MEM_ZERO);
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where needed.
* isc_timer was rewritten using the uv_timer, and isc_timermgr_t was
completely removed; isc_timer objects are now directly created on the
isc_loop event loops.
* the isc_timer API has been simplified. the "inactive" timer type has
been removed; timers are now stopped by calling isc_timer_stop()
instead of resetting to inactive.
* isc_manager now creates a loop manager rather than a timer manager.
* modules and applications using isc_timer have been updated to use the
new API.
Man pages for dig/mdig/delv used `.. option:: +[no]bla` to describe two
options at once, and very old Sphinx does not support that [] in option
names.
Solution is to split negative and positive options into `+bla, +nobla`
form. In the end it improves readability because it transforms hard to
read strings with double brackets from
`+[no]subnet=addr[/prefix-length]` to
`+subnet=addr[/prefix-length], +nosubnet`.
As a side-effect it also allows easier linking to dig/mdig/delv options
using their name directly instead of always overriding the link target
to `+[no]bla` form.
Transformation was done using regex:
s/:: +\[no\]\(.*\)/:: +\1, +no\1
... and manual review around occurences matching regex
+no.*=
Fixes: #3301
The use of isc_appctx_t in dns_client was used to wait for
dns_client_startresolve() to finish the processing (the resolve_done()
task callback).
This has been replaced with standard bool+cond+lock combination removing
the need of isc_appctx_t altogether.
C11 has builtin support for _Noreturn function specifier with
convenience noreturn macro defined in <stdnoreturn.h> header.
Replace ISC_NORETURN macro by C11 noreturn with fallback to
__attribute__((noreturn)) if the C11 support is not complete.
Previously, the unreachable code paths would have to be tagged with:
INSIST(0);
ISC_UNREACHABLE();
There was also older parts of the code that used comment annotation:
/* NOTREACHED */
Unify the handling of unreachable code paths to just use:
UNREACHABLE();
The UNREACHABLE() macro now asserts when reached and also uses
__builtin_unreachable(); when such builtin is available in the compiler.
Replace :manpage: with :iscman: to generate internal hyperlinks. That
way reader can use links even when offline, and jumps to man pages
for the same version.
Formerly HTML version of man pages did not have links in See Also
section because :manpage: role in Sphinx can generate only external
hyperlinks - and we do not have that enabled.
Enabling the Sphinx :manpage: linking could reliably create hyperlinks
only to external URLs, but that would take users to another version
of docs.
Generated by:
find bin -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e 's/:manpage:`\([^(]\+\)(\([0-9]\))`/:iscman:`\1(\2) <\1>`/g'
+ hand-edit to revert change for mmencode reference which is
not provided in our source tree.
Use the new role :iscman: to replace all occurences or ``binary``
with :iscman:`binary`, creating a hyperlink to the manual page.
Generated using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. iscman' | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst > /tmp/progs
for PROG in $(cat /tmp/progs); do find -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e "s/\`\`$PROG\`\`/:iscman:\`$PROG\`/g"; done
Additional hand-edits were done mainly around filter-aaaa and
filter-a which are program names and and option names at the
same time. Couple more edits was neede to fix .rst syntax broken by
automatic replacement.
Sphinx has it's own :program: syntax for refering to program names.
Use it for self-references in manual pages. These self-references are
not clickable and not as eye-cathing as links, which is a good thing.
There is no point in attracting attention to ``dig`` several times on a
single page dedicated to dig itself.
Substituted automatically using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. program' | xargs -n1 bash /tmp/repl.sh
With /tmp/repl.sh being:
BASE=$(basename "$1" .rst)
sed -i -e "s/\`\`$BASE\`\`/:program:\`$BASE\`/g" "$1"
The new directive and role "iscman" allow to tag & reference man pages in
our source tree. Essentially it is just namespacing for ISC man pages,
but it comes with couple benefits.
Differences from .. _man_program label we formerly used:
- Does not expand :ref:`man_program` into full text of the page header.
- Generates index entry with category "manual page".
- Rendering style is closer to ubiquitous to the one produced
by ``named`` syntax.
Differences from Sphinx built-in :manpage: role:
- Supports all builders with support for cross-references.
- Generates internal links (unlike :manpage: which generates external
URLs).
- Checks that target exists withing our source tree.
Side-effect of hyperlinking is that typos in program and option names
are now detected by Sphinx.
Candidate -options were detected using:
find -name *.rst | xargs grep '``-[^`]'
and then modified from ``-o`` to :option:`-o` using regex
s/``\(-[^`]\+\)``/:option:`\1`/
+ manual modifications where necessary.
Non-hyphenated options were detected by looking at context around
program names:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst | sort -u
and grepping for program name with trailing whitespace.
Stand-alone program names like ``named`` are not hyperlinked in this
commit.
The markup allows referencing individual options, and also makes them
more legible (no more thin red text on gray background).
Most of the work was done using regexes:
s/^``-\(.*\)``$/.. option:: -\1\r/
s/^``+\(.*\)``$/.. option:: +\1\r/
on bin/**/*.rst files along with visual inspection and hand-edits,
mostly for positional arguments.
Regex for rndc.rst:
s/^``\(.*\)``/.. option:: \1\r/
+ hand edits to remove extra asterisk and whitespace here and there.
Replace the hard-coded paths for various BIND 9 files (configuration,
pid, etc.) in the man pages and ARM with compile-time values using the
sphinx-build replace system.
This is more complicated, because the restructured text specification
doesn't allow |substitions| inside ``code-blocks``, so for each specific
file we had to create own substition which is sub-optimal, but it is
only way how to do this without adding Sphinx extension.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
as libdns is no longer exported, it's not necessary to have
init and shutdown functions. the only purpose they served
was to create a private mctx and run dst_lib_init(), which
can be called directly instead.
The flow of operations in dispatch is changing and will now be similar
for both UDP and TCP queries:
1) Call dns_dispatch_addresponse() to assign a query ID and register
that we'll be listening for a response with that ID soon. the
parameters for this function include callback functions to inform the
caller when the socket is connected and when the message has been
sent, as well as a task action that will be sent when the response
arrives. (later this could become a netmgr callback, but at this
stage to minimize disruption to the calling code, we continue to use
isc_task for the response event.) on successful completion of this
function, a dispatch entry object will be instantiated.
2) Call dns_dispatch_connect() on the dispatch entry. this runs
isc_nm_udpconnect() or isc_nm_tcpdnsconnect(), as needed, and begins
listening for responses. the caller is informed via a callback
function when the connection is established.
3) Call dns_dispatch_send() on the dispatch entry. this runs
isc_nm_send() to send a request.
4) Call dns_dispatch_removeresponse() to terminate listening and close
the connection.
Implementation comments below:
- As we will be using netmgr buffers now. code to send the length in
TCP queries has also been removed as that is handled by the netmgr.
- TCP dispatches can be used by multiple simultaneous queries, so
dns_dispatch_connect() now checks whether the dispatch is already
connected before calling isc_nm_tcpdnsconnect() again.
- Running dns_dispatch_getnext() from a non-network thread caused a
crash due to assertions in the netmgr read functions that appear to be
unnecessary now. the assertions have been removed.
- fctx->nqueries was formerly incremented when the connection was
successful, but is now incremented when the query is started and
decremented if the connection fails.
- It's no longer necessary for each dispatch to have a pool of tasks, so
there's now a single task per dispatch.
- Dispatch code to avoid UDP ports already in use has been removed.
- dns_resolver and dns_request have been modified to use netmgr callback
functions instead of task events. some additional changes were needed
to handle shutdown processing correctly.
- Timeout processing is not yet fully converted to use netmgr timeouts.
- Fixed a lock order cycle reported by TSAN (view -> zone-> adb -> view)
by by calling dns_zt functions without holding the view lock.
- removed unused functions
- changed some public functions to static that are never called
from outside client.c
- removed unused types and function prototypes
- renamed dns_client_destroy() to dns_client_detach()
The previous versions of BIND 9 exported its internal libraries so that
they can be used by third-party applications more easily. Certain
library functions were altered from specific BIND-only behavior to more
generic behavior when used by other applications.
This commit removes the function isc_lib_register() that was used by
external applications to enable the functionality.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
Previously, netmgr, taskmgr, timermgr and socketmgr all had their own
isc_<*>mgr_create() and isc_<*>mgr_destroy() functions. The new
isc_managers_create() and isc_managers_destroy() fold all four into a
single function and makes sure the objects are created and destroy in
correct order.
Especially now, when taskmgr runs on top of netmgr, the correct order is
important and when the code was duplicated at many places it's easy to
make mistake.
The former isc_<*>mgr_create() and isc_<*>mgr_destroy() functions were
made private and a single call to isc_managers_create() and
isc_managers_destroy() is required at the program startup / shutdown.
This commit changes the taskmgr to run the individual tasks on the
netmgr internal workers. While an effort has been put into keeping the
taskmgr interface intact, couple of changes have been made:
* The taskmgr has no concept of universal privileged mode - rather the
tasks are either privileged or unprivileged (normal). The privileged
tasks are run as a first thing when the netmgr is unpaused. There
are now four different queues in in the netmgr:
1. priority queue - netievent on the priority queue are run even when
the taskmgr enter exclusive mode and netmgr is paused. This is
needed to properly start listening on the interfaces, free
resources and resume.
2. privileged task queue - only privileged tasks are queued here and
this is the first queue that gets processed when network manager
is unpaused using isc_nm_resume(). All netmgr workers need to
clean the privileged task queue before they all proceed normal
operation. Both task queues are processed when the workers are
finished.
3. task queue - only (traditional) task are scheduled here and this
queue along with privileged task queues are process when the
netmgr workers are finishing. This is needed to process the task
shutdown events.
4. normal queue - this is the queue with netmgr events, e.g. reading,
sending, callbacks and pretty much everything is processed here.
* The isc_taskmgr_create() now requires initialized netmgr (isc_nm_t)
object.
* The isc_nm_destroy() function now waits for indefinite time, but it
will print out the active objects when in tracing mode
(-DNETMGR_TRACE=1 and -DNETMGR_TRACE_VERBOSE=1), the netmgr has been
made a little bit more asynchronous and it might take longer time to
shutdown all the active networking connections.
* Previously, the isc_nm_stoplistening() was a synchronous operation.
This has been changed and the isc_nm_stoplistening() just schedules
the child sockets to stop listening and exits. This was needed to
prevent a deadlock as the the (traditional) tasks are now executed on
the netmgr threads.
* The socket selection logic in isc__nm_udp_send() was flawed, but
fortunatelly, it was broken, so we never hit the problem where we
created uvreq_t on a socket from nmhandle_t, but then a different
socket could be picked up and then we were trying to run the send
callback on a socket that had different threadid than currently
running.
Previously, the taskmgr, timermgr and socketmgr had a constructor
variant, that would create the mgr on top of existing appctx. This was
no longer true and isc_<*>mgr was just calling isc_<*>mgr_create()
directly without any extra code.
This commit just cleans up the extra function.
This commit extends the perl Configure script to also check for libssl
in addition to libcrypto and change the vcxproj source files to link
with both libcrypto and libssl.
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.
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.
