this commit removes the deprecated "sortlist" option. the option
is now marked as ancient; it is a fatal error to use it in
named.conf.
the sortlist system test has been removed, and other tests that
referenced the option have been modified.
the enabling functions, dns_message_setsortorder() and
dns_rdataset_towiresorted(), have also been removed.
Remove the complicated mechanism that could be (in theory) used by
external libraries to register new categories and modules with
statically defined lists in <isc/log.h>. This is similar to what we
have done for <isc/result.h> result codes. All the libraries are now
internal to BIND 9, so we don't need to provide a mechanism to register
extra categories and modules.
This adds support for User Statically Defined Tracing (USDT). On
Linux, this uses the header from SystemTap and dtrace utility, but the
support is universal as long as dtrace is available.
Also add the required infrastructure to add probes to libisc, libdns and
libns libraries, where most of the probes will be.
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.
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/.
BIND 9 plugins are installed using Automake's pkglib_LTLIBRARIES stanza,
which causes the relevant shared objects to be placed in the
$(libdir)/@PACKAGE@/ directory, where @PACKAGE@ is expanded to the
lowercase form of the first argument passed to AC_INIT(), i.e. "bind".
Meanwhile, NAMED_PLUGINDIR - the preprocessor macro that the
ns_plugin_expandpath() function uses for determining the absolute path
to a plugin for which only a filename has been provided (rather than a
path) - is set to $(libdir)/named. This discrepancy breaks loading
plugins using just their filenames. Fix the issue (and also prevent it
from reoccurring) by setting NAMED_PLUGINDIR to $(pkglibdir).
The BIND 9 libraries are considered to be internal only and hence the
API and ABI changes a lot. Keeping track of the API/ABI changes takes
time and it's a complicated matter as the safest way to make everything
stable would be to bump any library in the dependency chain as in theory
if libns links with libdns, and a binary links with both, and we bump
the libdns SOVERSION, but not the libns SOVERSION, the old libns might
be loaded by binary pulling old libdns together with new libdns loaded
by the binary. The situation gets even more complicated with loading
the plugins that have been compiled with few versions old BIND 9
libraries and then dynamically loaded into the named.
We are picking the safest option possible and usable for internal
libraries - instead of using -version-info that has only a weak link to
BIND 9 version number, we are using -release libtool option that will
embed the corresponding BIND 9 version number into the library name.
That means that instead of libisc.so.1701 (as an example) the library
will now be named libisc-9.17.10.so.
previously query plugins were strictly synchrounous - the query
process would be interrupted at some point, data would be looked
up or a change would be made, and then the query processing would
resume immediately.
this commit enables query plugins to initiate asynchronous processes
and resume on a completion event, as with recursion.
Parse the configuration of tls objects into SSL_CTX* objects. Listen on
DoT if 'tls' option is setup in listen-on directive. Use DoT/DoH ports
for DoT/DoH.
While libltdl is a feature-rich library, BIND 9 code only uses its basic
capabilities, which are also provided by libuv and which BIND 9 already
uses for other purposes. As libuv's cross-platform shared library
handling interface is modeled after the POSIX dlopen() interface,
converting code using the latter to the former is simple. Replace
libltdl function calls with their libuv counterparts, refactoring the
code as necessary. Remove all use of libltdl from the BIND 9 source
tree.
Since Mac OS X 10.1, Mach-O object files are by default built with a
so-called two-level namespace which prevents symbol lookups in BIND unit
tests that attempt to override the implementations of certain library
functions from working as intended. This feature can be disabled by
passing the "-flat_namespace" flag to the linker. Fix unit tests
affected by this issue on macOS by adding "-flat_namespace" to LDFLAGS
used for building all object files on that operating system (it is not
enough to only set that flag for the unit test executables).
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
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
