The aim is to do less work per byte:
* Check the bounds for each label, instead of checking the
bounds for each character.
* Instead of copying one character at a time from the wire to
the name, copy entire runs of sequential labels using memmove()
to make the most of its fast loop.
* To remember where the name ends, we only need to set the end
marker when we see a compression pointer or when we reach the
root label. There is no need to check if we jumped back and
conditionally update the counter for every character.
* To parse a compression pointer, we no longer take a diversion
around the outer loop in between reading the upper byte of the
pointer and the lower byte.
* The parser state machine is now implicit in the instruction
pointer, instead of being an explicit variable. Similarly,
when we reach the root label we break directly out of the loop
instead of setting a second state machine variable.
* DNS_NAME_DOWNCASE is never used with dns_name_fromwire() so
that option is no longer supported.
I have removed this comment which dated from January 1999 when
dns_name_fromwire() was first introduced:
/*
* Note: The following code is not optimized for speed, but
* rather for correctness. Speed will be addressed in the future.
*/
No functional change, apart from removing support for the unused
DNS_NAME_DOWNCASE option. The new code is about 2x faster than the
old code: best case 11x faster, worst case 1.4x faster.
There were a number of places where the zone table should have been
locked, but wasn't, when dns_zt_apply was called.
Added a isc_rwlocktype_t type parameter to dns_zt_apply and adjusted
all calls to using it. Removed locks in callers.
Instead of doing incremental zone loading with fixed quantum - 100
loaded lines per event, move the zone loading process to the offloaded
libuv threads using isc_work_enqueue() API.
This has the advantage that the thread scheduling is given back to the
operating system that understands blocking operations, and the zone
loading operation doesn't block the networking threads directly.
Incremental file loads now use loopmgr events instead of task events.
The dns_master_loadstreaminc(), _loadbufferinc(), _loadlexer() and
_loadlexerinc() functions were not used in BIND, and have been removed.
dns_rdata_checksvcb performs data entry checks on SVCB records.
In particular that _dns SVBC record have an 'alpn' and if that 'alpn'
parameter indicates HTTP is in use that 'dophath' is present.
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.
Originally RBT node stored three lowest bits from dns_name_t attributes.
This had a curious side-effect noticed by Tony Finch:
If you create an rbt node from a DYNAMIC name then the flag will be
propagated through dns_rbt_namefromnode() ... if you subsequently call
dns_name_free() it will try to isc_mem_put() a piece of an rbt node ...
but dns_name_free() REQUIRE()s that the name is dynamic so in the usual
case where rbt nodes are created from non-dynamic names, this kind of
code will fail an assertion.
This is a bug it dates back to june 1999 when NAMEATTR_DYNAMIC was
invented.
Apparently it does not happen often :-)
I'm planning to get rid of DNS_NAMEATTR_ definitions and bit operations,
so removal of this "three-bit-subset" assignment is a first step.
We can keep only the ABSOLUTE flag in RBT node and nothing else because
names attached to rbt nodes are always readonly: The internal node_name()
function always sets the NAMEATTR_READONLY when making a dns_name that
refers to the node's name, so the READONLY flag will be set in the name
returned by dns_rbt_namefromnode().

Getting the recorded value of 'edns-udp-size' from the resolver requires
strong attach to the dns_view because we are accessing `view->resolver`.
This is not the case in places (f.e. dns_zone unit) where `.udpsize` is
accessed. By moving the .udpsize field from `struct dns_resolver` to
`struct dns_view`, we can access the value directly even with weakly
attached dns_view without the need to lock the view because `.udpsize`
can be accessed after the dns_view object has been shut down.
The dns_view implements weak and strong reference counting. When strong
reference counting reaches zero, the adb, ntatable and resolver objects
are shut down and detached.
In dns_zone and dns_nta the dns_view was weakly attached, but the
view->resolver reference was accessed directly leading to dereferencing
the NULL pointer.
Add dns_view_getresolver() method which attaches to view->resolver
object under the lock (if it still exists) ensuring the dns_resolver
will be kept referenced until not needed.
The HMACs and GSSAPI are just using unallocated values.
Moving them around shouldn't cause issues.
Only the dnssec system test knew the internal number in use for hmacmd5.
When fuzzing it is useful for all signing operations to happen
at a specific time for reproducability. Add two variables to
the message structure (fuzzing and fuzztime) to specify if a
fixed time should be used and the value of that time.
Instead of always creating the trust anchor timer (dns_nta_t) on the
main loop, create the timer on the current loop and associate each
dns_nta_t object to the loop it was created on. This simplifies the
timer handling as everything is run on the associated loop.
During the change, the dns_nta_t structure was renamed to dns__nta_t
and changed to be fully internal to the nta.c compilation unit, and the
dns_ntatable_t structure was made opaque. This required no change to
code using the API as dns_nta_t never had any external users and the
dns_ntatable_t was properly accessed only by using function calls.
Instead of creating the response policy zone deferred update timer when
creating the response policy zone object, create it on demand on the
current loop and destroy it as soon as the timer has finished its job.
There's a side-effect - the processing of the response policy zone
update is now done on the current loop - previously, it was always on
the main loop.
Instead of creating the catalog zone deferred update timer when creating
the catalog zone object, create it on demand on the current loop and
destroy it as soon as the timer has finished its job. There's a
side-effect - the processing of the catalog zone update is now done on
the current loop - previously, it was always on the main loop.
This change prepares ground for sending DNS requests using DoT,
which, in particular, will be used for forwarding dynamic updates
to TLS-enabled primaries.
In order to make xfrin.c:get_create_tlsctx() reusable, move the function
into transport.c, and make changes into its prototype to not use the
'dns_xfrin_ctx_t' type, thus making it more universal.
This change prepares ground for adding transport support into the
dispatch manager.
Also, move the typedefs for 'dns_transport_t' and 'dns_transport_list_t'
from transport.h into types.h.
If there was a collision of key id across algorithms it was not
possible to determine where counter applies to which algorithm for
xml statistics while for json only one of the values was emitted.
The key names are now "<algorithm-number>+<id>" (e.g. "8+54274").
dns_request_create() was a front-end to dns_request_createvia() that
was only used by test binaries. dns_request_createvia() has been
renamed to dns_request_create(), and the test programs that formerly
used dns_request_create() have been updated to use the new parameters.
It is possible to bypass Response Rate Limiting (RRL)
`responses-per-second` limitation using specially crafted wildcard
names, because the current implementation, when encountering a found
DNS name generated from a wildcard record, just strips the leftmost
label of the name before making a key for the bucket.
While that technique helps with limiting random requests like
<random>.example.com (because all those requests will be accounted
as belonging to a bucket constructed from "example.com" name), it does
not help with random names like subdomain.<random>.example.com.
The best solution would have been to strip not just the leftmost
label, but as many labels as necessary until reaching the suffix part
of the wildcard record from which the found name is generated, however,
we do not have that information readily available in the context of RRL
processing code.
Fix the issue by interpreting all valid wildcard domain names as
the zone's origin name concatenated to the "*" name, so they all will
be put into the same bucket.
Implement the configuration option with its checking and parsing parts.
The option should be later used by BIND to set an extended error
code (EDE) for the queries modified in the result of RPZ processing.
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.
When doing a dnssec-policy reconfiguration from a zone with NSEC only
keys to a zone that uses NSEC3, figure out to wait with building the
NSEC3 chain.
Previously, BIND 9 would attempt to sign such a zone, but failed to
do so because the NSEC3 chain conflicted with existing DNSKEY records
in the zone that were not compatible with NSEC3.
There exists logic for detecting such a case in the functions
dnskey_sane() (in lib/dns/zone.c) and check_dnssec() (in
lib/ns/update.c). Both functions look very similar so refactor them
to use the same code and call the new function (called
dns_zone_check_dnskey_nsec3()).
Also update the dns_nsec_nseconly() function to take an additional
parameter 'diff' that, if provided, will be checked whether an
offending NSEC only DNSKEY will be deleted from the zone. If so,
this key will not be considered when checking the zone for NSEC only
DNSKEYs. This is needed to allow a transition from an NSEC zone with
NSEC only DNSKEYs to an NSEC3 zone.
Clean up dns_rdatalist_tordataset() and dns_rdatalist_fromrdataset()
functions by making them return void, because they cannot fail.
Clean up other functions that subsequently cannot fail.
"rndc fetchlimit" now also prints a list of domain names that are
currently rate-limited by "fetches-per-zone".
The "fetchlimit" system test has been updated to use this feature
to check that domain limits are applied correctly.
this command runs dns_adb_dumpquota() to display all servers
in the ADB that are being actively fetchlimited by the
fetches-per-server controls (i.e, servers with a nonzero average
timeout ratio or with the quota having been reduced from the
default value).
the "fetchlimit" system test has been updated to use the
new command to check quota values instead of "rndc dumpdb".
We do this by adding callbacks for when a node is added or deleted
from the keytable. dns_keytable_add and dns_keytable_delete where
extended to take a callback. dns_keytable_deletekey does not remove
the node so it was not extended.
When namespace is grafted on, the DNSSEC proofs for non existance
need to come from that namespace and not a higher namespace. We
add 3 function dns_view_sfd_add, dns_view_sfd_del and dns_view_sfd_find
to add, remove and find the namespace that should be used when
checking NSEC records.
dns_view_sfd_add adds a name to a tree, creating the tree if needed.
If the name already existed in the tree the reference count is
increased otherwise it is initalised to 1.
dns_view_sfd_del removes a reference to a name in the tree, if the
count goes to 0 the node is removed.
dns_view_sfd_find returns the namespace to be used to entered name.
If there isn't an enclosing name in the tree, or the tree does not
yet exist, the root name is returned.
Access to the tree is controlled by a read/write lock.
The "glue-cache" option was marked as deprecated by commit
5ae33351f2 (first released in BIND 9.17.6,
back in October 2020), so now obsolete that option, removing all code
and documentation related to it.
Note: this causes the glue cache feature to be permanently enabled, not
disabled.
Update the defaultconf with the built-in policies. These will now be
printed with "named -C".
Change the defines in kasp.h to be strings, so they can be concatenated
in the defaultconf. This means when creating a kasp structure, we no
longer initialize the defaults (this is fine because only kaspconf.c
uses dns_kasp_create() and it inherits from the default policy).
In kaspconf.c, the default values now need to be parsed from string.
Introduce some variables so we don't need to do get_duration multiple
times on the same configuration option.
Finally, clang-format-14 decided to do some random formatting changes.
The conversion of `DNS_R_PARTIALMATCH` into `DNS_R_NOTFOUND` is done
in the `dns_rbt_deletename()` function so there is no need to do that
in `dns_fwdtable_delete()`.
Add a possible return value of `ISC_R_NOSPACE` into the header file's
function description comment.
When processing a catalog zone member zone make sure that there is no
configured pre-existing forward zone with that name.
Refactor the `dns_fwdtable_find()` function to not alter the
`DNS_R_PARTIALMATCH` result (coming from `dns_rbt_findname()`) into
`DNS_R_SUCCESS`, so that now the caller can differentiate partial
and exact matches. Patch the calling sites to expect and process
the new return value.
It is simply called "compression" now, without any qualifiers. Also,
improve some variable names in dns_name_towire2() so they are not two
letter abbreviations for global something.
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.
