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.
The $SYSTEMTESTTOP shell variable if often set to .. in various shell
scripts inside bin/tests/system/, but most of the time it is only
used one line later, while sourcing conf.sh. This hardly improves
code readability.
$SYSTEMTESTTOP is also used for the purpose of referencing
scripts/files living in bin/tests/system/, but given that the
variable is always set to a short, relative path, we can drop it and
replace all of its occurrences with the relative path without adversely
affecting code readability.
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.
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.
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
The first step in all existing setup.sh scripts is to call clean.sh. To
reduce code duplication and ensure all system tests added in the future
behave consistently with existing ones, invoke clean.sh from run.sh
before calling setup.sh.
- 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.
- removed a few remaing places where output wasn't being passed
through echo_i or cat_i
- added a "digcomp" function to conf.sh.in to send digcomp.pl output
through cat_i and return the correct exit value
- set SYSTESTDIR when calling echo_i from nsX directories, so that
the test name will always be printed correctly
- fixed a test name typo in conf.sh.in
- 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
During the "check flushtree clears adb correctly" check, expecting
"ns.flushtest.example" to always be the first name in the ADB dump is
fragile, because in a certain corner case "a.root-servers.nil" will be
the first name instead.
As the purpose of the relevant check is to ensure "ns.flushtest.example"
is removed from ADB by "rndc flushtree flushtest.example", search the
entire list of names present in ADB instead of just the first entry when
looking for "ns.flushtest.example".
Dumping the cache is an asynchronous operation, so sleeping for a fixed
amount of time after running "rndc dumpdb" is imperfect as dumping cache
contents may take longer than expected on slower machines. Instead of
always sleeping for 1 second, wait until the "; Dump complete" line
appears in the dump or 10 seconds pass, whichever comes first.
Unless configured otherwise in named.conf, "rndc dumpdb" causes a cache
dump to be written to a file called "named_dump.db" in the working
directory of the given named instance. Repeatedly using this command
throughout different checks in the cacheclean system test causes cache
dumps for older checks to be overwritten, which hinders failure
diagnosis. Prevent this by moving each cache dump to a check-specific
location after running "rndc dumpdb".
Furthermore, during the "check flushtree clears adb correctly" check,
dump_cache() is called twice without renaming the resulting files.
Prevent the first cache dump from being overwritten by moving it to a
different file before calling "rndc dumpdb" for the second time.

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]
Updated CHANGES note:
3606. [func] "rndc flushtree" now flushes matching
records in the address database and bad cache
as well as the DNS cache. (Previously only the
DNS cache was flushed.) [RT #33970]
3606. [func] "rndc flushtree -all" flushes matching
records in the ADB and bad cache as well as
the DNS cache. (Without the "-all" option,
flushtree will still only flush records from
the DNS cache.) [RT #33970]
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]
