The C standard actually doesn't define char as signed or unsigned, and
it could be either according to underlying architecture. It turns out
that while it's usually signed type, it isn't on arm64 where it's
unsigned.
isc_commandline_parse() return int, just use that instead of the char.
when the 'max-ixfr-ratio' option was added, journal transaction
headers were revised to include a count of RR's in each transaction.
this made it impossible to read old journal files after an upgrade.
this branch restores the ability to read version 1 transaction
headers. when rolling forward, printing journal contents, if
the wrong transaction header format is found, we can switch.
when dns_journal_rollforward() detects a version 1 transaction
header, it returns DNS_R_RECOVERABLE. this triggers zone_postload()
to force a rewrite of the journal file in the new format, and
also to schedule a dump of the zone database with minimal delay.
journal repair is done by dns_journal_compact(), which rewrites
the entire journal, ignoring 'max-journal-size'. journal size is
corrected later.
newly created journal files now have "BIND LOG V9.2" in their headers
instead of "BIND LOG V9". files with the new version string cannot be
read using the old transaction header format. note that this means
newly created journal files will be rejected by older versions of named.
named-journalprint now takes a "-x" option, causing it to print
transaction header information before each delta, including its
format version.
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.
Add a +burst option to mdig so that we have a second to setup the
mdig calls then they run at the start of the next second.
RRL uses 'queries in a second' as a approximation to
'queries per second'. Getting the bursts of traffic to all happen in
the same second should prevent false negatives in the system test.
We now have a second to setup the traffic in. Then the traffic should
be sent at the start of the next second. If that still fails we
should move to +burst=<now+2> (further extend mdig) instead of the
implicit <now+1> as the trigger second.
The dns_message_create() function cannot soft fail (as all memory
allocations either succeed or cause abort), so we change the function to
return void and cleanup the calls.
Move BIND binaries which are neither daemons nor administrative programs
to $bindir. This results in only the following binaries being left in
$sbindir:
- ddns-confgen
- named
- rndc
- rndc-confgen
- tsig-confgen
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 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
All our MSVS Project files share the same intermediate directory. We
know that this doesn't cause any problems, so we can just disable the
detection in the project files.
Example of the warning:
warning MSB8028: The intermediate directory (.\Release\) contains files shared from another project (dnssectool.vcxproj). This can lead to incorrect clean and rebuild behavior.
Our vcxproj files set the WarningLevel to Level3, which is too verbose
for a code that needs to be portable. That basically leads to ignoring
all the errors that MSVC produces. This commits downgrades the
WarningLevel to Level1 and enables treating warnings as errors for
Release builds. For the Debug builds the WarningLevel got upgraded to
Level4, and treating warnings as errors is explicitly disabled.
We should eventually make the code clean of all MSVC warnings, but it's
a long way to go for Level4, so it's more reasonable to start at Level1.
For reference[1], these are the warning levels as described by MSVC
documentation:
* /W0 suppresses all warnings. It's equivalent to /w.
* /W1 displays level 1 (severe) warnings. /W1 is the default setting
in the command-line compiler.
* /W2 displays level 1 and level 2 (significant) warnings.
* /W3 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 (production quality)
warnings. /W3 is the default setting in the IDE.
* /W4 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 warnings, and all level 4
(informational) warnings that aren't off by default. We recommend
that you use this option to provide lint-like warnings. For a new
project, it may be best to use /W4 in all compilations. This option
helps ensure the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.
* /Wall displays all warnings displayed by /W4 and all other warnings
that /W4 doesn't include — for example, warnings that are off by
default.
* /WX treats all compiler warnings as errors. For a new project, it
may be best to use /WX in all compilations; resolving all warnings
ensures the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.

The isc_mem API now crashes on memory allocation failure, and this is
the next commit in series to cleanup the code that could fail before,
but cannot fail now, e.g. isc_result_t return type has been changed to
void for the isc_log API functions that could only return ISC_R_SUCCESS.
When --with-zlib is passed to ./configure (or when the latter
autodetects zlib's presence), libisc uses certain zlib functions and
thus libisc's users should be linked against zlib in that case. Adjust
Makefile variables appropriately to prevent shared build failures caused
by underlinking.
this corrects some style glitches such as:
```
long_function_call(arg, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, "str"
"ing");
```
...by adjusting the penalties for breaking strings and call
parameter lists.
The isc_buffer_allocate() function now cannot fail with ISC_R_MEMORY.
This commit removes all the checks on the return code using the semantic
patch from previous commit, as isc_buffer_allocate() now returns void.
The indentation for dumping the master zone was driven by two
global variables dns_master_indent and dns_master_indentstr. In
threaded mode, this becomes prone to data access races, so this commit
converts the global variables into a local per-context tuple that
consist of count and string.
When a task manager is created, we can now specify an `isc_nm`
object to associate with it; thereafter when the task manager is
placed into exclusive mode, the network manager will be paused.
Until now, the build process for BIND on Windows involved upgrading the
solution file to the version of Visual Studio used on the build host.
Unfortunately, the executable used for that (devenv.exe) is not part of
Visual Studio Build Tools and thus there is no clean way to make that
executable part of a Windows Server container.
Luckily, the solution upgrade process boils down to just adding XML tags
to Visual Studio project files and modifying certain XML attributes - in
files which we pregenerate anyway using win32utils/Configure. Thus,
extend win32utils/Configure with three new command line parameters that
enable it to mimic what "devenv.exe bind9.sln /upgrade" does. This
makes the devenv.exe build step redundant and thus facilitates building
BIND in Windows Server containers.
When printing a packet, dnstap-read checks whether its text form takes
up more than the 2048 bytes allocated for the output buffer by default.
If that is the case, the output buffer is automatically expanded, but
the truncated output is left in the buffer, resulting in malformed data
being printed. Clear the output buffer before expanding it to prevent
this issue from occurring.
- "--with-geoip" is used to enable the legacy GeoIP library.
- "--with-geoip2" is used to enable the new GeoIP2 library
(libmaxminddb), and is on by default if the library is found.
- using both "--with-geoip" and "--with-geoip2" at the same time
is an error.
- an attempt is made to determine the default GeoIP2 database path at
compile time if pkg-config is able to report the module prefix. if
this fails, it will be necessary to set the path in named.conf with
geoip-directory
- Makefiles have been updated, and a stub lib/dns/geoip2.c has been
added for the eventual GeoIP2 search implementation.
