This commit adds points to the CHANGES and the release notes about
supporting remote TLS certificates verification and support for Strict
and Mutual TLS transport connections verification.
Mention that some old cryptographic library versions lack the
functionality to implement ignoring the Subject field (and thus the
Common Name) when establishing DoT connections.
This commit updates the reference manual with short descriptions of
different TLS authentication modes, as mentioned in the RFC 9103,
Section 9.3 (Opportunistic TLS, Strict TLS, Mutual TLS), and mentions
how these authentication modes can be achieved via BIND's
configuration file.
This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS into BIND. It does so
by implementing the backing code for 'hostname' and 'ca-file' options
of the 'tls' statement. The commit also updates the documentation
accordingly.
This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS to dig.
The new command-line options and their behaviour are modelled after
kdig (+tls-ca, +tls-hostname, +tls-certfile, +tls-keyfile) for
compatibility reasons. That is, using +tls-* is sufficient to enable
DoT in dig, implying +tls-ca
If there is no other DNS transport specified via command-line,
specifying any of +tls-* options makes dig use DoT. In this case, its
behaviour is the same as if +tls-ca is specified: that is, the remote
peer's certificate is verified using the platform-specific
intermediate CA certificates store. This behaviour is introduced for
compatibility with kdig.
This seems to be most appropriate way to ensure consistency between
release tarballs and public presentation on ReadTheDocs.
Previous attempt with removing docutils constraint, which relied on pip
depedency solver to pick the same packages as in CI was flawed. RTD
installs a bit different set of packages so it was inherently
unreliable.
As a result RTD pulled in sphinx-rtd-theme==0.4.3 while CI
had 1.0.0, and this inconsistency caused Table of Contents in Release
Notes to render incorrectly. Previous solution was to downgrade
docutils to < 0.17, but I think we should rather pin exact versions.

Currently our CI images we use to build docs (which subsequently get
into release tarballs) are using docutils 0.17.1, which is latest version
which fulfills Sphinx 4.5.0 requirement for docutils < 0.18.
The old requirement for docutils < 0.17 was causing discrepancy between
the way we build release artifacts and the docs on ReadTheDocs.org which
uses doc/arm/requirements.txt from our repo.
Remove the limit for RDT with hope that it will pull latest permissible
version of docutils.

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.*=

Sphinx "standard domain" provides directive types ".. program::" and
".. option::" to create link anchor for a program name + option combination.
These can be referenced using :ref:`program option` syntax.
The problem is that Sphinx 1.8.5 (e.g. in Ubuntu 18.04) generates
conflicting link targets if a page contains two option directives
starting with the same word, e.g.:
.. program:: dnssec-settime
.. option:: -P date
.. option:: -P ds date
The reason is that option directive consumes only first word as "option
name" (-P) and all the rest is considered "option argument" (date, ds
date). Newer versions of Sphinx (e.g. 4.5.0) handle this by creating
numbered link anchors, but older versions warn and BIND build system
turns the warning into a hard error.
To handle that we use method recommended by Sphinx maintainer:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/10218#issuecomment-1059925508
As a bonus it provides more accurate link anchors for sub-options.
Alternatives considered:
- Replacing standard domain definition of .. option - causes more
problems, see BIND issue #3294.
- Removing hyperlinks for options - that would be a step back.
Fixes: #3295

The Debian 11 (bullseye) Docker image, which GitLab CI uses for building
documentation, currently contains the following package versions:
- Sphinx 4.5.0
- sphinx-rtd-theme 1.0.0
- docutils 0.17.1
Regenerate the man pages to match contents produced in a Sphinx
environment using the above package versions. This is necessary to
prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.

Catalog zones change of ownership is special mechanism to facilitate
controlled migration of a member zone from one catalog to another.
It is implemented using catalog zones property named "coo" and is
documented in DNS catalog zones draft version 5 document.
Implement the feature using a new hash table in the catalog zone
structure, which holds the added "coo" properties for the catalog zone
(containing the target catalog zone's name), and the key for the hash
table being the member zone's name for which the "coo" property is being
created.
Change some log messages to have consistent zone name quoting types.
Update the ARM with change of ownership documentation and usage
examples.
Add tests which check newly the added features.
(cherry picked from commit bb837db4ee)
According to DNS catalog zones draft version 5 document, catalog
zone custom properties must be placed under the "ext" label.
Make necessary changes to support the new custom properties syntax in
catalog zones with version "2" of the schema.
Change the default catalog zones schema version from "1" to "2" in
ARM to prepare for the new features and changes which come starting
from this commit in order to support the latest DNS catalog zones draft
document.
Make some restructuring in ARM and rename the term catalog zone "option"
to "custom property" to better reflect the terms used in the draft.
Change the version of 'catalog1.zone.' catalog zone in the "catz" system
test to "2", and leave the version of 'catalog2.zone.' catalog zone at
version "1" to test both versions.
Add tests to check that the new syntax works only with the new schema
version, and that the old syntax works only with the legacy schema
version catalog zones.

Mention in the DNSSEC guide in the "revert to unsigned" recipe that you
can publish CDS and CDNSKEY DELETE records to remove the corresponding
DS records from the parent zone.
(cherry picked from commit f088657eb1)
There are a couple of problems with dns_request_createvia(): a UDP
retry count of zero means unlimited retries (it should mean no
retries), and the overall request timeout is not enforced. The
combination of these bugs means that requests can be retried forever.
This change alters calls to dns_request_createvia() to avoid the
infinite retry bug by providing an explicit retry count. Previously,
the calls specified infinite retries and relied on the limit implied
by the overall request timeout and the UDP timeout (which did not work
because the overall timeout is not enforced). The `udpretries`
argument is also changed to be the number of retries; previously, zero
was interpreted as infinity because of an underflow to UINT_MAX, which
appeared to be a mistake. And `mdig` is updated to match the change in
retry accounting.
The bug could be triggered by zone maintenance queries, including
NOTIFY messages, DS parental checks, refresh SOA queries and stub zone
nameserver lookups. It could also occur with `nsupdate -r 0`.
(But `mdig` had its own code to avoid the bug.)

After some back and forth, it was decidede to match the configuration
option with unbound ("so-reuseport"), PowerDNS ("reuseport") and/or
nginx ("reuseport").

Previously, the option to enable kernel load balancing of the sockets
was always enabled when supported by the operating system (SO_REUSEPORT
on Linux and SO_REUSEPORT_LB on FreeBSD).
It was reported that in scenarios where the networking threads are also
responsible for processing long-running tasks (like RPZ processing, CATZ
processing or large zone transfers), this could lead to intermitten
brownouts for some clients, because the thread assigned by the operating
system might be busy. In such scenarious, the overall performance would
be better served by threads competing over the sockets because the idle
threads can pick up the incoming traffic.
Add new configuration option (`load-balance-sockets`) to allow enabling
or disabling the load balancing of the sockets.

Historically, the inline keyword was a strong suggestion to the compiler
that it should inline the function marked inline. As compilers became
better at optimising, this functionality has receded, and using inline
as a suggestion to inline a function is obsolete. The compiler will
happily ignore it and inline something else entirely if it finds that's
a better optimisation.
Therefore, remove all the occurences of the inline keyword with static
functions inside single compilation unit and leave the decision whether
to inline a function or not entirely on the compiler
NOTE: We keep the usage the inline keyword when the purpose is to change
the linkage behaviour.

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.

Gcc 7+ and Clang 10+ have implemented __attribute__((fallthrough)) which
is explicit version of the /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment we are currently
using.
Add and apply FALLTHROUGH macro that uses the attribute if available,
but does nothing on older compilers.
In one case (lib/dns/zone.c), using the macro revealed that we were
using the /* FALLTHROUGH */ comment in wrong place, remove that comment.

From an attacker's point of view, a VLA declaration is essentially a
primitive for performing arbitrary arithmetic on the stack pointer. If
the attacker can control the size of a VLA they have a very powerful
tool for causing memory corruption.
To mitigate this kind of attack, and the more general class of stack
clash vulnerabilities, C compilers insert extra code when allocating a
VLA to probe the growing stack one page at a time. If these probes hit
the stack guard page, the program will crash.
From the point of view of a C programmer, there are a few things to
consider about VLAs:
* If it is important to handle allocation failures in a controlled
manner, don't use VLAs. You can use VLAs if it is OK for
unreasonable inputs to cause an uncontrolled crash.
* If the VLA is known to be smaller than some known fixed size,
use a fixed size array and a run-time check to ensure it is large
enough. This will be more efficient than the compiler's stack
probes that need to cope with arbitrary-size VLAs.
* If the VLA might be large, allocate it on the heap. The heap
allocator can allocate multiple pages in one shot, whereas the
stack clash probes work one page at a time.
Most of the existing uses of VLAs in BIND are in test code where they
are benign, but there was one instance in `named`, in the GSS-TSIG
verification code, which has now been removed.
This commit adjusts the style guide and the C compiler flags to allow
VLAs in test code but not elsewhere.

Commit 4ca74eee49 update the zone grammar
such that the zone statement is printed with the valid options per
zone type.
This commit is a follow-up, putting back the ZONE heading and adding
a note that these zone statements may also be put inside the view
statement.
It is tricky to actually print the zone statements inside
the view statement, and so we decided that we would add a note to say
that this is possible.

While backporting !5934 I noticed a copy&paste mistake in TSIG
chapter of the ARM.
The incorrect reference was introduced by "Add hyperlinks from
program options to definition in man pages" commit but it is not
worth creating separate MR for that when the backport is not merged
yet.
The named.conf grammar is exported to the manual via
doc/misc/rst-options.pl which is the ultimate source
for the non-grammar parts of the man page.

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.

filter-a which are program names and and option names at the

automatic replacement.

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.
