Aurelien DARRAGON 585ece4c92 MEDIUM: stats-file/counters: store and preload stats counters as shm file objects
This is the last patch of the shm stats file series, in this patch we
implement the logic to store and fetch shm stats objects and associate
them to existing shared counters on the current process.

Shm objects are stored in the same memory location as the shm stats file
header. In fact they are stored right after it. All objects (struct
shm_stats_file_object) have the same size (no matter their type), which
allows for easy object traversal without having to check the object's
type, and could permit the use of external tools to scan the SHM in the
future. Each object stores a guid (of GUID_MAX_LEN+1 size) and tgid
which allows to match corresponding shared counters indexes. Also,
as stated before, each object stores the list of users making use of
it. Objects are never released (the map can only grow), but unused
objects (when no more users or active users are found in objects->users),
the object is automatically recycled. Also, each object stores its
type which defines how the object generic data member should be handled.

Upon startup (or reload), haproxy first tries to scan existing shm to
find objects that could be associated to frontends, backends, listeners
or servers in the current config based on GUID. For associations that
couldn't be made, haproxy will automatically create missing objects in
the SHM during late startup. When haproxy matches with an existing object,
it means the counter from an older process is preserved in the new
process, so multiple processes temporarily share the same counter for as
long as required for older processes to eventually exit.

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
