This commit reverts the previous change to use system provided
entropy, as (SYS_)getrandom is very slow on Linux because it is
a syscall.
The change introduced in this commit adds a new call isc_nonce_buf
that uses CSPRNG from cryptographic library provider to generate
secure data that can be and must be used for generating nonces.
Example usage would be DNS cookies.
The isc_random() API has been changed to use fast PRNG that is not
cryptographically secure, but runs entirely in user space. Two
contestants have been considered xoroshiro family of the functions
by Villa&Blackman and PCG by O'Neill. After a consideration the
xoshiro128starstar function has been used as uint32_t random number
provider because it is very fast and has good enough properties
for our usage pattern.
The other change introduced in the commit is the more extensive usage
of isc_random_uniform in places where the usage pattern was
isc_random() % n to prevent modulo bias. For usage patterns where
only 16 or 8 bits are needed (DNS Message ID), the isc_random()
functions has been renamed to isc_random32(), and isc_random16() and
isc_random8() functions have been introduced by &-ing the
isc_random32() output with 0xffff and 0xff. Please note that the
functions that uses stripped down bit count doesn't pass our
NIST SP 800-22 based random test.
- mark the 'geoip-use-ecs' option obsolete; warn when it is used
in named.conf
- prohibit 'ecs' ACL tags in named.conf; note that this is a fatal error
since simply ignoring the tags could make ACLs behave unpredictably
- re-simplify the radix and iptable code
- clean up dns_acl_match(), dns_aclelement_match(), dns_acl_allowed()
and dns_geoip_match() so they no longer take ecs options
- remove the ECS-specific unit and system test cases
- remove references to ECS from the ARM
The three functions has been modeled after the arc4random family of
functions, and they will always return random bytes.
The isc_random family of functions internally use these CSPRNG (if available):
1. getrandom() libc call (might be available on Linux and Solaris)
2. SYS_getrandom syscall (might be available on Linux, detected at runtime)
3. arc4random(), arc4random_buf() and arc4random_uniform() (available on BSDs and Mac OS X)
4. crypto library function:
4a. RAND_bytes in case OpenSSL
4b. pkcs_C_GenerateRandom() in case PKCS#11 library
4807. [cleanup] isc_rng_randombytes() returns a specified number of
bytes from the PRNG; this is now used instead of
calling isc_rng_random() multiple times. [RT #46230]
Change 4592 was supposed to replace a REQUIRE with a conditional return.
While the latter was added, the former was not removed. Remove the
relevant REQUIRE to fix RT #43822 for good.
4040. [func] Added server-side support for pipelined TCP
queries. TCP connections are no longer closed after
the first query received from a client. (The new
"keep-response-order" option allows clients to be
specified for which the old behavior will still be
used.) [RT #37821]
3804. [bug] Corrected a race condition in dispatch.c in which
portentry could be reset leading to an assertion
failure in socket_search(). (Change #3708
addressed the same issue but was incomplete.)
[RT #35128]
3535. [func] Add support for setting Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) values in named. Most configuration
options which take a "port" option (e.g.,
listen-on, forwarders, also-notify, masters,
notify-source, etc) can now also take a "dscp"
option specifying a code point for use with
outgoing traffic, if supported by the underlying
OS. [RT #27596]
This includes the following changes:
3326. [func] Added task list statistics: task model, worker
threads, quantum, tasks running, tasks ready.
[RT #27678]
3325. [func] Report cache statistics: memory use, number of
nodes, number of hash buckets, hit and miss counts.
[RT #27056]
3324. [test] Add better tests for ADB stats [RT #27057]
3323. [func] Report the number of buckets the resolver is using.
[RT #27020]
3322. [func] Monitor the number of active TCP and UDP dispatches.
[RT #27055]
3321. [func] Monitor the number of recursive fetches and the
number of open sockets, and report these values in
the statistics channel. [RT #27054]
3320. [func] Added support for monitoring of recursing client
count. [RT #27009]
3319. [func] Added support for monitoring of ADB entry count and
hash size. [RT #27057]
3316. [tuning] Improved locking performance when recursing.
[RT #28836]
- Use one lock per memory pool instead of associating
them all with a single 'pool_lock' in the dispatch manager.
- Reduce the critical sections for qid->lock in get_dispsocket(),
deref_portentry() and dns_dispatch_addresponse2().
- Added a memory pool for socket events in dns_dispatch_t.
- Add an isc_socketevent_t member in the resquery_t object, and use
it with isc_socket_sendto2() instead of using isc_socket_sendto()
- Tuned the memory pools in dispatch.c for better performance
under load
