The libirs contained own re-implementations of the getaddrinfo,
getnameinfo and gai_strerror + irs_context and irs_dnsconf API that was
unused anywhere in the BIND 9.
Keep just the irs_resonf API that is being extensively used to parse
/etc/resolv.conf by several of BIND 9 tools.
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
This work cleans up the API which includes couple of things:
1. Make the isc_appctx_t type fully opaque
2. Protect all access to the isc_app_t members via stdatomics
3. sigwait() is part of POSIX.1, remove dead non-sigwait code
4. Remove unused code: isc_appctx_set{taskmgr,sockmgr,timermgr}
Replace dns_fixedname_init() calls followed by dns_fixedname_name()
calls with calls to dns_fixedname_initname() where it is possible
without affecting current behavior and/or performance.
This patch was mostly prepared using Coccinelle and the following
semantic patch:
@@
expression fixedname, name;
@@
- dns_fixedname_init(&fixedname);
...
- name = dns_fixedname_name(&fixedname);
+ name = dns_fixedname_initname(&fixedname);
The resulting set of changes was then manually reviewed to exclude false
positives and apply minor tweaks.
It is likely that more occurrences of this pattern can be refactored in
an identical way. This commit only takes care of the low-hanging fruit.
3760. [bug] Improve SIT with native PKCS#11 and on Windows.
[RT #35433]
3759. [port] Enable delve on Windows. [RT #35441]
3758. [port] Enable export library APIs on windows. [RT #35382]
3741. [func] "delve" (domain entity lookup and validation engine):
A new tool with dig-like semantics for performing DNS
lookups, with internal DNSSEC validation, using the
same resolver and validator logic as named. This
allows easy validation of DNSSEC data in environments
with untrustworthy resolvers, and assists with
troubleshooting of DNSSEC problems. (Note: not yet
available on win32.) [RT #32406]
on a missing resolv.conf file and initializes the
structure as if it had been configured with:
nameserver ::1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Note: Callers will need to be updated to treat
ISC_R_FILENOTFOUND as a qualified success or else
they will leak memory. The following code fragment
will work with both only and new versions without
changing the behaviour of the existing code.
resconf = NULL;
result = irs_resconf_load(mctx, "/etc/resolv.conf",
&resconf);
if (result != ISC_SUCCESS) {
if (resconf != NULL)
irs_resconf_destroy(&resconf);
....
}
