Commit 4b3d0c66009d30f5c0bc12ee128fc59f1d853f44 has removed them, but
did not remove few traces in documentation and help. Remove them from
remaining places.
Instead of creating new memory pools for each new dns_message, change
dns_message_create() method to optionally accept externally created
dns_fixedname_t and dns_rdataset_t memory pools. This allows us to
preallocate the memory pools in ns_client and dns_resolver units for the
lifetime of dns_resolver_t and ns_clientmgr_t.
The isc_buffer_reserve() would be passed a reference to the buffer
pointer, which was unnecessary as the pointer would never be changed
in the current implementation. Remove the extra dereference.
All we need for compression is a very small hash set of compression
offsets, because most of the information we need (the previously added
names) can be found in the message using the compression offsets.
This change combines dns_compress_find() and dns_compress_add() into
one function dns_compress_name() that both finds any existing suffix,
and adds any new prefix to the table. The old split led to performance
problems caused by duplicate names in the compression context.
Compression contexts are now either small or large, which the caller
chooses depending on the expected size of the message. There is no
dynamic resizing.
There is a behaviour change: compression now acts on all the labels in
each name, instead of just the last few.
A small benchmark suggests this is about 2x faster.
There was a proposal in the late 1990s that it might, but it turned
out to be unworkable. See RFC 6891, Extension Mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS(0)), section 5, Extended Label Types.
The remnants of the code that supported this in BIND are redundant.
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as a suggestion to inline a function is obsolete.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.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
The ISC_MEM_DEBUGSIZE and ISC_MEM_DEBUGCTX did sanity checks on matching
size and memory context on the memory returned to the allocator. Those
will no longer needed when most of the allocator will be replaced with
jemalloc.

CID 320481: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL)
Null-checking "input" suggests that it may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.

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.
wire_test is not only used by the dnstap system test, but also in
fuzz testing. it doesn't need to be installed, but it's useful to have it
built when BIND is. this commit moves it back from bin/tests/system to
bin/tests, as a noinst_PROGRAM so that it's built by "make all" but
not installed.
The bin/tests/wire_test helper program is currently not included in any
Makefile.am file. Move its source code to bin/tests/system and build it
along other helper tools when dnstap support is requested as the
"dnstap" system test needs this tool in order to pass.
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.
4184. [bug] Fixed a possible memory leak in name compression
when rendering long messages. (Also, improved
wire_test for testing such messages.) [RT #40375]
