The dns_aclenv_t contains two dns_acl_t - localhost and localnets that
can be swapped with a different ACLs as we configure BIND 9. Instead of
protecting those two pointers with heavyweight read-write lock, use RCU
mechanism to dereference and swap the pointers.
This changes the internal isc_rwlock implementation to:

(The full article available from:

The implementation is based on the The Writer-Preference Lock (C-RW-WP)
variant (see the 3.4 section of the paper for the rationale).
The implemented algorithm has been modified for simplicity and for usage
patterns in rbtdb.c.
The changes compared to the original algorithm:
* We haven't implemented the cohort locks because that would require a
knowledge of NUMA nodes, instead a simple atomic_bool is used as
synchronization point for writer lock.
* The per-thread reader counters are not being used - this would
require the internal thread id (isc_tid_v) to be always initialized,
even in the utilities; the change has a slight performance penalty,
so we might revisit this change in the future. However, this change
also saves a lot of memory, because cache-line aligned counters were
used, so on 32-core machine, the rwlock would be 4096+ bytes big.
* The readers use a writer_barrier that will raise after a while when
readers lock can't be acquired to prevent readers starvation.
* Separate ingress and egress readers counters queues to reduce both
inter and intra-thread contention.
Replace all uses of RUNTIME_CHECK() in lib/isc/include/isc/once.h with
PTHEADS_RUNTIME_CHECK(), in order to improve error reporting for any
once-related run-time failures (by augmenting error messages with
file/line/caller information and the error string corresponding to
errno).
While refactoring the isc_mem_getx(...) usage, couple places were
identified where the memory was resized manually. Use the
isc_mem_reget(...) that was introduced in [GL !5440] to resize the
arrays via function rather than a custom code.
Add new semantic patch to replace the straightfoward uses of:
ptr = isc_mem_{get,allocate}(..., size);
memset(ptr, 0, size);
with the new API call:
ptr = isc_mem_{get,allocate}x(..., size, ISC_MEM_ZERO);
In order to modify the .localhost and .localnets members of the
dns_aclenv, all other processing on the netmgr loops needed to be
stopped using the task exclusive mode. Add the isc_rwlock to the
dns_aclenv, so any modifications to the .localhost and .localnets can be
done under the write lock.
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.
This commit completes the integration of the new, extended ACL syntax
featuring 'port' and 'transport' options.
The runtime presentation and ACL loading code are extended to allow
the syntax to be used beyond the 'allow-transfer' option (e.g. in
'acl' definitions and other 'allow-*' options) and can be used to
ultimately extend the ACL support with transport-only
ACLs (e.g. 'transport-acl tls-acl port 853 transport tls'). But, due
to fundamental nature of such a change, it has not been completed as a
part of 9.17.X release series due to it being close to 9.18 stable
release status. That means that we do not have enough time to fully
test it.
The complete integration is planned as a part of 9.19.X release
series.
The code was manually verified to work as expected by temporarily
enabling the extended syntax for 'acl' statements and 'allow-query'
options, including ACL merging, negated ACLs.
Previously, as a way of reducing the contention between threads a
clientmgr object would be created for each interface/IP address.
We tasks being more strictly bound to netmgr workers, this is no longer
needed and we can just create clientmgr object per worker queue (ncpus).
Each clientmgr object than would have a single task and single memory
context.
This properly orders clearing the freed pointer and calling isc_refcount_destroy
as early as possible to have ability to put proper memory barrier when cleaning
up reference counting.
- 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
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
provisioning secondary servers in which a list of
zones to be served is stored in a DNS zone and can
be propagated to slaves via AXFR/IXFR. [RT #41581]
4375. [func] Add support for automatic reallocation of isc_buffer
to isc_buffer_put* functions. [RT #42394]
3936. [func] Added authoritative support for the EDNS Client
Subnet (ECS) option.
ACLs can now include "ecs" elements which specify
an address or network prefix; if an ECS option is
included in a DNS query, then the address encoded
in the option will be matched against "ecs" ACL
elements.
Also, if an ECS address is included in a query,
then it will be used instead of the client source
address when matching "geoip" ACL elements. This
behavior can be overridden with "geoip-use-ecs no;".
When "ecs" or "geoip" ACL elements are used to
select a view for a query, the response will include
an ECS option to indicate which client network the
answer is valid for.
