in the "refactor tcpquota and pipeline refs" commit, the counting
of active interfaces was tightened in such a way that named could
fail to listen on an interface if there were more interfaces than
tcp-clients. when checking the quota to start accepting on an
interface, if the number of active clients was above zero, then
it was presumed that some other client was able to handle accepting
new connections. this, however, ignored the fact that the current client
could be included in that count, so if the quota was already exceeded
before all the interfaces were listening, some interfaces would never
listen.
we now check whether the current client has been marked active; if so,
then the number of active clients on the interface must be greater
than 1, not 0.

(cherry picked from commit cae79e1bab)
- if the TCP quota has been exceeded but there are no clients listening
for new connections on the interface, we can now force attachment to the
quota using isc_quota_force(), instead of carrying on with the quota not
attached.
- the TCP client quota is now referenced via a reference-counted
'ns_tcpconn' object, one of which is created whenever a client begins
listening for new connections, and attached to by members of that
client's pipeline group. when the last reference to the tcpconn
object is detached, it is freed and the TCP quota slot is released.
- reduce code duplication by adding mark_tcp_active() function
- convert counters to stdatomic

- ensure that tcpactive is cleaned up correctly when accept() fails.
- set 'client->tcpattached' when the client is attached to the tcpquota.
carry this value on to new clients sharing the same pipeline group.
don't call isc_quota_detach() on the tcpquota unless tcpattached is
set. this way clients that were allowed to accept TCP connections
despite being over quota (and therefore, were never attached to the
quota) will not inadvertently detach from it and mess up the
accounting.
- simplify the code for tcpquota disconnection by using a new function
tcpquota_disconnect().
- before deciding whether to reject a new connection due to quota
exhaustion, check to see whether there are at least two active
clients. previously, this was "at least one", but that could be
insufficient if there was one other client in READING state (waiting
for messages on an open connection) but none in READY (listening
for new connections).
- before deciding whether a TCP client object can to go inactive, we
must ensure there are enough other clients to maintain service
afterward -- both accepting new connections and reading/processing new
queries. A TCP client can't shut down unless at least one
client is accepting new connections and (in the case of pipelined
clients) at least one additional client is waiting to read.

Track pipeline groups using a shared reference counter

the TCP client quota could still be ineffective under some
circumstances. this change:
- improves quota accounting to ensure that TCP clients are
properly limited, while still guaranteeing that at least one client
is always available to serve TCP connections on each interface.
- uses more descriptive names and removes one (ntcptarget) that
was no longer needed
- adds comments

(cherry picked from commit d7e84cee0b)
tcp-clients settings could be exceeded in some cases by
creating more and more active TCP clients that are over
the set quota limit, which in the end could lead to a
DoS attack by e.g. exhaustion of file descriptors.
If TCP client we're closing went over the quota (so it's
not attached to a quota) mark it as mortal - so that it
will be destroyed and not set up to listen for new
connections - unless it's the last client for a specific
interface.

- Always set is_zonep in query_getdb; previously it was only set if
result was ISC_R_SUCCESS or ISC_R_NOTFOUND.
- Don't reset is_zone for redirect.

- named could return FORMERR if parsing iterative responses
ended with a result code such as DNS_R_OPTERR. instead of
computing a response code based on the result, in this case
we now just force the response to be SERVFAIL.
this restores functionality that was removed in commit 03be5a6b4e,
allowing named to search in authoritative zone databases outside the
current zone for additional data, if and only if recursion is allowed
and minimal-responses is disabled.
During server reconfiguration, plugin instances set up for the old views
are unloaded very close to the end of the whole process, after new
plugin instances are set up. As the log message announcing plugin
unloading is emitted at the default "info" level, the user might be
misled into thinking that it is the new plugin instances that are being
unloaded for some reason, particularly because all other messages logged
at the "info" level around the same time inform about setting things up
rather than tearing them down. Since no distinction is currently made
between destroying a view due to reconfiguration and due to a shutdown
in progress, there is no easy way to vary the contents of the log
message depending on circumstances. Since this message is not a
particularly critical one, demote it to debug level to prevent
confusion.
Implement a helper function which, given an input string:
- copies it verbatim if it contains at least one path separator,
- prepends the named plugin installation directory to it otherwise.
This function will allow configuration parsing code to conveniently
determine the full path to a plugin module given either a path or a
filename.
While other, simpler ways exist for making sure filenames passed to
dlopen() cause the latter to look for shared objects in a specific
directory, they are very platform-specific. Using full paths is thus
likely the most portable and reliable solution.
Also added unit tests for ns_plugin_expandpath() to ensure it behaves
as expected for absolute paths, relative paths, and filenames, for
various target buffer sizes.
(Note: plugins share a directory with named on Windows; there is no
default plugin path. Therefore the source path is copied to the
destination path with no modification.)
in query_respond_any(), the assumption had previously been made that it
was impossible to get past iterating the node with a return value of
ISC_R_NOMORE but not have found any records, unless we were searching
for RRSIG or SIG. however, it is possible for other types to exist but
be hidden, such as when the zone is transitioning from insecure to
secure and DNSSEC types are encountered, and this situation could
trigger an assertion. removed the assertion and reorganized the code.
Transfer statistics are currently only reported for incoming transfers,
even though they are equally useful for outgoing transfers. Define a
separate structure for keeping track of the number of messages, records,
and bytes sent during each outgoing transfer, along with the time each
outgoing transfer took. Repurpose the 'nmsg' field of the xfrout_ctx_t
structure for tracking the number of messages actually sent, ensuring it
is only increased after isc_socket_send() indicates success. Report the
statistics gathered when an outgoing transfer completes.
The 'nmsg' field of the xfrout_ctx_t structure is an integer, even
though it is only ever compared against 0 (for tracking whether the
QUESTION section has already been sent to the client). Use a boolean
instead as it is more appropriate and also enables 'nmsg' to be
repurposed.
This change makes rndc dumpdb correctly print the "; stale" line.
It also provides extra information on how long this data may still
be served to clients (in other words how long the stale RRset may
still be used).
- "hook" is now used only for hook points and hook actions
- the "hook" statement in named.conf is now "plugin"
- ns_module and ns_modlist are now ns_plugin and ns_plugins
- ns_module_load is renamed ns_plugin_register
- the mandatory functions in plugin modules (hook_register,
hook_check, hook_version, hook_destroy) have been renamed
- use a per-view module list instead of global hook_modules
- create an 'instance' pointer when registering modules, store it in
the module structure, and use it as action_data when calling
hook functions - this enables multiple module instances to be set
up in parallel
- also some nomenclature changes and cleanup
- added some hook points that will be needed for a dns64 module later
- moved some code from the beginning of query_respond() to
the end of query_prepresponse(); this has no effect on functionality
but means we can have a hook point at the top of query_respond(),
which seems nicer
- compressed duplicated code into query_zerottl_refetch() function
- added a qctx->answered flag so that a module can prevent
query_addrrset() from being called from query_respond() when
it's already been called from the module.
