The aim is to get rid of the obsolete term "GLOBAL14" and instead just
refer to DNS name compression.
This is mostly mechanically renaming
from dns_(de)compress_(get|set)methods()
to dns_(de)compress_(get|set)permitted()
and replacing the related enum by a simple flag, because compression
is either on or off.
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as a suggestion to inline a function is obsolete.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.
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.
The __builtin_expect() can be used to provide the compiler with branch
prediction information. The Gcc manual says[1] on the subject:
In general, you should prefer to use actual profile feedback for
this (-fprofile-arcs), as programmers are notoriously bad at
predicting how their programs actually perform.
Stop using __builtin_expect() and ISC_LIKELY() and ISC_UNLIKELY() macros
to provide the branch prediction information as the performance testing
shows that named performs better when the __builtin_expect() is not
being used.

The additional processing method has been expanded to take the
owner name of the record, as HTTPS and SVBC need it to process "."
in service form.
The additional section callback can now return the RRset that was
added. We use this when adding CNAMEs. Previously, the recursion
would stop if it detected that a record you added already exists. With
CNAMEs this rule doesn't work, as you ultimately care about the RRset
at the target of the CNAME and not the presence of the CNAME itself.
Returning the record allows the caller to restart with the target
name. As CNAMEs can form loops, loop protection was added.
As HTTPS and SVBC can produce infinite chains, we prevent this by
tracking recursion depth and stopping if we go too deep.
This commit add RUNTIME_CHECK() around all simple dns_name_copy() calls where
the third argument is NULL using the semantic patch from the previous commit.
- the goal of this change is for AAAA filtering to be fully contained
in the query logic, and implemented at discrete points that can be
replaced with hook callouts later on.
- the new code may be slightly less efficient than the old filter-aaaa
implementation, but maximum efficiency was never a priority for AAAA
filtering anyway.
- we now use the rdataset RENDERED attribute to indicate that an AAAA
rdataset should not be included when rendering the message. (this
flag was originally meant to indicate that an rdataset has already
been rendered and should not be repeated, but it can also be used to
prevent rendering in the first place.)
- the DNS_MESSAGERENDER_FILTER_AAAA, NS_CLIENTATTR_FILTER_AAAA,
and DNS_RDATASETGLUE_FILTERAAAA flags are all now unnecessary and
have been removed.
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.
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
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.
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]
negative-cache records rather than using rrtype 0;
this will prevent problems when that rrtype is
used in actual DNS packets. [RT #24777]
3123. [security] Change #2912 exposed a latent flaw in
dns_rdataset_totext() that could cause named to
crash with an assertion failure. [RT #24777]
