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.
Unify the header guard style and replace the inconsistent include guards
with #pragma once.
The #pragma once is widely and very well supported in all compilers that
BIND 9 supports, and #pragma once was already in use in several new or
refactored headers.
Using simpler method will also allow us to automate header guard checks
as this is simpler to programatically check.
For reference, here are the reasons for the change taken from
Wikipedia[1]:
> In the C and C++ programming languages, #pragma once is a non-standard
> but widely supported preprocessor directive designed to cause the
> current source file to be included only once in a single compilation.
>
> Thus, #pragma once serves the same purpose as include guards, but with
> several advantages, including: less code, avoidance of name clashes,
> and sometimes improvement in compilation speed. On the other hand,
> #pragma once is not necessarily available in all compilers and its
> implementation is tricky and might not always be reliable.

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.
Both <isccc/util.h> and <isc/util.h> defined DE_CONST() macro. As
<isccc/util.h> header includes <isc/util.h>, remove the macro from
<isccc/util.h> header.
1. The isc__nm_tcp_send() and isc__nm_tcp_read() was not checking
whether the socket was still alive and scheduling reads/sends on
closed socket.
2. The isc_nm_read(), isc_nm_send() and isc_nm_resumeread() have been
changed to always return the error conditions via the callbacks, so
they always succeed. This applies to all protocols (UDP, TCP and
TCPDNS).
Attaching and detaching handle pointers will make it easier to
determine where and why reference counting errors have occurred.
A handle needs to be referenced more than once when multiple
asynchronous operations are in flight, so callers must now maintain
multiple handle pointers for each pending operation. For example,
ns_client objects now contain:
- reqhandle: held while waiting for a request callback (query,
notify, update)
- sendhandle: held while waiting for a send callback
- fetchhandle: held while waiting for a recursive fetch to
complete
- updatehandle: held while waiting for an update-forwarding
task to complete
control channel connection objects now contain:
- readhandle: held while waiting for a read callback
- sendhandle: held while waiting for a send callback
- cmdhandle: held while an rndc command is running
httpd connections contain:
- readhandle: held while waiting for a read callback
- sendhandle: held while waiting for a send callback
- updated libisccc to use netmgr events
- updated rndc to use isc_nm_tcpconnect() to establish connections
- updated control channel to use isc_nm_listentcp()
open issues:
- the control channel timeout was previously 60 seconds, but it is now
overridden by the TCP idle timeout setting, which defaults to 30
seconds. we should add a function that sets the timeout value for
a specific listener socket, instead of always using the global value
set in the netmgr. (for the moment, since 30 seconds is a reasonable
timeout for the control channel, I'm not prioritizing this.)
- the netmgr currently has no support for UNIX-domain sockets; until
this is addressed, it will not be possible to configure rndc to use
them. we will need to either fix this or document the change in
behavior.
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 commit simplifies a bit the lock management within dns_resolver_prime()
and prime_done() functions by means of turning resolver's attribute
"priming" into an atomic_bool and by creating only one dependent object on the
lock "primelock", namely the "primefetch" attribute.
By having the attribute "priming" as an atomic type, it save us from having to
use a lock just to test if priming is on or off for the given resolver context
object, within "dns_resolver_prime" function.
The "primelock" lock is still necessary, since dns_resolver_prime() function
internally calls dns_resolver_createfetch(), and whenever this function
succeeds it registers an event in the task manager which could be called by
another thread, namely the "prime_done" function, and this function is
responsible for disposing the "primefetch" attribute in the resolver object,
also for resetting "priming" attribute to false.
It is important that the invariant "priming == false AND primefetch == NULL"
remains constant, so that any thread calling "dns_resolver_prime" knows for sure
that if the "priming" attribute is false, "primefetch" attribute should also be
NULL, so a new fetch context could be created to fulfill this purpose, and
assigned to "primefetch" attribute under the lock protection.
To honor the explanation above, dns_resolver_prime is implemented as follow:
1. Atomically checks the attribute "priming" for the given resolver context.
2. If "priming" is false, assumes that "primefetch" is NULL (this is
ensured by the "prime_done" implementation), acquire "primelock"
lock and create a new fetch context, update "primefetch" pointer to
point to the newly allocated fetch context.
3. If "priming" is true, assumes that the job is already in progress,
no locks are acquired, nothing else to do.
To keep the previous invariant consistent, "prime_done" is implemented as follow:
1. Acquire "primefetch" lock.
2. Keep a reference to the current "primefetch" object;
3. Reset "primefetch" attribute to NULL.
4. Release "primefetch" lock.
5. Atomically update "priming" attribute to false.
6. Destroy the "primefetch" object by using the temporary reference.
This ensures that if "priming" is false, "primefetch" was already reset to NULL.
It doesn't make any difference in having the "priming" attribute not protected
by a lock, since the visible state of this variable would depend on the calling
order of the functions "dns_resolver_prime" and "prime_done".
As an example, suppose that instead of using an atomic for the "priming" attribute
we employed a lock to protect it.
Now suppose that "prime_done" function is called by Thread A, it is then preempted
before acquiring the lock, thus not reseting "priming" to false.
In parallel to that suppose that a Thread B is scheduled and that it calls
"dns_resolver_prime()", it then acquires the lock and check that "priming" is true,
thus it will consider that this resolver object is already priming and it won't do
any more job.
Conversely if the lock order was acquired in the other direction, Thread B would check
that "priming" is false (since prime_done acquired the lock first and set "priming" to false)
and it would initiate a priming fetch for this resolver.
An atomic variable wouldn't change this behavior, since it would behave exactly the
same, depending on the function call order, with the exception that it would avoid
having to use a lock.
There should be no side effects resulting from this change, since the previous
implementation employed use of the more general resolver's "lock" mutex, which
is used in far more contexts, but in the specifics of the "dns_resolver_prime"
and "prime_done" it was only used to protect "primefetch" and "priming" attributes,
which are not used in any of the other critical sections protected by the same lock,
thus having zero dependency on those variables.
4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
4005. [func] The buffer used for returning text from rndc
commands is now dynamically resizable, allowing
arbitrarily large amounts of text to be sent back
to the client. (Prior to this change, it was
possible for the output of "rndc tsig-list" to be
truncated.) [RT #37731]
3525. [func] Support for additional signing algorithms in rndc:
hmac-sha1, -sha224, -sha256, -sha384, and -sha512.
The -A option to rndc-confgen can be used to
select the algorithm for the generated key.
(The default is still hmac-md5; this may
change in a future release.) [RT #20363]
replay protection requires both rndc and named to
be updated. Partial replay protection (limited
exposure after restart) is provided if just named
is updated.
