Change the internal type used for isc_tid unit to isc_tid_t to hide the
specific integer type being used for the 'tid'. Internally, the signed
integer type is being used. This allows us to have negatively indexed
arrays that works both for threads with assigned tid and the threads
with unassigned tid. This should be used only in specific situations.
Since BIND 9 headers are not longer public, there's no reason to keep
the ISC_LANG_BEGINDECL and ISC_LANG_ENDDECL macros to support including
them from C++ projects.
Instead of high number of dispatches (4 * named_g_udpdisp)[1], make the
dispatches bound to threads and make dns_dispatchset_t create a dispatch
for each thread (event loop).
This required couple of other changes:
1. The dns_dispatch_createudp() must be called on loop, so the isc_tid()
is already initialized - changes to nsupdate and mdig were required.
2. The dns_requestmgr had only a single dispatch per v4 and v6. Instead
of using single dispatch, use dns_dispatchset_t for each protocol -
this is same as dns_resolver.
The isc_tid() function is often called on the hot-path and it's the only
function is to return thread_local variable, make the isc_tid() function
a header-only to save several function calls during query-response
processing.
Although an `isc_histo_t` is thread-safe, it can suffer
from cache contention under heavy load. To avoid this,
an `isc_histomulti_t` contains a histogram per thread,
so updates are local and low-contention.
This commit introduces new APIs for applications and signal handling,
intended to replace isc_app for applications built on top of libisc.
* isc_app will be replaced with isc_loopmgr, which handles the
starting and stopping of applications. In isc_loopmgr, the main
thread is not blocked, but is part of the working thread set.
The loop manager will start a number of threads, each with a
uv_loop event loop running. Setup and teardown functions can be
assigned which will run when the loop starts and stops, and
jobs can be scheduled to run in the meantime. When
isc_loopmgr_shutdown() is run from any the loops, all loops
will shut down and the application can terminate.
* signal handling will now be handled with a separate isc_signal unit.
isc_loopmgr only handles SIGTERM and SIGINT for application
termination, but the application may install additional signal
handlers, such as SIGHUP as a signal to reload configuration.
* new job running primitives, isc_job and isc_async, have been added.
Both units schedule callbacks (specifying a callback function and
argument) on an event loop. The difference is that isc_job unit is
unlocked and not thread-safe, so it can be used to efficiently
run jobs in the same thread, while isc_async is thread-safe and
uses locking, so it can be used to pass jobs from one thread to
another.
* isc_tid will be used to track the thread ID in isc_loop worker
threads.
* unit tests have been added for the new APIs.
