BIND's rdataset structure is a view of some DNS records. It is
polymorphic, so the details of how the records are stored can vary.
For instance, the records can be held in an rdatalist, or in an
rdataslab in the rbtdb.
The dns_rdataset structure previously had a number of fields called
`private1` up to `private7`, which were used by the various rdataset
implementations. It was not at all clear what these fields were for,
without reading the code and working it out from context.
This change makes the rdataset inheritance hierarchy more clear. The
polymorphic part of a `struct dns_rdataset` is now a union of structs,
each of which is named for the class of implementation using it. The
fields of these structs replace the old `privateN` fields. (Note: the
term "inheritance hierarchy" refers to the fact that the builtin and
SDLZ implementations are based on and inherit from the rdatalist
implementation, which in turn inherits from the generic rdataset.
Most of this change is mechanical, but there are a few extras.
In keynode.c there were a number of REQUIRE()ments that were not
necessary: they had already been checked by the rdataset method
dispatch code. On the other hand, In ncache.c there was a public
function which needed to REQUIRE() that an rdataset was valid.
I have removed lots of "reset iterator state" comments, because it
should now be clear from `target->iter = NULL` where before
`target->private5 = NULL` could have been doing anything.
Initialization is a bit neater in a few places, using C structure
literals where appropriate.
The pointer arithmetic for translating between an rdataslab header and
its raw contents is now fractionally safer.
This implements node reference tracing that passes all the internal
layers from dns_db API (and friends) to increment_reference() and
decrement_reference().
It can be enabled by #defining DNS_DB_NODETRACE in <dns/trace.h> header.
The output then looks like this:
incr:node:check_address_records:rootns.c:409:0x7f67f5a55a40->references = 1
decr:node:check_address_records:rootns.c:449:0x7f67f5a55a40->references = 0
incr:nodelock:check_address_records:rootns.c:409:0x7f67f5a55a40:0x7f68304d7040->references = 1
decr:nodelock:check_address_records:rootns.c:449:0x7f67f5a55a40:0x7f68304d7040->references = 0

initialize dns_dbmethods, dns_sdbmethods and dns_rdatasetmethods
using explicit struct member names, so we don't have to keep track
of NULLs for unimplemented functions any longer.
All we need for compression is a very small hash set of compression
offsets, because most of the information we need (the previously added
names) can be found in the message using the compression offsets.
This change combines dns_compress_find() and dns_compress_add() into
one function dns_compress_name() that both finds any existing suffix,
and adds any new prefix to the table. The old split led to performance
problems caused by duplicate names in the compression context.
Compression contexts are now either small or large, which the caller
chooses depending on the expected size of the message. There is no
dynamic resizing.
There is a behaviour change: compression now acts on all the labels in
each name, instead of just the last few.
A small benchmark suggests this is about 2x faster.
sizeof(dns_name_t) did not change but the boolean attributes are now
separated as one-bit structure members. This allows debuggers to
pretty-print dns_name_t attributes without any special hacks, plus we
got rid of manual bit manipulation code.
Clean up dns_rdatalist_tordataset() and dns_rdatalist_fromrdataset()
functions by making them return void, because they cannot fail.
Clean up other functions that subsequently cannot fail.
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.
Sometimes it is useful to set a 'floor' on the TTL for records
to be cached. Some sites like to use ridiculously low TTLs for
some reason, and that often is not compatible with slow links.
