The build-time requirement for libtool was introduced inadvertently:
1. Commit 1628f5865acb2d472ce4adf71fc78ac99094fa1c added a check to
configure.ac which claims to test whether the libtool script is
available. There are two problems with that check:
- it is effectively a no-op as the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL() macro always
sets the LIBTOOL variable [1],
- this check was intended to be performed before autoreconf is
run, not when ./configure is run; the libtool script is supposed
to be dynamically generated by ./configure on the build host and
thus there is no need for a standalone libtool script to be
installed system-wide on every host attempting to build BIND 9
e.g. from a tarball produced by "make dist".
2. Commit a7982d14dddb864420deb49e735f782022d1fa07 was based on the
incorrect assumption that the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL() macro looks for the
libtool binary in PATH and sets the LIBTOOL variable accordingly,
which is what other AC_PROG_*() macros do. Meanwhile, the
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL() macro only initializes libtool for use with
Automake. It is not necessary for a standalone libtool script to be
available in PATH on the build host when ./configure is run.
Do not look for libtool in PATH at build time as it prevents hosts
without a libtool script available system-wide from building BIND 9 from
source tarballs prepared using "make dist". Note that libtool m4
macros, utilities, etc. still need to be present on a given host if
autoreconf is to be run on it.

Instead of calling isc_tls_initialize()/isc_tls_destroy() explicitly use
gcc/clang attributes on POSIX and DLLMain on Windows to initialize and
shutdown OpenSSL library.
This resolves the issue when isc_nm_create() / isc_nm_destroy() was
called multiple times and it would call OpenSSL library destructors from
isc_nm_destroy().
At the same time, since we now have introduced the ctor/dtor for libisc,
this commit moves the isc_mem API initialization (the list of the
contexts) and changes the isc_mem_checkdestroyed() to schedule the
checking of memory context on library unload instead of executing the
code immediately.
The two memory debugging features: ISC_MEM_DEFAULTFILL
(ISC_MEMFLAG_FILL) and ISC_MEM_TRACKLINES were always enabled in all
builds and the former was only disabled in `named`.
This commits disables those two features in non-developer build to make
the memory allocator significantly faster.
This commit includes work-in-progress implementation of
DNS-over-HTTP(S).
Server-side code remains mostly untested, and there is only support
for POST requests.
The BIND 9 libraries are considered to be internal only and hence the
API and ABI changes a lot. Keeping track of the API/ABI changes takes
time and it's a complicated matter as the safest way to make everything
stable would be to bump any library in the dependency chain as in theory
if libns links with libdns, and a binary links with both, and we bump
the libdns SOVERSION, but not the libns SOVERSION, the old libns might
be loaded by binary pulling old libdns together with new libdns loaded
by the binary. The situation gets even more complicated with loading
the plugins that have been compiled with few versions old BIND 9
libraries and then dynamically loaded into the named.
We are picking the safest option possible and usable for internal
libraries - instead of using -version-info that has only a weak link to
BIND 9 version number, we are using -release libtool option that will
embed the corresponding BIND 9 version number into the library name.
That means that instead of libisc.so.1701 (as an example) the library
will now be named libisc-9.17.10.so.
* Following the example set in 634bdfb16d8, the tlsdns netmgr
module now uses libuv and SSL primitives directly, rather than
opening a TLS socket which opens a TCP socket, as the previous
model was difficult to debug. Closes#2335.
* Remove the netmgr tls layer (we will have to re-add it for DoH)
* Add isc_tls API to wrap the OpenSSL SSL_CTX object into libisc
library; move the OpenSSL initialization/deinitialization from dstapi
needed for OpenSSL 1.0.x to the isc_tls_{initialize,destroy}()
* Add couple of new shims needed for OpenSSL 1.0.x
* When LibreSSL is used, require at least version 2.7.0 that
has the best OpenSSL 1.1.x compatibility and auto init/deinit
* Enforce OpenSSL 1.1.x usage on Windows
* Added a TLSDNS unit test and implemented a simple TLSDNS echo
server and client.
the test-async plugin uses ns_query_hookasync() at the
NS_QUERY_DONE_SEND hook point to call an asynchronous function.
the only effect is to change the query response code to "NOTIMP",
so we can confirm that the hook ran and resumed correctly.
Make the code block handling the --with-libidn2=/path/to/libidn2 form of
the --with-libidn2 build-time option behave more similarly to the
PKG_CHECK_MODULES() macro.
The DLZ_DRIVER_MYSQL_INCLUDES and DLZ_DRIVER_MYSQL_LIBS build variables
are not used anywhere. Remove their definitions and the associated
AC_SUBST() calls.
- isc_nm_tcpdnsconnect() sets up up an outgoing TCP DNS connection.
- isc_nm_tcpconnect(), _udpconnect() and _tcpdnsconnect() now take a
timeout argument to ensure connections time out and are correctly
cleaned up on failure.
- isc_nm_read() now supports UDP; it reads a single datagram and then
stops until the next time it's called.
- isc_nm_cancelread() now runs asynchronously to prevent assertion
failure if reading is interrupted by a non-network thread (e.g.
a timeout).
- isc_nm_cancelread() can now apply to UDP sockets.
- added shim code to support UDP connection in versions of libuv
prior to 1.27, when uv_udp_connect() was added
all these functions will be used to support outgoing queries in dig,
xfrin, dispatch, etc.
While libltdl is a feature-rich library, BIND 9 code only uses its basic
capabilities, which are also provided by libuv and which BIND 9 already
uses for other purposes. As libuv's cross-platform shared library
handling interface is modeled after the POSIX dlopen() interface,
converting code using the latter to the former is simple. Replace
libltdl function calls with their libuv counterparts, refactoring the
code as necessary. Remove all use of libltdl from the BIND 9 source
tree.
Since Mac OS X 10.1, Mach-O object files are by default built with a
so-called two-level namespace which prevents symbol lookups in BIND unit
tests that attempt to override the implementations of certain library
functions from working as intended. This feature can be disabled by
passing the "-flat_namespace" flag to the linker. Fix unit tests
affected by this issue on macOS by adding "-flat_namespace" to LDFLAGS
used for building all object files on that operating system (it is not
enough to only set that flag for the unit test executables).
As currently used in the BIND source tree, the --wrap linker option is
redundant because:
- static builds are no longer supported,
- there is no need to wrap around existing functions - what is
actually required (at least for now) is to replace them altogether
in unit tests,
- only functions exposed by shared libraries linked into unit test
binaries are currently being replaced.
Given the above, providing the alternative implementations of functions
to be overridden in lib/ns/tests/nstest.c is a much simpler alternative
to using the --wrap linker option. Drop the code detecting support for
the latter from configure.ac, simplify the relevant Makefile.am, and
remove lib/ns/tests/wrap.c, updating lib/ns/tests/nstest.c accordingly
(it is harmless for unit tests which are not calling the overridden
functions).
Pairwise testing is a test case generation technique based on the
observation that most faults are caused by interactions of at most two
factors. For BIND, its configure options can be thought of as such
factors.
Process BIND configure options into a model that is subsequently
processed by the PICT tool in order to find an effective test vector.
That test vector is then used for configuring and building BIND using
various combinations of configure options.
This switch is believed to be unnecessary. The possibility to use
gperftools CPU profiler was kept, one needs to set 'CFLAGS' and
'LDFLAGS' accordingly.
This commit updates and simplifies the checks for the readline support
in nslookup and nsupdate:
* Change the autoconf checks to pkg-config only, all supported
libraries have accompanying .pc files now.
* Add editline support in addition to libedit and GNU readline
* Add isc/readline.h shim header that defines dummy readline()
function when no readline library is available
The --enable-fuzzing option now allows third choice "ossfuzz" that just
adds $LIB_FUZZING_ENGINE to FUZZ_LDFLAGS to make the fuzzer builds
compatible with OSS-Fuzz project that has some special quirks (the
main() routine is provided in the static library the project provides).
Previously, we have disallowed static linking (for good reasons).
However, there are legitimate reasons where static linking might be
useful, and one of the reasons is the OSS-Fuzz project that doesn't have
the libraries used for build, so static linking is the sane option here.
The static linking is still disallowed in the "production" builds, but
it's not possible to disable shared and enable static libraries when
used together with --enable-developer.
The fuzzing tests were temporarily disabled when the build system has been
converted to automake. This commit restores the functionality to run the
fuzzing tests as part of the `make check`. When the afl or libfuzzer
is enabled via ./configure, it uses a custom LOG_DRIVER (fuzz/<fuzzer.sh>).
Currently only libfuzzer.sh has been implemented that runs each fuzz
test for 5 seconds each.
Creation of EVP_MD_CTX and EVP_PKEY is quite expensive, so until we fix the code
to reuse the OpenSSL contexts and keys we'll use our own implementation of
siphash instead of trying to integrate with OpenSSL.
The LT_INIT() call in configure.ac is effectively a no-op because it is
preceded by a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL(), which is the previous name of
LT_INIT() used in older libtool versions. Replace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL()
with AC_PATH_PROG() to look for libtool in PATH without initializing it,
which is the originally intended behavior.
Without this change, --enable-static is used by default, which causes a
plain ./configure invocation to fail because static linking is now
disallowed. Drop --disable-static from the ./configure invocations used
in GitLab CI to test this scenario continuously.
Linking BIND 9 programs and libraries statically disables several
important features:
* dlopen() - relied on by dynamic loading of modules, dlz, and dyndb,
* RELRO (read-only relocations) and ASLR (address space layout
randomization) - security features which are important for any
program interacting with the network and/or user input.
Disable and disallow linking BIND 9 binaries statically, thus enforcing
dlopen() support and allowing use of RELRO and ASLR by default.
When maintainer mode is enabled (./configure --enable-maintainer-mode)
it enables rebuild of documentation source files that require extra
tools to be installed or compiled. For a convenience, those files are
already committed into the repository and their rebuild is not required
to build BIND 9 from sources.
The "srcid" file present in each BIND source tarball contains a
shortened hash of the Git commit corresponding to a given BIND release.
This allows a Git reference to be included in an archive that otherwise
lacks any Git information.
Before the move to Automake, if an "srcid" file was present in the root
source directory at the time ./configure was run, its contents were used
as the value of a compile-time constant which was then baked into BIND
binaries; otherwise, "git rev-parse" was used to determine the value of
that constant.
With Automake, a similar approach was attempted that required the
"srcid" file to be present at autoreconf time in order for it to be
used. However, note that this means that even if that file is present
in a source tarball created using "make dist", its contents are not
going to influence the value of the aforementioned compile-time constant
because autoreconf hardcodes the output of "git rev-parse" into the
configure script at autoreconf time.
To make things more clear, always use "git rev-parse" for determining
the value of the PACKAGE_SRCID compile-time constant when running
autoreconf. This causes "srcid" to be an empty string in source
tarballs built from other source tarballs, but that is not deemed to be
much of an issue as "make dist" is expected to be run from Git
repository clones. Remove stderr redirections to /dev/null to ensure
errors caused e.g. by running "make dist" from outside a Git repository
clone are not hidden. Trim the Git commit hash to 7 characters for
consistency between Unix and Windows systems.
Despite the above, ensure the "srcid" file is present in source tarballs
created using "make dist" as that file is used by the build process on
Windows.
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
when built with "configure --enable-singletrace", named will produce
detailed query logging at the highest debug level for any query with
query ID zero.
this enables monitoring of the progress of a single query by specifying
the QID using "dig +qid=0". the "client" logging category should be set
to a low severity level to suppress logging of other queries. (the
chance of another query using QID=0 at the same time is only 1 in 2^16.)
"--enable-singletrace" turns on "--enable-querytrace" as well, so if the
logging severity is not lowered, all other queries will be logged
verbosely as well. compiling with either of these options will impair
query performance; they should only be turned on when testing or
troubleshooting.
This adds a unit test driver for BIND with Automake. It runs the unit
test program provided as its sole command line argument and then looks
for a core dump generated by that test program. If one is found, the
driver prints the backtrace into the test log.
Some operating systems (e.g. CentOS, OpenBSD) install the main pytest
script as "py.test-3". Add that name to the list of names passed to
AC_PATH_PROGS() in order for pytest to be properly detected on a broader
range of operating systems.
