Previously, the xfrin object relied on four different reference counters
(`refs`, `connects`, `sends`, `recvs`) and destroyed the xfrin object
only if all of them were zero. This commit reduces the reference
counting only to the `references` (renamed from `refs`) counter. We
keep the existing `connects`, `sends` and `recvs` as safe guards, but
they are not formally needed.
since the network manager is now handling timeouts, xfrin doesn't
need an isc_task object.
it may be necessary to revert this later if we find that it's
important for zone_xfrdone() to be executed in the zone task context.
currently things seem to be working well without that, though.
The dns_message_create() function cannot soft fail (as all memory
allocations either succeed or cause abort), so we change the function to
return void and cleanup the calls.
There was a case where an primary server sent a response
on the wrong TCP connection and failure to check the question
section resulted in a truncated zone being served.
Also disable the semantic patch as the code needs tweaks here and there because
some destroy functions might not destroy the object and return early if the
object is still in use.
The "mirror" system test checks whether log messages announcing a mirror
zone coming into effect are emitted properly. However, the helper
functions responsible for waiting for zone transfers and zone loading to
complete do not wait for these exact log messages, but rather for other
ones preceding them, which introduces a possibility of false positives.
This problem cannot be addressed by just changing the log message to
look for because the test still needs to discern between transferring a
zone and loading a zone.
Add two new log messages at debug level 99 (which is what named
instances used in system tests are configured with) that are to be
emitted after the log messages announcing a mirror zone coming into
effect. Tweak the aforementioned helper functions to only return once
the log messages they originally looked for are followed by the newly
added log messages. This reliably prevents races when looking for
"mirror zone is now in use" log messages and also enables a workaround
previously put into place in the "mirror" system test to be reverted.
Log a message when a mirror zone is successfully transferred and
verified, but only if no database for that zone was yet loaded at the
time the transfer was initiated.
This could have been implemented in a simpler manner, e.g. by modifying
zone_replacedb(), but (due to the calling order of the functions
involved in finalizing a zone transfer) that would cause the resulting
logs to suggest that a mirror zone comes into effect before its transfer
is finished, which would be confusing given the nature of mirror zones
and the fact that no message is logged upon successful mirror zone
verification.
Once the dns_zone_replacedb() call in axfr_finalize() is made, it
becomes impossible to determine whether the transferred zone had a
database attached before the transfer was started. Thus, that check is
instead performed when the transfer context is first created and the
result of this check is passed around in a field of the transfer context
structure. If it turns out to be desired, the relevant log message is
then emitted just before the transfer context is freed.
Taking this approach means that the log message added by this commit is
not timed precisely, i.e. mirror zone data may be used before this
message is logged. However, that can only be fixed by logging the
message inside zone_replacedb(), which causes arguably more dire issues
discussed above.
dns_zone_isloaded() is not used to double-check that transferred zone
data was correctly loaded since the 'shutdown_result' field of the zone
transfer context will not be set to ISC_R_SUCCESS unless axfr_finalize()
succeeds (and that in turn will not happen unless dns_zone_replacedb()
succeeds).
Update axfr_commit() so that all incoming versions of a mirror zone
transferred using AXFR are verified before being used. If zone
verification fails, discard the received version of the zone, wait until
the next refresh and retry.
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
