The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
When silencing the Coverity warning in remove_old_tsversions(), the code
was refactored to reduce the indentation levels and break down the long
code into individual functions. This improve fix for [GL #1989].
If too many versions of log / dnstap files to be saved where requests
the memory after to_keep could be overwritten. Force the number of
versions to be saved to a save level. Additionally the memmove length
was incorrect.
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.
The assembly code generated by MSVC for at least some signed comparisons
involving atomic variables incorrectly uses unsigned conditional jumps
instead of signed ones. In particular, the checks in isc_log_wouldlog()
are affected in a way which breaks logging on Windows and thus also all
system tests involving a named instance. Work around the issue by
assigning the values returned by atomic_load_acquire() calls in
isc_log_wouldlog() to local variables before performing comparisons.
The rwlock introduced to protect the .logconfig member of isc_log_t
structure caused a significant performance drop because of the rwlock
contention. It was also found, that the debug_level member of said
structure was not protected from concurrent read/writes.
The .dynamic and .highest_level members of isc_logconfig_t structure
were actually just cached values pulled from the assigned channels.
We introduced an even higher cache level for .dynamic and .highest_level
members directly into the isc_log_t structure, so we don't have to
access the .logconfig member in the isc_log_wouldlog() function.
In isc_log_woudlog() the .logconfig member of isc_log_t structure was
accessed unlocked on the merit that there could be just a race when
.logconfig would be NULL, so the message would not be logged. This
turned not to be true, as there's also data race deeper. The accessed
isc_logconfig_t object could be in the middle of destruction, so the
pointer would be still non-NULL, but the structure members could point
to a chunk of memory no longer belonging to the object. Since we are
only accessing integer types (the log level), this would never lead to
a crash, it leads to memory access to memory area no longer belonging to
the object and this a) wrong, b) raises a red flag in thread-safety tools.
The isc_mem API now crashes on memory allocation failure, and this is
the next commit in series to cleanup the code that could fail before,
but cannot fail now, e.g. isc_result_t return type has been changed to
void for the isc_log API functions that could only return ISC_R_SUCCESS.
A data race was happening while BIND was starting due to
isc_log_wouldlog function accessing lctx->logconfig without a lock.
To prevent that without incurring much costs, that variable was made
atomic.

4579. [func] Logging channels and dnstap output files can now
be configured with a "suffix" option, set to
either "increment" or "timestamp", indicating
whether to use incrementing numbers or timestamps
as the file suffix when rolling over a log file.
[RT #42838]
4518. [func] The "print-time" option in the logging configuration
can now take arguments "local", "iso8601" or
"iso8601-utc" to indicate the format in which the
date and time should be logged. For backward
compatibility, "yes" is a synonym for "local".
[RT #42585]
4411. [func] "rndc dnstap -roll" automatically rolls the
dnstap output file; the previous version is
saved with ".0" suffix, and earlier versions
with ".1" and so on. An optional numeric argument
indicates how many prior files to save. [RT #42830]
