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.
The `rndc` argument was always overridden by the static configuration,
because the logic for handling the number of dnstap files to retain
was both backwards and a bit redundant.
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.
Similarly, the manpage sources will get rebuild only when in maintainer
mode because they require sphinx-build to be available locally and that
might not be always the case.
The files in doc/misc requires all the BIND 9 libraries to be built
before the documentation can be built. One of the extra automake
features is maintainer mode that allows to conditionally build and clean
files that require special tools. Make use of the automake maintainer
mode to not rebuild the files in doc/misc under normal circumstances.
if tests that take a particularly long time to complete
(serve-stale, dnssec, rpzrecurse) are run first, a parallel
run of the system tests can finish 1-2 minutes faster.
The doc/misc/options is used to generate a file describing all
configuration options. Currently, the file contents could differ
based on ./configure option which is kind of suboptimal.
We already removed the "// not configured" from the options.active, and
this time we remove generation of the string altogether.
these keywords were added to the parser as synonyms for "master"
and "slave" but were never hooked in to the configuration of named,
so they were ignored. this has been fixed and the option is now
checked for correctness.
The isc_nm_cancelread() function cancels reading on a connected
socket and calls its read callback function with a 'result'
parameter of ISC_R_CANCELED.
when isc_nm_destroy() is called, there's a loop that waits for
other references to be detached, pausing and unpausing the netmgr
to ensure that all the workers' events are run, followed by a
1-second sleep. this caused a delay on shutdown which will be
noticeable when netmgr is used in tools other than named itself,
so the delay has now been reduced to a hundredth of a second.
the isc_nm_tcpconnect() function establishes a client connection via
TCP. once the connection is esablished, a callback function will be
called with a newly created network manager handle.
A TCPDNS socket creates a handle for each complete DNS message.
Previously, when all the handles were disconnected, the socket
would be closed, but the wrapped TCP socket might still have
more to read.
Now, when a connection is established, the TCPDNS socket creates
a reference to itself by attaching itself to sock->self. This
reference isn't cleared until the connection is closed via
EOF, timeout, or server shutdown. This allows the socket to remain
open even when there are no active handles for it.
- isc__nmhandle_get() now attaches to the sock in the nmhandle object.
the caller is responsible for dereferencing the original socket
pointer when necessary.
- tcpdns listener sockets attach sock->outer to the outer tcp listener
socket. tcpdns connected sockets attach sock->outerhandle to the handle
for the tcp connected socket.
- only listener sockets need to be attached/detached directly. connected
sockets should only be accessed and reference-counted via their
associated handles.
there is no need for a caller to reference-count socket objects.
they need tto be able tto close listener sockets (i.e., those
returned by isc_nm_listen{udp,tcp,tcpdns}), and an isc_nmsocket_close()
function has been added for that. other sockets are only accessed via
handles.
Since the reference BIND version for the ABI check job which is run for
the main branch is now 9.17.2, autoreconf needs to be run before
./configure as the latter is no longer present in the Git repository.
