The lock-file configuration (both from configuration file and -X
argument to named) has better alternatives nowadays. Modern process
supervisor should be used to ensure that a single named process is
running on a given configuration.
Alternatively, it's possible to wrap the named with flock(1).
The lock file was being removed when we hadn't successfully locked
it which defeated the purpose of the lockfile. Adjust cleanup_lockfile
such that it only unlinks the lockfile if we have successfully locked
the lockfile and it is still active (lockfile != NULL).
this function was just a front-end for gethostname(). it was
needed when we supported windows, which has a different function
for looking up the hostname; it's not needed any longer.
The only function left in the isc_resource API was setting the file
limit. Replace the whole unit with a simple getrlimit to check the
maximum value of RLIMIT_NOFILE and set the maximum back to rlimit_cur.
This is more compatible than trying to set RLIMIT_UNLIMITED on the
RLIMIT_NOFILE as it doesn't work on Linux (see man 5 proc on
/proc/sys/fs/nr_open), neither it does on Darwin kernel (see man 2
getrlimit).
The only place where the maximum value could be raised under privileged
user would be BSDs, but the `named_os_adjustnofile()` were not called
there before. We would apply the increased limits only on Linux and Sun
platforms.
On Linux, the libcap is now mandatory. It makes things simpler for us.
System without {set,get}res{uid,gid} now have compatibility shim using
setreuid/setregid or seteuid/setegid to setup effective UID/GID, so the
same code can be called all the time (including on Linux).
This commit fixes a startup issue on Solaris systems with
many (reportedly > 510) CPUs by bumping RLIMIT_NOFILE. This appears to
be a regression from 9.11.
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.
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.
