Meson is a modern build system that has seen a rise in adoption and some
version of it is available in almost every platform supported.
Compared to automake, meson has the following advantages:
* Meson provides a significant boost to the build and configuration time by
better exploiting parallelism.
* Meson is subjectively considered to be better in readability.
These merits alone justify experimenting with meson as a way of
improving development time and ergonomics. However, there are some
compromises to ensure the transition goes relatively smooth:
* The system tests currently rely on various files within the source
directory. Changing this requirement is a non-trivial task that can't
be currently justified. Currently the last compiled build directory
writes into the source tree which is in turn used by pytest.
* The minimum version supported has been fixed at 0.63. Increasing this
value will require choosing a baseline of distributions that can
package with meson. On the contrary, there will likely be an attempt
to decrease this value to ensure almost universal support for building
BIND 9 with meson.
Make `HAVE_FEATURE` macros `#ifdef`-only to make it consistent and
cleaner for meson. Within meson, setting configuration as `false`
doesn't assign a value and explicitly using 0 doesn't work with the
sourceset module.
A number of result codes are obsolete and can be removed. Others, including `ISC_R_NOMEMORY`, are still checked in various places even though they can't occur any longer. These have been cleaned up.

ISCCC_R_SYNTAX, ISCCC_R_EXPIRED, and ISCCC_R_CLOCKSKEW have the
same usage and text formats as DNS_R_SYNTAX, DNS_R_EXPIRED and
DNS_R_CLOCKSCREW respectively. this was originally done because
result codes were defined in separate libraries, and some tool
might be linked with libisccc but not libdns. as the result codes
are now defined in only one place, there's no need to retain the
duplicates.
building BIND without crypto support is no longer possible.
consequently this result code is never sent, and therefore we
don't need code in calling functions to handle it.
the isc_mem allocation functions can no longer fail; as a result,
ISC_R_NOMEMORY is now rarely used: only when an external library
such as libjson-c or libfstrm could return NULL. (even in
these cases, arguably we should assert rather than returning
ISC_R_NOMEMORY.)
code and comments that mentioned ISC_R_NOMEMORY have been
cleaned up, and the following functions have been changed to
type void, since (in most cases) the only value they could
return was ISC_R_SUCCESS:
- dns_dns64_create()
- dns_dyndb_create()
- dns_ipkeylist_resize()
- dns_kasp_create()
- dns_kasp_key_create()
- dns_keystore_create()
- dns_order_create()
- dns_order_add()
- dns_peerlist_new()
- dns_tkeyctx_create()
- dns_view_create()
- dns_zone_setorigin()
- dns_zone_setfile()
- dns_zone_setstream()
- dns_zone_getdbtype()
- dns_zone_setjournal()
- dns_zone_setkeydirectory()
- isc_lex_openstream()
- isc_portset_create()
- isc_symtab_create()
(the exception is dns_view_create(), which could have returned
other error codes in the event of a crypto library failure when
calling isc_file_sanitize(), but that should be a RUNTIME_CHECK
anyway.)
Adjust the limit of maximum disagreements in respdiff results based on
recent pipeline results.
The respdiff and respdiff:asan seem to have almost identical results,
typically around 0.07 % of differences with ocassional spikes up to
around 0.11 %. Similar results are for respdiff:tsan, perhaps with more
common spikes with values up to around 0.12 %. Set the limit to 0.15 %
to allow for some tolerance due to network conditions, time of day etc.
The respdiff:third-party has a slightly higher disagreements average,
with typical values being around 0.12 %. Set the limit to 0.2 %.
Exceeding either of those values should be quite clear indication that
some resolution behaviour has changed, since the values appear to be
very stable within the newly configured limits.

There was confusion about whether the interval was calculated from
the validity period provided on the command line (with -s and -e),
or from the signature being replaced.
Add text to clarify that the interval is calculated from the new
validity period.

In the case when `dnssec-signzone` is called on an already signed zone, and the private key file is unavailable, a signature that needs to be refreshed may be dropped without being able to generate a replacement. This has been fixed.
Closes#5126
Merge branch '5126-dnssec-signzone-retain-rrsig-if-key-is-offline' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9951
Track inside the dns_dnsseckey structure whether we have seen the
private key, or if this key only has a public key file.
If the key only has a public key file, or a DNSKEY reference in the
zone, mark the key 'pubkey'. In dnssec-signzone, if the key only
has a public key available, consider the key to be offline. Any
signatures that should be refreshed for which the key is not available,
retain the signature.
So in the code, 'expired' becomes 'refresh', and the new 'expired'
is only used to determine whether we need to keep the signature if
the corresponding key is not available (retaining the signature if
it is not expired).
In the 'keysthatsigned' function, we can remove:
- key->force_publish = false;
- key->force_sign = false;
because they are redundant ('dns_dnsseckey_create' already sets these
values to false).
Add a test case for the scenario below.
There is a case when signing a zone with dnssec-signzone where the
private key file is moved outside the key directory (for offline
ksk purposes), and then the zone is resigned. The signature of the
DNSKEY needs refreshing, but is not expired.
Rather than removing the signature without having a valid replacement,
leave the signature in the zone (despite it needs to be refreshed).
If the generated status output exceeds 4096 it was silently truncated, now we output that the status was truncated.

Extended DNS error mechanism (EDE) may have several errors raised during a DNS resolution. `named` is now able to add up to three EDE codes in a DNS response. In the case of duplicate error codes, only the first one will be part of the DNS response.
Closes#5085
Merge branch '5085-multiple-ede' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9952
Extended DNS error mechanism (EDE) enables to have several EDE raised
during a DNS resolution (typically, a DNSSEC query will do multiple
fetches which each of them can have an error). Add support to up to 3
EDE errors in an DNS response. If duplicates occur (two EDEs with the
same code, the extra text is not compared), only the first one will be
part of the DNS answer.
Because the maximum number of EDE is statically fixed, `ns_client_t`
object own a static vector of `DNS_DE_MAX_ERRORS` (instead of a linked
list, for instance). The array can be fully filled (all slots point to
an allocated `dns_ednsopt_t` object) or partially filled (or
empty). In such case, the first NULL slot means there is no more EDE
objects.
When 'ISC_R_TIMEDOUT' is received in 'tcp_recv()', it times out the
oldest response in the active responses queue, and only after that it
checks whether other active responses have also timed out. So when
setting a timeout value for a read operation after a successful
connection, it makes sense to take the timeout value from the oldest
response in the active queue too, because, theoretically, the responses
can have different timeout values, e.g. when the TCP dispatch is shared.
Currently 'resp' is always NULL. Previously when connect and read timeouts
were not separated in dispatch this affected only logging, but now since
we are setting a new timeout after a successful connection, we need to
choose a suitable response from the active queue.
Merge branch 'aram/dispatch-tcp_connected-fix' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9927
Since the read timeout now works, the resolver time outs from the
dispatch level instead of from the "hung fetch" timer, and so the
EDE value in 'fctx_expired()' is not being set. Remove the expected
EDE value from the test.
When TCP is used, 'fctx_query()' adds one second to the rtt
(round-trip time) value, but there's a bug when the decision
about using TCP is made already after the calculation. Move the
block of the code which looks up the peers list to decide
whether to use TCP into a place that's before the rtt calculation
is performed. This commit doesn't add or remove any code, it just
moves the code and adds a comment block.

Prevent lock contention among many worker threads referring to the same database node at the same time. This would improve zone and cache database performance for the heavily contended database nodes.
Closes#5130
Merge branch '5130-reduce-lock-contention-in-decrement-reference' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9963
Previously, this function always acquires a node write lock if it
might need node cleanup in case the reference decrements to 0. In
fact, the lock is unnecessary if the reference is larger than 1 and it
can be optimized as an "easy" case. This optimization could even be
"necessary". In some extreme cases, many worker threads could repeat
acquring and releasing the reference on the same node, resulting in
severe lock contention for nothing (as the ref wouldn't decrement to 0
in most cases). This change would prevent noticeable performance
drop like query timeout for such cases.

Shutdown the fetch context immediately after the last fetch has been canceled from
that particular fetch context.
Merge branch 'ondrej/shutdown-the-fetch-context-early' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9958
Currently, the fetch context will continue running even when the last
fetch (response) has been removed from the context, so named can process
and cache the answer. This can lead to a situation where the number of
outgoing recursing clients exceeds the the configured number for
recursive-clients.
Be more stringent about the recursive-clients limit and shutdown the
fetch context immediately after the last fetch has been canceled from
that particular fetch context.
Resolver under heavy-load could exhaust the memory available for storing
the information in the Address Database (ADB) effectively evicting already
stored information in the ADB. The memory used to retrieve and provide
information from the ADB is now not a subject of the same memory limits
that are applied for storing the information in the Address Database.
