The previous versions of BIND 9 exported its internal libraries so that
they can be used by third-party applications more easily. Certain
library functions were altered from specific BIND-only behavior to more
generic behavior when used by other applications.
This commit removes the function isc_lib_register() that was used by
external applications to enable the functionality.
The removed function 'newchain(a, b)' was almost the same as calling
!chain_equal(a, b), varying only in the amount of data compared
in the non-fixed-length data portion of given chain nodes.
A third argument 'data_size' has been introduced into 'chain_equal'
function in order to allow it to know how many bytes to compare in the
variable-length data portion of the chain nodes.
A helper function 'chain_length(e)' has been introduced to allow
easy calculation of the total length of the non-fixed-length data part
of chain nodes.

Clear the key slots for dnssec-sign statistics for keys that are
removed. This way, the number of slots will stabilize to the maximum
key usage in a zone and will not grow every time a key rollover is
triggered.
We have introduced dnssec-sign statistics to the zone statistics. This
introduced an operational issue because when using zone-statistics
full, the memory usage was going through the roof. We fixed this by
by allocating just four key slots per zone. If a zone exceeds the
number of keys for example through a key rollover, the keys will be
rotated out on a FIFO basis.
This works for most cases, and fixes the immediate problem of high
memory usage, but if you sign your zone with many, many keys, or are
sign with a ZSK/KSK double algorithm strategy you may experience weird
statistics. A better strategy is to grow the number of key slots per
zone on key rollover events.
That is what this commit is doing: instead of rotating the four slots
to track sign statistics, named now grows the number of key slots
during a key rollover (or via some other method that introduces new
keys).
After a reload, if the zone hasn't changed, this will log a
DNS_R_UNCHANGED error. This should not be at error level because it
happens on every reload.
The additional processing method has been expanded to take the
owner name of the record, as HTTPS and SVBC need it to process "."
in service form.
The additional section callback can now return the RRset that was
added. We use this when adding CNAMEs. Previously, the recursion
would stop if it detected that a record you added already exists. With
CNAMEs this rule doesn't work, as you ultimately care about the RRset
at the target of the CNAME and not the presence of the CNAME itself.
Returning the record allows the caller to restart with the target
name. As CNAMEs can form loops, loop protection was added.
As HTTPS and SVBC can produce infinite chains, we prevent this by
tracking recursion depth and stopping if we go too deep.
When looking up a zonecut in cache, we use 'dns_rbt_findnode' to find
the closest matching node. This function however does not take into
account stale nodes. When we do find a stale node and use it, this
has implications for subsequent lookups. For example, this may break
QNAME minimization because we are using a deeper zonecut than we should
have.
Check the header for staleness and if so, and stale entries are not
accepted, look for the deepest zonecut from this node up.
There are some occurrences where we check if a header exists in the
rbtdb. These cases require that the header is also not marked as
ancient (aka ready for cleanup). These cases involve finding certain
data in cache.
When copying metadata from one dst_key to another, when the source
dst_key has a boolean metadata unset, the destination dst_key will
have a numeric metadata unset instead.
This means that if a key has KSK or ZSK unset, we may be clearing the
Predecessor or Successor metadata in the destination dst_key.
On the isc_mem water change the old water_t structure could be used
after free. Instead of introducing reference counting on the hot-path
we are going to introduce additional constraints on the
isc_mem_setwater. Once it's set for the first time, the additional
calls have to be made with the same water and water_arg arguments.
Increasing the nodelock count had major impact on the memory footprint
in scenarios where multiple rbtdb structure would be created like
hosting many zones in a single server.
This reverts commit 0344684385 and sets
the nodelock count to previously used values.
If we have a CDS or CDNSKEY we at least need to have a DNSKEY with the
same algorithm published and signing the CDS RRset. Same for CDNSKEY
of course.
This relaxes the zone_cdscheck function, because before the CDS or
CDNSKEY had to match a DNSKEY, now only the algorithm has to match.
This allows a provider in a multisigner model to update the CDS/CDNSKEY
RRset in the zone that is served by the other provider.

The proper way how to disable the water limit in the isc_mem context is
to call:
isc_mem_setwater(ctx, NULL, NULL, 0, 0);
this ensures that the old water callback is called with ISC_MEM_LOWATER
if the callback was called with ISC_MEM_HIWATER before.
Historically, there were some places where the limits were disabled by
calling:
isc_mem_setwater(ctx, water, water_arg, 0, 0);
which would also call the old callback, but it also causes the water_t
to be allocated and extra check to be executed because water callback is
not NULL.
This commits unifies the calls to disable water to the preferred form.
- isc_mempool_get() can no longer fail; when there are no more objects
in the pool, more are always allocated. checking for NULL return is
no longer necessary.
- the isc_mempool_setmaxalloc() and isc_mempool_getmaxalloc() functions
are no longer used and have been removed.
Current mempools are kind of hybrid structures - they serve two
purposes:
1. mempool with a lock is basically static sized allocator with
pre-allocated free items
2. mempool without a lock is a doubly-linked list of preallocated items
The first kind of usage could be easily replaced with jemalloc small
sized arena objects and thread-local caches.
The second usage not-so-much and we need to keep this (in
libdns:message.c) for performance reasons.
The isc/platform.h header was left empty which things either already
moved to config.h or to appropriate headers. This is just the final
cleanup commit.
The last remaining defines needed for platforms without NAME_MAX and
PATH_MAX (I'm looking at you, GNU Hurd) were moved to isc/dir.h where
it's prevalently used.
