This commit simplifies the cachedb rrset statistics in two ways:
- Introduce new rdtypecounter arithmetics, allowing bitwise
operations.
- Remove the special DLV statistic counter.
New rdtypecounter arithmetics
-----------------------------
"The rdtypecounter arithmetics is a brain twister". Replace the
enum counters with some defines. A rdtypecounter is now 8 bits for
RRtypes and 3 bits for flags:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| | | | | | S |NX| RRType |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
If the 8 bits for RRtype are all zero, this is an Other RRtype.
Bit 7 is the NXRRSET (NX) flag and indicates whether this is a
positive (0) or a negative (1) RRset.
Then bit 5 and 6 mostly tell you if this counter is for an active,
stale, or ancient RRtype:
S = 0x00 means Active
S = 0x01 means Stale
S = 0x10 means Ancient
Since a counter cannot be stale and ancient at the same time, we
treat S = 0x11 as a special case to deal with NXDOMAIN counters.
S = 0x11 indicates an NXDOMAIN counter and in this case the RRtype
field signals the expiry of this cached item:
RRType = 0 means Active
RRType = 1 means Stale
RRType = 2 means Ancient
