With the introduction of the generated changelog, the CHANGES file
became a symlink to doc/arm/changelog.rst. After the changes made in
!9549, the changelog file transitioned from being a wholly generated
file to one that includes versioned changelog files, which are
themselves generated. However, while implementing !9549, we overlooked
that the CHANGES file is copied to a release directory on an FTP server
and contains just "include" directives, not the changelog itself.
Therefore, in the same fashion as the "RELEASE-NOTES*.html" file, create
a "CHANGELOG*.html" file that redirects to the Changelog appendix of the
ARM.
This adds support for User Statically Defined Tracing (USDT). On
Linux, this uses the header from SystemTap and dtrace utility, but the
support is universal as long as dtrace is available.
Also add the required infrastructure to add probes to libisc, libdns and
libns libraries, where most of the probes will be.
This change adds a number of support routines for the unit tests, and
for benchmarks and fuzz tests to be added later. It isn't necessary to
include the support routines in libdns, since they are not needed by
BIND's installed programs. So `libtest` seems like the best place for
them.
The tests themselves verify that dns_qpkey_fromname() behaves as
expected.
the built-in trust anchors in named and delv are sufficent for
validation. named still needs to be able to load trust anchors from
a bind.keys file for testing purposes, but it doesn't need to be
the default behavior.
we now only load trust anchors from a file if explicitly specified
via the "bindkeys-file" option in named or the "-a" command line
argument to delv. documentation has been cleaned up to remove references
to /etc/bind.keys.
Closes#3850.
The unit tests are now using a common base, which means that
lib/dns/tests/ code now has to include lib/isc/include/isc/test.h and
link with lib/isc/test.c and lib/ns/tests has to include both libisc and
libdns parts.
Instead of cross-linking code between the directories, move the
/lib/<foo>/test.c to /tests/<foo>.c and /lib/<foo>/include/<foo>test.h
to /tests/include/tests/<foo>.h and create a single libtest.la
convenience library in /tests/.
At the same time, move the /lib/<foo>/tests/ to /tests/<foo>/ (but keep
it symlinked to the old location) and adjust paths accordingly. In few
places, we are now using absolute paths instead of relative paths,
because the directory level has changed. By moving the directories
under the /tests/ directory, the test-related code is kept in a single
place and we can avoid referencing files between libns->libdns->libisc
which is unhealthy because they live in a separate Makefile-space.
In the future, the /bin/tests/ should be merged to /tests/ and symlink
kept, and the /fuzz/ directory moved to /tests/fuzz/.
While libltdl is a feature-rich library, BIND 9 code only uses its basic
capabilities, which are also provided by libuv and which BIND 9 already
uses for other purposes. As libuv's cross-platform shared library
handling interface is modeled after the POSIX dlopen() interface,
converting code using the latter to the former is simple. Replace
libltdl function calls with their libuv counterparts, refactoring the
code as necessary. Remove all use of libltdl from the BIND 9 source
tree.
The fuzzing tests were temporarily disabled when the build system has been
converted to automake. This commit restores the functionality to run the
fuzzing tests as part of the `make check`. When the afl or libfuzzer
is enabled via ./configure, it uses a custom LOG_DRIVER (fuzz/<fuzzer.sh>).
Currently only libfuzzer.sh has been implemented that runs each fuzz
test for 5 seconds each.
The "srcid" file present in each BIND source tarball contains a
shortened hash of the Git commit corresponding to a given BIND release.
This allows a Git reference to be included in an archive that otherwise
lacks any Git information.
Before the move to Automake, if an "srcid" file was present in the root
source directory at the time ./configure was run, its contents were used
as the value of a compile-time constant which was then baked into BIND
binaries; otherwise, "git rev-parse" was used to determine the value of
that constant.
With Automake, a similar approach was attempted that required the
"srcid" file to be present at autoreconf time in order for it to be
used. However, note that this means that even if that file is present
in a source tarball created using "make dist", its contents are not
going to influence the value of the aforementioned compile-time constant
because autoreconf hardcodes the output of "git rev-parse" into the
configure script at autoreconf time.
To make things more clear, always use "git rev-parse" for determining
the value of the PACKAGE_SRCID compile-time constant when running
autoreconf. This causes "srcid" to be an empty string in source
tarballs built from other source tarballs, but that is not deemed to be
much of an issue as "make dist" is expected to be run from Git
repository clones. Remove stderr redirections to /dev/null to ensure
errors caused e.g. by running "make dist" from outside a Git repository
clone are not hidden. Trim the Git commit hash to 7 characters for
consistency between Unix and Windows systems.
Despite the above, ensure the "srcid" file is present in source tarballs
created using "make dist" as that file is used by the build process on
Windows.
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
The code in util/bindkeys.pl was overly complicated and it could not be
reused on Windows because redirecting stdin and stdout at the same time
from perl is overly complicated.
Now the util/bindkeys.pl accepts the input file as the first and only
argument and prints the header file to stdout. This allows the same
utility to be used from automake and win32/Configure script.
The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
