With dnssec-policy you can pregenerate keys and if they are eligible,
rather than creating a new key, a key is selected from the pregenerated
keys. A key is eligible if it is unused, i.e it has no key timing
metadata set.
the pattern `for (x = ISC_LIST_HEAD(...); x != NULL; ISC_LIST_NEXT(...)`
has been changed to `ISC_LIST_FOREACH` throughout BIND, except in a few
cases where the change would be excessively complex.
in most cases this was a straightforward change. in some places,
however, the list element variable was referenced after the loop
ended, and the code was refactored to avoid this necessity.
also, because `ISC_LIST_FOREACH` uses typeof(list.head) to declare
the list elements, compilation failures can occur if the list object
has a `const` qualifier. some `const` qualifiers have been removed
from function parameters to avoid this problem, and where that was not
possible, `UNCONST` was used.
This can be set at the option, view and server levels and causes
named to add an EDNS ZONEVERSION option to requests. Replies are
logged to the 'zoneversion' category.
The offsets were meant to speed-up the repeated dns_name operations, but
it was experimentally proven that there's actually no real-world
benefit. Remove the offsets and labels fields from the dns_name and the
static offsets fields to save 128 bytes from the fixedname in favor of
calculating labels and offsets only when needed.
Instead of relying on unreliable order of execution of the library
constructors and destructors, move them to individual binaries. The
advantage is that the execution time and order will remain constant and
will not depend on the dynamic load dependency solver.
This requires more work, but that was mitigated by a simple requirement,
any executable using libisc and libdns, must include <isc/lib.h> and
<dns/lib.h> respectively (in this particular order). In turn, these two
headers must not be included from within any library as they contain
inlined functions marked with constructor/destructor attributes.
Previously a hard-coded limitation of maximum two key or message
verification checks were introduced when checking the message's
SIG(0) signature. It was done in order to protect against possible
DoS attacks. The logic behind choosing the number two was that more
than one key should only be required only during key rotations, and
in that case two keys are enough. But later it became apparent that
there are other use cases too where even more keys are required, see
issue number #5050 in GitLab.
This change introduces two new configuration options for the views,
sig0key-checks-limit and sig0message-checks-limit, which define how
many keys are allowed to be checked to find a matching key, and how
many message verifications are allowed to take place once a matching
key has been found. The latter protects against expensive cryptographic
operations when there are keys with colliding tags and algorithm
numbers, with default being 2, and the former protects against a bit
less expensive key parsing operations and defaults to 16.
Expose the average transfer rate (in bytes-per-second) during the
last full 'min-transfer-rate-in <bytes> <minutes>' minutes interval.
If no such interval has passed yet, then the overall average rate is
reported instead.
This new option sets a minimum amount of transfer rate for
an incoming zone transfer that will abort a transfer, which
for some network related reasons run very slowly.
Extracting the exact address that each wildcard/TCP socket is bound to
locally requires issuing the getsockname() system call, which libuv
exposes via its uv_*_getsockname() functions. This is only required for
detailed logging and comes at a noticeable performance cost, so it
should not happen by default. However, it is useful for debugging
certain problems (e.g. cryptic system test failures), so a convenient
way of enabling that behavior should exist.
Update isc_nmhandle_localaddr() so that it calls uv_*_getsockname() when
the ISC_SOCKET_DETAILS preprocessor macro is set at compile time.
Ensure proper handling of sockets that wrap other sockets.
Set the new ISC_SOCKET_DETAILS macro by default when --enable-developer
is passed to ./configure. This enables detailed logging in the system
tests run in GitLab CI without affecting performance in non-development
BIND 9 builds.
Note that setting the ISC_SOCKET_DETAILS preprocessor macro at compile
time enables all callers of isc_nmhandle_localaddr() to extract the
exact address of a given local socket, which results e.g. in dnstap
captures containing more accurate information.
Mention the new preprocessor macro in the section of the ARM that
discusses why exact socket addresses may not be logged by default.
Since BIND 9 headers are not longer public, there's no reason to keep
the ISC_LANG_BEGINDECL and ISC_LANG_ENDDECL macros to support including
them from C++ projects.
DLV is long gone, so we can remove design documentation around DLV,
related command line options (that were already a hard failure),
and some DLV related test remnants.
The 'remote-servers' named.conf reference conflicts with the standard
term from the glossary. Rename the standard term to server-list to
make the docs build.
Having zone statements that are also top blocks is confusing, and if
we want to add more in the future (which I suspect will be for
generalized notifications, multi-signer), we need to duplicate a lot
of code.
Remove top blocks 'parental-agents' and 'primaries' and just have one
top block 'remote-servers' that you can refer to with zone statements.
