7d61a33921 BUG/MEDIUM: stick-table: fix regression caused by a change in proxy struct
In commit 1b8e68e ("MEDIUM: stick-table: Stop handling stick-tables as
proxies."), the ->table member of proxy struct was replaced by a pointer
that is not always checked and in some situations can cause a segfault,
eg. during reload or while using "show table" on CLI socket.

No backport is needed.

c02766a267 MINOR: stick-table: Add prefixes to stick-table names.
With this patch we add a prefix to stick-table names declared in "peers" sections
concatenating the "peers" section name followed by a '/' character with
the stick-table name. Consequently, "peers" sections have their own
namespace for their stick-tables. Obviously, these stick-table names are not the
ones which should be sent over the network. So these configurations must be
compatible and should make A and B peers communicate with peers protocol:

    # haproxy A config, old way stick-table declerations
    peers mypeers
        peer A ...
        peer B ...

    backend t1
        stick-table type string size 10m store gpc0 peers mypeers

    # haproxy B config, new way stick-table declerations
    peers mypeers
        peer A ...
        peer B ...
        table t1 type string size store gpc0 10m

This "network" name is stored in ->nid new field of stktable struct. The "local"
stktable-name is still stored in ->id.

1b8e68e89a MEDIUM: stick-table: Stop handling stick-tables as proxies.
This patch adds the support for the "table" line parsing in "peers" sections
to declare stick-table in such sections. This also prevents the user from having
to declare dummy backends sections with a unique stick-table inside.
Even if still supported, this usage will become deprecated.

To do so, the ->table member of proxy struct which is a stktable struct is replaced
by a pointer to a stktable struct allocated at parsing time in src/cfgparse-listen.c
for the dummy stick-table backends and in src/cfgparse.c for "peers" sections.
This has an impact on the code for stick-table sample converters and on the stickiness
rules parsers which first store the name of the dummy before resolving the rules.
This patch replaces proxy_tbl_by_name() calls by stktable_find_by_name() calls
to lookup for stick-tables stored in "stktable_by_name" ebtree at parsing time.
There is only one remaining place where proxy_tbl_by_name() is used: src/hlua.c.

At several places in the code we relied on the fact that ->size member of stick-table
was equal to zero to consider the stick-table was present by not configured,
this do not make sense anymore as ->table member of struct proxyis fow now on a pointer.
These tests are replaced by a test on ->table value itself.

In "peers" section we do not have to temporary store the name of the section the
stick-table are attached to because this name is obviously already known just after
having entered this "peers" section.

About the CLI stick-table I/O handler, the pointer to proxy struct is replaced by
a pointer to a stktable struct.

d456aa4ac2 MINOR: config: Extract the code of "stick-table" line parsing.
With this patch we move the code responsible of parsing "stick-table"
lines to implement parse_stick_table() function in src/stick-tabble.c
so that to be able to parse "stick-table" elsewhere than in proxy sections.
We have have also added a conf struct to stktable struct to store the filename
and the line in the file the stick-table has been parsed to help in
diagnosing and displaying any configuration issue.

0108d90c6c MEDIUM: init: convert all trivial registration calls to initcalls
This switches explicit calls to various trivial registration methods for
keywords, muxes or protocols from constructors to INITCALL1 at stage
STG_REGISTER. All these calls have in common to consume a single pointer
and return void. Doing this removes 26 constructors. The following calls
were addressed :

- acl_register_keywords
- bind_register_keywords
- cfg_register_keywords
- cli_register_kw
- flt_register_keywords

db398435aa MINOR: stream-int: replace si_cant_put() with si_rx_room_{blk,rdy}()
Remaining calls to si_cant_put() were all for lack of room and were

cleared by hand were converted to si_rx_room_rdy().

The now unused si_cant_put() function was removed.

52dabbc4fa BUG/MEDIUM: Make sure stksess is properly aligned.
When we allocate struct stksess, we also allocate memory to store the
associated data before the struct itself.
As the data can be of different types, they can have different size. However,
we need the struct stksess to be properly aligned, as it can do 64bits
load/store (including atomic load/stores) on 64bits platforms, and some of
them doesn't support unaligned access.
So, when allocating the struct stksess, round the size up to the next
multiple of sizeof(void *), and make sure the struct stksess itself is
properly aligned.
Many thanks to Paul Martin for investigating and reporting that bug.

This should be backported to earlier releases.

61c112aa5b REORG: http: move HTTP rules parsing to http_rules.c
These ones are mostly called from cfgparse.c for the parsing and do
not depend on the HTTP representation. The functions's prototypes
were moved to proto/http_rules.h, making this file work exactly like
tcp_rules. Ideally we should stop calling these functions directly
from cfgparse and register keywords, but there are a few cases where
that wouldn't work (stats http-request) so it's probably not worth
trying to go this far.

843b7cbe9d MEDIUM: chunks: make the chunk struct's fields match the buffer struct
Chunks are only a subset of a buffer (a non-wrapping version with no head
offset). Despite this we still carry a lot of duplicated code between
buffers and chunks. Replacing chunks with buffers would significantly
reduce the maintenance efforts. This first patch renames the chunk's
fields to match the name and types used by struct buffers, with the goal
of isolating the code changes from the declaration changes.

Most of the changes were made with spatch using this coccinelle script :

  @rule_d1@
  typedef chunk;
  struct chunk chunk;
  @@
  - chunk.str
  + chunk.area

  @rule_d2@
  typedef chunk;
  struct chunk chunk;
  @@
  - chunk.len
  + chunk.data

  @rule_i1@
  typedef chunk;
  struct chunk *chunk;
  @@
  - chunk->str
  + chunk->area

  @rule_i2@
  typedef chunk;
  struct chunk *chunk;
  @@
  - chunk->len
  + chunk->data

Some minor updates to 3 http functions had to be performed to take size_t
ints instead of ints in order to match the unsigned length here.

43e903553e MINOR: stick-tables: make stktable_release() do nothing on NULL
stktable_release() has been involved in two recent crashes by being
used without enough care. Just like any free() function this one is
often called on an exit path with a possibly unsafe argument. Given
that there is another case (smp_fetch_sc_trackers()) which theorically
could call it with an unchecked NULL, though it cannot happen since
the function doesn't support being called with src_* hence cannot make
use of tmpstkctr, let's rather move the check into the function itself
to make it safer for the long term.

This patch could be backported to 1.8 as a strengthening measure.

When a lookup is done on a key not present in the stick-table the "st"

3e60b11100 BUG/MEDIUM: stick-tables: Decrement ref_cnt in table_* converters
When using table_* converters ref_cnt was incremented
and never decremented causing entries to not expire.

The root cause appears to be that stktable_lookup_key()
was called within all sample_conv_table_* functions which was
incrementing ref_cnt and not decrementing after completion.

Added stktable_release() to the end of each sample_conv_table_*
function and reworked the end logic to ensure that ref_cnt is
always decremented after use.

This should be backported to 1.8

abbf607105 MEDIUM: cli: Add payload support
In order to use arbitrary data in the CLI (multiple lines or group of words
that must be considered as a whole, for example), it is now possible to add a
payload to the commands. To do so, the first line needs to end with a special
pattern: <<\n. Everything that follows will be left untouched by the CLI parser
and will be passed to the commands parsers.

Per-command support will need to be added to take advantage of this
feature.

There's been multiple proxies in haproxy for quite some time, and "proxy"
is a potential source of bugs, a number of functions have a "proxy" argument,
and some code used "proxy" when it really meant "px" or "curproxy". It worked
by pure luck, because it usually happened while parsing the config, and thus
"proxy" pointed to the currently parsed proxy, but we should probably not
rely on this.

819fc6f563 MEDIUM: threads/stick-tables: handle multithreads on stick tables
The stick table API was slightly reworked:

A global spin lock on stick table was added to perform lookup and
insert in a thread safe way. The handling of refcount on entries
is now handled directly by stick tables functions under protection
of this lock and was removed from the code of callers.

The "stktable_store" function is no more externalized and users should
now use "stktable_set_entry" in any case of insertion. This last one performs
a lookup followed by a store if not found. So the code using "stktable_store"
was re-worked.

Lookup, and set_entry functions automatically increase the refcount
of the returned/stored entry.

The function "sticktable_touch" was renamed "sticktable_touch_local"
and is now able to decrease the refcount if last arg is set to true. It
is allowing to release the entry without taking the lock twice.

A new function "sticktable_touch_remote" is now used to insert
entries coming from remote peers at the right place in the update tree.
The code of peer update was re-worked to use this new function.
This function is also able to decrease the refcount if wanted.

The function "stksess_kill" also handle a parameter to decrease
the refcount on the entry.

A read/write lock is added on each entry to protect the data content
updates of the entry.

c60def8368 MAJOR: threads/task: handle multithread on task scheduler
2 global locks have been added to protect, respectively, the run queue and the
wait queue. And a process mask has been added on each task. Like for FDs, this
mask is used to know which threads are allowed to process a task.

For many tasks, all threads are granted. And this must be your first intension
when you create a new task, else you have a good reason to make a task sticky on
some threads. This is then the responsibility to the process callback to lock
what have to be locked in the task context.

Nevertheless, all tasks linked to a session must be sticky on the thread
creating the session. It is important that I/O handlers processing session FDs
and these tasks run on the same thread to avoid conflicts.

f13ebdf286 REORG: cli: move table dump/clear/set to stick_table.c
The table dump code was a horrible mess, with common parts interleaved
all the way to deal with the various actions (set/clear/show). A few
error messages were still incorrect, as the "set" operation did not
update them so they would still report "unknown action" (now fixed).

The action was now passed as a private argument to the CLI keyword
which itself is copied into the appctx private field. It's just an
int cast to a pointer.

Some minor issues were noticed while doing this, for example when dumping
an entry by key, if the key doesn't exist, nothing is printed, not even
the table's header. It's unclear whether this was intentional but it
doesn't really match what is done for data-based dumps. It was left
unchanged for now so that a later fix can be backported if needed.

Enum entries STAT_CLI_O_TAB, STAT_CLI_O_CLR and STAT_CLI_O_SET were
removed.

with :

f65c6c0456 BUG/MEDIUM: stick-table: properly convert binary samples to keys
The binary sample to stick-table key conversion is wrong. It doesn't
check that the binary sample is writable before padding it. After a
quick audit, it doesn't look like any existing sample fetch function
can trigger this bug. The correct fix consists in calling smp_make_rw()
prior to padding the sample.

This fix should be backported to 1.6.

ce6955e632 BUG/MEDIUM: stick-tables: do not fail on string keys with no allocated size
When a stick-table key is derived from a string-based sample, it checks
if it's properly zero-terminated otherwise tries to do so. But the test
doesn't work for two reasons :
  - the reported allocated size may be zero while the sample is maked as
    not CONST (eg: certain sample fetch functions like smp_fetch_base()
    do this), so smp_dup() prior to the recent changes will fail on this.

  - the string might have been converted from a binary sample, where the
    trailing zero is not appended. If the sample was writable, smp_dup()
    would not modify it either and we would fail again here. This may
    happen with req.payload or req.body_param for example.

The correct solution consists in calling smp_make_safe() to ensure the
sample is usable as a valid string.

This fix must be backported to 1.6.

2d17db589b MINOR: stick-table: change all stick-table converters' inputs to SMP_T_ANY
The stick-table converters used to take a string on input because it
was the only type that could be casted to from any other type. This is
inefficient and possibly inaccurate sometimes. For example in order to
look up an IP address, it must first be converted to a string then
converted back to an IP address.

We've had SMP_T_ANY introduced long ago in 1.6, but unfortunately it
was not propagated to these converters, so let's do it now.

It's important to note that a few direct type conversions which already
would not make any sense are not possible (for example, converting a
boolean to an IP address or an HTTP method to an integer). While this
would have caused the lookup to be performed on the wrong key, now the
lookup will fail and the converter will return no data. While there
should not be any case where this happens, it's probably best to avoid
backporting this change before a longer observation period.

f0c730a0ac BUG/MEDIUM: stick-tables: fix breakage in table converters
Baptiste reported that the table_conn_rate() converter would always
return zero in 1.6.5. In fact, commit bc8c404 ("MAJOR: stick-tables:
use sample types in place of dedicated types") broke all stick-table
converters because smp_to_stkey() now returns a pointer to the sample
instead of holding a copy of the key, and the converters used to
reinitialize the sample prior to performing the lookup. Only
"in_table()" continued to work.

The construct is still fragile, so some comments were added to a few
function to clarify their impacts. It's also worth noting that there
is no point anymore in forcing these converters to take a string on
input, but that will be changed in another commit.

The bug was introduced in 1.6-dev4, this fix must be backported to 1.6.

3c2f2f207f CLEANUP: remove unneeded casts
In C89, "void *" is automatically promoted to any pointer type. Casting
the result of malloc/calloc to the type of the LHS variable is therefore
unneeded.

Most of this patch was built using this Coccinelle patch:

@@
type T;
@@

- (T *)
  (\(lua_touserdata\|malloc\|calloc\|SSL_get_app_data\|hlua_checkudata\|lua_newuserdata\)(...))

@@
type T;
T *x;
void *data;
@@

  x =
- (T *)
  data

@@
type T;
T *x;
T *data;
@@

  x =
- (T *)
  data

Unfortunately, either Coccinelle or I is too limited to detect situation
where a complex RHS expression is of type "void *" and therefore casting
is not needed. Those cases were manually examined and corrected.
