In 1.8 when muxes and conn_streams were introduced, the call to
conn_full_close() was replaced with a call to cs_close() which only
relied on shutr/shutw (commits 6978db35e ("MINOR: connection:
add cs_close() to close a conn_stream") and a553ae96f ("MEDIUM:
connection: replace conn_full_close() with cs_close()")). By then
this was fine, and the rare risk of non-idempotent calls was addressed
by the muxes implementing the functions (e.g. mux_pt).
Later with commit 325607397 ("MEDIUM: stream: do not forcefully close
the client connection anymore"), stream_free() started to call cs_close()
instead of forcibly closing the connection via conn_full_close(). At this
point this started to break idempotence because it was possible to emit
a shutw() (e.g. when option httpclose was set), then to have it called
agian upon stream_free() via cs_close(). By then it was not a problem
since only mux_pt would implement this and did check for idempotence.
When HTX was implemented and mux-h1/h2 offered support for shutw/shutr,
the idempotence changed a little bit because the last shutdown mode
(normal/silent) was recorded and used at the moment of closing. The
call to cs_close() uses the silent mode and will replace the current
one. This has an effect on data pending in the buffer if the FIN could
not be sent before cs_close(), because lingering may be disabled and
final data lost in the network stack.
Interestingly, during 2.4-dev3, this was addressed as the side effect
of an improvement by commit 3c82d8b32 ("MINOR: mux-h1: Rework how
shutdowns are handled"), where the H1 mux's shutdown function becomes
explicitly idempotent. However older versions (2.3 to 2.0) do not have
it.
This patch addresses the issue globally by making sure that cs_shutr()
and cs_shutw() are idempotent and cannot have their data truncated by
a late cs_close(). It fixes the truncation that is observed in 2.3 and
2.2 as described in issue #1450.
This must be backported as far as 2.0, along with commit f14d750bf
("BUG/MEDIUM: conn-stream: Don't reset CS flags on close") which it
depends on.
Implement a reload failure counter which counts the number of failure
since the last success. This counter is available in 'show proc' over
the master CLI.
cs_close() and cs_drain_and_close() are called to close a conn-stream.
cs_shutr() and cs_shutw() are called with the appropriate modes. But the
conn-stream is not released at this stage. However the flags are
reset. Thus, after a cs_close(), we loose shutdown flags. If cs_close() is
performed several times, it is a problem. And indeed, it is possible. On one
hand, the stream-interface may close the conn-stream. On the other end, the
stream always closes it when it is released.
It is a problem for the H1 multiplexer. Because the conn-stream flags are
reset, the shutr and shutw are performed twice. For a delayed shutdown, the
dirty mode is used instead of the normal one because the last call to
h1_shutw() overwrite H1C flags set by the first call. This leads to dirty
shutdowns while normal ones are required. At the end, it is possible to
truncate the messages.
This bug was revealed by the commit a85c522d4 ("BUG/MINOR: mux-h1: Save
shutdown mode if the shutdown is delayed").
This patch is related to the issue #1450. It must be backported as far as
2.0.
- add new metric: `haproxy_backend_agg_server_check_status`
it counts the number of servers matching a specific check status
this permits to exclude per server check status as the usage is often
to rely on the total. Indeed in large setup having thousands of
servers per backend the memory impact is not neglible to store the per
server metric.
- realign promex_str_metrics array
quite simple implementation - we could improve it later by adding an
internal state to the prometheus exporter, thus to avoid counting at
every dump.
this patch is an attempt to close github issue #1312. It may bebackported
to 2.4 if requested.

This function claims to perform an strncat()-like operation but it does
not, it always copies the indicated number of bytes, regardless of the
presence of a NUL character (what is currently done by chunk_memcat()).
Let's remove it and explicitly replace it with chunk_memcat().
Commit 3d2093af9 ("MINOR: connection: Add a connection error code sample
fetch") added these convenient sample-fetch functions but it appears that
due to a misunderstanding the redundant "conn" part was kept in their
name, causing confusion, since "fc" already stands for "front connection".
Let's simply call them "fc_err" and "bc_err" to match all other related
ones before they appear in a final release. The VTC they appeared in were
also updated, and the alpha sort in the keywords table updated.

->frms_rwlock is an old lock supposed to be used when several threads
could handle the same connection. This is no more the case since this
commit:
"MINOR: quic: Attach the QUIC connection to a thread."
Add a buffer per QUIC connection. At this time the listener which receives
the UDP datagram is responsible of identifying the underlying QUIC connection
and must copy the QUIC packets to its buffer.
->pkt_list member has been added to quic_conn struct to enlist the packets
in the order they have been copied to the connection buffer so that to be
able to consume this buffer when the packets are freed. This list is locked
thanks to a R/W lock to protect it from concurent accesses.
quic_rx_packet struct does not use a static buffer anymore to store the QUIC
packets contents.
At this time we allocate an RX buffer by thread.
Also take the opportunity offered by this patch to rename TX related variable
names to distinguish them from the RX part.
This patch renames all dns extra counters and stats functions, types and
enums using the 'resolv' prefix/suffixes.
The dns extra counter domain id used on cli was replaced by "resolvers"
instead of "dns".
The typed extra counter prefix dumping resolvers domain "D." was
also renamed "N." because it points counters on a Nameserver.
This was done to finish the split between "resolver" and "dns" layers
and to avoid further misunderstanding when haproxy will handle dns
load balancing.
This should not be backported.
This patch add a union and struct into dns_counter struct to split
application specific counters.
The only current existing application is the resolver.c layer but
in futur we could handle different application such as dns load
balancing with others specific counters.
This patch should not be backported.
Handle properly websocket streams if the server uses an ALPN with both
h1 and h2. Add a new field h2_ws in the server structure. If set to off,
reuse is automatically disable on backend and ALPN is forced to http1.x
if possible. Nothing is done if on.
Implement a mechanism to be able to use a different http version for
websocket streams. A new server member <ws> represents the algorithm to
select the protocol. This can overrides the server <proto>
configuration. If the connection uses ALPN for proto selection, it is
updated for websocket streams to select the right protocol.
Three mode of selection are implemented :
- auto : use the same protocol between non-ws and ws streams. If ALPN is
use, try to update it to "http/1.1"; this is only done if the server
ALPN contains "http/1.1".
- h1 : use http/1.1
- h2 : use http/2.0; this requires the server to support RFC8441 or an
error will be returned by haproxy.
Add a new parameter force_mux_ops. This will be useful to specify an
alternative to the srv->mux_proto field. If non-NULL, it will be use to
force the mux protocol wether srv->mux_proto is set or not.
This argument will become useful to install a mux for non-standard
streams, most notably websocket streams.
Implement a new function to update the ALPN on an existing connection.
on an existing connection. The ALPN from the ssl context can be checked
to update the ALPN only if it is a subset of the context value.
This method will be useful to change a connection ALPN for websocket,
must notably if the server does not support h2 websocket through the
rfc8441 Extended Connect.
Define a new stream flag SF_WEBSOCKET and a new cs flag CS_FL_WEBSOCKET.
The conn-stream flag is first set by h1/h2 muxes if the request is a
valid websocket upgrade. The flag is then converted to SF_WEBSOCKET on
the stream creation.
This will be useful to properly manage websocket streams in
connect_server().
With this feature the lua implementation of the httpclient is now able
to stream a payload larger than an haproxy buffer.
The hlua_httpclient_send() function is now split into:
hlua_httpclient_send() which initiate the httpclient and parse the lua
parameters
hlua_httpclient_snd_yield() which will send the request and be called
again to stream the request if the body is larger than an haproxy buffer
hlua_httpclient_rcv_yield() which will receive the response and store it
in the lua buffer.
This patch add a way to handle HTTP requests streaming using a
callback.
The end of the data must be specified by using the "end" parameter in
httpclient_req_xfer().
The memcpy() call in the aarch64 version of __ha_cas_dw() is sometimes
inlined and sometimes not, depending on the gcc version. It's only used
to copy two void*, so let's use direct assignment instead of memcpy().
It would also be possible to change the asm code to directly write there,
but it's not worth it.
With this change the code is 8kB smaller with gcc-5.4.
__atomic_compare_exchange() is incorrectly documented in the gcc builtins
doc, it says the desired value is "type *desired" while in reality it is
"const type *desired" as expected since that value must in no way be
modified by the operation. However it seems that clang has implemented
it as documented, and reports build warnings when fed a const.
This is quite problematic because it means we have to betry the callers,
pretending we won't touch their constants but not knowing what the
compiler would do with them, and possibly hiding future bugs.
Instead of forcing a cast, let's just switch to the better
__atomic_compare_exchange_n() that takes a value instead of a pointer.
At least with this one there is no doubt about how the input will be
used.
It was verified that the output object code is the same both in clang
and gcc with this change.
At a few places we were still using protocol_by_family() instead of
the richer protocol_lookup(). The former is limited as it enforces
SOCK_STREAM and a stream protocol at the control layer. At least with
protocol_lookup() we don't have this limitationn. The values were still
set for now but later we can imagine making them configurable on the
fly.
Instead of using sock_type and ctrl_type to select a protocol, let's
make use of the new protocol type. For now they always match so there
is no change. This is applied to address parsing and to socket retrieval
from older processes.
The protocol selection is currently performed based on the family,
control type and socket type. But this is often not enough, as both
only provide DGRAM or STREAM, leaving few variants. Protocols like
SCTP for example might be indistinguishable from TCP here. Same goes
for TCP extensions like MPTCP.
This commit introduces a new enum proto_type that is placed in each
and every protocol definition, that will usually more or less match
the sock_type, but being an enum, will support additional values.
For now, these addresses are never set. But the idea is to be able to set, at
least first, the client source and destination addresses at the stream level
without updating the session or connection ones.
Of course, because these addresses are carried by the strream-interface, it
would be possible to set server source and destination addresses at this level
too.
Functions to fill these addresses have been added: si_get_src() and
si_get_dst(). If not already set, these functions relies on underlying
layers to fill stream-interface addresses. On the frontend side, the session
addresses are used if set, otherwise the client connection ones are used. On
the backend side, the server connection addresses are used.
And just like for sessions and conncetions, si_src() and si_dst() may be used to
get source and destination addresses or the stream-interface. And, if not set,
same mechanism as above is used.
For now, these addresses are never set. But the idea is to be able to set
client source and destination addresses at the session level without
updating the connection ones.
Functions to fill these addresses have been added: sess_get_src() and
sess_get_dst(). If not already set, these functions relies on
conn_get_src() and conn_get_dst() to fill session addresses.
And just like for conncetions, sess_src() and sess_dst() may be used to get
source and destination addresses. However, if not set, the corresponding
address from the underlying client connection is returned. When this
happens, the addresses is filled in the connection object.
conn_get_src() and conn_get_dst() functions are used to fill the source and
destination addresses of a connection. On success, ->src and ->dst
connection fields can be safely used.
For convenience, 2 new functions are added here: conn_src() and conn_dst().
These functions return the corresponding address, as a const and only if it
is already set. Otherwise NULL is returned.
Flags used to set the execution context of a lua txn are used as an enum. It is
not uncommon but there are few flags otherwise. So to remove ambiguities, a
comment and a _NONE value are added to have a clear definition of supported
values.
This patch should fix the issue #1429. No backport needed.
httpclient_req_gen() takes a payload argument which can be use to put a
payload in the request. This payload can only fit a request buffer.
This payload can also be specified by the "body" named parameter within
the lua. httpclient.
It is also used within the CLI httpclient when specified as a CLI
payload with "<<".
Use include file <sys/time.h> to fix compilation error with timeval in
some files. This is as reported as 'man 7 system_data_types'. The build
error is reported on NetBSD 9.2.
This should be backported up to 2.2.
Some browsers may send Initial packets with sizes greater than 1252 bytes
(QUIC_INITIAL_IPV4_MTU). Let us increase this size limit up to 2048 bytes.
Also use this size for "max_udp_payload_size" transport parameter to limit
the size of the datagrams we want to receive.
Sometimes we'd like to do our best to drain pending data before closing
in order to save the peer from risking to receive an RST on close.
This adds a new connection flag CO_FL_WANT_DRAIN that is used to
trigger a call to conn_ctrl_drain() from conn_ctrl_close(), and the
sock_drain() function ignores fd_recv_ready() if this flag is set,
in order to catch latest data. It's not used for now.
This applicationn specific flag was added in 2.4-dev by commit 6fa8bcdc7
("MINOR: task: add an application specific flag to the state: TASK_F_USR1")
to help preserve a the idle connections status across wakeup calls. While
the code to do this was OK for tasklets, it was wrong for tasks, as in an
effort not to lose it when setting the RUNNING flag (that tasklets don't
have), it ended up being inconditionally set. It just happens that for now
no regular tasks use it, only tasklets.
This fix makes sure we always atomically perform (state & flags | running)
there, using a CAS. It also does it for tasklets because it was possible
to lose some such flags if set by another thread, even though this should
not happen with current code. In order to make the code more readable (and
avoid the previous mistake of repeated flags in the bit field), a new
TASK_PERSISTENT aggregate was declared in task.h for this.
In practice the CAS is cheap here because task states are stable or
convergent so the loop will almost never be taken.
This should be backported to 2.4.
This macro is similar to LIST_INLIST() except that it is guaranteed to
perform the test atomically, so that even if LIST_INLIST() is intrumented
with debugging code to perform extra consistency checks, it will not fail
when used in the context of barriers and atomic ops.
perf top shows that we spend a lot of time trying to read item->type in
the lookup loop, because the node is placed after the very long name,
so when the node is found, no data is in the cache yet. Let's simply
move the node upper in the struct. This results in the CPU usage of
resolv_validate_dns_response() to drop by 4 points.
A bogus test in b_get_varint(), b_put_varint(), b_peek_varint() shifts
the end of the buffer by one byte. Since the bug is the same in the read
and write functions, the buffer contents remain compatible, which explains
why this bug was not detected earlier. But if the buffer ends on an
aligned address or page, it can result in a one-byte overflow which will
typically cause a crash or an inconsistent behavior.
This API is only used by rings (e.g. for traces and boot messages) and
by DNS responses, so the probability to hit it is extremely low, but a
crash on boot was observed.
This must be backported to 2.2.
With SRV records, a huge amount of time is spent looking for records
by walking long lists. It is possible to reduce this by indexing values
in trees instead. However the whole code relies a lot on the list
ordering, and even implements some round-robin on it to distribute IP
addresses to servers.
This patch starts carefully by replacing the list with a an eb32 tree
that is still used like a list, with a constant key 0. Since ebtrees
preserve insertion order for duplicates, the tree walk visits the nodes
in the exact same order it did with the lists. This allows to implement
the required infrastructure without changing the behavior.
This one was used to indicate whether the callee had to follow particularly
safe code path when removing resolutions. Since the code now uses a kill
list, this is not needed anymore.
This code is dangerous enough that we certainly don't want external code
to ever approach it, let's not export unnecessary functions like this one.
It was made static and a comment was added about its purpose.
In order for all the error return values to be distributed on the same
side (instead of surrounding the success error code), the return values
for errors other than a simple verification failure are switched to
negative values. This way the result of the jwt_verify converter can be
compared strictly to 1 as well relative to 0 (any <= 0 return value is
an error).
The documentation was also modified to discourage conversion of the
return value into a boolean (which would definitely not work).
The PR_FL_READY flags must now be set on a proxy at the end of the
configuration validity check to notify it is fully configured and may be
safely used.
For now there is no real usage of this flag. But it will be usefull for
referenced default proxies to finish their configuration only once.
This patch is mandatory to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections.
A proxy may now references the defaults section it is used. To do so, a
pointer on the default proxy was added in the proxy structure. And a
refcount must be used to track proxies using a default proxy. A default
proxy is destroyed iff its refcount is equal to zero and when it drops to
zero.
All this stuff must be performed during init/deinit staged for now. All
unreferenced default proxies are removed after the configuration parsing.
This patch is mandatory to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections.
It is now possible to designate the defaults section to use by adding a name
of the corresponding defaults section and referencing it in the desired
proxy section. However, this introduces an ambiguity. This named defaults
section may still be implicitly used by other proxies if it is the last one
defined. In this case for instance:
default common
...
default frt from common
...
default bck from common
...
frontend fe from frt
...
backend be from bck
...
listen stats
...
Here, it is not really obvious the last section will use the 'bck' defaults
section. And it is probably not the expected behaviour. To help users to
properly configure their haproxy, a warning is now emitted if a defaults
section is explicitly AND implicitly used. The configuration manual was
updated accordingly.
Because this patch adds a warning, it should probably not be backported to
2.4. However, if is is backported, it depends on commit "MINOR: proxy:
Introduce proxy flags to replace disabled bitfield".
This change is required to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections. The
'disabled' bitfield in the proxy structure, used to know if a proxy is
disabled or stopped, is replaced a generic bitfield named 'flags'.
PR_DISABLED and PR_STOPPED flags are renamed to PR_FL_DISABLED and
PR_FL_STOPPED respectively. In addition, everywhere there is a test to know
if a proxy is disabled or stopped, there is now a bitwise AND operation on
PR_FL_DISABLED and/or PR_FL_STOPPED flags.
These two fields are exclusive as they depend on the data type.
Let's move them into a union to save some precious bytes. This
reduces the struct resolv_answer_item size from 600 to 576 bytes.
The struct resolv_answer_item contains an address field of type
"sockaddr" which is only 16 bytes long, but which is used to store
either IPv4 or IPv6. Fortunately, the contents only overlap with
the "target" field that follows it and that is large enough to
absorb the extra bytes needed to store AAAA records. But this is
dangerous as just moving fields around could result in memory
corruption.
The fix uses a union and removes the casts that were used to hide
the problem.
Older versions need to be checked and possibly fixed. This needs
to be backported anyway.
In multi-threaded mode, on operating systems supporting multiple listeners on
the same IP:port, this will automatically create this number of multiple
identical listeners for the same line, all bound to a fair share of the number
of the threads attached to this listener. This can sometimes be useful when
using very large thread counts where the in-kernel locking on a single socket
starts to cause a significant overhead. In this case the incoming traffic is
distributed over multiple sockets and the contention is reduced. Note that
doing this can easily increase the CPU usage by making more threads work a
little bit.
If the number of shards is higher than the number of available threads, it
will automatically be trimmed to the number of threads. A special value
"by-thread" will automatically assign one shard per thread.
This function's purpose will be to duplicate a listener in INIT state.
This will be used to ease declaration of listeners spanning multiple
groups, which will thus require multiple FDs hence multiple receivers.
With groups at some point we'll have to have distinct masks/groups in the
receiver and the bind_conf, because a single bind_conf might require to
instantiate multiple receivers (one per group).
Let's split the thread mask and group to have one for the bind_conf and
another one for the receiver while it remains easy to do. This will later
allow to use different storage for the bind_conf if needed (e.g. support
multiple groups).

Fix this compilation issue by inserting openssl-compat.h in jwt-t.h
This new converter takes a JSON Web Token, an algorithm (among the ones
specified for JWS tokens in RFC 7518) and a public key or a secret, and
it returns a verdict about the signature contained in the token. It does
not simply return a boolean because some specific error cases cas be
specified by returning an integer instead, such as unmanaged algorithms
or invalid tokens. This enables to distinguich malformed tokens from
tampered ones, that would be valid format-wise but would have a bad
signature.
This converter does not perform a full JWT validation as decribed in
section 7.2 of RFC 7519. For instance it does not ensure that the header
and payload parts of the token are completely valid JSON objects because
it would need a complete JSON parser. It only focuses on the signature
and checks that it matches the token's contents.
A JWT signed with the RSXXX or ESXXX algorithm (RSA or ECDSA) requires a
public certificate to be verified and to ensure it is valid. Those
certificates must not be read on disk at runtime so we need a caching
mechanism into which those certificates will be loaded during init.
This is done through a dedicated ebtree that is filled during
configuration parsing. The path to the public certificates will need to
be explicitely mentioned in the configuration so that certificates can
be loaded as early as possible.
This tree is different from the ckch one because ckch entries are much
bigger than the public certificates used in JWT validation process.
This helper function splits a JWT under Compact Serialization format
(dot-separated base64-url encoded strings) into its different sub
strings. Since we do not want to manage more than JWS for now, which can
only have at most three subparts, any JWT that has strictly more than
two dots is considered invalid.
The full list of possible algorithms used to create a JWS signature is
defined in section 3.1 of RFC7518. This patch adds a helper function
that converts the "alg" strings into an enum member.
This fetch can be used to retrieve the data contained in an HTTP
Authorization header when the Bearer scheme is used. This is used when
transmitting JSON Web Tokens for instance.
On receiving CONNECTION_CLOSE frame, the mux is flagged for immediate
connection close. A stream is closed even if there is data not ACKed
left if CONNECTION_CLOSE has been received.
The mux tx buffers have been rewritten with buffers attached to qcs
instances. qc_buf_available and qc_get_buf functions are updated to
manipulates qcs. All occurences of the unused qcc ring buffer are
removed to ease the code maintenance.
Defer the shutting of a qcs if there is still data in its tx buffers. In
this case, the conn_stream is closed but the qcs is kept with a new flag
QC_SF_DETACH.
On ACK reception, the xprt wake up the shut_tl tasklet if the stream is
flagged with QC_SF_DETACH. This tasklet is responsible to free the qcs
and possibly the qcc when all bidirectional streams are removed.
Remove the tx mux ring buffers in qcs, which should be in the qcc. For
the moment, use a simple architecture with 2 simple tx buffers in the
qcs.
The first buffer is used by the h3 layer to prepare the data. The mux
send operation transfer these into the 2nd buffer named xprt_buf. This
buffer is only freed when an ACK has been received.
This architecture is functional but not optimal for two reasons :
- it won't limit the buffer usage by connection
- each transfer on a new stream requires an allocation
This new ssllib_name_startswith precondition check can be used to
distinguish application linked with OpenSSL from the ones linked with
other SSL libraries (LibreSSL or BoringSSL namely). This check takes a
string as input and returns 1 when the SSL library's name starts with
the given string. It is based on the OpenSSL_version function which
returns the same output as the "openssl version" command.
These ones are passed on rule creation for the sole purpose of being
reported in "show sess", which is not done yet. For now the entries
are allocated upon rule creation and freed in free_act_rules().
Rules are currently allocated using calloc() by their caller, which does
not make it very convenient to pass more information such as the file
name and line number.
This patch introduces new_act_rule() which performs the malloc() and
already takes in argument the ruleset (ACT_F_*), the file name and the
line number. This saves the caller from having to assing ->from, and
will allow to improve the internal storage with more info.
Rename __GLOBL and __GLOBL1 to __HA_GLOBL and __HA_GLOBL1, as the former are
already defined on FreeBSD.
This should be backported to 2.4, 2.3 and 2.2.
There have been a large number of issues reported with conn_cur
synchronization because the concept is wrong. In an active-passive
setup, pushing the local connections count from the active node to
the passive one will result in the passive node to have a higher
counter than the real number of connections. Due to this, after a
switchover, it will never be able to close enough connections to
go down to zero. The same commonly happens on reloads since the new
process preloads its values from the old process, and if no connection
happens for a key after the value is learned, it is impossible to reset
the previous ones. In active-active setups it's a bit different, as the
number of connections reflects the number on the peer that pushed last.
This patch solves this by marking the "conn_cur" local and preventing
it from being learned from peers. It is still pushed, however, so that
any monitoring system that collects values from the peers will still
see it.
The patch is tiny and trivially backportable. While a change of behavior
in stable branches is never welcome, it remains possible to fix issues
if reports become frequent.
In the configuration sometimes we'll omit a thread group number to designate
a global thread number range, and sometimes we'll mention the group and
designate IDs within that group. The operation is more complex than it
seems due to the need to check for ranges spanning between multiple groups
and determining groups from threads from bit masks and remapping bit masks
between local/global.
This patch adds a function to perform this operation, it takes a group and
mask on input and updates them on output. It's designed to be used by "bind"
lines but will likely be usable at other places if needed.
For situations where specified threads do not exist in the group, we have
the choice in the code between silently fixing the thread set or failing
with a message. For now the better option seems to return an error, but if
it turns out to be an issue we can easily change that in the future. Note
that it should only happen with "x/even" when group x only has one thread.
This extends the "thread" statement of bind lines to support an optional
thread group number. When unspecified (0) it's an absolute thread range,
and when specified it's one relative to the thread group. Masks are still
used so no more than 64 threads may be specified at once, and a single
group is possible. The directive is not used for now.
This is the equivalent of "tid" for ease of access. In the future if we
make th_cfg a pure thread-local array (not a pointer), it may make sense
to move it there.
ha_set_tid() was randomly used either to explicitly set thread 0 or to
set any possibly incomplete thread during boot. Let's replace it with
a pointer to a valid thread or NULL for any thread. This allows us to
check that the designated threads are always valid, and to ignore the
thread 0's mapping when setting it to NULL, and always use group 0 with
it during boot.
The initialization code is also cleaner, as we don't pass ugly casts
of a thread ID to a pointer anymore.
This will be a convenient way to communicate the thread ID and its
local ID in the group, as well as their respective bits when creating
the threads or when only a pointer is given.
This will ease the reporting of the current thread group ID when coming
from the thread itself, especially since it returns the visible ID,
starting at 1.
This takes care of unassigned threads groups and places unassigned
threads there, in a more or less balanced way. Too sparse allocations
may still fail though. For now with a maximum group number fixed to 1
nothing can really fail.
A the "tg" thread-local variable now always points to the current
thread group. It's pre-initializd to the first one during boot and is
set to point to the thread's one by ha_set_tid(). This last one takes
care of checking whether the thread group was assigned or not because
it may be called during boot before threads are initialized.
This registers a mapping of threads to groups by enumerating for each thread
what group it belongs to, and marking the group as assigned. It takes care of
checking for redefinitions, overlaps, and holes. It supports both individual
numbers and ranges. The thread group is referenced from the thread config.
This creates a struct tgroup_info which knows the thread ID of the first
thread in a group, and the number of threads in it. For now there's only
one thread group supported in the configuration, but it may be forced to
other values for development purposes by defining MAX_TGROUPS, and it's
enabled even when threads are disabled and will need to remain accessible
during boot to keep a simple enough internal API.
For the purpose of easing the configurations which do not specify a thread
group, we're starting group numbering at 1 so that thread group 0 can be
"undefined" (i.e. for "bind" lines or when binding tasks).
The goal will be to later move there some global items that must be
made per-group.
We want to make sure that the current thread_info accessed via "ti" will
remain constant, so that we don't accidentally place new variable parts
there and so that the compiler knows that info retrieved from there is
not expected to have changed between two function calls.
Only a few init locations had to be adjusted to use the array and the
rest is unaffected.
The last 3 fields were 3 list heads that are per-thread, and which are:
- the pool's LRU head
- the buffer_wq
- the streams list head
Moving them into thread_ctx completes the removal of dynamic elements
from the struct thread_info. Now all these dynamic elements are packed
together at a single place for a thread.
The TI_FL_STUCK flag is manipulated by the watchdog and scheduler
and describes the apparent life/death of a thread so it changes
all the time and it makes sense to move it to the thread's context
for an active thread.
The "thread_info" name was initially chosen to store all info about
threads but since we now have a separate per-thread context, there is
no point keeping some of its elements in the thread_info struct.
As such, this patch moves prev_cpu_time, prev_mono_time and idle_pct to
thread_ctx, into the thread context, with the scheduler parts. Instead
of accessing them via "ti->" we now access them via "th_ctx->", which
makes more sense as they're totally dynamic, and will be required for
future evolutions. There's no room problem for now, the structure still
has 84 bytes available at the end.
The scheduler contains a lot of stuff that is thread-local and not
exclusively tied to the scheduler. Other parts (namely thread_info)
contain similar thread-local context that ought to be merged with
it but that is even less related to the scheduler. However moving
more data into this structure isn't possible since task.h is high
level and cannot be included everywhere (e.g. activity) without
causing include loops.
In the end, it appears that the task_per_thread represents most of
the per-thread context defined with generic types and should simply
move to tinfo.h so that everyone can use them.
The struct was renamed to thread_ctx and the variable "sched" was
renamed to "th_ctx". "sched" used to be initialized manually from
run_thread_poll_loop(), now it's initialized by ha_set_tid() just
like ti, tid, tid_bit.
The memset() in init_task() was removed in favor of a bss initialization
of the array, so that other subsystems can put their stuff in this array.
Since the tasklet array has TL_CLASSES elements, the TL_* definitions
was moved there as well, but it's not a problem.
The vast majority of the change in this patch is caused by the
renaming of the structures.
We used to remap SI_TKILL to SI_LWP when SI_TKILL was not available
(e.g. FreeBSD) but that's ugly and since we need this only in a single
switch/case block in wdt.c it's even simpler and cleaner to perform the
two tests there, so let's do this.
The watchdog timer had no more reason for being shared with the struct
thread_info since the watchdog is the only user now. Let's remove it
from the struct and move it to a static array in wdt.c. This removes
some ifdefs and the need for the ugly mapping to empty_t that might be
subject to a cast to a long when compared to TIMER_INVALID. Now timer_t
is not known outside of wdt.c and clock.c anymore.
This removes the knowledge of clockid_t from anywhere but clock.c, thus
eliminating a source of includes burden. The unused clock_id field was
removed from thread_info, and the definition setting of clockid_t was
removed from compat.h. The most visible change is that the function
now_cpu_time_thread() now takes the thread number instead of a tinfo
pointer.
The code that deals with timer creation for the WDT was moved to clock.c
and is called with the few relevant arguments. This removes the need for
awareness of clock_id from wdt.c and as such saves us from having to
share it outside. The timer_t is also known only from both ends but not
from the public API so that we don't have to create a fake timer_t
anymore on systems which do not support it (e.g. macos).
This was previously open-coded in run_thread_poll_loop(). Now that
we have clock.c dedicated to such stuff, let's move the code there
so that we don't need to keep such ifdefs nor to depend on the
clock_id.
Instead of fiddling with before_poll and after_poll in
activity_count_runtime(), the function is now called by
clock_entering_poll() which passes it the number of microseconds
spent working. This allows to remove all calls to
activity_count_runtime() from the pollers.
The entering_poll/leaving_poll/measure_idle functions that were hard
to classify and used to move to various locations have now been placed
into clock.c since it's precisely about time-keeping. The functions
were renamed to clock_*. The samp_time and idle_time values are now
static since there is no reason for them to be read from outside.
There is currently a problem related to time keeping. We're mixing
the functions to perform calculations with the os-dependent code
needed to retrieve and adjust the local time.
This patch extracts from time.{c,h} the parts that are solely dedicated
to time keeping. These are the "now" or "before_poll" variables for
example, as well as the various now_*() functions that make use of
gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to retrieve the current time.
The "tv_*" functions moved there were also more appropriately renamed
to "clock_*".
Other parts used to compute stolen time are in other files, they will
have to be picked next.
It was brough by an unneeded addition of a local variable after a test
in commit f7f53afcf ("BUILD/MEDIUM: tcp: set-mark setting support for
FreeBSD."). No backport needed.
Remove the quic_conn from the receiver connection_ids tree on
quic_conn_free. This fixes a crash due to dangling references in the
tree after a quic connection release.
This operation must be conducted under the listener lock. For this
reason, the quic_conn now contains a reference to its attached listener.
Following include reorganzation, there is some missing include files for
task.h when compiling with DEBUG_TASK :
- activity.h for task_profiling_mask
- time.h for now_mono_time()
This is present since the following commit
d8b325c748
REORG: task: uninline the loop time measurement code
No need to backport this.
These ones are rarely used or only to waste CPU cycles waiting, and are
the last ones requiring system includes in thread.h. Let's uninline them
and move them to thread.c.
This removes the thread identifiers from struct thread_info and moves
them only in static array in thread.c since it's now the only file that
needs to touch it. It's also the only file that needs to include
pthread.h, beyond haproxy.c which needs it to start the poll loop. As
a result, much less system includes are needed and the LoC reduced by
around 3%.
haproxy.c still has to deal with pthread-specific low-level stuff that
is OS-dependent. We should not have to deal with this there, and we do
not need to access pthread anywhere else.
Let's move these 3 functions to thread.c and keep empty inline ones for
when threads are disabled.
It's not needed to inline it at all (one call per loop) and it introduces
dependencies, let's move it to fd.c.
Removing the few remaining includes that came with it further reduced
by ~0.2% the LoC and the build time is now below 6s.
TV_ETERNITY, TV_ETERNITY_MS and MAX_DELAY_MS may be configured and
ought to be in defaults.h so that they can be inherited from everywhere
without including time.h and could also be redefined if neede
(particularly for MAX_DELAY_MS).
It's pointless to inline this, it's called exactly once per poll loop,
and it depends on time.h which is quite deep. Let's move that to task.c
along with sched_report_idle().
The remaining large functions are those allocating/initializing and
occasionally freeing connections, conn_streams and sockaddr. Let's
move them to connection.c. In fact, cs_free() is the only one-liner
but let's move it along with the other ones since a call will be
small compared to the rest of the work done there.
The following inlined functions are particularly large (and probably not
inlined at all by the compiler), and together represent roughly half of
the file, while they're used at most once per connection. They were moved
to connection.c.
conn_upgrade_mux_fe, conn_install_mux_fe, conn_install_mux_be,
conn_install_mux_chk, conn_delete_from_tree, conn_init, conn_new,
conn_free
No need to include the full tree management code, type files only
need the definitions. Doing so reduces the whole code size by around
3.6% and the build time is down to just 6s.
ebtree is one piece using a lot of inlines and each tree root or node
definition needed by many of our structures requires to parse and
compile all these includes, which is large and painfully slow. Let's
move the very basic definitions to their own file and include it from
ebtree.h.
The following functions are quite heavy and have no reason to be kept
inlined:
srv_release_conn, srv_lookup_conn, srv_lookup_conn_next,
srv_add_to_idle_list
They were moved to server.c. It's worth noting that they're a bit
at the edge between server and connection and that maybe we could
create an idle-conn file for these in the near future.
We do not really need to have them inlined, and having xxhash.h included
by connection.h results in this 4700-lines file being processed 101 times
over the whole project, which accounts for 13.5% of the total size!
Additionally, half of the functions are only needed from connection.c.
Let's move the functions there and get rid of the painful include.
The build time is now down to 6.2s just due to this.
The hash type stored everywhere is XXH64_hash_t, which annoyingly forces
everyone to include the huge xxhash file. We know it's an uint64_t because
that's its purpose and the type is only made to abstract it on machines
where uint64_t is not availble. Let's switch the type to uint64_t
everywhere and avoid including xxhash from the type file.
Plenty of includes were present there only for struct pointers resulting
in them being used from many other places. The LoC reduced again by more
than 1% by cleaning this.
This one is expensive in code size because it comes with xxhash.h at a
low level of dependency that's inherited at plenty of places, and for
a function does doesn't benefit from inlining and could possibly even
benefit from not being inline given that it's large and called from the
scheduler.
Moving it to activity.c reduces the LoC by 1.2% and the binary size by
~1kB.
This function has no reason for being inlined, it's called from non
critical places (once in pollers), is quite large and comes with
dependencies (time and freq_ctr). Let's move it to acitvity.c. That's
another 0.4% less LoC to build.
These are ticks, not timeval, and they're a cause for plenty of files
including time.h just to access now_ms that's only used with ticks
functions. Let's move them over there.
The idle time calculation stuff was moved to task.h by commit 6dfab112e
("REORG: sched: move idle time calculation from time.h to task.h") but
these two variables that are only maintained by task.{c,h} were still
left in time.{c,h}. They have to move as well.
These two counters were the only ones not in the global struct, while
the SSL freq counters or the req counts are already in it, this forces
stats.c to include ssl_sock just to know about them. Let's move them
over there with their friends. This reduces from 408 to 384 the number
of includes of opensslconf.h.
This one has nothing to do with ssl_sock as it manipulates the struct
server only. Let's move it to server.c and remove unneeded dependencies
on ssl_sock.h. This further reduces by 10% the number of includes of
opensslconf.h and by 0.5% the number of compiled lines.
This one doesn't use anything from an SSL context, it only checks the
type of the transport layer of a connection, thus it belongs to
connection.h. This is particularly visible due to all the ifdefs
around it in various call places.
This is exactly the same as for listeners, servers only include
openssl-compat to provide the SSL_CTX type to use as two pointers to
contexts, and to detect if NPN, ALPN, and cipher suites are supported,
and save up to 5 pointers in the ssl_ctx struct if not supported. This
is pointless, as these ones have all been supported for about a decade,
and including this file comes with a long dependency chain that impacts
lots of other files. The ctx was made a void*.
Now the build time was significantly reduced, from 9.2 to 8.1 seconds,
thanks to opensslconf.h being included "only" 456 times instead of 2424
previously!
The total number of lines of code compiled was reduced by 15%.
Listeners only include openssl-compat to provide the SSL_CTX type to
use as two pointers to contexts, and to detect if NPN, ALPN, and cipher
suites are supported, and save up to 5 pointers in the ssl_bind_conf
struct if not supported. This is pointless, as these ones have all been
supported for about a decade, and including this file comes with a long
dependency chain that impacts lots of other files. The initial_ctx and
default_ctx can perfectly remain void* instead of SSL_CTX*.
These functions have no reason for being inlined, and they require some
includes with long dependencies. Let's move them to listener.c and trim
unused includes in listener.h.
This file includes streams, proxies, Lua just for some definitions of
structures for which we only have a pointer. Let's drop this. That's
responsible for 0.2% of all the lines of code.
The lock-debugging code in thread.h has no reason to be inlined. the
functions are quite fat and perform a lot of operations so there's no
saving keeping them inlined. Worse, most of them are in fact not
inlined, resulting in a significantly bigger executable.
This patch moves all this part from thread.h to thread.c. The functions
are still exported in thread.h of course. This results in ~166kB less
code:
text data bss dec hex filename
3165938 99424 897376 4162738 3f84b2 haproxy-before
2991987 99424 897376 3988787 3cdd33 haproxy-after
In addition the build time with thread debugging enabled has shrunk
from 19.2 to 17.7s thanks to much less code to be parsed in thread.h
that is included virtually everywhere.
pool-os.h relies on a number of includes solely because the
pool_alloc_area() function was inlined, and this only because we want
the normal version to be inlined so that we can track the calling
places for the memory profiler. It's worth noting that it already
does not work at -O0, and that when UAF is enabled we don't care a
dime about profiling.
This patch does two things at once:
- force-inline the functions so that pool_alloc_area() is still
inlined at -O0 to help track malloc() users ;
- uninline the UAF version of these (that rely on mmap/munmap)
and move them to pools.c so that we can remove all unneeded
includes.
Doing so reduces by ~270kB or 0.15% the total build size.
These ones are called from a few places in the code and are only provided
by ebtree.h, which is not normal given that some callers do not even use
ebtree.
channel, stream_interface, appctx, buffer, proxy and htx ones are used
in function arguments and most of them are not defined but were inherited
from intermediary inclues. Let's define them here and drop the unneeded
includes.
Some structures are inherited via intermediary includes (e.g. dns_counters
comes from a long path). Let's define the missing ones and includes vars-t
that is needed in the structure.
We're using variable-to-sample conversion at least 4 times in the code,
two of which are bogus. Let's introduce a generic conversion function
that performs the required checks.
This one only handles integers, contrary to its sibling with the suffix
_str that only handles strings. Let's rename it and uninline it since it
may well be used from outside.
The SSL stuff in struct server takes less than 3% of it and requires
lots of annoying ifdefs in the code just to take care of the cases
where the field is absent. Let's get rid of this and stop including
openssl-compat from server.c to detect NPN and ALPN capabilities.
This reduces the total LoC by another 0.4%.
During httpclient_destroy, add a condition in the BUG_ON which checks
that the client was started before it has ended. A httpclient structure
could have been created without being started.
httpclient_stop_and_destroy() tries to destroy the httpclient structure
if the client was stopped.
In the case the client wasn't stopped, it ask the client to stop itself
and to destroy the httpclient structure itself during the release of the
applet.
That's where that code initially was but it had been moved to
activity_count_runtime() for pure reasons of dependency loops. These
ones are no longer true so we can move that code back to the scheduler
and keep it where the information are updated and checked.
time.h is a horrible place to put activity calculation, it's a
historical mistake because the functions were there. We already have
most of the parts in sched.{c,h} and these ones make an exception in
the middle, forcing time.h to include some thread stuff and to access
the before/after_poll and idle_pct values.
Let's move these 3 functions to task.h with the other ones. They were
prefixed with "sched_" instead of the historical "tv_" which already
made no sense anymore.
I don't know why I inlined this one, this makes no sense given that it's
only used for stats, and it starts a circular dependency on tinfo.h which
can be problematic in the future. In addition, all the stuff related to
idle time calculation should be with the rest of the scheduler, which
currently is in task.{c,h}, so let's move it there.
We'll need to improve the API to pass other arguments in the future, so
let's start to adapt better to the current use cases. task_new() is used:
- 18 times as task_new(tid_bit)
- 18 times as task_new(MAX_THREADS_MASK)
- 2 times with a single bit (in a loop)
- 1 in the debug code that uses a mask
This patch provides 3 new functions to achieve this:
- task_new_here() to create a task on the calling thread
- task_new_anywhere() to create a task to be run anywhere
- task_new_on() to create a task to run on a specific thread
The change is trivial and will allow us to later concentrate the
required adaptations to these 3 functions only. It's still possible
to call task_new() if needed but a comment was added to encourage the
use of the new ones instead. The debug code was not changed and still
uses it.
Work lists were a mechanism introduced in 1.8 to asynchronously delegate
some work to be performed on another thread via a dedicated task.
The only user was the listeners, to deal with the queue. Nowadays
the tasklets have made this much more convenient, and have replaced
work_lists in the listeners. It seems there will be no valid use case
of work lists anymore, so better get rid of them entirely and keep the
scheduler code cleaner.
__task_queue() must absolutely not be called with TICK_ETERNITY or it
will place a never-expiring node upfront in the timers queue, preventing
any timer from expiring until the process is restarted. Code was found
to cause this using "task_schedule(task, now_ms)" which does this one
millisecond every 49.7 days, so let's add a condition against this. It
must never trigger since any process susceptible to trigger it would
already accumulate tasks until it dies.
An extra test was added in wake_expired_tasks() to detect tasks whose
timeout would have been changed after being queued.
An improvement over this could be in the future to use a non-scalar
type (union/struct) for expiration dates so as to avoid the risk of
using them directly like this. But now_ms is already such a valid
time and this specific construct would still not be caught.
This could even be backported to stable versions to help detect other
occurrences if any.
The ssl_bc_hsk_err sample fetch will need to raise more errors than only
handshake related ones hence its renaming to a more generic ssl_bc_err.
This patch is required because some handshake failures that should have
been caught by this fetch (verify error on the server side for instance)
were missed. This is caused by a change in TLS1.3 in which the
'Finished' state on the client is reached before its certificate is sent
(and verified) on the server side (see the "Protocol Overview" part of
RFC 8446).
This means that the SSL_do_handshake call is finished long before the
server can verify and potentially reject the client certificate.
The ssl_bc_hsk_err will then need to be expanded to catch other types of
errors.
This change is also applied to the frontend fetches (ssl_fc_hsk_err
becomes ssl_fc_err) and to their string counterparts.
In case of a connection error happening after the SSL handshake is
completed, the error code stored in the connection structure would not
always be set, hence having some connection failures being described as
successful in the fc_conn_err or bc_conn_err sample fetches.
The most common case in which it could happen is when the SSL server
rejects the client's certificate. The SSL_do_handshake call on the
client side would be sucessful because the client effectively sent its
client hello and certificate information to the server, but the next
call to SSL_read on the client side would raise an SSL_ERROR_SSL code
(through the SSL_get_error function) which is decribed in OpenSSL
documentation as a non-recoverable and fatal SSL error.
This patch ensures that in such a case, the connection's error code is
set to a special CO_ERR_SSL_FATAL value.
There's no reason CONFIG_HAP_POOLS and its opposite are located into
pools-t.h, it forces those that depend on them to inlcude the file.
Other similar options are normally dealt with in defaults.h, which is
part of the default API, so let's do that.
According to the RFC7230, "chunked" encoding must not be applied more than
once to a message body. To handle this case, h1_parse_xfer_enc_header() is
now responsible to fail when a parsing error is found. It also fails if the
"chunked" encoding is not the last one for a request.
To help the parsing, two H1 parser flags have been added: H1_MF_TE_CHUNKED
and H1_MF_TE_OTHER. These flags are set, respectively, when "chunked"
encoding and any other encoding are found. H1_MF_CHNK flag is used when
"chunked" encoding is the last one.
This commit provides an hlua_httpclient object which is a bridge between
the httpclient and the lua API.
The HTTPClient is callable in lua this way:
local httpclient = core.httpclient()
local response = httpclient:get("http://127.0.0.1:9000/?s=9999")
core.Debug("Status: ".. res.status .. ", Reason : " .. res.reason .. ", Len:" .. string.len(res.body) .. "\n")
The resulting response object will provide a "status" field which
contains the status code, a "reason" string which contains the reason
string, and a "body" field which contains the response body.
The implementation uses the httpclient callback to wake up the lua task
which yield each time it pushes some data. The httpclient works in the
same thread as the lua task.
The transient flag CO_RFL_BUF_NOT_STUCK should now be set when the mux's
rcv_buf() function is called, in si_cs_recv(), to be sure the mux is able to
perform some optimisation during data copy. This flag is set when we are
sure the channel buffer is not stuck. Concretely, it happens when there are
data scheduled to be sent.
It is not a fix and this flag is not used for now. But it makes sense to have
this info to be sure to be able to do some optimisations if necessary.
This patch is related to the issue #1362. It may be backported to 2.4 to
ease future backports.
HTX_FL_FRAGMENTED flag is now set on an HTX message when it is
fragmented. It happens when an HTX block is removed in the middle of the
message and flagged as unused. HTX_FL_FRAGMENTED flag is removed when all
data are removed from the message or when the message is defragmented.
Note that some optimisations are still possible because the flag can be
avoided in other situations. For instance when the last header of a bodyless
message is removed.
If the stream-interface is waiting for more buffer room to store incoming
data, it is important at the stream level to stop to wait for more data to
continue. Thanks to the previous patch ("BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int: Notify
stream that the mux wants more room to xfer data"), the stream is woken up
when this happens. In this patch, we take care to interrupt the
corresponding tcp-content ruleset or to stop waiting for the HTTP message
payload.
To ease detection of the state, si_rx_blocked_room() helper function has
been added. It returns non-zero if the stream interface's Rx path is blocked
because of lack of room in the input buffer.
This patch is part of a series related to the issue #1362. It should be
backported as ar as 2.0, probably with some adaptations. So be careful
during backports.
When the mux failed to transfer data to the upper layer because of a lack of
room, it is important to wake the stream up to let it handle this
event. Otherwise, if the stream is waiting for more data, both the stream
and the mux reamin blocked waiting for each other.
When this happens, the mux set the CS_FL_WANT_ROOM flag on the
conn-stream. Thus, in si_cs_recv() we are able to detect this event. Today,
the stream-interface is blocked. But, it is not enough to wake the stream
up. To fix the bug, CF_READ_PARTIAL flag is extended to also handle cases
where a read exception occurred. This flag should idealy be renamed. But for
now, it is good enough. By setting this flag, we are sure the stream will be
woken up.
This patch is part of a series related to the issue #1362. It should be
backported as far as 2.0, probably with some adaptations. So be careful
during backports.
When a message is parsed and copied into the channel buffer, in
h1_process_demux(), more space is requested if some pending data remain
after the parsing while the channel buffer is not empty. To do so,
CS_FL_WANT_ROOM flag is set. It means the H1 parser needs more space in the
channel buffer to continue. In the stream-interface, when this flag is set,
the SI is considered as blocked on the RX path. It is only unblocked when
some data are sent.
However, it is not accurrate because the parsing may be stopped because
there is not enough data to continue. For instance in the middle of a chunk
size. In this case, some data may have been already copied but the parser is
blocked because it must receive more data to continue. If the calling SI is
blocked on RX at this stage when the stream is waiting for the payload
(because http-buffer-request is set for instance), the stream remains stuck
infinitely.
To fix the bug, we must request more space to the app layer only when it is
not possible to copied more data. Actually, this happens when data remain in
the input buffer while the H1 parser is in states MSG_DATA or MSG_TUNNEL, or
when we are unable to copy headers or trailers into a non-empty buffer.
The first condition is quite easy to handle. The second one requires an API
refactoring. h1_parse_msg_hdrs() and h1_parse_msg_tlrs() fnuctions have been
updated. Now it is possible to know when we need more space in the buffer to
copy headers or trailers (-2 is returned). In the H1 mux, a new H1S flag
(H1S_F_RX_CONGESTED) is used to track this state inside h1_process_demux().
This patch is part of a series related to the issue #1362. It should be
backported as far as 2.0, probably with some adaptations. So be careful
during backports.
During the packet loss detection we must treat the paquet number
in this order Initial -> Handshake -> O1RTT. This was not the case
due to the chosen order to implement the array of packet number space
which was there before the packet loss detection implementation.
The STREAM data to send coming from the upper layer must be stored until
having being acked by the peer. To do so, we store them in buffer structs,
one by stream (see qcs.tx.buf). Each time a STREAM is built by quic_push_frame(),
its offset must match the offset of the first byte added to the buffer (modulo
the size of the buffer) by the frame. As they are not always acknowledged in
order, they may be stored in eb_trees ordered by their offset to be sure
to sequentially delete the STREAM data from their buffer, in the order they
have been added to it.
This function does exactly the same thing as b_xfer() which transfers
data from a struct buffer to another one but without zero copy when
the destination buffer is empty. This is at least useful to transfer
h3 data to the QUIC mux from buffer with garbage medata which have
been used to build h3 frames without too much memcopy()/memmove().
The peer transport parameter values were not initialized with
the default ones (when absent), especially the
"active_connection_id_limit" parameter with 2 as default value
when absent from received remote transport parameters. This
had as side effect to send too much NEW_CONNECTION_ID frames.
This was the case for curl which does not announce any
"active_connection_id_limit" parameter.
Also rename ->idle_timeout to ->max_idle_timeout to reflect the RFC9000.
These salts are used to derive initial secrets to decrypt the first Initial packet.
We support draft-29 and v1 QUIC version initial salts.
Add parameters to our QUIC-TLS API functions used to derive these secret for
these salts.
Make our xprt_quic use the correct initial salt upon QUIC version field found in
the first paquet. Useful to support connections with curl which use draft-29
QUIC version.
Move the "ACK required" bit from the packet number space to the connection level.
Force the "ACK required" option when acknowlegding Handshake or Initial packet.
A client may send three packets with a different encryption level for each. So,
this patch modifies qc_treat_rx_pkts() to consider two encryption level passed
as parameters, in place of only one.
Make qc_conn_io_cb() restart its process after the handshake has succeeded
so that to process any Application level packets which have already been received
in the same datagram as the last CRYPTO frames in Handshake packets.
Make qc_prep_hdshk_pkts() and qui_conn_io_cb() handle the case
where we enter them with QUIC_HS_ST_COMPLETE or QUIC_HS_ST_CONFIRMED
as connection state with QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_APP and QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_NONE
to consider to prepare packets.
quic_get_tls_enc_levels() is modified to return QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_APP
and QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_NONE as levels to consider when coalescing
packets in the same datagram.
qc_build_pkt() has recently been modified to support any type of
supported frame at any encryption level (assuming that an encryption level does
not support any type of frame) but quic_tls_level_pkt_type()
prevented it from building application level packet type because it was written
only for the handshake.
This patch simply adds the remaining encryption level QUIC_TLS_ENC_LEVEL_APP
which must be supported by quic_tls_level_pkt_type().
This should be used by the function which build packets to prevent
it from failing. This is important when the packet numbers are consumed
by several threads. The packet number is used to build and encrypt packets
and must be incremented only and only if the packet it refers to has been
successfully built.
These structures are similar. quic_tx_frm was there to try to reduce the
size of such objects which embed a union for all the QUIC frames.
Furtheremore this patch fixes the issue where quic_tx_frm objects were freed
from the pool for quic_frame.
Make quic_rx_packet_ref(inc|dec)() functions be thread safe.
Make use of ->rx.crypto.frms_rwlock RW lock when manipulating RX frames
from qc_treat_rx_crypto_frms().
Modify atomically several variables attached to RX part of quic_enc_level struct.
->rx.crypto member of quic_enc_level struct was not initialized as
this was done for all other members of this structure. This patch
fixes this.
Also adds a RW lock for the frame of this member.
Add two functions to encrement or decrement a referenc counter
attached to TX packet structure (struct quic_tx_packet). The packet are freed
when their counters reach the null value.
We use only ring buffers (struct qring) to prepare and send QUIC datagrams.
We can safely remove the old buffering implementation which was not thread safe.
We modify the functions responsible of building packets to put these latters
in ring buffers (qc_build_hdshk_pkt() during the handshake step, and
qc_build_phdshk_apkt() during the post-handshake step). These functions
remove a ring buffer from its list to build as much as possible datagrams.
Eache datagram is prepended of two field: the datagram length and the
first packet in the datagram. We chain the packets belonging to the same datagram
in a singly linked list to reach them from the first one: indeed we must
modify some members of each packet when we really send them from send_ppkts().
This function is also modified to retrieved the datagram from ring buffers.
We initialize the pointer to the listener TX ring buffer list.
Note that this is not done for QUIC clients as we do not fully support them:
we only have to allocate the list and attach it to server struct I guess.
We allocate an array of QUIC ring buffer, one by thread, and arranges them in a
MT_LIST. Everything is allocated or nothing: we do not want to usse an incomplete
array of ring buffers to ensure that each thread may safely acquire one of these
buffers.
This implementation is inspired from Linux kernel circular buffer implementation
(see include/linux/circ-buf.h). Such buffers may be used at the same time both
by writer and reader (lock-free).
Modify the I/O dgram handler principal function used to parse QUIC packets
be thread safe. Its role is at least to create new incoming connections
add to two trees protected by the same RW lock. The packets are for now on
fully parsed before possibly creating new connections.
Move the connection state from quic_conn_ctx struct to quic_conn struct which
is the structure which is used to store the QUIC connection part information.
This structure is initialized by the I/O dgram handler for each new connection
to QUIC listeners. This is needed for the multithread support so that to not
to have to depend on the connection context potentially initialized by another
thread.
We must protect from concurrent the tree which stores the QUIC packets received
by the dgram I/O handler, these packets being also parsed by the xprt task.
Make depends qc_new_isecs() only on quic_conn struct initialization only (no more
dependency on connection struct initialization) to be able to run it as soon as
the quic_conn struct is initialized (from the I/O handler) before running ->accept()
quic proto callback.
Move the QUIC conn (struct quic_conn) initialization from quic_sock_accept_conn()
to qc_lstnr_pkt_rcv() as this is done for the server part.
Move the timer initialization to ->start xprt callback to ensure the connection
context is done : it is initialized by the ->accept callback which may be run
by another thread than the one for the I/O handler which also run ->start.
The name the maximum packet size transport parameter was ambiguous and replaced
by maximum UDP payload size. Our code would be also ambiguous if it does not
reflect this change.
This function calls quic_mux_transport_params_update() to update the related
streams transport parameter of the mux. It is there only so that not to have
to include mux_quic.h to update these parameters.
Add a new structure to store enough information about STREAM frames which
must be stored before being delivered to the application layer, for any
reason.
The flow control at stream level is organized by types (client bidi, server bidi,
client uni, server uni). Adds at least callback to retrieve the number
of available streams by direction.
This file has been derived from mux_h2.c removing all h2 parts. At
QUIC mux layer, there must not be any reference to http. This will be the
responsability of the application layer (h3) to open streams handled by the mux.
We move ->params transport parameters to ->rx.params. They are the
transport parameters which will be sent to the peer, and used for
the endpoint flow control. So, they will be used to received packets
from the peer (RX part).
Also move ->rx_tps transport parameters to ->tx.params. They are the
transport parameter which are sent by the peer, and used to respect
its flow control limits. So, they will be used when sending packets
to the peer (TX part).
appctx_new() is exclusively called with tid_bit and it only uses the
mask to pass it to the accompanying task. There is no point requiring
the caller to know about a mask there, nor is there any point in
creating an applet outside of the context of its own thread anyway.
Let's drop this and pass tid_bit to task_new() directly.
A new warning is reported by gcc11 when using a pointer to uninitialized
memory block for a function with a const pointer argument. The warning
is triggered for istalloc, used by http_client.c / proxy.c / tcpcheck.c.
This warning is reported because the uninitialized memory block
allocated by malloc should not be passed to a const argument as in ist2.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-11.1.0/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wmaybe-uninitialized
This should be backported up to 2.2.
Ilya reported in issue #1391 a build warning on Fedora about mallinfo()
being deprecated in favor of mallinfo2() since glibc-2.33. Let's add
support for it. This should be backported where the following commit is
also backported: 157e39303 ("MINOR: pools: automatically disable
malloc_trim() with external allocators").
"f(void)" is the correct and preferred form for a function taking no
argument, while some places use the older "f()". These were reported
by clang's -Wmissing-prototypes, for example:
src/cpuset.c:111:5: warning: no previous prototype for function 'ha_cpuset_size' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

include/haproxy/cpuset.h:42:5: note: this declaration is not a prototype; add 'void' to make it a prototype for a zero-parameter function
int ha_cpuset_size();
^
void
This aggregate patch fixes this for the following functions:
ha_backtrace_to_stderr(), ha_cpuset_size(), ha_panic(), ha_random64(),
ha_thread_dump_all_to_trash(), get_exec_path(), check_config_validity(),
mworker_child_nb(), mworker_cli_proxy_(create|stop)(),

-Wundef triggered on a MIPS-based musl build on __WORDSIZE that's used
in ultoa_o() and some Lua initialization. The former will fail to convert
integers larger to 1 billion to proper string in this case. Let's make
sure this macro is defined and fall back to values determined from
__SIZEOF_LONG__ otherwise. A cleaner long-term approach would consist
in removing all remaining occurrences of this macro.
This can be backported to all versions.
Building with an old musl-based toolchain reported this warning:
include/haproxy/thread.h: In function 'ha_thread_relax':
include/haproxy/thread.h:256:5: warning: "_POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING" is not defined [-Wundef]

^
There were indeed two "#if" insteadd of #ifdef" for this macro, let's
fix them.
When the header list is added, after the message parsing, headers with no
value are now ignored. It is not the same than headers with empty value
fields. Only headers with a NULL pointer as value are skipped. This only
happens if the header value is removed during the message
parsing. Concretly, such headers are now ignored when htx_add_all_headers()
is called. However, htx_add_header() is not affected by this change.
Symetrically, the same is true for trailers. It may be backported to 2.4
because of the previous fix ("BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h1: Remove "Upgrade:" header
for requests with payload").
There's no point taking the variables locks for sess/txn/req/res
contexts since these ones always run inside the same thread anyway.
This patch conditions the lock on the variable's scope to avoid
flushing cache lines when not needed.
This showed an improvement of ~5% on a 16-thread machine with 12
variables.
The global table of known variables names can only grow and was designed
for static names that are registered at boot. Nowadays it's possible to
set dynamic variable names from Lua or from the CLI, which causes a real
problem that was partially addressed in 2.2 with commit 4e172c93f
("MEDIUM: lua: Add `ifexist` parameter to `set_var`"). Please see github
issue #624 for more context.
This patch simplifies all this by removing the need for a central
registry of known names, and storing 64-bit hashes instead. This is
highly sufficient given the low number of variables in each context.
The hash is calculated using XXH64() which is bijective over the 64-bit
space thus is guaranteed collision-free for 1..8 chars. Above that the
risk remains around 1/2^64 per extra 8 chars so in practice this is
highly sufficient for our usage. A random seed is used at boot to seed
the hash so that it's not attackable from Lua for example.
There's one particular nit though. The "ifexist" hack mentioned above
is now limited to variables of scope "proc" only, and will only match
variables that were already created or declared, but will now verify
the scope as well. This may affect some bogus Lua scripts and SPOE
agents which used to accidentally work because a similarly named
variable used to exist in a different scope. These ones may need to be
fixed to comply with the doc.
Now we can sum up the situation as this one:
- ephemeral variables (scopes sess, txn, req, res) will always be
usable, regardless of any prior declaration. This effectively
addresses the most problematic change from the commit above that
in order to work well could have required some script auditing ;
- process-wide variables (scope proc) that are mentioned in the
configuration, referenced in a "register-var-names" SPOE directive,
or created via "set-var" in the global section or the CLI, are
permanent and will always accept to be set, with or without the
"ifexist" restriction (SPOE uses this internally as well).
- process-wide variables (scope proc) that are only created via a
set-var() tcp/http action, via Lua's set_var() calls, or via an
SPOE with the "force-set-var" directive), will not be permanent
but will always accept to be replaced once they are created, even
if "ifexist" is present
- process-wide variables (scope proc) that do not exist will only
support being created via the set-var() tcp/http action, Lua's
set_var() calls without "ifexist", or an SPOE declared with
"force-set-var".
This means that non-proc variables do not care about "ifexist" nor
prior declaration, and that using "ifexist" should most often be
reliable in Lua and that SPOE should most often work without any
prior declaration. It may be doable to turn "ifexist" to 1 by default
in Lua to further ease the transition. Note: regtests were adjusted.

We certainly do not want that a permanent variable (one that is listed
in the configuration) be erased by accident by an "unset-var" action.
Let's make sure these ones are only reset to an empty sample, like at
the moment of their initial registration. One trick is that the same
function is used to purge the memory at the end and to delete, so we
need to add an extra "force" argument to make the choice.
In order to continue to honor the ifexist Lua option and prevent rogue
SPOA agents from creating too many variables, we'll need to keep the
ability to mark certain proc.* variables as permanent when they're
known from the config file.
Let's add a flag there for this. It's added to the variable when the
variable is created with this flag set by the caller.
Another approach could have been to use a distinct list or distinct
scope but that sounds complicated and bug-prone.
Passing this flag to var_set() will result in the variable to only be
created if it did not exist, otherwise nothing is done (it's not even
updated). This will be used for pre-registering names.
When setting variables, there are currently two variants, one which will
always create the variable, and another one, "ifexist", which will only
create or update a variable if a similarly named variable in any scope
already existed before.
The goal was to limit the risk of injecting random names in the proc
scope, but it was achieved by making use of the somewhat limited name
indexing model, which explains the scope-agnostic restriction.
With this change, we're moving the check downwards in the chain, at the
variable level, and only variables under the scope "proc" will be subject
to the restriction. A new set of VF_* flags was added to adjust how
variables are set, and VF_UPDATEONLY is used to mention this restriction.
In this exact state of affairs, this is not completely exact, as if a
similar name was not known in any scope, the variable will continue to
be rejected like before, but this will change soon.
The vars_init() name is particularly confusing as it does not initialize
the variables code but the head of a list of variables passed in
arguments. And we'll soon need to have proper initialization code, so
let's rename it now.
In ticket #1348 some users expressed some concerns regarding the removal
of the "grace" directive from the proxies. Their use case very closely
mimmicks the original intent of the grace keyword, which is, let haproxy
accept traffic for some time when stopping, while indicating an external
LB that it's stopping.
This is implemented here by starting a task whose expiration triggers
the soft-stop for real. The global "stopping" variable is immediately
set however. For example, this below will be sufficient to instantly
notify an external check on port 9999 that the service is going down,
while other services remain active for 10s:
global
grace 10s
frontend ext-check
bind :9999
monitor-uri /ext-check
monitor fail if { stopping }
Ori Hollander of JFrog Security reported that htx_add_header() and
htx_add_trailer() were missing a length check on the header name. While
this does not allow to overwrite any memory area, it results in bits of
the header name length to slip into the header value length and may
result in forging certain header names on the input. The sad thing here
is that a FIXME comment was present suggesting to add the required length
checks :-(
The injected headers are visible to the HTTP internals and to the config
rules, so haproxy will generally stay synchronized with the server. But
there is one exception which is the content-length header field, because
it is already deduplicated on the input, but before being indexed. As
such, injecting a content-length header after the deduplication stage
may be abused to present a different, shorter one on the other side and
help build a request smuggling attack, or even maybe a response splitting
attack. CVE-2021-40346 was assigned to this problem.
As a mitigation measure, it is sufficient to verify that no more than
one such header is present in any message, which is normally the case
thanks to the duplicate checks:
http-request deny if { req.hdr_cnt(content-length) gt 1 }
http-response deny if { res.hdr_cnt(content-length) gt 1 }
This must be backported to all HTX-enabled versions, hence as far as 2.0.
In 2.3 and earlier, the functions are in src/htx.c instead.
Many thanks to Ori for his work and his responsible report!
Since commit "BUG/MINOR: config: reject configs using HTTP with bufsize
>= 256 MB" we are now sure that it's not possible anymore to have an HTX
block of a size 256 MB or more, even after concatenation thanks to the
tests for len >= htx_free_data_space(). Let's remove these now obsolete
comments.
A BUG_ON() was added in htx_add_blk() to track any such exception if
the conditions would change later, to complete the one that is performed
on the start address that must remain within the buffer.
In preparation for support default values when fetching variables, we
need to update the internal API to pass an extra argument to functions
vars_get_by_{name,desc} to provide an optional default value. This
patch does this and always passes NULL in this argument. var_to_smp()
was extended to fall back to this value when available.
The set-var() action is convenient because it preserves the input type
but it's a pain to deal with when trying to concatenate values. The
most recurring example is when it's needed to build a variable composed
of the source address and the source port. Usually it ends up like this:
tcp-request session set-var(sess.port) src_port
tcp-request session set-var(sess.addr) src,concat(":",sess.port)
This is even worse when trying to aggregate multiple fields from stick-table
data for example. Due to this a lot of users instead abuse headers from HTTP
rules:
http-request set-header(x-addr) %[src]:%[src_port]
But this requires some careful cleanups to make sure they won't leak, and
it's significantly more expensive to deal with. And generally speaking it's
not clean. Plus it must be performed for each and every request, which is
expensive for this common case of ip+port that doesn't change for the whole
session.
This patch addresses this limitation by implementing a new "set-var-fmt"
action which performs the same work as "set-var" but takes a format string
in argument instead of an expression. This way it becomes pretty simple to
just write:
tcp-request session set-var-fmt(sess.addr) %[src]:%[src_port]
It is usable in all rulesets that already support the "set-var" action.
It is not yet implemented for the global "set-var" directive (which already
takes a string) and the CLI's "set var" command, which would definitely
benefit from it but currently uses its own parser and engine, thus it
must be reworked.
The doc and regtests were updated.
For a long time we couldn't have arguments in expressions used in
tcp-request, tcp-response etc rules. But now due to the variables
it's possible, and their context in case of failure to resolve an
argument (e.g. backend name not found) is not properly reported
because there is no arg context values in ARGC_* to report them.
Let's add a number of missing ones for tcp-request {connection,
session,content}, tcp-response content, tcp-check, the config
parser (for "set-var" in the global section) and the CLI parser
(for "set-var" on the CLI).
Sometimes it is convenient to remap large sets of URIs to new ones (e.g.
after a site migration for example). This can be achieved using
"http-request redirect" combined with maps, but one difficulty there is
that non-matching entries will return an empty response. In order to
avoid this, duplicating the operation as an ACL condition ending in
"-m found" is possible but it becomes complex and error-prone while it's
known that an empty URL is not valid in a location header.
This patch addresses this by improving the redirect rules to be able to
simply ignore the rule and skip to the next one if the result of the
evaluation of the "location" expression is empty. However in order not
to break existing setups, it requires a new "ignore-empty" keyword.
There used to be an ACT_FLAG_FINAL on redirect rules that's used during
the parsing to emit a warning if followed by another rule, so here we
only set it if the option is not there. The http_apply_redirect_rule()
function now returns a 3rd value to mention that it did nothing and
that this was not an error, so that callers can just ignore the rule.
The regular "redirect" rules were not modified however since this does
not apply there.
The map_redirect VTC was completed with such a test and updated to 2.5
and an example was added into the documentation.
The locking in the dequeuing process was significantly improved by commit
49667c14b ("MEDIUM: queue: take the proxy lock only during the px queue
accesses") in that it tries hard to limit the time during which the
proxy's queue lock is held to the strict minimum. Unfortunately it's not
enough anymore, because we take up the task and manipulate a few pendconn
elements after releasing the proxy's lock (while we're under the server's
lock) but the task will not necessarily hold the server lock since it may
not have successfully found one (e.g. timeout in the backend queue). As
such, stream_free() calling pendconn_free() may release the pendconn
immediately after the proxy's lock is released while the other thread
currently proceeding with the dequeuing tries to wake up the owner's
task and dies in task_wakeup().
One solution consists in releasing le proxy's lock later. But tests have
shown that we'd have to sacrifice a significant share of the performance
gained with the patch above (roughly a 20% loss).
This patch takes another approach. It adds a "del_lock" to each pendconn
struct, that allows to keep it referenced while the proxy's lock is being
released. It's mostly a serialization lock like a refcount, just to maintain
the pendconn alive till the task_wakeup() call is complete. This way we can
continue to release the proxy's lock early while keeping this one. It had
to be added to the few points where we're about to free a pendconn, namely
in pendconn_dequeue() and pendconn_unlink(). This way we continue to
release the proxy's lock very early and there is no performance degradation.
This lock may only be held under the queue's lock to prevent lock
inversion.
No backport is needed since the patch above was merged in 2.5-dev only.
This option can be used to define a specific log format that will be
used in case of error, timeout, connection failure on a frontend... It
will be used for any log line concerned by the log-separate-errors
option. It will also replace the format of specific error messages
decribed in section 8.2.6.
If no "error-log-format" is defined, the legacy error messages are still
emitted and the other error logs keep using the regular log-format.
Other build warnings were emitted on LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER with -Wundef
under openssl < 1.1. Related to GH issue #1369. Seems like some of them
could be simplified a little bit.
Openssl-compat emits a warning for the test on LIBRESSL_VERSION that might
be underfined, if built with -Wundef. The fix is easy, let's do it. Related
to GH issue #1369.
As reported in GH issue #1369, there is a single case of #if with a
possibly undefined value in defaults.h which is on MAXHOSTNAMELEN. Let's
turn it to a #ifdef.
The code used to rely on BITS_PER_LONG to decide on the most efficient
way to perform a 64-bit shift, but this macro is not defined (at best
it's __BITS_PER_LONG) and it's likely that it's been like this since
the early implementation of ebtrees designed on i386. Let's remove the
test on this macro and rely on sizeof(long) instead, it also has the
benefit of letting the compiler validate the two branches.
This can be backported to all versions. Thanks to Ezequiel Garcia for
reporting this one in issue #1369.
Before threads were introduced in 1.8, idle_pct used to be a global
variable indicating the overall process idle time. Threads made it
thread-local, meaning that its reporting in the stats made little
sense, though this was not easy to spot. In 2.0, the idle_pct variable
moved to the struct thread_info via commit 81036f273 ("MINOR: time:
move the cpu, mono, and idle time to thread_info"). It made it more
obvious that the idle_pct was per thread, and also allowed to more
accurately measure it. But no more effort was made in that direction.
This patch introduces a new report_idle() function that accurately
averages the per-thread idle time over all running threads (i.e. it
should remain valid even if some threads are paused or stopped), and
makes use of it in the stats / "show info" reports.
Sending traffic over only two connections of an 8-thread process
would previously show this erratic CPU usage pattern:
$ while :; do socat /tmp/sock1 - <<< "show info"|grep ^Idle;sleep 0.1;done
Idle_pct: 30
Idle_pct: 35
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 35
Idle_pct: 33
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Idle_pct: 100
Now it shows this more accurate measurement:
$ while :; do socat /tmp/sock1 - <<< "show info"|grep ^Idle;sleep 0.1;done
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
Idle_pct: 83
This is not technically a bug but this lack of precision definitely affects
some users who rely on the idle_pct measurement. This should at least be
backported to 2.4, and might be to some older releases depending on users
demand.
In 2.4 we extended the max poll time from 1s to 60s with commit
4f59d3861 ("MINOR: time: increase the minimum wakeup interval to 60s").
This had the consequence that the calculation of the idle time percentage
may overflow during the multiply by 100 if the thread had slept 43s or
more. Let's change this to a 64 bit computation. This will have no
performance impact since this is done at most twice per second.
This should fix github issue #1366.
This must be backported to 2.4.
To be able to provide JA3 compatible TLS Fingerprints we need to expose

- ssl_fc_eclist_bin
- ssl_fc_extlist_bin
- ssl_fc_protocol_hello_id
When we set tune.ssl.capture-cipherlist-size to a non-zero value
we are able to capture cipherlist supported by the client. To be able to
provide JA3 compatible TLS fingerprinting we need to capture more
information from Client Hello message:
- SSL Version
- SSL Extensions
- Elliptic Curves
- Elliptic Curve Point Formats
This patch allows HAProxy to capture such information and store it for
later use.
There are regularly places, especially in config analysis, where we
need to report certain things (warnings or errors) only once, but
where implementing a counter is sufficiently deterrent so that it's
not done.
Let's add a simple ONLY_ONCE() macro that implements a static variable
(char) which is atomically turned on, and returns true if it's set for
the first time. This uses fairly compact code, a single byte of BSS
and is thread-safe. There are probably a number of places in the config
parser where this could be used. It may also be used to implement a
WARN_ON() similar to BUG_ON() but which would only warn once.
Define a flag to mark a server as non purgeable. This flag will be used
for "delete server" CLI handler. All servers without this flag will be
eligible to runtime suppression.
In a future patch, it will be possible to remove at runtime every
servers, both static and dynamic. This requires to extend the server
refcount for all instances.
First, refcount manipulation functions have been renamed to better
express the API usage.
* srv_refcount_use -> srv_take
The refcount is always initialize to 1 on the server creation in
new_server. It's also incremented for each check/agent configured on a
server instance.
* free_server -> srv_drop
This decrements the refcount and if null, the server is freed, so code
calling it must not use the server reference after it. As a bonus, this
function now returns the next server instance. This is useful when
calling on the server loop without having to save the next pointer
before each invocation.
In these functions, remove the checks that prevent refcount on
non-dynamic servers. Each reference to "dynamic" in variable/function
naming have been eliminated as well.
A dynamic server may be deleted at runtime at the same moment when the
stats applet is pointing to it. Use the server refcount to prevent
deletion in this case.
This should be backported up to 2.4, with an observability period of 2
weeks. Note that it requires the dynamic server refcounting feature
which has been implemented on 2.5; the following commits are required :
- MINOR: server: implement a refcount for dynamic servers
- BUG/MINOR: server: do not use refcount in free_server in stopping mode
- MINOR: server: return the next srv instance on free_server
As a convenience, return the next server instance from servers list on
free_server.
This is particularily useful when using this function on the servers
list without having to save of the next pointer before calling it.
Implements a way of checking the running openssl version:
If the OpenSSL support was not compiled within HAProxy it will returns a
error, so it's recommanded to do a SSL feature check before:
$ ./haproxy -cc 'feature(OPENSSL) && openssl_version_atleast(0.9.8zh) && openssl_version_before(3.0.0)'
This will allow to select the SSL reg-tests more carefully.
Include the correct .h files in http_client.c and http_client.h.
The api.h is needed in http_client.c and http_client-t.h is now include
directly from http_client.h
The X509_STORE_CTX_get0_cert did not exist yet on OpenSSL 1.0.2 and
neither did X509_STORE_CTX_get0_chain, which was not actually needed
since its get1 equivalent already existed.
Most of the SSL sample fetches related to the client certificate were
based on the SSL_get_peer_certificate function which returns NULL when
the verification process failed. This made it impossible to use those
fetches in a log format since they would always be empty.
The patch adds a reference to the X509 object representing the client
certificate in the SSL structure and makes use of this reference in the
fetches.
The reference can only be obtained in ssl_sock_bind_verifycbk which
means that in case of an SSL error occurring before the verification
process ("no shared cipher" for instance, which happens while processing
the Client Hello), we won't ever start the verification process and it
will be impossible to get information about the client certificate.
This patch also allows most of the ssl_c_XXX fetches to return a usable
value in case of connection failure (because of a verification error for
instance) by making the "conn->flags & CO_FL_WAIT_XPRT" test (which
requires a connection to be established) less strict.
Thanks to this patch, a log-format such as the following should return
usable information in case of an error occurring during the verification
process :
log-format "DN=%{+Q}[ssl_c_s_dn] serial=%[ssl_c_serial,hex] \
hash=%[ssl_c_sha1,hex]"
It should answer to GitHub issue #693.
This commit implements a very simple HTTP Client API.
A client can be operated by several functions:
- httpclient_new(), httpclient_destroy(): create
and destroy the struct httpclient instance.
- httpclient_req_gen(): generate a complete HTX request using the
the absolute URL, the method and a list of headers. This request
is complete and sets the HTX End of Message flag. This is limited
to small request we don't need a body.
- httpclient_start() fill a sockaddr storage with a IP extracted
from the URL (it cannot resolve an fqdm for now), start the
applet. It also stores the ptr of the caller which could be an
appctx or something else.
- hc->ops contains a list of callbacks used by the
HTTPClient, they should be filled manually after an
httpclient_new():
* res_stline(): the client received a start line, its content
will be stored in hc->res.vsn, hc->res.status, hc->res.reason
* res_headers(): the client received headers, they are stored in
hc->res.hdrs.
* res_payload(): the client received some payload data, they are
stored in the hc->res.buf buffer and could be extracted with the
httpclient_res_xfer() function, which takes a destination buffer
as a parameter
* res_end(): this callback is called once we finished to receive
the response.
While http_parse_scheme() extracts a scheme from a URI by extracting
exactly the valid characters and stopping on delimiters, this new
function performs the same on a fixed-size string.
This new class exposes methods to manipulate HTTP messages from a filter
written in lua. Like for the HTTP class, there is a bunch of methods to
manipulate the message headers. But there are also methods to manipulate the
message payload. This part is similar to what is available in the Channel
class. Thus the payload can be duplicated, erased, modified or
forwarded. For now, only DATA blocks can be retrieved and modified because
the current API is limited. No HTTPMessage method is able to yield. Those
manipulating the headers are always called on messages containing all the
headers, so there is no reason to yield. Those manipulating the payload are
called from the http_payload filters callback function where yielding is
forbidden.
When an HTTPMessage object is instantiated, the underlying Channel object
can be retrieved via the ".channel" field.
For now this class is not used because the HTTP filtering is not supported
yet. It will be the purpose of another commit.
There is no documentation for now.
A lua TXN can be created when a sample fetch, an action or a filter callback
function is executed. A flag is now used to track the execute context.
Respectively, HLUA_TXN_SMP_CTX, HLUA_TXN_ACT_CTX and HLUA_TXN_FLT_CTX. The
filter flag is not used for now.
When a script is executed, a flag is used to allow it to yield. An error is
returned if a lua function yield, explicitly or not. But there is no way to
get this capability in C functions. So there is no way to choose to yield or
not depending on this capability.
To fill this gap, the flag HLUA_NOYIELD is introduced and added on the lua
context if the current script execution is not authorized to yield. Macros
to set, clear and test this flags are also added.
This feature will be usefull to fix some bugs in lua actions execution.
Implement a mechanism to free a started check on runtime for dynamic
servers. A new function check_purge is created for this. The check task
will be marked for deletion and scheduled to properly close connection
elements and free the task/tasklet/buf_wait elements.
This function will be useful to delete a dynamic server wich checks.
It is necessary to have a refcount mechanism on dynamic servers to be
able to enable check support. Indeed, when deleting a dynamic server
with check activated, the check will be asynchronously removed. This is
mandatory to properly free the check resources in a thread-safe manner.
The server instance must be kept alive for this.
Remove static qualifier on init_srv_check, init_srv_agent_check and
start_check_task. These functions will be called in server.c for dynamic
servers with checks.
Implement an equivalent of task_kill for tasklets. This function can be
used to request a tasklet deletion in a thread-safe way.
Currently this function is unused.
There was no way to access the SPOE filter configuration from the agent
object. However it could be handy to have it. And in fact, this will be
required to fix a bug.
Right now we're using a DWCAS to atomically set the running_mask while
being constrained by the thread_mask. This DWCAS is annoying because we
may seriously need it later when adding support for thread groups, for
checking that the running_mask applies to the correct group.
It turns out that the DWCAS is not strictly necessary because we never
need it to set the thread_mask based on the running_mask, only the other
way around. And in fact, the running_mask is always cleared alone, and
the thread_mask is changed alone as well. The running_mask is only
relevant to indicate a takeover when the thread_mask matches it. Any
bit set in running and not present in thread_mask indicates a transition
in progress.
As such, it is possible to re-arrange this by using a regular CAS around a
consistency check between running_mask and thread_mask in fd_update_events
and by making a CAS on running_mask then an atomic store on the thread_mask
in fd_takeover(). The only other case is fd_delete() but that one already
sets the running_mask before clearing the thread_mask, which is compatible
with the consistency check above.
This change has happily survived 10 billion takeovers on a 16-thread
machine at 800k requests/s.
The fd-migration doc was updated to reflect this change.
This one is set whenever an FD is reported by a poller with a null owner,
regardless of the thread_mask. It has become totally meaningless because
it only indicates a migrated FD that was not yet reassigned to a thread,
but as soon as a thread uses it, the status will change to skip_fd. Thus
there is no reason to distinguish between the two, it adds more confusion
than it helps. Let's simply drop it.
The current principle of running under isolation was made to access
sensitive data while being certain that no other thread was using them
in parallel, without necessarily having to place locks everywhere. The
main use case are "show sess" and "show fd" which run over long chains
of pointers.
The thread_isolate() call relies on the "harmless" bit that indicates
for a given thread that it's not currently doing such sensitive things,
which is advertised using thread_harmless_now() and which ends usings
thread_harmless_end(), which also waits for possibly concurrent threads
to complete their work if they took this opportunity for starting
something tricky.
As some system calls were notoriously slow (e.g. mmap()), a bunch of
thread_harmless_now() / thread_harmless_end() were placed around them
to let waiting threads do their work while such other threads were not
able to modify memory contents.
But this is not sufficient for performing memory modifications. One such
example is the server deletion code. By modifying memory, it not only
requires that other threads are not playing with it, but are not either
in the process of touching it. The fact that a pool_alloc() or pool_free()
on some structure may call thread_harmless_now() and let another thread
start to release the same object's memory is not acceptable.
This patch introduces the concept of "idle threads". Threads entering
the polling loop are idle, as well as those that are waiting for all
others to become idle via the new function thread_isolate_full(). Once
thread_isolate_full() is granted, the thread is not idle anymore, and
it is released using thread_release() just like regular isolation. Its
users have to keep in mind that across this call nothing is granted as
another thread might have performed shared memory modifications. But
such users are extremely rare and are actually expecting this from their
peers as well.
Note that that in case of backport, this patch depends on previous patch:
MINOR: threads: make thread_release() not wait for other ones to complete
This patch splits the disabled state of a proxy into a PR_DISABLED and a
PR_STOPPED state.
The first one is set when the proxy is disabled in the configuration
file, and the second one is set upon a stop_proxy().
Rename the 'dontloglegacyconnerr' option to 'log-error-via-logformat'
which is much more self-explanatory and readable.
Note: only legacy keywords don't use hyphens, it is recommended to
separate words with them in new keywords.
The x86-tso model makes the load and store barriers unneeded for our
usage as long as they perform at least a compiler barrier: the CPU
will respect store ordering and store vs load ordering. It's thus
safe to remove the lfence and sfence which are normally needed only
to communicate with external devices. Let's keep the mfence though,
to make sure that reads of same memory location after writes report
the value from memory and not the one snooped from the write buffer
for too long.
An in-depth review of all use cases tends to indicate that this is
okay in the rest of the code. Some parts could be cleaned up to
use atomic stores and atomic loads instead of explicit barriers
though.
Doing this reliably increases the overall performance by about 2-2.5%
on a 8c-16t Xeon thanks to less frequent flushes (it's likely that the
biggest gain is in the MT lists which use them a lot, and that this
results in less cache line flushes).
The atomic_load/atomic_store/atomic_xchg operations were all forced to
__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST, which results in explicit store or even full barriers
even on x86-tso while we do not need them: we're not communicating with
external devices for example and are only interested in respecting the
proper ordering of loads and stores between each other.
These ones being rarely used, the emitted code on x86 remains almost the
same (barring a handful of locations). However they will allow to place
correct barriers at other places where atomics are accessed a bit lightly.
The patch is marked medium because we can never rule out the risk of some
bugs on more relaxed platforms due to the rest of the code.
update_freq_ctr_period() was using relaxed atomics without using barriers,
which usually works fine on x86 but not everywhere else. In addition, some
values were read without being enclosed by barriers, allowing the compiler
to possibly prefetch them a bit earlier. Finally, freq_ctr_total() was also
reading these without enough barriers. Let's make explicit use of atomic
loads and atomic stores to get rid of this situation. This required to
slightly rearrange the freq_ctr_total() loop, which could possibly slightly
improve performance under extreme contention by avoiding to reread all
fields.
A backport may be done to 2.4 if a problem is encountered, but last tests
on arm64 with LSE didn't show any issue so this can possibly stay as-is.
This function already performs a number of checks prior to calling the
IOCB, and detects the change of thread (FD migration). Half of the
controls are still in each poller, and these pollers also maintain
activity counters for various cases.
Note that the unreliable test on thread_mask was removed so that only
the one performed by fd_set_running() is now used, since this one is
reliable.
Let's centralize all that fd-specific logic into the function and make
it return a status among:
FD_UPDT_DONE, // update done, nothing else to be done
FD_UPDT_DEAD, // FD was already dead, ignore it
FD_UPDT_CLOSED, // FD was closed
FD_UPDT_MIGRATED, // FD was migrated, ignore it now
Some pollers already used to call it last and have nothing to do after
it, regardless of the result. epoll has to delete the FD in case a
migration is detected. Overall this removes more code than it adds.
Since 2.4 with commit f50906519 ("MEDIUM: fd: merge fdtab[].ev and state
for FD_EV_* and FD_POLL_* into state") we can merge all flag updates at
once in fd_update_events(). Previously this was performed in 1 to 3 steps,
setting the polling state, then setting READY_R if in/err/hup, and setting
READY_W if out/err. But since the commit above, all flags are stored
together in the same structure field that is being updated with the new
flags, thus we can simply update the flags altogether and avoid multiple
atomic operations. This even removes the need for atomic ops for FDs that
are not shared.
There's a theoretical race (that we failed to trigger) in function
fd_update_events(), which could strike on idle connections. The "locked"
variable will most often be 0 as the FD is bound to the current thread
only. Another thread could take it over once "locked" is set, change
the thread and running masks. Then the first thread updates the FD's
state non-atomically and possibly overwrites what the other thread was
preparing. It still looks like the FD's state will ultimately converge
though.
The solution against this is to set the running flag earlier so that a
takeover() attempt cannot succeed, or that the fd_set_running() attempt
fails, indicating that nothing needs to be done on this FD.
While this is sufficient for a simple fix to be backported, it leaves
the FD actively polled in the calling thread, this will trigger a second
wakeup which will notice the absence of tid_bit in the thread_mask,
getting rid of it.
A more elaborate solution would consist in calling fd_set_running()
directly from the pollers before calling fd_update_events(), getting
rid of the thread_mask test and letting the caller eliminate that FD
from its list if needed.
Interestingly, this code also proves to be suboptimal in that it sets
the FD state twice instead of calculating the new state at once and
always using a CAS to set it. This is a leftover of a simplification
that went into 2.4 and which should be explored in a future patch.
This may be backported as far as 2.2.
The takeover of idle conns between threads is particularly tricky, for
two reasons:
- there's no way to atomically synchronize kernel-side polling with
userspace activity, so late events will always be reported for some
FDs just migrated ;
- upon error, an FD may be immediately reassigned to whatever other
thread since it's process-wide.
The current model uses the FD's thread_mask to figure if an FD still
ought to be reported or not, and a per-thread idle connection queue
from which eligible connections are atomically added/picked. I/Os
coming from the bottom for such a connection must remove it from the
list so that it's not elected. Same for timeout tasks and iocbs. And
these last ones check their context under the idle_conn lock to judge
if they're still allowed to run.
One rare case was omitted: the wake() callback. This one is rare, it
may serve to notify about finalized connect() calls that are not being
polled, as well as unhandled shutdowns and errors. This callback was
not protected till now because it wasn't seen as sensitive, but there
exists a particular case where it may be called without protectoin in
parallel to a takeover. This happens in the following sequence:
- thread T1 wants to establish an outgoing connection
- the connect() call returns EINPROGRESS
- the poller adds it using epoll_ctl()
- epoll_wait() reports it, connect() is done. The connection is
not being marked as actively polled anymore but is still known
from the poller.
- the request is sent over that connection using send(), which
queues to system buffers while data are being delivered
- the scheduler switches to other tasks
- the request is physically sent
- the server responds
- the stream is notified that send() succeeded, and makes progress,
trying to recv() from that connection
- the recv() succeeds, the response is delivered
- the poller doesn't need to be touched (still no active polling)
- the scheduler switches to other tasks
- the server closes the connection
- the poller on T1 is notified of the SHUTR and starts to call mux->wake()
- another thread T2 takes over the connection
- T2 continues to run inside wake() and releases the connection
- T2 is just dereferencing it.
- BAM.
The most logical solution here is to surround the call to wake() with an
atomic removal/insert of the connection from/into the idle conns lists.
This way, wake() is guaranteed to run alone. Any other poller reporting
the FD will not have its tid_bit in the thread_mask si will not bother
it. Another thread trying a takeover will not find this connection. A
task or tasklet being woken up late will either be on the same thread,
or be called on another one with a NULL context since it will be the
consequence of previous successful takeover, and will be ignored. Note
that the extra cost of a lock and tree access here have a low overhead
which is totally amortized given that these ones roughly happen 1-2
times per connection at best.
While it was possible to crash the process after 10-100k req using H2
and a hand-refined configuration achieving perfect synchronism between
a long (20+) chain of proxies and a short timeout (1ms), now with that
fix this never happens even after 10M requests.
Many thanks to Olivier for proposing this solution and explaining why
it works.
This should be backported as far as 2.2 (when inter-thread takeover was
introduced). The code in older versions will be found in conn_fd_handler().
A workaround consists in disabling inter-thread pool sharing using:
tune.idle-pool.shared off
In case of connection failure, a dedicated error message is output,
following the format described in section "Error log format" of the
documentation. These messages cannot be configured through a log-format
option.
This patch adds a new option, "dontloglegacyconnerr", that disables
those error logs when set, and "replaces" them by a regular log line
that follows the configured log-format (thanks to a call to sess_log in
session_kill_embryonic).
The new fc_conn_err sample fetch allows to add the legacy error log
information into a regular log format.
This new option is unset by default so the logging logic will remain the
same until this new option is used.
This new sample fetch along the ssl_fc_hsk_err_str fetch contain the
last SSL error of the error stack that occurred during the SSL
handshake (from the frontend's perspective). The errors happening during
the client's certificate verification will still be given by the
ssl_c_err and ssl_c_ca_err fetches. This new fetch will only hold errors
retrieved by the OpenSSL ERR_get_error function.
The fc_conn_err and fc_conn_err_str sample fetches give information
about the problem that made the connection fail. This information would
previously only have been given by the error log messages meaning that
thanks to these fetches, the error log can now be included in a custom
log format. The log strings were all found in the conn_err_code_str
function.
The CO_ER_SSL_EARLY_FAILED and CO_ER_CIP_TIMEOUT connection error codes
were missing in the conn_err_code_str switch which converts the error
codes into string.
This patch can be backported on all stable branches.
This patch renames the proxy capability "LUA" to "INT" so it could be
used for any internal proxy.
Every proxy that are not user defined should use this flag.
Oss-fuzz reports in issue 36328 that we can recurse too far by passing
extremely deep expressions to the ".if" parser. I thought we were still
limited to the 1024 chars per line, that would be highly sufficient, but
we don't have any limit now :-/
Let's just pass a maximum recursion counter to the recursive parsers.
It's decremented for each call and the expression fails if it reaches
zero. On the most complex paths it can add 3 levels per parenthesis,
so with a limit of 1024, that's roughly 343 nested sub-expressions that
are supported in the worst case. That's more than sufficient, for just
a few kB of RAM.
No backport is needed.
This option had always been broken in HTX, which means that the first
breakage appeared in 1.9, that it was broken by default in 2.0 and that
no workaround existed starting with 2.1. The way this option works is
praticularly unfit to the rest of the configuration and to the internal
architecture. It had some uses when it was introduced 14 years ago but
nowadays it's possible to do much better and more reliable using a
set of "http-request set-dst" and "http-request set-uri" rules, which
additionally are compatible with DNS resolution (via do-resolve) and
are not exclusive to normal load balancing. The "option-http_proxy"
example config file was updated to reflect this.
The option is still parsed so that an error message gives hints about
what to look for.
The cfg_free_cond_{term,and,expr}() functions used to take a pointer to
the pointer to be freed in order to replace it with a NULL once done.
But this doesn't cope well with freeing lists as it would require
recursion which the current code tried to avoid.
Let's just change the API to free the area and let the caller set the NULL.
This leak was reported by oss-fuzz (issue 36265).
Now it's possible to form a term using parenthesis around an expression.
This will soon allow to build more complex expressions. For now they're
still pretty limited but parenthesis do work.
Now evaluating a condition will rely on an expression (or an empty string),
and this expression will support ORing a sub-expression with another
optional expression. The sub-expressions ANDs a term with another optional
sub-expression. With this alone precedence between && and || is respected,
and the following expression:
A && B && C || D || E && F || G
will naturally evaluate as:
(A && B && C) || D || (E && F) || G
It's not convenient to let the caller be responsible for node allocation,
better have the leaf function do that and implement the accompanying free
call. Now only a pointer is needed instead of a struct, and the leaf
function makes sure to leave the situation in a consistent way.
The purpose is to build a descendent parser that will split conditions
into expressions made of terms. There are two phases, a parsing phase
and an evaluation phase. Strictly speaking it's not required to cut
that in two right now, but it's likely that in the future we won't want
certain predicates to be evaluated during the parsing (e.g. file system
checks or execution of some external commands).
The cfg_eval_condition() function is now much simpler, it just tries to
parse a single term, and if OK evaluates it, then returns the result.
Errors are unchanged and may still be reported during parsing or
evaluation.
It's worth noting that some invalid expressions such as streq(a,b)zzz
continue to parse correctly for now (what remains after the parenthesis
is simply ignored as not necessary).
The .if/.else/.endif and condition evaluation code is quite dirty and
was dumped into cfgparse.c because it was easy. But it should be tidied
quite a bit as it will need to evolve.
Let's move all that to cfgcond.{c,h}.
make_arg_list() can create an array of arguments, some of which remain
to be resolved, but all users had to deal with their own roll back on
error. Let's add a free_args() function to release all the array's
elements and let the caller deal with the array itself (sometimes it's
allocated in the stack).
Since 1.9 with commit 673867c35 ("MAJOR: applets: Use tasks, instead
of rolling our own scheduler.") the thread_mask field of the appctx
became unused, but the code hadn't been cleaned for this. The appctx
has its own task and the task's thread_mask is the one to be displayed.
It's worth noting that all calls to appctx_new() pass tid_bit as the
thread_mask. This makes sense, and it could be convenient to decide
that this becomes the norm and to simplify the API.
Define a new global config statement named
"h2-workaround-bogus-websocket-clients".
This statement will disable the automatic announce of h2 websocket
support as specified in the RFC8441. This can be use to overcome clients
which fail to implement the relatively fresh RFC8441. Clients will in
his case automatically downgrade to http/1.1 for the websocket tunnel
if the haproxy configuration allows it.
This feature is relatively simple and can be backported up to 2.4, which
saw the introduction of h2 websocket support.
Replace http_get_path by the http_uri_parser API. The new functions is
renamed http_parse_path. Replace duplicated code for scheme and
authority parsing by invocations to http_parse_scheme/authority.
If no scheme is found for an URI detected as an absolute-uri/authority,
consider it to be an authority format : no path will be found. For an
absolute-uri or absolute-path, use the remaining of the string as the
path. A new http_uri_parser state is declared to mark the path parsing
as done.
Replace http_get_authority by the http_uri_parser API.
The new function is renamed http_parse_authority. Replace duplicated
scheme parsing code by http_parse_scheme invocation. A new
http_uri_parser state is declared to mark the authority parsing as done.
Replace http_get_scheme by the http_uri_parser API. The new function is
renamed http_parse_scheme. A new http_uri_parser state is declared to
mark the scheme parsing as completed.
Implement a http uri parser type. This type will be used as a context to
parse the various elements of an uri.
The goal of this serie of patches is to factorize duplicated code
between the http_get_scheme/authority/path functions. A simple parsing
API is designed to be able to extract once each element of an HTTP URI
in order. The functions will be renamed in the following patches to
reflect the API change with the prefix http_parse_*.
For the parser API, the http_uri_parser type must first be
initialized before usage. It will register the URI to parse and detect
its format according to the rfc 7230.
Implement the scheme-based uri normalization as described in rfc3986
6.3.2. Its purpose is to remove the port of an uri if the default one is
used according to the uri scheme : 80/http and 443/https. All other
ports are not touched.
This method uses an htx message as an input. It requires that the target
URI is in absolute-form with a http/https scheme. This represents most
of h2 requests except CONNECT. On the contrary, most of h1 requests
won't be elligible as origin-form is the standard case.
The normalization is first applied on the target URL of the start line.
Then, it is conducted on every Host headers present, assuming that they
are equivalent to the target URL.
This change will be notably useful to not confuse users who are
accustomed to use the host for routing without specifying default ports.
This problem was recently encountered with Firefox which specify the 443
default port for http2 websocket Extended CONNECT.
This patch adds the definition of two new array data_types:
'gpc': This is an array of 32bits General Purpose Counters.
'gpc_rate': This is an array on increment rates of General Purpose Counters.
Like for all arrays, they are limited to 100 elements.
This patch also adds actions and fetches to handle
elements of those arrays.
Note: As documented, those new actions and fetches won't
apply to the legacy 'gpc0', 'gpc1', 'gpc0_rate' nor 'gpc1_rate'.
This patch adds the definition of a new array data_type
'gpt'. This is an array of 32bits General Purpose Tags.
Like for all arrays, it is limited to 100 elements.
This patch also adds actions and fetches to handle
elements of this array.
Note: As documented, those new actions and fetches won't
apply to the legacy 'gpt0' data type.
This patch adds support of array data_types on the peer protocol.
The table definition message will provide an additionnal parameter
for array data-types: the number of elements of the array.
In case of array of frqp it also provides a second parameter:
the period used to compute freq counter.
The array elements are std_type values linearly encoded in
the update message.
Note: if a remote peer announces an array data_type without
parameters into the table definition message, all updates
on this table will be ignored because we can not
parse update messages consistently.
This patch provides the code to handle arrays of some
standard types (SINT, UINT, ULL and FRQP) in stick table.
This way we could define new "array" data types.
Note: the number of elements of an array was limited
to 100 to put a limit and to ensure that an encoded
update message will continue to fit into a buffer
when the peer protocol will handle such data types.
This patch replaces all advanced data type aliases on
stktable_data_cast calls by standard types.
This way we could call the same stktable_data_cast
regardless of the used advanced data type as long they
are using the same std type.
It also removes all the advanced data type aliases.
It is now possible to set the Netfilter MARK and the TOS field value in all
packets sent to the client from any tcp-request rulesets or the "tcp-response
content" one. To do so, the parsing of "set-mark" and "set-tos" actions are
moved in tcp_act.c and the actions evaluation is handled in dedicated functions.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the "nice" factor of the current stream from a
"tcp-request content" or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the
action parsing is moved in stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in
a dedicated function.
This patch may be backported as far as 2.2 if necessary.
It is now possible to set the stream log level from a "tcp-request content"
or "tcp-response content" ruleset. To do so, the action parsing is moved in
stream.c and the action evaluation is handled in a dedicated function.
This patch should fix issue #1306. It may be backported as far as 2.2 if
necessary.
Now we directly use p->queue to get to the queue, which is much more
straightforward. The performance on 100 servers and 16 threads
increased from 560k to 574k RPS, or 2.5%.
A lot more simplifications are possible, but the minimum was done at
this point.
A queue is specific to a server or a proxy, so we don't need to place
this distinction inside all pendconns, it can be in the queue itself.
This commit adds the relevant fields "px" and "sv" into the struct
queue, and initializes them accordingly.
This basically undoes the API changes that were performed by commit
0274286dd ("BUG/MAJOR: server: fix deadlock when changing maxconn via
agent-check") to address the deadlock issue: since process_srv_queue()
doesn't use the server lock anymore, it doesn't need the "server_locked"
argument, so let's get rid of it before it gets used again.
Till now whenever a server or proxy's queue was touched, this server
or proxy's lock was taken. Not only this requires distinct code paths,
but it also causes unnecessary contention with other uses of these locks.
This patch adds a lock inside the "queue" structure that will be used
the same way by the server and the proxy queuing code. The server used
to use a spinlock and the proxy an rwlock, though the queue only used
it for locked writes. This new version uses a spinlock since we don't
need the read lock part here. Tests have not shown any benefit nor cost
in using this one versus the rwlock so we could change later if needed.
The lower contention on the locks increases the performance from 362k
to 374k req/s on 16 threads with 20 servers and leastconn. The gain
with roundrobin even increases by 9%.
This is tagged medium because the lock is changed, but no other part of
the code touches the queues, with nor without locking, so this should
remain invisible.
This reverts commit fcb8bf8650.
The recent changes since 5304669e1 MEDIUM: queue: make
pendconn_process_next_strm() only return the pendconn opened a tiny race
condition between stream_free() and process_srv_queue(), as the pendconn
is accessed outside of the lock, possibly while it's being freed. A
different approach is required.
This reverts commit c83e45e9b0.

The performance profile changes from this:

8.08% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
3.62% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
1.78% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_add

11.95% haproxy [.] fwlc_srv_reposition
7.57% haproxy [.] fwlc_get_next_server
3.51% haproxy [.] process_srv_queue
1.74% haproxy [.] pendconn_dequeue
1.70% haproxy [.] pendconn_add
At this point the differences are mostly measurement noise.
This is tagged medium because the lock is changed, but no other part of
the code touches the queues, with nor without locking, so this should
remain invisible.
This structure will be common to proxies and servers and will contain
everything needed to handle their respective queues. For now it's only
a tree head, a length and an index.
This essentially reverts commit 2b4370078 ("MINOR: lb/api: let callers
of take_conn/drop_conn tell if they have the lock") that was merged
during 2.4 before the various locks could be eliminated at the lower
layers. Passing that information complicates the cleanup of the queuing
code and it's become useless.
The server_parse_maxconn_change_request locks the server lock. However,
this function can be called via agent-checks or lua code which already
lock it. This bug has been introduced by the following commit :
commit 79a88ba3d0
BUG/MAJOR: server: prevent deadlock when using 'set maxconn server'
This commit tried to fix another deadlock with can occur because
previoulsy server_parse_maxconn_change_request requires the server lock
to be held. However, it may call internally process_srv_queue which also
locks the server lock. The locking policy has thus been updated. The fix
is functional for the CLI 'set maxconn' but fails to address the
agent-check / lua counterparts.
This new issue is fixed in two steps :
- changes from the above commit have been reverted. This means that
server_parse_maxconn_change_request must again be called with the
server lock.
- to counter the deadlock fixed by the above commit, process_srv_queue
now takes an argument to render the server locking optional if the
caller already held it. This is only used by
server_parse_maxconn_change_request.
The above commit was subject to backport up to 1.8. Thus this commit
must be backported in every release where it is already present.
GitHub uses github/linguist to determine the programming language used for each
source file to show statistics and to power the search. In cases of unique file
extensions this is easy, but for `.h` files the situation is less clear as they
are used for C, C++, Objective C and more. In these cases linguist makes use of
heuristics to determine the language.
One of these heuristics for C++ is that the file contains a line beginning with
`try`, only preceded by whitespace indentation. This heuristic matches the long
comment at the bottom of `channel-t.h`, as one sentence includes the word `try`
after a linebreak.
Fix this misdetection by changing the comment to follow the convention that all
lines start with an asterisk.
The function ssl_sock_load_srv_cert will be used at runtime for dynamic
servers. If the cert is not loaded on ckch tree, we try to access it
from the file-system.
Now this access operation is rendered optional by a new function
argument. It is only allowed at parsing time, but will be disabled for
dynamic servers at runtime.
Explicitly call ssl_initialize_random to initialize the random generator
in init() global function. If the initialization fails, the startup is
interrupted.
This commit is in preparation for support of ssl on dynamic servers. To
be able to activate ssl on dynamic servers, it is necessary to ensure
that the random generator is initialized on startup regardless of the
config. It cannot be called at runtime as access to /dev/urandom is
required.
This also has the effect to fix the previous non-consistent behavior.
Indeed, if bind or server in the config are using ssl, the
initialization function was called, and if it failed, the startup was
interrupted. Otherwise, the ssl initialization code could have been
called through the ssl server for lua, but this times without blocking
the startup on error. Or not called at all if lua was deactivated.
The SF_SRV_REUSED flag was set if a stream reused a backend connection.
One of its purpose is to count the total reuse on the backend in
opposition to newly instantiated connection.
However, the flag was diverted from its original purpose since the
following commit :
e8f5f5d8b2
BUG/MEDIUM: servers: Only set SF_SRV_REUSED if the connection if fully ready.
With this change, the flag is not set anymore if the mux is not ready
when a connection is picked for reuse. This can happen for multiplexed
connections which are inserted in the available list as soon as created
in http-reuse always mode. The goal of this change is to not retry
immediately this request in case on an error on the same server if the
reused connection is not fully ready.
This change is justified for the retry timeout handling but it breaks
other places which still uses the flag for its original purpose. Mainly,
in this case the wrong 'connect' backend counter is incremented instead
of the 'reuse' one. The flag is also used in http_return_srv_error and
may have an impact if a http server error is replied for this stream.
To fix this problem, the original purpose of the flag is restored by
setting it unconditionaly when a connection is reused. Additionally, a
new flag SF_SRV_REUSED_ANTICIPATED is created. This flag is set when the
connection is reused but the mux is not ready yet. For the timeout
handling on error, the request is retried immediately only if the stream
reused a connection without this newly anticipated flag.
This must be backported up to 2.1.
When a server relies on a SRV resolution, a task is created to clean it up
(fqdn/port and address) when the SRV resolution is considered as outdated
(based on the resolvers 'timeout' value). It is only possible if the server
inherits outdated info from a state file and is no longer selected to be
attached to a SRV item. Note that most of time, a server is attached to a
SRV item. Thus when the item becomes obsolete, the server is cleaned
up.
It is important to have such task to be sure the server will be free again
to have a chance to be resolved again with fresh information. Of course,
this patch is a workaround to solve a design issue. But there is no other
obvious way to fix it without rewritting all the resolvers part. And it must
be backportable.
This patch relies on following commits:
* MINOR: resolvers: Clean server in a dedicated function when removing a SRV item
* MINOR: resolvers: Remove server from named_servers tree when removing a SRV item
All the series must be backported as far as 2.2 after some observation
period. Backports to 2.0 and 1.8 must be evaluated.
To avoid repeating the same source code, allocating memory and initializing
the per_thr field from the server structure is transferred to a separate
function.
This function appends to a buffer some information from a connection.
This will be used by traces and possibly some debugging as well. A
frontend/backend/server, transport/control layers, source/destination
ip:port, connection pointer and direction are reported depending on
the available information.
With a single process, we don't need to USE_PRIVATE_CACHE, USE_FUTEX
nor USE_PTHREAD_PSHARED anymore. Let's only keep the basic spinlock
to lock between threads.
The relative_pid is always 1. In mworker mode we also have a
child->relative_pid which is always equalt relative_pid, except for a
master (0) or external process (-1), but these types are usually tested
for, except for one place that was amended to carefully check for the
PROC_O_TYPE_WORKER option.
Changes were pretty limited as most usages of relative_pid were for
designating a process in stats output and peers protocol.
Lots of places iterating over nbproc or comparing with nbproc could be
simplified. Further, "bind-process" and "process" parsing that was
already limited to process 1 or "all" or "odd" resulted in a bind_proc
field that was either 0 or 1 during the init phase and later always 1.
All the checks for compatibilities were removed since it's not possible
anymore to run a frontend and a backend on different processes or to
have peers and stick-tables bound on different ones. This is the largest
part of this patch.
The bind_proc field was removed from both the proxy and the receiver
structs.
Since the "process" and "bind-process" directives are still parsed,
configs making use of correct values allowing process 1 will continue
to work.
This is a leftover of a previous attempt that was introduced in 2.4 by
commit d3a88c1c3 ("MEDIUM: connection: close front idling connection on
soft-stop"). It can be backported, as the variable doesn't exist.
Since threads were introduced in 1.8, the USE_PRIVATE_CACHE mode of the
shctx was not updated to use locks. Originally it was meant to disable
sharing between processes, so it removes the lock/unlock instructions.
But with threads enabled, it's not possible to work like this anymore.
It's easy to see that once built with private cache and threads enabled,
sending violent SSL traffic to the the process instantly makes it die.
The HTTP cache is very likely affected as well.
This patch addresses this by falling back to our native spinlocks when
USE_PRIVATE_CACHE is used. In practice we could use them also for other
modes and remove all older implementations, but this patch aims at keeping
the changes very low and easy to backport. A new SHCTX_LOCK label was
added to help with debugging, but OTHER_LOCK might be usable as well
for backports.
An even lighter approach for backports may consist in always declaring
the lock (or reusing "waiters"), and calling pl_take_s() for the lock()
and pl_drop_s() for the unlock() operation. This could even be used in
all modes (process and threads), even when thread support is disabled.
Subsequent patches will further clean up this area.
This patch must be backported to all supported versions since 1.8.
This one was deprecated in 2.3 and marked for removal in 2.5. It suffers
too many limitations compared to threads, and prevents some improvements
from being engaged. Instead of a bypassable startup error, there is now
a hard error.
The parsing code was removed, and very few obvious cases were as well.
The code is deeply rooted at certain places (e.g. "for" loops iterating
from 0 to nbproc) so it will not be that trivial to remove everywhere.
The "bind" and "bind-process" parsers will have to be adjusted, though
maybe not completely changed if we later want to support thread groups
for large NUMA machines. Some stats socket restrictions were removed,
and the doc was updated according to what was done. A few places in the
doc still refer to nbproc and will have to be revisited. The master-worker
code also refers to the process number to distinguish between master and
workers and will have to be carefully adjusted. The MAX_PROCS macro was
reset to 1, this will at least reduce the size of some remaining arrays.
Two regtests were dependieng on this directive, one with an explicit
"nbproc 1" and another one testing the master's CLI using nbproc 4.
Both were adapted.
Commit ab0a5192a ("MEDIUM: config: mark "grace" as deprecated") marked
the "grace" keyword as deprecated in 2.3, tentative removal for 2.4
with a hard deadline in 2.5, so let's remove it and return an error now.
This old and outdated feature was incompatible with soft-stop, reload
and socket transfers, and keeping it forced ugly hacks in the lower
layers of the protocol stack.
This patch add a ref into servers to register them onto the
record answer item used to set their hostnames.
It also adds a head list into 'srvrq' to register servers free
to be affected to a SRV record.
A head of a tree is also added to srvrq to put servers which
present a hotname in server state file. To re-link them fastly
to the matching record as soon an item present the same name.
This results in better performances on SRV record response
parsing.
This is an optimization but it could avoid to trigger the haproxy's
internal wathdog in some circumstances. And for this reason
it should be backported as far we can (2.0 ?)
This patch adds a head list into answer items on servers which use
this record to set their IPs. It makes lookup on duplicated ip faster and
allow to check immediatly if an item is still valid renewing the IP.
This results in better performances on A/AAAA resolutions.
This is an optimization but it could avoid to trigger the haproxy's
internal wathdog in some circumstances. And for this reason
it should be backported as far we can (2.0 ?)
When an HTX block is expanded, a defragmentation may be performed first to
have enough space to copy the new data. When it happens, the meta data of
the HTX message must take account of the new data length but copied data are
still unchanged at this stage (because we need more space to update the
message content). And here there is a bug because the meta data are updated
by the caller. It means that when the blocks content is copied, the new
length is already set. Thus a block larger than the reality is copied and
data outside the buffer may be accessed, leading to a crash.
To fix this bug, htx_defrag() is updated to use an extra argument with the
new meta data to use for the referenced block. Thus the caller does not need
to update the HTX message by itself. However, it still have to update the
data.
Most of time, the bug will be encountered in the HTTP compression
filter. But, even if it is highly unlikely, in theory it is also possible to
hit it when a HTTP header (or only its value) is replaced or when the
start-line is changed.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
A tiny change in commit 6af81f80f ("MEDIUM: errors: implement parsing
context type") triggered an awful bug in gcc 5 and below (4.7.4 to 5.5
confirmed affected, at least on aarch64/mips/x86_64) causing the startup
to loop forever in acl_find_target().
This was tracked down to the acl.c file seeing a different definition
of the struct proxy than other files. The reason for this is that it
sees an unpacked "enum obj_type" (4 bytes) while others see it packed
(1 byte), thus all fields in the struct are having a different
alignment, and the "acl" list is shifted one pointer to the next struct
and seems to loop onto itself.
The commit above did nothing more than adding "enum obj_type *obj" in a
new struct without including obj_type.h, and that was apparently enough
for the compiler to internally declare obj_type as a regular enum and
silently ignore the packed attribute that it discovers later, so depending
on the order of includes, some files would see it as 1 byte and others as
4.
This patch simply adds the missing include but due to the nature of the
bug, probably that creating a special "packed_enum" definition to disable
the packed attribute on such compilers could be a safer option.
No backport is needed as this is only in -dev.
The ifdefs surrounding the "show ssl ocsp-response" functionality that
were supposed to disable the code with BoringSSL were built the wrong
way.
It does not need to be backported.
Now that the modified lockless variant does not need a DWCAS anymore,
there's no reason to keep the much slower locked version, so let's
just get rid of it.
In GH issue #1275, Fabiano Nunes Parente provided a nicely detailed
report showing reproducible crashes under musl. Musl is one of the libs
coming with a simple allocator for which we prefer to keep the shared
cache. On x86 we have a DWCAS so the lockless implementation is enabled
for such libraries.
And this implementation has had a small race since day one: the allocator
will need to read the first object's <next> pointer to place it into the
free list's head. If another thread picks the same element and immediately
releases it, while both the local and the shared pools are too crowded, it
will be freed to the OS. If the libc's allocator immediately releases it,
the memory area is unmapped and we can have a crash while trying to read
that pointer. However there is no problem as long as the item remains
mapped in memory because whatever value found there will not be placed
into the head since the counter will have changed.
The probability for this to happen is extremely low, but as analyzed by
Fabiano, it increases with the buffer size. On 16 threads it's relatively
easy to reproduce with 2MB buffers above 200k req/s, where it should
happen within the first 20 seconds of traffic usually.
This is a structural issue for which there are two non-trivial solutions:
- place a read lock in the alloc call and a barrier made of lock/unlock
in the free() call to force to serialize operations; this will have
a big performance impact since free() is already one of the contention
points;
- change the allocator to use a self-locked head, similar to what is
done in the MT_LISTS. This requires two memory writes to the head
instead of a single one, thus the overhead is exactly one memory
write during alloc and one during free;
This patch implements the second option. A new POOL_DUMMY pointer was
defined for the locked pointer value, allowing to both read and lock it
with a single xchg call. The code was carefully optimized so that the
locked period remains the shortest possible and that bus writes are
avoided as much as possible whenever the lock is held.
Tests show that while a bit slower than the original lockless
implementation on large buffers (2MB), it's 2.6 times faster than both
the no-cache and the locked implementation on such large buffers, and
remains as fast or faster than the all implementations when buffers are
48k or higher. Tests were also run on arm64 with similar results.
Note that this code is not used on modern libcs featuring a fast allocator.
A nice benefit of this change is that since it removes a dependency on
the DWCAS, it will be possible to remove the locked implementation and
replace it with this one, that is then usable on all systems, thus
significantly increasing their performance with large buffers.
Given that lockless pools were introduced in 1.9 (not supported anymore),
this patch will have to be backported as far as 2.0. The code changed
several times in this area and is subject to many ifdefs which will
complicate the backport. What is important is to remove all the DWCAS
code from the shared cache alloc/free lockless code and replace it with
this one. The pool_flush() code is basically the same code as the
allocator, retrieving the whole list at once. If in doubt regarding what
barriers to use in older versions, it's safe to use the generic ones.
This patch depends on the following previous commits:
- MINOR: pools: do not maintain the lock during pool_flush()
- MINOR: pools: call malloc_trim() under thread isolation
- MEDIUM: pools: use a single pool_gc() function for locked and lockless
The last one also removes one occurrence of an unneeded DWCAS in the
code that was incompatible with this fix. The removal of the now unused
seq field will happen in a future patch.
Many thanks to Fabiano for his detailed report, and to Olivier for
his help on this issue.
Since the code was reorganized, DEBUG_UAF was still tested in the locked
pool code despite pools being disabled when DEBUG_UAF is used. Let's move
the test to pool_put_to_os() which is the one that is always called in
this condition.
The impact is only a possible misleading analysis during a troubleshooting
session due to a missing double-frees or free of const area test that is
normally already dealt with by the underlying code anyway. In practice it's
unlikely anyone will ever notice.
This should only be backported to 2.4.
This patch adds the "show ssl ocsp-response [<id>]" CLI command. This
command can be used to display the IDs of the OCSP tree entries along
with details about the entries' certificate ID (issuer's name and key
hash + serial number), or to display the details of a single
ocsp-response if an ID is given. The details displayed in this latter
case are the ones shown by a "openssl ocsp -respin <ocsp-response>
-text" call.
Since commit 04a5a44 ("BUILD: ssl: use HAVE_OPENSSL_KEYLOG instead of
OpenSSL versions") the "tune.ssl.keylog" feature is broken because
HAVE_OPENSSL_KEYLOG does not exist.
Replace this by a HAVE_SSL_KEYLOG which is defined in openssl-compat.h.
Also add an error when not built with the right openssl version.
Must be backported as far as 2.3.
Change the algorithm for the generation of the user messages context
prefix. Remove the dubious API relying on optional printf positional
arguments. This may be non portable, and in fact the CI glibc crashes
with the following error when some arguments are not present in the
format string :
"invalid %N$ use detected".
Now, a fixed buffer attached to the context instance is allocated once
for the program lifetime. Then call repeatedly snprintf with the
optional arguments of context if present to build the context string.
The buffer is deallocated via a per-thread free handler.
This does not need to be backported.
This patch adds the `-cc` (check condition) argument to evaluate conditions on
startup and return the result as the exit code.
As an example this can be used to easily check HAProxy's version in scripts:
haproxy -cc 'version_atleast(2.4)'
This resolves GitHub issue #1246.

Create a parsing_ctx structure. This type is used to store information
about the current file/line parsed. A global context is created and
can be manipulated when haproxy is in STARTING mode. When starting is
over, the context is resetted and should not be accessed anymore.
The user messages buffer is used to store the stderr output after the
starting is over. Each thread has it own user messages buffer. Add some
functions to add a new message, retrieve and clear the content.
The user messages buffer primary goal is to be consulted by CLI
handlers. Each handlers using it must clear the buffer before starting
its operation.
Move functions related to errors output on stderr from log.c to a newly
created errors.c file. It targets print_message and
ha_alert/warning/notice/diag functions and related startup_logs feature.
A memory allocation failure happening in chash_init_server_tree while
trying to allocate a server's lb_nodes item used in consistent hashing
would have resulted in a crash. This function is only called during
configuration parsing.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches.
A memory allocation failure happening in mworker_env_to_proc_list when
trying to allocate a mworker_proc would have resulted in a crash. This
function is only called during init.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches.
A memory allocation failure happening during peers_register_table would
have resulted in a crash. This function is only called during init.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches.
Two calloc calls were not checked in the srv_parse_source function.
Considering that this function could be called at runtime through a
dynamic server creation via the CLI, this could lead to an unfortunate
crash.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches even though the runtime
crash could only happen on branches where dynamic server creation is
possible.
b_slow_realign() function may be used to realign a buffer with a given
amount of output data, eventually 0. In such case, the head is set to
0. This function is not designed to be used with input only buffers, like
those used in the muxes. It is the purpose of b_slow_realign_ofs()
function. It does almost the same, realign a buffer. But it do so by setting
the buffer head to a specific offset.
h1 parsing functions (h1_parse_msg_*) returns the number of bytes parsed or
0 if nothing is parsed because an error occurred or some data are
missing. But they never return negative values. Thus, instead of a signed
integer, these function now return a size_t value.
The H1 and FCGI muxes are updated accordingly. Note that h1_parse_msg_data()
has been slightly adapted because the parsing of chunked messages still need
to handle negative values when a parsing error is reported by
h1_parse_chunk_size() or h1_skip_chunk_crlf().
The output of "show map/acl" now contains the 'entry_cnt' value that
represents the count of all the entries for each map/acl, not just the
active ones, which means that it also includes entries currently being
added.
The first item inserted into an ebtree will be inserted directly below
the root, which is a simple struct eb_root which only holds two branch
pointers (left and right).
If we try to find a duplicated entry to this first leaf through a
ebmb_next_dup, our leaf_p pointer will point to the eb_root instead of a
complete eb_node so we cannot look for the bit part of our leaf_p since
it would try to cast our eb_root into an eb_node and perform an out of
bounds access when reading "eb_root_to_node(eb_untag(t,EB_LEFT)))->bit".
This bug was found by address sanitizer running on a CRL hot update VTC
test.
Note that the bug has been there since the import of the eb_next_dup()
and eb_prev_dup() function in 1.5-dev19 by commit 2b5702030 ("MINOR:
ebtree: add new eb_next_dup/eb_prev_dup() functions to visit duplicates").
It can be backported to all stable branches.
The following functions used in CA/CRL file hot update were not defined
in OpenSSL 1.0.2 so they need to be defined in openssl-compat :
- X509_CRL_get_signature_nid
- X509_CRL_get0_lastUpdate
- X509_CRL_get0_nextUpdate
- X509_REVOKED_get0_serialNumber
- X509_REVOKED_get0_revocationDate
This patch adds the "set ssl crl-file" and "commit ssl crl-file"
commands, following the same logic as the certificate and CA file update
equivalents.
When trying to update a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) file via a
"set" command, we start by looking for the entry in the CA file tree and
then building a new cafile_entry out of the payload, without adding it
to the tree yet. It will only be added when a "commit" command is
called.
During a "commit" command, we insert the newly built cafile_entry in the
CA file tree while keeping the previous entry. We then iterate over all
the instances that used the CRL file and rebuild a new one and its
dedicated SSL context for every one of them.
When all the contexts are properly created, the old instances get
replaced by the new ones and the old CRL file is removed from the tree.
The CA files and CRL files are stored in the same cafile_tree so this
patch adds a new field the the cafile_entry structure that specifies the
type of the entry. Since a ca-file can also have some CRL sections, the
type will be based on the option used to load the file and not on its
content (ca-file vs crl-file options).
This patch adds the "set ssl ca-file" and "commit ssl ca-file" commands,
following the same logic as the certificate update equivalents.
When trying to update a ca-file entry via a "set" command, we start by
looking for the entry in the cafile_tree and then building a new
cafile_entry out of the given payload. This new object is not added to
the cafile_tree until "commit" is called.
During a "commit" command, we insert the newly built cafile_entry in the
cafile_tree, while keeping the previous entry as well. We then iterate
over all the instances linked in the old cafile_entry and rebuild a new
ckch instance for every one of them. The newly inserted cafile_entry is
used for all those new instances and their respective SSL contexts.
When all the contexts are properly created, the old instances get
replaced by the new ones and the old cafile_entry is removed from the
tree.
This fixes a subpart of GitHub issue #1057.
Adds a way to insert a new uncommitted cafile_entry in the tree. This
entry will be the one fetched by any lookup in the tree unless the
oldest cafile_entry is explicitely looked for. This way, until a "commit
ssl ca-file" command is completed, there could be two cafile_entries
with the same path in the tree, the original one and the newly updated
one.
The updated CA content coming from the CLI during a ca-file update will
directly be in memory and not on disk so the way CAs are loaded in a
cafile_entry for now (via X509_STORE_load_locations calls) cannot be
used.
This patch adds a way to fill a cafile_entry directly from memory and to
load the contained certificate and CRL sections into an SSL store.
CRL sections are managed as well as certificates in order to mimic the
way CA files are processed when specified in an option. Indeed, when
parsing a CA file given through a ca-file or ca-verify-file option, we
iterate over the different sections in ssl_set_cert_crl_file and load
them regardless of their type. This ensures that a file that was
properly parsed when given as an option will also be accepted by the
CLI.
In order for the link between the cafile_entry and the default ckch
instance to be built, we need to give a pointer to the instance during
the ssl_sock_prepare_ctx call.
Each ca-file entry of the tree will now hold a list of the ckch
instances that use it so that we can iterate over them when updating the
ca-file via a cli command. Since the link between the SSL contexts and
the CA file tree entries is only built during the ssl_sock_prepare_ctx
function, which are called after all the ckch instances are created, we
need to add a little post processing after each ssl_sock_prepare_ctx
that builds the link between the corresponding ckch instance and CA file
tree entries.
In order to manage the ca-file and ca-verify-file options, any ckch
instance can be linked to multiple CA file tree entries and any CA file
entry can link multiple ckch instances. This is done thanks to a
dedicated list of ckch_inst references stored in the CA file tree
entries over which we can iterate (during an update for instance). We
avoid having one of those instances go stale by keeping a list of
references to those references in the instances.
When deleting a ckch_inst, we can then remove all the ckch_inst_link
instances that reference it, and when deleting a cafile_entry, we
iterate over the list of ckch_inst reference and clear the corresponding
entry in their own list of ckch_inst_link references.
This patch moves all the ssl_store related code to ssl_ckch.c since it
will mostly be used there once the CA file update CLI commands are all
implemented. It also makes the cafile_entry structure visible as well as
the cafile_tree.
stdint.h is not as portable as inttypes.h. It doesn't exist at least
on AIX 5.1 and Solaris 7, while inttypes.h is present there and does
include stdint.h on platforms supporting it.
This is equivalent to libslz upstream commit e36710a ("slz: use
inttypes.h instead of stdint.h")
On ARM with native CRC support, no need to inflate the executable with
a 4kB CRC table, let's just drop it.
This is slz upstream commit d8715db20b2968d1f3012a734021c0978758f911.
This function was not used anymore after the atomic updates were
implemented in 2.3, and it must not be used given that it does not
yield and can easily make the process hang for tens of seconds on
large acls/maps. Let's remove it before someone uses it as an
example to implement something else!
It's still very difficult to find all commands starting with a given
keyword like "set", "show" etc. Let's sort the lines by usage message,
this is much more convenient.
The build fails on versions older than 1.0.1d which is the first one
introducing CRYPTO_memcmp(), so let's have a define for this instead
of enabling it whenever USE_OPENSSL is set. One could also wonder why
we're relying on openssl for such a trivial thing, and a simple local
implementation could also allow to restore lexicographic ordering.
Some of the Lua doc and a few places still used "Haproxy" or "HAproxy".
There was even one "HA proxy". A few of them were in an example of VTest
output, indicating that VTest ought to be fixed as well. No big deal but
better address all the remaining ones so that these inconsistencies stop
spreading around.
listener-t comes with openssl just due to the SSL_CTX type that is
declred as a typedef in openssl hence cannot be abstracted at this
level. However connection-t.h doen't need all that just to know that
bind_conf is a struct. Let's declare it with other external types
instead..
These ones are used by virtually every config parser. Not only they
provide no benefit in being inlined, but they imply a very deep
dependency starting at proxy.h, which results for example in task.c
including openssl.
Let's move these two functions to cfgparse.c.
These caddr_* functions were once placed into tools.h in the hope they
would be useful but nobody knows they exist. They could deserve being
moved to their own file with other pointer manipulation functions maybe,
but for now they're the only reason left for stick_table.h to include
tools.h, so let's move them directly there since it's its only user.
This allows to remove tools.h from stick_table.h and slightly reduce
the overall build time.
This function has no business being inlined in stick_table.h since it's
only used at boot time by the config parser. In addition it causes an
undesired dependency on tools.h because it uses parse_time_err(). Let's
move it to stick_table.c.
No idea why this was put inlined into connection.h, it's used only once
for haproxy -vv, and requires tools.h, causing an undesired dependency
from connection.h. Let's move it to connection.c instead where it ought
to have been.
Only mworker uses proc_self, and it was declared in global.h, forcing
users of global.h to include mworker and its dependencies.
Moving it to mworker reduces the preprocessed size of version.c from
170 to 125kB by shrinking the number of local includes from 30 to 16
and the number of system includes from 147 to 132.
The presence of this field causes a long dependency chain because almost
everyone includes global-t.h, and vars include sample_data which include
some system includes as well as HTTP parts.
There is absolutely no reason for having the process-wide variables in
the global struct, let's just move them into vars.c and vars.h. This
reduces from ~190k to ~170k the preprocessed output of version.c.
This will allow some fields to be produced with a higher accuracy when
the requester indicates being able to parse floats. Rates and times are
among the elements which can make sense.
Currently the stats filling function knows nothing about the caller's
needs, so let's pass the STAT_* flags so that it can adapt to the
requester's constraints.
For stats reporting it can be convenient to report floats at low rates
instead of discrete integers. We do have quite some precision since we
currently divide counters by number of milliseconds, so we can usually
add 3 digits after the decimal point.
We already had ultoa_r() and friends but nothing to emit inline floats.
This is now done with ftoa_r() and F2A/F2H. Note that the latter both use
the itoa_str[] as temporary storage and that the HTML format currently is
the exact same as the ASCII one. The trailing zeroes are always timmed so
these outputs are usable in user-visible output.
When using "%f" to print a float, it automatically gets 6 digits after
the decimal point and there's no way to automatically adjust to the
required ones by dropping trailing zeroes. This function does exactly
this and automatically drops the decimal point if all digits after it
were zeroes. This will make numbers more friendly in stats and makes
outputs shorter (e.g. JSON where everything is just a "number").
The function is designed to be easy to use with snprint() and chunks:
snprintf:
flt_trim(buf, 0, snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%f", x));
chunk_printf:
out->data = flt_trim(out->area, 0, chunk_printf(out, "%f", x));
chunk_appendf:
size_t prev_data = out->data;
out->data = flt_trim(out->area, prev_data, chunk_appendf(out, "%f", x));
Add a new proxy capability for proxy with load-balancing capabilities.
This help to differentiate listen/frontend/backend with special proxies
such as peer proxies.
Support experimental actions. It is mandatory to use
'expose-experimental-directives' before to be able to use them.
If such action is present in the config file, the tainted status of the
process is updated. Another tainted status is set when an experimental
action is executed.
Define a new keyword flag KWF_MATCH_PREFIX. This is used to replace the
match_pfx field of action struct.
This has the benefit to have more explicit action declaration, and now
it is possible to quickly implement experimental actions.
Add a new flag to mark a keyword as experimental. An experimental
keyword cannot be used if the global 'expose-experimental-directives' is
not present first.
Only keywords parsed through a standard cfg_keywords lists in
global/proxies section will be automatically detected if declared
experimental. To support a keyword outside of these lists,
check_kw_experimental must be called manually during its parsing.
If an experimental keyword is present in the config, the tainted flag is
updated.
For the moment, no keyword is marked as experimental.
This field will be used to add various mechanism to config parsing.
Currently no flag value is implemented. The following commit will
implement experimental keywords.
Add a global flag named 'tainted'. Its purpose is to report various
status about experimental features used for the current process
lifetime.
By default it is initialized to 0. It can be set/retrieve by a couple of
new functions mark_tainted()/get_tainted(). Once a flag is set, it
cannot be resetted.
Currently, no tainted status is implemented, it will be the subject of
the following commits.
The new function split_version() converts a parsable haproxy version to
an array of integers. The function compare_current_version() compares an
arbitrary version to the current one. These two functions were written
by Thierry Fournier in 2013, and are still usable as-is. They will be
used to write config language predicates.
Till now it was only presented in the version output but could not be
consulted outside of haproxy.c, let's export it as a variable, and set
it to an empty string if not defined.
Let's add a few fields to the global struct to store information about
the current file being processed, the current line number and the current
section. This will be used to retrieve them using special variables.
When the abortonclose option is enabled, to be sure to be immediately
notified when a shutdown is received from the client, the frontend
conn-stream must be sure the mux will wait for read events. To do so, the
CO_RFL_KEEP_RECV flag is set when mux->rcv_buf() is called. This new flag
instructs the mux to wait for read events, regardless its internal state.
This patch is required to fix abortonclose option for H1 client connections.
When channel_may_recv() is called for an HTX stream, the HTX version,
channel_htx_may_recv() is called. This patch is mandatory to fix a bug
related to the abortonclose option.
This adds the necessary flags to permit run-time enabling/disabling of
memory profiling. For now this is disabled.
A few words were added to the management doc about it and recalling that
this is limited to certain OSes.
get_sym_curr_addr() will return the address of the first occurrence of
the given symbol while get_sym_next_addr() will return the address of
the next occurrence of the symbol. These ones return NULL on non-linux,
non-ELF, non-USE_DL.
Implement a safe mechanism to close front idling connection which
prevents the soft-stop to complete. Every h1/h2 front connection is
added in a new per-thread list instance. On shutdown, a new task is
waking up which calls wake mux operation on every connection still
present in the new list.
A new stopping_list attach point has been added in the connection
structure. As this member is only used for frontend connections, it
shared the same union as the session_list reserved for backend
connections.
Move the session_list attach point in an anonymous union. This member is
only used for backend connections. This commit is in preparation for the
support of stopping frontend idling connections which will add another
member to the union.
This change means that a special care must be taken to be sure that only
backend connections manipulate the session_list. A few BUG_ON has been
added as special guard to prevent from misuse.
The purpose of this debugging option was to prevent certain pools from
masking other ones when they were shared. For example, task, http_txn,
h2s, h1s, h1c, session, fcgi_strm, and connection are all 192 bytes and
would normally be mergedi, but not with this option. The problem is that
certain pools are declared multiple times with various parameters, which
are often very close, and due to the way the option works, they're not
shared either. Good examples of this are captures and stick tables. Some
configurations have large numbers of stick-tables of pretty similar types
and it's very common to end up with the following when the option is
enabled:
$ socat - /tmp/sock1 <<< "show pools" | grep stick
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753800=56
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753880=57
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753900=58
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753980=59
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753a00=60
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753a80=61
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753b00=62
- Pool sticktables (224 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x753780=55
In addition to not being convenient, it can have important effects on the
memory usage because these pools will not share their entries, so one stick
table cannot allocate from another one's pool.
This patch solves this by going back to the initial goal which was not to
have different pools in the same list. Instead of masking the MAP_F_SHARED
flag, it simply adds a test on the pool's name, and disables pool sharing
if the names differ. This way pools are not shared unless they're of the
same name and size, which doesn't hinder debugging. The same test above
now returns this:
$ socat - /tmp/sock1 <<< "show pools" | grep stick
- Pool sticktables (160 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 7 users, @0x3fadb30 [SHARED]
- Pool sticktables (224 bytes) : 0 allocated (0 bytes), 0 used, needed_avg 0, 0 failures, 1 users, @0x3facaa0 [SHARED]
This is much better. This should probably be backported, in order to limit
the side effects of DEBUG_DONT_SHARE_POOLS being enabled in production.
DragonflyBSD already has an attribute __read_mostly which serves the
same purpose as the one in compiler.h.
No need to be backported as it was added in the current 2.4-dev.
Instead of being able to purge only values older than a specific value,
let's support arbitrary ranges and make pat_ref_purge_older() just be
one special case of this one.
Thanks to the commit "BUG/MINOR: applet: Notify the other side if data were
consumed by an applet", it is no longer necessary to notify the producer when an
applet skips output data. Now, it is the default applet handler responsibility
to take care of that.
Move cpu_map structure outside of the global struct to a global
variable defined in cpuset.c compilation unit. This allows to reorganize
the includes without having to define _GNU_SOURCE everywhere for the
support of the cpu_set_t.
This fixes the compilation with musl libc, most notably used for the
alpine based docker image.
This fixes the github issue #1235.
No need to backport as this feature is new in the current
2.4-dev.
The HTX functions used to add new HTX blocks in a message have been moved to
the header file to inline them in calling functions. These functions are
small enough.
A normalized URI is the internal term used to specify an URI is stored using
the absolute format (scheme + authority + path). For now, it is only used
for H2 clients. It is the default and recommended format for H2 request.
However, it is unusual for H1 servers to receive such URI. So in this case,
we only send the path of the absolute URI. It is performed for H1 servers,
but not for FCGI applications. This patch fixes the difference.
Note that it is not a real bug, because FCGI applications should support
abosolute URI.
Note also a normalized URI is only detected for H2 clients when a request is
received. There is no such test on the H1 side. It means an absolute URI
received from an H1 client will be sent without modification to an H1 server
or a FCGI application.
To make it possible, a dedicated function has been added to get the H1
URI. This function is called by the H1 and the FCGI multiplexer when a
request is sent to a server.
This patch should fix the issue #1232. It must be backported as far as 2.2.
In proxy.c, when process is stopping we try to flush tables content
using 'stktable_trash_oldest'. A check on a counter "table->syncing" was
made to verify if there is no pending resync in progress.
But using multiple threads this counter can be increased by an other thread
only after some delay, so the content of some tables can be trashed earlier and
won't be pushed to the new process (after reload, some tables appear reset and
others don't).
This patch re-names the counter "table->syncing" to "table->refcnt" and
the counter is increased during configuration parsing (registering a table to
a peer section) to protect tables during runtime and until resync of a new
process has succeeded or failed.
The inc/dec operations are now made using atomic operations
because multiple peer sections could refer to the same table in futur.
This fix addresses github #1216.
This patch should be backported on all branches multi-thread support (v >= 1.8)
The compiler cannot guess that tv_sec or tv_usec might have unused
parts, so the multiply by 1000 and the divide by 1000 are both
performed using 64-bit constants to stick to the common type. This is
not needed since we only keep the final 32 bits, let's help the compiler
here by casting these fields to uint. The tv_update_date() code is much
cleaner (48 bytes smaller in the CAS loop) as it avoids some register
spilling at a location where that's really unwanted.
The compilation is currently broken on platform without USE_CPU_AFFINITY
set. An error has been reported by the cygwin build of the CI.
This does not need to be backported.

Render numa detection optional with a global configuration statement
'no numa-cpu-mapping'. This can be used if the applied affinity of the
algorithm is not optimal. Also complete the documentation with this new
keyword.
On process startup, the CPU topology of the machine is inspected. If a
multi-socket CPU machine is detected, automatically define the process
affinity on the first node with active cpus. This is done to prevent an
impact on the overall performance of the process in case the topology of
the machine is unknown to the user.
This step is not executed in the following condition :
- a non-null nbthread statement is present
- a restrictive 'cpu-map' statement is present
- the process affinity is already restricted, for example via a taskset
call
For the record, benchmarks were executed on a machine with 2 CPUs
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz. In both clear and ssl
scenario, the performance were sub-optimal without the automatic
rebinding on a single node.
Allow to specify multiple cpu ids/ranges in parse_cpu_set separated by a
comma. This is optional and must be activated by a parameter.
The comma support is disabled for the parsing of the 'cpu-map' config
statement. However, it will be useful to parse files in sysfs when
inspecting the cpus topology for NUMA automatic process binding.
Create a function thread_cpu_mask_forced. Its purpose is to report if a
restrictive cpu mask is active for the current proces, for example due
to a taskset invocation. It is only implemented for the linux platform
currently.
Use the platform independent type hap_cpuset for the cpu-map statement
parsing. This allow to address CPU index greater than LONGBITS.
Update the documentation to reflect the removal of this limit except for
platforms without cpu_set_t type or equivalent.
Replace the unsigned long parameter by a hap_cpuset. This allows to
address CPU with index greater than LONGBITS.
This function is used to parse the 'cpu-map' statement. However at the
moment, the result is casted back to a long to store it in the global
structure. The next step is to replace ulong in in cpu_map in the
global structure with hap_cpuset.
This module can be used to manipulate a cpu sets in a platform agnostic
way. Use the type cpu_set_t/cpuset_t if available on the platform, or
fallback to unsigned long, which limits de facto the maximum cpu index
to LONGBITS.
As we now embed the library we don't need to support the older 1.0 API
any more, so we can remove the explicit calls to slz_make_crc_table()
and slz_prepare_dist_table().
Now that SLZ is merged, let's update the makefile and compression
files to use it. As a result, SLZ_INC and SLZ_LIB are neither defined
nor used anymore.
USE_SLZ is enabled by default ("USE_SLZ=default") and can be disabled
by passing "USE_SLZ=" or by enabling USE_ZLIB=1.
The doc was updated to reflect the changes.
SLZ is rarely packaged by distros and there have been complaints about
the CPU and memory usage of ZLIB, leading to some suggestions to better
address the issue by simply integrating SLZ into the tree (just 3 files).
See discussions below:
https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg38037.htmlhttps://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg40079.htmlhttps://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg40365.html
This patch does just this, after minor adjustments to these files:
- tables.h was renamed to slz-tables.h
- tables.h had the precomputed tables removed since not used here
- slz.c uses includes <import/slz*> instead of "slz*.h"
The slz commit imported here was b06c172 ("slz: avoid a build warning
with -Wimplicit-fallthrough"). No other change was performed either to
SLZ nor to haproxy at this point so that this operation may be replicated
if needed for a future version.
This normalizer removes "/./" segments from the path component.
Usually the dot refers to the current directory which renders those segments redundant.
See GitHub Issue #714.
The current "ADD" vs "ADDQ" is confusing because when thinking in terms
of appending at the end of a list, "ADD" naturally comes to mind, but
here it does the opposite, it inserts. Several times already it's been
incorrectly used where ADDQ was expected, the latest of which was a
fortunate accident explained in 6fa922562 ("CLEANUP: stream: explain
why we queue the stream at the head of the server list").
Let's use more explicit (but slightly longer) names now:
LIST_ADD -> LIST_INSERT
LIST_ADDQ -> LIST_APPEND
LIST_ADDED -> LIST_INLIST
LIST_DEL -> LIST_DELETE
The same is true for MT_LISTs, including their "TRY" variant.
LIST_DEL_INIT keeps its short name to encourage to use it instead of the
lazier LIST_DELETE which is often less safe.
The change is large (~674 non-comment entries) but is mechanical enough
to remain safe. No permutation was performed, so any out-of-tree code
can easily map older names to new ones.
The list doc was updated.
Amaury noticed that I managed to break the build of DEBUG_FAIL_ALLOC
for the second time with 207c09509 ("MINOR: pools: move the fault
injector to __pool_alloc()"). The joy of endlessly reworking patch
sets... No backport is needed, that was in the just merged cleanup
series.
By having a pair of dummy pool_get_from_cache() and pool_put_to_cache()
we can remove some ugly ifdefs, so let's do this. We've already done it
for the shared cache.
This function has become too big (251 bytes) and is now hurting
performance a lot, with up to 4% request rate being lost over the last
pool changes. Let's move it to pool.c as a regular function. Other
attempts were made to cut it in half but it's still inefficient. Doing
this results in saving ~90kB of object code, and even 112kB since the
pool changes, with code that is even slightly faster!
Conversely, pool_get_from_cache(), which remains half of this size, is
still faster inlined, likely in part due to the immediate use of the
returned pointer afterwards.
Since pool_get_from_cache() and pool_put_to_cache() were now only wrappers
to the local cache versions which do all the job, let's merge them together
so that there is no more local-cache specific function.
Now when pool_get_from_local_cache() fails, it automatically falls back
to pool_get_from_shared_cache(), which used to always be done in
pool_get_from_cache(). Thus now the API is simpler as we always allocate
and free from/to the local caches.
Till now it used to call it only if there were not too many objects into
the local cache otherwise would send the latest one directly into the
shared cache. Now it always sends to the local cache and it's up to the
local cache to free its oldest objects. From a cache freshness perspective
it's better this way since we always evict cold objects instead of hot
ones. From an API perspective it's better because it will help make the
shared cache invisible to the public API.
These two functions are now responsible for allocating directly from
the cache and releasing to the cache.
Now the pool_alloc() function simply does this:
if cache enabled
return pool_alloc_from_cache() if no NULL
return pool_alloc_nocache() otherwise
and the pool_free() function does this:
if cache enabled
pool_put_to_cache()
else
pool_free_nocache()
For now this only introduces these two functions without changing anything
else, but the goal is to soon allow to make them implementation-specific.
Continuing the unification of local and shared pools, now the usage of
pools is governed by CONFIG_HAP_POOLS without which allocations and
releases are performed directly from the OS using pool_alloc_nocache()
and pool_free_nocache().
There are two levels of freeing to the OS:
- code that wants to keep the pool's usage counters updated uses
pool_free_area() and handles the counters itself. That's what
pool_put_to_shared_cache() does in the no-global-pools case.
- code that does not want to update the counters because they were
already updated only calls pool_free_area().
Let's extract these calls to establish the symmetry with pool_get_from_os()
and pool_alloc_nocache(), resulting in pool_put_to_os() (which only updates
the allocated counter) and pool_free_nocache() (which also updates the used
counter). This will later allow to simplify the generic code.
Calling pool_free_area() inside a lock in pool_put_to_shared_cache() is
a very bad idea. Fortunately this only happens on the lowest end platforms
which almost never use threads or in very small counts.
This change consists in zeroing the pointer once already released to the
cache in the first test so that the second stage knows if it needs to
pass it to the OS or not. This has slightly reduced the length of the
A part of the code cannot be factored out because it still uses non-atomic
inc/dec for pool->used and pool->allocated as these are located under the
pool's lock. While it can make sense in terms of bus cycles, it does not
make sense in terms of code normalization. Further, some operations were
still performed under a lock that could be totally removed via the use of
atomic ops.
There is still one occurrence in pool_put_to_shared_cache() in the locked
code where pool_free_area() is called under the lock, which must absolutely
be fixed.
Now there's one part dealing with the allocation itself and keeping
counters up to date, and another one on top of it to return such an
allocated pointer to the user and update the use count and stats.
This is in anticipation for being able to group cache-related parts.
The release code is still done at once.
Till now it was limited to objects allocated from the OS which means
it had little use as soon as pools were enabled. Let's move it upper
in the layers so that any code can benefit from fault injection. In
addition this allows to pass a new flag POOL_F_NO_FAIL to disable it
if some callers prefer a no-failure approach.
Now the multi-level cache becomes more visible:
pool_get_from_local_cache()
pool_put_to_local_cache()
pool_get_from_shared_cache()
pool_put_to_shared_cache()
The functions were rightfully called from/to_cache when the thread-local
cache was considered as the only cache, but this is getting terribly
confusing. Let's call them from/to local_cache to make it clear that
it is not related with the shared cache.
As a side note, since pool_evict_from_cache() used not to work for a
particular pool but for all of them at once, it was renamed to
pool_evict_from_local_caches() (plural form).
This is exactly what it is, the entry is retrieved from the shared
cache when it is defined. The implementation that is enabled with
CONFIG_HAP_NO_GLOBAL_POOLS continues to return NULL.
Now that __pool_alloc() only surrounds __pool_get_first() with the lock,
let's move it to the only variant that requires it and remove the ugly
ifdefs from the function. This is safe because nobody else calls this
function.
In __pool_alloc(), historically we used to use factor out the
pool's lock between __pool_get_first() and __pool_refill_alloc(),
resulting in real malloc() or mmap() calls being performed under
the pool lock (for platforms using the locked shared pools).
As this is not needed anymore, let's move the call out of the
lock, it may improve allocation patterns on some platforms. This
also makes __pool_alloc() cleaner as we see a first attempt to
allocate from the local cache, then a second from the shared
cache then a reall allocation.
They were strictly equivalent, let's remerge them and rename them to
pool_alloc_nocache() as it's the call which performs a real allocation
which does not check nor update the cache. The only difference in the
past was the former taking the lock and not the second but now the lock
is not needed anymore at this stage since the pool's list is not touched.
In addition, given that the "avail" argument is no longer used by the
function nor by its callers, let's drop it.
This is a first step towards unifying all the fallback code. Right now
these two functions are the only ones which do not update the needed_avg
rate counter since there's currently no shared pool kept when using them.
But their code is similar to what could be used everywhere except for
this one, so let's make them capable of maintaining usage statistics.
As a side effect the needed field in "show pools" will now be populated.
The mem_should_fail() call enabled by DEBUG_FAIL_ALLOC used to be placed
only in the no-cache version of the allocator. Now we can generalize it
to all modes and remove the exclusive test on CONFIG_HAP_NO_GLOBAL_POOLS.
We're going to make the local pool always present unless pools are
completely disabled. This means that pools are always enabled by
default, regardless of the use of threads. Let's drop this notion
of "local" pools and make it just "pool". The equivalent debug
option becomes DEBUG_NO_POOLS instead of DEBUG_NO_LOCAL_POOLS.
For now this changes nothing except the option and dropping the
dependency on USE_THREAD.
Initially per-thread pool caches were stored into a fixed-size array.
But this was a bit ugly because the last allocated pools were not able
to benefit from the cache at all. As a work around to preserve
performance, a size of 64 cacheable pools was set by default (there
are 51 pools at the moment, excluding any addon and debugging code),
so all in-tree pools were covered, at the expense of higher memory
usage.
In addition an index had to be calculated for each pool, and was used
to acces the pool cache head into that array. The pool index was not
even stored into the pools so it was required to determine it to access
the cache when the pool was already known.
This patch changes this by moving the pool cache head into the pool
head itself. This way it is certain that each pool will have its own
cache. This removes the need for index calculation.
The pool cache head is 32 bytes long so it was aligned to 64B to avoid
false sharing between threads. The extra cost is not huge (~2kB more
per pool than before), and we'll make better use of that space soon.
The pool cache head contains the size, which should probably be removed
since it's already in the pool's head.
In commit fb117e6a8 ("MEDIUM: memory: don't let pool_put_to_cache() free
the objects itself") pool_evict_from_cache() was introduced with no
argument, yet the only call place passes it the pool, the pointer and
the index number!
Let's remove these as they even let the reader think that the function
does something specific to the current pool while it's not the case.
This patch renames all existing uri-normalizers into a more consistent naming
scheme:
1. The part of the URI that is being touched.
2. The modification being performed as an explicit verb.
This normalizer merges `../` path segments with the predecing segment, removing
both the preceding segment and the `../`.
Empty segments do not receive special treatment. The `merge-slashes` normalizer
should be executed first.
See GitHub Issue #714.
When a thread ends its harmeless period, we must only consider running
threads when testing threads_want_rdv_mask mask. To do so, we reintroduce
all_threads_mask mask in the bitwise operation (It was removed to fix a
deadlock).
Note that for now it is useless because there is no way to stop threads or
to have threads reserved for another task. But it is safer this way to avoid
bugs in the future.
A previous patch was pushed to fix a deadlock when an isolated thread ends
its harmless period (a9a9e9aac ["BUG/MEDIUM: thread: Fix a deadlock if an
isolated thread is marked as harmless"]). But, unfortunately, the fix is
incomplete. The same must be done in the outer loop, in
thread_harmless_end() function. The current thread must be ignored when
threads_want_rdv_mask mask is tested.
This patch must also be backported as far as 2.0.
This library is required for the subsequent patch which adds
the JSON query possibility.
It is necessary to change the include statement in "src/mjson.c"
because the imported includes in haproxy are in "include/import"
orig: #include "mjson.h"
new: #include <import/mjson.h>
ub64dec and ub64enc are the base64url equivalent of b64dec and base64
converters. base64url encoding is the "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet"
variant of base64 encoding. It is also used in in JWT (JSON Web Token)
standard.
RFC1421 mention in base64.c file is deprecated so it was replaced with
RFC4648 to which existing converters, base64/b64dec, still apply.
Example:
HAProxy:
http-request return content-type text/plain lf-string %[req.hdr(Authorization),word(2,.),ub64dec]
Client:
Token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyIjoiZm9vIiwia2V5IjoiY2hhZTZBaFhhaTZlIn0.5VsVj7mdxVvo1wP5c0dVHnr-S_khnIdFkThqvwukmdg
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" http://haproxy.local
{"user":"foo","key":"chae6AhXai6e"}
Allocation error are now handled in bind_conf_alloc() functions. Thus
callers, when not already done, are also updated to catch NULL return value.
This patch may be backported (at least partially) to all stable
versions. However, it only fix errors durung configuration parsing. Thus it
is not mandatory.
Add the trace support for the checks. Only tcp-check based health-checks are
supported, including the agent-check.
In traces, the first argument is always a check object. So it is easy to get
all info related to the check. The tcp-check ruleset, the conn-stream and
the connection, the server state...
Olivier spotted that I messed up during a rebase of commit 92c059c2a
("MINOR: atomic: implement native BTS/BTR for x86"), losing the x86
version of the BTS/BTR and leaving the generic version for it instead
of having this block in the #else. Since this variant is not used for
now it was easy to overlook it. Let's re-implement it here.
The time initialization was made a bit complex because we rely on a
dummy negative argument to reset all fields, leaving no distinction
between process-level initialization and thread-level initialization.
This patch changes this by introducing two functions, one for the
process and the second one for the threads. This removes ambigous
test and makes sure that the relevant fields are always initialized
exactly once. This also offers a better solution to the bug fixed in
commit b48e7c001 ("BUG/MEDIUM: time: make sure to always initialize
the global tick") as there is no more special values for global_now_ms.
It's simple enough to be backported if any other time-related issues
are encountered in stable versions in the future.
It was only used by freq_ctr and is not used anymore. In addition the
local curr_sec_ms was removed, as well as the equivalent extern
definitions which did not exist anymore either.
update_freq_ctr_period() was still not very clean and didn't wait for
the rotation lock to be dropped before trying again, thus maintaining
the contention at a high level. In addition, the rotation update was
made in three steps, which are not very efficient in terms of bus
cycles.
Here the wait loop was reworked so that the fast path remains short
and that the contended path waits for the lock to be dropped before
attempting another write, but it only waits a relax cycle before
attempting a read. The rotation block was simplified to remove a
test that was already validated by the first loop, and so that the
retrieval of the current period, its reset and its increment are all
performed in a single atomic op and the store to the previous period
is performed immediately after.
All this results in significantly smaller code for the inline function
(~1kB total) and a shorter critical path.
When counters are rotated, there is contention between the threads which
can slow down the operation of the thread performing the rotation. Let's
apply a cpu_relax there to let the first thread finish faster.
It remains cumbersome to preserve two versions of the freq counters and
two different internal clocks just for this. In addition, the savings
from using two different mechanisms are not that important as the only
saving is a divide that is replaced by a multiply, but now thanks to
the freq_ctr_total() unificaiton the code could also be simplified to
optimize it in case of constants.
This patch turns all non-period freq_ctr functions to static inlines
which call the period-based ones with a period of 1 second. A direct
benefit is that a single internal clock is now needed for any counter
and that they now all rely on ticks.
These 1-second counters are essentially used to report request rates
and to enforce a connection rate limitation in listeners. It was
verified that these continue to work like before.
Both structures are identical except the name of the field starting
the period and its description. Let's call them all freq_ctr and the
period's start "curr_tick" which is generic.
This is only a temporary change and fields are expected to remain
the same with no code change (verified).
There was still no function to compute a wait time for periods, let's
implement it on top of freq_ctr_total() as we'll soon need it for the
per-second one. The divide here is applied on the frequency so that it
will be replaced with a reciprocal multiply when constant.
This one is the easiest to implement, it just requires a call and a
divide of the result. Anti-flapping correction for low-rates was
preserved.
Now calls using a constant period will be able to use a reciprocal
multiply for the period instead of a divide.
Most of the functions designed to read a counter over a period go through
the same complex loop and only differ in the way they use the returned
values, so it was worth implementing all this into freq_ctr_total() which
returns the total number of events over a period so that the caller can
finish its operation using a divide or a remaining time calculation. As
a special case, read_freq_ctr_period() doesn't take pending events but
requires to enable an anti-flapping correction at very low frequencies.
Thus the function implements it when pend<0.
Thanks to this function it will be possible to reimplement the other ones
as inline and merge the per-second ones with the arbitrary period ones
without always adding the cost of a 64 bit divide.
Some variables are mostly read (mostly pointers) but they tend to be
merged with other ones in the same cache line, slowing their access down
in multi-thread setups. This patch declares an empty, aligned variable
in a section called "read_mostly". This will force a cache-line alignment
on this section so that any variable declared in it will be certain to
avoid false sharing with other ones. The section will be eliminated at
link time if not used.
A __read_mostly attribute was added to compiler.h to ease use of this
section.
HA_SECTION() is used as an attribute to force a section name. This is
required because OSX prepends "__DATA, " in front of the declaration.
HA_SECTION_START() and HA_SECTION_STOP() are used as post-attribute on
variable declaration to designate the section start/end (needed only on
OSX, empty on others).
For platforms with an obsolete linker, all macros are left empty. It would
possibly still work on some of them but this will not be needed anyway.
Due to length restrictions on OSX the initcall sections are called "i_"
there while they're called "init_" on other OSes. However the start and
end of sections are still called "__start_init_" and "__stop_init_",
which forces to have distinct code between the OSes. Let's switch everyone
to "i_" and rename the symbols accordingly.
The trace() function is convenient to avoid calling trace() when traces
are not enabled, but there starts to be some callers which place complex
expressions in their trace calls, which results in all of them to be
evaluated before being passed as arguments to the trace() function. This
needlessly wastes precious CPU cycles.
Let's change the function for a macro, so that the arguments are now only
evaluated when the surce has traces enabled. However having a generic
macro being called "trace()" can easily cause conflicts with innocent
code so we rename it "_trace".
Just doing this has resulted in a 2.5% increase of the HTTP/1 request rate.
Interestingly, all arrays used to declare patterns were read-write while
only hard-coded. Let's mark them const so that they move from data to
rodata and don't risk to experience false sharing.
This argument is not being used inside the function (and the functions
themselves are unused as well) and not documented. Its purpose is not clear.
Just remove it.
With latest commit f50906519 ("MEDIUM: fd: merge fdtab[].ev and state
for FD_EV_* and FD_POLL_* into state") one occurrence of a pair of
chars was missed in fd_stop_both(), resulting in the operation to
fail if the upper flags were set. Interestingly it managed to fail
2 tests in all setups in the CI while all used to work fine on my
local machines. Probably that the reason is that the chars had enough
room above them for the CAS to fail then refill "old" overwriting the
upper parts of the stack, and that thanks to this the subsequent tests
worked. With ASAN being used on lots of tests, it very likely caught
it but used to only report failed tests with no more info.
No backport is needed, as this was never released nor backported.
The current BTS/BTR operations on x86 are ugly because they rely on a
CAS, so they may be unfair and take time to converge. Fortunately,
where they are currently used (mostly FDs) the contention is expected
to be rare (mostly listeners). But this also limits their use to such
few low-load cases.
On x86 there is a set of BTS/BTR instructions which help for this,
but before the FD's state migrated to 32 bits there was little use of
them since they do not exist in 8 bits.
Now at least it makes sense to use them, at the very least in order
to significantly reduce the code size (one BTS instead of a CMPXCHG
loop). The implementation relies on modern gcc's ability to return
condition flags and limit code inflation and register spilling. The
fall back is retained on the old implementation for all other situations
(inappropriate target size or non-capable compiler). The code shrank
by 1.6 kB on the fast path.
As expected, for now on up to 4 threads there is no measurable difference
of performance.
Probably due to the result of an old copy-paste, HA_ATOMIC_BTS/BTR were
still implemented using the __sync_* builtins instead of the more
modern __atomic_* which allow to specify the memory model. Let's update
this to use the newer there and also implement the relaxed variants
(which are not used for now).
This patch replaces roughly all occurrences of an HA_ATOMIC_ADD(&foo, 1)
or HA_ATOMIC_SUB(&foo, 1) with the equivalent HA_ATOMIC_INC(&foo) and
HA_ATOMIC_DEC(&foo) respectively. These are 507 changes over 45 files.
Most ADD/SUB callers use them for a single unit (e.g. refcounts) and
it's a pain to always pass ",1". Let's add them to simplify the API.
However we currently don't add any return value. If needed in the future
better report zero/non-zero than a real value for the sake of efficiency
at the instruction level.
The fetch_and_xxx variant is often missing for add/sub/and/or. In fact
it was only provided for ADD under the name XADD which corresponds to
the x86 instruction name. But for destructive operations like AND and
OR it's missing even more as it's not possible to know the value before
modifying it.
This patch explicitly adds HA_ATOMIC_FETCH_{OR,AND,ADD,SUB} which
cover these standard operations, and renames XADD to FETCH_ADD (there
were only 6 call places).
In the future, backport of fixes involving such operations could simply
remap FETCH_ADD(x) to XADD(x), FETCH_SUB(x) to XADD(-x), and for the
OR/AND if needed, these could possibly be done using BTS/BTR.
It's worth noting that xchg could have been renamed to fetch_and_store()
but xchg already has well understood semantics and it wasn't needed to
go further.
In order to make sure these ones will not be used anymore in an expression,
let's make them always void. New callers will now be forced to use the
explicit _FETCH variant if required.
Currently our atomic ops return a value but it's never known whether
the fetch is done before or after the operation, which causes some
confusion each time the value is desired. Let's create an explicit
variant of these operations suffixed with _FETCH to explicitly mention
that the fetch occurs after the operation, and make use of it at the
few call places.
Gcc 10.2 implements outline atomics on aarch64. The replace all inline
atomic ops with a function call that checks if the machine supports LSE
atomics. This comes with a small cost but allows modern machines to scale
much better than with the old LL/SC ones even when built for full 8.0
compatibility.
This patch enables the use of the __atomic_compare_exchange() builtin
for the double-word CAS when detected as available instead of using the
hand-written LL/SC version. The extra cost is negligible because we do
very few DWCAS operations (essentially FD migrations and shared pools)
so the cost is low but under high contention it can still be beneficial.
As expected no performance difference was measured in either direction
on 4-core machines with this change.
This could be backported to 2.3 if it was shown that FD migrations were
representing a significant source of contention, but for now it does
not appear to be needed.
There is a function called fd_write_frag_line() that's essentially used
by loggers and that is used to write an atomic message line over a file
descriptor using writev(). However a lock is required around the writev()
call to prevent messages from multiple threads from being interleaved.
Till now a SPIN_TRYLOCK was used on a dedicated lock that was common to
all FDs. This is quite not pretty as if there are multiple output pipes
to collect logs, there will be quite some contention. Now that there
are empty flags left in the FD state and that we can finally use atomic
ops on them, let's add a flag to indicate the FD is locked for exclusive
access by a syscall. At least the locking will now be on an FD basis and
not the whole process, so we can remove the log_lock.
No need to keep this flag apart any more, let's merge it into the global
state. The bit was not cleared in fd_insert() because the only user is
the function used to create and atomically send a log message to a pipe
FD, which never registers the fd. Here we clear it nevertheless for the
sake of clarity.
Note that with an extra cleaning pass we could have a bit number
here and simply use a BTS to test and set it.
No need to keep this flag apart any more, let's merge it into the global
state. The CLI's output state was extended to 6 digits and the linger/cloned
flags moved inside the parenthesis.
For a long time we've had fdtab[].ev and fdtab[].state which contain two
arbitrary sets of information, one is mostly the configuration plus some
shutdown reports and the other one is the latest polling status report
which also contains some sticky error and shutdown reports.
These ones used to be stored into distinct chars, complicating certain
operations and not even allowing to clearly see concurrent accesses (e.g.
fd_delete_orphan() would set the state to zero while fd_insert() would
only set the event to zero).
This patch creates a single uint with the two sets in it, still delimited
at the byte level for better readability. The original FD_EV_* values
remained at the lowest bit levels as they are also known by their bit
value. The next step will consist in merging the remaining bits into it.
The whole bits are now cleared both in fd_insert() and _fd_delete_orphan()
because after a complete check, it is certain that in both cases these
functions are the only ones touching these areas. Indeed, for
_fd_delete_orphan(), the thread_mask has already been zeroed before a
poller can call fd_update_event() which would touch the state, so it
is certain that _fd_delete_orphan() is alone. Regarding fd_insert(),
only one thread will get an FD at any moment, and it as this FD has
already been released by _fd_delete_orphan() by definition it is certain
that previous users have definitely stopped touching it.
Strictly speaking there's no need for clearing the state again in
fd_insert() but it's cheap and will remove some doubts during some
troubleshooting sessions.
In preparation of merging FD_POLL* and FD_EV*, this only changes the
value of FD_POLL_* to use bits 8-15 (the second byte). The size of the
field has been temporarily extended to 32 bits already, as well as
the temporary variables that carry the new composite value inside
fd_update_events(). The resulting fdtab entry becomes temporarily
unaligned. All places making access to .ev or FD_POLL_* were carefully
inspected to make sure they were safe regarding this change. Only one
temporary update was needed for the "show fd" code. The code was only
slightly inflated at this step.
The former was not used and the second was used only as a positive mask
of the flags to keep instead of having the flags that are updated. Both
were removed in favor of a new FD_POLL_UPDT_MASK that only mentions the
updated flags. This will ease merging of state and ev later.
This patch registers the parsed file and the line where a log server
is declared to make those information available in configuration
post check.
Those new informations were added on error messages probed resolving
ring names on post configuration check.
Define MODE_DIAG which is used to run haproxy in diagnostic mode. This
mode is used to output extra warnings about possible configuration
blunder or sub-optimal usage. It can be activated with argument '-dD'.
A new output function ha_diag_warning is implemented reserved for
diagnostic output. It serves to standardize the format of diagnostic
messages.
A macro HA_DIAG_WARN_COND is also available to automatically check if
diagnostic mode is on before executing the diagnostic check.
Historically, an option was added to wait for the request payload (option
http-buffer-request). This option has 2 drawbacks. First, it is an ON/OFF
option for the whole proxy. It cannot be enabled on demand depending on the
message. Then, as its name suggests, it only works on the request side. The
only option to wait for the response payload was to write a dedicated
filter. While it is an acceptable solution for complex applications, it is a
bit overkill to simply match strings in the body.
To make everyone happy, this patch adds a dedicated HTTP action to wait for
the message payload, for the request or the response depending it is used in
an http-request or an http-response ruleset. The time to wait is
configurable and, optionally, the minimum payload size to have before stop
to wait.
Both the http action and the old http analyzer rely on the same internal
function.
L6 sample fetches are now ignored when called from an HTTP proxy. Thus, a
warning is emitted during the startup if such usage is detected. It is true
for most ACLs and for log-format strings. Unfortunately, it is a bit painful
to do so for sample expressions.
This patch relies on the commit "MINOR: action: Use a generic function to
check validity of an action rule list".
The check_action_rules() function is now used to check the validity of an
action rule list. It is used from check_config_validity() function to check
L5/6/7 rulesets.
It is now possible to perform HTTP upgrades on a TCP stream from the
frontend side. To do so, a tcp-request content rule must be defined with the
switch-mode action, specifying the mode (for now, only http is supported)
and optionnaly the proto (h1 or h2).
This way it could be possible to set HTTP directives on a TCP frontend which
will only be evaluated if an upgrade is performed. This new way to perform
HTTP upgrades should replace progressively the old way, consisting to route
the request to an HTTP backend. And it should be also a good start to remove
all HTTP processing from tcp-request content rules.
This action is terminal, it stops the ruleset evaluation. It is only
available on proxy with the frontend capability.
The configuration manual has been updated accordingly.
The code responsible to perform an HTTP upgrade from a TCP stream is moved
in a dedicated function, stream_set_http_mode().
The stream_set_backend() function is slightly updated, especially to
correctly set the request analysers.
Now allocation and initialization of HTTP transactions are performed in a
unique function. Historically, there were two functions because the same TXN
was reset for K/A connections in the legacy HTTP mode. Now, in HTX, K/A
connections are handled at the mux level. A new stream, and thus a new TXN,
is created for each request. In addition, the function responsible to end
the TXN is now also reponsible to release it.
So, now, http_create_txn() and http_destroy_txn() must be used to create and
destroy an HTTP transaction.
MX_FL_NO_UPG flag may now be set on a multiplexer to explicitly disable
upgrades from this mux. For now, it is set on the FCGI multiplexer because
it is not supported and there is no upgrade on backend-only multiplexers. It
is also set on the H2 multiplexer because it is clearly not supported.
Historically we've used SOL_IP/SOL_IPV6/SOL_TCP everywhere as the socket
level value in getsockopt() and setsockopt() but as we've seen over time
it regularly broke the build and required to have them defined to their
IPPROTO_* equivalent. The Linux ip(7) man page says:
Using the SOL_IP socket options level isn't portable; BSD-based
stacks use the IPPROTO_IP level.
And it indeed looks like a pure linuxism inherited from old examples and
documentation. strace also reports SOL_* instead of IPPROTO_*, which does
not help... A check to linux/in.h shows they have the same values. Only
SOL_SOCKET and other non-IP values make sense since there is no IPPROTO
equivalent.
Let's get rid of this annoying confusion by removing all redefinitions of
SOL_IP/IPV6/TCP and using IPPROTO_* instead, just like any other operating
system. This also removes duplicated tests for the same value.
Note that this should not result in exposing syscalls to other OSes
as the only ones that were still conditionned to SOL_IPV6 were for
IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS which already had an IPPROTO_IPV6 equivalent, and
IPV6_TRANSPARENT which is Linux-specific.
Very often we use "int" where negative numbers are not needed (and can
further cause trouble) just because it's painful to type "unsigned int"
or "unsigned", or ugly to use in function arguments. Similarly sometimes
chars would absolutely need to be signed but nobody types "signed char".
Let's add a few aliases for such types and make them part of the standard
internal API so that over time we can get used to them and get rid of
horrible definitions. A comment also reminds some commonly available
types and their properties regarding other types.
In order to process samples from the command line interface we'll need
rules as well, and these rules will have to be marked as coming from
the CLI parser. This new origin is used for this.
In order to prepare for supporting calling sample expressions from the
CLI, let's create a new CLI_PARSER parsing context. This one supports
constants and internal samples only.
In order to process samples from the config file we'll need rules as
well, and these rules will have to be marked as coming from the
config parser. This new origin is used for this.
