After every release we say that MIN/MAX should be changed to be an
expression that only evaluates each operand once, and before every
version we forget to change it and we recheck that the code doesn't
misuse them. Let's fix them now.
Compilation on solaris fails because of usage of names reserved on that
platform, i.e. 'queue' and 's_addr'.
This patch redefines 'queue' as '_queue' and renames 's_addr' to
'srv_addr' which fixes compilation for now.
Future plan: rename 'queue' in code base so define can be removed again.
Backporting: 2.9, 2.8
Same as now_mono_time(), but for fast queries (less accurate)
Relies on coarse clock source (also known as fast clock source on
some systems).
Fallback to now_mono_time() if coarse source is not supported on the system.
On Linux the interval before starting to send TCP keep-alive packets
is defined by TCP_KEEPIDLE. MacOS has an equivalent with TCP_KEEPIDLE,
which also uses seconds as a unit, so it's possible to simply remap the
definition of TCP_KEEPIDLE to TCP_KEEPALIVE there and get it to seamlessly
work. The other settings (interval and count) are not present, though.
MacOS can feed fc_rtt, fc_rttvar, fc_sacked, fc_lost and fc_retrans
so let's expose them on this platform.
Note that at the tcp(7) level, the API is slightly different, as
struct tcp_info is called tcp_connection_info and TCP_INFO is
called TCP_CONNECTION_INFO, so for convenience these ones were
defined to point to their equivalent. However there is a small
difference now in that tcpi_rtt is called tcpi_rttcur on this
platform, which forces us to make a special case for it before
other platforms.
In ticket #1413, the transfer of FDs couldn't correctly work on alpine
linux. After a few tests with musl on another distribution it seems to
be a limitation of this libc.
The number of FD that could be sent per sendmsg was set to 253, which
does not seem to work with musl, decreasing it 252 seems to work
better, so lets set this value everywhere since it does not have that
much impact.
This must be backported in every maintained version.
Many times core dumps reported by users who experience trouble are
difficult to exploit due to missing system libraries. Sometimes,
having just a list of loaded libraries and their respective addresses
can already provide some hints about some problems.
This patch makes a step in that direction by adding a new "show libs"
command that will try to enumerate the list of object files that are
loaded in memory, relying on the dynamic linker for this. It may also
be used to detect that some foreign code embarks other undesired libs
(e.g. some external Lua modules).
At the moment it's only supported on glibc when USE_DL is set, but it's
implemented in a way that ought to make it reasonably easy to be extended
to other platforms.
We'll use this glibc function to dump loaded libs. It's been
available since glibc-2.2.4, and as it requires dlpi headers defined
in link.h, it implicitly relies on dlfcn, thus we condition it to
USE_DL. Other operating systems or libc might have different
dependencies so let's stick to the bare minimum for now.
Apple libmalloc has its own notion of memory arenas as malloc_zone with
rich API having various callbacks for various allocations strategies but
here we just use the defaults.
In trim_all_pools, we advise to purge each zone as much as possible, called "greedy" mode.
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.
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").
-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.
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.
We've reached a point where the global pools represent a significant
bottleneck with threads. On a 64-core machine, the performance was
divided by 8 between 32 and 64 H2 connections only because there were
not enough entries in the local caches to avoid picking from the global
pools, and the contention on the list there was very high. It becomes
obvious that we need to have an array of lists, but that will require
more changes.
In parallel, standard memory allocators have improved, with tcmalloc
and jemalloc finding their ways through mainstream systems, and glibc
having upgraded to a thread-aware ptmalloc variant, keeping this level
of contention here isn't justified anymore when we have both the local
per-thread pool caches and a fast process-wide allocator.
For these reasons, this patch introduces a new compile time setting
CONFIG_HAP_NO_GLOBAL_POOLS which is set by default when threads are
enabled with thread local pool caches, and we know we have a fast
thread-aware memory allocator (currently set for glibc>=2.26). In this
case we entirely bypass the global pool and directly use the standard
memory allocator when missing objects from the local pools. It is also
possible to force it at compile time when a good allocator is used with
another setup.
It is still possible to re-enable the global pools using
CONFIG_HAP_GLOBAL_POOLS, if a corner case is discovered regarding the
operating system's default allocator, or when building with a recent
libc but a different allocator which provides other benefits but does
not scale well with threads.
This is in order to access malloc_trim() which is convenient after
clearing huge maps to reclaim memory. When this is detected, we also
define HA_HAVE_MALLOC_TRIM.
The type file is becoming a mess, half of it is for the proxy protocol,
another good part describes conn_streams and mux ops, it would deserve
being split again. At least it was reordered so that elements are easier
to find, with the PP-stuff left at the end. The MAX_SEND_FD macro was moved
to compat.h as it's said to be the value for Linux.
global.h was one of the messiest files, it has accumulated tons of
implicit dependencies and declares many globals that make almost all
other file include it. It managed to silence a dependency loop between
server.h and proxy.h by being well placed to pre-define the required
structs, forcing struct proxy and struct server to be forward-declared
in a significant number of files.
It was split in to, one which is the global struct definition and the
few macros and flags, and the rest containing the functions prototypes.
The UNIX_MAX_PATH definition was moved to compat.h.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
