Support logformat %codes in error page templates (#365)
... using `@Squid{%code}` syntax which allows Squid to distinguish newly
supported logformat %codes like `%http::<rm` from classic single-letter
error page %codes like `%M` (that are never enclosed in `@Squid{}`).
This improvement gives error pages access to more information about the
failed transaction and paves the way towards unifying the two partially
duplicated %code interfaces (and underlying code).
Some single-letter error page %codes have similar logformat %codes. For
example, error page `%i` will often be replaced with the same characters
as `@Squid{%>a}`. However, admins should not rely on expansion
equivalence because most codes may be rendered differently under some
conditions, and the two rendering algorithms are not kept in sync. For
example, error page `%i` does not account for log_uses_indirect_client.
Only a few letters remain unused by the error page %codes. Most
(possibly all) new codes should be added to the logformat instead,
within an appropriate error_page:: namespace if needed.
Side effects of updating error page parsing and assembly code include:
* Leave bad %codes in deny_info URLs instead of removing them. This
helps in triage and is consistent with how bad %codes are already
handled in error pages.
* Report bad deny_info %codes at startup and reconfiguration. Startup
errors should eventually become fatal, just like logformat errors are.
* Report bad error page %codes at startup and reconfiguration (except
for `%;` sequences found in all existing error pages templates).
* Fixed parsing of non-default error-details.txt that did not end with
an empty line.
* Fixed unterminated c-string printing when reporting error-details.txt
parsing problems.
This assertion could be triggered by various swapout failures for
ufs/aufs/diskd cache_dir entries.
The bug was caused by 4310f8b change related to storeSwapOutFileClosed()
method. Before that change, swapout failures resulted in
StoreEntry::swap_status set to SWAPOUT_NONE, preventing
another/asserting iteration of StoreEntry::swapOut().
This fix adds SWAPOUT_FAILED swap status for marking swapout failures
(instead of reviving and abusing SWAPOUT_NONE), making the code more
reliable.
Also removed storeSwapOutFileNotify() implementation. We should not
waste time on maintaining an unused method that now contains conflicting
assertions: swappingOut() and !hasDisk().

Fixed squidclient authentication after 4b19fa9 (Bug 4843 pt2) (#373)
* squidclient -U sent Proxy-Authorization instead of Authorization.
Code duplication bites again.
* squidclient -U and -u could sent random garbage after the correct
[Proxy-]Authorization value as exposed by Coverity CID 1441999: Unused

analyzing its report lead to discovery of the two bugs fixed here.
Also reduced authentication-related code duplication.
Bug 4864: !Comm::MonitorsRead assertion in maybeReadVirginBody() (#351)
This assertion is probably triggered when Squid retries/reforwards
server-first or step2+ bumped connections (after they fail).
Retrying/reforwarding such pinned connections is wrong because the
corresponding client-to-Squid TLS connection was negotiated based on the
now-failed Squid-to-server TLS connection, and there is no mechanism to
ensure that the new Squid-to-server TLS connection will have exactly the
same properties. Squid should forward the error to client instead.
Also fixed peer selection code that could return more than one PINNED
paths with only the first path having the destination of the actual
pinned connection. To reduce the chances of similar future bugs, and to
polish the code, peer selection now returns a nil path to indicate a
PINNED decision. After all, the selection code decides to use a pinned
connection (whatever it is) rather than a specific pinned _destination_.
Added %proxy_protocol::>h logformat code for logging received PROXY
protocol TLV values and passing them to adaptation services and helpers.
For simplicity, this implementation treats TLV values as text and reuses
the existing HTTP header field logging interfaces. Support for binary
TLV value logging can be added later if needed.
Also support logging of metadata extracted from the fixed portion of a
PROXY protocol header and referenced as "pseudo headers": :command,
:version, :src_addr, :dst_addr, :src_port, and :dst_port.
Also fixed several bugs in the old PROXY protocol v1/v2 parsing code:
* Buffer overrun in ConnStateData::parseProxy2p0(). The available
local SBuf could be less than sizeof(pax), resulting in copying
excessive bytes with SBuf::rawContent().
* Incorrect processing of malformed v1 headers lacking CRLF in
ConnStateData::parseProxy1p0(), which waited for more data
even if the buffer size already exceeded the maximum v1 header
size.
* Incorrect processing of partial-buffered v1 headers, when only
the initial (magic) part of the header has been received. The old
code resulted with an error instead of waiting for more data in this
case.
* Incorrect v1 header framing for proto=UNKNOWN headers.
The code used only LF while the protocol requires CRLF for it.
* Do not use address information from v2 header if the header
proto is UNSPEC.
* Incorrect v1 magic expectations (a 6-character `PROXY ` instead of the
proper 5-character `PROXY` sequence) leading to mishandling of
non-PROXY input. For example, receiving `PROXY\r\n` would result in
"need more data" outcome (and long timeout) instead of an immediate
error.
Also eliminated code duplication in HttpHeader::getByNameListMember()
and HttpHeader::getListMember(), moving the common part into a
separate getListMember() method.
Also eliminated code duplication and probably fixed a bug with applying
client_netmask parameter in ConnStateData constructor. The mask should
not be applied to localhost and IPv6 addresses but was.
Also parse PROXY protocol v2 LOCAL addresses (for logging purposes). In
compliance with the PROXY protocol specs, LOCAL addresses are still
unused for connection routing.
Restored the natural order of the following two notifications:
* BodyConsumer::noteMoreBodyDataAvailable() and
* BodyConsumer::noteBodyProductionEnded() or noteBodyProducerAborted().
Commit b599471 unintentionally reordered those two notifications. Client
kids (and possibly other BodyConsumers) relied on the natural order to
end their work. If an HttpStateData job was done with the Squid-to-peer
connection and only waiting for the last adapted body bytes, it would
get stuck and leak many objects. This use case was not tested during b599471 work.
Reuse reserved Negotiate and NTLM helpers after an idle timeout (#59)
Squid can be killed or maimed by enough clients that start multi-step
connection authentication but never follow up with the second HTTP
request while keeping their HTTP connection open. Affected helpers
remain in the "reserved" state and cannot be reused for other clients.
Observed helper exhaustion has happened without any malicious intent.
To address the problem, we add a helper reservation timeout. Timed out
reserved helpers may be reused by new clients/connections. To minimize
problems with slow-to-resume-authentication clients, timed out reserved
helpers are not reused until there are no unreserved running helpers
left. The reservations are tracked using unique integer IDs.
Also fixed Squid crashes caused by unexpected helper termination -- the
raw UserRequest::authserver pointer could point to a deleted helper.

Cleanup and simplify unit tests (#336)

experience pruning existing unit tests.
* Only the test logic files actually need to be distributed by
a test. All files being tested are supposed to be distributed
from elsewhere and the test should rely on that to prevent
future issues like the base/RefCount.h bug mentioned below.
* Starting to deprecate TESTSOURCES which is causing more

used to provide are largely superseded by the stub mechanisms.
Add missing stub files necessary for pruning dependencies. Also

Fix base/RefCount.h distribution. This file was not included in
the base/libbase.la dependency list but indirectly being
distributed by the unit-test existence. Which in some builds
could cause it not to exist in generated minimal tarballs.
Systems which have been partially 'IPv6 disabled' may allow
sockets to be opened and used but missing the IPv6 loopback

Implement the outstanding TODO to detect such failures and
disable IPv6 support properly within Squid when they are found.
This should fix bug 4915 auth_param helper startup and similar
external_acl_type helper issues. For security such helpers are
not permitted to use the machine default IP address which is
globally accessible.
Fail Rock swapout if the disk dropped some of the write requests (#352)
Detecting dropped writes earlier is more than a TODO: If the last entry
write was successful, the whole entry becomes available for hits
immediately. IpcIoFile::checkTimeouts() that runs every 7 seconds
(IpcIoFile::Timeout) would eventually notify Rock about the timeout,
allowing Rock to release the failed entry, but that notification may
be too late.
The precise outcome of hitting an entry with a missing on-disk slice is
unknown (because the bug was detected by temporary hit validation code
that turned such hits into misses), but SWAPFAIL is the best we could
hope for.
Initialize StoreMapSlice when reserving a new cache slot (#350)
Rock sets the StoreMapSlice::next field when sending a slice to disk. To
avoid writing slice A twice, Rock allocates a new slice B to prime
A.next right before writing A. Scheduling A's writing and, sometimes,
lack of data to fill B create a gap between B's allocation and B's
writing (which sets B.next). During that time, A.next points to B, but
B.next is untouched.
If writing slice A or swapout in general fails, the chain of failed
entry slices (now containing both A and B) is freed. If untouched B.next
contains garbage, then freeChainAt() adds "random" slices after B to the
free slice pool. Subsequent swapouts use those incorrectly freed slices,
effectively overwriting portions of random cache entries, corrupting the
cache.
How did B.next get dirty in the first place? freeChainAt() cleans the
slices it frees, but Rock also makes direct noteFreeMapSlice() calls.
Shared memory cache may have avoided this corruption because it makes no
such calls.
Ipc::StoreMap::prepFreeSlice() now clears allocated slices. Long-term,
we may be able to move free slice management into StoreMap to automate
this cleanup.
Also simplified and polished slot allocation code a little, removing the
Rock::IoState::reserveSlotForWriting() middleman. This change also
improves the symmetry between Rock and shared memory cache code.
Before this fix, Squid sometimes logged the following error:
BUG: Worker I/O pop queue for ... overflow: ...
The bug could result in truncated hit responses, reduced hit ratio, and,
combined with buggy lost I/O handling code (GitHub PR #352), even cache
corruption.
The bug could be triggered by the following sequence of events:
* Disker dequeues one I/O request from the worker push queue.
* Worker pushes more I/O requests to that disker, reaching 1024 requests
in its push queue (QueueCapacity or just "N" below). No overflow here!
* Worker process is suspended (or is just too busy to pop I/O results).
* Disker satisfies all 1+N requests, adding each to the worker pop queue
and overflows that queue when adding the last processed request.
This fix limits worker push so that the sum of all pending requests
never exceeds (pop) queue capacity. This approach will continue to work
even if diskers are enhanced to dequeue multiple requests for seek
optimization and/or priority-based scheduling.
Pop queue and push queue can still accommodate N requests each. The fix
appears to reduce supported disker "concurrency" levels from 2N down to
N pending I/O requests, reducing queue memory utilization. However, the
actual reduction is from N+1 to N: Since a worker pops all its satisfied
requests before queuing a new one, there could never be more than N+1
pending requests (N in the push queue and 1 worked on by the disker).
We left the BUG reporting and handling intact. There are no known bugs
in that code now. If the bug never surfaces again, it can be replaced
with code that translates low-level queue overflow exception into a
user-friendly TextException.

Fixed forward_max_tries documentation and implementation (#277)
Before 1c8f25b, FwdState::n_tries counted the total number of forwarding
attempts, including pinned and persistent connection retries. Since that
revision, it started counting just those retries. What should n_tries
count? The counter is used to honor the forward_max_tries directive, but
that directive was documented to limit the number of _different_ paths
to try. Neither 1c8f25b~1 nor 1c8f25b code matched that documentation!
Continuing to count just pinned and persistent connection retries (as in 1c8f25b) would violate any reasonable forward_max_tries intent and admin
expectations. There are two ways to fix this problem, synchronizing code
and documentation:
* Count just the attempts to use a different forwarding path, matching
forward_max_tries documentation but not what Squid has ever done. This
approach makes it difficult for an admin to limit the total number of
forwarding attempts in environments where, say, the second attempt is
unlikely to succeed and will just incur wasteful delays (Squid bug
4788 report is probably about one of such use cases). Also,
implementing this approach may be more difficult because it requires
adding a new counter for retries and, for some interpretations of
"different", even a container of previously visited paths.
* Count all forwarding attempts (as before 1c8f25b) and adjust
forward_max_tries documentation to match this historical behavior.
This approach does not have known unique flaws.
Also fixed FwdState::n_tries off-by-one comparison bug discussed during
Squid bug 4788 triage.
Also fixed admin concern behind Squid bug 4788 "forward_max_tries 1 does

actually excluded pconn retries, technically invalidating the bug
report, the admin now has a knob to limit those retries.

When dealing with an HTTP request header that Squid can parse but that
contains request URI length exceeding the 8K limit, Squid should log the
URL (prefix) instead of a dash. Logging the URL helps with triaging
these unusual requests. The older %ru (LFT_REQUEST_URI) was already
logging these huge URLs, but %>ru (LFT_CLIENT_REQ_URI) was logging a
dash. Now both log the URL (or its prefix).
As a side effect, %>ru now also logs error:request-too-large,
error:transaction-end-before-headers and other Squid-specific
pseudo-URLs, as appropriate.
Also refactored request- and URI-recording code to reduce chances of
similar inconsistencies reappearing in the future.
Also, honor strip_query_terms in %ru for large URLs. Not stripping query
string in %ru was a security problem.
Also fixed a bug with "redirected" flag calculation in
ClientHttpRequest::handleAdaptedHeader(). In general, http->url and
request->url should not be compared directly, because the latter always
passes through uri_whitespace cleanup, while the former does not.
Also fixed a bug with possibly wrong %ru after redirection:
ClientHttpRequest::log_uri was not updated in this case.
Also initialize AccessLogEntry::request and AccessLogEntry::notes ASAP.
Before this change, these fields were initialized in
ClientHttpRequest::doCallouts(). It is better to initialize them just
after the request object is created so that ACLs, running before
doCallouts(), could have them at hand. There are at least three such
ACLs: force_request_body_continuation, spoof_client_ip and
spoof_client_ip.
Also synced %ru and %>ru documentation with the current code.
A nil pointer is the proper way to indicate a missing heap-allocated
object in C++. Removing NullStoreEntry simplifies and optimizes code.
This removal also brings us one step closer to removing all virtual

Also un-virtualized a few StoreEntry-only methods to optimize their
callers.
Optimization: Fewer memory (re)allocations for HTTP headers (#239)
Tests revealed multiple fresh memory allocations/deallocations while
storing small (few fields) HTTP headers. Many popular sites use larger
headers (15-30 fields). To avoid expensive memory operations:
1. Pool all std::vector<HttpHeaderEntries*> memory allocations.
2. Prevent reallocations (for HTTP headers with fewer than 32 fields).
This optimization deals with storing the header index. It does not
affect how individual header fields are stored.
Logging client "handshake" bytes is useful in at least two contexts:
* Runtime traffic bypass and bumping/splicing decisions. Identifying
popular clients like Skype for Business (that uses a TLS handshake but
then may not speak TLS) is critical for handling their traffic
correctly. Squid does not have enough ACLs to interrogate most TLS
handshake aspects. Adding more ACLs may still be a good idea, but
initial sketches for SfB handshakes showed rather complex
ACLs/configurations, _and_ no reasonable ACLs would be able to handle
non-TLS handshakes. An external ACL receiving the handshake is in a
much better position to analyze/fingerprint it according to custom
admin needs.
* A logged handshake can be used to analyze new/unusual traffic or even
trigger security-related alarms.
The current support is limited to cases where Squid was saving handshake
for other reasons. With enough demand, this initial support can be
extended to all protocols and port configurations.

practices. The old Squid code contains a lot of risky buffer
size assumptions and implicit assumptions about C-string strcat,
strncat and snprintf changes when operating on those buffers -
many can result in output truncation. Squid's use of -Werror
makes these many issues all go from warnings to outright
compile failures.
Rather than just extending the char* buffer sizes not to
truncate this work seeks to actually remove the issues
permanently by converting to SBuf and updated Squid coding
styles.
The C++1z compilers (GCC-8 and Clang 4.0) are beginning to warn
about C functions memset/memcpy/memmove being used on class
objects which lack "trivial copy" constructor or assignment
operator - their use is potentially unsafe where anything more
complex than trivial copy/blit is required. A number of classes
in Squid are safely copied or initialized with those functions
for now but again the -Werror makes these hard errors.
Completing affected objects conversion from C to C++ code avoids
any deeply hidden issues or adding compiler exceptions to
silence the warnings.

Optimization: Do not create/configure ACLFilledChecklist in vain (#232)
While client_db is required for client-side pools to work, it may be
enabled for other reasons, without any client-side pools configured. We
should not create and configure useless ACLFilledChecklist objects
because those operations are already not trivial today and have a
a tendency of becoming more expensive with time.
