BUG/MEDIUM: quic: prevent crash due to CRYPTO parsing error
A packet which contains several splitted and out of order CRYPTO frames
may be parsed multiple times to ensure it can be handled via ncbuf. Only
3 iterations can be performed to prevent excessive CPU usage.
There is a risk of crash if packet parsing is interrupted after maximum
iterations is reached, or no progress can be made on the ncbuf. This is
because <frm> may be dangling after list_for_each_entry_safe()
The crash occurs on qc_frm_free() invokation, on error path of
qc_parse_pkt_frms(). To fix it, always reset frm to NULL after
list_for_each_entry_safe() to ensure it is not dangling.
This should fix new report on github isue #2776. This regression has
been triggered by the following patch : 1767196d5b2d8d1e557f7b3911a940000166ecda

BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h2: try to wait for the peer to read the GOAWAY
When timeout http-keep-alive is very short (e.g. 10ms), it's possible
sometimes for a client to face truncated responses due to an early
close that happens while the system is still pushing the last data,
colliding with the client's WINDOW_UPDATEs that trigger RSTs.
Here we're trying to do better: first we send a GOAWAY on timeout, then
we wait up to clientfin/client timeout for the peer to react so that we
don't immediately close. This is sufficient to avoid truncation as soon
as the timeout is more than a few hundred ms.
It's not certain it should be backported, because it's a bit sensistive
and might possibly fall into certain edge cases.
BUG/MINOR: guid/server: ensure thread-safety on GUID insert/delete
Since 3.0, it is possible to assign a GUID to proxies, listeners and
servers. These objects are stored in a global tree guid_tree.
Proxies and listeners are static. However, servers may be added or
deleted at runtime, which imply that guid_tree must be protected. Fix
this by declaring a read-write lock to protect tree access.
For now, only guid_insert() and guid_remove() are protected using a
write lock. Outside of these, GUID tree is not accessed at runtime. If
server CLI commands are extended to support GUID as server identifier,
lookup operation should be extended with a read lock protection.
Note that during stat-file preloading, GUID tree is accessed for lookup.
However, as it is performed on startup which is single threaded, there
is no need for lock here. A BUG_ON() has been added to ensure this
precondition remains true.
This bug could caused a segfault when using dynamic servers with GUID.
However, it was never reproduced for now.
This must be backported up to 3.0. To avoid a conflict issue, the
previous cleanup patch can be merged before it.
For now, pat_ref struct are never freed, except during init in case of
error. The freeing is done directly in the init functions because we
don't have an helper for that.
No having an helper func to properly free pat_ref struct doesn't encourage
us to free unused pat_ref structs, plus it is error-prone if new dynamic
members are added to pat_ref struct in the future.
To fix that, let's add a pat_ref_free() helper func and use it where
relevant (which means only under pat_ref init function for now..)
OPTIM: pattern: use malloc() to initialize new pat_ref struct
As mentioned in the previous commit, in _pat_ref_new(), it was not
strictly needed to explicitly assign all struct members to 0 since
the struct was allocated with calloc() which does the zeroing for us.
However, it was verified that we already initialize all fields explictly,
thus there is no reason to keep using calloc() instead of malloc(). In
fact using malloc() is less expensive, so let's use that instead now.
pat_ref_newid() and pat_ref_new() are two functions to create and
initialize a pat_ref struct based on input parameters.
Both function perform the same generic allocation and initialization
for pat_ref struct, thus there is quite a lot of code redundancy.
This is error-prone if the pat_ref init sequence has to be updated at
some point.
To reduce maintenance costs, let's add a _pat_ref_new() helper func that
takes care of the generic allocation and base initialization for pat_ref
struct.
event_hdl_sub_list_empty() may be used to know if the subscription list
passed as argument is empty or not (ie: if there currently are any
subcribers or not). It can be useful to know if the subscription is empty
is order to avoid unecessary preparation work and skip event publishing to
save CPU time if we already know that no one is interested in tracking the
changes for a given subscription list.

The warn-blocked-traffic-after can be significantly lowered. In any
case, in order to be usable it must be well below the limit to have a
chance to emit exploitable traces before the watchdog finally fires.
Even configured at 1ms it looks very difficult to trigger it on a

DEBUG: wdt: better detect apparently locked up threads and warn about them
In order to help users detect when threads are behaving abnormally, let's
try to emit a warning when one is no longer making any progress. This will
allow to catch faulty situations more accurately, instead of occasionally
triggering just after the long task. It will also let users know that there
is something wrong with their configuration, and inspect the call trace to
figure whether they're using excessively long rules or Lua for example (the
usual warnings about lua-load vs lua-load-per-thread are still reported).
The warning will only be emitted for threads not yet marked as stuck so
as not to interfere with panic dumps and avoid sending a warning just
before a panic. A tainted flag is set when this happens however (0x2000).

MINOR: debug: add a function to dump a stuck thread
There's currently no way to just emit a warning informing that a thread
is stuck without crashing. This is a problem because sometimes users
would benefit from this info to clean up their configuration (e.g. abuse
of map_regm, lua-load etc).
This commit adds a new function ha_stuck_warning() that will emit a
warning indicating that the designated thread has been stuck for XX
milliseconds, with a number of streams blocked, and will make that
thread dump its own state. The warning will then be sent to stderr,
along with some reminders about the impacts of such situations to
encourage users to fix their configuration.
In order not to disrupt operations, a local 4kB buffer is allocated
in the stack. This should be quite sufficient.

CLEANUP: stats: fix misleading comment on top of stat_idx_info
The comment asks to update the "metrics_info" array, which does not
exist, instead it's called stat_cols_info[] and is in stats.c. Let's

While no version seems to have ever known that "metrics_info", it's not
needed to backport this as it's only a comment.
BUG/MEDIUM: quic: do not consider ACK on released stream as error
When an ACK is received by haproxy, a lookup is performed to retrieve
the related emitted frames. For STREAM type frames, a lookup is
performed under quic_conn stream_desc tree. Indeed, the corresponding
stream instance could be already released if multiple ACK were received
refering to the same stream offset, which can happen notably if
retransmission occured.
qc_handle_newly_acked_frm() implements this logic. If the case with an
already released stream is encounted, an error is returned. In the end,
this error is propagated via qc_parse_pkt_frms() into
qc_treat_rx_pkts(), despite being in fact a perfectly valid case. Fix
this by adjusting ACK handling function to return a success value for
the particular case of released stream instead.
The impact of this bug is unknown, but it can have several consequences.
* if the packet with the ACK contains other frames after it, their
content will be skipped
* the packet won't be acknowledged by haproxy, even if it contains other
frames and is ack-eliciting. This may cause unneeded retransmission by
the client.
* RTT sampling information related to this ACK is ignored by haproxy
Finally, it also caused the increment of the quic_conn counter
dropped_parsing (droppars in "show quic" output) which should be
reserved only for real error cases.
This regression is present since the following patch : e7578084b0536e3e5988be7f09091c85beb8fa9d
MINOR: quic: implement dedicated type for out-of-order stream ACK
Before, qc_handle_newly_acked_frm() return type was always ignored. As
such, no backport is needed.
BUG/MINOR: mworker: do 'program' postparser checks in read_cfg_in_discovery_mode
cfg_program_postparser() contains 2 parts:
- check the combination of MODE_MWORKER and "program" section. if
"program" section was parsed, MODE_MWORKER is mandatory;
- check "command" keyword, which is mandatory for this section as
well.
This is more appropriate now, after the master-worker refactoring, do the
first part in read_cfg_in_discovery_mode, where we already check the
combination of MODE_MWORKER and -S option.
We need to do the second part just below, in read_cfg_in_discovery_mode() as
well, because it's only the master process, who parses now program section and
programs are forked before running postparser functions in step_init_2.
Otherwise, mworker_ext_launch_all() will emit a log message, that program is
started, but actually nothing has been launched, if 'command' keyword is
absent.
This not needs to be backported, as related to the master-worker refactoring.
BUG/MINOR: quic: repeat packet parsing to deal with fragmented CRYPTO
A ClientHello may be splitted accross several different CRYPTO frames,
then mixed in a single QUIC packet. This is used notably by clients such
as chrome to render the first Initial packet opaque to middleboxes.
Each packet frame is handled sequentially. Out-of-order CRYPTO frames
are buffered in a ncbuf, until gaps are filled and data is transferred
to the SSL stack. If CRYPTO frames are heavily splitted with small
fragments, buffering may fail as ncbuf does not support small gaps. This
causes the whole packet to be rejected and unacknowledged. It could be
solved if the client reemits its ClientHello after remixing its CRYPTO
frames.
This patch is written to improve CRYPTO frame parsing. Each CRYPTO
frames which cannot be buffered due to ncbuf limitation are now stored
in a temporary list. Packet parsing is completed until all frames have
been handled. If temporary list is not empty, reparsing is done on the
stored frames. With the newly buffered CRYPTO frames, ncbuf insert
operation may this time succeeds if the frame now covers a whole gap.
Reparsing will loop until either no progress can be made or it has been
done at least 3 times, to prevent CPU utilization.
This patch should fix github issue #2776.
This should be backported up to 2.6, after a period of observation. Note
that it relies on the following refactor patches :
MINOR: quic: extend return value of CRYPTO parsing
MINOR: quic: use dynamically allocated frame on parsing
MINOR: quic: simplify qc_parse_pkt_frms() return path
MINOR: quic: extend return value of CRYPTO parsing
qc_handle_crypto_frm() is the function used to handled a newly received
CRYPTO frame. Change its API to use a newly dedicated return type. This
allows to report if the frame was properly handled, ignored if already
parsed previously or rejected after a fatal error.
This commit does not have any functional changes. However, it allows to
simplify qc_handle_crypto_frm() API by removing <fast_retrans> as output
parameter. Also, this patch will be necessary to support multiple
iteration of packet parsing for CRYPTO frames.
MINOR: quic: use dynamically allocated frame on parsing
qc_parse_pkt_frms() is the function responsible to parse a received QUIC
packet. Payload is decoded and splitted into individual frames which are
then handled individually. Previously, frame was used as locally stack
allocated. Change this to work on a dynamically allocated frame.
This commit does bring any functional changes. However, it will be
useful to extend packet parsing. In particular, it will be necessary to
save some frames during parsing to reparse them after the others.
Change qc_parse_pkt_frms() return path for normal and error cases. Most
notably, it allows to remove local variable ret as now return value is
hardcoded on normal and err label. This also allows to define a
different trace for error leaving code.
MINOR: http: don't %-encode the payload when not relevant
As reported by Pierre Maoui in GH #2477, it's not possible to render
control chars from variables or expressions verbatim in the payload part
of http-return statements. That's a problem because this part should not
require to be encoded at all (we could even imagine building favicons on
the fly for example).
In fact it is the LOG_OPT_HTTP option when passed as default options on
parse_logformat_string() which tells the log encoder that the payload
should be http-encoded using lf_chunk() instead of being printed using the
per-type encoder.
This option was set when parsing logformat expressions for lf-string
expression under http-return statements, as well as logformat expressions
for set-map action. While it is true that those actions may only be
used under http context, the LOG_OPT_HTTP logformat option is not relevant
there, because the payload is expected to be used without being encoded.
So let's simply get rid of this option when parsing logformat expressions
for set-map action key/value and lf-string from http-request return
action, and add a note next to LOG_OPT_HTTP option to indicate that it is
used to tell the log encoder that the payload should be HTTP-encoded.
Thanks to Pierre for having reported the issue and Willy for the
analysis and patch proposal.
MINOR: http-conv: Remove unreachable goto statement in sample_conv_q_preferred
This was reported by Coverity. In sample_conv_q_preferred() function, a goto
statement after a "while(1)" loop is unreachable. Instead of just removing
it, the same goto statement in the loop is replaced by a break. It is safer
this way, in case the loop change in future.
MINOR: listener: Remove useless checks on the receiver protocol existence
The receiver protocol is always set when a listener is created or cloned. At
least for now. And there is no check on it at many places, except in
listener_accept() function. So, let's remove remaining useless checks. That
will avoid false Coverity reports in future.
which prevents haproxy from sending PING only packets/datagrams (some
packets/datagrams with only PING frame as ack-eliciting frames inside).
Such packets/datagrams are useful in rare cases during retransmissions
when one wants to probe the peer without exceeding the anti-amplification
limit.
Modify the condition passed to qc_build_pkt() to add padding to the current
datagram. One does not want to do that when probing the peer without ack-eliciting
frames passed as <frms> parameter. Indeed qc_build_pkt() calls qc_do_build_pkt()
which supports this case: if <probe> is true (probing required), qc_do_build_pkt()
handles the case where some padding must be added to a PING only packet/datagram.
This is the case when probing with an empty <frms> frame list of ack-eliciting
frames without exceeding the anti-amplification limit from qc_dgrams_retransmit().
Add some comments to qc_build_pkt() and qc_do_build_pkt() to clarify this
as this code is easy to break!
Thank you for @Tristan971 for having reported this issue in GH #2709.
MINOR: quic: Help diagnosing malformed probing packets

MINOR: connection: add new sample fetch functions fc_err_name and bc_err_name
These functions return a symbolic error code such as ECONNRESET to keep
logs compact while making them human-readable. It's a good alternative
to the numeric code in that it's more expressive, and a good one to the
full message since it's shorter and more precise (some codes even match
errno names).
The doc was updated so that the symbolic names appear in the table. It
could be useful to backport this feature to help with troubleshooting
some issues, though backporting the doc might possibly be more annoying
in case users have local patches already, so maybe the table update does
not need to be backported in this case.

MINOR: connection: add more connection error codes to cover common errno
While we get reports of connection setup errors in fc_err/bc_err, we
don't have the equivalent for the recv/send/splice syscalls. Let's
add provisions for new codes that cover the common errno values that
recv/send/splice can return, i.e. ECONNREFUSED, ENOMEM, EBADF, EFAULT,
EINVAL, ENOTCONN, ENOTSOCK, ENOBUFS, EPIPE. We also add a special case
for when the poller reported the error itself. It's worth noting that
EBADF/EFAULT/EINVAL will generally indicate serious bugs in the code
and should not be reported.
The only thing is that it's quite hard to forcefully (and reliably)
trigger these errors in automated tests as the timing is critical.
Using iptables to manually reset established connections in the
middle of large transfers at least permits to see some ECONNRESET
and/or EPIPE, but the other ones are harder to trigger.

MINOR: stream: Add http-buffer-request option in the waiting entities
When http-buffer-request option is set on a proxy, the processing will be
paused to wait the full request payload or a full buffer. So it is an entity
that block the processing, just like a rule or a filter that yields. So now,
it is reported as a waiting entity if an error or a timeout occurred.
To do so, an stream entity type is added for this option. There is no
pointer. And "waiting_entity" sample fetch returns the option name.
MINOR: stream: Save the entity waiting to continue its processing
When a rule or a filter yields because it waits for something to be able to
continue its processing, this entity is saved in the stream. If an error or
a timeout occurred, info on this entity may be retrieved via the
"waiting_entity" sample fetch, for instance to dump it in the logs. This
info may be useful to found root cause of some bugs because it is a way to
know the processing was temporarily stopped. This may explain timeouts for
instance.
MINOR: stream: Save the last filter evaluated interrupting the processing
It is very similar to the last evaluated rule. When a filter returns an
error that interrupts the processing, it is saved in the stream, in the
last_entity field, with the type 2. The pointer on filter config is
saved. This pointer never changes during runtime and is part of the proxy's
structure. It is an element of the filter_configs list in the proxy
structure.
"last_entity" sample fetch was update accordingly. The filter identifier is
returned, if defined. Otherwise the save pointer.
MINOR: stream: Replace last_rule_file/line fields by a more generic field
The last evaluated rule is now saved in a generic structure, named
last_entity, with a type to identify it. The idea is to be able to store
other kind of entity that may interrupt a specific processing.
The type of the last evaluated rule is set to 1. It will be replace later by
an enum to be more explicit. In addition, the pointer to the rule itself is
saved instead of its location.
The sample fetch "last_entity" was added to retrieve the information about
it. In this case, it is the rule localtion, the config file containing the
rule followed by the line where the rule is defined, separated by a
colon. This sample fetch is not documented yet.
MINOR: stream: Save last evaluated rule on invalid yield
When an action yields while it is not allowed, an internal error is
reported. This interrupts the processing. So info about the last evaluated
rule must be filled.
This patch may be bakcported if needed. If so, the commit ("MINOR: stream:
Save last evaluated rule on invalid yield") must be backported first.
BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h1: Fix how timeouts are applied on H1 connections
There were several flaws in the way the different timeouts were applied on
H1 connections. First, the H1C task handling timeouts was not created if no
client/server timeout was specified. But there are other timeouts to
consider. First, the client-fin/server-fin timeouts. But for frontend
connections, http-keey-alive and http-request timeouts may also be used. And
finally, on soft-stop, the close-spread-time value must be considered too.
So at the end, it is probably easier to always create a task to manage H1C
timeouts. Especially since the client/server timeouts are most often set.
Then, when the expiration date of the H1C's task must only be updated if the
considered timeout is set. So tick_add_ifset() must be used instead of
tick_add(). Otherwise, if a timeout is undefined, the taks may expire
immediately while it should in fact never expire.
Finally, the idle expiration date must only be considered for idle
connections.
This patch should be backported in all stable versions, at least as far as
2.6. On the 2.4, it will have to be slightly adapted for the idle_exp
part. On 2.2 and 2.0, the patch will have to be rewrite because
h1_refresh_timeout() is quite different.

BUG/MINOR: startup: don't dump polling info for master in verbose mode
As master-worker fork happens now before step_init_2(), when pollers are
initialized and polling settings and dumped then in verbose and in debug modes
to stdout, it turns out that master and worker dump its same polling
settings separately. This creates long and messy output in these modes.
Polling settings are the same for master and for worker process for the moment.
Even if they would diverge in future we are interested here in worker's
settings. So, when started in the master-worker mode let's dump it only in the
worker context.
This doesn't need to be backported as related to the latest master-worker
refactoring.
BUG/MINOR: startup: dump keywords only in worker if started with -W -dKAll
If haproxy was started with -W -dK*, after master-worker refactoring, we dump
registered keywords to stdout twice in master and in worker processes. This
information is redundant and output has no longer the right format. So, as the
keyword registration happens very early before the fork, let's dump keywords
only in the worker context, if haproxy was launched with -W.
This does not need to be backported, as related to the latest master-worker
refactoring.
BUG/MINOR: startup: dump libs only in worker if started with -W -dL
If haproxy was started with -W -dL, after master-worker refactoring we dump
libs to stdout twice in master and in worker processes. This is information is
redundant. So let's show linked libraries only in the worker context, if
haproxy was started also with -W.
This does not need to be backported, as related to the latest master-worker
rework.
BUG/MINOR: startup: don't fork worker if started with -c -W
Don't do master-worker fork if MODE_CHECK is detected from the command line along
with the master-worker mode. We should exit in MODE_CHECK, after the
configuration parsing and validation. So, with the new master-worker architecture
it's better to align this mode with the standalone.
This patch does not need to be backported, as related to the latest
master-worker rework.
BUG/MINOR: errors: print_message: don't allocate startup logs ring
Don't call startup_logs_init() in order to allocate the startup logs ring
again, if startup_logs pointer is NULL. Startup logs ring is allocated
explicitly in step_init_1 routine, when the process starts, and it's freed
explicitly for master process at the end of mworker_reexec scope. So, when
we no longer have this pointer, let's just save the log message in the
message buffer.
Otherwise, in case of master process, we will allocate the startup logs ring
again here and we will lost its address after execvp.
No need to backport this fix as it's related to the latest master-worker
refactoring.
BUG/MINOR: errors: startup_logs_free: set global startup_logs ptr to NULL
ring_free() calls free() on the ring struct pointer, but startup_logs continues
to keep this address. So let's reset at the end startup_logs to NULL.
startup_logs is checked in print_message().
No need to backport this fix, as it's related to the latest master-worker
refactoring.
BUG/MINOR: mworker: mworker_reexec: unset MODE_STARTING before free startup logs ring
Flag MODE_STARTING should be unset for master just before freeing the startup
logs ring, as it triggers the copy of process logs to this ring, see the code
of print_message().
Moreover with this flag set, if startup logs ring pointer is NULL, any
print_message() triggered just before the execvp in mworker_reexec() will call
startup_logs_init(). So ring will be allocated again "discretely" and after
execvp we will lost its address, as in step_init_1() we will call again
startup_logs_init().
No need to backport this fix as it's related to the latest master-worker
refactoring.

MEDIUM: socket: add zero-terminated ABNS alternative
When an abstract unix socket is bound by HAProxy (using "abns@" prefix),
NUL bytes are appended at the end of its path until sun_path is filled
(for a total of 108 characters).
Here we add an alternative to pass only the non-NUL length of that path
to connect/bind calls, such that the effective path of the socket's name
is as humanly written. This may be useful to interconnect with existing
softwares that implement abstract sockets with this logic instead of the
default haproxy one.
This is achieved by implementing the "abnsz" socket prefix (instead of
"abns"), which stands for "zero-terminated ABNS". "abnsz" prefix may be
used anywhere "abns" is. Internally, haproxy uses the custom socket
family (AF_CUST_ABNS vs AF_CUST_ABNSZ) to differentiate default abns
sockets from zero-terminated ones.
MEDIUM: sock_unix: use per-family addrcmp function
Thanks to previous commit, we may now use dedicated addrcmp functions for
each UNIX address family. This allows to simplify sock_unix_addrcmp()
function and avoid useless checks in order to try to guess the socket
type.
In this patch we implement sock_abns_addrcmp() and sock_abnsz_addrcmp()
functions, which are respectively used for ABNS and ABNSZ custom families
sock_unix_addrcmp() now only holds regular UNIX socket comparing logic.
MEDIUM: sock: also restore effective unix family in get_{src,dst}()
As in previous commit, let's push the logic a bit further in order to
properly restore the effective UNIX socket type when leveraging
get_src() and get_dst() sock functions, since they rely on getpeername()
and getsockname() under the hood, both of which will actually loose the
effective family and return AF_UNIX for all our custom UNIX sockets.
To do this, add sock_restore_unix_family() helper function from the logic
implemented in the previous commit, and call this function from get_src()
and get_dst() in case of unix socket prior to returning.
MINOR: sock: restore effective UNIX family in sock_get_old_sockets()
When getting sockets from older process in sock_get_old_sockets(), we
leverage getsockname() to fill sockaddr struct from known fd.
However, the kernel doesn't know about our custom UNIX families such
as CUST_ABNS and CUST_ABNSZ which are both based on AF_UNIX real family.
Since haproxy socket API relies on effective family (and not real family)
to recognize the socket type instead of having to guess it by analyzing
the path content, let's restore it right after getsockname() since we
have all the infos needed to deduce the right family.
If the path starts with a NULL byte, we know that it is an abstract sock.
Then we simply check <addrlen> value from getsockname() to know if the
addr makes uses of the whole path space (normal ABNS) or partial path
space (zero ABNS / aka ABNZ) terminated by 0.

MINOR: protocol: create abnsz socket address family
For now it's the same as abns. We'll need to modify sock_unix_addrcmp(),
and a few other ones to support effective path length when dealing with
the \0. Let's check with Tristan's patch for this (upcoming patch).
CLEANUP: tools: rely on address family to detect ABNS sockets
Following previous commit, in str2sa_range(), make use of address' family
which was just set to check if the socket is ABNS or not instead of
relying on an extra boolean to save this info.
MEDIUM: protocol: rely on AF_CUST_ABNS family to recognize ABNS sockets
Now that we can easily distinguish regular UNIX socket from ABNS sockets
by simply looking at the address family, stop looking at the first byte
from addr->sun_path to guess if the socket is an ABNS one or not. Looking
at the family is straightforward and will allow to differentiate between
upcoming ABNSZ and ABNS (where looking at the first byte from path won't
help anymore).
Willy Tarreau [Fri, 9 Aug 2024 16:48:14 +0000 (18:48 +0200)]
MEDIUM: protocol: make abns a custom unix socket address family
This is a pre-requisite to adding the abnsz socket address family:
in this patch we make use of protocol API rework started by 732913f
("MINOR: protocol: properly assign the sock_domain and sock_family") in
order to implement a dedicated address family for ABNS sockets (based on
UNIX parent family).
Thanks to this, it will become trivial to implement a new ABNSZ (for abns
zero) family which is essentially the same as ABNS but with a slight
difference when it comes to path handling (ABNS uses the whole sun_path
length, while ABNSZ's path is zero terminated and evaluation stops at 0)
It was verified that this patch doesn't break reg-tests and behaves
properly (tests performed on the CLI with show sess and show fd).
Anywhere relevant, AF_CUST_ABNS is handled alongside AF_UNIX. If no
distinction needs to be made, real_family() is used to fetch the proper
real family type to handle it properly.
Both stream and dgram were converted, so no functional change should be
expected for this "internal" rework, except that proto will be displayed
as "abns_{stream,dgram}" instead of "unix_{stream,dgram}".
When using trace with -dt, the trace_parse_cmd() function is doing a
strtok which write \0 into the argv string.
When using the mworker mode, and reloading, argv was modified and the
trace won't work anymore because the first : is replaced by a '\0'.
This patch fixes the issue by allocating a temporary string so we don't
modify the source string directly. It also replace strtok by its
reentrant version strtok_r.

BUG/MEIDUM: mworker: fix fd leak from master to worker
During re-execution master keeps always opened "reload" sockpair FDs and
shared sockpair ipc_fd[0], the latter is using to transfert listeners sockets
from the previously forked worker to the new one. So, these master's FDs are
inherited in the newly forked worker and must be closed in its context.
"reload" sockpair inherited FDs and shared sockpair FD (ipc_fd[0]) are closed
separately, becase master doesn't recreate "reload" sockpair each time after
its re-exec. It always keeps the same FDs for this "reload" sockpair. So in
worker context it can be closed immediately after the fork.
At contrast, shared sockpair is created each time after reload, when the new
worker will be forked. So, if N previous workers are still exist at this moment,
the new worker will inherit N ipc_fd[0] from master. So, it's more save to
close all these FDs after get_listeners_fd() and bind_listeners() calls.
Otherwise, early closed FDs in the worker context will be immediately bound to
listeners and we could potentially have some bugs.
CLEANUP: mworker: make mworker_create_master_cli more readable
Using nested 'if' operator, while checking if we will need to allocate again the
"reload" sockpair, does not degrade performance, as mworker_create_master_cli is

This nested 'if' (we check one condition in each operator) makes more visible the
fact, that the "reload" sockpair is allocated only once, when the master process
starts and it does not re-allocated again (hence, its FDs are not closed) during
reloads. This way of checking multiple conditions here makes more easy to spot
this fact, while analysing the code in order to investigate FD leaks between
master and worker.

A first approach could be to just dump the thread that triggers the

since "show threads" would still display nothing. This patch takes a
better approach consisting in dumping all non-idle threads. This way
the output is less polluted that with the older approach (no need to
dump all those waiting in the poller), and all active threads are
visible, in panics as well as in "show threads". As such, the CLI
command "debug dev panic" now dmups backtraces again. This is already
