A number of config files were present in the tests/ directory and which
would either test features that are easier to test using more recent files

BUG/MINOR: config: make the stats socket pass the correct proxy to the parsers
Baptiste reported a segfault when the "id" keyword was passed on the
"stats socket" line. The problem is related to the fact that the stats
parser stats_parse_global() passes curpx instead of global.stats_fe to
the keyword parser. Indeed, curpx being a pointer to the proxy in the
current section, it is not correct here since the global section does
not describe a proxy. It's just by pure luck that only bind_parse_id()
uses the proxy since any other keyword parser could use it as well.
The bug has no impact since the id specified here is not usable at all
and can be discarded from a faulty configuration.

BUG/MINOR: Handle interactive mode in cli handler
A previous commit broke the interactive stats cli prompt. Specifically,
it was not clear that we could be in STAT_CLI_PROMPT when we get to
the output functions for the cli handler, and the switch statement did
not handle this case. We would then fall through to the default
statement, which was recently changed to set error flags on the socket.
This in turn causes the socket to be closed, which is not what we wanted
in this specific case.
To fix, we add a case for STAT_CLI_PROMPT, and simply break out of the
switch statement.
Testing:
- Connected to unix stats socket, issued 'prompt', observed that I
could issue multiple consecutive commands.
- Connected to unix stats socket, issued 'prompt', observed that socket
timed out after inactivity expired.
- Connected to unix stats socket, issued 'prompt' then 'set timeout cli
5', observed that socket timed out after 5 seconds expired.
- Connected to unix stats socket, issued invalid commands, received
usage output.
- Connected to unix stats socket, issued 'show info', received info
output and socket disconnected.
- Connected to unix stats socket, issued 'show stat', received stats
output and socket disconnected.
- Repeated above tests with TCP stats socket.

MINOR: ssl: Add callbacks to set DH/ECDH params for generated certificates
Now, A callback is defined for generated certificates to set DH parameters for
ephemeral key exchange when required.
In same way, when possible, we also defined Elliptic Curve DH (ECDH) parameters.
MINOR: ssl: Add support for EC for the CA used to sign generated certificates
This is done by adding EVP_PKEY_EC type in supported types for the CA private
key when we get the message digest used to sign a generated X509 certificate.
So now, we support DSA, RSA and EC private keys.
And to be sure, when the type of the private key is not directly supported, we
get its default message digest using the function
'EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid'.
We also use the key of the default certificate instead of generated it. So we
are sure to use the same key type instead of always using a RSA key.
MINOR: ssl: Read the file used to generate certificates in any order
the file specified by the SSL option 'ca-sign-file' can now contain the CA
certificate used to dynamically generate certificates and its private key in any
order.

BUG/MINOR: ssl: fix management of the cache where forged certificates are stored
First, the LRU cache must be initialized after the configuration parsing to
correctly set its size.
Next, the function 'ssl_sock_set_generated_cert' returns -1 when an error occurs
(0 if success). In that case, the caller is responsible to free the memory
allocated for the certificate.
Finally, when a SSL certificate is generated by HAProxy but cannot be inserted
in the cache, it must be freed when the SSL connection is closed. This happens
when 'tune.ssl.ssl-ctx-cache-size' is set to 0.

BUG/MEDIUM: logs: segfault writing to log from Lua
Michael Ezzell reported a bug causing haproxy to segfault during startup

This patch fixes this problem by using individual vectors instead of the

Also, this patch fixes a problem causing haproxy to write the wrong pid in

warnings when building with Clang :
CLEANUP: tcp: silent-drop: only drain the connection when quick-ack is disabled
The conn_sock_drain() call is only there to force the system to ACK
pending data in case of TCP_QUICKACK so that the client doesn't retransmit,
otherwise it leads to a real RST making the feature useless. There's no
point in draining the connection when quick ack cannot be disabled, so
let's move the call inside the ifdef part.
BUG/MINOR: tcp: make silent-drop always force a TCP reset
The silent-drop action is supposed to close with a TCP reset that is
either not sent or not too far. But since it's on the client-facing
side, the socket's lingering is enabled by default and the RST only
occurs if some pending unread data remain in the queue when closing.
This causes some clean shutdowns to occur with retransmits, which is
not good at all. Force linger_risk on the socket to flush all data
and destroy the socket.
No backport is needed, this was introduced in 1.6-dev6.

MEDIUM: tcp: add new tcp action "silent-drop"
This stops the evaluation of the rules and makes the client-facing
connection suddenly disappear using a system-dependant way that tries
to prevent the client from being notified. The effect it then that the
client still sees an established connection while there's none on
HAProxy. The purpose is to achieve a comparable effect to "tarpit"
except that it doesn't use any local resource at all on the machine
running HAProxy. It can resist much higher loads than "tarpit", and
slow down stronger attackers. It is important to undestand the impact
of using this mechanism. All stateful equipments placed between the
client and HAProxy (firewalls, proxies, load balancers) will also keep
the established connection for a long time and may suffer from this
action. On modern Linux systems running with enough privileges, the
TCP_REPAIR socket option is used to block the emission of a TCP
reset. On other systems, the socket's TTL is reduced to 1 so that the
TCP reset doesn't pass the first router, though it's still delivered to
local networks.
BUG/MEDIUM: tcp: fix inverted condition to call custom actions
tcp-request connection had an inverted condition on action_ptr, resulting
in no registered actions to be usable since commit 4214873 ("MEDIUM: actions:
remove ACTION_STOP") merged in 1.6-dev5. Very few new actions were impacted.
No backport is needed.
When peers are stopped due to not being running on the appropriate
process, we want to completely release them and unregister their signals
and task in order to ensure there's no way they may be called in the
future.
Note: ideally we should have a list of all tables attached to a peers

BUG/MEDIUM: proxy: do not wake stopped proxies' tasks during soft_stop()
When performing a soft stop, we used to wake up every proxy's task and
each of their table's task. The problem is that since we're able to stop
proxies and peers not bound to a specific process, we may end up calling
random junk by doing so of the proxy we're waking up is already stopped.
This causes a segfault to appear during soft reloads for old processes
not bound to a peers section if such a section exists in other processes.
Let's only consider proxies that are not stopped when doing this.
This fix must be backported to 1.5 which also has the same issue.
Since commit f83d3fe ("MEDIUM: init: stop any peers section not bound
to the correct process"), it is possible to stop unused peers on certain
processes. The problem is that the pause/resume/stop functions are not
aware of this and will pass a NULL proxy pointer to the respective
functions, resulting in segfaults in unbound processes during soft
restarts.
Properly check that the peers' frontend is still valid before calling
them.
This bug also affects 1.5 so the fix must be backported. Note that this
fix is not enough to completely get rid of the segfault, the next one
is needed as well.

MAJOR: da: Update of the DeviceAtlas API module
Introduction of the new keyword about the client's cookie name
via a new config entry.
Splits the work between the original convertor and the new fetch type.
The latter iterates through the whole list of HTTP headers but first,
make sure the request data are ready to process and set the input
to the string type rightly.
The API is then able to filter itself which headers are gueninely useful,
with a special care of the Client's cookie.
[WT: the immediate impact for the end user is that configs making use of
"da-csv" won't load anymore and will need to be modified to use either
"da-csv-conv" or "da-csv-fetch"]
MEDIUM: logs: add a new RFC5424 log-format for the structured-data
This patch adds a new RFC5424-specific log-format for the structured-data
that is automatically send by __send_log() when the sender is in RFC5424
mode.
A new statement "log-format-sd" should be used in order to set log-format
for the structured-data part in RFC5424 formatted syslog messages.
Example:
MEDIUM: logs: add support for RFC5424 header format per logger
The function __send_log() iterates over senders and passes the header as
the first vector to sendmsg(), thus it can send a logger-specific header
in each message.
A new logger arguments "format rfc5424" should be used in order to enable
RFC5424 header format. For example:
log 10.2.3.4:1234 len 2048 format rfc5424 local2 info
MEDIUM: logs: remove the hostname, tag and pid part from the logheader
At the moment we have to call snprintf() for every log line just to
rebuild a constant. Thanks to sendmsg(), we send the message in 3 parts:
time-based header, proxy-specific hostname+log-tag+pid, session-specific
message.

BUG/MEDIUM: main: Freeing a bunch of static pointers
static_table_key, get_http_auth_buff and swap_buffer static variables
are now freed during deinit and the two previously new functions are
called as well. In addition, the 'trash' string buffer is cleared.

MINOR: cfgparse: New function cfg_unregister_sections()
A new function introduced meant to be called during general deinit phase.
During the configuration parsing, the section entries are all allocated.
This new function free them.
MEDIUM: config: set tune.maxrewrite to 1024 by default
The tune.maxrewrite parameter used to be pre-initialized to half of
the buffer size since the very early days when buffers were very small.
It has grown to absurdly large values over the years to reach 8kB for a
16kB buffer. This prevents large requests from being accepted, which is
the opposite of the initial goal.
Many users fix it to 1024 which is already quite large for header
addition.
So let's change the default setting policy :
- pre-initialize it to 1024
- let the user tweak it
- in any case, limit it to tune.bufsize / 2
This results in 15kB usable to buffer HTTP messages instead of 8kB, and
doesn't affect existing configurations which already force it.
This new target can be called from the frontend or the backend. It
is evaluated just before the backend choice and just before the server
choice. So, the input stream or HTTP request can be forwarded to a
server or to an internal service.
This patch only declares the execution timeout variable. The applet
must be respect or ignore it. For example an applet who doing some
network accesses and doesn't control its execution yime should use
this timeout.
this patch adds init function for the applet. the HAProxy standard
applet (peers, stats, lua) have no standard way for the applet
initialisation. This new function pointer have for goal to try to
standardize the applet initialization.
