Set "max-cache-size" in the "geoip2" system test
The named configuration files used in the "geoip2" system test cause a
rather large number of views (6-8) to be set up in each tested named
instance. Each view has its own cache.
Commit aa72c31422bf04c34afd539dc9986a9bac976901 caused the RBT hash
table to be pre-allocated to a size derived from "max-cache-size", so
that it never needs to be rehashed. The size of that hash table is not
expected to be significant enough to cause memory use issues in typical
conditions even for large "max-cache-size" settings.
However, these two factors combined can cause memory exhaustion issues
in GitLab CI, where we run multiple "instances" of the test suite in
parallel on the same runner, each test suite executes multiple system
tests concurrently, and each system test may potentially start multiple
named instances at the same time. In practice, this problem currently
only seems to be affecting the "geoip2" system test, which is failing
intermittently due to named instances used by that test getting killed
by oom-killer.
Prevent the "geoip2" system test from failing intermittently by setting
"max-cache-size" in named configuration files used in that test to a low
value in order to keep memory usage at bay even with a large number of
views configured.
In 9.17 we introduced 'primaries' as a synonym for 'masters' in the
configuration file. This synonym has not been backported so change
the serve-stale test to make use of the 'masters' keyword.
Expire the 0 TTL RRSet quickly rather using them for serve-stale
When a received RRSet has TTL 0, they would be preserved for
serve-stale (default `max-stale-cache` is 12 hours) rather than expiring
them quickly from the cache database.
This commit makes sure the RRSet didn't have TTL 0 before marking the
entry in the database as "stale".
Add stale-cache-enable option and disable serve-stable by default
The current serve-stale implementation in BIND 9 stores all received
records in the cache for a max-stale-ttl interval (default 12 hours).
This allows DNS operators to turn the serve-stale answers in an event of
large authoritative DNS outage. The caching of the stale answers needs
to be enabled before the outage happens or the feature would be
otherwise useless.
The negative consequence of the default setting is the inevitable
cache-bloat that happens for every and each DNS operator running named.
In this MR, a new configuration option `stale-cache-enable` is
introduced that allows the operators to selectively enable or disable
the serve-stale feature of BIND 9 based on their decision.
The newly introduced option has been disabled by default,
e.g. serve-stale is disabled in the default configuration and has to be
enabled if required.

Fix ns_statscounter_recursclients underflow
The basic scenario for the problem was that in the process of
resolving a query, if any rrset was eligible for prefetching, then it
would trigger a call to query_prefetch(), this call would run in
parallel to the normal query processing.
The problem arises due to the fact that both query_prefetch(), and,
in the original thread, a call to ns_query_recurse(), try to attach
to the recursionquota, but recursing client stats counter is only
incremented if ns_query_recurse() attachs to it first.
Conversely, if fetch_callback() is called before prefetch_done(),
it would not only detach from recursionquota, but also decrement
the stats counter, if query_prefetch() attached to te quota first
that would result in a decrement not matched by an increment, as
expected.
To solve this issue an atomic bool was added, it is set once in
ns_query_recurse(), allowing fetch_callback() to check for it
and decrement stats accordingly.
For a more compreensive explanation check the thread comment below:

equivalent option on other OSes) and then retrying bind() call.

Refactor the code that counts the last log version to keep
When silencing the Coverity warning in remove_old_tsversions(), the code
was refactored to reduce the indentation levels and break down the long
code into individual functions. This improve fix for [GL #1989].
Creation of EVP_MD_CTX and EVP_PKEY is quite expensive, so until we fix the code

siphash instead of trying to integrate with OpenSSL.
Fix the rbt hashtable and grow it when setting max-cache-size
There were several problems with rbt hashtable implementation:
1. Our internal hashing function returns uint64_t value, but it was
silently truncated to unsigned int in dns_name_hash() and
dns_name_fullhash() functions. As the SipHash 2-4 higher bits are
more random, we need to use the upper half of the return value.
2. The hashtable implementation in rbt.c was using modulo to pick the
slot number for the hash table. This has several problems because
modulo is: a) slow, b) oblivious to patterns in the input data. This
could lead to very uneven distribution of the hashed data in the
hashtable. Combined with the single-linked lists we use, it could
really hog-down the lookup and removal of the nodes from the rbt
tree[a]. The Fibonacci Hashing is much better fit for the hashtable
function here. For longer description, read "Fibonacci Hashing: The
Optimization that the World Forgot"[b] or just look at the Linux
kernel. Also this will make Diego very happy :).
3. The hashtable would rehash every time the number of nodes in the rbt
tree would exceed 3 * (hashtable size). The overcommit will make the
uneven distribution in the hashtable even worse, but the main problem
lies in the rehashing - every time the database grows beyond the
limit, each subsequent rehashing will be much slower. The mitigation
here is letting the rbt know how big the cache can grown and
pre-allocate the hashtable to be big enough to actually never need to
rehash. This will consume more memory at the start, but since the
size of the hashtable is capped to `1 << 32` (e.g. 4 mio entries), it
will only consume maximum of 32GB of memory for hashtable in the
worst case (and max-cache-size would need to be set to more than
4TB). Calling the dns_db_adjusthashsize() will also cap the maximum
size of the hashtable to the pre-computed number of bits, so it won't
try to consume more gigabytes of memory than available for the
database.
FIXME: What is the average size of the rbt node that gets hashed? I
chose the pagesize (4k) as initial value to precompute the size of
the hashtable, but the value is based on feeling and not any real
data.
For future work, there are more places where we use result of the hash
value modulo some small number and that would benefit from Fibonacci
Hashing to get better distribution.
Notes:
a. A doubly linked list should be used here to speedup the removal of
the entries from the hashtable.

Fix idle timeout for connected TCP sockets
When named acting as a resolver connects to an authoritative server over
TCP, it sets the idle timeout for that connection to 20 seconds. This
fixed timeout was picked back when the default processing timeout for
each client query was hardcoded to 30 seconds. Commit 000a8970f840a0c27c5cc404826853c4674362ac made this processing timeout
configurable through "resolver-query-timeout" and decreased its default
value to 10 seconds, but the idle TCP timeout was not adjusted to
reflect that change. As a result, with the current defaults in effect,
a single hung TCP connection will consistently cause the resolution
process for a given query to time out.
Set the idle timeout for connected TCP sockets to half of the client
query processing timeout configured for a resolver. This allows named
to handle hung TCP connections more robustly and prevents the timeout
mismatch issue from resurfacing in the future if the default is ever
changed again.

the highest level node in the chain will not be put into

Since exact matches only care for testing rpz set bits,
we need to test for rpz wild bits through iterating the nodechain, and
that includes testing the rpz wild bits in the highest level node found.
In the case of an exact match, chain->levels[chain->level_matches]
will be NULL, to address that we must use chain->end as the start point,
then iterate over the remaining levels in the chain.

Fix re-signing when `sig-validity-interval` has two arguments
Since October 2019 I have had complaints from `dnssec-cds` reporting
that the signatures on some of my test zones had expired. These were
zones signed by BIND 9.15 or 9.17, with a DNSKEY TTL of 24h and
`sig-validity-interval 10 8`.
This is the same setup we have used for our production zones since
2015, which is intended to re-sign the zones every 2 days, keeping
at least 8 days signature validity. The SOA expire interval is 7
days, so even in the presence of zone transfer problems, no-one
should ever see expired signatures. (These timers are a bit too
tight to be completely correct, because I should have increased
the expiry timers when I increased the DNSKEY TTLs from 1h to 24h.
But that should only matter when zone transfers are broken, which
was not the case for the error reports that led to this patch.)
This TTL was captured at 20200622105807 so the resolver cached the
RRset 64976 seconds previously (18h02m56s), at 20200621165511
only about 12h before expiry.
The other symptom of this error was incorrect `resign` times in
the output from `rndc zonestatus`.
For example, I have configured a test zone
zone fast.dotat.at {
file "../u/z/fast.dotat.at";
type primary;
auto-dnssec maintain;
sig-validity-interval 500 499;
};
The zone is reset to a minimal zone containing only SOA and NS
records, and when `named` starts it loads and signs the zone. After
that, `rndc zonestatus` reports:
next resign node: fast.dotat.at/NS
next resign time: Fri, 28 May 2021 12:48:47 GMT
The resign time should be within the next 24h, but instead it is
near the signature expiry time, which the RRSIG(NS) says is 20210618074847. (Note 499 hours is a bit more than 20 days.)
May/June 2021 is less than 500 days from now because expiry time
jitter is applied to the NS records.
Using this test I bisected this bug to 09990672d which contained a
mistake leading to the resigning interval always being calculated in
hours, when days are expected.
This bug only occurs for configurations that use the two-argument form
of `sig-validity-interval`.
