Use a single source of truth, the git log, to generate the list of CHANGES. Use the .rst format and include it in the ARM for a quick reference with proper gitlab links to issues and merge requests.
The files in contrib/ directory shouldn't be subject to our pylint
check. They can come from external sources and we don't subject these to
the same standards as the rest of the BIND9 code / scripts.
The configuration has been crafted to cater for BIND9 needs:
- Define actions that have an equivalent section in existing Release
Notes
- Assume the commits that have the necessary changelog makrup are merge
commits from GitLab and transform them into messages and proper links
- Put the resulting changelog into the proper place in
doc/arm/changelog.rst
- Have a separate configuration for changelog and release notes. Both of
these should be generated from the `git log`, with release notes being
subject to more scrutiny and further editing
The project hasn't seen any new development/changes since 2018 and it
seems unlikely we'd be able to get any changes into the upstream. Since
it's isolated into a single file and its task is fairly straighforward,
pull the code into our own repository and maintain it here as needed.
This also makes it easier to make any changes that are specific to our
project.
This commit ensures that we are not attempting to accept an expired
TCP connection as we are not interested in any data that could have
been accumulated in its internal buffers. Now we just drop them for
good.
When sending fails, the ns__client_request() would not reset the
connection and continue as nothing is happening. This comes from the
model that we don't care about failed UDP sends because datagrams are
unreliable anyway, but it greatly affects TCP connections with
keep-alive.
The worst case scenario is as follows:
1. the 3-way TCP handshake gets completed
2. the libuv calls the "uv_connection_cb" callback
3. the TCP connection gets queue because of the tcp-clients quota
4. the TCP client sends as many DNS messages as the buffers allow
5. the TCP connection gets dropped by the client due to the timeout
6. the TCP connection gets accepted by the server
7. the data already sent by the client gets read
8. all sending fails immediately because the TCP connection is dead
9. we consume all the data in the buffer in a very tight loop
As it doesn't make sense to trying to process more data on the TCP
connection when the sending is failing, drop the connection immediately
on the first sending error.
Remove ns_query_init() cannot fail, remove the error paths
As ns_query_init() cannot fail now, remove the error paths, especially
in ns__client_setup() where we now don't have to care what to do with
the connection if setting up the client could fail. It couldn't fail
even before, but now it's formal.
Be more aggressive when throttling the reading - when we can't send the
outgoing TCP synchronously with uv_try_write(), we start throttling the
reading immediately instead of waiting for the send buffers to fill up.
This should not affect behaved clients that read the data from the TCP
on the other end.

Be smarter about refusing to add many RR types to the database
Instead of outright refusing to add new RR types to the cache, be a bit
smarter:
1. If the new header type is in our priority list, we always add either
positive or negative entry at the beginning of the list.
2. If the new header type is negative entry, and we are over the limit,
we mark it as ancient immediately, so it gets evicted from the cache
as soon as possible.
3. Otherwise add the new header after the priority headers (or at the
head of the list).
4. If we are over the limit, evict the last entry on the normal header
list.

Do not un-throttle TCP connections on isc_nm_read()
Due to omission it was possible to un-throttle a TCP connection

In particular, that affected DoH code, but it could also affect other

Implement asynchronous view matching for SIG(0)-signed queries
View matching on an incoming query checks the query's signature,

Add a quota for SIG(0) signature checks
In order to protect from a malicious DNS client that sends many
queries with a SIG(0)-signed message, add a quota of simultaneously
running SIG(0) checks.
This protection can only help when named is using more than one worker
threads. For example, if named is running with the '-n 4' option, and
'sig0checks-quota 2;' is used, then named will make sure to not use
more than 2 workers for the SIG(0) signature checks in parallel, thus
leaving the other workers to serve the remaining clients which do not
use SIG(0)-signed messages.
That limitation is going to change when SIG(0) signature checks are
offloaded to "slow" threads in a future commit.
The 'sig0checks-quota-exempt' ACL option can be used to exempt certain
clients from the quota requirements using their IP or network addresses.
The 'sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms' option is used to define a maximum
amount of time for named to wait for a quota to appear. If during that
time no new quota becomes available, named will answer to the client
with DNS_R_REFUSED.
By default we log a rekey failure on debug level. We should probably
change the log level to error. We make an exception for when the zone
is not loaded yet, it often happens at startup that a rekey is
run before the zone is fully loaded.

ns_client: reuse TCP send buffers
Constantly allocating, reallocating and deallocating 64K TCP send
buffers by 'ns_client' instances takes too much CPU time.
There is an existing mechanism to reuse the ns_clent_t structure
associated with the handle using 'isc_nmhandle_getdata/_setdata'
(see ns_client_request()), but it doesn't work with TCP, because
every time ns_client_request() is called it gets a new handle even
for the same TCP connection, see the comments in
streamdns_on_complete_dnsmessage().
To solve the problem, we introduce an array of available (unused)
TCP buffers stored in ns_clientmgr_t structure so that a 'client'
working via TCP can have a chance to reuse one (if there is one)
instead of allocating a new one every time.

Keep the endpoints set reference within an HTTP/2 socket
This commit ensures that an HTTP endpoints set reference is stored in
a socket object associated with an HTTP/2 stream instead of

This helps to prevent an issue like follows:
1. BIND is configured to serve DoH clients;
2. A client is connected and one or more HTTP/2 stream is
created. Internal pointers are now pointing to the data on the
associated HTTP endpoints set;
3. BIND is reconfigured - the new endpoints set object is created and
promoted to all listeners;
4. The old pointers to the HTTP endpoints set data are now invalid.
Instead referencing a global object that is updated on
re-configurations we now store a local reference which prevents the
endpoints set objects to go out of scope prematurely.
