There is a simple universal IO loop, taking care of events, timers and
sockets. Primarily, one instance of a protocol should use exactly one IO
loop to do all its work, as is now done in BFD.
Contrary to previous versions, the loop is now launched and cleaned by
the nest/proto.c code, allowing for a protocol to just request its own
loop by setting the loop's lock order in config higher than the_bird.
It is not supported nor checked if any protocol changed the requested
lock order in reconfigure. No protocol should do it at all.

In previous versions, every thread used its own time structures,
effectively leading to different time in every thread and strange
logging messages.
The time processing code now uses global atomic variables to keep
current time available for fast concurrent reading and safe updates.

* internal tables are now more standalone, having their own import and
export hooks
* route refresh/reload uses stale counter instead of stale flag,
allowing to drop walking the table at the beginning
* route modify (by BGP LLGR) is now done by a special refeed hook,
reimporting the modified routes directly without filters

We can also quite simply allocate bigger blocks. Anyway, we need these
blocks to be aligned to their size which needs one mmap() two times
bigger and then two munmap()s returning the unaligned parts.
The user can specify -B <N> on startup when <N> is the exponent of 2,
setting the block size to 2^N. On most systems, N is 12, anyway if you
know that your configuration is going to eat gigabytes of RAM, you are
almost forced to raise your block size as you may easily get into memory
fragmentation issues or you have to raise your maximum mapping count,
e.g. "sysctl vm.max_map_count=(number)".

Add min/max key length fields to the MAC algorithm description and
validate configured keys before they are used.

Add support for specifying a password in hexadecimal format, The result
is the same whether a password is specified as a quoted string or a
hex-encoded byte string, this just makes it more convenient to input
high-entropy byte strings as MAC keys.

Import the blake2-kat.h header with test vector output from the blake
reference implementation, and add tests to mac_test.c to compare the
output of the Bird MAC algorithm implementations with that reference
output.
Since the reference implementation only has test vectors for the full
output size, there are no tests for the smaller-sized output variants.

The Babel MAC authentication RFC recommends implementing Blake2s as one of
the supported algorithms. In order to achieve do this, add the blake2b and
blake2s hash functions for MAC authentication. The hashing function
implementations are the reference implementations from blake2.net.
The Blake2 algorithms allow specifying an arbitrary output size, and the
Babel MAC spec says to implement Blake2s with 128-bit output. To satisfy
this, we add two different variants of each of the algorithms, one using
the default size (256 bits for Blake2s, 512 bits for Blake2b), and one
using half the default output size.
Update to BIRD coding style done by committer.

Simplify the code and fix an issue with getentropy() return value.
|

Add a wrapper function in sysdep to get random bytes, and required checks
in configure.ac to select how to do it. The configure script tries, in
order, getrandom(), getentropy() and reading from /dev/urandom.

underlying interface disappears
When an interface disappears, all the neighbors are freed as well. Seqno
requests were anyway not decoupled from them, leading to strange
segfaults. This fix adds a proper seqno request list inside neighbors to
make sure that no pointer to neighbor is kept after free.

For numeric operators, comma is used for disjunction in expressions like
"10, 20, 30..40". But for bitmask operators, comma is used for
conjunction in a way that does not really make much sense. Use always
explicit logical operators (&& and ||) to connect bitmask operators.
Thanks to Matt Corallo for the bugreport.

Add support to set or read outgoing MPLS labels using filters. Currently
this supports the addition of one label per route for the first next hop.

RFC 8955 is pretty clear that 000 is false and 111 is true.

Implement function flow_explicate_part() to convert flowspec numeric
expressions to a simple list of (disjoint, sorted) intervals. That could
be used in filters to build f_tree-based int-sets from them.

The code in tm_format_real_time() mixed up two buffers and their
sizes, which may cause crash in MRT dumping code.

From now, there are no auxiliary pointers stored in the free slab nodes.
This led to strange debugging problems if use-after-free happened in
slab-allocated structures, especially if the structure's first member is
a next pointer.
This also reduces the memory needed by 1 pointer per allocated object.
OTOH, we now rely on pages being aligned to their size's multiple, which
is quite common anyway.

In general, events are code handling some some condition, which is
scheduled when such condition happened and executed independently from
I/O loop. Work-events are a subgroup of events that are scheduled
repeatedly until some (often significant) work is done (e.g. feeding
routes to protocol). All scheduled events are executed during each
I/O loop iteration.
Separate work-events from regular events to a separate queue and
rate limit their execution to a fixed number per I/O loop iteration.
That should prevent excess latency when many work-events are
scheduled at one time (e.g. simultaneous reload of many BGP sessions).

Add macros for recursive filter iteration that allows to examine
all instructions reachable from a filter.

The babel protocol code was initialising objects returned from the slab
allocator by assigning to each of the struct members individually, but
wasn't touching the NODE member while doing so. This leads to warnings on
debug builds since commit:
baac7009063d ("List expensive check.")
To fix this, introduce an sl_allocz() variant of the slab allocator which
will zero out the memory before returning it, and switch all the babel call
sites to use this version. The overhead for doing this should be negligible
for small objects, and in the case of babel, the largest object being
allocated was being zeroed anyway, so we can drop the memset in
babel_read_tlv().

This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.

To be honest, it was wrong in concept, anyway it accidentally worked.

Missing dst no longer generates error.
