The Kernel protocol, even with the option 'learn' enabled, ignores
direct routes created by the OS kernel (on Linux these are routes
with rtm_protocol == RTPROT_KERNEL).
Implement optional behavior where both OS kernel and third-party routes
are learned, it can be enabled by 'learn all' option.
Minor changes by committer.

The MPLS subsystem manages MPLS labels and handles their allocation to
MPLS-aware routing protocols. These labels are then attached to IP or VPN
routes representing label switched paths -- LSPs.
There was already a preliminary MPLS support consisting of MPLS label
net_addr, MPLS routing tables with static MPLS routes, remote labels in
next hops, and kernel protocol support.
This patch adds the MPLS domain as a basic structure representing local
label space with dynamic label allocator and configurable label ranges.
To represent LSPs, allocated local labels can be attached as route
attributes to IP or VPN routes with local labels as attributes.
There are several steps for handling LSP routes in routing protocols --
deciding to which forwarding equivalence class (FEC) the LSP route
belongs, allocating labels for new FECs, announcing MPLS routes for new
FECs, attaching labels to LSP routes. The FEC map structure implements
basic code for managing FECs in routing protocols, therefore existing
protocols can be made MPLS-aware by adding FEC map and delegating
most work related to local label management to it.

This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().

Also redesign preferred address selection and update protocols to use
appropriate preferred address.
Based on a previous work by Jan Maria Matejka.

We support ECMP routes only on Linux. Exported routes are checked in
krt_capable(), but a route generated during path merging avoids this
check.
|
|
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's
accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.
Moved Makefile.in into root dir
Retired all.o and birdlib.a
Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.

The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.

Contains some patches from Jan Moskyto Matejka

Use net_addr for interface address prefixes, support net_addr in
configuration parser.
|
|
Kernel option 'merge paths' allows to merge routes exported to kernel
protocol (currently BGP and static routes) to multipath routes.
|
|
Also significant core protocol state changes needed for that,
global graceful restart recovery state and kernel proto support
for recovery.

OS-dependent functions renamed to be more consistent,
prepared to merge krt-set and krt-scan headers.
Name changes:
struct krt_if_params -> struct kif_params
struct krt_if_status -> struct kif_status
struct krt_set/scan_params -> struct krt_params
struct krt_set/scan_status -> struct krt_status
krt_if_params_same -> kif_sys_reconfigure
krt_if_copy_params -> kif_sys_copy_config
krt_set/scan_params_same -> krt_sys_reconfigure
krt_set/scan_copy_params -> krt_sys_copy_config
krt_if_scan -> kif_do_scan
krt_set_notify -> krt_do_notify
krt_scan_fire -> krt_do_scan
krt_if_ -> kif_sys_
krt_scan_ -> krt_sys_
krt_set_ -> krt_sys_

Based on the patch from Alexander V. Chernikov.
Extended to support almost all protocols.
Uses 'protocol bgp NAME from TEMPLATE { ... }' syntax.
|

In usual configuration, such export is already restricted
with the aid of the direct protocol but there are some
races that can circumvent it. This makes it harder to
break kernel device routes. Also adds an option to
disable this restriction.

used for automatic generation of instance names.
protocol->name is the official name
protocol->template is the name template (usually "name%d"),
should be all lowercase.
Updated all protocols to define the templates, checked that their configuration
grammar includes proto_name which generates the name and interns it in the
symbol table.

The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them
there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c.
The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though.
Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)

o Now compatible with filtering.
o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS
systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct).
o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects
the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets.
o Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports.
o Lots of internal changes.
|
|
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
routing tables once multiple tables get supported).
See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.

The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module
and OS dependent submodules:
- krt.c (the generic part)
- krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling)
- krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning)
- krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes)
krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily
system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc),
Netlink substitues all three modules.
We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel
interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also
asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change;
not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these
primitive operations.
