2021-11-22Converting the former BFD loop to a universal IO loop and protocol loop.Maria Matejka
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.
2021-11-22Unified time for whole BIRDMaria Matejka
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.

2021-10-13Multipage allocationMaria Matejka
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)".

2021-06-06sysdep: Add wrapper to get random bytesToke Høiland-Jørgensen
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.
2021-04-07Unix: Expand accepted ranges of iproute2 constantsOndrej Zajicek (work)
We support 32bit table and realm/flow ids, we should also accept them as constants. Thanks to Patrick Hemmer for the bugreport.
2021-02-10BGP: Add support for BGP hostname capabilityVincent Bernat
This is an implementation of draft-walton-bgp-hostname-capability-02. It is implemented since quite some time for FRR and in datacenter, this gives a nice output to avoid using IP addresses. It is disabled by default. The hostname is retrieved from uname(2) and can be overriden with "hostname" option. The domain name is never set nor displayed. Minor changes by committer.
2020-06-03Log: Do not open logfiles when parse-and-exit option is activeOndrej Zajicek (work)
This is a quick workaround for an issue where configured logfiles are opened/created during parsing of a config file even when parse-and-exit option is active. We should later refactor the logging code to avoid opening log during parsing altogether.
2020-04-09Configuration strings are constant.Maria Matejka
This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.
2020-02-04Conf: Better error message when reading iproute2 configMaria Matejka

2019-10-22Accept uppercase letters in iproute2 namesOndrej Zajicek
Names read from texfiles in /etc/iproute2/* are normalized by replacing non-alphanumeric chars with underscore. The patch fixes handling of uppercase letters, which were handled as non-alphanumberic. Thanks to Igor Gavrilov for the bugreport.
2019-10-09Lib: Support for 64-bit numbers in bvsnprintf()Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Use 'l' for s64/u64 instead of for long/ulong, as that is much more useful. Also make number() correct with regard to signed/unsigned typecasts.
2019-10-04Fixed undefined behavior on signals.Maria Matejka
The C11 specification allows only sig_atomic_t and _Atomic variable access. All other accesses to global variables are undefined behavior. Using int was probably OK on x86 and x86_64; yet there were some reports from other architectures (especially some MIPS) that in rare cases, after issuing SIGHUP, BIRD did strange things.
2019-08-21Sysdep: Drop supplementary groups when dropping GIDOndrej Zajicek (work)
We forgot to do that. Oops.

2019-06-30Nest: Add command to request graceful restartOndrej Zajicek (work)
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification, just closes the connection.

This should be revised, there are still ugly things in the filter API.
2019-01-04Unix: Remove removed option from helpOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also includes minor cleanup of help.
2018-12-04Unix: Change debugging optionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
The old behavior was that enabling debugging did many nontrivial changes in BIRD behavior. The patch changes it that these changes are generally independent. Compiling with --enable-debug now just enables compile-time debug macros, but do not automatically activate debug mode (-d) nor local mode (-l). Debug mode with output to file (-D) do not force foreground mode (-f), therefore there is no need for backgroud option (-b), which is removed. Also fixes a bug when the default log target in -D mode was stderr instead of given debug file.

The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean it up.

2016-04-07Main: Add local optionOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add option that changes default paths for config file and control socket to the current working directory.
2016-04-06IO: Replace RX priority heuristic with explicit markOndrej Zajicek (work)
In BIRD, RX has lower priority than TX with the exception of RX from control socket. The patch replaces heuristic based on socket type with explicit mark and uses it for both control socket and BGP session waiting to be established. This should avoid an issue when during heavy load, outgoing connection could connect (TX event), send open, but then failed to receive OPEN / establish in time, not sending notifications between and therefore got hold timer expired error from the neighbor immediately after it finally established the connection.

2015-11-09Conf: Fixes bug in symbol lookup during reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
Symbol lookup by cf_find_symbol() not only did the lookup but also added new void symbols allocated from cfg_mem linpool, which gets broken when lookups are done outside of config parsing, which may lead to crashes during reconfiguration. The patch separates lookup-only cf_find_symbol() and config-modifying cf_get_symbol(), while the later is called only during parsing. Also new_config and cfg_mem global variables are NULLed outside of parsing.
