This one was deprecated in 2.3 and marked for removal in 2.5. It suffers
too many limitations compared to threads, and prevents some improvements
from being engaged. Instead of a bypassable startup error, there is now
a hard error.
The parsing code was removed, and very few obvious cases were as well.
The code is deeply rooted at certain places (e.g. "for" loops iterating
from 0 to nbproc) so it will not be that trivial to remove everywhere.
The "bind" and "bind-process" parsers will have to be adjusted, though
maybe not completely changed if we later want to support thread groups
for large NUMA machines. Some stats socket restrictions were removed,
and the doc was updated according to what was done. A few places in the
doc still refer to nbproc and will have to be revisited. The master-worker
code also refers to the process number to distinguish between master and
workers and will have to be carefully adjusted. The MAX_PROCS macro was
reset to 1, this will at least reduce the size of some remaining arrays.
Two regtests were dependieng on this directive, one with an explicit
"nbproc 1" and another one testing the master's CLI using nbproc 4.
Both were adapted.
Commit ab0a5192a ("MEDIUM: config: mark "grace" as deprecated") marked
the "grace" keyword as deprecated in 2.3, tentative removal for 2.4
with a hard deadline in 2.5, so let's remove it and return an error now.
This old and outdated feature was incompatible with soft-stop, reload
and socket transfers, and keeping it forced ugly hacks in the lower
layers of the protocol stack.
This patch add a ref into servers to register them onto the
record answer item used to set their hostnames.
It also adds a head list into 'srvrq' to register servers free
to be affected to a SRV record.
A head of a tree is also added to srvrq to put servers which
present a hotname in server state file. To re-link them fastly
to the matching record as soon an item present the same name.
This results in better performances on SRV record response
parsing.
This is an optimization but it could avoid to trigger the haproxy's
internal wathdog in some circumstances. And for this reason
it should be backported as far we can (2.0 ?)
This patch adds a head list into answer items on servers which use
this record to set their IPs. It makes lookup on duplicated ip faster and
allow to check immediatly if an item is still valid renewing the IP.
This results in better performances on A/AAAA resolutions.
This is an optimization but it could avoid to trigger the haproxy's
internal wathdog in some circumstances. And for this reason
it should be backported as far we can (2.0 ?)
When an HTX block is expanded, a defragmentation may be performed first to
have enough space to copy the new data. When it happens, the meta data of
the HTX message must take account of the new data length but copied data are
still unchanged at this stage (because we need more space to update the
message content). And here there is a bug because the meta data are updated
by the caller. It means that when the blocks content is copied, the new
length is already set. Thus a block larger than the reality is copied and
data outside the buffer may be accessed, leading to a crash.
To fix this bug, htx_defrag() is updated to use an extra argument with the
new meta data to use for the referenced block. Thus the caller does not need
to update the HTX message by itself. However, it still have to update the
data.
Most of time, the bug will be encountered in the HTTP compression
filter. But, even if it is highly unlikely, in theory it is also possible to
hit it when a HTTP header (or only its value) is replaced or when the
start-line is changed.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.0.
A tiny change in commit 6af81f80f ("MEDIUM: errors: implement parsing
context type") triggered an awful bug in gcc 5 and below (4.7.4 to 5.5
confirmed affected, at least on aarch64/mips/x86_64) causing the startup
to loop forever in acl_find_target().
This was tracked down to the acl.c file seeing a different definition
of the struct proxy than other files. The reason for this is that it
sees an unpacked "enum obj_type" (4 bytes) while others see it packed
(1 byte), thus all fields in the struct are having a different
alignment, and the "acl" list is shifted one pointer to the next struct
and seems to loop onto itself.
The commit above did nothing more than adding "enum obj_type *obj" in a
new struct without including obj_type.h, and that was apparently enough
for the compiler to internally declare obj_type as a regular enum and
silently ignore the packed attribute that it discovers later, so depending
on the order of includes, some files would see it as 1 byte and others as
4.
This patch simply adds the missing include but due to the nature of the
bug, probably that creating a special "packed_enum" definition to disable
the packed attribute on such compilers could be a safer option.
No backport is needed as this is only in -dev.
The ifdefs surrounding the "show ssl ocsp-response" functionality that
were supposed to disable the code with BoringSSL were built the wrong
way.
It does not need to be backported.
Now that the modified lockless variant does not need a DWCAS anymore,
there's no reason to keep the much slower locked version, so let's
just get rid of it.
In GH issue #1275, Fabiano Nunes Parente provided a nicely detailed
report showing reproducible crashes under musl. Musl is one of the libs
coming with a simple allocator for which we prefer to keep the shared
cache. On x86 we have a DWCAS so the lockless implementation is enabled
for such libraries.
And this implementation has had a small race since day one: the allocator
will need to read the first object's <next> pointer to place it into the
free list's head. If another thread picks the same element and immediately
releases it, while both the local and the shared pools are too crowded, it
will be freed to the OS. If the libc's allocator immediately releases it,
the memory area is unmapped and we can have a crash while trying to read
that pointer. However there is no problem as long as the item remains
mapped in memory because whatever value found there will not be placed
into the head since the counter will have changed.
The probability for this to happen is extremely low, but as analyzed by
Fabiano, it increases with the buffer size. On 16 threads it's relatively
easy to reproduce with 2MB buffers above 200k req/s, where it should
happen within the first 20 seconds of traffic usually.
This is a structural issue for which there are two non-trivial solutions:
- place a read lock in the alloc call and a barrier made of lock/unlock
in the free() call to force to serialize operations; this will have
a big performance impact since free() is already one of the contention
points;
- change the allocator to use a self-locked head, similar to what is
done in the MT_LISTS. This requires two memory writes to the head
instead of a single one, thus the overhead is exactly one memory
write during alloc and one during free;
This patch implements the second option. A new POOL_DUMMY pointer was
defined for the locked pointer value, allowing to both read and lock it
with a single xchg call. The code was carefully optimized so that the
locked period remains the shortest possible and that bus writes are
avoided as much as possible whenever the lock is held.
Tests show that while a bit slower than the original lockless
implementation on large buffers (2MB), it's 2.6 times faster than both
the no-cache and the locked implementation on such large buffers, and
remains as fast or faster than the all implementations when buffers are
48k or higher. Tests were also run on arm64 with similar results.
Note that this code is not used on modern libcs featuring a fast allocator.
A nice benefit of this change is that since it removes a dependency on
the DWCAS, it will be possible to remove the locked implementation and
replace it with this one, that is then usable on all systems, thus
significantly increasing their performance with large buffers.
Given that lockless pools were introduced in 1.9 (not supported anymore),
this patch will have to be backported as far as 2.0. The code changed
several times in this area and is subject to many ifdefs which will
complicate the backport. What is important is to remove all the DWCAS
code from the shared cache alloc/free lockless code and replace it with
this one. The pool_flush() code is basically the same code as the
allocator, retrieving the whole list at once. If in doubt regarding what
barriers to use in older versions, it's safe to use the generic ones.
This patch depends on the following previous commits:
- MINOR: pools: do not maintain the lock during pool_flush()
- MINOR: pools: call malloc_trim() under thread isolation
- MEDIUM: pools: use a single pool_gc() function for locked and lockless
The last one also removes one occurrence of an unneeded DWCAS in the
code that was incompatible with this fix. The removal of the now unused
seq field will happen in a future patch.
Many thanks to Fabiano for his detailed report, and to Olivier for
his help on this issue.
Since the code was reorganized, DEBUG_UAF was still tested in the locked
pool code despite pools being disabled when DEBUG_UAF is used. Let's move
the test to pool_put_to_os() which is the one that is always called in
this condition.
The impact is only a possible misleading analysis during a troubleshooting
session due to a missing double-frees or free of const area test that is
normally already dealt with by the underlying code anyway. In practice it's
unlikely anyone will ever notice.
This should only be backported to 2.4.
This patch adds the "show ssl ocsp-response [<id>]" CLI command. This
command can be used to display the IDs of the OCSP tree entries along
with details about the entries' certificate ID (issuer's name and key
hash + serial number), or to display the details of a single
ocsp-response if an ID is given. The details displayed in this latter
case are the ones shown by a "openssl ocsp -respin <ocsp-response>
-text" call.
Since commit 04a5a44 ("BUILD: ssl: use HAVE_OPENSSL_KEYLOG instead of
OpenSSL versions") the "tune.ssl.keylog" feature is broken because
HAVE_OPENSSL_KEYLOG does not exist.
Replace this by a HAVE_SSL_KEYLOG which is defined in openssl-compat.h.
Also add an error when not built with the right openssl version.
Must be backported as far as 2.3.
Change the algorithm for the generation of the user messages context
prefix. Remove the dubious API relying on optional printf positional
arguments. This may be non portable, and in fact the CI glibc crashes
with the following error when some arguments are not present in the
format string :
"invalid %N$ use detected".
Now, a fixed buffer attached to the context instance is allocated once
for the program lifetime. Then call repeatedly snprintf with the
optional arguments of context if present to build the context string.
The buffer is deallocated via a per-thread free handler.
This does not need to be backported.
This patch adds the `-cc` (check condition) argument to evaluate conditions on
startup and return the result as the exit code.
As an example this can be used to easily check HAProxy's version in scripts:
haproxy -cc 'version_atleast(2.4)'
This resolves GitHub issue #1246.

Create a parsing_ctx structure. This type is used to store information
about the current file/line parsed. A global context is created and
can be manipulated when haproxy is in STARTING mode. When starting is
over, the context is resetted and should not be accessed anymore.
The user messages buffer is used to store the stderr output after the
starting is over. Each thread has it own user messages buffer. Add some
functions to add a new message, retrieve and clear the content.
The user messages buffer primary goal is to be consulted by CLI
handlers. Each handlers using it must clear the buffer before starting
its operation.
Move functions related to errors output on stderr from log.c to a newly
created errors.c file. It targets print_message and
ha_alert/warning/notice/diag functions and related startup_logs feature.
A memory allocation failure happening in chash_init_server_tree while
trying to allocate a server's lb_nodes item used in consistent hashing
would have resulted in a crash. This function is only called during
configuration parsing.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches.
A memory allocation failure happening in mworker_env_to_proc_list when
trying to allocate a mworker_proc would have resulted in a crash. This
function is only called during init.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches.
A memory allocation failure happening during peers_register_table would
have resulted in a crash. This function is only called during init.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches.
Two calloc calls were not checked in the srv_parse_source function.
Considering that this function could be called at runtime through a
dynamic server creation via the CLI, this could lead to an unfortunate
crash.
It was raised in GitHub issue #1233.
It could be backported to all stable branches even though the runtime
crash could only happen on branches where dynamic server creation is
possible.
b_slow_realign() function may be used to realign a buffer with a given
amount of output data, eventually 0. In such case, the head is set to
0. This function is not designed to be used with input only buffers, like
those used in the muxes. It is the purpose of b_slow_realign_ofs()
function. It does almost the same, realign a buffer. But it do so by setting
the buffer head to a specific offset.
h1 parsing functions (h1_parse_msg_*) returns the number of bytes parsed or
0 if nothing is parsed because an error occurred or some data are
missing. But they never return negative values. Thus, instead of a signed
integer, these function now return a size_t value.
The H1 and FCGI muxes are updated accordingly. Note that h1_parse_msg_data()
has been slightly adapted because the parsing of chunked messages still need
to handle negative values when a parsing error is reported by
h1_parse_chunk_size() or h1_skip_chunk_crlf().
The output of "show map/acl" now contains the 'entry_cnt' value that
represents the count of all the entries for each map/acl, not just the
active ones, which means that it also includes entries currently being
added.
The first item inserted into an ebtree will be inserted directly below
the root, which is a simple struct eb_root which only holds two branch
pointers (left and right).
If we try to find a duplicated entry to this first leaf through a
ebmb_next_dup, our leaf_p pointer will point to the eb_root instead of a
complete eb_node so we cannot look for the bit part of our leaf_p since
it would try to cast our eb_root into an eb_node and perform an out of
bounds access when reading "eb_root_to_node(eb_untag(t,EB_LEFT)))->bit".
This bug was found by address sanitizer running on a CRL hot update VTC
test.
Note that the bug has been there since the import of the eb_next_dup()
and eb_prev_dup() function in 1.5-dev19 by commit 2b5702030 ("MINOR:
ebtree: add new eb_next_dup/eb_prev_dup() functions to visit duplicates").
It can be backported to all stable branches.
The following functions used in CA/CRL file hot update were not defined
in OpenSSL 1.0.2 so they need to be defined in openssl-compat :
- X509_CRL_get_signature_nid
- X509_CRL_get0_lastUpdate
- X509_CRL_get0_nextUpdate
- X509_REVOKED_get0_serialNumber
- X509_REVOKED_get0_revocationDate
This patch adds the "set ssl crl-file" and "commit ssl crl-file"
commands, following the same logic as the certificate and CA file update
equivalents.
When trying to update a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) file via a
"set" command, we start by looking for the entry in the CA file tree and
then building a new cafile_entry out of the payload, without adding it
to the tree yet. It will only be added when a "commit" command is
called.
During a "commit" command, we insert the newly built cafile_entry in the
CA file tree while keeping the previous entry. We then iterate over all
the instances that used the CRL file and rebuild a new one and its
dedicated SSL context for every one of them.
When all the contexts are properly created, the old instances get
replaced by the new ones and the old CRL file is removed from the tree.
The CA files and CRL files are stored in the same cafile_tree so this
patch adds a new field the the cafile_entry structure that specifies the
type of the entry. Since a ca-file can also have some CRL sections, the
type will be based on the option used to load the file and not on its
content (ca-file vs crl-file options).
This patch adds the "set ssl ca-file" and "commit ssl ca-file" commands,
following the same logic as the certificate update equivalents.
When trying to update a ca-file entry via a "set" command, we start by
looking for the entry in the cafile_tree and then building a new
cafile_entry out of the given payload. This new object is not added to
the cafile_tree until "commit" is called.
During a "commit" command, we insert the newly built cafile_entry in the
cafile_tree, while keeping the previous entry as well. We then iterate
over all the instances linked in the old cafile_entry and rebuild a new
ckch instance for every one of them. The newly inserted cafile_entry is
used for all those new instances and their respective SSL contexts.
When all the contexts are properly created, the old instances get
replaced by the new ones and the old cafile_entry is removed from the
tree.
This fixes a subpart of GitHub issue #1057.
Adds a way to insert a new uncommitted cafile_entry in the tree. This
entry will be the one fetched by any lookup in the tree unless the
oldest cafile_entry is explicitely looked for. This way, until a "commit
ssl ca-file" command is completed, there could be two cafile_entries
with the same path in the tree, the original one and the newly updated
one.
The updated CA content coming from the CLI during a ca-file update will
directly be in memory and not on disk so the way CAs are loaded in a
cafile_entry for now (via X509_STORE_load_locations calls) cannot be
used.
This patch adds a way to fill a cafile_entry directly from memory and to
load the contained certificate and CRL sections into an SSL store.
CRL sections are managed as well as certificates in order to mimic the
way CA files are processed when specified in an option. Indeed, when
parsing a CA file given through a ca-file or ca-verify-file option, we
iterate over the different sections in ssl_set_cert_crl_file and load
them regardless of their type. This ensures that a file that was
properly parsed when given as an option will also be accepted by the
CLI.
In order for the link between the cafile_entry and the default ckch
instance to be built, we need to give a pointer to the instance during
the ssl_sock_prepare_ctx call.
Each ca-file entry of the tree will now hold a list of the ckch
instances that use it so that we can iterate over them when updating the
ca-file via a cli command. Since the link between the SSL contexts and
the CA file tree entries is only built during the ssl_sock_prepare_ctx
function, which are called after all the ckch instances are created, we
need to add a little post processing after each ssl_sock_prepare_ctx
that builds the link between the corresponding ckch instance and CA file
tree entries.
In order to manage the ca-file and ca-verify-file options, any ckch
instance can be linked to multiple CA file tree entries and any CA file
entry can link multiple ckch instances. This is done thanks to a
dedicated list of ckch_inst references stored in the CA file tree
entries over which we can iterate (during an update for instance). We
avoid having one of those instances go stale by keeping a list of
references to those references in the instances.
When deleting a ckch_inst, we can then remove all the ckch_inst_link
instances that reference it, and when deleting a cafile_entry, we
iterate over the list of ckch_inst reference and clear the corresponding
entry in their own list of ckch_inst_link references.
This patch moves all the ssl_store related code to ssl_ckch.c since it
will mostly be used there once the CA file update CLI commands are all
implemented. It also makes the cafile_entry structure visible as well as
the cafile_tree.
stdint.h is not as portable as inttypes.h. It doesn't exist at least
on AIX 5.1 and Solaris 7, while inttypes.h is present there and does
include stdint.h on platforms supporting it.
This is equivalent to libslz upstream commit e36710a ("slz: use
inttypes.h instead of stdint.h")
On ARM with native CRC support, no need to inflate the executable with
a 4kB CRC table, let's just drop it.
This is slz upstream commit d8715db20b2968d1f3012a734021c0978758f911.
This function was not used anymore after the atomic updates were
implemented in 2.3, and it must not be used given that it does not
yield and can easily make the process hang for tens of seconds on
large acls/maps. Let's remove it before someone uses it as an
example to implement something else!
It's still very difficult to find all commands starting with a given
keyword like "set", "show" etc. Let's sort the lines by usage message,
this is much more convenient.
