doc/haproxy-{en,fr}.txt have been removed recently but they were still
referenced in the Makefile. Many other documents have also been
added. Instead of hard-coding a list of documents to install, install
all those in doc/ with some exceptions:
- coding-style.txt is more for developers
- gpl.txt and lgpl.txt are usually present at other places (and I would
have to remove them in the Debian packaging, less work for me)
The documentation in the subdirectories is not installed as it is more
targeted to developers.
Added support for city hash method, turned off multi threading support
and included maths library. Removed reference to compression library
which was never needed.
This was the first transparent proxy technology supported by haproxy
circa 2005 but it was obsoleted in 2007 by Tproxy 4.0 which removed a
lot of the earlier versions' shortcomings and was finally merged into
the kernel. Since nobody has been using cttproxy for many years now
and nobody has even just tried to compile the files, it's time to
remove it. The doc was updated as well.
On platforms where the dl*() functions are not part of the libc, a
program linking Lua also needs to link to libdl.
Moreover, on platforms using a gold linker with the --as-needed flag,
the libdl library needs to be linked after linking Lua, otherwise, it
won't be marked as needed and will be discarded and its symbols won't be
present at the end of the linking phase.
Ubuntu enables the --as-needed flag by default. Other distributions may
advertise its use, like Gentoo.
Moved 51Degrees code from src/haproxy.c, src/sample.c and src/cfgparse.c
into a separate files src/51d.c and include/import/51d.h.
Added two new functions init_51degrees() and deinit_51degrees(), updated
Makefile and other code reorganizations related to 51Degrees.
This patch adds support of variables during the processing of each stream. The
variables scope can be set as 'session', 'transaction', 'request' or 'response'.
The variable type is the type returned by the assignment expression. The type
can change while the processing.
The allocated memory can be controlled for each scope and each request, and for
the global process.
Implementation of a DNS client in HAProxy to perform name resolution to
IP addresses.
It relies on the freshly created UDP client to perform the DNS
resolution. For now, all UDP socket calls are performed in the
DNS layer, but this might change later when the protocols are
extended to be more suited to datagram mode.
A new section called 'resolvers' is introduced thanks to this patch. It
is used to describe DNS servers IP address and also many parameters.
Basic introduction of a UDP layer in HAProxy. It can be used as a
client only and manages UDP exchanges with servers.
It can't be used to load-balance UDP protocols, but only used by
internal features such as DNS resolution.
Since both DEVICEATLAS_INC and DEVICEATLAS_LIB are set to the same path
when building from sources, simply allow DEVICEATLAS_SRC to be set alone
to simplify the build procedure.
Till now 3 paths were needed, 51DEGREES_SRC, 51DEGREES_INC, and
51DEGREES_LIB. Let's make the last two default to 51DEGREES_SRC since
it's the same location, and fix the doc to reflect this (all three were
documented but inconsistently).
To build with 51Degrees set USE_51DEGREES=1. 51DEGREES_INC, 51DEGREES_LIB,
and 51DEGREES_SRC will need to be set to the 51Degrees pattern header and
C file.
This diff updates the Makefile to compile conditionally via
some new sets of flags, USE_DEVICEATLAS to enable the module
and the couple DEVICEATLAS_INC/DEVICEATLAS_LIB which needs to
point to the API root folder in order to compile the API and
the module.
The xxhash library provides a very fast and excellent hash algorithm
suitable for many purposes. It excels at hashing large blocks but is
also extremely fast on small ones. It's distributed under a 2-clause
BSD license (GPL-compatible) so it can be included here. Updates are
distributed here :
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash
This will be usable to implement some maps/acl caches for heavy datasets
loaded from files (mostly regex-based but in general anything that cannot
be indexed in a tree).
There is now a pointer to the session in the stream, which is NULL
for now. The session pool is created as well. Some parts will move
from the stream to the session now.
With HTTP/2, we'll have to support multiplexed streams. A stream is in
fact the largest part of what we currently call a session, it has buffers,
logs, etc.
In order to catch any error, this commit removes any reference to the
struct session and tries to rename most "session" occurrences in function
names to "stream" and "sess" to "strm" when that's related to a session.
The files stream.{c,h} were added and session.{c,h} removed.
The session will be reintroduced later and a few parts of the stream
will progressively be moved overthere. It will more or less contain
only what we need in an embryonic session.
Sample fetch functions and converters will have to change a bit so
that they'll use an L5 (session) instead of what's currently called
"L4" which is in fact L6 for now.
Once all changes are completed, we should see approximately this :
L7 - http_txn
L6 - stream
L5 - session
L4 - connection | applet
There will be at most one http_txn per stream, and a same session will
possibly be referenced by multiple streams. A connection will point to
a session and to a stream. The session will hold all the information
we need to keep even when we don't yet have a stream.
Some more cleanup is needed because some code was already far from
being clean. The server queue management still refers to sessions at
many places while comments talk about connections. This will have to
be cleaned up once we have a server-side connection pool manager.
Stream flags "SN_*" still need to be renamed, it doesn't seem like
any of them will need to move to the session.
This library is designed to emit a zlib-compatible stream with no
memory usage and to favor resource savings over compression ratio.
While zlib requires 256 kB of RAM per compression context (and can only
support 4000 connections per GB of RAM), the stateless compression
offered by libslz does not need to retain buffers between subsequent
calls. In theory this slightly reduces the compression ratio but in
practice it does not have that much of an effect since the zlib
window is limited to 32kB.
Libslz is available at :
http://git.1wt.eu/web?p=libslz.git
It was designed for web compression and provides a lot of savings
over zlib in haproxy. Here are the preliminary results on a single
core of a core2-quad 3.0 GHz in 32-bit for only 300 concurrent
sessions visiting the home page of www.haproxy.org (76 kB) with
the default 16kB buffers :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio memory VSZ/RSS
zlib 237 Mbps 92 Mbps 145 Mbps 2.58 84M / 69M
slz 733 Mbps 380 Mbps 353 Mbps 1.93 5.9M / 4.2M
So while the compression ratio is lower, the bandwidth savings are
much more important due to the significantly lower compression cost
which allows to consume even more data from the servers. In the
example above, zlib became the bottleneck at 24% of the output
bandwidth. Also the difference in memory usage is obvious.
More tests run on a single core of a core i5-3320M, with 500 concurrent
users and the default 16kB buffers :
At 100% CPU (no limit) :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio memory VSZ/RSS hits/s
zlib 480 Mbps 188 Mbps 292 Mbps 2.55 130M / 101M 744
slz 1700 Mbps 810 Mbps 890 Mbps 2.10 23.7M / 9.7M 2382
At 85% CPU (limited) :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio memory VSZ/RSS hits/s
zlib 1240 Mbps 976 Mbps 264 Mbps 1.27 130M / 100M 1738
slz 1600 Mbps 976 Mbps 624 Mbps 1.64 23.7M / 9.7M 2210
The most important benefit really happens when the CPU usage is
limited by "maxcompcpuusage" or the BW limited by "maxcomprate" :
in order to preserve resources, haproxy throttles the compression
ratio until usage is within limits. Since slz is much cheaper, the
average compression ratio is much higher and the input bandwidth
is quite higher for one Gbps output.
Other tests made with some reference files :
BW In BW Out BW Saved Ratio hits/s
daniels.html zlib 1320 Mbps 163 Mbps 1157 Mbps 8.10 1925
slz 3600 Mbps 580 Mbps 3020 Mbps 6.20 5300
tv.com/listing zlib 980 Mbps 124 Mbps 856 Mbps 7.90 310
slz 3300 Mbps 553 Mbps 2747 Mbps 5.97 1100
jquery.min.js zlib 430 Mbps 180 Mbps 250 Mbps 2.39 547
slz 1470 Mbps 764 Mbps 706 Mbps 1.92 1815
bootstrap.min.css zlib 790 Mbps 165 Mbps 625 Mbps 4.79 777
slz 2450 Mbps 650 Mbps 1800 Mbps 3.77 2400
So on top of saving a lot of memory, slz is constantly 2.5-3.5 times
faster than zlib and results in providing more savings for a fixed CPU
usage. For links smaller than 100 Mbps, zlib still provides a better
compression ratio, at the expense of a much higher CPU usage.
Larger input files provide slightly higher bandwidth for both libs, at
the expense of a bit more memory usage for zlib (it converges to 256kB
per connection).
Last commit ecc9547 ("BUILD: lua: it miss the '-ldl' directive") broke
build on systems without libdl (eg: FreeBSD). Since lua requires libdl
on some systems, let's simplify this by adding a USE_DL build directive
to enable/disable use of libdl. It's set by default on all linux flavors.
This patch fix the Lua library check. Only the version
5.3 or later is allowed.
This bug is added by the patch "MEDIUM: lua: use the
Lua-5.3 version of the library" with commit id
f90838b71a
The Lua-5.3 version of the library adds a required function to fix
a bug with the forced-yield system.
This patch permits to build with the Lua-5.3 library. Main changes
are:
- "unsigned" type disappear to be replaced by signed type,
- prototype of the yield function callback changes.
Depending on the distribution, the Lua library can have different names.
Some distributions will require -llua5.2, others -llua52, and other systems may
require -llua.
Now, the Makefile will try to guess the library name, in order of priority :
"lua5.2", "lua52", or "lua".
This is the first step of the lua integration. We add the useful
files in the HAProxy project. These files contains the main
includes, the Makefile options and empty initialisation function.
Is is the LUA skeleton.
As mailer and mailers structures and allow parsing of
a mailers section into those structures.
These structures will subsequently be freed as it is
not yet possible to use reference them in the configuration.

This patch makes it possible to create binds and servers in separate
namespaces. This can be used to proxy between multiple completely independent
virtual networks (with possibly overlapping IP addresses) and a
non-namespace-aware proxy implementation that supports the proxy protocol (v2).
The setup is something like this:
net1 on VLAN 1 (namespace 1) -\
net2 on VLAN 2 (namespace 2) -- haproxy ==== proxy (namespace 0)
net3 on VLAN 3 (namespace 3) -/
The proxy is configured to make server connections through haproxy and sending
the expected source/target addresses to haproxy using the proxy protocol.
The network namespace setup on the haproxy node is something like this:
= 8< =
$ cat setup.sh
ip netns add 1
ip link add link eth1 type vlan id 1
ip link set eth1.1 netns 1
ip netns exec 1 ip addr add 192.168.91.2/24 dev eth1.1
ip netns exec 1 ip link set eth1.$id up
...
= 8< =
= 8< =
$ cat haproxy.cfg
frontend clients
bind 127.0.0.1:50022 namespace 1 transparent
default_backend scb
backend server
mode tcp
server server1 192.168.122.4:2222 namespace 2 send-proxy-v2
= 8< =
A bind line creates the listener in the specified namespace, and connections
originating from that listener also have their network namespace set to
that of the listener.
A server line either forces the connection to be made in a specified
namespace or may use the namespace from the client-side connection if that
was set.
For more documentation please read the documentation included in the patch
itself.

Commit 0bed994 ("BUG/MINOR: ssl: correctly initialize ssl ctx for
invalid certificates") accidently left a change in the Makefile
resulting in -ldl being appended to the LDFLAGS. As reported by
Dmitry Sivachenko, this will break build on systems without libdl
such as FreeBSD.
This fix must be backported to 1.5.
Bug reported by John Leach: no-sslv3 does not work using some certificates.
It appears that ssl ctx is not updated with configured options if the
CommonName of the certificate's subject is not found.
It applies only on the first cerificate of a configured bind line.
There is no security impact, because only invalid nameless certficates
are concerned.
This fix must be backported to 1.5
Currently, the commit ID appears in the sub-version in snapshots, but
when people use the git repository, we only have the commits count,
and not the last commit ID, which requires to count commits when
troubleshooting. This change ensures that unreleased versions also
report the commit ID before the commit number, such as :
1.6-dev0-bbfd1a-50
Tagged versions will not have this, since the post-release commit count
is zero.
Attempting to build haproxy-systemd-wrapper on non-linux platforms
sometimes results in build errors. Better move it into an EXTRA
variable which is set to haproxy-systemd-wrapper only on Linux 2.6
and above. Proceeding this way also allows to disable building it
in quick builds (eg: when developing).
Prevously pthread process shared lock were used by default,
if USE_SYSCALL_FUTEX is not specified.
This patch implements an OS independant kind of lock:
An active spinlock is usedf if USE_SYSCALL_FUTEX is not specified.
The old behavior is still available if USE_PTHREAD_PSHARED=1.
Certain implementations (for example ksh/OpenBSD) prefix the
'wc -l' output with whitespaces. This breaks the build since
689e4d733 ("BUILD: simplify the date and version retrieval in
the makefile").
Fix this by piping the wc output into tr -dc '0-9'.
Workaround is to build with IGNOREGIT=1.
HAProxy-1.4 is affected as well.
We'd rather skip any line containing "$Format" and not just those
beginning with it because SUBVERS starts with a dash and caused a
bad format to be reported.
The first line now contains a git format tag asking git-archive to
place the last commit's commit date and the last commit's abbreviated
ID respectively. The makefile will use these information in preference
when they're available and git is not available.
Now it's only necessary to add the two following lines in
.git/info/attributes to have the files automatically filled by git-archive :
SUBVERS export-subst
VERDATE export-subst
We're going to put format lines in these files for use by git archive,
so let's ensure that the current default format still works. For this
we'll use two lines and only take the first one without a format tag.
The makefile currently uses some complex and non-always portable
methods to retrieve the date and version (eg: linux's date command).
For the date, we can use git log -1 --pretty=format:%ci instead of
date+sed. For the version, it's easier and safer to count single log
lines.
Note that the VERSION variable was wrong since it could contain the
version+subversion instead of just the version. This is now fixed by
adding --abbrev=0 in describe.
Add a new converter with the following prototype :
map(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
map_<match_type>(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
map_<match_type>_<output_type>(<map_file>[,<default_value>])
It searches the for input value from <map_file> using the <match_type>
matching method, and return the associated value converted to the type
<output_type>. If the input value cannot be found in the <map_file>,
the converter returns the <default_value>. If the <default_value> is
not set, the converter fails and acts as if no input value could be
fetched. If the <match_type> is not set, it defaults to "str".
Likewise, if the <output_type> is not set, it defaults to "str". For
convenience, the "map" keyword is an alias for "map_str" and maps a
string to another string. The following array contains contains the
list of all the map* converters.

| `-_ out | | | |
| input `-_ | str | int | ip |

The names are intentionally chosen to reflect the same match methods
as ACLs use.
This patch just moves code without any change.
The ACL are just the association between sample and pattern. The pattern
contains the match method and the parse method. These two things are
different. This patch cleans the code by splitting it.
Summary:
In testing at tumblr, we found that using djb2 hashing instead of the
default sdbm hashing resulted is better workload distribution to our backends.
This commit implements a change, that allows the user to specify the hash
function they want to use. It does not limit itself to consistent hashing
scenarios.
The supported hash functions are sdbm (default), and djb2.
For a discussion of the feature and analysis, see mailing list thread
"Consistent hashing alternative to sdbm" :
http://marc.info/?l=haproxy&m=138213693909219
Note: This change does NOT make changes to new features, for instance,
applying an avalance hashing always being performed before applying
consistent hashing.
When trying to build with various versions of openssl, forcing the
path is still cumbersome. Let's add SSL_INC and SSL_LIB similar to
PCRE_INC and PCRE_LIB to allow forcing the path to the SSL includes
and libs.
