Willy Tarreau cd50e7673f DOC: install: update supported OpenSSL versions in the INSTALL doc
OpenSSL 3.0 is now supported but was not mentioned. Also, it was
found that OpenSSL 0.9.8 doesn't build anymore since 2.5 due to
some of the functions used in the JWT token processing, and since
nobody complained, it seems it's not worth fixing it so support for
it was removed.

Willy Tarreau ff3333e658 DOC: install: update gcc version requirements
It turns out that gcc-3.4 doesn't build anymore (and it has probably been
the case since 2.4 or so). gcc-4.2 does build fine though, let's mark it
as the oldest supported one. Now that gcc-12 works, also update the most
recently known-to-work version.

Willy Tarreau f985f03fe4 DOC: install: document the fact that SSL engines are not enabled by default
SSL engines used to be built by default for a long time but they're now
disabled consecutive to the API change that makes OpenSSL 3.0 spew plenty
of warnings. Support may still be enabled by passing USE_ENGINE=1.

Willy Tarreau 40a871f09d BUILD: makefile: add a few popular ARMv8 CPU targets
This adds the following CPUs to the makefile:
  - armv81    : modern ARM cores (Cortex A55/A75/A76/A78/X1, Neoverse, Graviton2)
  - a72       : ARM Cortex-A72 or A73 (e.g. RPi4, Odroid N2, VIM3, AWS Graviton)
  - a53       : ARM Cortex-A53 or any of its successors in 64-bit mode (e.g. RPi3)
  - armv8-auto: both older and newer ARMv8 cores, with a minor runtime penalty

The reasons for these ones are:
  - a53 is the common denominator of all of its successors, and does
    support CRC32 which is used by the gzip compression, that the generic
    armv8-a does not ;

  - a72 supports the same features but is an out-of-order one that deserves
    better optimizations; it's found in a number of high-performance
    multi-core CPUs mainly oriented towards I/O and network processing
    (Armada 8040, NXP LX2160A, AWS Graviton), and more recently the
    Raspberry Pi 4. The A73 found in VIM3 and Odroid-N2 can use the same
    optimizations ;

  - armv81 is for generic ARMv8.1-A and above, automatically enables LSE
    atomics which are way more scalable, and CRC32. This one covers modern
    ARMv8 cores such as Cortex A55/A75/A76/A77/A78/X1 and the Neoverse
    family such as found in AWS's Graviton2. The LSE instructions are
    essential for large numbers of cores (8 and above).

  - armv8-auto dynamically enables support for LSE extensions when
    detected while still being compatible with older cores. There is a
    small performance penalty in doing this (~3%) but a same executable
    will perform optimally on a wider range of hardware. This should be
    the best option for distros. It requires gcc-10 or gcc-9.4 and above.

When no CPU is specified, GCC version 10.2 and above will automatically
implement the wrapper used to detect the LSE extensions.
2021-05-12 14:23:22 +02:00
Willy Tarreau 12840be005 BUILD: compression: switch SLZ from out-of-tree to in-tree
Now that SLZ is merged, let's update the makefile and compression
files to use it. As a result, SLZ_INC and SLZ_LIB are neither defined
nor used anymore.

USE_SLZ is enabled by default ("USE_SLZ=default") and can be disabled
by passing "USE_SLZ=" or by enabling USE_ZLIB=1.

The doc was updated to reflect the changes.

Willy Tarreau 39b2fda915 BUILD: Makefile: add linux-musl to TARGET
Other users are using musl, namely on Docker. It builds fine with
linux-glibc-legacy but not linux-glibc, which needs to first disable
USE_BACKTRACE. Better add a valid entry for it instead of hacking
around another libc.

Christian Lachner c13223022c MINOR: build: add aix72-gcc build TARGET and power{8,9} CPUs
As haproxy wont build on AIX 7.2 using the old "aix52" TARGET a new
TARGET was introduced which adds two special CFLAGS to prevent the
loading of AIXs xmem.h and var.h. This is done by defining the
corresponding include-guards _H_XMEM and _H_VAR. Without excluding
those headers-files the build fails because of redefinition errors:

1)
  CC      src/mux_fcgi.o
In file included from /usr/include/sys/uio.h:90,
                 from /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/8.3.0/include-fixed/sys/socket.h:104,
                 from include/common/compat.h:32,
                 from include/common/cfgparse.h:25,
                 from src/mux_fcgi.c:13:

include/types/vars.h:30:8: error: redefinition of 'struct var'
 struct var {
        ^~~

Futhermore, to enable multithreading via USE_THREAD, the atomic
library was added to the LDFLAGS. Finally, two new CPUs were added
to simplify the usage of power8 and power9 optimizations.

This TARGET was only tested on GCC 8.3 and may or may not work on
IBM's native C-compiler (XLC).

Should be backported to 2.1.

Willy Tarreau 4703fddc3a DOC: mention a few common build errors in the INSTALL file
These are some errors met when trying to build with gcc 3.4 on an
old (13 years-old) Solaris 10 and on an even older Linux 2.4 with
glibc 2.2.5. A few options were enough to fix the build there.

Willy Tarreau d254aa8139 DOC: update few references to the linux* targets and change them to linux-glibc
The INSTALL guide, the Lua doc and the Prometheus exporter's README all
used to reference "linux2628", "linux26" or even "linux". These were all
updated to consistently reflect "linux-glibc" instead. The default options
were updated there as well so that it should build cleanly on most distros.

Willy Tarreau b3cc9f2887 Revert "CLEANUP: wurfl: remove dead, broken and unmaintained code"
This reverts commit 8e5e1e7bf0.

The following patches will fix this code and may be backported.
2019-04-23 10:34:43 +02:00
Willy Tarreau c3643517f3 BUILD: Makefile: remove outdated support for dlmalloc
dlmalloc has remained unused for quite a while now, in part because it
is not thread-safe and in part because it has been superseded by the
much better and faster jemalloc. So let's simplify the makefile and
remove entries related to this library.
2019-03-27 14:30:15 +01:00
Willy Tarreau 8e5e1e7bf0 CLEANUP: wurfl: remove dead, broken and unmaintained code
Since the "wurfl" device detection engine was merged slightly more than
two years ago (2016-11-04), it never received a single fix nor update.
For almost two years it didn't receive even the minimal review or changes
needed to be compatible with threads, and it's remained build-broken for
about the last 9 months, consecutive to the last buffer API changes,
without anyone ever noticing! When asked on the list, nobody confirmed
using it :

   https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg32516.html

And obviously nobody even cared to verify that it did still build. So we
are left with this broken code with no user and no maintainer. It might
even suffer from remotely exploitable vulnerabilities without anyone
being able to check if it presents any risk. It's a pain to update each
time there is an API change because it doesn't build as it depends on
external libraries that are not publicly accessible, leading to careful
blind changes. It slows down the whole project. This situation is not
acceptable at all.

It's time to cure the problem where it is. This patch removes all this
dead, non-buildable, non-working code. If anyone ever decides to use it,
which I seriously doubt based on history, it could be reintegrated, but
this time the following guarantees will be required :
  - someone has to step up as a maintainer and have his name listed in
    the MAINTAINERS file (I should have been more careful last time).
    This person will take the sole blame for all issues and will be
    responsible for fixing the bugs and incompatibilities affecting
    this code, and for making it evolve to follow regular internal API
    updates.

  - support building on a standard distro with automated tools (i.e. no
    more "click on this site, register your e-mail and download an
    archive then figure how to place this into your build system").
    Dummy libs are OK though as long as they allow the mainline code to
    build and start.

  - multi-threaded support must be fixed. I mean seriously, not worked
    around with a check saying "please disable threads, we've been busy
    fishing for the last two years".

This may be backported to 1.9 given that the code has never worked there
either, thus at least we're certain nobody will miss it.
