This change is required to support TCP/HTTP rules in defaults sections. The
'disabled' bitfield in the proxy structure, used to know if a proxy is
disabled or stopped, is replaced a generic bitfield named 'flags'.
PR_DISABLED and PR_STOPPED flags are renamed to PR_FL_DISABLED and
PR_FL_STOPPED respectively. In addition, everywhere there is a test to know
if a proxy is disabled or stopped, there is now a bitwise AND operation on
PR_FL_DISABLED and/or PR_FL_STOPPED flags.
There is currently a problem related to time keeping. We're mixing
the functions to perform calculations with the os-dependent code
needed to retrieve and adjust the local time.
This patch extracts from time.{c,h} the parts that are solely dedicated
to time keeping. These are the "now" or "before_poll" variables for
example, as well as the various now_*() functions that make use of
gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to retrieve the current time.
The "tv_*" functions moved there were also more appropriately renamed
to "clock_*".
Other parts used to compute stolen time are in other files, they will
have to be picked next.
The second patch from the last series of patches has been redesigned
here, the ist() function is used to set an empty string instead of
working directly with the string pointer.
I thank Tim Düsterhus for his advice.
At the suggestion of Willy Tarreau, the scope of the 'ot.uuid' variable was
changed from 'sess' to 'txn', so it is now limited to the transaction only.
To avoid duplicate source code, the original haproxy function is used to
generate the OpenTracing runtime context UUID.
Also, the structure flt_ot_runtime_context is simplified because the
detailed definition of UUID is removed from it (struct flt_ot_uuid),
ie the UUID is left only in the form of a string.
In case we transfer some data that does not have a set value via the HTTP
header, adding that header in the text map was done incorrectly.
This simple patch allows the use of HTTP headers without a set value.
Due to a recent change in the handling of haproxy variables, their use for
OpenTracing context transfer has been excluded from the compilation process.
The use of variables can be re-enabled if the newly defined variable
OT_USE_VARS is set to 1 when calling the 'make' utility. However,
this should not be used for now as the compilation will end in error.
This change prevents the use of haproxy variables to convey the OpenTracing
context. This means that the 'use-vars' parameter cannot be used in the
OpenTracing filter configuration for 'inject' and 'extract' operations.
An example configuration that uses this feature is in the test/ctx
directory, while the script to run that test is test/run-ctx.sh.
Then, the 'sess.ot.uuid' variable is no longer set when initializing the
OpenTracing session. This means that this variable can still be used in
the OpenTracing configuration, but its contents will be empty.
The API was extended by commit e352b9dac ("MINOR: vars: make vars_get_by_*
support an optional default value") but I didn't notice that opentracing
was using it, so it broke the build. No backport needed.
In case the OpenTracing C Wrapper library was installed as part of the
system (ie in a directory that pkg-config considers part of the system),
HAProxy building was not possible because in that case pkg-config did
not set the value of the OT_CFLAGS variable in the addon Makefile.
This resolves GitHub issue #1323.
This patch solves the problem reported in github issue #1204, where the
OpenTracing filter cannot communicate with the selected tracer if HAProxy
is run in daemon mode.
This commit also solves github issue #1274, where the problem manifests
itself when using the 'chroot' keyword in the HAProxy configuration.
This is solved so that the initialization of the OpenTracing plugin is
split into two operations, first the plugin (dynamic library) is loaded
before switching the HAProxy to daemon mode (or chroot) and then the
tracer thread is started.
This means that nothing is retrieved from the file system in runtime.
After applying this commit, opentracing C wrapper version 1.1.0 should be
used because the earlier version does not have separated initialization
functions.
This resolves GitHub issues #1204 and #1274.
This reverts commit f2263435d7.
This commit is unnecessary because although it solves the problem of using
the OpenTracing filter in daemon mode, it does not solve the same problem
if chroot is used.
The following commit related to the OpenTracing filter solves both problems
efficiently.
The inclusion of header files proxy.h and tools.h was added to the
addons/ot/include/include.h file. Without this HAProxy cannot be
compiled if the OpenTracing filter is to be used.
The presence of this field causes a long dependency chain because almost
everyone includes global-t.h, and vars include sample_data which include
some system includes as well as HTTP parts.
There is absolutely no reason for having the process-wide variables in
the global struct, let's just move them into vars.c and vars.h. This
reduces from ~190k to ~170k the preprocessed output of version.c.
Currently the stats filling function knows nothing about the caller's
needs, so let's pass the STAT_* flags so that it can adapt to the
requester's constraints.
The current "ADD" vs "ADDQ" is confusing because when thinking in terms
of appending at the end of a list, "ADD" naturally comes to mind, but
here it does the opposite, it inserts. Several times already it's been
incorrectly used where ADDQ was expected, the latest of which was a
fortunate accident explained in 6fa922562 ("CLEANUP: stream: explain
why we queue the stream at the head of the server list").
Let's use more explicit (but slightly longer) names now:
LIST_ADD -> LIST_INSERT
LIST_ADDQ -> LIST_APPEND
LIST_ADDED -> LIST_INLIST
LIST_DEL -> LIST_DELETE
The same is true for MT_LISTs, including their "TRY" variant.
LIST_DEL_INIT keeps its short name to encourage to use it instead of the
lazier LIST_DELETE which is often less safe.
The change is large (~674 non-comment entries) but is mechanical enough
to remain safe. No permutation was performed, so any out-of-tree code
can easily map older names to new ones.
The list doc was updated.
In order to enable the assignment of a context name, and yet exclude the
use of that name (prefix in this case) when extracting the context from
the HTTP header, a special character '-' has been added, which can be
specified at the beginning of the prefix.
So let's say if we look at examples of the fe-be configuration, we can
transfer the context via an HTTP header without a prefix like this:
fe/ot.cfg:
..
span "HAProxy session"
inject "" use-headers
event on-backend-http-request
Such a context can be read in another process using a name that has a
special '-' sign at the beginning:
be/ot.cfg:
ot-scope frontend_http_request
extract "-ot-ctx" use-headers
span "HAProxy session" child-of "-ot-ctx" root
..
This means that the context name will be '-ot-ctx' but it will not be
used when extracting data from HTTP headers.
Of course, if the context does not have a prefix set, all HTTP headers
will be inserted into the OpenTracing library as context. All of the
above will only work correctly if that library can figure out what is
relevant to the context and what is not.
It is possible that some arguments within the configuration line are not
specified; that is, they are set to a blank string.
For example:
keyword '' arg_2
In that case the content of the args field will be like this:
args[0]: 'keyword'
args[1]: NULL pointer
args[2]: 'arg_2'
args[3 .. MAX_LINE_ARGS): NULL pointers
The previous way of calculating the number of arguments (as soon as a
null pointer is encountered) could not place an argument on an empty
string.
All of the above is essential for passing the OpenTracing context via
the HTTP headers (keyword 'inject'), where one of the arguments is the
context name prefix. This way we can set an empty prefix, which is very
useful if we get context from some other process that can't add a prefix
to that data; or we want to pass the context to some process that cannot
handle the prefix of that data.
In commit 9533a7038 new parameters have been added to the declaration
of function parse_logsrv().
This patch should be backported to all branches where the OpenTracing
filter is located.
This patch solves the problem reported in github issue #1204, where the
OpenTracing filter cannot communicate with the selected tracer if HAProxy
is run in daemon mode. The author of the reported issue uses Zipkin
tracer, while in this example Jaeger tracer is used (see gdb output below).
The problem is that the OpenTracing library is initialized before HAProxy
initialize the daemon mode. Establishing this mode kills the OpenTracing
thread, after which the correct operation of the OpenTracing filter is no
longer possible. Also, HAProxy crashes on deinitialization of the
OpenTracing library.
The initialization of the OpenTracing library has been moved from the
flt_ot_init() function (which is started before switching the HAProxy to
daemon mode) to the flt_ot_init_per_thread() function (which is run after
switching the HAProxy to daemon mode).

This patch should be backported to all branches where the OpenTracing
filter is located.
This one is the last optional module to build with haproxy, so let's move
it to addons/. It was renamed to "ot" as it was the only one whose USE_*
option did not match the directory name, now this is consistent.
Few changes were required, only the Makefile, and doc were adjusted, as
the directory was already self-contained and relocatable.
Both the source file and the dummy library are now at the same place.
Maybe the build howto could be moved there as well to make things even
cleaner.
The Makefile, MAINTAINERS, doc, and vtest matrix were updated.
Both the source file and the dummy library are now at the same place.
Maybe the build howto could be moved there as well to make things even
cleaner.
The Makefile, MAINTAINERS, doc, github build matrix, coverity checks
and travis CI's build were updated.
Now it's much cleaner, both 51d.c and the dummy library live together and
are easier to spot and maintain. The build howto probably ought to be moved
there as well. Makefile, docs and MAINTAINERS were updated, as well as
the github CI's build matrix, travis CI's, and coverity checks.
Let's start to better organize the addons by moving promex there (and
with an easier directory name). The makefile and maintainers files were
updated, as well as the CI's build matrix.
