Willy Tarreau 75cc65356f MEDIUM: resolvers: replace bogus resolv_hostname_cmp() with memcmp()
resolv_hostname_cmp() is bogus, it is applied on labels and not plain
names, but doesn't make any distinction between length prefixes and
characters, so it compares the labels lengths via tolower() as well.
The only reason for which it doesn't break is because labels cannot
be larger than 63 bytes, and that none of the common encoding systems
have upper case letters in the lower 63 bytes, that could be turned
into a different value via tolower().

Now that all labels are stored in lower case, we don't need to burn
CPU cycles in tolower() at run time and can use memcmp() instead of
resolv_hostname_cmp(). This results in a ~22% lower CPU usage on large
farms using SRV records:

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
  - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
  - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
