Remove build-debian-8, build-ubuntu-14_04, build-centos-7, pkg-debian-9,
and pkg-centos-7 targets.
Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04, and CentOS 7 have unsupported kernels, Debian 9
has okay kernel, but is EOL.
Add internal BMP functions with plicit bmp_proto *p as first argument,
which allows using TRACE() macro. Keep list of BMP instances and call
internal functions. Old BMP functions are wrappers that call internal
functions for all enabled BMP instances.
Extract End-of-RIB mark into separate function.
Based on patch from Michal Zagorski <mzagorsk@akamai.com>. Thanks!
This adds support to the Babel protocol for the RTT extension specified
in draft-ietf-babel-rtt-extension. While this extension is not yet at the
RFC stage, it is one of the more useful extensions to Babel[0], so it
seems worth having in Bird as well.
The extension adds timestamps to Hello and IHU TLVs and uses these to
compute an RTT to each neighbour. An extra per-neighbour cost is then
computed from the RTT based on a minimum and maximum interval and cost
value specified in the configuration. The primary use case for this is
improving routing in a geographically distributed tunnel-based overlay
network.
The implementation follows the babeld implementation when picking
constants and default configuration values. It also uses the same RTT
smoothing algorithm as babeld, and follows it in adding a new 'tunnel'
interface type which enables RTT by default.

Add a current_time_now() function which gets an immediate monotonic
timestamp instead of using the cached value from the event loop. This is
useful for callers that need precise times, such as the Babel RTT
measurement code.
Minor changes by committer.
Fix issue with missing AF cap (e.g. IPv4 unicast when no capabilities
are announced).
Add Linpool save/restore action similar to bgp_create_update().

After converting BFD to the new IO loop system, reconfiguration never
really worked. Sadly, we missed this case in our testing suite so it
passed under the radar for quite a while.
Thanks to Andrei Dinu <andrei.dinu@digitalit.ro> for reporting and
isolating this issue.
When an OPEN message without capability options was parsed, the remote
role field was not initialized with the proper (non-zero) default value,
so it was interpreted as if 'provider' was announced.
Thanks to Mikhail Grishin for the bugreport.
Backport some changes from branch oz-parametric-hashes. Replace naive
hash function for IPv6 addresses, fix hashing of VPNx (where upper half
of RD was ignored), fix hashing of MPLS labels (where identity was used).
Basic fib_get() / fib_find() test for random prefixes, FIB_WALK() test,
and benchmark for fib_find(). Also generalize and reuse some code from
trie tests.
A forgotten else-clause caused BIRD to treat some pseudo-random place in
memory as fd-pair. This was happening only on startup of the first
thread in group and the value there in memory was typically zero ... and
writing to stdin succeeded.
When running BIRD with stdin not present (like systemd does), it died on
this spurious write. Now it seems to work correctly.
Thanks to Daniel Suchy <danny@danysek.cz> for reporting.

There was a bug occuring when one thread sought for a src by its global id
and another one was allocating another src with such an ID that it caused
route src global index reallocation. This brief moment of inconsistency
led to a rare use-after-free of the old global index block.
The original algorithm was suffering from an ABA race condition:
A: fp = page_stack
B: completely allocates the same page and writes into it some data
A: unsuspecting, loads (invalid) next = fp->next
B: finishes working with the page and returns it back to page_stack
A: compare-exchange page_stack: fp => next succeeds and writes garbage
to page_stack
Fixed this by using an implicit spinlock in hot page allocator.
If a thread encounters timeout == 0 for poll, it considers itself
"busy" and with some hysteresis it tries to drop loops for others to
pick and thus better distribute work between threads.
The BMP protocol needs OPEN messages of established BGP sessions to
construct appropriate Peer Up messages. Instead of saving them internally
we use OPEN messages stored in BGP instances. This allows BMP instances
to be restarted or enabled later.
Because of this change, we can simplify BMP data structures. No need to
keep track of BGP sessions when we are not started. We have to iterate
over all (established) BGP sessions when the BMP session is established.
This is just a scaffolding now, but some kind of iteration would be
necessary anyway.
Also, the commit cleans up handling of msg/msg_length arguments to be
body/body_length consistently in both rx/tx and peer_up/peer_down calls.
For whatever reason, parser allocated a symbol for every parsed keyword
in each scope. That wasted time and memory. The effect is worsened with
recent changes allowing local scopes, so keywords often promote soft
scopes (with no symbols) to real scopes.
Do not allocate a symbol for a keyword. Take care of keywords that could
be promoted to symbols (kw_sym) and do it explicitly.
The symbol table used just symbol name as a key, and used a trick with
active flag to find symbols in active scopes with one hash table lookup.
The disadvantage is that it can degenerate to O(n) for negative queries
in situations where are many symbols with the same name in different
scopes.
Thanks to Yanko Kaneti for the bugreport.
