We can also quite simply allocate bigger blocks. Anyway, we need these
blocks to be aligned to their size which needs one mmap() two times
bigger and then two munmap()s returning the unaligned parts.
The user can specify -B <N> on startup when <N> is the exponent of 2,
setting the block size to 2^N. On most systems, N is 12, anyway if you
know that your configuration is going to eat gigabytes of RAM, you are
almost forced to raise your block size as you may easily get into memory
fragmentation issues or you have to raise your maximum mapping count,
e.g. "sysctl vm.max_map_count=(number)".
Some cleanups and bugfixes to the previous patch, including:
- Fix rate limiting in index mismatch check
- Fix missing BABEL_AUTH_INDEX_LEN in auth_tx_overhead computation
- Fix missing auth_tx_overhead recalculation during reconfiguration
- Fix pseudoheader construction in babel_auth_sign() (sport vs fport)
- Fix typecasts for ptrdiffs in log messages
- Make auth log messages similar to corresponding RIP/OSPF ones
- Change auth log messages for events that happen during regular
operation to debug messages
- Switch meaning of babel_auth_check*() functions for consistency
with corresponding RIP/OSPF ones
- Remove requirement for min/max key length, only those required by
given MAC code are enforced
This implements support for MAC authentication in the Babel protocol, as
specified by RFC 8967. The implementation seeks to follow the RFC as close
as possible, with the only deliberate deviation being the addition of
support for all the HMAC algorithms already supported by Bird, as well as
the Blake2b variant of the Blake algorithm.
For description of applicability, assumptions and security properties,
see RFC 8967 sections 1.1 and 1.2.
In preparation for adding authentication checks, refactor the TLV
walking code so it can be reused for a separate pass of the packet
for authentication checks.
Add support for specifying a password in hexadecimal format, The result
is the same whether a password is specified as a quoted string or a
hex-encoded byte string, this just makes it more convenient to input
high-entropy byte strings as MAC keys.
Import the blake2-kat.h header with test vector output from the blake
reference implementation, and add tests to mac_test.c to compare the
output of the Bird MAC algorithm implementations with that reference
output.
Since the reference implementation only has test vectors for the full
output size, there are no tests for the smaller-sized output variants.
The Babel MAC authentication RFC recommends implementing Blake2s as one of
the supported algorithms. In order to achieve do this, add the blake2b and
blake2s hash functions for MAC authentication. The hashing function
implementations are the reference implementations from blake2.net.
The Blake2 algorithms allow specifying an arbitrary output size, and the
Babel MAC spec says to implement Blake2s with 128-bit output. To satisfy
this, we add two different variants of each of the algorithms, one using
the default size (256 bits for Blake2s, 512 bits for Blake2b), and one
using half the default output size.
Update to BIRD coding style done by committer.
Add a wrapper function in sysdep to get random bytes, and required checks
in configure.ac to select how to do it. The configure script tries, in
order, getrandom(), getentropy() and reading from /dev/urandom.
Routes from downed protocols stay in rtable (until next rtable prune
cycle ends) and may be even exported to another protocol. In BGP case,
source BGP protocol is examined, although dynamic parts (including
neighbor entries) are already freed. That may lead to crash under some
race conditions. Ensure that freed neighbor entry is not accessed to
avoid this issue.
When an interface disappears, all the neighbors are freed as well. Seqno
requests were anyway not decoupled from them, leading to strange
segfaults. This fix adds a proper seqno request list inside neighbors to
make sure that no pointer to neighbor is kept after free.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
+ pkg targets for some distros added
+ artifacts added
- some distros were commented out (due to errors).
misc/docker/*:
+ Dockerfiles updated with the necessary packages.
init-system-helpers (>= 1.56~) can't be satisfied on:
* Ubuntu 18.04 (1.51)
* Ubuntu 16.04 (1.29)
* Debian 9 (1.48)
Remove the specific version requirement in order to enable build on
older platforms.
Adressing following FTBFS on all older debian/ubuntu distros:
Can't locate LinuxDocTools/Data/Latin1ToSgml.pm in @INC (you may need to install the LinuxDocTools::Data::Latin1ToSgml module)
Files in a single new distro/ dir allow apkg to build BIRD packages for
various distros directly from upstream sources as well as from upstream
archives.
Please see distro/README.md for more detail as well as apkg docs:
https://apkg.rtfd.io
I've used these files to build bird-2.0.8 on all currently supported
releases of following distros:
* Debian
* Ubuntu
* Fedora
* CentOS
* openSUSE
Please note that latest apkg with accumulated fixes for bird is needed:

For numeric operators, comma is used for disjunction in expressions like
"10, 20, 30..40". But for bitmask operators, comma is used for
conjunction in a way that does not really make much sense. Use always
explicit logical operators (&& and ||) to connect bitmask operators.
Thanks to Matt Corallo for the bugreport.
Add support to set or read outgoing MPLS labels using filters. Currently
this supports the addition of one label per route for the first next hop.
Minor changes by committer.
Implement function flow_explicate_part() to convert flowspec numeric
expressions to a simple list of (disjoint, sorted) intervals. That could
be used in filters to build f_tree-based int-sets from them.
The babel protocol code checks whether iface supports multicast, and
whether it has a link-local address assigned. However, it doesn not give
any feedback if any of those checks fail, it just silently ignores the
interface. Fix this by explicitly logging when multicast check fails.
Based on patch from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, thanks!
