This is a backport cherry-pick of commits
165156beebcce974e8ea
from the v3.0 branch as we need symbol hashes directly inside their
scopes for more general usage than before.
The redefinable keywords must be specified in any .Y file as follows:
toksym: THE_KEYWORD ;
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.

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.
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.
Hooks called from BGP to BMP should not log warning when BMP is not
connected, that is not an error (and we do not want to flood logs with
a ton of messages).
Blocked sk_send() should not log warning, that is expected situation.
Error during sk_send() is handled in error hook anyway.
Replace broken TCP connection management with a simple state machine.
Handle failed attempts properly with a timeout, detect and handle TCP
connection close and try to reconnect after that. Remove useless
'station_connected' flag.
Keep open messages saved even after the BMP session establishment,
so they can be used after BMP session flaps.
Use proper log messages for session events.
Use local variable to refence relevant instance instead of using global
instance ptr. Also, use 'p' variable instead of 'bmp' so we can use
common macros like TRACE().
Most error handling code was was for cases that cannot happen,
or they would be code bugs (and should use ASSERT()). Keep error
handling for just for I/O errors, like in rest of BIRD.
Initial implementation of a basic subset of the BMP (BGP Monitoring
Protocol, RFC 7854) from Akamai team. Submitted for further review
and improvement.
The support for IPv4 routes with IPv6 nexthops was implemented in FreeBSD
13.1, this patch allows to import and export such routes from/to kernel.
Minor change from committer.
When lp_save() is called on an empty linpool, then some allocation is
done, then lp_restore() is called, the linpool is restored but the used
chunks are inaccessible. Fix it.
Missing translation from BGP attribute ID to eattr ID in bgp_unset_attr()
broke automatic removal of bgp_med during export to EBGP peers.
Thanks to Edward Sun for the bugreport.
The feature of showing all prefixes inside the given one has been added
in v2.0.9 but not well documented. Fixing it by this update.
Text in doc and commit message added by commiter.
Even though the free bind option is primarily meant to alleviate problems
with addresses assigned too late, it's also possible to use BIRD with AnyIP
configuration, assigning whole ranges to the machine. Therefore free bind
allows also to create an outbound connection from specific address even though
such address is not assigned.
and "%M" formats expect "Input/output error" message but musl returns
"I/O error". Proposed change compares the printf output with string
returned from strerror function for EIO constant.

Minor change from committer.
When a linpool is used to allocate a one-off big load of memory, it
makes no sense to keep that amount of memory for future use inside the
linpool. Contrary to previous implementations where the memory was
directly free()d, we now use the page allocator which has an internal
cache which keeps the released pages for us and subsequent allocations
simply get these released pages back.
And even if the page cleanup routine kicks in inbetween, the pages get
only madvise()d, not munmap()ed so performance aspects are negligible.
This may fix some memory usage peaks in extreme cases.
The change 371eb49043 introduced early free
of old_config. Unfortunately, it did not properly check whether it is not
still in use (blocked by obstacle during reconfiguration). Fix that.
It also means that we still could have a short peak when three configs
are in use (when a new reconfig is requeste while the previous one is
still active).
The babel protocol normally sends all its messages as multicast packets,
but the protocol specification allows most messages to be sent as either
unicast or multicast, and the two can be mixed freely. In particular, the
babeld implementation can be configured to unicast updates to all peers
instead of sending them as unicast.
Daniel discovered that this can cause problems with the packet counter
checks in the MAC extension due to packet reordering. This happens on WiFi
networks where clients have power save enabled (which is quite common in
infrastructure networks): in this case, the access point will buffer all
multicast traffic and only send it out along with its beacons, leading to a
maximum buffering in default Linux-based access point configuration of up
to 200 ms.
This means that a Babel sender that mixes unicast and multicast messages
can have the unicast messages overtake the multicast messages because of
this buffering; when authentication is enabled, this causes the receiver to
discard the multicast message when it does arrive because it now has a
packet counter value less than the unicast message that arrived before it.
Daniel observed that this happens frequently enough that Babel ceases to
work entirely when runner over a WiFi network.
The issue has been described in draft-ietf-babel-mac-relaxed, which is
currently pending RFC publication. That also describes two mitigation
mechanisms: Keeping separate PC counters for unicast and multicast, and
using a reorder window for PC values. This patch implements the former as
that is the simplest, and resolves the particular issue seen on WiFi.
Thanks to Daniel Gröber for the bugreport.
