It is necessary for IPv4 over IPv6 nexthop support on FreeBSD,
and RTA_VIA is not really related to MPLS.
It breaks build for some very old systems like Debian 8 and CentOS 7,
but we generally do not support older kernels than 4.14 LTS anyway.
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.

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().
Based on patch from Michal Zagorski <mzagorsk@akamai.com> co-authored
with Pawel Maslanka <pmaslank@akamai.com>. Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
