Nonterminal bytestring allows to provide expressions to be evaluated in
places where BYTETEXT is used now: passwords, radv custom option.
Based on the patch from Alexander Zubkov <green@qrator.net>, thanks!
- Rename BYTESTRING lexem to BYTETEXT, not to collide with 'bytestring' type name
- Add bytestring type with id T_BYTESTRING (0x2c)
- Add from_hex() filter function to create bytestring from hex string
- Add filter test cases for bytestring type

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.
When f_line is done, we have to pop the stack frame. The old code just
removed nominal number of args/vars. Change it to use stored ventry value
modified by number of returned values. This allows to allocate variables
on a stack frame during execution of f_lines instead of just at start.
But we need to know the number of returned values for a f_line. It is 1
for term, 0 for cmd. Store that to f_line during linearization.
When writing flow4 { dst 2001:db8::dead:beef/128; }, BIRD crashed on an
not-well-debuggable segfault as it tried to copy the whole 128-bit
prefix into an IPv4-sized memory.
Some tokens are both keywords and symbols. For now, we allow only
specific keywords to be redefined; in future, more of the keywords may
be added to this category.
The redefinable keywords must be specified in any .Y file as follows:
toksym: THE_KEYWORD ;
See proto/bgp/config.Y for an example.
Also dropped a lot of unused terminals.
Changes in internal API:
* Every route attribute must be defined as struct ea_class somewhere.
* Registration of route attributes known at startup must be done by
ea_register_init() from protocol build functions.
* Every attribute has now its symbol registered in a global symbol table
defined as SYM_ATTRIBUTE
* All attribute ID's are dynamically allocated.
* Attribute value custom formatting hook is defined in the ea_class.
* Attribute names are the same for display and filters, always prefixed
by protocol name.
Also added some unit testing code for filters with route attributes.
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.
The patch add support for per-channel debug flags, currently just
'states', 'routes', and 'filters'. Flag 'states' is used for channel
state changes, remaining two for routes passed through the channel.
The per-protocol debug flags 'routes'/'filters' still enable reporting
of routes for all channels, to keep existing behavior.
The patch causes minor changes in some log messages.
Merge multiple BFD option blocks in BGP configs instead of using the last
one. That is necessary for proper handling of templates when BFD options
are used both in a BGP template and in a BGP protocol derived from that
template.
BFD session options are configured per interface in BFD protocol. This
patch allows to specify them also per-request in protocols requesting
sessions (currently limited to BGP).
This is a major change of how the filters are interpreted. If everything
works how it should, it should not affect you unless you are hacking the
filters themselves.
Anyway, this change should make a huge improvement in the filter performance
as previous benchmarks showed that our major problem lies in the
recursion itself.
There are also some changes in nest and protocols, related mostly to
spreading const declarations throughout the whole BIRD and also to
refactored dynamic attribute definitions. The need of these came up
during the whole work and it is too difficult to split out these
not-so-related changes.
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the
MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is
refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more
integrated into MRT in the future.
Example:
protocol mrt {
table "*";
filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt";
period 60;
}
It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
The two-letter instructions were quite messy but they could be easily
read from memory dumps. Now GDB (since 2012) supports pretty printing
enum values and GCC checks the switch construction for missing enum
values so we are converting the nice two-byte values to enums.
Anyway, the enum still keeps the old two-byte values to be able to read
the instruction codes even without GDB from plain memory dump.
This patch adds support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD core.
This is based on Dean Luga's original patch, with the review comments
addressed. SADR support is added to network address parsing in confbase.Y
and to the kernel protocol on Linux.
Currently there is no way to mix source-specific and non-source-specific
routes (i.e., SADR tables cannot be connected to non-SADR tables).
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.
From now on, protocol static accepts VPN4 and VPN6 addressess.
With some concerns about VPN6 Route Distinguishers, I finally chose
to have the same format as for VPN4 (where it is defined by RFC 4364).
Anyway, Bird is now capable to insert both MPLS routes and MPLS encap
routes into kernel.
It was (among others) needed to define platform-specific AF_MPLS to 28
as this constant has been assigned in the linux kernel.
No support for BSD now, it may be added in the future.
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's
accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.
Moved Makefile.in into root dir
Retired all.o and birdlib.a
Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
Example:
protocol static
{
route 10.110.0.0/16 max 16 as 1000 blackhole;
route 10.120.0.0/16 max 24 as 1000 blackhole;
route 10.130.0.0/16 max 24 as 2000 blackhole;
route 10.130.128.0/18 max 24 as 3000 blackhole;
...
}
Explicit setting of AF_INET(6|) in IP socket creation. BFD set to listen
on v6, without setting the V6ONLY flag to catch both v4 and v6 traffic.
Squashing and minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
Permit specifying neighbor address, AS number and port independently.
Add 'interface' parameter for specifying interface for link-local
sessions independently.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the original patch.
- ROA tables, which are used as a basic part for RPKI.
- Commands for examining and modifying ROA tables.
- Filter operators based on ROA tables consistent with RFC 6483.
- Fixes several conflicts in the grammar.
- Fixes a bug in (a..b, c) pair patterns.
- Makes pair patterns orthogonal.
- Allows term expressions in pair patterns without additional ( ).
- Allows several comma separated values in switch cases.
The old BIRD grammar needs two lookaheads to distinguish if..else from
else: in case, which caused the parser to fail on some combinations of
both expressions.
This patch replaces two tokens 'else' ':' by one token 'else:' to fix
that.
Prefix sets were broken beyond any repair and have to be reimplemented.
They are reimplemented using a trie with bitmasks in nodes.
There is also change in the interpretation of minus prefix pattern,
but the old interpretation was already inconsistent with
the documentation and broken.
There is also some bugfixes in filter code related to set variables.
