This doesn't necessarily make things faster, because we still spend more time
in dns_answer_add(), but it improves the compuational complexity of this part.
If we even make dns_resource_key_equal_faster, this will become worthwhile.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Previously we were a bit sloppy with the index and size types of arrays,
we'd regularly use unsigned. While I don't think this ever resulted in
real issues I think we should be more careful there and follow a
stricter regime: unless there's a strong reason not to use size_t for
array sizes and indexes, size_t it should be. Any allocations we do
ultimately will use size_t anyway, and converting forth and back between
unsigned and size_t will always be a source of problems.
Note that on 32bit machines "unsigned" and "size_t" are equivalent, and
on 64bit machines our arrays shouldn't grow that large anyway, and if
they do we have a problem, however that kind of overly large allocation
we have protections for usually, but for overflows we do not have that
so much, hence let's add it.
So yeah, it's a story of the current code being already "good enough",
but I think some extra type hygiene is better.
This patch tries to be comprehensive, but it probably isn't and I missed
a few cases. But I guess we can cover that later as we notice it. Among
smaller fixes, this changes:
1. strv_length()' return type becomes size_t
2. the unit file changes array size becomes size_t
3. DNS answer and query array sizes become size_t

Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

This means that libidn2 refuses to encode such names.
Let's just resolve them without trying to use IDN.
libidn2 2.0.0 supports IDNA2008, in contrast to libidn which supports IDNA2003.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449145
From that bug report:
Internationalized domain names exist for quite some time (IDNA2003), although
the protocols describing them have evolved in an incompatible way (IDNA2008).
These incompatibilities will prevent applications written for IDNA2003 to
access certain problematic domain names defined with IDNA2008, e.g., faß.de is
translated to domain xn--fa-hia.de with IDNA2008, while in IDNA2003 it is
translated to fass.de domain. That not only causes incompatibility problems,
but may be used as an attack vector to redirect users to different web sites.
v2:
- keep libidn support
- require libidn2 >= 2.0.0
v3:
- keep dns_name_apply_idna caller dumb, and keep the #ifdefs inside of the
function.
- use both ±IDN and ±IDN2 in the version string
Let's avoid thinking that a CNAME/DNAME chain traversal could be a good idea if QTYPE is already CNAME/DNAME.
(Also, let's bail out early when trying to see if some RR is a suitable CNAME/DNAME for some other RR).
Move IDNA logic out of the normal domain name processing, and into the bus frontend calls. Previously whenever
comparing two domain names we'd implicitly do IDNA conversion so that "pöttering.de" and "xn--pttering-n4a.de" would be
considered equal. This is problematic not only for DNSSEC, but actually also against he IDNA specs.
Moreover it creates problems when encoding DNS-SD services in classic DNS. There, the specification suggests using
UTF8 encoding for the actual service name, but apply IDNA encoding to the domain suffix.
With this change IDNA conversion is done only:
- When the user passes a non-ASCII hostname when resolving a host name using ResolveHostname()
- When the user passes a non-ASCII domain suffix when resolving a service using ResolveService()
No IDNA encoding is done anymore:
- When the user does raw ResolveRecord() RR resolving
- On the service part of a DNS-SD service name
Previously, IDNA encoding was done when serializing names into packets, at a point where information whether something
is a label that needs IDNA encoding or not was not available, but at a point whether it was known whether to generate a
classic DNS packet (where IDNA applies), or an mDNS/LLMNR packet (where IDNA does not apply, and UTF8 is used instead
for all host names). With this change each DnsQuery object will now maintain two copies of the DnsQuestion to ask: one
encoded in IDNA for use with classic DNS, and one encoded in UTF8 for use with LLMNR and MulticastDNS.
Apart from dropping redundant information, this fixes an issue
where, due to broken DNS servers, we can only be certain of whether
an apparent NODATA response is in fact an NXDOMAIN response after
explicitly resolving the canonical name. This issue is outlined in
RFC2308. Moreover, by caching NXDOMAIN for an existing name, we
would mistakenly return NXDOMAIN for types which should not be
redirected. I.e., a query for AAAA on test-nx-1.jklm.no correctly
returns NXDOMAIN, but a query for CNAME should return the record
and a query for DNAME should return NODATA.
Note that this means we will not cache an NXDOMAIN response in the
presence of redirection, meaning one redundant roundtrip in case the
name is queried again.
This adds support for searching single-label hostnames in a set of
configured search domains.
A new object DnsQueryCandidate is added that links queries to scopes.
It keeps track of the search domain last used for a query on a specific
link. Whenever a host name was unsuccessfuly resolved on a scope all its
transactions are flushed out and replaced by a new set, with the next
search domain appended.
This also adds a new flag SD_RESOLVED_NO_SEARCH to disable search domain
behaviour. The "systemd-resolve-host" tool is updated to make this
configurable via --search=.
Fixes#1697
Wen DnsQuestion objects are used for DnsQuery objects all contained keys
have to share the same name, but otherwise they generally don't have to,
and this can actually happen in real-life because DnsPacket objects for
mDNS use DnsQuestion for the question section.
Hence, rename:
dns_question_is_valid() to dns_question_is_valid_for_query(), since the
name uniqueness check it does is only relevant when used for a query.
Similar, rename dns_question_name() to dns_question_first_name(),
to be more accurate, as this difference matters if we keys don#t have to
share the same name.
This also adds client-side support for this to systemd-resolve-host.
Note that the ResolveService() API can deal both with DNS-SD service
(consisting of service name, type and domain), as well as classic SRV
services (consisting just of a type and a domain), all exposed in the
same call.
This patch also reworks CNAME handling in order to reuse it between
hostname, RR and service lookups.
In contrast to Avahi and Bonjour, this new API will actually reolve the
A/AAAA RRs the SRV RRs point to in one go (unless this is explicitly
disabled). This normally comes for free, as these RRs are sent along
the SRV responses anyway, hence let's make use of that. This makes the
API considerably easier to use, as a single ResolveService() invocation
will return all necessary data to pick a server and connect() to it.
Note that this only implements the DNS-SD resolving step, it does not
implement DNS-SD browsing, as that makes sense primarily on mDNS, due to
its continuous nature.
Let's simplify things and only maintain a single RR key per transaction
object, instead of a full DnsQuestion. Unicast DNS and LLMNR don't
support multiple questions per packet anway, and Multicast DNS suggests
coalescing questions beyond a single dns query, across the whole system.
Let's optimize things a bit and properly compare DNS question arrays,
instead of checking if they are mutual supersets. This also makes ANY
query handling more accurate.
