These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
DNS queries need timeout values to detect whether a DNS server is
unresponsive or, if the query is sent over UDP, whether a DNS message
was lost and has to be resent. The total time that it takes to answer a
query to arrive is t + RTT, where t is the maximum time that the DNS
server that is being queried needs to answer the query.
An authoritative server stores a copy of the zone that it serves in main
memory or secondary storage, so t is very small and therefore the time
that it takes to answer a query is almost entirely determined by the
RTT. Modern authoritative server software keeps its zones in main memory
and, for example, Knot DNS and NSD are able to answer in less than
100 µs [1]. So iterative resolvers continuously measure the RTT to
optimize their query timeouts and to resend queries more quickly if they
are lost.
systemd-resolved is a stub resolver: it forwards DNS queries to an
upstream resolver and waits for an answer. So the time that it takes for
systemd-resolved to answer a query is determined by the RTT and the time
that it takes the upstream resolver to answer the query.
It seems common for iterative resolver software to set a total timeout
for the query. Such total timeout subsumes the timeout of all queries
that the iterative has to make to answer a query. For example, BIND
seems to use a default timeout of 10 s.
At the moment systemd-resolved derives its query timeout entirely from
the RTT and does not consider the query timeout of the upstream
resolver. Therefore it often mistakenly degrades the feature set of its
upstream resolvers if it takes them longer than usual to answer a query.
It has been reported to be a considerable problem in practice, in
particular if DNSSEC=yes. So the query timeout systemd-resolved should
be derived from the timeout of the upstream resolved and the RTT to the
upstream resolver.
At the moment systemd-resolved measures the RTT as the time that it
takes the upstream resolver to answer a query. This clearly leads to
incorrect measurements. In order to correctly measure the RTT
systemd-resolved would have to measure RTT separately and continuously,
for example with a query with an empty question section or a query for
the SOA RR of the root zone so that the upstream resolver would be able
to answer to query without querying another server. However, this
requires significant changes to systemd-resolved. So it seems best to
postpone them until other issues have been addressed and to set the
resend timeout to a fixed value for now.
As mentioned, BIND seems to use a timeout of 10 s, so perhaps 12 s is a
reasonable value that also accounts for common RTT values. If we assume
that the we are going to retry, it could be less. So it should be enough
to set the resend timeout to DNS_TIMEOUT_MAX_USEC as
DNS_SERVER_FEATURE_RETRY_ATTEMPTS * DNS_TIMEOUT_MAX_USEC = 15 s.
However, this will not solve the incorrect feature set degradation and
should be seen as a temporary change until systemd-resolved does
probe the feature set of an upstream resolver independently from the
actual queries.

Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
Currently, we accept SERVFAIL after downgrading fully, cache it and move
on. Let's extend this a bit: after downgrading fully, if the SERVFAIL
logic continues to be an issue, then use a different DNS server if there
are any.
Fixes: #7147
As discussed in RFC 6762, Section 8.2 a race condition may
happen when two hosts are probing for the same name simultaniously.
Detect and handle such race conditions.
According to RFC 6762 Section 8.2 "Simultaneous Probe Tiebreaking"
probing queries' Authority Section is populated with proposed
resource records in order to resolve possible race conditions.
This is our own header, we should include use the local-include syntax
("" not <>), to make it clear we are including the one from the build tree.
All other includes of files from src/systemd/ use this scheme.
For caching negative replies we need the SOA TTL information. Hence,
let's authenticate all auxiliary SOA RRs through DS requests on all
negative requests.
This is the most important piece of information of replies, hence show
this in the first log message about it.
(Wireshark shows it too in the short summary, hence this definitely
makes sense...)
Retrying a transaction via TCP is a good approach for mitigating
packet loss. However, it's not a good away way to fix a bad RCODE if we
already downgraded to UDP level for it. Hence, don't do this.
This is a small tweak only, but shortens the time we spend on
downgrading when a specific domain continously returns a bad rcode.
When we are doing a TCP transaction the kernel will automatically resend
all packets for us, there's no need to do that ourselves. Hence:
increase the timeout for TCP transactions substantially, to give the
kernel enough time to connect to the peer, without interrupting it when
we become impatient.
Embedding sd_id128_t's in constant strings was rather cumbersome. We had
SD_ID128_CONST_STR which returned a const char[], but it had two problems:
- it wasn't possible to statically concatanate this array with a normal string
- gcc wasn't really able to optimize this, and generated code to perform the
"conversion" at runtime.
Because of this, even our own code in coredumpctl wasn't using
SD_ID128_CONST_STR.
Add a new macro to generate a constant string: SD_ID128_MAKE_STR.
It is not as elegant as SD_ID128_CONST_STR, because it requires a repetition
of the numbers, but in practice it is more convenient to use, and allows gcc
to generate smarter code:
$ size .libs/systemd{,-logind,-journald}{.old,}

It is also much easier to check if a certain binary uses a certain MESSAGE_ID:

We don't actually make use of the return value for now, but it matches
our coding style elsewhere, and it actually shortens our code quite a
bit.
Also, add a missing OOM check after dns_answer_new().
Otherwise we fail an assertion down the path since t->timeout_event_source is NULL
and it's the "other" transaction that's supposed to have the event source.

Currently resolving mDNS requests doesn't work because in
dns_transaction_process_reply() no answer gets installed into
mDNS transactions.
When receiving a mDNS reply we should not check for query section
equivalence of the request and its corresponsing response. But still
we need to install answers to mDNS transactions to make it possible
to actually resolve mDNS requests.

In some cases, caching DNS results locally is not desirable, a it makes DNS
cache poisoning attacks a tad easier and also allows users on the system to
determine whether or not a particular domain got visited by another user. Thus
provide a new "Cache" resolved.conf option to disable it.
Some upstream DNS servers return SERVFAIL if we ask them for DNSSEC RRs, which
some forwarding DNS servers pass on to us as SERVFAIL (other though as
NOERROR...). This is should not be considered a problem, as long as the domain
in question didn't have DNSSEC enabled. Hence: when making use of auxiliary
transactions accept those that return SERVFAIL.
There might be two reasons why we get a SERVFAIL response from our selected DNS
server: because this DNS server itself is bad, or because the DNS server
actually serving the zone upstream is bad. So far we immediately downgraded our
server feature level when getting SERVFAIL, under the assumption that the first
case is the only possible case. However, this meant we'd downgrade immediately
even if we encountered the second case described above.
With this commit handling of SERVFAIL is reworked. As soon as we get a SERVFAIL
on a transaction we retry the transaction with a lower feature level, without
changing the feature level tracked for the DNS server itself. If that fails
too, we downgrade further, and so on. If during this downgrading the SERVFAIL
goes away we assume that the DNS server we are talking to is bad, but the zone
is fine and propagate the detected feature level to the information we track
about the DNS server. Should the SERVFAIL not go away this way we let the
transaction fail and accept the SERVFAIL.
In order to improve compatibility with local clients that speak DNS directly
(and do not use NSS or our bus API) listen locally on 127.0.0.53:53 and process
any queries made that way.
Note that resolved does not implement a full DNS server on this port, but
simply enough to allow normal, local clients to resolve RRs through resolved.
Specifically it does not implement queries without the RD bit set (these are
requests where recursive lookups are explicitly disabled), and neither queries
with DNSSEC DO set in combination with DNSSEC CD (i.e. DNSSEC lookups with
validation turned off). It also refuses zone transfers and obsolete RR types.
All lookups done this way will be rejected with a clean error code, so that the
client side can repeat the query with a reduced feature set.
The code will set the DNSSEC AD flag however, depending on whether the data
resolved has been validated (or comes from a local, trusted source).
Lookups made via this mechanisms are propagated to LLMNR and mDNS as necessary,
but this is only partially useful as DNS packets cannot carry IP scope data
(i.e. the ifindex), and hence link-local addresses returned cannot be used
properly (and given that LLMNR/mDNS are mostly about link-local communication
this is quite a limitation). Also, given that DNS tends to use IDNA for
non-ASCII names, while LLMNR/mDNS uses UTF-8 lookups cannot be mapped 1:1.
In general this should improve compatibility with clients bypassing NSS but
it is highly recommended for clients to instead use NSS or our native bus API.
This patch also beefs up the DnsStream logic, as it reuses the code for local
TCP listening. DnsStream now provides proper reference counting for its
objects.
In order to avoid feedback loops resolved will no silently ignore 127.0.0.53
specified as DNS server when reading configuration.
resolved listens on 127.0.0.53:53 instead of 127.0.0.1:53 in order to leave
the latter free for local, external DNS servers or forwarders.
This also changes the "etc.conf" tmpfiles snippet to create a symlink from
/etc/resolv.conf to /usr/lib/systemd/resolv.conf by default, thus making this
stub the default mode of operation if /etc is not populated.
When we return the full RR wire data, let's make sure the TTL included in it is
adjusted by the time the RR sat in the cache.
As an optimization we do this only for ResolveRecord() and not for
ResolveHostname() and friends, since adjusting the TTL means copying the RR
object, and we don#t want to do that if there's no reason to.
(ResolveHostname() and friends don't return the TTL hence there's no reason to
in that case)
dns_transaction_maybe_restart() is supposed to return 1 if the the transaction
has been restarted and 0 otherwise. dns_transaction_process_dnssec() relies on
this behaviour. Before this change in case of restart we'd call
dns_transaction_go() when restarting the lookup, returning its return value
unmodified. This is wrong however, as that function returns 1 if the
transaction is pending, and 0 if it completed immediately, which is a very
different set of return values. Fix this, by always returning 1 on redirection.
The wrong return value resulted in all kinds of bad memory accesses as we might
continue processing a transaction that was redirected and completed immediately
(and thus freed).
This patch also adds comments to the two functions to clarify the return values
for the future.
Most likely fixes: #2942#3475#3484
incapdns.net returns NXDOMAIN for the SOA of the zone itself but is not a
terminal. This is against the specs, but we really should be able to deal with
this.
Previously, when verifying whether an NXDOMAIN response for a SOA/NS lookup is
rightfully unsigned we'd issue a SOA lookup for the parent's domain, to derive
the state from that. If the parent SOA would get an NXDOMAIN, we'd continue
upwards, until we hit a signed top-level domain, which suggests that the domain
actually exists.
With this change whenver we need to authenticate an NXDOMAIN SOA reply, we'll
request the DS RR for the zone first, and use for validation, since that this
must be from the parent's zone, not the incorrect lower zone.
Fixes: #2894
