Until now although we can follow redirects, and they can promote the
protocol from h1->h2, we couldn't handle h2 wsi reuse since there are many
states in the wsi affected by being h2.
This wipes the related states in lws_wsi_reset() and follows the generic
wsi close flow before deviating into the redirect really close to the end,
ensuring we cleaned out evidence of our previous life properly.
h2->h2 redirects work properly after this.
The max number of redirects is increased from 3 -> 4 since this was seen in
the wild with www and then geographic-based redirects.
Improve how we report what happened with http_proxy... if
we can't recognize the response as http/1.0 or http/1.1
do a CCE with "http_proxy fail", or if we did get valid h1
response but no 200 response code, do a CCE with
"http_proxy -> xxx" where xxx is the decimal representation
of the response code, eg, "http_proxy -> 407"
This provides a build option LWS_WITH_CONMON that lets user code recover
detailed connection stats on client connections with the LCCSCF_CONMON
flag.
In addition to latencies for dns, socket connection, tls and first protocol
response where possible, it also provides the user code an unfiltered list
of DNS responses that the client received, and the peer it actually
succeded to connect to.
There are a few build options that are trying to keep and report
various statistics
- DETAILED_LATENCY
- SERVER_STATUS
- WITH_STATS
remove all those and establish a generic rplacement, lws_metrics.
lws_metrics makes its stats available via an lws_system ops function
pointer that the user code can set.
Openmetrics export is supported, for, eg, prometheus scraping.
This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
This adds some new objects and helpers for keeping and logging
info on grouped allocations, a group is, eg, SS handles or client
wsis.
Allocated objects get a context-unique "tag" string intended to replace
%p / wsi pointers etc. Pointers quickly become confusing when
allocations are freed and reused, the tag string won't repeat
until you produce 2^64 objects in a context.
In addition the tag string documents the object group, with prefixes
like "wsi-" or "vh-" and contain object-specific additional
information like the vhost name, address / port or the role of the wsi.
At creation time the lws code can use a format string and args
to add whatever group-specific info makes sense, eg, a wsi bound
to a secure stream can also append the guid of the secure stream,
it's copied into the new object tag and so is still available
cleanly after the stream is destroyed if the wsi outlives it.
role ops are usually only sparsely filled, there are currently 20
function pointers but several roles only fill in two. No single
role has more than 14 of the ops. On a 32/64 bit build this part
of the ops struct takes a fixed 80 / 160 bytes then.
First reduce the type of the callback reason part from uint16_t to
uint8_t, this saves 12 bytes unconditionally.
Change to a separate function pointer array with a nybble index
array, it costs 10 bytes for the index and a pointer to the
separate array, for 32-bit the cost is
2 + (4 x ops_used)
and for 64-bit
6 + (8 x ops_used)
for 2 x ops_used it means 32-bit: 10 vs 80 / 64-bit: 22 vs 160
For a typical system with h1 (9), h2 (14), listen (2), netlink (2),
pipe (1), raw_skt (3), ws (12), == 43 ops_used out of 140, it means
the .rodata for this reduced from 32-bit: 560 -> 174 (386 byte
saving) and 64-bit: 1120 -> 350 (770 byte saving)
This doesn't account for the changed function ops calling code, two
ways were tried, a preprocessor macro and explicit functions
For an x86_64 gcc 10 build with most options, release mode,
.text + .rodata
before patch: 553282
accessor macro: 552714 (568 byte saving)
accessor functions: 553674 (392 bytes worse than without patch)
therefore we went with the macros
They have been in lib/roles/http for historical reasons, and all
ended up in client-handshake.c that doesn't describe what they
actually do any more. Separate out the staged client connect
related stage functions into
lib/core-net/client/client2.c: lws_client_connect_2_dnsreq()
lib/core-net/client/client3.c: lws_client_connect_3_connect()
lib/core-net/client/client4.c: lws_client_connect_4_established()
Move a couple of other functions from there that don't belong out to
tls-client.c and client-http.c, which is related to http and remains
in the http role dir.
Currently we always reserve a fakewsi per pt so events that don't have a related actual
wsi, like vhost-protocol-init or vhost cert init via protocol callback can make callbacks
that look reasonable to user protocol handler code expecting a valid wsi every time.
This patch splits out stuff that user callbacks often unconditionally expect to be in
a wsi, like context pointer, vhost pointer etc into a substructure, which is composed
into struct lws at the top of it. Internal references (struct lws is opaque, so there
are only internal references) are all updated to go via the substructre, the compiler
should make that a NOP.
Helpers are added when fakewsi is used and referenced.
If not PLAT_FREERTOS, we continue to provide a full fakewsi in the pt as before,
although the helpers improve consistency by zeroing down the substructure. There is
a huge amount of user code out there over the last 10 years that did not always have
the minimal examples to follow, some of it does some unexpected things.
If it is PLAT_FREERTOS, that is a newer thing in lws and users have the benefit of
being able to follow the minimal examples' approach. For PLAT_FREERTOS we don't
reserve the fakewsi in the pt any more, saving around 800 bytes. The helpers then
create a struct lws_a (the substructure) on the stack, zero it down (but it is only
like 4 pointers) and prepare it with whatever we know like the context.
Then we cast it to a struct lws * and use it in the user protocol handler call.
In this case, the remainder of the struct lws is undefined. However the amount of
old protocol handlers that might touch things outside of the substructure in
PLAT_FREERTOS is very limited compared to legacy lws user code and the saving is
significant on constrained devices.
User handlers should not be touching everything in a wsi every time anyway, there
are several cases where there is no valid wsi to do the call with. Dereference of
things outside the substructure should only happen when the callback reason shows
there is a valid wsi bound to the activity (as in all the minimal examples).
