Trying to use a remote pool is very variable with CI, the builder can
force a local ntpd this way cleanly.
When enabled all the test apps use ntpclient, so this lets us tell them all to
go to the local ntpd in one hit.
LWS builds OK on iOS SDK as unix type plat, except it
doesn't have net/route.h.
Detect we're building on iOS at CMake and export a
preprocessor define we can use to snip out the missing
include.
UDP: call to recv() in there for unknown reasons was trashing udp
delays: pending tls (where data is buffered and no pending POLLIN)
was not reflected in forcing the wait to 0 properly.
The mbedtls openssl wrapper wants to use exports from mbedtls' net_sockets.c,
but this is only supposed to work on *nix and windows. Typically people
are using mbedtls on RTOS type platforms and to use it, net_sockets.c
needs some hacking.
Try to avoid that situation by porting the two exports we need into the
lws plat code and call from the wrapper.
Headers related to ws or h2 are now elided if the ws or h2 role
is not enabled for build. In addition, a new build-time option
LWS_WITH_HTTP_UNCOMMON_HEADERS on by default allows removal of
less-common http headers to shrink the parser footprint.
Minilex is adapted to produce 8 different versions of the lex
table, chosen at build-time according to which headers are
included in the build.
If you don't need the unusual headers, or aren't using h2 or ws,
this chops down the size of the ah and the rodata needed to hold
the parsing table from 87 strings / pointers to 49, and the
parsing table from 1177 to 696 bytes.
From eventfd man page:
Applications can use an eventfd file descriptor instead of a pipe (see
pipe(2)) in all cases where a pipe is used simply to signal events.
The kernel overhead of an eventfd file descriptor is much lower than
that of a pipe, and only one file descriptor is required
(versus the two required for a pipe).
Add selectable event lib support to minimal-http-client-multi and
clean up context destroy flow so we can use lws_destroy_context() from
inside the callback to indicate we want to end the event loop, without
using the traditional "interrupted" flag and in a way that works no
matter which event loop backend is being used.
This provides support to build lws using the linkit 7697 public SDK
from here https://docs.labs.mediatek.com/resource/mt7687-mt7697/en/downloads
This toolchain has some challenges, its int32_t / uint32_t are long,
so assumptions about format strings for those being %u / %d / %x all
break. This fixes all the cases for the features enabled by the
default cmake settings.
Freertos + lwip doesn't support pipe2() or pipe()... implement a "pipe"
based on two UDP sockets, one listening on 127.0.0.1:54321 and the other
doing a sendto() there of a single byte to interrupt the event loop wait.
Re-use the arrangements for actual pipe fds and pipe role to deliver
lws_cancel_service() functionality using this.
There are some minor public api type improvements rather than cast everywhere
inside lws and user code to work around them... these changed from int to
size_t
- lws_buflist_use_segment() return
- lws_tokenize_t .len and .token_len
- lws_tokenize_cstr() length
- lws_get_peer_simple() namelen
- lws_get_peer_simple_fd() namelen, int fd -> lws_sockfd_type fd
- lws_write_numeric_address() len
- lws_sa46_write_numeric_address() len
These changes are typically a NOP for user code
This changes the approach of tx credit management to set the
initial stream tx credit window to zero. This is the only way
with RFC7540 to gain the ability to selectively precisely rx
flow control incoming streams.
At the time the headers are sent, a WINDOW_UPDATE is sent with
the initial tx credit towards us for that specific stream. By
default, this acts as before with a 256KB window added for both
the stream and the nwsi, and additional window management sent
as stuff is received.
It's now also possible to set a member in the client info
struct and a new option LCCSCF_H2_MANUAL_RXFLOW to precisely
manage both the initial tx credit for a specific stream and
the ongoing rate limit by meting out further tx credit
manually.
Add another minimal example http-client-h2-rxflow demonstrating how
to force a connection's peer's initial budget to transmit to us
and control it during the connection lifetime to restrict the amount
of incoming data we have to buffer.
Pre-sul, checking for interval to next pending scheduled event was expensive and
iterative, so the service avoided it if the wait was already 0.
With sul though, the internal "check" function also services ripe events and
removes them, and finding the interval to the next one is really cheap.
Rename the "check" function to __lws_sul_service_ripe() to make it clear it's
not just about returning the interval to the next pending one. And call it
regardless of if we already decided we are not going to wait in the poll.
After https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/pull/1745
As it is, if time_t is 32-bit on the platform it might lead to
arithmetic overflow, so force it to lws_usec_t (uint64_t) even
though it works OK here on x86_64.
Add a minimal example aimed at testing the wsi hrtimer stability
consistently across platforms.
Add and disable by default hrtimer dump code (this is too expensive
and specific to internal testing to leave in for debug mode even if
it's not printed). If you hack it enabled, it will dump the sul
list for the pt and assert if the list is disordered.
Generic lws_system IPv4 DHCP client
- netif and route control via lib/plat apis
- linux plat pieces implemented
- Uses raw ip socket for UDP broadcast and rx
- security-aware
- usual stuff plus up to 4 x dns server
If it's enabled for build, it holds the system
state at DHCP until at least one registered interface
has acquired a set of IP / mask / router / DNS server
It uses PF_PACKET which is Linux-only atm. But those
areas are isolated into plat code.
TODOs
- lease timing and reacquire
- plat pieces for other than Linux
Refactor everything around ping / pong handling in ws and h2, so there
is instead a protocol-independent validity lws_sul tracking how long it
has been since the last exchange that confirms the operation of the
network connection in both directions.
Clean out periodic role callback and replace the last two role users
with discrete lws_sul for each pt.
There's no longer any reason to come out of sleep for periodic service
which has been eliminated by lws_sul.
With event libs, there is no opportunity to do it anyway since their
event loop is atomic and makes callbacks and sleeps until it is stopped.
But some users are relying on the old poll() service loop as
glue that's difficult to replace. So for now help that happen by
accepting the timeout_ms of -1 as meaning sample poll and service
what's there without any wait.
Remove LWS_LATENCY.
Add the option LWS_WITH_DETAILED_LATENCY, allowing lws to collect very detailed
information on every read and write, and allow the user code to provide
a callback to process events.
This adds the option to have lws do its own dns resolution on
the event loop, without blocking. Existing implementations get
the name resolution done by the libc, which is blocking. In
the case you are opening client connections but need to carefully
manage latency, another connection opening and doing the name
resolution becomes a big problem.
Currently it supports
- ipv4 / A records
- ipv6 / AAAA records
- ipv4-over-ipv6 ::ffff:1.2.3.4 A record promotion for ipv6
- only one server supported over UDP :53
- nameserver discovery on linux, windows, freertos
It also has some nice advantages
- lws-style paranoid response parsing
- random unique tid generation to increase difficulty of poisoning
- it's really integrated with the lws event loop, it does not spawn
threads or use the libc resolver, and of course no blocking at all
- platform-specific server address capturing (from /etc/resolv.conf
on linux, windows apis on windows)
- it has LRU caching
- piggybacking (multiple requests before the first completes go on
a list on the first request, not spawn multiple requests)
- observes TTL in cache
- TTL and timeout use lws_sul timers on the event loop
- ipv6 pieces only built if cmake LWS_IPV6 enabled
