* add osmo_sockaddr_str_cmp()Neels Hofmeyr2019-11-211-0/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently planned user: for Distributed GSM in osmo-hlr: setting per-MSC service addresses in VTY: replace/remove existing entries. osmo_sockaddr_str_cmp() is useful to catch identical resulting IP addresses, regardless of differing strings (e.g. '0::' and '::' are equal but differ in strings).

* logging/vty: fix: do not close stderr in vty_close()Vadim Yanitskiy2019-11-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Since Icdeaea67a06da3a2f07b252e455629559ecc1829, we use stderr for printing warnings while parsing the VTY configuration files. Make sure we do not close() stderr. Otherwise stderr logging gets broken. Change-Id: I6ecc85555d102f5911d50ed5ac54933c766fa84d Fixes: Icdeaea67a06da3a2f07b252e455629559ecc1829
* logging/vty: fix vty_read_file(): do not write warnings to stdinVadim Yanitskiy2019-11-211-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | Setting vty->fd to 0 is a bad idea, which may cause the process to write() warnings to its own _stdin_ (yes, it's possible). For example, when a configuration file contains deprecated logging commands. Let's use stderr by default. Change-Id: Icdeaea67a06da3a2f07b252e455629559ecc1829
* logging/vty: fix: actually ignore deprecated logging commandsVadim Yanitskiy2019-11-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We shall not prevent programs from starting if their configuration files contain deprecated 'logging level ...' commands. Just print a warning and return CMD_SUCCESS instead of CMD_WARNING. While writing a unit test, another funny bug has been uncovered. Parsing of a deprecated command indeed triggers a deprecation warning, originated from libosmovty's log_deprecated_func(). This function simply calls vty_out(), but... Since the invocation of the vty_out() happens _before_ the VTY is initialized, the process is actually writing that warning to its own stdin! Most likely, because we use talloc_zero() to allocate a new instance of struct 'vty'. As a side effect, the evil warning magically appears in the output of 'make check', breaking the test statistics. Let's work around this bug for now by redirecting stdin to /dev/null. Change-Id: Ia934581410cd41594791d4e14ee74c16abe1009a Fixes: Ic9c1b566ec4a459f03e6319cf369691903cf9d00

* select: Make file descriptor lists per-threadHarald Welte2019-11-071-3/+17

Hence, let's make the osmo_fd_* functions configure not one global list of file descriptors, but a thread-local list of file descriptors. Change-Id: I5082ed3e500ad1a7516e1785bc57e008da2fac9a

* add osmo_sockaddr_str_is_nonzero()Neels Hofmeyr2019-11-011-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Often, an IP address of 0.0.0.0 is considered an unset value (for clients requiring a server address; not for listening on "any"). osmo_sockaddr_str_is_set() does return false when the port is 0, but there is no simple way to tell whether the IP address is actually set to a server address. Add osmo_sockaddr_str_is_nonzero() to return false if: - the port is zero, or - the IP address is zero (0.0.0.0 or ::0), or - the IP address cannot be parsed. A practical use example: osmo-msc so far accepts an RTP IP address of 0.0.0.0 as valid. I noticed when trying to trigger error handling from a ttcn3 test. osmo-msc can use this function to reject invalid addresses from MGCP messages.

* fsm: refuse state chg and events after termNeels Hofmeyr2019-10-291-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refuse state changes and event dispatch for FSM instances that are already terminating. It is assumed that refusing state changes and events after FSM termination is seen as the sane expected behavior, hence this change in behavior is merged without being configurable. There is no fallout in current Osmocom code trees. fsm_dealloc_test needs a changed expected output, since it is explicitly creating complex FSM structures that terminate. Currently no other C test in Osmocom code needs adjusting. Rationale: Where multiple FSM instances are collaborating (like in osmo-bsc or osmo-msc), a terminating FSM instance often causes events to be dispatched back to itself, or causes state changes in FSM instances that are already terminating. That is hard to avoid, since each FSM instance could be a cause of failure, and wants to notify all the others of that, which in turn often choose to terminate. Another use case: any function that dispatches events or state changes to more than one FSM instance must be sure that after the first event dispatch, the second FSM instance is in fact still allocated. Furthermore, if the second FSM instance *has* terminated from the first dispatch, this often means that no more actions should be taken. That could be done by an explicit check for fsm->proc.terminating, but a more general solution is to do this check internally in fsm.c. In practice, I need this to avoid a crash in libosmo-mgcp-client, when an on_success() event dispatch causes the MGCP endpoint FSM to deallocate. The earlier dealloc-in-main-loop patch fixed part of it, but not all. Change-Id: Ia81a0892f710db86bd977462730b69f0dcc78f8c
* add osmo_fsm_set_dealloc_ctx(), to help with use-after-freeNeels Hofmeyr2019-10-291-9/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a simpler and more general solution to the problem so far solved by osmo_fsm_term_safely(true). This extends use-after-free fixes to arbitrary functions, not only FSM instances during termination. The aim is to defer talloc_free() until back in the main loop. Rationale: I discovered an osmo-msc use-after-free crash from an invalid message, caused by this pattern: void event_action() { osmo_fsm_inst_dispatch(foo, FOO_EVENT, NULL); osmo_fsm_inst_dispatch(bar, BAR_EVENT, NULL); } Usually, FOO_EVENT takes successful action, and afterwards we also notify bar. However, in this particular case, FOO_EVENT caused failure, and the immediate error handling directly terminated and deallocated bar. In such a case, dispatching BAR_EVENT causes a use-after-free; this constituted a DoS vector just from sending messages that cause *any* failure during the first event dispatch. Instead, when this is enabled, we do not deallocate 'foo' until event_action() has returned back to the main loop. Test: duplicate fsm_dealloc_test.c using this, and print the number of items deallocated in each test loop, to ensure the feature works. We also verify that the deallocation safety works simply by fsm_dealloc_test.c not crashing. We should probably follow up by refusing event dispatch and state transitions for FSM instances that are terminating or already terminated: see I0adc13a1a998e953b6c850efa2761350dd07e03a.

* logging: Introduce mutex API to manage log_target in multi-thread envsPau Espin Pedrol2019-10-095-94/+199
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | log_enable_multithread() enables use of locks inside the implementation. Lock use is disabled by default, this way only multi-thread processes need to enable it and suffer related complexity/performance penalties. Locks are required around osmo_log_target_list and items inside it, since targets can be used, modified and deleted by different threads concurrently (for instance, user writing "logging disable" in VTY while another thread is willing to write into that target). Multithread apps and libraries aiming at being used in multithread apps should update their code to use the locks introduced here when containing code iterating over osmo_log_target_list explictly or implicitly by obtaining a log_target (eg. osmo_log_vty2tgt()).

* osmo_tdef_get(): allow passing -1 as default timeoutNeels Hofmeyr2019-08-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intention of osmo_tdef_get()'s val_if_not_present argument was to return a default timeout, or to optionally abort the program for missing timer definitions if the default timeout is < 0. This was the case in the original implementation of this API in osmo-bsc, but in the migration to libosmocore, the argument was by accident changed to an unsigned type. In consequence, the assertion in the implementation that was intended to abort the program seemed bogus to coverity, and was fixed by removal in I7a544d2d43b83135def296674f777e48fe5fd80a -- the wrong direction, as is obvious from the API doc for osmo_tdef_get(). Note that osmo-bsc master passes -1 in various places and expects the program-abort behavior that was missing from the libosmocore implementation. Change the val_if_not_present argument to a signed type, and revert removal of the assertion, so that passing -1 has the effect described in the API doc: program abort on missing timer definition. This bug was not detected because it is hard to write tests that expect a program abort to happen, hence no tests for this API feature exist.

* osmo-release.sh: Drop whitespace after = when parsing LIBVERSIONPau Espin Pedrol2019-08-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | As a result whitespace ended up in some variables and then command "expr" was not happy about it. It was spotted because src/coding/Makefile.am had some whitespacing. Since it's the only one, let's drop the whitespace there too to have similar line in all Makefile.am files. Change-Id: I33afef5e4ef9eb36de81274533f46598ba9a0edb
* Get rid of osmo_str_tolower() use inside libosmocore codePau Espin Pedrol2019-08-021-11/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | There's no real good reason for using that function (static buffer) instead of osmo_str_tolower_buf(local buffer), so let's use the later. In any case, we get rid of TLS variables in those places, which is a performance improvement. It will also allow later shrinking of those buffers if we decide to define maximum logging category and level name length. Change-Id: I2e99de1142020e4d80ef0a094e4e751f7903f5f9
* utils: share static buffer in osmo_str_to{lower,upper}()Pau Espin Pedrol2019-08-021-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | This way we get rid of extra 128 bytes in memory per thread created. It makes sense to share the buffer since it's same size and it doesn't make much sense to be using both osmo_str_tolower and osmo_strtoupper at the same time (usually you either want to move everything to uppercase or everything to lowerase). In required scenarios, one can still use the _buf versions. Change-Id: I032803faa0e27c2efdff1ff276acabab95a8319a
