We can always easily add groups when needed.

The approach of the code was rather hacky, simulating some packets
arriving from upstream and making the module stack CONSUME that.
Instead we take a direct approach now: use the simplified validator API
and then insert into cache directly.

One effect is improved performance, and consequently roughly halving
the lag which happens when prefill module invokes this.
(With root zone the lag goes down to 0.1 s from over 0.2 s,
 on my relatively fast CPU.  Fortunately it's just once a day.)

The following actions will now be logged in debug level (or request
tracing): ANSWER, DENY, DENY_MSG, DROP, REFUSE, TC

This can be useful for RPZ and other policy debugging.

Purposefully ommitted actions:
PASS - since it's the same as normal processing
REROUTE - the action itself comes from renumber module
STUB,FORWARD,TLS_FORWARD - this could be more confusing than useful
  (e.g. when response comes from cache)

Add a utility function for simpler lua API when setting extended errors.

Version 2.9 isn't supported anymore anyway, but 3.0.2 is needed for
extended error constants.

Answers to EDNS requests from certain lua policies that use the
answer_clear() function would lack OPT RR and thus violate the MUST
condition in RFC6891.6.1.1.

sandbox.lua:72: attempt to call global 'log_notice' (a nil value)

NSEC* params were not being stashed by this function.  For prefilling
it's useful, but doing it on *every* NSEC* record would be quite a waste,
so we introduce a parameter to select this.

Implementation: there were good reasons not to implement this until
needed - it wasn't straightforward at all.

By default, notice level is set. Thus, if users want to use log() in the
same way as pre-5.4, they'd have to increase the log level. This bumps
the log level of log() function to keep the same behavior.

It's not a perfect solution and with the future policy engine it will
hopefully be better, but it's really trivial to add this already.
(should've done that years ago)

It's special: always on and not shown in log_groups() output.

It's been quite a long fight to find how to best deal with such
a special case (from user perspective; code itself is easy).

The result gets logged as a single multi-line message,
so let's not repeat any prefix on (some of) those in-the-middle lines.

Systemd docs say:
> Those arguments must contain valid journal entries including
> the variable name, e.g. "CODE_FILE=src/foo.c", [...]

I tried that passing all three strings empty (without variable name)
wouldn't result into the line getting logged; the suggested style does.

The former "default" dumping style isn't really used anywhere in Knot.
The only visible difference is that RRSIGs are now logged *without*
replacing their TTLs by the original non-decremented TTL values.
That can avoid some confusion when reading debug logs.
(Those original TTLs are still shown a bit further on each line.)

This is all that's missing in comparison to enum knot_rr_type.
For now I didn't remove types that aren't present there (anymore),
even though noone would miss them, most likely.

I considered switching it to our usual 3-option combo,
but that way didn't really seem useful.

I didn't intend to use this mix of tabs and spaces for indentation.

- we've been using lua's formatting so far, so avoid changing that
- some lua values would be harder to format with the C style

Let's be consistent witk kr_log_name2level()
and even generally we tend to use negative numbers for errors.

Use a single call as a setter and getter for log groups.

Refactor into more consistent lua API.

Using a single function to get/set values is more consistent with our
existing lua API rather than having two separate set and get functions.

- add lua set_log_target() + docs
- default to 'stderr' (manual runs)
- switch to 'syslog' in distro-preconfig.lua
- a few minor tweaks

Vladimír Čunát authored 3 years ago and Tomas Krizek committed 3 years ago

Probably, it seems "more consistent".
Some defines still don't have it, but I left those.
