2016-02-12avoid race conditions in OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#setup
By explicitly calling OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#setup before accepting connections. We cannot rely on "setup" being called implicitly because any callbacks configured or objects configured by the client may not be thread-safe. We also avoid calling "setup" in the master process (if yahns is configured to use worker processeses) in case the setup code starts any TCP connections (e.g. to memcached for session caching).
2016-02-12properly emulate sendfile for OpenSSL sockets
We cannot use the sendfile(2) syscall when serving static files to TLS clients without breaking them. We currently rely on OpenSSL to encrypt the data before it hits the socket, so it must be read into userspace buffers before being written to the socket.
2016-02-12acceptor: all subclasses of TCPServer use TCP_INFO
This will allow Yahns::OpenSSLServer instances to take advantage of TCP_INFO under Linux, saving us the overhead of method invocations.
2016-02-02build: install-gem forced to "--local" domain
This avoids needless network traffic when installing the locally-built gem.
2016-01-28gemspec: make rack a development dependency
We don't depend on rack directly, and unicorn 5.1 will make rack optional. This seems reasonable for testing, but one day I could imagine this being more than an HTTP or Rack server...
2016-01-04use String#clear for short-lived buffers we create
This should reduce memory pressure slightly as we can have finer-grained control of memory usage for buffers which can be several kilobytes large. It is not safe to do this for output buffers we get from the application, as they may reuse that memory themselves.
2016-01-04avoid StringIO#binmode for the next few years
Apparently, StringIO#binmode has been totally broken in 1.9+ and I've always hidden this bug with the combination of an explicit string and magic "encoding: binary" comments :x ref: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11945
2016-01-03extras/exec_cgi: fix frozen string error on slow responses
Oops, we need to duplicate our buffer in case the CGI executable returns just the header :x
2016-01-02copyright updates for 2016
Using the 'update-copyright' script from gnulib[1]: git ls-files | UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER='all contributors' \ UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 \ xargs /path/to/gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright We're also switching to 'GPL-3.0+' as recommended by SPDX to be consistent with our gemspec and other metadata (as opposed to the longer but equivalent "GPLv3 or later"). [1] git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
2016-01-02enable frozen_string_literal for Ruby 2.3+
There are likely yet-to-be-discovered bugs in here. Also, keeping explicit #freeze calls for 2.2 users, since most users have not migrated to 2.3, yet.
2015-12-15nodoc internals
We do not expose any sort of API beyond what's in the config file manpage to our users. Do not mislead them into thinking we currently have a stable API (though I'm considering one). This avoids wasting disk space and installation time for users who do not have a: "gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc" line in their ~/.gemrc
2015-12-13add .gitattributes for Ruby method detection
The "diff" function detection for C does not map well to Ruby files, take advantage of gitattributes(5) to improve method name detection in generated patches as well as making "git diff -W" output more useful.
2015-12-13README: updates for kqueue
It's been there long enough and kqueue itself hasn't changed. In fact, IIRC the entire design of yahns (for another server in late 2011) probably came about because of the name "kqueue"...
2015-12-13yahns 1.11.0 - more minor updates v1.11.0
There's some minor test case fixes and documentation updates. For OpenSSL users running the Ruby 2.3.0 preview releases, we now use `exception: false' for for accept_nonblock to reduce exceptions. Non-SSL I/O still uses kgio for now. 6 changes since 1.10.0: wbuf: fix typo in bug check for sendfile gem test_wbuf: deal with proper zero-copy for Unix sockets README: clarify and update copyright year doc: document and reference sd_listen_fds(3) behavior test_server: fix race condition in hooks test openssl_client: use `exception: false' for accept_nonblock
2015-12-13openssl_client: use `exception: false' for accept_nonblock
Ruby 2.3 will support this feature to reduce allocations for common errors.
2015-12-13test_server: fix race condition in hooks test
We need to ensure the master process is done writing to logs when we check them. Do that by sending a SIGQUIT to the master to shut it down, as the master process will defer the SIGQUIT until after the test log is written to the kernel.
2015-12-04doc: document and reference sd_listen_fds(3) behavior
Users tend to skip reading release notes, ensure the manpage documents this feature.
2015-12-04README: clarify and update copyright year
This is no place to advertise weirdo projects.
2015-12-01test_wbuf: deal with proper zero-copy for Unix sockets
Linux 4.2 gained the ability to do true zero-copy sendfile support for Unix sockets; so buffer space is accounted differently. Previously Linux only avoided copies in userspace when doing sendfile for Unix sockets, not internally within the kernel. This kernel change has no bearing on normal code which would need to account for concurrent draining by the client; only test code designed to create a failure condition.
2015-12-01wbuf: fix typo in bug check for sendfile gem
This typo would've only be triggered if the sendfile gem itself turns out to be buggy and returns an undocumented return code.
2015-11-01yahns 1.10.0 - minor updates v1.10.0
* test_client_expire: favor Process.spawn over fork+exec * extras/try_gzip_static: require readability on HEAD requests * proxy_pass: quiet down ECONNRESET and EPIPE, too * copyright updates * update various comments * proxy_http_response: use frozen string literal optimization * README: add link to NNTP archive endpoint * use olddoc 1.1.0 for generating NEWS + NEWS.atom.xml * gemspec fixes for various RubyGems versions * bytecode golfing to cut a few bytes of memory * simplify sd_listen_fds emulation * gemspec: allow compatibility with unicorn 5
2015-11-01gemspec: allow compatibility with unicorn 5
We've been compatible for a while, actually, and probably could've done this earlier. We won't be dropping unicorn 4.x compatibility for a bit in case some folks need to stick to unicorn 4.x for any reason.
2015-10-28simplify sd_listen_fds emulation
Remove unnecessary anonymous procs and conditionals to save some bytecode memory Also, no valid PID can be zero, as kill(2) treats zero specially.
2015-10-28bytecode golfing to cut a few bytes of memory
Reduce unnecessary arguments to "exit" and "exit!". Additionally, rely on a "putnil" instruction rather than a "putstring" argument with an unnecessary string operand for an uncommon code path.
2015-10-28gemspec fixes for various RubyGems versions
Version may not be frozen in some RubyGems versions, so we must dup it. Use a SPDX-compatible license string for GPL-3.0+, too (RubyGems still complains, for now)
2015-10-15use olddoc 1.1.0 for generating NEWS + NEWS.atom.xml
This removes the build-time dependency on Nokogiri, which can be time-consuming to install. We won't be supporting any public APIs, so we will not actually support RDoc here.
2015-10-14README: add link to NNTP archive endpoint
The service seems stable and reliable enough to advertise in our README.
2015-10-13proxy_http_response: use frozen string literal optimization
This can reduce the amount of garbage we have by a small amount. Once Ruby 2.3 comes out, we can rely on the "frozen_string_literal: true" directive
2015-10-13update various comments
Clarify APP_CONFIG is only public for modules maintained within yahns, not external users. While we're at it, avoid the http:// -> https:// redirect for bugs.ruby-lang.org in the comment.
2015-10-13copyright updates
Future updates may use the update-copyright script in gnulib: git ls-files | UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER='all contributors' \ UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 \ xargs /path/to/gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
2015-10-03proxy_pass: quiet down ECONNRESET and EPIPE, too
Clients may disconnect on us while we're writing the response here, so we should shut the backtrace up to avoid polluting logs.
2015-08-14extras/try_gzip_static: require readability on HEAD requests
Files may exist and be stat-able, but not readable. Return a 403 response for non-readable files.
2015-07-21test_client_expire: favor Process.spawn over fork+exec
Process.spawn is faster under Linux since it may use vfork to avoid marking pages copy-on-write.
2015-07-21yahns 1.9.0 - minor updates v1.9.0
This release improves socket inheritance support. TCP socket options are now applied to inherited sockets. We also emulate the sd_listen_fds function to allow inheriting sockets from systemd. HTTP status strings are now generated dynamically, allowing applications to modify Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES to apply changes in the Rack response. Unfortunately, this leads to minor (likely unnoticeable) performance regressions. However, our code is not optimized for Ruby 2.2+, so users on the latest released Ruby will benefit from reduced inline cache and constant lookups as we reduced our constant footprint. Expect further minor performance regressions if you are running Ruby 2.2 and earlier. For Ruby 2.2 users, overall performance should be largely unchanged from 1.7.0 to 1.8.0 shortlog of changes since 1.7.0: * use opt_str_freeze for Hash#delete * test/helper: warn atomically * generate response status strings dynamically * reduce constants and optimize for Ruby 2.2+ * http_response: reduce bytecode size * apply TCP socket options on inherited sockets * test/test_rack_hijack.rb: try to increase test reliability * emulate sd_listen_fds for systemd support * test/test_rack_hijack: ensure proper ordering of log messages
2015-07-21use opt_str_freeze for Hash#delete
Unfortunately we cannot rely on the RubyVM for optimizing hash deletions, yet, so manually freeze for this string since it (unlike every line after it) is a hot path if handling request bodies. Update a comment while we're at it.
2015-07-17test/test_rack_hijack: ensure proper ordering of log messages
Getting the logs to show up in order is tricky in a multithreaded server...
2015-07-15emulate sd_listen_fds for systemd support
systemd socket emulation shares FDs across execve, just like the built-in SIGUSR2 upgrade process in unicorn. Thus it is easy to support inheriting sockets from systemd.
2015-07-15test/test_rack_hijack.rb: try to increase test reliability
We need to wait for the hijacked process to run and write to the log before we check it. Since we may not have inotify, try to trigger a sched_yield() syscall instead.
2015-07-03apply TCP socket options on inherited sockets
TCP socket options are now set when inheriting existing sockets from a parent process. I'm fairly certain all the TCP setsockopt knobs we use are idempotent and harmless to change. If anything, the only directive I'd be uncomfortable changing is shortening the listen(2) (aka :backlog) size, but we've always changed that anyways since it also applies to UNIX sockets. Note: removing a configuration knob in a yahns config file can not reset the value to the OS-provided default setting. Inherited sockets must use a new setting to override existing ones. (or the socket needs to be closed and re-created in the process launcher before yahns inherits it). Based on unicorn commit 1db9a8243d42cc86d5ca4901bceb305061d0d212 Noticed-by: Christos Trochalakis <yatiohi@ideopolis.gr> <20150626114129.GA25883@luke.ws.skroutz.gr>
2015-06-30http_response: reduce bytecode size
This saves around 200 bytes on x86-64 and potentially improves CPU cache performance. This does not reduce inline method cache overhead as String#<< already has optimized dispatch support (opt_ltlt in insns.def in Ruby 1.9+)
2015-06-30reduce constants and optimize for Ruby 2.2+
Ruby (MRI) 2.1 optimizes allocations away on String#freeze with literal strings. Furthermore, Ruby 2.2 optimizes away literal string allocations when they are used as arguments to Hash#[] and Hash#[]= Thus we can avoid expensive constant lookups and cache overhead by taking advantage of advancements in Ruby. Since Ruby 2.2 has been out for 7 months, now; it ought to be safe to introduce minor performance regressions for folks using older Rubies (1.9.3+ remains supported) to benefit folks on the latest Ruby.
2015-06-30generate response status strings dynamically
Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES may be altered by the underlying application, allow changes to that to be reflected in our responses and do not rely on the Unicorn::HttpResponse::CODES hash which will probably go away soon.
2015-06-15test/helper: warn atomically
We want to avoid race conditions if tests become multithreaded from Kernel#warn internally issuing a second write.
2015-06-11yahns 1.8.0 - minor updates v1.8.0
Most notably, the Rack response body is now closed during rack.hijack. Middlewares such as Rack::Lock (used by Rails) break badly unless the response body is closed on hijack, so we will close it to follow the lead of other popular Rack servers. While it's unclear if there's anybody using rack.hijack besides yahns/proxy_pass we'll try to emulate the behavior of other servers as much as possible. ref: https://github.com/ngauthier/tubesock/issues/10 We'll also support SIGWINCH if not daemonized This has no effect for the (default) single process case with no master/worker relationship as that does not support SIGWINCH. Some process managers such as foreman and daemontools rely on yahnsnot daemonizing, but we still want to be able to process SIGWINCH in that case. stdout and stderr may be redirected to a pipe (for cronolog or similar process), so those are less likely to be attached to a TTY than stdin. This also allows users to process SIGWINCH when running inside a regular terminal if they redirect stdin to /dev/null. This follows unicorn commit a6077391bb62d0b13016084b0eea36b987afe8f0 Thanks to Dan Moore for suggesting it on the unicorn list. A few more minor changes, more memory reduction changes coming... * proxy_pass: no point in closing StringIO * proxy_pass: allow filtering or overriding response headers * support SIGWINCH even if not daemonized * use Unicorn::HttpParser#response_start_sent accessor * reduce inline constant cache overheads * proxy_pass: skip tests if kcar is missing * ensure body is closed during hijack
2015-06-10ensure body is closed during hijack
Middlewares such as Rack::Lock (used by Rails) break badly unless the response body is closed on hijack, so we will close it to follow the lead of other popular Rack servers. While it's unclear if there's anybody using rack.hijack besides yahns/proxy_pass we'll try to emulate the behavior of other servers as much as possible. ref: https://github.com/ngauthier/tubesock/issues/10 While we're at it, use DieIfUsed correctly in test_ssl.rb :x
2015-06-10proxy_pass: skip tests if kcar is missing
We don't require kcar to be installed since most users will never use the proxy_pass feature, but show an informative error in case they want to test this functionality.
2015-06-05reduce inline constant cache overheads
We can use symbols in the SleepyPenguin APIs to trade speed for space in uncommon code paths.
2015-06-05use Unicorn::HttpParser#response_start_sent accessor
We don't need to waste a valuable ivar slot on each socket when we know unicorn already maintains this flag for us.
2015-06-05support SIGWINCH even if not daemonized
This has no effect for the (default) single process case with no master/worker relationship as that does not support SIGWINCH. Some process managers such as foreman and daemontools rely on yahnsnot daemonizing, but we still want to be able to process SIGWINCH in that case. stdout and stderr may be redirected to a pipe (for cronolog or similar process), so those are less likely to be attached to a TTY than stdin. This also allows users to process SIGWINCH when running inside a regular terminal if they redirect stdin to /dev/null. This follows unicorn commit a6077391bb62d0b13016084b0eea36b987afe8f0 Thanks to Dan Moore for suggesting it on the unicorn list.
2015-05-18proxy_pass: allow filtering or overriding response headers
We shouldn't blindly pass the "Server" tag through, since we may be proxying Apache instances and we don't want to misadvertise, either. IMHO, it is best to say nothing at all to save bandwidth and reduce the potential for attackers in case a vulnerability is discovered in yahns.
