Registered OCSP responders should return VALIDATION_SKIPPED for issuer
certificates they are not responsible for. However, VALIDATION_FAILED is
currently treated the same way, so that's fine as well.
The openxpki plugin directly access the certificates table in
the OpenXPKI's MariaDB in order to retrieve the status of an
issued X.509 certificate based on its serial number.
With the previous approach we'd require at least an additional pointer
per item to store them in a list (15-18% increase in the overhead per
item). Instead we switch from handling collisions with overflow lists to
an open addressing scheme and store the actual table as variable-sized
indices pointing into an array of all inserted items in their original
order.
This can reduce the memory overhead even compared to the previous
implementation (especially for smaller tables), but because the array for
items is preallocated whenever the table is resized, it can be worse for
certain numbers of items. However, avoiding all the allocations required
by the previous design is actually a big advantage.
Depending on the usage pattern, the performance can improve quite a bit (in
particular when inserting many items). The raw lookup performance is a bit
slower as probing lengths increase with open addressing, but there are some
caching benefits due to the compact storage. So for general usage the
performance should be better. For instance, one test I did was counting the
occurrences of words in a list of 1'000'000 randomly selected words from a
dictionary of ~58'000 words (i.e. using a counter stored under each word as
key). The new implementation was ~8% faster on average while requiring
10% less memory.
Since we can't remove items from the array (would change the indices of all
items that follow it) we just mark them as removed and remove them once the
hash table is resized/rehashed (the cells in the hash table for these may
be reused). Due to this the latter may also happen if the number of stored
items does not increase e.g. after a series of remove/put operations (each
insertion requires storage in the array, no matter if items were removed).
So if the capacity is exhausted, the table is resized/rehashed (after lots
of removals the size may even be reduced) and all items marked as removed
are simply skipped.
Compared to the previous implementation the load factor/capacity is
lowered to reduce chances of collisions and to avoid primary clustering to
some degree. However, the latter in particular, but the open addressing
scheme in general, make this implementation completely unsuited for the
get_match() functionality (purposefully hashing to the same value and,
therefore, increasing the probing length and clustering). And keeping the
keys optionally sorted would complicate the code significantly. So we just
keep the existing hashlist_t implementation without adding code to maintain
the overall insertion order (we could add that feature optionally later, but
with the mentioned overhead for one or two pointers).
The maximum size is currently not changed. With the new implementation
this translates to a hard limit for the maximum number of items that can be
held in the table (=CAPACITY(MAX_SIZE)). Since this equals 715'827'882
items with the current settings, this shouldn't be a problem in practice,
the table alone would require 20 GiB in memory for that many items. The
hashlist_t implementation doesn't have that limitation due to the overflow
lists (it can store beyond it's capacity) but it itself would require over
29 GiB of memory to hold that many items.
BSD make only evaluates $< for implicit rules, so building from the
repository won't work unless GNU make is installed and used, or we
replace affected uses like this.
When missing gperf, the redirection generates an empty file, which must
be manually removed after gperf has been installed. This is difficult
to diagnose, as the produced build error is cryptic.
Use --output-file of gperf instead to avoid creating an empty file if
gperf is missing. This still requires the user to re-run ./configure
after installing gperf, though.
This allows us to use it without having to initialize libcharon, which
was required for the logging (we probably could have included debug.h
instead of daemon.h to workaround that but this seems more correct).
This allows systemd socket activation by passing URIs such as systemd://foo
to plugins such as VICI.
For example setting charon.plugins.vici.socket = systemd://vici, a
systemd socket file descriptor with the name "vici" will be picked up.
So these would be the corresponding unit options:
[Socket]
FileDescriptorName=vici
Service=strongswan.service
ListenStream=/run/charon.vici
The implementation currently is very basic and right now only the first
file descriptor for a particular identifier is picked up if there are
multiple socket units with the same FileDescriptorName.

gperf is not actually a build dependency as the generated files are
shipped in the tarball. So the type depends on the gperf version on
the host that ran gperf and created the tarball, which might not be
the same as that on the actual build host, and gperf might not even
be installed there, leaving the type undetermined.

Unfortunately, we can't just add the generated C file to the sources in
Makefile.am as the linker would remove that object file when it notices
that no symbol in it is ever referenced. So we include it in the file
that contains the library initialization, which will definitely be
referenced by the executable.
This allows building an almost stand-alone static version of e.g. charon
when building with `--enable-monolithic --enable-static --disable-shared`
(without `--disable-shared` libtool will only build a version that links
the libraries dynamically). External libraries (e.g. gmp or openssl) are
not linked statically this way, though.
The certificate_printer class allows the printing of certificate
information to a text file (usually stdout). This class is used
by the pki --print and swanctl --list-certs commands as well as
by the stroke plugin.
