In debug validation mode, it is required to call application layer
parsing and other functions with a lock on flow. This patch updates
the code to do so.
Improved accuracy, improved performance. Performance improvement
noticeable with http heavy traffic and ruleset.
A lot of other cosmetic changes carried out as well. Wrappers introduced
for a lot of app layer functions.
Failing dce unittests disabled. Will be reintroduced in the updated dce
engine.
Cross transaction matching taken care of. FPs emanating from these
matches have now disappeared. Double inspection of transactions taken
care of as well.
The output of the list-keyword is modified to include the url to
the keyword documentation when this is available. All documented
keywords should have their link set.
list-keyword can be used with an optional value:
no option or short: display list of keywords
csv: display a csv output on info an all keywords
all: display a human readable output of keywords info
$KWD: display the info about one keyword.
When handling error case on SCMallog, SCCalloc or SCStrdup
we are in an unlikely case. This patch adds the unlikely()
expression to indicate this to gcc.
This patch has been obtained via coccinelle. The transformation
is the following:
@istested@
identifier x;
statement S1;
identifier func =~ "(SCMalloc|SCStrdup|SCCalloc)";
@@
x = func(...)
... when != x
- if (x == NULL) S1
+ if (unlikely(x == NULL)) S1
In some cases AppLayerTransactionGetInspectId can return -1, which is
now handled by all it's callers.
Improve logic of selecting which transactions are inspected by the various
HTTP keywords.
Introduce a separate FlowAddress structure for holding the ipv4 or ipv6 address
that doesn't have the family in it like the Address structure. Instead, the
family is stored in the flow as a flag: FLOW_IPV4 and FLOW_IPV6.
Add macro's to check the family, copy the address, etc.
Update many unittests to reflect these changes. Introduce unittest helper
functions for creating and initializing a flow and freeing it again.
On 64 bit this shrinks the flow with 8 bytes.
Removal of per flow 'aldata' array. It contained a ptr for each ALPROTO. Instead now we have 2 ptrs in the flow: alparser and alstate.
Various cleanups and dead code removal from the app layer API.
Should safe 100+ bytes memory per flow on 64 bit.
Updated lots of unittests to reflect these changes.
Stateful detection for app layer detection keywords, except uricontent. Stores it's partial results in the flow structure. Other modifications:
- Generalize transaction tracking, logging and inspection.
- Adapt http and dcerpc to use the new transaction handling.
- Stream engine now always notifies app layer of a stream eof.
This commit fixes bug #124.
The stream engine memory handling needed updating as it didn't scale. Changes:
- pools can now be initialized to size 0, meaning unlimited
- stream engine uses a memcap setting. Sessions, segments and aldata is part
of this, app layer state isn't.
- memory is accounted using a global int that is spinlocked.
- a counter for sessions that have not been picked up because of memcap was
added.
- all reassembly errors are converted to debug msgs.
