If the global detect.prefilter.default setting is not "auto", it is
wasteful to run each prefilter setup routine. This patch tracks which
of the engines have been explicitly enabled in the rules and only
runs those.
If prefilter is used on a content keyword, it acts as a simple
fast_pattern statement. This was broken because the SIG_FLAG_PREFILTER
flag bypasses MPM for a sig. This commits fixes this by not setting
the flag when it should act as fast_pattern.
Set flags by default:
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wwrite-strings
-Wcast-align
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wformat-security
-Wno-format-nonliteral
-Wmissing-format-attribute
-funsigned-char
Fix minor compiler warnings for these new flags on gcc and clang.
Introduce prefilter keyword to force a keyword to be used as prefilter.
e.g.
alert tcp any any -> any any (content:"A"; flags:R; prefilter; sid:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (content:"A"; flags:R; sid:2;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (content:"A"; dsize:1; prefilter; sid:3;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (content:"A"; dsize:1; sid:4;)
In sid 2 and 4 the content keyword is used in the MPM engine.
In sid 1 and 3 the flags and dsize keywords will be used.
