General changes:
* Add -D/--deterministic command line option as
convenience/alternative to -G/--load-seeds (i.e. no file needed, it just
uses zero-initialized random seeds). It also changes Broker data
stores over to using deterministic timing rather than real time.
* Add option to make Reporter abort on runtime scripting errors
This change tracks all TableVals created at parse-time whose index
depends on a given RecordType. Should that RecordType be redef'd, those
TableVals are immediately rebuilt such that they are valid to
subsequently use in either parse-time initializations or eventually in
any arbitrary run-time expression.
The Zeek code base has very inconsistent #includes. Many sources
included a few headers, and those headers included other headers, and
in the end, nearly everything is included everywhere, so missing
#includes were never noticed. Another side effect was a lot of header
bloat which slows down the build.
First step to fix it: in each source file, its own header should be
included first to verify that each header's includes are correct, and
none is missing.
After adding the missing #includes, I replaced lots of #includes
inside headers with class forward declarations. In most headers,
object pointers are never referenced, so declaring the function
prototypes with forward-declared classes is just fine.
This patch speeds up the build by 19%, because each compilation unit
gets smaller. Here are the "time" numbers for a fresh build (with a
warm page cache but without ccache):

- All timers are now handled by a single global timer manager, which simplifies how they handled by the IOSource manager.
- This change flows down a number of changes to other parts of the code. The timer manager tag field is removed, which means that matching connections to a timer manager is also removed. This removes the ability to tag a connection as internal or external, since that's how the connections where differentiated. This in turn removes the `current_conns_extern` field from the `ConnStats` record type in the script layer.
- Adds new trigger namespace
- Adds trigger::Manager class as a new IOSource for keeping track of triggers and integrating them into the loop. Previously the loop relied on the event manager Drain() method to process all triggers on every loop, but now that the loop actively waits for events to occur, triggers would not fire when they needed to. Adding them as part of the loop ensures they're checked.
- This allows the loop to check what the next timeout is and use that as the basis for the timeout of the poll
- This commit also removes the TimerMgr::Tag type, since it causes a name clash with other code in IOSource
- Removes entire FindSoonest method that includes all of the calls to select() for checking for ready sources
- Removes FD_Set checking against IOSources
- Adds system for registering and unregistering file descriptors from IOSources. This allows individual sources to mark themselves as ready to be checked by the loop as they become available.
- Adds entirely new loop architecture based on checking the IOSources for when their next timeout is, and then waiting for either that timeout or when the next source is ready. This also implements the polling based on what the OS supports, instead of just calling select() on all platforms. Currently it supports kqueue, epoll, and plain poll.
- Adds system for pinging the loop to force it to wake up
During merge I split the test for bro_init/bro_done/bro_script_loaded
event errors into individual tests since the other testing of the zeek
versions of those events seemed fine to otherwise keep.
* origin/topic/robin/631-deprecation-v2:
Update NEWS for naming changes.
Small cleanup and updating submodules.
Remove test for legacy plugin.
Remove legancy symlinks in aux/.
Add warnings when loading scripts ending in ".bro", or using legacy environment variables.
Fix missing rename.
No longer symlink local.zeek to local.bro.
Update notice user agent.
Remove old_comm_usage_is_ok.
Remove bro-config.h.in and bro-path-dev.in.
Change Bro wrapper script to now abort when old executable names are still used.
Remove APIs that were explicitly deprecated to be removed in 3.1.
They're now converting to absolute paths in the argument parsing phase
such that if a supervised node switches working directory, it can still
load the referenced script.
Comparing parent process ID to 1 to detect loss of parent process was
not necessarily portable, so now it stores parent PID pre-fork and then
monitors for any change.
Mainly making stem process debug messages sent up to parent supervisor
process and included in its debug.log though option to print to stderr
remains in form of environment variable in case debugging breaking
change to the IPC mechanism itself.
