Note - this compiles, but you cannot run Bro anymore - it crashes
immediately with a 0-pointer access. The reason behind it is that the
required clone functionality does not work anymore.
Added ConnectionEventFast() and QueueEventFast() methods to avoid
redundant event handler existence checks.
It's common practice for caller to already check for event handler
existence before doing all the work of constructing the arguments, so
it's desirable to not have to check for existence again.
E.g. going through ConnectionEvent() means 3 existence checks:
one you do yourself before calling it, one in ConnectionEvent(), and then
another in QueueEvent().
The existence check itself can be more than a few operations sometimes
as it needs to check a few flags that determine if it's enabled, has
a local body, or has any remote receivers in the old comm. system or
has been flagged as something to publish in the new comm. system.
Majority of PLists are now created as automatic/stack objects,
rather than on heap and initialized either with the known-capacity
reserved upfront or directly from an initializer_list (so there's no
wasted slack in the memory that gets allocated for lists containing
a fixed/known number of elements).
Added versions of the ConnectionEvent/QueueEvent methods that take
a val_list by value.
Added a move ctor/assign-operator to Plists to allow passing them
around without having to copy the underlying array of pointers.
This changes many weird names to move non-static content from the
weird name into the "addl" field to help ensure the total number of
weird names is reasonably bounded. Note the net_weird and flow_weird
events do not have an "addl" parameter, so information may no longer
be available in those cases -- to make it available again we'd need
to either (1) define new events that contain such a parameter, or
(2) change net_weird/flow_weird event signature (which is a breaking
change for user-code at the moment).
Also, the generic handling of binpac exceptions for analyzers which
to not otherwise catch and handle them has been changed from a Weird
to a ProtocolViolation.
Finally, a new "file_weird" event has been added for reporting
weirdness found during file analysis.

I reverted a change that made TCP window tracking unconditional (possibly
accepting out-of-order packets) until further verification of test suite
changes.
The generation of weird events, by default, are now rate-limited
according to these tunable options:
- Weird::sampling_whitelist
- Weird::sampling_threshold
- Weird::sampling_rate
- Weird::sampling_duration
The new get_reporter_stats() BIF also allows one to query the
total number of weirds generated (pre-sampling) which the new
policy/misc/weird-stats.bro script uses periodically to populate
a weird_stats.log.
There's also new reporter BIFs to allow generating weirds from the
script-layer such that they go through the same, internal
rate-limiting/sampling mechanisms:
- Reporter::conn_weird
- Reporter::flow_weird
- Reporter::net_weird
Some of the code was adapted from previous work by Johanna Amann.
This commit marks (hopefully) ever one-parameter constructor as explicit.
It also uses override in (hopefully) all circumstances where a virtual
method is overridden.
There are a very few other minor changes - most of them were necessary
to get everything to compile (like one additional constructor). In one
case I changed an implicit operation to an explicit string conversion -
I think the automatically chosen conversion was much more convoluted.
This took longer than I want to admit but not as long as I feared :)
The link-layer addresses are now part of the connection endpoints
following the originator-responder-pattern. The addresses are printed
with leading zeros. Additionally link-layer addresses are also extracted
for 802.11 plus RadioTap.
Broke out the stats collection into a bunch of new Bifs
in stats.bif. Scripts that use stats collection functions
have also been updated. More work to do.

- Introducing analyzer::<protocol> namespaces.
- Moving protocol-specific events out of events.bif into analyzer/protocol/<protocol>/events.bif
- Moving ARP over (even though it's not an actual analyzer).
- Moving NetFlow over (even though it's not an actual analyzer).
- Moving MIME over (even though it's not an actual analyzer).
This is a larger internal change that moves the analyzer
infrastructure to a more flexible model where the available analyzers
don't need to be hardcoded at compile time anymore. While currently
they actually still are, this will in the future enable external
analyzer plugins. For now, it does already add the capability to
dynamically enable/disable analyzers from script-land, replacing the
old Analyzer::Available() methods.
There are three major parts going into this:
- A new plugin infrastructure in src/plugin. This is independent
of analyzers and will eventually support plugins for other parts
of Bro as well (think: readers and writers). The goal is that
plugins can be alternatively compiled in statically or loadead
dynamically at runtime from a shared library. While the latter
isn't there yet, there'll be almost no code change for a plugin
to make it dynamic later (hopefully :)
- New analyzer infrastructure in src/analyzer. I've moved a number
of analyzer-related classes here, including Analyzer and DPM;
the latter now renamed to Analyzer::Manager. More will move here
later. Currently, there's only one plugin here, which provides
*all* existing analyzers. We can modularize this further in the
future (or not).
- A new script interface in base/framework/analyzer. I think that
this will eventually replace the dpm framework, but for now
that's still there as well, though some parts have moved over.
I've also remove the dpd_config table; ports are now configured via
the analyzer framework. For exmaple, for SSH:
const ports = { 22/tcp } &redef;
event bro_init() &priority=5
{
...
Analyzer::register_for_ports(Analyzer::ANALYZER_SSH, ports);
}
As you can see, the old ANALYZER_SSH constants have more into an enum
in the Analyzer namespace.
This is all hardly tested right now, and not everything works yet.
There's also a lot more cleanup to do (moving more classes around;
removing no longer used functionality; documenting script and C++
interfaces; regression tests). But it seems to generally work with a
small trace at least.
The debug stream "dpm" shows more about the loaded/enabled analyzers.
A new option -N lists loaded plugins and what they provide (including
those compiled in statically; i.e., right now it outputs all the
analyzers).
This is all not cast-in-stone yet, for some things we need to see if
they make sense this way. Feedback welcome.

Without this change, flow labeling of connections over IPv6 are
only available in the per-packet types of events (e.g. new_packet)
in which header fields can be inspected, but now minimal tracking
of the most recent flow label is done internally and that's available
per-connection for all events that use connection record arguments.
Specifically, this adds a "flow_label" field to the "endpoint" record
type, which is used for both the "orig" and "resp" fields of
"connection" records. The new "connection_flow_label_changed" event
also allows tracking of changes in flow labels: it's raised each time
one direction of the connection starts using a different label.
conn.log now sets a field indicating all the parent tunnel UIDs over
which a connection operated and cross reference the UIDs found in
the tunnel.log.
Also some renaming of tunnel related types at the scripting layer.
- AYIYA works.
- AYIYA analyzed connections are still labelled wrong in conn.log (logged as syslog)
- Some clean up for left over code.
- Small refactoring to pass packets back from analyzers to core.
- $uid is now optional in conn logs since ip-in-ip tunnel parent's
won't have an actual connection.
UDP tunnel support removed for now, to be re-added in specific
analyzers later, but IP-in-IP is now decapsulated recursively
so nested tunnels can be seen and the inner packets get sent
through the IP fragment reassembler if necessary.

Just trying to bring topic/gregor/tunnel up to date in this new branch.
Compiles, but untested.
Internally, all BROv6 preprocessor switches were removed and
addr/subnet representations wrapped in the new IPAddr/IPPrefix classes.
Some script-layer changes of note:
- dns_AAAA_reply event signature changed: the string representation
of an IPv6 addr is easily derived from the addr value, it doesn't
need to be another parameter. This event also now generated directly
by the DNS analyzer instead of being "faked" into a dns_A_reply event.
- removed addr_to_count BIF. It used to return the host-order
count representation of IPv4 addresses only. To make it more
generic, we might later add a BIF to return a vector of counts
in order to support IPv6.
- changed the result of enclosing addr variables in vertical pipes
(e.g. |my_addr|) to return the bit-width of the address type which
is 128 for IPv6 and 32 for IPv4. It used to function the same
way as addr_to_count mentioned above.
- remove bro_has_ipv6 BIF
