When calling an Analyzer's method to remove a child analyzer, we now
postpone the actual removal to later, as otherwise the call to Done()
might trigger further analyzer activity that can interfere with code
running after that that triggered the removal.
This should fix the SSL assertion crashes that we have seen.
This change is a bit tricky internally, but the trace-based tests
produce the same output as before so things should be fine ...
The Logger class is now in charge of reporting all errors, warnings,
informational messages, weirds, and syslogs. All other components
route their messages through the global bro_logger singleton.
The Logger class comes with these reporting methods:
void Message(const char* fmt, ...);
void Warning(const char* fmt, ...);
void Error(const char* fmt, ...);
void FatalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminate Bro.
void Weird(const char* name);
[ .. some more Weird() variants ... ]
void Syslog(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalWarning(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminates Bro.
See Logger.h for more information on these.
Generally, the reporting now works as follows:
- All non-fatal message are reported in one of two ways:
(1) At startup (i.e., before we start processing packets),
they are logged to stderr.
(2) During processing, they turn into events:
event log_message%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_warning%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_error%(msg: string, location: string%);
The script level can then handle them as desired.
If we don't have an event handler, we fall back to
reporting on stderr.
- All fatal errors are logged to stderr and Bro terminates
immediately.
- Syslog(msg) directly syslogs, but doesn't do anything else.
The three main types of messages can also be generated on the
scripting layer via new Log::* bifs:
Log::error(msg: string);
Log::warning(msg: string);
Log::message(msg: string);
These pass through the bro_logger as well and thus are handled in the
same way. Their output includes location information.
More changes:
- Removed the alarm statement and the alarm_hook event.
- Adapted lots of locations to use the bro_logger, including some
of the messages that were previously either just written to
stdout, or even funneled through the alarm mechanism.
- No distinction anymore between Error() and RunTime(). There's
now only one class of errors; the line was quite blurred already
anyway.
- util.h: all the error()/warn()/message()/run_time()/pinpoint()
functions are gone. Use the bro_logger instead now.
- Script errors are formatted a bit differently due to the
changes. What I've seen so far looks ok to me, but let me know
if there's something odd.
Notes:
- The default handlers for the new log_* events are just dummy
implementations for now since we need to integrate all this into
the new scripts anyway.
- I'm not too happy with the names of the Logger class and its
instance bro_logger. We now have a LogMgr as well, which makes
this all a bit confusing. But I didn't have a good idea for
better names so I stuck with them for now.
Perhaps we should merge Logger and LogMgr?
* origin/topic/seth/ssl-binpac:
Fixed bug due to vectors now initially indexed on 0.
Finished core support for new SSL analyzer.
SSL analyzer changes with accompanying BiF.
A table_s_of_s type to get around bifcl type limitation.
Regenerated the Mozilla CA bundle without the untrusted server authentication certs.
Complete rewrite to SSL analyzer.
Conflicts:
src/AnalyzerTags.h
src/CMakeLists.txt
Notes:
- Haven't looked at the script-level, postponed to
policy-scripts-new.
- I renamed X509Extension to X509_extension for consistency.
If 'use_conn_size_analyzer' is true, the event engine tracks number of
packets and raw IP bytes per connection. If report_conn_size_analyzer
is true, these values are included as four new columns into conn.log
I changed conn.bro so that the value of report_conn_size_analyzer
follows that of use_conn_size_analyzer. For the new conn.log, we
probably want to get rid of report_conn_size_analyzer anyway.
Removing everything related to trace rewriting.
(I wasn't too careful in ensuring that I catch everything in the
scripts; Seth is working on those anyway.)
(Merging by cherry-picking the corresponding commit, as the branch was
accidentally made off of the logging stuff).
* I haven't removed handwritten analyzer code yet although it isn't built anymore.
* The ssl.bro script is just an example and doesn't keep any state yet.
