In deterministic mode, RAND_MAX is not related to the result of
zeek::random_number() (formerly bro_random()), but some logic was
using RAND_MAX as indication of the possible range of values. The
new zeek::max_random() will give the correct upper-bound regardless
of whether deterministic-mode is used.
The bro_prng() implementation cannot generate 0 as a result since it
causes every subsequent number from the PRNG to also be 0, so use the
number 1 instead of 0.
The intermediate result of the PRNG used unsigned storage, preventing
the ( result < 0 ) branch from ever being evaluated. This could cause
return values to exceed the modulus as well as RAND_MAX.
One interesting effect of this is potential for the rand() BIF to
return values outside the requested maximum limit.
Another interesting effect of this is that a PacketFilter may start
randomly dropping packets even if it was not configured for
random-packet-drops.

GH-1024: fix crash on passing wrong types to Broker store API
This was a bit of a bigger merge since Zeek changed inbetween the time
of the PR and me actually merging it.
I put the new functions into the zeek::detail namespace -- since it
seems unlikely that those will be used by something external.
I also renamed them to fit better with the naming scheme of the new
error functions.
Fixes GH-1024
This commit adds script/c++ documentation and fixes a few loose ends.
It also adds tests for corner cases and massively improves error
messages.
This also actually introduces type-compatibility checking and introduces
a new attribute that lets a user override this if they really know what
they are doing. I am not quite sure if we should really let that stay in
- but it can be very convenient to have this functionality.
One test is continuing to fail - the expiry test is very flaky. This is,
I think, caused by delays of the broker store forwarding. I am unsure if
we can actually do anything about that.
Previously, a single `icmp_conn` record was built per ICMP "connection"
and re-used for all events generated from it. This may have been a
historical attempt at performance optimization, but:
* By default, Zeek does not load any scripts that handle ICMP events.
* The one script Zeek ships with that does handle ICMP events,
"detect-traceroute", is already noted as being disabled due to
potential performance problems of doing that kind of analysis.
* Re-use of the original `icmp_conn` record tends to misreport
TTL and length values since they come from original packet instead
of the current one.
* Even if we chose to still re-use `icmp_conn` records and just fill
in a new TTL and length value each packet, a user script could have
stored a reference to the record and not be expecting those values
to be changed out from underneath them.
Now, a new `icmp_info` record is created/populated in all ICMP events
and should be used instead of `icmp_conn`. It also removes the
orig_h/resp_h fields as those are redundant with what's already
available in the connection record.
Local frame offsets were being assigned based on number of the alternate
prototype's parameters, which may end up having less total parameters
than the canonical prototype, causing the local value to incorrectly
overwrite an event/hook argument value.
The location information now points out the place of the deprecated
prototype instead of the location where the ID was initially declared
(which may not itself be a deprecated prototype).
Particularly, this is meant for using &deprecated on canonical
event/hook prototype parameters to encourage users to create handlers
to another, non-deprecated prototype. i.e. for canonical prototypes,
we may not always want to put &deprecated directly on the prototype
itself since that signals deprecation of the ID entirely.

These may be redefined to customize log rotation path prefixes,
including use of a directory. File extensions are still up to
individual log writers to add themselves during the actual rotation.
These new also allow for some simplication to the default
ASCII postprocessor function: it eliminates the need for it doing an
extra/awkward rename() operation that only changes the timestamp format.
This also teaches the supervisor framework to use these new options
to rotate ascii logs into a log-queue/ directory with a specific
file name format (intended for an external archiver process to
monitor separately).
This helps prevent a node from being killed/crashing in the middle
of writing a log, restarting, and eventually clobbering that log
file that never underwent the rotation/archival process.
The old `archive-log` and `post-terminate` scripts as used by
ZeekControl previously implemented this behavior, but the new logic is
entirely in the ASCII writer. It uses ".shadow" log files stored
alongside the real log to help detect such scenarios and rotate them
correctly upon the next startup of the Zeek process.
The stdout/stderr of child processes is now redirected over a pipe back
to the supervisor process so that it can prefix the output with
the name of the emitting node.
Duplicate script `@load` directives are now detected by comparing
against canonical paths formed by realpath(). This fixes the previous,
unexpected behavior of treating scripts that hardlink to same
inode as duplicates: such links will now be loaded as distinct scripts
since their canonical path differs.
With this, the basic functionality of &backend seems to be working.
It is not yet integrated with zeekctl, one has to manually specify the
storage location for the sqlite files somewhere when using sqlite.
Usage for memory stores:
global table_to_share: table[string] of count &backend=Broker::MEMORY;
Usage for sqlite stores:
redef Broker::auto_store_db_directory = "[path]";
global table_to_share: table[string] of count &backend=Broker::SQLITE;
In both cases, the cluster should automatically sync to changes done by
any node. When using sqlite, data should also be saved to disk and
re-loaded on startup.
Currently this requires using this with a normal cluster - or sending
messages by yourself.
It, in principle, should also work with SQLITE - but that is a bit
nonsensical without being able to change the storage location.
The &backend attribute allows for a much more convenient way of
interacting with brokerstores. One does not need to create a broker
store anymore - instead all of this is done internally.
The current state of this partially works. This should work fine for
persistence - but clones are currently not yet correctly attached.
