Move away from the parent constantly hitting the disk for every
accesslog the workers are sending.
The workers will now write their own accesslogs to shared
memory before the parent will pick those up. The parent
will flush them to disk once every second or if they grow
larger then 1MB.
This removes the heavy penalty for having access logs
turned on when you are dealing with a large volume
of requests.
This commit removes TLS 1.0 support no matter what OpenSSL
you are linking against.
Changes the value of tls_version from 1.2 to both. Meaning if
you link with OpenSSL 1.1.1 you will get 1.2 + 1.3.
This adds kore.proc to the python runtime allowing async processing
handling:
The kore.proc method takes the command to run and an optional timeout
parameter in milliseconds. If the process did not exit normally after
that amount of time a TimeoutError exception is raised.
For instance:
async def run(cmd):
proc = kore.proc(cmd, 1000)
try:
await proc.send("hello")
proc.close_stdin()
except TimeoutError:
proc.kill()
retcode = await proc.reap()
return retcode
If exists these functions are called when the worker is exiting
and when right before the parent exists.
Allows for cleanup code for applications if need to do cleanup on exit.
This means you can now do things like:
resp = await koresock.recv(1024)
await koresock.send(resp)
directly from page handlers if they are defined as async.
Adds lots more to the python goo such as fatalx(), bind_unix(),
task_create() and socket_wrap().
Now anyone can schedule events and get a callback to work as long
as the user data structure that is added for the event begins
with a kore_event data structure.
All event state is now kept in that kore_event structure and renamed
CONN_[READ|WRITE]_POSSIBLE to KORE_EVENT_[READ|WRITE].
This commit introduces the ability for the keymgr process
to reload the certificates/keys for domains when receiving
a SIGUSR1 signal.
The keymgr receives 2 new configuration options:
- keymgr_root_path
The root path where the keymgr will live.
If -n is not specified when the application starts the
keymgr process will chroot into here.
- keymgr_runas_user
The user the keymgr will drop privileges towards if
-r was not specified.
All certfile and certkey configuration options are now relative to the
keymgr_root_path configuration setting.
The keymgr process will now also load the certificate for the domain
(rather then the workers) and submit these to the worker processes so
they can be reloaded when required.
Worker processes will refuse connections until the TLS configuration
for a given domain is completed (aka: the workers receive the certificate
for that domain).
Other changes:
- client_certificates renamed to client_verify.
- the chroot configuration option is now called root.
- kore is a little more verbose if privsep options are missing.
- filemaps are now relative to the root configuration option.
A filemap is a way of telling Kore to serve files from a directory
much like a traditional webserver can do.
Kore filemaps only handles files. Kore does not generate directory
indexes or deal with non-regular files.
The way files are sent to a client differs a bit per platform and
build options:
default:
- mmap() backed file transfer due to TLS.
NOTLS=1
- sendfile() under FreeBSD, macOS and Linux.
- mmap() backed file for OpenBSD.
The opened file descriptors/mmap'd regions are cached and reused when
appropriate. If a file is no longer in use it will be closed and evicted
from the cache after 30 seconds.
New API's are available allowing developers to use these facilities via:
void net_send_fileref(struct connection *, struct kore_fileref *);
void http_response_fileref(struct http_request *, struct kore_fileref *);
Kore will attempt to match media types based on file extensions. A few
default types are built-in. Others can be added via the new "http_media_type"
configuration directive.
This function now takes any remaining arguments passed on the command line
after kore parsed its own.
For C the new prototype looks like this:
void kore_parent_configure(int argc, char **argv);
For python code, kore will pass each argument to the function so you
can do things like:
def kore_parent_configure(arg1, arg2):
doing this allows us to get rid of the validator reload
and handler reload as well as fixing websocket runtime
callbacks which were never being resolved upon module reloads.
Having the create, build, run tools baked into the kore binary
made things harder then they had to be for multiple projects with
each different build flavors.
So move away this functionality into a new "kodev" (name may change)
binary that is installed next to kore.
The new build tools will automatically pick up the correct flavors
the kore binary it points to is installed with. Or for single builds
what flavors where enabled.
The new tool also will honor looking into PREFIX for the kore binary
when doing a `kodev run`.
Additionally add a new command "info" that shows some basic info
about your project and how it will be built. For example it will
show you the flavors of the kore binary installed on the system
or the flavors you configured for a single binary build.
Obligitory, hacking on a plane comment.
This commit adds the ability to use python "await" to suspend
execution of your page handler until the query sent to postgresql
has returned a result.
This is built upon the existing asynchrous query framework Kore had.
With this you can now write stuff like:
async def page(req):
result = await req.pgsql("db", "SELECT name FROM table");
req.response(200, json.dumps(result).encode("utf-8"))
The above code will fire off a query and suspend itself so Kore can
take care of business as usual until the query is successful at which
point Kore will jump back into the handler and resume.
This does not use threading, it's purely based on Python's excellent
coroutines and generators and Kore its built-in pgsql support.
Renamed both of them:
kore_preload -> kore_parent_configure
kore_onload -> kore_worker_configure
These functions will now always be called if they are defined in any module
regardless of your application being built as a single binary or not.
- Change pools to use mmap() for allocating regions.
- Change kore_malloc() to use pools for commonly sized objects.
(split into multiple of 2 buckets, starting at 8 bytes up to 8192).
- Rename kore_mem_free() to kore_free().
The preallocated pools will hold up to 128K of elements per block size.
In case a larger object is to be allocated kore_malloc() will use
malloc() instead.
Producing single binaries can now be done with building with
"kore build". To get started edit your build.conf and add the
following directives:
single_binary = yes
kore_source = /path/to/kore
optionally you can add kore_flavor to instruct how kore should
be built:
kore_flavor = NOTLS=1
When doing this your build.conf must also include the correct
linking options as the linking is now done fully by kore build.
The binary produced will include your configuration and takes
over a few of kore its command line flags (such as -f, -n or -r).
