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).
Kore will now isolate RSA private keys to a separate process (keymgr).
Worker processes that require RSA signing for TLS connections will
communicate with this keymgr process in order to do so.
This behaviour cannot be disabled and is always turned on.
- Build with -O2 unless NOOPT is set to 1.
- Hide -g behind DEBUG instead of always building with it.
- Explicitely set the standard used to c99, use pedantic.
This commit is a flag day, your old modules will almost certainly
need to be updated in order to build properly with these changes.
Summary of changes:
- Offload HTTP bodies to disk if they are large (inspired by #100).
(disabled by default)
- The http_argument_get* macros now takes an explicit http_request parameter.
- Kore will now throw 404 errors almost immediately after an HTTP request
has come in instead of waiting until all data has arrived.
API changes:
- http_argument_get* macros now require an explicit http_request parameter.
(no more magic invokations).
- http_generic_404() is gone
- http_populate_arguments() is gone
- http_body_bytes() is gone
- http_body_text() is gone
- http_body_read() has been added
- http_populate_post() has been added
- http_populate_get() has been added
- http_file_read() has been added
- http_file_rewind() has been added
- http_file_lookup() no longer takes name, fname, data and len parameters.
- http_file_lookup() now returns a struct http_file pointer.
- http_populate_multipart_form() no longer takes an secondary parameter.
New configuration options:
- http_body_disk_offload:
Number of bytes after which Kore will offload the HTTP body to
disk instead of retaining it in memory. If 0 this feature is
disabled. (Default: 0)
- http_body_disk_path:
The path where Kore will store temporary HTTP body files.
(this directory does not get created if http_body_disk_offload is 0).
New example:
The upload example has been added, demonstrating how to deal with file
uploads from a multipart form.
This basically turns off the HTTP layer for Kore. It does not
compile in anything for HTTP.
This allows Kore to be used as a network application platform as well.
Added an example for this called nohttp.
Other changes that sneaked in while hacking on this:
* Use calloc(), kill pendantic malloc option.
* Killed off SPDY/3.1 support completely, will be superseded by http2
Note that comes with massive changes to a lot of the core API
functions provided by Kore, these might break your application.
Change the callback prototypes to:
void callback(struct kore_msg *msg, const void *data);
This allows the callbacks to receive the full kore_msg data structure
as sent over the wire (including length and id). Useful for future
additions to the kore_msg structure (such as worker origin).
Several other improvements:
* Accesslog now uses the msg framework as well.
* Websocket WEBSOCKET_BROADCAST_GLOBAL now works.
Small websocket improvement in this commit:
* Build the frame to be sent only once when broadcasting
instead of per connection we are broadcasting towards.
With this framework apps can now send messages between worker processes.
A new API function exists:
int kore_msg_register(u_int8_t id, void (*cb)(const void *, u_int32_t);
This API call allows your app to register a new message callback for a given ID.
You can then send messages on this ID to other workers using:
void kore_msg_send(u_int8_t id, void *data, u_int32_t length);
This framework will interally be used for a few things such as allowing
websocket data to broadcasted between all workers, adding unified caching
and hopefully eventually moving the access log to this as well.
Some internals have changed with this commit:
* worker_clients has been called connections.
* the parent now initializes the net, and event subsystems.
* kore_worker_websocket_broadcast() is dead.
Add new command line knob '-r', that disables runas similar to '-n',
it's implied as well for kore command runs.
Add default runas (nobody) user and chroot (/var/empty) path, if none
are specified, fallback to these.
Add configuration setting tls_version to specify if you
either want TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.0 or both.
The configuration options ssl_cipher and ssl_dhparam
have changed name to tls_cipher and tls_dhparam. There is
no fallback so you might have to update your configs.
