Simon Tatham	ad0c502cef	Refactor the LogContext type. ... LogContext is now the owner of the logevent() function that back ends and so forth are constantly calling. Previously, logevent was owned by the Frontend, which would store the message into its list for the GUI Event Log dialog (or print it to standard error, or whatever) and then pass it _back_ to LogContext to write to the currently open log file. Now it's the other way round: LogContext gets the message from the back end first, writes it to its log file if it feels so inclined, and communicates it back to the front end. This means that lots of parts of the back end system no longer need to have a pointer to a full-on Frontend; the only thing they needed it for was logging, so now they just have a LogContext (which many of them had to have anyway, e.g. for logging SSH packets or session traffic). LogContext itself also doesn't get a full Frontend pointer any more: it now talks back to the front end via a little vtable of its own called LogPolicy, which contains the method that passes Event Log entries through, the old askappend() function that decides whether to truncate a pre-existing log file, and an emergency function for printing an especially prominent message if the log file can't be created. One minor nice effect of this is that console and GUI apps can implement that last function subtly differently, so that Unix console apps can write it with a plain \n instead of the \r\n (harmless but inelegant) that the old centralised implementation generated. One other consequence of this is that the LogContext has to be provided to backend_init() so that it's available to backends from the instant of creation, rather than being provided via a separate API call a couple of function calls later, because backends have typically started doing things that need logging (like making network connections) before the call to backend_provide_logctx. Fortunately, there's no case in the whole code base where we don't already have logctx by the time we make a backend (so I don't actually remember why I ever delayed providing one). So that shortens the backend API by one function, which is always nice. While I'm tidying up, I've also moved the printf-style logeventf() and the handy logevent_and_free() into logging.c, instead of having copies of them scattered around other places. This has also let me remove some stub functions from a couple of outlying applications like Pageant. Finally, I've removed the pointless "_tag" at the end of LogContext's official struct name.	2018-10-10 21:50:50 +01:00
Simon Tatham	96ec2c2500	Get rid of lots of implicit pointer types. ... All the main backend structures - Ssh, Telnet, Pty, Serial etc - now describe structure types themselves rather than pointers to them. The same goes for the codebase-wide trait types Socket and Plug, and the supporting types SockAddr and Pinger. All those things that were typedefed as pointers are older types; the newer ones have the explicit * at the point of use, because that's what I now seem to be preferring. But whichever one of those is better, inconsistently using a mixture of the two styles is worse, so let's make everything consistent. A few types are still implicitly pointers, such as Bignum and some of the GSSAPI types; generally this is either because they have to be void *, or because they're typedefed differently on different platforms and aren't always pointers at all. Can't be helped. But I've got rid of the main ones, at least.	2018-10-04 19:10:23 +01:00
Simon Tatham	2ca0070f89	Move most of ssh.c out into separate source files. ... I've tried to separate out as many individually coherent changes from this work as I could into their own commits, but here's where I run out and have to commit the rest of this major refactoring as a big-bang change. Most of ssh.c is now no longer in ssh.c: all five of the main coroutines that handle layers of the SSH-1 and SSH-2 protocols now each have their own source file to live in, and a lot of the supporting functions have moved into the appropriate one of those too. The new abstraction is a vtable called 'PacketProtocolLayer', which has an input and output packet queue. Each layer's main coroutine is invoked from the method ssh_ppl_process_queue(), which is usually (though not exclusively) triggered automatically when things are pushed on the input queue. In SSH-2, the base layer is the transport protocol, and it contains a pair of subsidiary queues by which it passes some of its packets to the higher SSH-2 layers - first userauth and then connection, which are peers at the same level, with the former abdicating in favour of the latter at the appropriate moment. SSH-1 is simpler: the whole login phase of the protocol (crypto setup and authentication) is all in one module, and since SSH-1 has no repeat key exchange, that setup layer abdicates in favour of the connection phase when it's done. ssh.c itself is now about a tenth of its old size (which all by itself is cause for celebration!). Its main job is to set up all the layers, hook them up to each other and to the BPP, and to funnel data back and forth between that collection of modules and external things such as the network and the terminal. Once it's set up a collection of packet protocol layers, it communicates with them partly by calling methods of the base layer (and if that's ssh2transport then it will delegate some functionality to the corresponding methods of its higher layer), and partly by talking directly to the connection layer no matter where it is in the stack by means of the separate ConnectionLayer vtable which I introduced in commit 8001dd4cb, and to which I've now added quite a few extra methods replacing services that used to be internal function calls within ssh.c. (One effect of this is that the SSH-1 and SSH-2 channel storage is now no longer shared - there are distinct struct types ssh1_channel and ssh2_channel. That means a bit more code duplication, but on the plus side, a lot fewer confusing conditionals in the middle of half-shared functions, and less risk of a piece of SSH-1 escaping into SSH-2 or vice versa, which I remember has happened at least once in the past.) The bulk of this commit introduces the five new source files, their common header sshppl.h and some shared supporting routines in sshcommon.c, and rewrites nearly all of ssh.c itself. But it also includes a couple of other changes that I couldn't separate easily enough: Firstly, there's a new handling for socket EOF, in which ssh.c sets an 'input_eof' flag in the BPP, and that responds by checking a flag that tells it whether to report the EOF as an error or not. (This is the main reason for those new BPP_READ / BPP_WAITFOR macros - they can check the EOF flag every time the coroutine is resumed.) Secondly, the error reporting itself is changed around again. I'd expected to put some data fields in the public PacketProtocolLayer structure that it could set to report errors in the same way as the BPPs have been doing, but in the end, I decided propagating all those data fields around was a pain and that even the BPPs shouldn't have been doing it that way. So I've reverted to a system where everything calls back to functions in ssh.c itself to report any connection- ending condition. But there's a new family of those functions, categorising the possible such conditions by semantics, and each one has a different set of detailed effects (e.g. how rudely to close the network connection, what exit status should be passed back to the whole application, whether to send a disconnect message and/or display a GUI error box). I don't expect this to be immediately perfect: of course, the code has been through a big upheaval, new bugs are expected, and I haven't been able to do a full job of testing (e.g. I haven't tested every auth or kex method). But I've checked that it _basically_ works - both SSH protocols, all the different kinds of forwarding channel, more than one auth method, Windows and Linux, connection sharing - and I think it's now at the point where the easiest way to find further bugs is to let it out into the wild and see what users can spot.	2018-09-24 19:45:22 +01:00
