OpenSSL now uses pthread_atfork(), and this requires -lpthread on Linux
to compile. Introduced NGX_LIBPTHREAD to add it as appropriate, similar
to existing NGX_LIBDL.
The module allows passing requests to upstream gRPC servers.
The module is built by default as long as HTTP/2 support is compiled in.
Example configuration:
grpc_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
Alternatively, the "grpc://" scheme can be used:
grpc_pass grpc://127.0.0.1:9000;
Keepalive support is available via the upstream keepalive module. Note
that keepalive connections won't currently work with grpc-go as it fails
to handle SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE.
To use with SSL:
grpc_pass grpcs://127.0.0.1:9000;
SSL connections use ALPN "h2" when available. At least grpc-go works fine
without ALPN, so if ALPN is not available we just establish a connection
without it.
Tested with grpc-c++ and grpc-go.
When clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) (or faster variants, _FAST on FreeBSD,
and _COARSE on Linux) is available, we now use it for ngx_current_msec.
This should improve handling of timers if system time changes (ticket #189).
Previously, capset(2) was called with the 64-bit capabilities version
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_3. With this version Linux kernel expected two
copies of struct __user_cap_data_struct, while only one was submitted. As a
result, random stack memory was accessed and random capabilities were requested
by the worker. This sometimes caused capset() errors. Now the 32-bit version
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_1 is used instead. This is OK since CAP_NET_RAW is
a 32-bit capability (CAP_NET_RAW = 13).
Previously included file sys/capability.h mentioned in capset(2) man page,
belongs to the libcap-dev package, which may not be installed on some Linux
systems when compiling nginx. This prevented the capabilities feature from
being detected and compiled on that systems.
Now linux/capability.h system header is included instead. Since capset()
declaration is located in sys/capability.h, now capset() syscall is defined
explicitly in code using the SYS_capset constant, similarly to other
Linux-specific features in nginx.
The capability is retained automatically in unprivileged worker processes after
changing UID if transparent proxying is enabled at least once in nginx
configuration.
The feature is only available in Linux.
In 2c7b488a61fb, IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT test was accidentally placed
between SO_BINDANY, IP_TRANSPARENT, and IP_BINDANY tests. Moved it after
these tests.
As per POSIX, basic regular expressions have no alternations, and the
interpretation of the "\|" construct is undefined. At least on MINIX
and Solaris grep interprets "\|" as literal "|", and not as an alternation
as GNU grep does. Removed such constructs introduced in f1daa0356a1d.
This fixes clang detection on MINIX.
The phase is added instead of the try_files phase. Unlike the old phase, the
new one supports registering multiple handlers. The try_files implementation is
moved to a separate ngx_http_try_files_module, which now registers a precontent
phase handler.
The http_rewrite module cannot be selected when http is disabled.
Fixed the PCRE check condition to avoid irrelevant check failure.
This is a regression from 4d874b4d82ed.

On Cygwin and NetBSD 7.0+ struct in_pktinfo has no ipi_spec_dst field, which
caused nginx compilation error. Now presence of this field is ensured by the
IP_PKTINFO feature test.
The problem was introduced by dbb0c854e308 (1.13.0).
Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 introduced GCC-compatible __sync builtins.
Unfortunately, these builtins are neither GCC-compatible (they generate
warnings when used with volatile), nor working (unexpectedly fail on
unpredictable combinations of code layout and compiler flags). As such,
the gcc builtin atomic operations configure test explicitly disabled when
compiling with Sun C.
Previously, the source IP address of a response UDP datagram could differ from
the original datagram destination address. This could happen if the server UDP
socket is bound to a wildcard address and the network interface chosen to output
the response packet has a different default address than the destination address
of the original packet. For example, if two addresses from the same network are
configured on an interface.
Now source address is set explicitly if a response is sent for a server UDP
socket bound to a wildcard address.
Some combinations of options might cause the builds with the
--with-stream option to break due to invalid value of the
STREAM_INCS make variable, e.g.
auto/configure \
--with-stream \
--with-http_perl_module=dynamic \
--without-http_memcached_module \
--without-http_empty_gif_module \
--without-http_browser_module \
--without-http_upstream_hash_module \
--without-http_upstream_ip_hash_module \
--without-http_upstream_least_conn_module \
--without-http_upstream_keepalive_module \
--without-http_upstream_zone_module \
Explicit initialization of ngx_module_libs and ngx_module_link
matches what we already do when processing mail modules, and
is also required after the next change.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 now uses normal "nmake; nmake install" instead of using
custom "ms\do_ms.bat" script and "ms\nt.mak" makefile. And Configure
now requires --prefix to be absolute, and no longer derives --openssldir
from prefix (so it's specified explicitly). Generated libraries are now
called "libcrypto.lib" and "libssl.lib" instead of "libeay32.lib"
and "ssleay32.lib". Appropriate tests added to support both old and new
variants.
Additionally, openssl/lhash.h now triggers warning C4090 ('function' :
different 'const' qualifiers), so the warning was disabled.
In Perl 5.8.6 the default was switched to use putenv() when used as
embedded library unless "PL_use_safe_putenv = 0" is explicitly used
in the code. Therefore, for modern versions of Perl it is no longer
necessary to restore previous environment when calling perl_destruct().
Dependencies of dynamic modules are added to NGX_ADDON_DEPS (and
it is now used for dynamic modules) to be in line with what happens
in case of static compilation.
To avoid duplication, MAIL_DEPS and STREAM_DEPS are no longer passed
to auto/module when these modules are compiled as dynamic ones. Mail
and stream dependencies are handled explicitly via corresponding
variables.
IPv6 now compiled-in automatically if support is found. If there is a need
to disable it for some reason, --with-cc-opt="-DNGX_HAVE_INET6=0" can be used
for this.
Previously flags passed by --with-ld-opt were not used when building perl
module, which meant hardening flags provided by package build systems were not
applied.
The ssl_preread module extracts information from the SSL Client Hello message
without terminating SSL. Currently, only $ssl_preread_server_name variable
is supported, which contains server name from the SNI extension.
This flag appeared in Linux 4.5 and is useful for avoiding thundering herd
problem.
The current Linux kernel implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters,
and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has
threads blocked on it via epoll_wait().
