Added a flag-guarded feature that allows gRPC to load TLS/SSL
roots from the OS trust store. This is the Linux-specific
implementation of such feature.
Somehow some Dell servers we're trying to run a gRPC client on have an empty product name in the BIOS. When gRPC tries to creadte default credentials, it checks whether it's running on GCE by strcmp()ing the contents of /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name to some magic strings. When it reads that file, it gets only a newline; in trim() it skips over the newline in both directions, and since end < start it returns nullptr. This causes a segfault in the strcmp() call. Since a machine without a product name clearly isn't GCE, change it to return false instead.
Both the Windows and Linux tests use platform-specific macros to
determine whether they should execute, but they weren't including the
file where those macros were defined, so they were always running the
else case of that check, which meant they weren't testing anything.
When initiating a connection to an IPv6 peer using an address that is
not globally scoped, there may be ambiguity regarding which zone the
destination address applies to when multiple links of the same scope
are present. The scoped address architecture and zone-id syntax are
described in rfc4007 and rfc 6874, respectively:
* https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007#section-6
* https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6874
This patch allows host name verification performed during TLS session
establishment, and on a per-call basis, to work correctly when the peer
presents a certificate with a non-global IPv6 address listed as one of
its alternate names. Whether arbitrary certificate authorities choose
issue certificates of this nature, or not, is outside the scope of gRPC.
The zone-id is separated from the address using a percent (%) character.
It is considered a system implementation detail and guidance suggests it
be stripped from any paths or addresses egressing a host because it is
irrelevant and meaningless otherwise. It would not make sense for a
server to present a certificate containing non-global IPv6 addresses
with zone-ids present nor would it work unless two hosts happened to
be using the same zone-id.
ssl_host_matches_name is prefixed with grpc_ because it has been
promoted to the global namespace for testing.
Resolves#14371
src/core. exec_ctx is now a thread_local pointer of type ExecCtx instead of
grpc_exec_ctx which is initialized whenever ExecCtx is instantiated. ExecCtx
also keeps track of the previous exec_ctx so that nesting of exec_ctx is
allowed. This means that there is only one exec_ctx being used at any
time. Also, grpc_exec_ctx_finish is called in the destructor of the
object, and the previous exec_ctx is restored to avoid breaking current
functionality. The code still explicitly calls grpc_exec_ctx_finish
because removing all such instances causes the code to break.
