      Cluster: ability to prevent slaves from failing over their masters. · 70597a30
      antirez authored
      This commit, in some parts derived from PR #3041 which is no longer
      possible to merge (because the user deleted the original branch),
      implements the ability of slaves to have a special configuration
      preventing that they try to start a failover when the master is failing.
      
      There are multiple reasons for wanting this, and the feautre was
      requested in issue #3021 time ago.
      
      The differences between this patch and the original PR are the
      following:
      
      1. The flag is saved/loaded on the nodes configuration.
      2. The 'myself' node is now flag-aware, the flag is updated as needed
         when the configuration is changed via CONFIG SET.
      3. The flag name uses NOFAILOVER instead of NO_FAILOVER to be consistent
         with existing NOADDR.
      4. The redis.conf documentation was rewritten.
      
      Thanks to @deep011 for the original patch.

      Use SipHash hash function to mitigate HashDos attempts. · ba647598
      antirez authored
      This change attempts to switch to an hash function which mitigates
      the effects of the HashDoS attack (denial of service attack trying
      to force data structures to worst case behavior) while at the same time
      providing Redis with an hash function that does not expect the input
      data to be word aligned, a condition no longer true now that sds.c
      strings have a varialbe length header.
      
      Note that it is possible sometimes that even using an hash function
      for which collisions cannot be generated without knowing the seed,
      special implementation details or the exposure of the seed in an
      indirect way (for example the ability to add elements to a Set and
      check the return in which Redis returns them with SMEMBERS) may
      make the attacker's life simpler in the process of trying to guess
      the correct seed, however the next step would be to switch to a
      log(N) data structure when too many items in a single bucket are
      detected: this seems like an overkill in the case of Redis.
      
      SPEED REGRESION TESTS:
      
      In order to verify that switching from MurmurHash to SipHash had
      no impact on speed, a set of benchmarks involving fast insertion
      of 5 million of keys were performed.
      
      The result shows Redis with SipHash in high pipelining conditions
      to be about 4% slower compared to using the previous hash function.
      However this could partially be related to the fact that the current
      implementation does not attempt to hash whole words at a time but
      reads single bytes, in order to have an output which is endian-netural
      and at the same time working on systems where unaligned memory accesses
      are a problem.
      
      Further X86 specific optimizations should be tested, the function
      may easily get at the same level of MurMurHash2 if a few optimizations
      are performed.

      Only show Redis logo if logging to stdout / TTY. · 3334a409
      antirez authored
      You can still force the logo in the normal logs.
      For motivations, check issue #3112. For me the reason is that actually
      the logo is nice to have in interactive sessions, but inside the logs
      kinda loses its usefulness, but for the ability of users to recognize
      restarts easily: for this reason the new startup sequence shows a one
      liner ASCII "wave" so that there is still a bit of visual clue.
      
      Startup logging was modified in order to log events in more obvious
      ways, and to log more events. Also certain important informations are
      now more easy to parse/grep since they are printed in field=value style.
      
      The option --always-show-logo in redis.conf was added, defaulting to no.

      Switch PFCOUNT to LogLog-Beta algorithm. · 2e375d4f
      antirez authored
      The new algorithm provides the same speed with a smaller error for
      cardinalities in the range 0-100k. Before switching, the new and old
      algorithm behavior was studied in details in the context of
      issue #3677. You can find a few graphs and motivations there.

      Security: CONFIG SET client-output-buffer-limit overflow fixed. · 6d9f8e24
      antirez authored
      This commit fixes a vunlerability reported by Cory Duplantis
      of Cisco Talos, see TALOS-2016-0206 for reference.
      
      CONFIG SET client-output-buffer-limit accepts as client class "master"
      which is actually only used to implement CLIENT KILL. The "master" class
      has ID 3. What happens is that the global structure:
      
          server.client_obuf_limits[class]
      
      Is accessed with class = 3. However it is a 3 elements array, so writing
      the 4th element means to write up to 24 bytes of memory *after* the end
      of the array, since the structure is defined as:
      
          typedef struct clientBufferLimitsConfig {
              unsigned long long hard_limit_bytes;
              unsigned long long soft_limit_bytes;
              time_t soft_limit_seconds;
          } clientBufferLimitsConfig;
      
      EVALUATION OF IMPACT:
      
      Checking what's past the boundaries of the array in the global
      'server' structure, we find AOF state fields:
      
          clientBufferLimitsConfig client_obuf_limits[CLIENT_TYPE_OBUF_COUNT];
        ...

      Ability of slave to announce arbitrary ip/port to master. · 55385f99
      antirez authored
      This feature is useful, especially in deployments using Sentinel in
      order to setup Redis HA, where the slave is executed with NAT or port
      forwarding, so that the auto-detected port/ip addresses, as listed in
      the "INFO replication" output of the master, or as provided by the
      "ROLE" command, don't match the real addresses at which the slave is
      reachable for connections.

      fix for #3187 · 14086a46
      therealbill authored
      I've renamed maxmemoryToString to evictPolicyToString since that is
      more accurate (and easier to mentally connect with the correct data), as
      well as updated the function to user server.maxmemory_policy rather than
      server.maxmemory. Now with a default config it is actually returning
      the correct policy rather than volatile-lru.

      New security feature: Redis protected mode. · edd4d555
      antirez authored
      An exposed Redis instance on the internet can be cause of serious
      issues. Since Redis, by default, binds to all the interfaces, it is easy
      to forget an instance without any protection layer, for error.
      
      Protected mode try to address this feature in a soft way, providing a
      layer of protection, but giving clues to Redis users about why the
      server is not accepting connections.
      
      When protected mode is enabeld (the default), and if there are no
      minumum hints about the fact the server is properly configured (no
      "bind" directive is used in order to restrict the server to certain
      interfaces, nor a password is set), clients connecting from external
      intefaces are refused with an error explaining what to do in order to
      fix the issue.
      
      Clients connecting from the IPv4 and IPv6 lookback interfaces are still
      accepted normally, similarly Unix domain socket connections are not
      restricted in any way.
