46  * The name-service switch
47  * -----------------------
48  *
49  * From nsswitch.conf(4):
50  *
51  *	    The operating system uses a number of "databases" of information
52  *	    about hosts, users (passwd/shadow), groups and so forth.  Data for
53  *	    these can come from a variety of "sources":  host-names and
54  *	    -addresses, for example, may be found in /etc/hosts, NIS, NIS+ or
55  *	    DNS.  One or more sources may be used for each database;  the
56  *	    sources and their lookup order are specified in the
57  *	    /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
58  *
59  * The implementation of this consists of:
60  *
61  *    -	a "frontend" for each database, which provides a programming
62  *	interface for that database [for example, the "passwd" frontend
63  *	consists of getpwnam_r(), getpwuid_r(), getpwent_r(), setpwent(),
64  *	endpwent(), and the old MT-unsafe routines getpwnam() and getpwuid()]
65  *	and is implemented by calls to...
66  *
67  *    -	the common core of the switch (called the "switch" or "policy" engine);
68  *	that determines what sources to use and when to invoke them.  This
69  *	component works in conjunction with the name service switch (nscd).
70  *	Usually nscd is the policy engine for an application lookup.
71  *
72  *    - Old style backend interfaces follow this pointer to function interface:
73  *
74  *     	A "backend" exists for useful <database, source> pairs.  Each backend
75  *	consists of whatever private data it needs and a set of functions
76  *	that the switch engine may invoke on behalf of the frontend
77  *	[e.g. the "nis" backend for "passwd" provides routines to lookup
78  *	by name and by uid, as well as set/get/end iterator routines].
79  *	The set of functions, and their expected arguments and results,
80  *	constitutes a (database-specific) interface between a frontend and
81  *	all its backends.  The switch engine knows as little as possible
82  *	about these interfaces.
83  *
84  *	(The term "backend" is used ambiguously;  it may also refer to a
85  *	particular instantiation of a backend, or to the set of all backends
86  *	for a particular source, e.g. "the nis backend").
87  *
88  * This header file defines the interface between the switch engine and the
89  * frontends and backends.  Interfaces between specific frontends and
90  * backends are defined elsewhere;  many are in <nss_dbdefs.h>.
91  * Most of these definitions are in the form of pointer to function
92  * indicies used to call specific backend APIs.
93  *
94  *
95  * Switch-engine outline
96  * ---------------------
97  *
98  * Frontends may call the following routines in the switch engine:
99  *
100  *	nss_search() does getXXXbyYYY,	e.g. getpwnam_r(), getpwuid_r()
101  *	nss_getent() does getXXXent,	e.g. getpwent_r()
102  *	nss_setent() does setXXXent,	e.g. setpwent()
103  *	nss_endent() does endXXXent,	e.g. endpwent()
104  *	nss_delete() releases resources, in the style of endpwent().
105  *
106  * A getpwnam_r() call might proceed thus (with many details omitted):
107  *
108  *	(1)  getpwnam_r	fills in (getpwnam-specific) argument/result struct,
109  *			calls nss_search(),
110  *	(2)  nss_search queries the name service cache for an existing
111  *			result via a call to _nsc_search().  if the cache
112  *			(nscd) has a definitive answer skip to step 7
113  *	(3)  nss_search	looks up configuration info, gets "passwd: files nis",
114  *	(4)  nss_search	decides to try first source ("files"),
115  *	 (a) nss_search	locates code for <"passwd", "files"> backend,
116  *	 (b) nss_search	creates instance of backend,
117  *	 (c) nss_search	calls get-by-name routine in backend,
118  *			through a function pointer interface,
119  *	 (d) backend	searches /etc/passwd, doesn't find the name,
120  *			returns "not found" status to nss_search,
121  *	(5)  nss_search	examines status and config info, decides to try
122  *			next source ("nis"),
123  *	 (a) nss_search	locates code for <"passwd", "nis"> backend,
124  *	 (b) nss_search	creates instance of backend,
125  *	 (c) nss_search	calls get-by-name routine in backend,
126  *			through a function pointer interface,
127  *	 (d) backend	searches passwd.byname, finds the desired entry,
128  *			fills in the result part of the getpwnam-specific
129  *			struct, returns "success" status to nss_search,
130  *	(6)  nss_search	examines status and config info, decides to return
131  *			to caller,
132  *	(7)  getpwnam_r	extracts result from getpwnam-specific struct,
133  *			returns to caller.
134  *
135  *
136  * Data structures
137  * ---------------
138  *
139  * Both databases and sources are represented by case-sensitive strings
140  * (the same strings that appear in the configuration file).
141  *
142  * The switch engine maintains a per-frontend data structure so that the
143  * results of steps (2), (a) and (b) can be cached.  The frontend holds a
144  * handle (nss_db_root_t) to this structure and passes it in to the
145  * nss_*() routines.
146  *
147  * The nss_setent(), nss_getent() and nss_endent() routines introduce another
148  * variety of state (the current position in the enumeration process).
149  * Within a single source, this information is maintained by private data
150  * in the backend instance -- but, in the presence of multiple sources, the
151  * switch engine must keep track of the current backend instance [e.g either
152  * <"passwd", "files"> or <"passwd", "nis"> instances].  The switch engine
153  * has a separate per-enumeration data structure for this;  again, the
154  * frontend holds a handle (nss_getent_t) and passes it in, along with the
155  * nss_db_root_t handle, to nss_setent(), nss_getent() and nss_endent().
156  *
157  *
158  * Multithreading
159  * --------------
160  *
161  * The switch engine takes care of locking;  frontends should be written to
162  * be reentrant, and a backend instance may assume that all calls to it are
163  * serialized.
164  *
165  * If multiple threads simultaneously want to use a particular backend, the
166  * switch engine creates multiple backend instances (up to some limit
167  * specified by the frontend).  Backends must of course lock any state that
168  * is shared between instances, and must serialize calls to any MT-unsafe
169  * code.
170  *
171  * The switch engine has no notion of per-thread state.
172  *
173  * Frontends can use the nss_getent_t handle to define the scope of the
174  * enumeration (set/get/endXXXent) state:  a static handle gives global state
175  * (which is what Posix has specified for the getXXXent_r routines), handles
176  * in Thread-Specific Data give per-thread state, and handles on the stack
177  * give per-invocation state.
178  */
179 
180 /*
181  * Backend instances
182  * -----------------
183  *
184  * As far as the switch engine is concerned, an instance of a backend is a
185  * struct whose first two members are:
186  *    -	A pointer to a vector of function pointers, one for each
187  *	database-specific function,
188  *    -	The length of the vector (an int), used for bounds-checking.
189  * There are four well-known function slots in the vector:
190  *	[0] is a destructor for the backend instance,
191  *	[1] is the endXXXent routine,
192  *	[2] is the setXXXent routine,
193  *	[3] is the getXXXent routine.
194  * Any other slots are database-specific getXXXbyYYY routines;  the frontend
195  * specifies a slot-number to nss_search().
196  *
197  * The functions take two arguments:
198  *    -	a pointer to the backend instance (like a C++ "this" pointer)
199  *    -	a single (void *) pointer to the database-specific argument/result
200  *	structure (the contents are opaque to the switch engine).
201  * The four well-known functions ignore the (void *) pointer.
202  *
203  * Backend routines return the following status codes to the switch engine:
204  *
205  * SUCCESS, UNAVAIL, NOTFOUND, TRYAGAIN (these are the same codes that may
206  * be specified in the config information;  see nsswitch.conf(4))
207  *
208  * The remaining conditions/errors are internally generated and if
209  * necessary are translated, as to one of the above external errors,
210  * usually NOTFOUND or UNAVAIL.
211  *
212  * NSS_NISSERVDNS_TRYAGAIN (should only be used by the NIS backend for
213  * NIS server in DNS forwarding mode to indicate DNS server non-response).
214  *
215  * The policy component may return NSS_TRYLOCAL which signifies that nscd
216  * is not going to process the request, and it should be performed locally.
217  *
218  * NSS_ERROR is a catchall for internal error conditions, errno will be set
219  * to a system <errno.h> error that can help track down the problem if
220  * it is persistent.  This error is the result of some internal error
221  * condition and should not be seen during or exposed to aan application.
222  * The error may be from the application side switch component or from the
223  * nscd side switch component.
224  *
225  * NSS_ALTRETRY and NSS_ALTRESET are internal codes used by the application
226  * side policy component and nscd to direct the policy component to
227  * communicate to a per-user nscd if/when per-user authentication is enabled.
228  *
229  * NSS_NSCD_PRIV is a catchall for internal nscd errors or status
230  * conditions.  This return code is not visible to applications.  nscd
231  * may use this as a status flag and maintain additional error or status
232  * information elsewhere in other private nscd data.  This status value
233  * is for nscd private/internal use only.

326  * -------------------
327  *
328  * The frontend must tell the switch engine:
329  *    -	the database name,
330  *    -	the compiled-in default configuration entry.
331  * It may also override default values for:
332  *    -	the database name to use when looking up the configuration
333  *	information (e.g. "shadow" uses the config entry for "passwd"),
334  *    -	a limit on the number of instances of each backend that are
335  *	simultaneously active,
336  *    - a limit on the number of instances of each backend that are
337  *	simultaneously dormant (waiting for new requests),
338  *    -	a flag that tells the switch engine to use the default configuration
339  *	entry and ignore any other config entry for this database,
340  *    -	backend-finders (see above)
341  *    - a cleanup routine that should be called when these parameters are
342  *	about to be deleted.
343  *
344  * In order to do this, the frontend includes a pointer to an initialization
345  * function (nss_db_initf_t) in every nss_*() call.  When necessary (normally
346  * just on the first invocation), the switch engine allocates a parameter
347  * structure (nss_db_params_t), fills in the default values, then calls
348  * the initialization function, which should update the parameter structure
349  * as necessary.
350  *
351  * (This might look more natural if we put nss_db_initf_t in nss_db_root_t,
352  * or abolished nss_db_initf_t and put nss_db_params_t in nss_db_root_t.
353  * It's done the way it is for shared-library efficiency, namely:
354  *	- keep the unshared data (nss_db_root_t) to a minimum,
355  *	- keep the symbol lookups and relocations to a minimum.
356  * In particular this means that non-null pointers, e.g. strings and
