A fiber waiting on a socket registered it with its loop and took it
off again on every wait: two epoll_ctl() calls a wait, some 39 for an
exchange of the mix benchmark, about an eighth of the proxy's time. A
socket is now registered once, edge-triggered for reading and writing,
until it is closed, and the loop keeps what it was reported ready for
until an operation finds it not to be: read, write, accept, connect,
splice() from a pipe and TLS tell it so through fiberblockfunc, the
close through fiberclosefunc. A wait for what a socket is known to be
ready for is answered at once, with no system call and no switch; only
with none of them ready does the fiber wait in its loop. Readiness is
trusted once: answered again with nothing reported or found since, what
was there may have been taken without its end being found, and the
system is asked with poll(). epoll and kqueue only; with poll() each
wait still registers its sockets.
What takes readability for an end rather than reading, the control
connection of a UDP association, the client waiting for a SOCKS BIND,
the server between requests of a kept-alive HTTP connection, asks
first with sockreadable(), a peek below any TLS layer.
kqueue: the end of either side, the peer's or our own shutdown, is
readable or writable, not a hang up, which poll() reports only with
both: kept, it made a wait for the answer after our shutdown return
at once, and sockmap give up with 93.

A layer over the sockets, TLS or a plugin's, no longer waits itself.
Its _prepoll only tells what it knows without asking the system: the
fds it knows to be ready, data TLS has already decrypted, or, returning
0, that the sockets have to be polled, for events it may rewrite: a
TLS read waiting for its socket to be writable. The wait is
sockpoll()'s, which calls _prepoll first and then polls, so that a wait
can be made other than with poll() in one place: a client of an event
loop is to wait in the loop. Whatever a rewritten wait gets is given to
the caller as what it asked for, its chance to try again, and the
events it asked for are given back. With no fds sockpoll() sleeps,
which WSAPoll() would refuse.
TLS remembers what a read or a write it could not do waits for. A read
needing to write, or a write to read, was an error which ended the
connection, as when TLS 1.3 answers a key update while the socket
cannot take more; it now waits for what TLS needs, as one needing what
it was asked for always did.
Incompatible for plugins, which have to be built again with the same
version of 3proxy, the structures they share not kept compatible:
- struct sockfuncs has _prepoll(state, fds, nfds) in place of
_poll(state, fds, nfds, timeout). A plugin replacing _poll replaces
_prepoll: it must not wait, returns the number of fds it set revents
of (events then left as they are), 0 for the fds to be polled (with
events as it leaves them, revents left to the poll) or -1, and calls
the _prepoll it replaced when it has nothing to say itself.
- Waiting for sockets is sockpoll(sf, state, fds, nfds, timeout), not
so._poll() of the socket functions.

SSL_has_pending() is true when only a part of a record has been read
ahead, which is no data yet. ssl_poll() took it for data: poll()
returned at once, over and over and without its timeout, until the rest
came, so a peer sending half a record kept a thread spinning and its
connection from timing out. ssl_pending() is now true only when
decrypted data waits, or when what was read ahead makes a whole record
(an SSL_peek() of one byte, the sockets not blocking); otherwise the
socket is polled for the rest.
splice() over kernel TLS still needs to know of any byte OpenSSL holds,
a part of a record too: ssl_buffered() tells it.

- readconfig() kept its line buffer and argument array on every error
return, so each refused reload leaked them.
- A filter refusing a connection in filter_client (TLS: a failed
handshake) was not kept, so its filter_clear never ran and the state
it made was lost. makefilters() now clears it, and empties the slot
first: a pooled worker's slot may hold the previous connection's.
- ssl_filter_close() freed the client CA paths but not the server ones,
for every TLS service set up.
- Compiled patterns were never freed: an ACL's (pcre: and regex: host
names), an httpsrv rule's. copyacl() shared them between the
configuration's ACL and each service's copy; each copy now compiles
its own, and freeacl() and freehttprules() free them.
What LeakSanitizer still reports is OpenSSL's per-thread random
generator state of pooled threads, released only by OpenSSL at exit.

A service with ssl_ktls keeps its splice() mode. A connection whose TLS
sockets all got kernel TLS both ways may splice, as a plain one does when
no data filters apply; one where the kernel did not take TLS (nosplice)
copies as before.
TLS may hold data for a socket that a splice() from it would not see:
OpenSSL reads more from a kernel TLS socket than it is asked for. sockmap
asks the TLS code (splicetls) and reads that through TLS into the buffer
first, once the pipe has drained, so the order is kept, then splices on.
A read from a TLS socket counts as large at 4K, TLS handing out a record
at a time, and the short read collecting what TLS left from the last one
does not end a run of large ones. A splice() refused because a record is
not data (an alert, a key update, a ticket) falls back to reading it
through TLS instead of ending the connection.
The kernel TLS test compares the bodies with the origin's.

ssl_ktls asks OpenSSL to hand TLS to the kernel (SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS)
on the connections of the services which follow, both to clients and
to servers; ssl_noktls, the default, keeps it in 3proxy. Where the
library, the kernel and the cipher allow it, the kernel then encrypts
and decrypts, and SSL_read/SSL_write go on working over it. What a
service got is logged on its first TLS connection.
Reading ahead is left off where the kernel took receiving, which reads
a record at a time. A build whose library has no kernel TLS (wolfSSL,
OpenSSL before 3.0 or without it) warns and ignores the command.
splice() is not used for TLS services yet.
Tested on AlmaLinux 10 (OpenSSL 3.5.8, tls module): both directions
of both legs of a TLS chain in the kernel, the suite passing.

Like the timeouts, each service now keeps the values given before it
instead of reading the global ones while its connections run. setopts()
takes the service's maxseg. The TLS handshakes wait the service's
CONNECT_TO, kept in its SSL configuration, rather than the global one.

ssl_filter_open() copies ssl_client_mode into the service's
configuration, but the filters deciding when to begin TLS towards the
server read the global value instead: the last ssl_client_mode in the
configuration applied to every service, and a reload changed it for the
services still running.

Read-ahead was off, so OpenSSL read every record in two calls, its
header and then its body. It was off because ssl_poll() asks
ssl_pending(), and SSL_pending() does not count data read ahead and not
yet decrypted: poll() would wait while data waits in OpenSSL.
SSL_has_pending() does count it. With OpenSSL 1.1.0 and later, which
have it, ssl_pending() uses it and records are read ahead; with older
ones and wolfSSL nothing changes.
Decrypting TLS streams takes 9-14% less time for the same data (ARM).
