The netinet/sctp.h header file defines HAVE_SCTP, so we have this
warning while building:
In file included from ../../src/iperf.h:30,
from ../../src/iperf_sctp.c:46:
./iperf_config.h:44: warning: "HAVE_SCTP" redefined
44 | #define HAVE_SCTP 1
|
In file included from ../../src/iperf_sctp.c:43:
/usr/include/netinet/sctp.h:56: note: this is the location of the previous definition
56 | #define HAVE_SCTP
|
This patch replaces our HAVE_SCTP definition with HAVE_SCTP_H to avoid
this warning.

This option simulates payload in iperf2, which is just repetitive pattern
(ASCII '0..9' repeating), as opposed to iperf3 where payload is random.
It might help in testing and reveal problems in networking gear with hardware
compression (including WiFi access points), where iperf2 and iperf3 perform
differently, just based on payload entropy.
* EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE are defined in stdlib.h, not sysexits.h
so no need to include the latter.
* No need to include pthread.h.
* Remove the no longer used delay() function.
This also removes the reliance on nanosleep().
* Remove get_tcp_windowsize() and set_tcp_windowsize() which are unused.
These days, iperf uses get/setsockopt() with SO_SNDBUF SO_RCVBUF directly.
malformed JSON string was passed on the control channel. This issue,
present in the cJSON library, was already fixed upstream, so was
addressed here in iperf3 by importing a newer version of cJSON (plus
local ESnet modifications).
Discovered and reported by Dave McDaniel, Cisco Talos.
Based on a patch by @dopheide-esnet, with input from @DaveGamble.

Change the fair-queueing socket pacing logic in response to feedback.
By default, on platforms where per-socket pacing is available, it
will be used. If not available, iperf3 will fall back to application-
level pacing.
The --no-fq-socket-pacing option can be used to forcibly disable
fair-queueing per-socket pacing. (The earlier --socket-pacing option
has been removed.)
Tested on CentOS 7, more testing on other platforms is required to
be sure it didn't break the old application-level pacing behavior.
For #325.

Checkpoint for initial work on #325 to add socket pacing.
This works only on Linux and depends on the availability of
the SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option and the fq queue discipline.
Use --socket-pacing to use SO_MAX_PACING_RATE instead of the
default iperf3 user-level rate limiting; in either case, the
--bandwidth parameter controls the desired rate.
Lightly tested with both --tcp and --udp, normal and --reverse.
Real testing requires analysis of packet timestamps between
multiple hosts.
In file iperf_util.c:
Function 'va_start' is called at line:327. But, 'va_end' is not called before returning from function 'iperf_json_printf()' at line:352 and line:355.
The va_end performs cleanup for the argp object initialized by a call to va_start. If va_end is not called before a function that calls va_start returns, the behavior is undefined.
Applied Fix: added va_end before returning from the function.
This definitely affected FreeBSD, which breaks POSIX.1 by not
setting CLOCKS_PER_SEC to 1000000 (see clock(3)). At this point
I can't tell if any other platforms were affected by this.
not including it.
To fix this required us to change config.h to iperf_config.h (to
avoid potential filename collisions with this generic name). Then
iperf.h could include this.
Adjust the existing header file inclusions to track this, and also
canonicalize their inclusion to be at the top of *.c files.
A couple more sizeof issues found and fixed. One of them is
actually another protocol change, but due to a fortuitous accident
it should remain compatible with older versions.
Detailed explanation: When a client attempts to connect to a server that
is already busy, the server is supposed to return ACCESS_DENIED as a
state value. It was doing so, but was writing it as an int, even though
state values are supposed to be signed chars. The client read the value
correctly as a signed char, getting one byte and throwing away the rest.
So why did this ever work? Because ACCESS_DENIED is the value -1, and
any byte of an int -1 equals a signed char -1. If ACCESS_DENIED had been
any other value, this would have been an opvious bug and would have long
since been fixed. As is, it stuck around working by accident until now.
