Motivation:
https in xmlns URIs does not work and will let the maven release plugin fail:
```

Modifications:
Use http for xmlns
Result:
Be able to use maven release plugin
Motivation:
We had a lot of duplication in our jni code which was mostly due macros but also related to how we support shading. By using netty-jni-util we can share all the code between netty and netty-tcnative ( and possible other jni based netty projects in the future).
Modifications:
- Use netty-jni-util and re-use its macros / functions
- Remove duplicated code
- Adjust build files
Result:
Less code duplication for JNI
Motivation:
ddebc1027d missed to make Errors.throwConnectException(...) public
Modifications:
Make method public
Result:
Be able to use Errors.throwConnectException(...) from other module
Motivation:
During the last few month we did develop an io_uring based transport which shows very promising performance numbers. To give it more time to bake we will develop it outside of netty in an "incubator" module which will make it clear to users what to expect and also allow us to seperate its release cycle. While the implementation of it is very self contained there are few small adjustments that need to be made in netty itself to allow us to reuse code.
Modifications:
- AbstractChannel: Add method which can be used when a write fails and remove final from one method
- IovArray: Allow to create an IovArray from a ByteBuf instance
- FileDescriptor: Allow to reuse mark close logic via sub-class
Result:
Be able to reuse netty core classes in io_uring incubator repository
Motivation:
It's important to unload all previous registered native methods when there is a failure during loading the native lib. Failing to do so may lead to an "invalid state" and so may segfault the JVM when trying to call a native method that was previous loaded.
This was observed when two versions of netty-tcnative were on the classpath which had different requirements in terms of linking.
Something like this was reported in he hs log:
```
Instructions: (pc=0x0000000116413bf0)
0x0000000116413bd0:
[error occurred during error reporting (printing registers, top of stack, instructions near pc), id 0xb]
Register to memory mapping:
RAX=0x0000000116413bf0 is an unknown value
RBX={method} {0x000000011422e708} 'aprMajorVersion' '()I' in 'io/netty/internal/tcnative/Library'
RCX=0x000000000000000a is an unknown value
RDX=0x000000000000000a is an unknown value
```
Modifications:
- Unregister previous registered native methods on failure
- Unregister previous registered native methods on on unload of the native lib
Result:
No more segfault caused by invalid state when loading of the native lib fails in between. In this case the user will receive an error now like:
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
In some situations we could have end up calling some functions with NULL parameters which in this case could lead to undefined behavior. All of this would have happened during loading of the native lib.
Modifications:
Add NULL check as guards and return early
Result:
Fix some possible undefined behavior
Motivation:
The feature test macros did not work as expected on MacOS, so we ended up compiling for the GNU
variant which resulted in compilation errors.
Modification:
Add `__APPLE__` as another indicator to use the XSI variant of `strerror_r`.
Result:
The project now once again compiles on MacOS.
Motivation:
We previously relied on `strerror`, but this function is unfortunately not thread-safe.
Modification:
The use of `strerror` has been changed to `strerror_r`, which is thread-safe.
This function has a more complicated API, and has portability concerns that needs to be handled.
This accounts for the relatively large increase in lines of code.
Result:
Error messages from JNI are now always generated in a thread-safe way.
Motivation:
Even if the system does not support ipv6 we should try to use it if the user explicit pass an Inet6Address. This way we ensure we fail and not try to convert this to an ipv4 address internally.
This incorrect behavior was introduced by 70731bfa7e
Modifications:
If the user explicit passed an Inet6Address we force the usage of ipv6
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10402
Motivation:
`transport-native-epoll` doesn't have ARM release package.
Modification:
This PR added cross compile profile for epoll. Then we can easily build aarch64 package on X86 machine.
Result:
Fixes#8279
Motivation:
Modern versions of FreeBSD define IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR, but don't define
SOL_IP. This causes the build to fail.
Modifications:
The equivalent to SOL_IP on FreeBSD is IPPROTO_IP. Define SOL_IP as that
if SOL_IP is not defined and IPPROTO_IP is.
Result:
This allows a successful build on FreeBSD
Motivation:
On MacOS it is not really good enough to check /etc/resolv.conf to determine the nameservers to use. We should retrieve the nameservers using the same way as mDNSResponser and chromium does by doing a JNI call.
Modifications:
Add MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider and testcase
Result:
Use correct nameservers by default on MacOS.
Motivation:
We would like to enable Netty also on a big endian platform such as
s390_64. We need to fix a function which assumes that the target
platform is little endian.
Modifications:
Modify netty_unix_socket_accept() to write an address length as jbyte
instead of jsize.
Result:
Netty can be enabled on a big endian platform.

Motivation:
At the moment we not consistently (and also not correctly) free allocated native memory in all cases during loading the JNI library. This can lead to native memory leaks in the unlikely case of failure while trying to load the library.
Beside this we also not always correctly handle the case when a new java object can not be created in native code because of out of memory.
Modification:
- Copy some macros from netty-tcnative to be able to handle errors in a more easy fashion
- Correctly account for New* functions to return NULL
- Share code
Result:
More robust and clean JNI code
