Jamil 805ba085c2 fix(connlib): re-add resource if ip_stack changes (#9372)
In #9300, we added logic to control whether we emit A and/or AAAA
records for a DNS resource based on the `ip_stack` property of the
`Resource` struct.

Unfortunately this didn't take updates into account when the client was
signed in, so updating a DNS resource's ip_stack failed to update the
client's local Resource copy.

To fix this, we determine if `resource_addressability_changed` which is
true if the resource's address, or ip_stack, has changed meaningfully.
If so, we remove the resource prior to evaluating the remaining logic of
the `resource_created_or_updated` handler, which in turn causes the
resource to be re-added, effectively updating its ip_stack.

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.237661392Z INFO started log
2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295243016Z INFO No token / actor_name on disk, starting in signed-out state
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295360641Z INFO null

Benchmarking on Linux

The recommended way for benchmarking any of the Rust components is Linux' perf utility. For example, to attach to a running application, do:

  1. Ensure the binary you are profiling is compiled with the release profile.
  2. sudo perf record -g --freq 10000 --pid $(pgrep <your-binary>).
  3. Run the speed test or whatever load-inducing task you want to measure.
  4. sudo perf script > profile.perf
  5. Open profiler.firefox.com and load profile.perf

Instead of attaching to a process with --pid, you can also specify the path to executable directly. That is useful if you want to capture perf data for a test or a micro-benchmark.
