Now that formatting the buffer-stats string is separate from writing
it to disk, we can also decouple the logic to extract stats from
circuits and finally write some unit tests for the history code.
The new rep_hist_format_buffer_stats() generates a buffer-stats string
that rep_hist_buffer_stats_write() writes to disk. All the state
changing (e.g., resetting the buffer-stats history and initializing
the next measurement interval) takes place in
rep_hist_buffer_stats_write(). That allows us to finally test the
buffer-stats code better.
So far, if we didn't see a single circuit, we refrained from
generating a cell-stats string and logged a warning. Nobody will
notice the warning, and people will wonder why there's no cell-stats
string in the extra-info descriptor. The better behavior is to
generate a cell-stats string with all zeros.
Right now, we append statistics to files in the stats/ directory for
half of the statistics, whereas we overwrite these files for the other
half. In particular, we append buffer, dirreq, and entry stats and
overwrite exit, connection, and bridge stats.
Appending to files was useful when we didn't include stats in extra-info
descriptors, because otherwise we'd have to copy them away to prevent
Tor from overwriting them.
But now that we include statistics in extra-info descriptors, it makes
no sense to keep the old statistics forever. We should change the
behavior to overwriting instead of appending for all statistics.
Implements #2930.
This lets us make a lot of other stuff const, allows the compiler to
generate (slightly) better code, and will make me get slightly fewer
patches from folks who stick mutable stuff into or_options_t.
const: because not every input is an output!
Original message from bug3393:
check_private_dir() to ensure that ControlSocketsGroupWritable is
safe to use. Unfortunately, check_private_dir() only checks against
the currently running user… which can be root until privileges are
dropped to the user and group configured by the User config option.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding a new effective_user
argument to check_private_dir() and updating the callers. It might
not be the best way to fix the issue, but it did in my tests.

This patch introduces a few new functions in router.c to produce a
more helpful description of a node than its nickame, and then tweaks
nearly all log messages taking a nickname as an argument to call these
functions instead.
There are a few cases where I left the old log messages alone: in
these cases, the nickname was that of an authority (whose nicknames
are useful and unique), or the message already included an identity
and/or an address. I might have missed a couple more too.
This is a fix for bug 3045.

Here I looked at the results of the automated conversion and cleaned
them up as follows:
If there was a tor_memcmp or tor_memeq that was in fact "safe"[*] I
changed it to a fast_memcmp or fast_memeq.
Otherwise if there was a tor_memcmp that could turn into a
tor_memneq or tor_memeq, I converted it.
This wants close attention.
[*] I'm erring on the side of caution here, and leaving some things
as tor_memcmp that could in my opinion use the data-dependent
fast_memcmp variant.
The last entry of the *Maxima values in the state file was inflated by a
factor of NUM_SECS_ROLLING_MEASURE (currently 10). This could lead to
a wrong maximum value propagating through the state file history.
When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
average value to each second.
This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.
Some tor relays would report lines like these in their extrainfo
documents:
dirreq-write-history 2011-03-14 16:46:44 (900 s)
This was confusing to some people who look at the stats. It would happen
whenever a relay first starts up, or when a relay has dirport disabled.
Change this so that lines without actual bw entries are omitted.
Implements ticket 2497.
- Document the structure and variables.
- Make circuits_for_buffer_stats into a static variable.
- Don't die horribly if interval_length is 0.
- Remove the unused local_circ_id field.
- Reorder the fields of circ_buffer_stats_t for cleaner alignment layout.
We've got millisecond timers now, we might as well use them.
This change won't actually make circuits get expiered with microsecond
precision, since we only call the expiry functions once per second.
Still, it should avoid the situation where we have a circuit get
expired too early because of rounding.
A couple of the expiry functions now call tor_gettimeofday: this
should be cheap since we're only doing it once per second. If it gets
to be called more often, though, we should onsider having the current
time be an argument again.
It is important to verify the uptime claim of a relay instead of just
trusting it, otherwise it becomes too easy to blackhole a specific
hidden service. rephist already has data available that we can use here.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
This should fix a bug that special ran into, where if your state file
didn't record period maxima, it would never decide that it had
successfully parsed itself unless you got lucky with your
uninitialized-variable values.
This patch also tries to improve error messags in the case where a
maximum value legitimately doesn't parse.
rransom noticed that a change of ORPort is just as bad as a change of IP
address from a client's perspective, because both mean that the relay is
not available to them while the new information hasn't propagated.
Change the bug1035 fix accordingly.
Also make sure we don't log a bridge's IP address (which might happen
when we are the bridge authority).
Right now, Tor routers don't save the maxima values from the
bw_history_t between sessions. That's no good, since we use those
values to determine bandwidth. This code adds a new BWHist.*Maximum
set of values to the state file. If they're not present, we estimate
them by taking the observed total bandwidth and dividing it by the
period length, which provides a lower bound.
This should fix bug 1863. I'm calling it a feature.
Previously, our state parsing code would fail to parse a bwhist
correctly if the Interval was anything other than the default
hardcoded 15 minutes. This change makes the parsing less incorrect,
though the resulting history array might get strange values in it if
the intervals don't match the one we're using. (That is, if stuff was
generated in 15 minute intervals, and we read it into an array that
expects 30 minute intervals, we're fine, since values can be combined
pairwise. But if we generate data at 30 minute intervals and read it
into 15 minute intervals, alternating buckets will be empty.)
Bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
The trick of looping from i=0..4 , switching on i to set up some
variables, then running some common code is much better expressed by
just calling a function 4 times with 4 sets of arguments. This should
make the code a little easier to follow and maintain here.
Our checks that we don't exceed the 50 KB size limit of extra-info
descriptors apparently failed. This patch fixes these checks and reserves
another 250 bytes for appending the signature. Fixes bug 2183.
Mainly, this comes from turning two lists that needed to be kept in
synch into a single list of structs. This should save a little RAM,
and make the code simpler.
There's no reason to keep a time_t and a struct timeval to represent
the same value: highres_created.tv_sec was the same as timestamp_created.
This should save a few bytes per circuit.
Some of these functions only work for routerinfo-based nodes, and as
such are only usable for advisory purposes. Fortunately, our uses
of them are compatible with this limitation.
A node_t is an abstraction over routerstatus_t, routerinfo_t, and
microdesc_t. It should try to present a consistent interface to all
of them. There should be a node_t for a server whenever there is
* A routerinfo_t for it in the routerlist
* A routerstatus_t in the current_consensus.
(note that a microdesc_t alone isn't enough to make a node_t exist,
since microdescriptors aren't usable on their own.)
There are three ways to get a node_t right now: looking it up by ID,
looking it up by nickname, and iterating over the whole list of
microdescriptors.
All (or nearly all) functions that are supposed to return "a router"
-- especially those used in building connections and circuits --
should return a node_t, not a routerinfo_t or a routerstatus_t.
A node_t should hold all the *mutable* flags about a node. This
patch moves the is_foo flags from routerinfo_t into node_t. The
flags in routerstatus_t remain, but they get set from the consensus
and should not change.
Some other highlights of this patch are:
* Looking up routerinfo and routerstatus by nickname is now
unified and based on the "look up a node by nickname" function.
This tries to look only at the values from current consensus,
and not get confused by the routerinfo_t->is_named flag, which
could get set for other weird reasons. This changes the
behavior of how authorities (when acting as clients) deal with
nodes that have been listed by nickname.
* I tried not to artificially increase the size of the diff here
by moving functions around. As a result, some functions that
now operate on nodes are now in the wrong file -- they should
get moved to nodelist.c once this refactoring settles down.
This moving should happen as part of a patch that moves
functions AND NOTHING ELSE.
* Some old code is now left around inside #if 0/1 blocks, and
should get removed once I've verified that I don't want it
sitting around to see how we used to do things.
There are still some unimplemented functions: these are flagged
with "UNIMPLEMENTED_NODELIST()." I'll work on filling in the
implementation here, piece by piece.
I wish this patch could have been smaller, but there did not seem to
be any piece of it that was independent from the rest. Moving flags
forces many functions that once returned routerinfo_t * to return
node_t *, which forces their friends to change, and so on.
With this patch we stop scheduling when we should write statistics using a
single timestamp in run_scheduled_events(). Instead, we remember when a
statistics interval starts separately for each statistic type in geoip.c
and rephist.c. Every time run_scheduled_events() tries to write stats to
disk, it learns when it should schedule the next such attempt.
This patch also enables all statistics to be stopped and restarted at a
later time.
This patch comes with a few refactorings, some of which were not easily
doable without the patch.
The HSAuthorityRecordStats option was used to track statistics of overall
hidden service usage on the version 0 hidden service authorities. With the
version 2 hidden service directories being deployed and version 0
descriptors being phased out, these statistics are not as useful anymore.
Goodbye, you fine piece of software; my first major code contribution to
Tor.
Some *_free functions threw asserts when passed NULL. Now all of them
accept NULL as input and perform no action when called that way.
This gains us consistence for our free functions, and allows some
code simplifications where an explicit null check is no longer necessary.
Do not segfault when writing buffer stats when we haven't observed a
single circuit to report about. This is a minor bug that would only show
up in testing environments with no traffic and with reduced stats
intervals.
- Avoid memmoving 0 bytes which might lead to compiler warnings.
- Don't require relays to be entry node AND bridge at the same to time to
record clients.
- Fix a memory leak when writing dirreq-stats.
- Don't say in the stats files that measurement intervals are twice as long
as they really are.
- Reduce minimum observation time for requests to 12 hours, or we might
never record usage.
- Clear exit stats correctly after writing them, or we accumulate old stats
over time.
- Reset interval start for buffer stats, too.
- Refactor geoip.c by moving duplicate code into rotate_request_period().
- Don't leak memory when cleaning up cell queues.
- Make sure that exit_(streams|bytes_(read|written)) are initialized in all
places accessing these arrays.
- Read only the last block from *stats files and ensure that its timestamp
is not more than 25 hours in the past and not more than 1 hour in the
future.
- Stop truncating the last character when reading *stats files.
The only thing that's left now is to avoid reading whole *stats files into
memory.
Introduce a threshold of 0.01% of bytes that must be read and written per
port in order to be included in the statistics. Otherwise we cannot include
these statistics in extra-info documents, because they are too big.
Change the labels "-written" and "-read" so that the meanings are as
intended.
when we write out our stability info, detect relays that have slipped
through the cracks. log about them and correct the problem.
if we continue to see a lot of these over time, it means there's another
spot where relays fall out of the routerlist without being marked as
unreachable.
