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.

Instead of answering GETINFO requests about our geoip usage only after
running for 24 hours, this patch makes us answer GETINFO requests
immediately. We still round and quantize as before.
Implements bug2711.
Also, refactor the heck out of the bridge usage formatting code. No
longer should we need to do a generate-parse-and-regenerate cycle to
get the controller string, and that lets us simplify the code a lot.
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.
We already had the country code ?? indicating an unknown country, so all we
needed to do to make unknown countries excludable was to make the ?? code
discoverable.
The next series of commits begins addressing the issue that we're
currently including the complete or.h file in all of our source files.
To change that, we're splitting function definitions into new header
files (one header file per source file).
Right now it says "552 internal error" because there's no way for
getinfo_helper_*() countries to specify an error message. This
patch changes the getinfo_helper_*() interface, and makes most of the
getinfo helpers give useful error messages in response to failures.
This should prevent recurrences of bug 1699, where a missing GeoIPFile
line in the torrc made GETINFO ip-to-county/* fail in a "not obvious
how to fix" way.
We accidentally freed the internal buffer for bridge stats when we
were writing the bridge stats file or honoring a control port
request for said data. Change the interfaces for
geoip_get_bridge_stats* to prevent these problems, and remove the
offending free/add a tor_strdup.
Fixes bug 1208.
We do this in too many places throughout the code; it's time to start
clamping down.
Also, refactor Karsten's patch to use strchr-then-strndup, rather than
malloc-then-strlcpy-then-strchr-then-clear.
Fix statistics on client numbers by country as seen by bridges that were
broken in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Also switch to reporting full 24-hour intervals
instead of variable 12-to-48-hour 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.
