Previously we were using router_get_by_id(foo) to test "do we have a
descriptor that will let us make an anonymous circuit to foo". But
that isn't right for microdescs: we should have been using node_t.
Fixes bug 3601; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Instead, use compare_tor_addr_to_node_policy everywhere.
One advantage of this is that compare_tor_addr_to_node_policy can
better distinguish 0.0.0.0 from "unknown", which caused a nasty bug
with microdesc users.
Previously, we had an issue where we'd treat an unknown address as
0, which turned into "0.0.0.0", which looked like a rejected
address. This meant in practice that as soon as we started doing
comparisons of unknown uint32 addresses to short policies, we'd get
'rejected' right away. Because of the circumstances under which
this would be called, it would only happen when we had local DNS
cached entries and we were looking to launch new circuits.
* Add some utility transport functions in circuitbuild.[ch] so that we
can use them from pt.c.
* Make the accounting system consider traffic coming from proxies.
* Make sure that we only fetch bridge descriptors when all the
transports are configured.
* Create a function that will get input from a stream, so that we can
communicate with the managed proxy.
* Hackish change to tor_spawn_background() so that we can specify an
environ for our spawn.
Rationale: right now there seems to be no way for our bootstrap
status to dip under 100% once it has reached 100%. Thus, recording
broken connections after that point is useless, and wastes memory.
If at some point in the future we allow our bootstrap level to go
backwards, then we should change this rule so that we disable
recording broken connection states _as long as_ the bootstrap status
is 100%.
- We were reporting the _bottom_ N failing states, not the top N.
- With bufferevents enabled, we logged all TLS states as being "in
bufferevent", which isn't actually informative.
- When we had nothing to report, we reported nothing too loudly.
- Also, we needed documentation.
This code lets us record the state of any outgoing OR connection
that fails before it becomes open, so we can notice if they're all
dying in the same SSL state or the same OR handshake state.
More work is still needed:
- We need documentation
- We need to actually call the code that reports the failure when
we realize that we're having a hard time connecting out or
making circuits.
- We need to periodically clear out all this data -- perhaps,
whenever we build a circuit successfully?
- We'll eventually want to expose it to controllers, perhaps.
Partial implementation of feature 3116.
