Checking all of these parameter lists for every single connection every second
seems like it could be an expensive waste.
Updating globally cached versions when there is a new consensus will still
allow us to apply consensus parameter updates to all existing connections
immediately.
Accomplished via the following:
1. Use NETINFO cells to determine if both peers will agree on canonical
status. Prefer connections where they agree to those where they do not.
2. Alter channel_is_better() to prefer older orconns in the case of multiple
canonical connections, and use the orconn with more circuits on it in case
of age ties.
Also perform some hourly accounting on how many of these types of connections
there are and log it at info or notice level.
This unifies CircuitIdleTimeout and PredictedCircsRelevanceTime into a single
option, and randomizes it.
It also gives us control over the default value as well as relay-to-relay
connection lifespan through the consensus.

This defense will cause Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and other routers operating
in the default configuration to collapse netflow records that would normally
be split due to the 15 second flow idle timeout.
Collapsing these records should greatly reduce the utility of default netflow
data for correlation attacks, since all client-side records should become 30
minute chunks of total bytes sent/received, rather than creating multiple
separate records for every webpage load/ssh command interaction/XMPP chat/whatever
else happens to be inactive for more than 15 seconds.
The defense adds consensus parameters to govern the range of timeout values
for sending padding packets, as well as for keeping connections open.
The defense only sends padding when connections are otherwise inactive, and it
does not pad connections used solely for directory traffic at all. By default
it also doesn't pad inter-relay connections.
Statistics on the total padding in the last 24 hours are exported to the
extra-info descriptors.
Right now it just sets an if-modified-since header, but it's about
to get even bigger.
This patch avoids changing indentation; the next patch will be
whitespace fixes.
We need to index diffs by the digest-as-signed of their source
consensus, so that we can find them even from consensuses whose
signatures are encoded differently.
In this patch I add support for "delete through end of file" in our
ed diff handler, and generate our diffs so that they remove
everything after in the consensus after the signatures begin.
This was introduced 90562fc23a adding a code
path where we pass a NULL pointer for the HSDir fingerprint to the control
event subsystem. The HS desc failed function wasn't handling properly that
pointer for a NULL value.
Two unit tests are also added in this commit to make sure we handle properly
the case of a NULL hsdir fingerprint and a NULL content as well.

config_parse_interval() and config_parse_msec_interval() were checking
whether the variable "ok" (a pointer to an int) was null, rather than
derefencing it. Both functions are static, and all existing callers
pass a valid pointer to those static functions. The callers do check
the variables (also confusingly named "ok") whose addresses they pass
as the "ok" arguments, so even if the pointer check were corrected to
be a dereference, it would be redundant.
Fixes#22103.
This was a >630-line function, which doesn't make anybody happy. It
was also mostly composed of a bunch of if-statements that handled
different directory responses differently depending on the original
purpose of the directory connection. The logical refactoring here
is to move the body of each switch statement into a separate handler
function, and to invoke those functions from a separate switch
statement.
This commit leaves whitespace mostly untouched, for ease of review.
I'll reindent in the next commit.
Inform the control port with an HS_DESC failed event when the client is unable
to pick an HSDir. It's followed by an empty HS_DESC_CONTENT event. In order to
achieve that, some control port code had to be modified to accept a NULL HSDir
identity digest.
This commit also adds a trigger of a failed event when we are unable to
base64-decode the descriptor cookie.
