It returns the method by which we decided our public IP address
(explicitly configured, resolved from explicit hostname, guessed from
interfaces, learned by gethostname).
Now we can provide more helpful log messages when a relay guesses its IP
address incorrectly (e.g. due to unexpected lines in /etc/hosts). Resolves
ticket 2267.
While we're at it, stop sending a stray "(null)" in some cases for the
server status "EXTERNAL_ADDRESS" controller event. Resolves bug 8200.
This check isn't necessary (see comment on #7801), but it took at
least two smart people a little while to see why it wasn't necessary,
so let's have it in to make the code more readable.
We need a weak RNG in a couple of places where the strong RNG is
both needless and too slow. We had been using the weak RNG from our
platform's libc implementation, but that was problematic (because
many platforms have exceptionally horrible weak RNGs -- like, ones
that only return values between 0 and SHORT_MAX) and because we were
using it in a way that was wrong for LCG-based weak RNGs. (We were
counting on the low bits of the LCG output to be as random as the
high ones, which isn't true.)
This patch adds a separate type for a weak RNG, adds an LCG
implementation for it, and uses that exclusively where we had been
using the platform weak RNG.
Right now, all our curve25519 backends ignore the high bit of the
public key. But possibly, others could treat the high bit of the
public key as encoding out-of-bounds values, or as something to be
preserved. This could be used to distinguish clients with different
backends, at the cost of killing a circuit.
As a workaround, let's just clear the high bit of each public key
indiscriminately before we use it. Fix for bug 8121, reported by
rransom. Bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
If we're deciding on a node's bandwidth based on "Bandwidth="
declarations, clip it to "20" or to the maxunmeasuredbw parameter,
if it's voted on.
This adds a new consensus method.
This is "part A" of bug 2286
Authorities don't set is_possible_guard on node_t, so they were
never deciding that they could build enough paths. This is a quick
and dirty fix.
Bug not in any released version of Tor
These seem to have gotten conflicted out of existence while mike was
working on path bias stuff.
Thanks to sysrqb for collecting these in a handy patch.
The fix is to move the two functions to format/parse base64
curve25519 public keys into a new "crypto_format.c" file. I could
have put them in crypto.c, but that's a big file worth splitting
anyway.
Fixes bug 8153; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha where I did the fix for 7869.
Now we can specify to skip bridges that wouldn't be able to answer the
type of dir fetch we're launching.
It's still the responsibility of the rest of the code to prevent us from
launching a given dir fetch if we have no bridges that could handle it.
Now as we move into a future where most bridges can handle microdescs
we will generally find ourselves using them, rather than holding back
just because one of our bridges doesn't use them.
When we first implemented TLS, we assumed in conneciton_handle_write
that a TOR_TLS_WANT_WRITE from flush_buf_tls meant that nothing had
been written. But when we moved our buffers to a ring buffer
implementation back in 0.1.0.5-rc (!), we broke that invariant: it's
possible that some bytes have been written but nothing.
That's bad. It means that if we do a sequence of TLS writes that ends
with a WANTWRITE, we don't notice that we flushed any bytes, and we
don't (I think) decrement buckets.
Fixes bug 7708; bugfix on 0.1.0.5-rc
Also, deprecate the torrc options for the scaling values. It's unlikely anyone
but developers will ever tweak them, even if we provided a single ratio value.
This is meant to avoid conflict with the built-in log() function in
math.h. It resolves ticket 7599. First reported by dhill.
This was generated with the following perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i -p
s/\blog\(LOG_(ERR|WARN|NOTICE|INFO|DEBUG)\s*,\s*/log_\L$1\(/g;
s/\blog\(/tor_log\(/g;
Instead of hardcoding the minimum fraction of possible paths to 0.6, we
take it from the user, and failing that from the consensus, and
failing that we fall back to 0.6.
Previously we did this based on the fraction of descriptors we
had. But really, we should be going based on what fraction of paths
we're able to build based on weighted bandwidth, since otherwise a
directory guard or two could make us behave quite oddly.
Implementation for feature 5956
This is allowed by the C statndard, which permits you to represent
doubles any way you like, but in practice we have some code that
assumes that memset() clears doubles in structs. Noticed as part of
7802 review; see 8081 for more info.
When we implemented #5823 and removed v2 directory request info, we
never actually changed the unit tests not to expect it.
Fixes bug 8084; bug not in any released version of Tor.
It looks like there was a compilation error for 6826 on some
platforms. Removing even more now-uncallable code to handle detecting
libevent versions before 1.3e.
Fixes bug 8012; bug not in any released Tor.
If any circuits were opened during a scaling event, we were scaling attempts
and successes by different amounts. This leads to rounding error.
The fix is to record how many circuits are in a state that hasn't been fully
counted yet, and subtract that before scaling, and add it back afterwords.
Since they use RELAY_EARLY (which can be seen by all hops on the path),
it's not safe to say they actually count as a successful use.
There are also problems with trying to allow them to finish extending due to
the circuit purpose state machine logic. It is way less complicated (and
possibly more semantically coherent) to simply wait until we actually try to
do something with them before claiming we 'used' them.
Also, we shouldn't call timed out circuits 'used' either, for semantic
consistency.
