This fixes bug 10402, where the rdrand engine would use the rdrand
instruction, not as an additional entropy source, but as a replacement
for the entire userspace PRNG. That's obviously stupid: even if you
don't think that RDRAND is a likely security risk, the right response
to an alleged new alleged entropy source is never to throw away all
previously used entropy sources.
Thanks to coderman and rl1987 for diagnosing and tracking this down.
This flag prevents the creation of a console window popup on Windows. We
need it for pluggable transport executables--otherwise you get blank
console windows when you launch the 3.x browser bundle with transports
enabled.

The browser bundles that used Vidalia used to set this flag when
launching tor itself; it was apparently inherited by the pluggable
transports launched by tor. In the 3.x bundles, tor is launched by some
JavaScript code, which doesn't have the ability to set CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
tor itself is now being compiled with the -mwindows option, so that it
is a GUI application, not a console application, and doesn't show a
console window in any case. This workaround doesn't work for pluggable
transports, because they need to be able to write control messages to
stdout.

The previous commit from piet would have backed out some of proposal
198 and made servers built without the V2 handshake not use the
unrestricted cipher list from prop198.
Bug not in any released Tor.
We had accidentially grown two fake ones: one for backtrace.c, and one
for sandbox.c. Let's do this properly instead.
Now, when we configure logs, we keep track of fds that should get told
about bad stuff happening from signal handlers. There's another entry
point for these that avoids using non-signal-handler-safe functions.
On platforms with the backtrace/backtrace_symbols_fd interface, Tor
can now dump stack traces on assertion failure. By default, I log
them to DataDir/stack_dump and to stderr.
Conflicts:
src/or/or.h
src/or/relay.c
Conflicts were simple to resolve. More fixes were needed for
compilation, including: reinstating the tv_to_msec function, and renaming
*_conn_cells to *_chan_cells.
According to the manpage, bridges use P256 for conformity and relays
use P224 for speed. But skruffy points out that we've gotten it
backwards in the code.
In this patch, we make the default P256 for everybody.
Fixes bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
This is probably not an exploitable bug, since you would need to have
errno be a large negative value in the unix pluggable-transport launcher
case. Still, best avoided.
Fixes bug 9928; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
To fix#6033, we disabled TLS 1.1 and 1.2. Eventually, OpenSSL fixed
the bug behind #6033.
I've considered alternate implementations that do more testing to see
if there's secretly an OpenSSL 1.0.1c or something that secretly has a
backport of the OpenSSL 1.0.1e fix, and decided against it on the
grounds of complexity.
tor_malloc returns void *; in C, it is not necessary to cast a
void* to another pointer type before assigning it.
tor_malloc fails with an error rather than returning NULL; it's not
necessary to check its output. (In one case, doing so annoyed Coverity.)
