This commit implements a new config option: 'DisableAllSwap'
This option probably only works properly when Tor is started as root.
We added two new functions: tor_mlockall() and tor_set_max_memlock().
tor_mlockall() attempts to mlock() all current and all future memory pages.
For tor_mlockall() to work properly we set the process rlimits for memory to
RLIM_INFINITY (and beyond) inside of tor_set_max_memlock().
We behave differently from mlockall() by only allowing tor_mlockall() to be
called one single time. All other calls will result in a return code of 1.
It is not possible to change DisableAllSwap while running.
A sample configuration item was added to the torrc.complete.in config file.
A new item in the man page for DisableAllSwap was added.
Thanks to Moxie Marlinspike and Chris Palmer for their feedback on this patch.
Please note that we make no guarantees about the quality of your OS and its
mlock/mlockall implementation. It is possible that this will do nothing at all.
It is also possible that you can ulimit the mlock properties of a given user
such that root is not required. This has not been extensively tested and is
unsupported. I have included some comments for possible ways we can handle
this on win32.
If your relay can't keep up with the number of incoming create cells, it
would log one warning per failure into your logs. Limit warnings to 1 per
minute.
In 5e4d53d535 we made it so that
crypto_cipher_set_key cannot fail. The call will now
always succeed, to returning a boolean for success/failure makes
no sense.
This was left over from an early draft of the microdescriptor code; it
began to populate the signatures array of a networkstatus vote, even
though there's no actual need to do that for a vote.
In its zeal to keep me from saying memset(x, '0', sizeof(x)), Coverity
disallows memset(x, 48, sizeof(x)). Fine. I'll choose a different
magic number, see if I care!
In C, the code "char x[10]; if (x) {...}" always takes the true branch of
the if statement. Coverity notices this now.
In some cases, we were testing arrays to make sure that an operation
we wanted to do would suceed. Those cases are now always-true.
In some cases, we were testing arrays to see if something was _set_.
Those caes are now tests for strlen(s), or tests for
!tor_mem_is_zero(d,len).
If all authorities restart at once right before a consensus vote, nobody
will vote about "Running", and clients will get a consensus with no usable
relays. Instead, authorities refuse to build a consensus if this happens.
The first happens on an error case when a controller wants an
impossible directory object. The second happens when we can't write
our fingerprint file.
The code for these was super-wrong, but will only break things when we
reset an option on a platform where sizeof(time_t) is different from
sizeof(int).
See task 1114. The most plausible explanation for someone sending us weak
DH keys is that they experiment with their Tor code or implement a new Tor
client. Usually, we don't care about such events, especially not on warn
level. If we really care about someone not following the Tor protocol, we
can set ProtocolWarnings to 1.
This patch introduces a new type called document_signature_t to represent the
signature of a consensus document. Now, each consensus document can have up
to one document signature per voter per digest algorithm. Also, each
detached-signatures document can have up to one signature per <voter,
algorithm, flavor>.
Previously, we insisted that a valid signature must be a signature of
the expected digest. Now we accept anything that starts with the
expected digest. This lets us include another digest later.
When we tried to use the deprecated non-threadsafe evdns
interfaces in Libevent 2 without using the also-deprecated
event_init() interface, Libevent 2 would sensibly crash, since it
has no guess where to find the Libevent library.
Here we use the evdns_base_*() functions instead if they're
present, and fake them if they aren't.
This is a possible fix for bug 1023, where if we vote (or make a v2
consensus networkstatus) right after we come online, we can call
rep_hist_note_router_unreachable() on every router we haven't connected
to yet, and thereby make all their uptime values reset.
This seems to be happening to me a lot on a garbage DSL line.
We may need to come up with 2 threshholds: a high short onehop
count and a lower longer count.
Don't count one-hop circuits when we're estimating how long it
takes circuits to build on average. Otherwise we'll set our circuit
build timeout lower than we should. Bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
Directory authorities now reject Tor relays with versions less than
0.1.2.14. This step cuts out four relays from the current network,
none of which are very big.
Previously, tor-gencert would call RSA_generate_key() directly.
This won't work on Android, which removes the (deprecated since
OpenSSL 0.9.8) function. We can't call RSA_generate_key_ex()
unconditionally either, since that didn't exist before 0.9.8.
Instead, we must call our own crypto_pk_generate_key_with_bits,
which knows how to call RSA_generate_key or RSA_generate_key_ex as
appropriate.
[Based on patch by Nathan Freitas]
Apparently the Android developers dumped OpenSSL's support for hardware
acceleration in order to save some memory, so you can't build programs using
engines on Android.
[Patch revised by nickm]
This shouldn't be necessary, but apparently the Android cross-compiler
doesn't respect -I as well as it should. (-I is supposed to add to the
*front* of the search path. Android's gcc wrapper apparently likes to add to
the end. This is broken, but we need to work around it.)

test_mem_op_hex was leaking memory, which showed up in a few
tests.
Also, the dir_param test had a memleak of its own.
Found by Coverity
- 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.
The big change is to add a function to display the current SSL handshake
state, and to log it everywhere reasonable. (A failure in
SSL23_ST_CR_SRVR_HELLO_A is different from one in
SSL3_ST_CR_SESSION_TICKET_A.)
This patch also adds a new log domain for OR handshaking, so you can pull out
all the handshake log messages without having to run at debug for everything.
For example, you'd just say "log notice-err [handshake]debug-err file
tor.log".
This was the only log notice that happened during other
tor invocations, like --verify-config and --list-fingerprint.
Plus, now we think it works, so no need to hear about it.
"Tinytest" is a minimalist C unit testing framework I wrote for
Libevent. It supports some generally useful features, like being able
to run separate unit tests in their own processes.
I tried to do the refactoring to change test.c as little as possible.
Thus, we mostly don't call the tinytest macros directly. Instead, the
test.h header is now a wrapper on tinytest.h to make our existing
test_foo() macros work.
The next step(s) here will be:
- To break test.c into separate files, each with its own test group.
- To look into which things we can test
- To refactor the more fiddly tests to use the tinytest macros
directly and/or run forked.
- To see about writing unit tests for things we couldn't previously
test without forking.
If the networkstatus consensus tells us that we should use a
negative circuit package window, ignore it. Otherwise we'll
believe it and then trigger an assert.
Also, change the interface for networkstatus_get_param() so we
don't have to lookup the consensus beforehand.
A) We were considering a circuit had timed out in the special cases
where we close rendezvous circuits because the final rendezvous
circuit couldn't be built in time.
B) We were looking at the wrong timestamp_created when considering
a timeout.
Don't discard all circuits every MaxCircuitDirtiness, because the
user might legitimately have set that to a very lower number.
Also don't use up all of our idle circuits with testing circuits,
since that defeats the point of preemptive circuits.
We want it to be under our control so it doesn't mess
up initialization. This is likely the cause for
the bug the previous assert-adding commit (09a75ad) was
trying to address.
