There are three reasons we use a cached_dir_t to hold a consensus:
1. to serve that consensus to a client
2. to apply a consensus diff to an existing consensus
3. to send the consensus to a controller.
But case 1 is dircache-only. Case 2 and case 3 both fall back to
networkstatus_read_cached_consensus(). So there's no reason for us
to store this as a client. Avoiding this saves about 23% of our RAM
usage, according to our experiments last month.
This is, semantically, a partial revert of e5c608e535.
Fixes bug 27247; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
The OpenSSL "RSA" object is currently 408 bytes compares to the ASN.1 encoding
which is 140 for a 1024 RSA key.
We save 268 bytes per descriptor (routerinfo_t) *and* microdescriptor
(microdesc_t). Scaling this to 6000 relays, and considering client usually
only have microdescriptors, we save 1.608 MB of RAM which is considerable for
mobile client.
This commit makes it that we keep the RSA onion public key (used for TAP
handshake) in ASN.1 format instead of an OpenSSL RSA object.
Changes is done in both routerinfo_t and microdesc_t.
Closes#27246

This patch adds two assertions in get_net_param_from_list() to ensure
that the `res` value is correctly within the range of the output domain.
Hopefully fixes Coverity CID #1415721, #1415722, and #1415723.

Fun fact: these files used to be called log.[ch] until we ran into
conflicts with systems having a log.h file. But now that we always
include "lib/log/log.h", we should be fine.
This commit won't build yet -- it just puts everything in a slightly
more logical place.
The reasoning here is that "src/core" will hold the stuff that every (or
nearly every) tor instance will need in order to do onion routing.
Other features (including some necessary ones) will live in
"src/feature". The "src/app" directory will hold the stuff needed
to have Tor be an application you can actually run.
This commit DOES NOT refactor the former contents of src/or into a
logical set of acyclic libraries, or change any code at all. That
will have to come in the future.
We will continue to move things around and split them in the future,
but I hope this lays a reasonable groundwork for doing so.
