Code movement for the refactoring for ticket 24658 didn't copy the
inclusion of sys/random.h, which is needed to get a prototype for
getentropy() on macOS 10.12 Sierra. It also didn't copy the inclusion
of sys/syscall.h, which might prevent the getrandom() syscall from
being properly detected. Move these inclusions. Bug not in any
released Tor.
Sometimes the logging system will queue a log message for later.
When it does this, the callback will either get flushed at the next
safe time, or from the second-elapsed callback.
But we're trying to eliminate the second-elapsed callback, so let's
make a way for the log system to tell its users about this.
Our main function, though accurate on all platforms, can be very
slow on 32-bit hosts. This one is faster on all 32-bit hosts, and
accurate everywhere except apple, where it will typically be off by
1%. But since 32-bit apple is a relic anyway, I think we should be
fine.
Previously were using this value to have a cheap highish-resolution
timer. But we were only using it in one place, and current dogma is
to use monotime_coarse_t for this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, the units passed to
monotime_coarse_stamp_units_to_approx_msec() was always 0 due to a type
conversion.

Both header and code file had some indentation issues after mass renaming.
No code behavior change.

Really, the uint32_t is only an optimization; any kind of unit
should work fine. Some users might want to use time_t or
monotime_coarse_t or something like that.
Begin by creating a lowest-level triple of the types needed to
implement a token bucket: a configuration, a timestamp, and the raw
bucket itself.
Note that for low-level buckets, the units of the timestamp and the
bucket itself are unspecified: each user can use a different type.
(This patch breaks check-spaces; a later patch will fix it)
This is a simple search-and-replace to rename the token bucket type
to indicate that it contains both a read and a write bucket, bundled
with their configuration. It's preliminary to refactoring the
bucket type.
We've been labeling some events as happening "outside the event
loop", to avoid Libevent starvation. This patch provides a cleaner
mechanism to avoid that starvation.
For background, the problem here is that Libevent only scans for new
events once it has run all its active callbacks. So if the
callbacks keep activating new callbacks, they could potentially
starve Libevent indefinitely and keep it from ever checking for
timed, socket, or signal events.
To solve this, we add the ability to label some events as
"post-loop". The rule for a "post-loop" event is that any events
_it_ activates can only be run after libevent has re-scanned for new
events at least once.
This differs from our previous token bucket abstraction in a few
ways:
1) It is an abstraction, and not a collection of fields.
2) It is meant to be used with monotonic timestamps, which should
produce better results than calling gettimeofday over and over.
