This patch changes the CancelIoEx() example code to use CancelIo(),
which is available for older versions of Windows too. I still think the
kernel handles this nicely by sending broken pipes if either side
closes the pipe while I/O operations are pending.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
Handle `ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE` from ReadFileEx() and WriteFileEx() in
process_win32_stdin_write_done() and
process_win32_handle_read_completion() instead of in the early handler.
This most importantmly makes sure that `reached_eof` is set to true when
these errors appears.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds some missing calls to set `reached_eof` of our handles
when various error conditions happens or when we close our handle (which
happens at `process_terminate()`.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds some additional error checking after calls to
ReadFileEx() and WriteFileEx(). I have not managed to get this code to
reach the branch where `error_code` is NOT `ERROR_SUCCESS`, but MSDN
says one should check for this condition so we do so just to be safe.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch makes us delay checking for whether we have an exit code
value (via GetExitCodeProcess()) until both stdout and stderr have been
closed by the operating system either by the process itself or by
process cleanup after termination.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch makes sure that we terminate the event loop from the event
loop timer instead of directly in the process' exit handler. This allows
us to run the event loop an additional time to ensure that the SleepEx()
call on Windows is called and the data from stdout/stderr is delivered
to us.
Additionally we ensure that we don't try to read or write data from a
Unix process that have been terminated in the main loop, since its file
descriptors are closed at that time.

This patch changes the API of the Windows backend of the Process
subsystem to allow the dormant interface to disable the Process event
timer.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch changes our process_t's exit_callback to return a boolean
value. If the returned value is true, the process subsystem will call
process_free() on the given process_t.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch moves the remaining code from subprocess.{h,c} to more
appropriate places in the process.c and process_win32.c module.
We also delete the now empty subprocess module files.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds a new function that allows us to reset the environment
of a given process_t with a list of key/value pairs.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch makes sure that we call process_notify_event_exit() after we
have done any modifications we need to do to the state of a process_t.
This allows application developers to call process_free() in the
exit_callback of the process.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds support for getting the unique process identifier from a
given process_t. This patch implements both support for both the Unix
and Microsoft Windows backend.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds support for Microsoft Windows in the Process subsystem.
Libevent does not support mixing different types of handles (sockets,
named pipes, etc.) on Windows in its core event loop code. This have
historically meant that Tor have avoided attaching any non-networking
handles to the event loop. This patch uses a slightly different approach
to roughly support the same features for the Process subsystem as we do
with the Unix backend.
In this patch we use Windows Extended I/O functions (ReadFileEx() and
WriteFileEx()) which executes asynchronously in the background and
executes a completion routine when the scheduled read or write operation
have completed. This is much different from the Unix backend where the
operating system signals to us whenever a file descriptor is "ready" to
either being read from or written to.
To make the Windows operating system execute the completion routines of
ReadFileEx() and WriteFileEx() we must get the Tor process into what
Microsoft calls an "alertable" state. To do this we execute SleepEx()
with a zero millisecond sleep time from a main loop timer that ticks
once a second. This moves the process into the "alertable" state and
when we return from the zero millisecond timeout all the outstanding I/O
completion routines will be called and we can schedule the next reads
and writes.
The timer loop is also responsible for detecting whether our child
processes have terminated since the last timer tick.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds the Unix backend for the Process subsystem. The Unix
backend attaches file descriptors from the child process's standard in,
out and error to Tor's libevent based main loop using traditional Unix
pipes. We use the already available `waitpid` module to get events
whenever the child process terminates.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds a new Process subsystem for running external programs in
the background of Tor. The design is focused around a new type named
`process_t` which have an API that allows the developer to easily write
code that interacts with the given child process. These interactions
includes:
- Easy API for writing output to the child process's standard input
handle.
- Receive callbacks whenever the child has output on either its standard
output or standard error handles.
- Receive callback when the child process terminates.
We also support two different "protocols" for handling output from the
child process. The default protocol is the "line" protocol where the
process output callbacks will be invoked only when there is complete
lines (either "\r\n" or "\n" terminated). We also support the "raw"
protocol where the read callbacks will get whatever the operating system
delivered to us in a single read operation.
This patch does not include any operating system backends, but the Unix
and Windows backends will be included in separate commits.

The point of this function is to make sure that the ed25519-based
implementation of curve25519_basepoint() actually works when we
start tor, and use the regular fallback implementation if it
doesn't. But it accounts for 9% of our startup time in the case
when we have directory information, and I think it's safe to make
the test shorter. After all, it has yet to find any actual bugs in
curved25519_scalarmult_basepoint_donna() on any platforms.
Closes ticket 28838.
When the clock jumps, and we have a record of last user activity,
adjust that record. This way if I'm inactive for 10 minutes and
then the laptop is sleeping for an hour, I'll still count as having
been inactive for 10 minutes.
Previously, we treat every jump as if it were activity, which is
ridiculous, and would prevent a Tor instance with a jumpy clock from
ever going dormant.
This patch adds two new functions: buf_flush_to_pipe() and
buf_read_from_pipe(), which makes use of our new buf_flush_to_fd() and
buf_read_from_fd() functions.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch refactors buf_read_from_socket() into buf_read_from_fd(), and
creates a specialized function for buf_read_from_socket(), which uses
buf_read_from_fd().
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch refactors buf_flush_to_socket() into buf_flush_to_fd() and
creates a specialization function for buf_flush_to_socket() that makes
use of buf_flush_to_fd().
