Long ago we supported systems where there was no support for
threads, or where the threading library was broken. We shouldn't
have do that any more: on every OS that matters, threads exist, and
the OS supports running threads across multiple CPUs.
This resolves tickets 9495 and 12439. It's a prerequisite to making
our workqueue code work better, since sensible workqueue
implementations don't split across multiple processes.
When running with User set, we frequently try to look up our
information in the user database (e.g., /etc/passwd). The seccomp2
sandbox setup doesn't let us open /etc/passwd, and probably
shouldn't.
To fix this, we have a pair of wrappers for getpwnam and getpwuid.
When a real call to getpwnam or getpwuid fails, they fall back to a
cached value, if the uid/gid matches.
(Granting access to /etc/passwd isn't possible with the way we
handle opening files through the sandbox. It's not desirable either.)
If we had an address of the form "1.2.3.4" and we tried to pass it to
tor_inet_pton with AF_INET6, it was possible for our 'eow' pointer to
briefly move backwards to the point before the start of the string,
before we moved it right back to the start of the string. C doesn't
allow that, and though we haven't yet hit a compiler that decided to
nuke us in response, it's best to fix.
So, be more explicit about requiring there to be a : before any IPv4
address part of the IPv6 address. We would have rejected addresses
without a : for not being IPv6 later on anyway.
(If we don't restrict rename, there's not much point in restricting
open, since an attacker could always use rename to make us open
whatever they want.)
This time, we use a pthread_attr to make sure that if pthread_create
succeeds, the thread is successfully detached.
This probably isn't the big thing going on with 4345, since it'd be
a bit weird for pthread_detach to be failing. But it's worth
getting it right.
This reverts commit 884a0e269c.
I'm reverting this because it doesn't actually make the problem go
away. It appears that instead we need to do unmap-then-replace.
A comment by rransom on #8795 taken together with a comment by doorss
recorded on #2077 suggest that *every* attempt to replace the md cache
will fail on Vista/Win7 if we don't have the FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag
passed to CreateFile, and if we try to replace the file ourselves
before unmapping it. I'm adding the FILE_SHARE_DELETE, since that's
this simplest fix. Broken indexers (the favored #2077 hypothesis)
could still cause trouble here, but at least this patch should make us
stop stepping on our own feet.
Likely fix for #2077 and its numerous duplicates. Bugfix on
0.2.2.6-alpha, which first had a microdescriptor cache that would get
replaced before remapping it.
There are two ways to use sysconf to ask about the number of
CPUs. When we're on a VM, we would sometimes get it wrong by asking
for the number of total CPUs (say, 64) when we should have been asking
for the number of CPUs online (say, 1 or 2).
Fix for bug 8002.
We need a weak RNG in a couple of places where the strong RNG is
both needless and too slow. We had been using the weak RNG from our
platform's libc implementation, but that was problematic (because
many platforms have exceptionally horrible weak RNGs -- like, ones
that only return values between 0 and SHORT_MAX) and because we were
using it in a way that was wrong for LCG-based weak RNGs. (We were
counting on the low bits of the LCG output to be as random as the
high ones, which isn't true.)
This patch adds a separate type for a weak RNG, adds an LCG
implementation for it, and uses that exclusively where we had been
using the platform weak RNG.
