The control port was using set_max_file_descriptors() with a limit set to 0
to query the number of maximum socket Tor can use. With the recent changes
to that function, a check was introduced to make sure a user can not set a
value below the amount we reserved for non socket.
This commit adds get_max_sockets() that returns the value of max_sockets so
we can stop using that "setter" function to get the current value.
Finally, the dead code is removed that is the code that checked for limit
equal to 0. From now on, set_max_file_descriptors() should never be used
with a limit set to 0 for a valid use case.

URI syntax (and DNS syntax) allows for a single trailing `.` to
explicitly distinguish between a relative and absolute
(fully-qualified) domain name. While this is redundant in that RFC 1928
DOMAINNAME addresses are *always* fully-qualified, certain clients
blindly pass the trailing `.` along in the request.

1) We already require C99.
2) This allows us to support MSVC again (thanks to Gisle Vanem for
this part)
3) This change allows us to dump some rotten old compatibility code
from log.c
It did a good idea, but the code-quality of libupnpc and libnatpnp
is so dodgy that I'm not really comfortable including them alongside
Tor proper. Instead, we'll recommend that people do the pure-go
reimplementation instead. Closes ticket 13338.
The runtime sanity checking is slightly different from the optimized
basepoint stuff in that it uses a given implementation's self tests if
available, and checks if signing/verification works with a test vector
from the IETF EdDSA draft.
The unit tests include a new testcase that will fuzz donna against ref0,
including the blinding and curve25519 key conversion routines. If this
is something that should be done at runtime (No?), the code can be
stolen from there.
Note: Integrating batch verification is not done yet.
Integration work scavanged from nickm's `ticket8897_9663_v2` branch,
with minor modifications. Tor will still sanity check the output but
now also attempts to catch extreme breakage by spot checking the
optimized implementation vs known values from the NaCl documentation.
Implements feature 9663.
The following arguments change how chutney verifies the network:
--bytes n sends n bytes per test connection (10 KBytes)
--connections n makes n test connections per client (1)
--hs-multi-client 1 makes each client connect to each HS (0)

Note: using --connections 7 or greater on a HS will trigger #15937.

This is a way to specify the amount of introduction points an hidden service
can have. Maximum value is 10 and the default is 3.
Fixes#4862
Signed-off-by: David Goulet <dgoulet@ev0ke.net>
When we ran out of intro points for a hidden service (which could
happen on a newnym), we would change the connection's state back to
"waiting for hidden service descriptor." But this would make an
assertion fail if we went on to call circuit_get_open_circ_or_launch
again.
This fixes bug 16013; I believe the bug was introduced in
38be533c69, where we made it possible for
circuit_get_open_circ_or_launch() to change the connection's state.
RFC 952 is approximately 30 years old, and people are failing to comply,
by serving A records with '_' as part of the hostname. Since relaxing
the check is a QOL improvement for our userbase, relax the check to
allow such abominations as destinations, especially since there are
likely to be other similarly misconfigured domains out there.
When I fixed#11243, I made it so we would take the digest of a
descriptor before tokenizing it, so we could desist from download
attempts if parsing failed. But when I did that, I didn't remove an
assertion that the descriptor began with "onion-key". Usually, this
was enforced by "find_start_of_next_microdescriptor", but when
find_start_of_next_microdescriptor returned NULL, the assertion was
triggered.

When calling pthread_attr_setdetachstate, we were using 1 as the
argument. But the pthreads documentation says that you have to say
PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACH, which on Solaris is apparently 0x40. Calling
pthread_attr_setdetachstate with 1 crashes on Solaris with FLTBOUNDS.
(Because we're so late in the release cycle, I made the code define
PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED if it doesn't exist, so we aren't likely to
break any other platforms.)
This bug was introduced when we made threading mandatory in

`dir_info_status` is used from main.c:directory_info_has_arrived() to

If the consensus does not contain Exits, Tor will only build internal
circuits. In this case, relevant statuses will contain the word "internal"
as indicated in the Tor control-spec.txt. When bootstrap completes,
Tor will be ready to handle an application requesting an internal
circuit to hidden services at ".onion" addresses.
If a future consensus contains Exits, exit circuits may become available.
Tor already notifies the user at "notice" level if they have no exits in
the consensus, and can therefor only build internal paths.
Consequential change from #13718.
Tor can now build circuits from a consensus with no exits.
But if it tries to build exit circuits, they fail and flood the logs.
The circuit types in the Exit Circuits list below will only be
built if the current consensus has exits. If it doesn't,
only the Internal Circuits will be built. (This can change
with each new consensus.)
Fixes bug #13814, causes fewer path failures due to #13817.

If the consensus has no exits (typical of a bootstrapping
test network), allow tor to build circuits once enough
descriptors have been downloaded.
When there are no exits, we always have "enough"
exit descriptors. (We treat the proportion of available
exit descriptors as 100%.)
This assists in bootstrapping a testing Tor network.

choose_good_entry_server() now excludes current entry
guards and their families, unless we're in a test network,
and excluding guards would exclude all nodes.
This typically occurs in incredibly small tor networks,

behaviour, and only applies to minimal, testing tor networks
(so it's no less secure).

Make hidden service port scanning harder by sending back REASON_DONE which
does not disclose that it was in fact an exit policy issue. After that, kill

When closing parallel introduction points, the given reason (timeout)
was actually changed to "no reason" thus when the circuit purpose was
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCE_ACK_WAIT, we were reporting an introduction
point failure and flagging it "unreachable". After three times, that
intro point gets removed from the rend cache object.
In the case of CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCING, the intro point was
flagged has "timed out" and thus not used until the connection to the HS
is closed where that flag gets reset.
This commit adds an internal circuit reason called
END_CIRC_REASON_IP_NOW_REDUNDANT which tells the closing circuit
mechanism to not report any intro point failure.
This has been observed while opening hundreds of connections to an HS on
different circuit for each connection. This fix makes this use case to
