None of the things we might exec() can possibly run under the
sanbox, so rather than crash later, we have to refuse to accept the
configuration nice and early.
The longer-term solution is to have an exec() helper, but wow is
that risky.
fixes 12043; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha
on #9686, gmorehose reports that the 500 MB lower limit is too high
for raspberry pi users.
This is a backport of 647248729f to 0.2.4.
Note that in 0.2.4, the option is called MaxMemInCellQueues.
If we can't detect the physical memory, the new default is 8 GB on
64-bit architectures, and 1 GB on 32-bit architectures.
If we *can* detect the physical memory, the new default is
CLAMP(256 MB, phys_mem * 0.75, MAX_DFLT)
where MAX_DFLT is 8 GB on 64-bit architectures and 2 GB on 32-bit
architectures.
You can still override the default by hand. The logic here is simply
trying to choose a lower default value on systems with less than 12 GB
of physical RAM.
This means that tor can run without needing to communicate with ioctls
to the firewall, and therefore doesn't need to run with privileges to
open the /dev/pf device node.
A new TransProxyType is added for this purpose, "pf-divert"; if the user
specifies this TransProxyType in their torrc, then the pf device node is
never opened and the connection destination is determined with getsockname
(as per pf(4)). The default behaviour (ie., when TransProxyType is "default"
when using the pf firewall) is still to assume that pf is configured with
rdr-to rules.
This isn't on by default; to get it, you need to set "TransProxyType
ipfw". (The original patch had automatic detection for whether
/dev/pf is present and openable, but that seems marginally fragile.)
(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.)
A new set of unit test cases are provided, as well as introducing
an alternative paradigm and macros to support it. Primarily, each test
case is given its own namespace, in order to isolate tests from each
other. We do this by in the usual fashion, by appending module and
submodule names to our symbols. New macros assist by reducing friction
for this and other tasks, like overriding a function in the global
namespace with one in the current namespace, or declaring integer
variables to assist tracking how many times a mock has been called.
A set of tests for a small-scale module has been included in this
commit, in order to highlight how the paradigm can be used. This
suite gives 100% coverage to status.c in test execution.
By default, after you've made a connection to port XYZ, we assume
you might still want to have an exit ready to connect to XYZ for one
hour. This patch lets you lower that interval.
