We used to use this when we had some controllers that would accept
long names and some that wouldn't. But it's been obsolete for a
while, and it's time to strip it out of the code.
Previously we'd put these strings right on the controllers'
outbufs. But this could cause some trouble, for these reasons:
1) Calling the network stack directly here would make a huge portion
of our networking code (from which so much of the rest of Tor is
reachable) reachable from everything that potentially generated
controller events.
2) Since _some_ events (EVENT_ERR for instance) would cause us to
call connection_flush(), every control_event_* function would
appear to be able to reach even _more_ of the network stack in
our cllgraph.
3) Every time we generated an event, we'd have to walk the whole
connection list, which isn't exactly fast.
This is an attempt to break down the "blob" described in
http://archives.seul.org/tor/dev/Mar-2015/msg00197.html -- the set of
functions from which nearly all the other functions in Tor are
reachable.
Closes ticket 16695.
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
Make sure that signing certs are signed by the right identity key,
to prevent a recurrence of #16530. Also make sure that the master
identity key we find on disk matches the one we have in RAM, if we
have one.
This is for #16581.
When there is a signing key and the certificate lists a key, make
sure that the certificate lists the same signing key.
When there are public key and secret key stored in separate files,
make sure they match.
Use the right file name when we load an encrypted secret key and
then find a problem with it.
This is part of 16581.
When cleaning up extra circuits that we've opened for performance reason, we
need to count all the introduction circuit and not only the established ones
else we can end up with too many introduction points.
This also adds the check for expiring nodes when serving an INTRODUCE cell
since it's possible old clients are still using them before we have time to
close them.

To upload a HS descriptor, this commits makes it that we wait for all
introduction point to be fully established.
Else, the HS ends up uploading a descriptor that may contain intro points
that are not yet "valid" meaning not yet established or proven to work. It
could also trigger three uploads for the *same* descriptor if every intro
points takes more than 30 seconds to establish because of desc_is_dirty
being set at each intro established.
To achieve that, n_intro_points_established varialbe is added to the
rend_service_t object that is incremented when we established introduction
point and decremented when we remove a valid intro point from our list.
The condition to upload a descriptor also changes to test if all intro
points are ready by making sure we have equal or more wanted intro points
that are ready.
The desc_id_dirty flag is kept to be able to still use the
RendInitialPostPeriod option.
This partially fixes#13483.

There is a case where if the introduction circuit fails but the node is
still in the consensus, we clean up the intro point and choose an other one.
This commit fixes that by trying to reuse the existing intro point with a
maximum value of retry.
A retry_nodes list is added to rend_services_introduce() and when we remove
an invalid intro points that fits the use case mentionned before, we add the
node to the retry list instead of removing it. Then, we retry on them before
creating new ones.
This means that the requirement to remove an intro point changes from "if no
intro circuit" to "if no intro circuit then if no node OR we've reached our
maximum circuit creation count".
For now, the maximum retries is set to 3 which it completely arbitrary. It
should also at some point be tied to the work done on detecting if our
network is down or not.

The reasoning for refactoring this function is that removing the
introduction point adaptative algorithm (#4862) ended up changing quite a
bit rend_services_introduce(). Also, to fix some open issues (#8239, #8864
and #13483), this work had to be done.
First, this removes time_expiring variable in an intro point object and
INTRO_POINT_EXPIRATION_GRACE_PERIOD trickery and use an expiring_nodes list
where intro nodes that should expire are moved to that list and cleaned up
only once the new descriptor is successfully uploaded. The previous scheme
was adding complexity and arbitrary timing to when we expire an intro point.
We keep the intro points until we are sure that the new descriptor is
uploaded and thus ready to be used by clients. For this,
rend_service_desc_has_uploaded() is added to notify the HS subsystem that
the descriptor has been successfully uploaded. The purpose of this function
is to cleanup the expiring nodes and circuits if any.
Secondly, this adds the remove_invalid_intro_points() function in order to
split up rend_services_introduce() a bit with an extra modification to it
that fixes#8864. We do NOT close the circuit nor delete the intro point if
the circuit is still alive but the node was removed from the consensus. Due
to possible information leak, we let the circuit and intro point object
expire instead.
Finally, the whole code flow is simplified and large amount of documentation
has been added to mostly explain the why of things in there.
Fixes#8864

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

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.
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.
Fixes bug 16400. Thanks to torkeln for reporting and
cypherpunks_backup for diagnosing and writing the first fix here.
Every functions and objects that are used for hidden service descriptor
caches are moved to rendcache.{c|h}.
This commit does NOT change anything, just moving code around.
Fixes#16399
Signed-off-by: David Goulet <dgoulet@ev0ke.net>
For now, rend_cache_entry_t has been moved from or.h to rendcache.h and
those files have been added to the build system.
In the next commit, these will contain hidden service descriptor cache ABI
and API for both client and directory side. The goal is to consolidate the
descriptor caches in one location to ease development, maintenance, review
and improve documentation for each cache behavior and algorithm.
