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.

Additionally, use it to test that is_staledesc is set correctly.
Eventually we'll want to test all the other flags, but I'm aiming
for only adding coverage on the changed code here.
The main.c code is responsible for initialization and shutdown;
the mainloop.c code is responsible for running the main loop of Tor.
Splitting the "generic event loop" part of mainloop.c from the
event-loop-specific part is not done as part of this patch.
The parts for handling cell formats should be in src/core/or.
The parts for handling onionskin queues should be in src/core/or.
Only the crypto wrapper belongs in src/core/crypto.
We used to link both libraries at once, but now that I'm working on
TLS, there's nothing left to keep OpenSSL around for when NSS is
enabled.
Note that this patch causes a couple of places that still assumed
OpenSSL to be disabled when NSS is enabled
- tor-gencert
- pbkdf2
Also, add a stubbed-out nss version of the modules. The tests won't
pass with NSS yet since the NSS modules don't do anything.
This is a good patch to read with --color-moved.
This is meant for use when encrypting the current time within the
period in order to get a monotonically increasing revision counter
without actually revealing our view of the time.
This scheme is far from the most state-of-the-art: don't use it for
anything else without careful analysis by somebody much smarter than
I am.
See ticket #25552 for some rationale for this logic.
This functionality was covered only accidentally by our voting-test
code, and as such wasn't actually tested at all. The tests that
called it made its coverage nondeterministic, depending on what time
of day you ran the tests.
Closes ticket 26014.
I'd prefer not to do this for randomized tests, but as things stand
with this test, it produces nondeterministic test coverage.
Closes ticket 25995; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha when this test was
introduced.
