getpid() can be really expensive sometimes, and it can fail to
detect some kind of fork+prng mistakes, so we need to avoid it if
it's safe to do so.
This patch might slow down fast_prng a lot on any old operating
system that lacks a way to prevent ram from being inherited, AND
requires a syscall for any getpid() calls. But it should make sure
that we either crash or continue safely on incorrect fork+prng usage
elsewhere in the future.
When classifying a client's selection of TLS ciphers, if the client
ciphers are not yet available, do not cache the result. Previously,
we had cached the unavailability of the cipher list and never looked
again, which in turn led us to assume that the client only supported
the ancient V1 link protocol. This, in turn, was causing Stem
integration tests to stall in some cases. Fixes bug 30021; bugfix
on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
When we fixed 28614, our answer was "if we failed to load the
consensus on windows and it had a CRLF, retry it." But we logged
the failure at "warn", and we only logged the retry at "info".
Now we log the retry at "notice", with more useful information.
Fixes bug 30004.
This is just in case there is some rogue platform that uses a
nonstandard value for SEEK_*, and does not define that macro in
unistd.h. I think that's unlikely, but it's conceivable.
Previously we used time(NULL) to set the Expires: header in our HTTP
responses. This made the actual contents of that header untestable,
since the unit tests have no good way to override time(), or to see
what time() was at the exact moment of the call to time() in
dircache.c.
This gave us a race in dir_handle_get/status_vote_next_bandwidth,
where the time() call in dircache.c got one value, and the call in
the tests got another value.
I'm applying our regular solution here: using approx_time() so that
the value stays the same between the code and the test. Since
approx_time() is updated on every event callback, we shouldn't be
losing any accuracy here.
Fixes bug 30001. Bug introduced in fb4a40c32c4a7e5; not in any
released Tor.
