This patch changes the API of the Windows backend of the Process
subsystem to allow the dormant interface to disable the Process event
timer.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch changes our EVENT_TRANSPORT_LOG event to be EVENT_PT_LOG. The
new message includes the path to the PT executable instead of the
transport name, since one PT binary can include multiple transport they
sometimes might need to log messages that are not specific to a given
transport.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch changes our process_t's exit_callback to return a boolean
value. If the returned value is true, the process subsystem will call
process_free() on the given process_t.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch changes the slow process_t tests to use
run_main_loop_until_done() instead of do_main_loop() since
do_main_loop() initializes a lot of subsystem callbacks that we don't
need to run in our tests.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch ensures that AppVeyor copies over libssp-0.dll and zlib1.dll
to src/test/ to make sure we can run text-process.exe from our slow
tests.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch disables fork()'ing of the slow process tests. This fixes the
tests on the MacOS and other kqueue() based platforms.
Without this patch the main loop exits eearly with EBADF as error.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch moves the remaining code from subprocess.{h,c} to more
appropriate places in the process.c and process_win32.c module.
We also delete the now empty subprocess module files.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds test cases for process_t which uses Tor's main loop.
This allows us to test that the callbacks are actually invoked by the
main loop when we expect them.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds support for the "LOG" protocol message from a pluggable
transport. This allows pluggable transport developers to relay log
messages from their binary to Tor, which will both emit them as log
messages from the Tor process itself, but also pass them on via the
control port.

This patch makes the managed proxy subsystem use the process_t data
structure such that we can get events from the PT process while Tor is
running and not just when the PT process is being configured.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds a new function that allows us to reset the environment
of a given process_t with a list of key/value pairs.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch makes sure that we call process_notify_event_exit() after we
have done any modifications we need to do to the state of a process_t.
This allows application developers to call process_free() in the
exit_callback of the process.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds support for getting the unique process identifier from a
given process_t. This patch implements both support for both the Unix
and Microsoft Windows backend.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds support for Microsoft Windows in the Process subsystem.
Libevent does not support mixing different types of handles (sockets,
named pipes, etc.) on Windows in its core event loop code. This have
historically meant that Tor have avoided attaching any non-networking
handles to the event loop. This patch uses a slightly different approach
to roughly support the same features for the Process subsystem as we do
with the Unix backend.
In this patch we use Windows Extended I/O functions (ReadFileEx() and
WriteFileEx()) which executes asynchronously in the background and
executes a completion routine when the scheduled read or write operation
have completed. This is much different from the Unix backend where the
operating system signals to us whenever a file descriptor is "ready" to
either being read from or written to.
To make the Windows operating system execute the completion routines of
ReadFileEx() and WriteFileEx() we must get the Tor process into what
Microsoft calls an "alertable" state. To do this we execute SleepEx()
with a zero millisecond sleep time from a main loop timer that ticks
once a second. This moves the process into the "alertable" state and
when we return from the zero millisecond timeout all the outstanding I/O
completion routines will be called and we can schedule the next reads
and writes.
The timer loop is also responsible for detecting whether our child
processes have terminated since the last timer tick.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
This patch adds the Unix backend for the Process subsystem. The Unix
backend attaches file descriptors from the child process's standard in,
out and error to Tor's libevent based main loop using traditional Unix
pipes. We use the already available `waitpid` module to get events
whenever the child process terminates.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
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.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/28179
The strcmp_len() function was somewhat misconceived, since we're
only using it to test whether a length+extent string is equal to a
NUL-terminated string or not. By simplifying it and making it
inlined, we should be able to make it a little faster.
(It *does* show up in profiles.)
Closes ticket 28856.
The old implementation did some funky out-of-order lexing, and
tended to parse every port twice if the %d-%d pattern didn't match.
Closes ticket 28853.
