If you want a slow shutdown, send SIGNAL SHUTDOWN.
(Why not just have the default be SIGNAL QUIT? Because this case
should only happen when an owning controller has crashed, and a
crashed controller won't be able to give the user any "tor is
shutting down" feedback, and so the user gets confused for a while.
See bug 10449 for more info)
Improvement on f308adf838, where we made the ntor
unit tests run everywhere... so long as a python curve25519 module
was installed. Now the unit tests don't require that module.
I'm doing this because:
* User doesn't mean you're running as root, and running as root
doesn't mean you've set User.
* It's possible that the user has done some other
capability-based hack to retain the necessary privileges.
The remaining vestige is that we continue to publish the V2dir flag,
and that, for the controller, we continue to emit v2 directory
formats when requested.
Previously, we would sometimes decide in directory_get_from_hs_dir()
to connect to an excluded node, and then later in
directory_initiate_command_routerstatus_rend() notice that it was
excluded and strictnodes was set, and catch it as a stopgap.
Additionally, this patch preferentially tries to fetch from
non-excluded nodes even when StrictNodes is off.
Fix for bug #10722. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha (the v2 hidserv directory
system was introduced in e136f00ca). Reported by "mr-4".
When I introduced the unusable_for_new_circuits flag in
62fb209d83, I had a spurious ! in the
circuit_stream_is_being_handled loop. This made us decide that
non-unusable circuits (that is, usable ones) were the ones to avoid,
and caused it to launch a bunch of extra circuits.
Fixes bug 10456; bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
When we wrote the directory request statistics code in August 2009, we
thought that these statistics were only relevant for bridges, and that
bridges should not report them. That's why we added a switch to discard
relevant observations made by bridges. This code was first released in
0.2.2.1-alpha.
In May 2012 we learned that we didn't fully disable directory request
statistics on bridges. Bridges did report directory request statistics,
but these statistics contained empty dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs
lines. But the remaining dirreq-* lines have always been non-empty. (We
didn't notice for almost three years, because directory-request statistics
were disabled by default until 0.2.3.1-alpha, and all statistics have been
removed from bridge descriptors before publishing them on the metrics
website.)
Proposal 201, created in May 2012, suggests to add a new line called
bridge-v3-reqs that is similar to dirreq-v3-reqs, but that is published
only by bridges. This proposal is still open as of December 2013.
Since October 2012 we're using dirreq-v3-resp (not -reqs) lines in
combination with bridge-ips lines to estimate bridge user numbers; see
task 8462. This estimation method has superseded the older approach that
was only based on bridge-ips lines in November 2013. Using dirreq-v3-resp
and bridge-ips lines is a workaround. The cleaner approach would be to
use dirreq-v3-reqs instead.
This commit makes bridges report the same directory request statistics as
relays, including dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs lines. It makes
proposal 201 obsolete.
In 0.2.3.8-alpha we attempted to "completely disable stats if we aren't
running as a relay", but instead disabled them only if we aren't running
as a server.
This commit leaves DirReqStatistics enabled on both relays and bridges,
and disables (Cell,Entry,ExitPort)Statistics on bridges.
This fixes bug 10402, where the rdrand engine would use the rdrand
instruction, not as an additional entropy source, but as a replacement
for the entire userspace PRNG. That's obviously stupid: even if you
don't think that RDRAND is a likely security risk, the right response
to an alleged new alleged entropy source is never to throw away all
previously used entropy sources.
Thanks to coderman and rl1987 for diagnosing and tracking this down.
