This representation is meant to save memory in microdescriptors --
we can't use it in routerinfo_t yet, since those families need to be
encoded losslessly for directory voting to work.
This representation saves memory in three ways:
1. It uses only one allocation per family. (The old way used a
smartlist (2 allocs) plus one strdup per entry.)
2. It stores identity digests in binary, not hex.
3. It keeps families in a canonical format, memoizes, and
reference-counts them.
Part of #27359.
It differs from the rest of the rephist code in that it's actually
necessary for Tor to operate, so it should probably go somewhere
else. I'm not sure where yet, so I'll leave it in the same
directory, but give it its own file.
Since this is completely core functionality, I'm putting it in
core/mainloop, even though it depends on feature/hibernate. We'll
have to sort that out in the future.
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.
In dirauth:
* bwauth.c reads and uses bandwidth files
* guardfraction.c reads and uses the guardfraction file
* reachability.c tests relay reachability
* recommend_pkg.c handles the recommended-packages lines.
* recv_descs.c handles fingerprint files and processing incoming
routerinfos that relays upload to us
* voteflag.c computes flag thresholds and sets those thresholds on
routerstatuses when computing votes
In control:
* fmt_serverstatus.c generates the ancient "v1 server status"
format that controllers expect.
In nodelist:
* routerstatus_fmt.c formats routerstatus entries for a consensus,
a vote, or for the controller.
There are now separate modules for:
* the list of router descriptors
* the list of authorities and fallbacks
* managing authority certificates
* selecting random nodes
That place is git-revision.c; git-revision.c now lives in lib/log.
Also fix the compilation rules so that all object files that need
micro-revision.i depend on it.
This is a very gentle commit that just lays the groundwork in the
build system: it puts the include files to build libtor-app.a into
src/core, and to build the tor executable into src/app. The
executable is now "src/app/tor".
