On Windows, we never use pthreads, since it doesn't usually exist,
and when it does it tends to be a little weirdly-behaved. But some
mingw installations have a pthreads installed, so autoconf detects
pthread.h and tells us about it. This would make us include
pthread.h, which could make for trouble when the iffy pthread.h
tried to include config.h.
This patch changes compat.h so that we never include pthread.h on
Windows. Fixes bug 2313; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
It's all too easy in C to convert an unsigned value to a signed one,
which will (on all modern computers) give you a huge signed value. If
you have a size_t value of size greater than SSIZE_T_MAX, that is way
likelier to be an underflow than it is to be an actual request for
more than 2gb of memory in one go. (There's nothing in Tor that
should be trying to allocate >2gb chunks.)
If you had TIME_MAX > INT_MAX, and your "time_to_exhaust_bw =
accountingmax/expected_bandwidth_usage * 60" calculation managed to
overflow INT_MAX, then your time_to_consider value could underflow and
wind up being rediculously low or high. "Low" was no problem;
negative values got caught by the (time_to_consider <= 0) check.
"High", however, would get you a wakeup time somewhere in the distant
future.
The fix is to check for time_to_exhaust_bw overflowing INT_MAX, not
TIME_MAX: We don't allow any accounting interval longer than a month,
so if time_to_exhaust_bw is significantly larger than 31*24*60*60, we
can just clip it.
This is a bugfix on 0.0.9pre6, when accounting was first introduced.
It fixes bug 2146, unless there are other causes there too. The fix
is from boboper. (I tweaked it slightly by removing an assignment
that boboper marked as dead, and lowering a variable that no longer
needed to be function-scoped.)
The old logic would have us fetch from authorities if we were refusing
unknown exits and our exit policy was reject*. Instead, we want to
fetch from authorities if we're refusing unknown exits and our exit
policy is _NOT_ reject*.
Fixed by boboper. Fixes more of 2097. Bugfix on 0.2.2.16-alpha.
We use a hash of the identity key to seed a prng to tell when an
accounting period should end. But thanks to the bug998 changes,
clients no longer have server-identity keys to use as a long-term seed
in accounting calculations. In any case, their identity keys (as used
in TLS) were never never fixed. So we can just set the wakeup time
from a random seed instead there. Still open is whether everybody
should be random.
This patch fixes bug 2235, which was introduced in 0.2.2.18-alpha.
Diagnosed with help from boboper on irc.
The spec stated that support for the helper-nodes command would be removed
in 0.1.3.x, however support for this command is still in Tor. Updated the spec
to reflect this and added a node that the command is deprecated.
Several updates to grammars for events and GETINFO results. All relate
to the fact that LongName has replaced ServerID since 0.2.2.1-alpha. See
documentation of VERBOSE_NAMES for more information. The following
grammars were changed:
* orconn-status GETINFO result
* entry-guards GETINFO result
* Path general token
* OR Connection status changed event
* New descriptors available event
In all cases a note was added about when the old grammar applies.
(1) Made the wording of the comments consistant with token names.
Digest/Fingerprint and Name/Nickname were being used interchangeably.
Better to just use Fingerprint and Nickname becuase they are the names
of the tokens.
(2) Places the tokens currently in use before the tokens used in older
versions. ServerSpec should be documented before ServerID.
(3) Added a note to the comments about ServerID that cross reference
the VERBOSE_FEATURE, allowing users to see when and why ServerID was
replaced with LongName.
(1) On by default is a bad way to describe features. Rather, they
are always on and should be viewed as a part of the control
protocol. Updated the wording in USEFEATURE to reflect this.
(2) Made descriptions of Tor versions consistant across all
features. There is the version in which a feature was introduced and
the version in which it became part of the protocol.
(3) Reworded the description of the VERBOSE_NAMES feature. The
previous wording describes the way things used to be first. Better to
lead with the current state of things and then describe how it differs
from old versions.
