Previously, we would detect errors from a missing RNG
implementation, but not failures from the RNG code itself.
Fortunately, it appears those failures do not happen in practice
when Tor is using OpenSSL's default RNG implementation. Fixes bug
40390; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as
TROVE-2021-004. Reported by Jann Horn at Google's Project Zero.
The new version of shellcheck says that that this idiom is
unnecessary, and its presence here is making the shellcheck tests
fail.
No changes file needed, since this is not user-facing code.
When seccomp sandbox is active, SAVECONF failed because it was not
able to save the backup files for torrc. This commit simplifies
the implementation of SAVECONF and sandbox by making it keep only
one backup of the configuration file.
The connection type for the listener part was missing from the "is
connection a listener" function.
This lead to our periodic event that retries our listeners to keep
trying to bind() again on an already opened MetricsPort.

This change permits the newfstatat() system call, and fixes issues
40382 (and 40381).
This isn't a free change. From the commit:
// Libc 2.33 uses this syscall to implement both fstat() and stat().
//
// The trouble is that to implement fstat(fd, &st), it calls:
// newfstatat(fs, "", &st, AT_EMPTY_PATH)
// We can't detect this usage in particular, because "" is a pointer
// we don't control. And we can't just look for AT_EMPTY_PATH, since
// AT_EMPTY_PATH only has effect when the path string is empty.
//
// So our only solution seems to be allowing all fstatat calls, which
// means that an attacker can stat() anything on the filesystem. That's
// not a great solution, but I can't find a better one.
As of GCC 11.1.1, the compiler warns us about code like this:
if (a)
b;
c;
and that's a good thing: we wouldn't want to "goto fail". But we
had an instance if this in circuituse.c, which was making our
compilation sad.
Fixes bug 40380; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
