This patch is a result of auditing all of our uses of
get_datadir_fname() and its kin, and dividing them into cache vs
keys vs other data.
The new get_keydir_fname() and get_cachedir_fname() functions don't
actually do anything new yet.
DisableNetwork is a subset of net_is_disabled(), which is (now) a
subset of should_delay_dir_fetches().
Some of these changes are redundant with others higher or lower in
the call stack. The ones that I think are behavior-relevant are
listed in the changes file. I've also added comments in a few
places where the behavior is subtle.
Fixes bug 12062; bugfix on various versions.
Because the HS and SR subsystems can use the voting schedule early (with the
changes in #23623 making the SR subsystem using the static voting schedule
object), we need to recalculate the schedule very early when setting the new
consensus.

Sometimes when we call exit(), it's because the process is
completely hopeless: openssl has a broken AES-CTR implementation, or
the clock is in the 1960s, or something like that.
But sometimes, we should return cleanly from tor_main() instead, so
that embedders can keep embedding us and start another Tor process.
I've gone through all the exit() and _exit() calls to annotate them
with "exit ok" or "XXXX bad exit" -- the next step will be to fix
the bad exit()s.
First step towards 23848.
Right now there's a single warn_if_unnamed flag for
router_get_consensus_status_by_nickname() and
node_get_by_nickname(), that is nearly always 1. I've turned it
into an 'unsigned' bitfield, and inverted its sense. I've added the
flags argument to node_get_by_hex_id() too, though it does nothing
there right now.
I've removed the router_get_consensus_status_by_nickname() function,
since it was only used in once place.
This patch changes the warning behavior of GETINFO ns/name/<name>,
since all other name lookups from the controller currently warn.
Later I'm going to add more flags, for ed25519 support.
We also had to alter the SRV functions to take a consensus as optional
input, since we might be setting our HSDir index using a consensus that
is currently being processed and won't be returned by the
networkstatus_get_live_consensus() function.
This change has two results:
a) It makes sure we are using a fresh consensus with the right SRV value
when we are calculating the HSDir hash ring.
b) It ensures that we will not use the sr_get_current/previous()
functions when we don't have a consensus which would have falsely
triggered the disaster SRV logic.
These still won't do anything till I get the values to be filled in.
Also, I changed the API a little (with corresponding changes in
directory.c) to match things that it's easier to store.
Checking all of these parameter lists for every single connection every second
seems like it could be an expensive waste.
Updating globally cached versions when there is a new consensus will still
allow us to apply consensus parameter updates to all existing connections
immediately.
This defense will cause Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and other routers operating
in the default configuration to collapse netflow records that would normally
be split due to the 15 second flow idle timeout.
Collapsing these records should greatly reduce the utility of default netflow
data for correlation attacks, since all client-side records should become 30
minute chunks of total bytes sent/received, rather than creating multiple
separate records for every webpage load/ssh command interaction/XMPP chat/whatever
else happens to be inactive for more than 15 seconds.
The defense adds consensus parameters to govern the range of timeout values
for sending padding packets, as well as for keeping connections open.
The defense only sends padding when connections are otherwise inactive, and it
does not pad connections used solely for directory traffic at all. By default
it also doesn't pad inter-relay connections.
Statistics on the total padding in the last 24 hours are exported to the
extra-info descriptors.
This change is the only one necessary to allow future versions of
the microdescriptor consensus to replace every 'published' date with
e.g. 2038-01-01 00:00:00; this will save 50-75% in compressed
microdescriptor diff size, which is quite significant.
This commit is a minimal change for 0.2.9; future series will
reduce the use of the 'published' date even more.
Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
