There are two reasons this is likeliest to happen -- no kernel
support, and some bug in Tor. We'll ask people to check the former
before they report. Closes 23090.
The chdir() call in RunAsDaemon makes the behavior here surprising,
and either way of trying to resolve the surprise seems sure to
startle a significant fraction of users. Instead, let's refuse to
guess, and refuse these configurations.
Closes ticket 22731.
I'm doing this using the Proxy-Authorization: header to support
clients that understand it, and with a new tor-specific header that
makes more sense for our use.
By convention, a function that frobs a foo_t should be called
foo_frob, and it should have a foo_t * as its first argument. But
for many of the buf_t functions, the buf_t was the final argument,
which is silly.
Our convention is that functions which manipulate a type T should be
named T_foo. But the buffer functions were super old, and followed
all kinds of conventions. Now they're uniform.
Here's the perl I used to do this:
\#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i -p
s/read_to_buf\(/buf_read_from_socket\(/;
s/flush_buf\(/buf_flush_to_socket\(/;
s/read_to_buf_tls\(/buf_read_from_tls\(/;
s/flush_buf_tls\(/buf_flush_to_tls\(/;
s/write_to_buf\(/buf_add\(/;
s/write_to_buf_compress\(/buf_add_compress\(/;
s/move_buf_to_buf\(/buf_move_to_buf\(/;
s/peek_from_buf\(/buf_peek\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf\(/buf_get_bytes\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf_line\(/buf_get_line\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf_line\(/buf_get_line\(/;
s/buf_remove_from_front\(/buf_drain\(/;
s/peek_buf_startswith\(/buf_peek_startswith\(/;
s/assert_buf_ok\(/buf_assert_ok\(/;
This lets us drop the testing-only function buf_get_first_chunk_data(),
and lets us implement proto_http and proto_socks without looking at
buf_t internals.
The service needs the latest SRV and set of relays for the best accurate
hashring to upload its descriptor to so it needs a live consensus thus don't
do anything until we have it.

When merging #20657, somehow hs_service_dir_info_changed() became unused
leading to not use the re-upload to HSDir when we were missing information
feature.
Turns out that it is not possible to pick an HSDir with a missing descriptor
because in order to compute the HSDir index, the descriptor is mandatory to
have so we can know its position on the hashring.
This commit removes that dead feature and fix the
hs_service_dir_info_changed() not being used.

Based on questions and comments from dgoulet, I've tried to fill
in the reasoning about why these functions work in the way that they
do, so that it will be easier for future programmers to understand
why this code exists and works the way it does.
