On busy servers, this function takes up something like 3-7% in
different profiles, and gets invoked every time we need to participate
as the midpoint in a hidden service.
So maybe walking through a linked list of all the circuits here wasn't
a good idea.
The latest GeoLite2 database includes a pointer from 2001::/32 to the root
node of the IPv4 address space in the tree. We need to exclude this whole
address space from geoip6, similar to how we exclude IPv4-mapped IPv6
addresses and the 6to4 mapping subnet.
We log only one message, containing a complete list of what's
wrong. We log the complete list whenever any of the possible things
that could have gotten wrong gets worse.
Fix for #9870. Bugfix on 10480dff01, which we merged in
0.2.5.1-alpha.
If you had a resolv.conf file with a nameserver line containing no
nameserver IP, we would crash. That's not terrible, but it's not
desirable.
Fixes bug 8788; bugfix on 0.1.1.23. Libevent already has this fix.
This patch splits out some of the functions in OOM handling so that
it's easier to check them without involving the rest of Tor or
requiring that the circuits be "wired up".
It's increasingly apparent that we want to make sure we initialize our
PRNG nice and early, or else OpenSSL will do it for us. (OpenSSL
doesn't do _too_ bad a job, but it's nice to do it ourselves.)
We'll also need this for making sure we initialize the siphash key
before we do any hashes.
I've made an exception for cases where I'm sure that users can't
influence the inputs. This is likely to cause a slowdown somewhere,
but it's safer to siphash everything and *then* look for cases to
optimize.
This patch doesn't actually get us any _benefit_ from siphash yet,
since we don't really randomize the key at any point.
siphash is a hash function designed for producing hard-to-predict
64-bit outputs from short inputs and a 128-bit key. It's chosen for
security and speed.
See https://131002.net/siphash/ for more information on siphash.

This is a bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta, because 6b83b3b made directory
authorities remove themselves from the list of directory authorities to
upload to, but didn't suppress the warning in case they're the only
directory authority in the network.
(There is no longer meaningfully any such thing as a HS authority,
since we stopped uploading or downloading v0 hs descriptors in
0.2.2.1-alpha.)
Implements #10881, and part of #10841.
