Re-tune mempool parametes based on testing on peacetime: use smaller chuncks, free them a little more aggressively, and try very hard to concentrate allocations on fuller chunks. Also, lots of new documentation.
svn:r13484
Add a couple of (currently disabled) strategies for trying to avoid using too much ram in memory pools: prefer putting new cells in almost-full chunks, and be willing to free the last empty chunk if we have not needed it for a while. Also add better output to mp_pool_log_status to track how many mallocs a given memory pool strategy is saving us, so we can tune the mempool parameters.
svn:r13428
As planned, rename networkstatus_vote_t to networkstatus_t, now that v3 networkstatuses are working and standard and v2 networkstatuses are obsolete.
svn:r13383
Push the strdups used for parsing configuration lines into parse_line_from_string(). This will make it easier to parse more complex value formats, which in turn will help fix bug 557
svn:r13020
Fix bug 575: protect the list of logs with a mutex. I couldn't find any appreciable change in logging performance on osx, but ymmv. You can undef USE_LOG_MUTEX to see if stuff gets faster for you.
svn:r13019
Use reference-counting to avoid allocating a zillion little addr_policy_t objects. (This is an old patch that had been sitting on my hard drive for a while.)

Here, have some terribly clever new buffer code. It uses a mbuf-like strategy rather than a ring buffer strategy, so it should require far far less extra memory to hold any given amount of data. Also, it avoids access patterns like x=malloc(1024);x=realloc(x,1048576);x=realloc(x,1024);append_to_freelist(x) that might have been contributing to memory fragmentation. I've tested it out a little on peacetime, and it seems to work so far. If you want to benchmark it for speed, make sure to remove the #define PARANOIA; #define NOINLINE macros at the head of the module.

Change tor_addr_t to be a tagged union of in_addr and in6_addr, not of sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6. It's hardly used in the main code as it is, but let's get it right before it gets popular.
svn:r12660
relay's public (external) IP address too, unless
ExitPolicyRejectPrivate is turned off. We do this because too
many relays are running nearby to services that trust them based
on network address.

oprofile was telling me that a fair bit of our time in openssl was spent in base64_decode, so replace base64_decode with an all-at-once fairly optimized implementation. For decoding keys and digests, it seems 3-3.5x faster than calling out to openssl. (Yes, I wrote it from scratch.)
svn:r12002
Make unverified-consensus get removed when it is accepted or rejected. Make a new get_datadir_fname*() set of functions to eliminate the common code of "get the options, get the datadir, append some stuff".
svn:r12000
More annotated-store work: handle annotations in lists correctly. Add ability to prepend annotations to a routerdesc (and to every rtouredesc in a list), while verifying that the routerdesc is not already annotated.
svn:r11665
Backend for descriptor annotations: parse annotations as keywords; only allow them to appear in the cache; do not serve them as part of the descriptor if we are a dirserver. Still need mechanism to set annotations. Still need to rename cache file.
svn:r11654
BandwidthRate, RelayBandwidthRate, or MaxAdvertisedBandwidth
were below a threshold. Now they only look at BandwidthRate and
RelayBandwidthRate.
svn:r11465
Remove some needless complexity from the code to add signatures to a consensus: previously, we had a path to add new signatures, and a second path to replace signatures. But the second path sufficed as a common case, and the code isn't invoked nearly enough to justify the optimization of having the first path.
svn:r11433
Make controllers accept LF as well as CRLF. Update spec to reflect this. Remove now-dead code. Make controller warning about v0 protocol more accurate.
svn:r11299
Long overdue test.c refactoring: add --warn/--notice/--info/--debug command line options to set logging levels, and let the user specify which tests to run from the commmand line.
svn:r11167
Fix consensus signatures: regenerate the entire signature list when we get a new signature, rather than just appending the new signature. This lets us tentatively accept weird signatures, since we can replace them with better ones later.
svn:r11122
Another patch from croup: drop support for address masks that do not correspond to bit prefixes. Nobody has used this for a while, and we have given warnings for a long time.
svn:r10881
Sun CC likes to give warnings for the do { } while(0) construction for making statement-like macros. Define STMT_BEGIN/STMT_END macros that do the right thing, and use them everywhere.
svn:r10645
Build with fewer compiler warnings on Sun. (This and previous Sun patches are thanks to the tremendously handy services of unix-center.net.)
svn:r10644
Oops. Different inet_ntop implementations seem to differ on whether, in an IPv6 address with a single "0" word, that word should be written as 0, or omitted. Fix the unit tests to account for that.
svn:r10432
Add math functions to round values to the nearest power of 2. Make mempools more careful about making sure that the size of their chunks is a little less than a power of 2, not a little more.
svn:r10304
Initial version of code to stop using socket pairs for linked connections. Superficially, it seems to work, but it probably needs a lot more testing and attention.
