A v0 HS authority stores v0 HS descriptors in the same descriptor
cache that its HS client functionality uses. Thus, if the HS
authority operator clears its client HS descriptor cache, ALL v0
HS descriptors will be lost. That would be bad.
These functions can return NULL for otherwise-valid values of
time_t. Notably, the glibc gmtime manpage says it can return NULL
if the year if greater than INT_MAX, and the windows MSDN gmtime
page says it can return NULL for negative time_t values.
Also, our formatting code is not guaranteed to correctly handle
years after 9999 CE.
This patch tries to correct this by detecting NULL values from
gmtime/localtime_r, and trying to clip them to a reasonable end of
the scale. If they are in the middle of the scale, we call it a
downright error.
Arguably, it's a bug to get out-of-bounds dates like this to begin
with. But we've had bugs of this kind in the past, and warning when
we see a bug is much kinder than doing a NULL-pointer dereference.
Boboper found this one too.
Previously, it would remove every trackhostexits-derived mapping
*from* xyz.<exitname>.exit; it was supposed to remove every
trackhostexits-derived mapping *to* xyz.<exitname>.exit.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc: fixes an XXX020 added while staring at bug-1090
issues.
This once maybe made sense when ExitNodes meant "Here are 3 exits;
use them all", but now it more typically means "Here are 3
countries; exit from there." Using non-Fast/Stable exits created a
potential partitioning opportunity and an annoying stability
problem.
(Don't worry about the case where all of our ExitNodes are non-Fast
or non-Stable: we handle that later in the function by retrying with
need_capacity and need_uptime set to 0.)
The last entry of the *Maxima values in the state file was inflated by a
factor of NUM_SECS_ROLLING_MEASURE (currently 10). This could lead to
a wrong maximum value propagating through the state file history.
When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
average value to each second.
This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.
Some tor relays would report lines like these in their extrainfo
documents:
dirreq-write-history 2011-03-14 16:46:44 (900 s)
This was confusing to some people who look at the stats. It would happen
whenever a relay first starts up, or when a relay has dirport disabled.
Change this so that lines without actual bw entries are omitted.
Implements ticket 2497.
While doing so, get rid of the now unnecessary function
control_signal_act().
Fixes bug 2917, reported by Robert Ransom. Bugfix on commit
9b4aa8d2ab. This patch is loosely based on
a patch by Robert (Changelog entry).
Instead of answering GETINFO requests about our geoip usage only after
running for 24 hours, this patch makes us answer GETINFO requests
immediately. We still round and quantize as before.
Implements bug2711.
Also, refactor the heck out of the bridge usage formatting code. No
longer should we need to do a generate-parse-and-regenerate cycle to
get the controller string, and that lets us simplify the code a lot.
We've got millisecond timers now, we might as well use them.
This change won't actually make circuits get expiered with microsecond
precision, since we only call the expiry functions once per second.
Still, it should avoid the situation where we have a circuit get
expired too early because of rounding.
A couple of the expiry functions now call tor_gettimeofday: this
should be cheap since we're only doing it once per second. If it gets
to be called more often, though, we should onsider having the current
time be an argument again.
