Imagine this scenario. We had 10 connections over the 24h lifetime of a geoip
cache entry. The lifetime of the entry has been reached so it is about to get
freed but 2 connections remain for it. After the free, a third connection
comes in thus making us create a new geoip entry for that address matching the
2 previous ones that are still alive. If they end up being closed, we'll have
a concurrent count desynch from what the reality is.
To mitigate this probably very rare scenario in practice, when we free a geoip
entry and it has a concurrent count above 0, we'll go over all connections
matching the address and clear out the tracked flag. So once they are closed,
we don't try to decrement the count.

This option refuses any ESTABLISH_RENDEZVOUS cell arriving from a client
connection. Its default value is "auto" for which we can turn it on or off
with a consensus parameter. Default value is 0.

If the client address was detected as malicious, apply a defense which is at
this commit to return a DESTROY cell.

Add a function that notifies the DoS subsystem that a new CREATE cell has
arrived. The statistics are updated accordingly and the IP address can also be
marked as malicious if it is above threshold.
At this commit, no defense is applied, just detection with a circuit creation
token bucket system.

Implement a basic connection tracking that counts the number of concurrent
connections when they open and close.
This commit also adds the circuit creation mitigation data structure that will
be needed at later commit to keep track of the circuit rate.

This commit introduces the src/or/dos.{c|h} files that contains the code for
the Denial of Service mitigation subsystem. It currently contains basic
functions to initialize and free the subsystem. They are used at this commit.
The torrc options and consensus parameters are defined at this commit and
getters are implemented.

The upcoming DoS mitigation subsytem needs to keep information on a per-IP
basis which is also what the geoip clientmap does.
For another subsystem to access that clientmap, this commit adds a lookup
function that returns the entry. For this, the clientmap_entry_t had to be
moved to the header file.

Fix an "off by 2" error in counting rendezvous failures on the onion
service side.
While we thought we would stop the rendezvous attempt after one failed
circuit, we were actually making three circuit attempts before giving up.
Fixes bug 24895; bugfix on 0.0.6.
When the fascist_firewall_choose_address_ functions don't find a
reachable address, set the returned address to the null address and port.
This is a precautionary measure, because some callers do not check the
return value.
Fixes bug 24736; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
This makes clients on the public tor network prefer to bootstrap off fallback
directory mirrors.
This is a follow-up to 24679, which removed weights from the default fallbacks.
Implements ticket 24681.
We've been seeing problems with destroy cells queues taking up a
huge amount of RAM. We can mitigate this, since while a full packed
destroy cell takes 514 bytes, we only need 5 bytes to remember a
circuit ID and a reason.
Fixes bug 24666. Bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha, when destroy cell queues
were introduced.
TROVE-2017-12. Severity: Medium
When choosing a random node for a circuit, directly use our router
descriptor to exclude ourself instead of the one in the global
descriptor list. That list could be empty because tor could be
downloading them which could lead to not excluding ourself.
Closes#21534
TROVE-2017-13. Severity: High.
In the unlikely case that a hidden service could be missing intro circuit(s),
that it didn't have enough directory information to open new circuits and that
an intro point was about to expire, a use-after-free is possible because of
the intro point object being both in the retry list and expiring list at the
same time.
The intro object would get freed after the circuit failed to open and then
access a second time when cleaned up from the expiring list.
