This will fix the warning
"/src/or/config.c:6854:48: error: unused parameter 'group_readable'"
that I introduced while fixing 12864.
Bug not in any released version of Tor.
When we merged the cookieauthfile creation logic in 33c3e60a37, we
accidentally took out this feature. Fixes bug 12864, bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha.
Also adds an ExtORPortCookieAuthFileGroupReadable, since there's no
reason not to.
Authorities now assign the Guard flag to the fastest 25% of the
network (it used to be the fastest 50%). Also raise the consensus
weight that guarantees the Guard flag from 250 to 2000. For the
current network, this results in about 1100 guards, down from 2500.
This step paves the way for moving the number of entry guards
down to 1 (proposal 236) while still providing reasonable expected
performance for most users.
Implements ticket 12690.
Otherwise, it always seems as though our Exclude* options have
changed, since we're comparing modified to unmodified values.
Patch from qwerty1. Fixes bug 9801. Bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha, where
GeoIPExcludeUnknown was introduced.
None of the things we might exec() can possibly run under the
sanbox, so rather than crash later, we have to refuse to accept the
configuration nice and early.
The longer-term solution is to have an exec() helper, but wow is
that risky.
fixes 12043; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha
on #9686, gmorehose reports that the 500 MB lower limit is too high
for raspberry pi users.
This is a backport of 647248729f to 0.2.4.
Note that in 0.2.4, the option is called MaxMemInCellQueues.
If we can't detect the physical memory, the new default is 8 GB on
64-bit architectures, and 1 GB on 32-bit architectures.
If we *can* detect the physical memory, the new default is
CLAMP(256 MB, phys_mem * 0.75, MAX_DFLT)
where MAX_DFLT is 8 GB on 64-bit architectures and 2 GB on 32-bit
architectures.
You can still override the default by hand. The logic here is simply
trying to choose a lower default value on systems with less than 12 GB
of physical RAM.
This means that tor can run without needing to communicate with ioctls
to the firewall, and therefore doesn't need to run with privileges to
open the /dev/pf device node.
A new TransProxyType is added for this purpose, "pf-divert"; if the user
specifies this TransProxyType in their torrc, then the pf device node is
never opened and the connection destination is determined with getsockname
(as per pf(4)). The default behaviour (ie., when TransProxyType is "default"
when using the pf firewall) is still to assume that pf is configured with
rdr-to rules.
This isn't on by default; to get it, you need to set "TransProxyType
ipfw". (The original patch had automatic detection for whether
/dev/pf is present and openable, but that seems marginally fragile.)
(If we don't restrict rename, there's not much point in restricting
open, since an attacker could always use rename to make us open
whatever they want.)
A new set of unit test cases are provided, as well as introducing
an alternative paradigm and macros to support it. Primarily, each test
case is given its own namespace, in order to isolate tests from each
other. We do this by in the usual fashion, by appending module and
submodule names to our symbols. New macros assist by reducing friction
for this and other tasks, like overriding a function in the global
namespace with one in the current namespace, or declaring integer
variables to assist tracking how many times a mock has been called.
A set of tests for a small-scale module has been included in this
commit, in order to highlight how the paradigm can be used. This
suite gives 100% coverage to status.c in test execution.
