(To ensure correctness, in every case, make sure that the temporary
variable is deleted, renamed, or lowered in scope, so we can't have
any bugs related to accidentally relying on the no-longer-filled
variable.)
Only write a bridge-stats string if bridge stats have been
initialized. This behavior is similar to dirreq-stats, entry-stats,
etc.
Also add a few unit tests for the bridge-stats code.
This patch separates the generation of a dirreq-stats string from
actually writing it to disk. The new geoip_format_dirreq_stats()
generates a dirreq-stats string that geoip_dirreq_stats_write() writes
to disk. All the state changing (e.g., resetting the dirreq-stats
history and initializing the next measurement interval) takes place in
geoip_dirreq_stats_write(). That allows us to finally test the
dirreq-stats code better.
Right now, we append statistics to files in the stats/ directory for
half of the statistics, whereas we overwrite these files for the other
half. In particular, we append buffer, dirreq, and entry stats and
overwrite exit, connection, and bridge stats.
Appending to files was useful when we didn't include stats in extra-info
descriptors, because otherwise we'd have to copy them away to prevent
Tor from overwriting them.
But now that we include statistics in extra-info descriptors, it makes
no sense to keep the old statistics forever. We should change the
behavior to overwriting instead of appending for all statistics.
Implements #2930.
For some inexplicable reason, Coverity departs from its usual
standards of avoiding false positives here, and warns about all
sscanf usage, even when the formatting strings are totally safe.
Addresses CID # 447, 446.
This lets us make a lot of other stuff const, allows the compiler to
generate (slightly) better code, and will make me get slightly fewer
patches from folks who stick mutable stuff into or_options_t.
const: because not every input is an output!
Original message from bug3393:
check_private_dir() to ensure that ControlSocketsGroupWritable is
safe to use. Unfortunately, check_private_dir() only checks against
the currently running user… which can be root until privileges are
dropped to the user and group configured by the User config option.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding a new effective_user
argument to check_private_dir() and updating the callers. It might
not be the best way to fix the issue, but it did in my tests.

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.
With this patch we stop scheduling when we should write statistics using a
single timestamp in run_scheduled_events(). Instead, we remember when a
statistics interval starts separately for each statistic type in geoip.c
and rephist.c. Every time run_scheduled_events() tries to write stats to
disk, it learns when it should schedule the next such attempt.
This patch also enables all statistics to be stopped and restarted at a
later time.
This patch comes with a few refactorings, some of which were not easily
doable without the patch.
We already had the country code ?? indicating an unknown country, so all we
needed to do to make unknown countries excludable was to make the ?? code
discoverable.
The next series of commits begins addressing the issue that we're
currently including the complete or.h file in all of our source files.
To change that, we're splitting function definitions into new header
files (one header file per source file).
Right now it says "552 internal error" because there's no way for
getinfo_helper_*() countries to specify an error message. This
patch changes the getinfo_helper_*() interface, and makes most of the
getinfo helpers give useful error messages in response to failures.
This should prevent recurrences of bug 1699, where a missing GeoIPFile
line in the torrc made GETINFO ip-to-county/* fail in a "not obvious
how to fix" way.
