* The option is now KeepBindCapabilities
* We now warn if the user specifically asked for KeepBindCapabilities
and we can't deliver.
* The unit tests are willing to start.
* Fewer unused-variable warnings.
* More documentation, fewer misspellings.
These functions must really never fail; so have crypto_rand() assert
that it's working okay, and have crypto_seed_rng() demand that
callers check its return value. Also have crypto_seed_rng() check
RAND_status() before returning.
The control port was using set_max_file_descriptors() with a limit set to 0
to query the number of maximum socket Tor can use. With the recent changes
to that function, a check was introduced to make sure a user can not set a
value below the amount we reserved for non socket.
This commit adds get_max_sockets() that returns the value of max_sockets so
we can stop using that "setter" function to get the current value.
Finally, the dead code is removed that is the code that checked for limit
equal to 0. From now on, set_max_file_descriptors() should never be used
with a limit set to 0 for a valid use case.

Also, re-enable the #if'd out condition-variable code.
Work queues are going to make us hack on all of this stuff a bit more
closely, so it might not be a terrible idea to make it easier to hack.
Silence clang warnings under --enable-expensive-hardening, including:
+ implicit truncation of 64 bit values to 32 bit;
+ const char assignment to self;
+ tautological compare; and
+ additional parentheses around equality tests. (gcc uses these to
silence assignment, so clang warns when they're present in an
equality test. But we need to use extra parentheses in macros to
isolate them from other code).
Long ago we supported systems where there was no support for
threads, or where the threading library was broken. We shouldn't
have do that any more: on every OS that matters, threads exist, and
the OS supports running threads across multiple CPUs.
This resolves tickets 9495 and 12439. It's a prerequisite to making
our workqueue code work better, since sensible workqueue
implementations don't split across multiple processes.
(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.)
clang 3.4 introduced a new by-default warning about unused static
functions, which we triggered heavily for the hashtable and map function
generating macros. We can use __attribute__ ((unused)) (thanks nickm for
the suggestion :-) ) to silence these warnings.
We need a weak RNG in a couple of places where the strong RNG is
both needless and too slow. We had been using the weak RNG from our
platform's libc implementation, but that was problematic (because
many platforms have exceptionally horrible weak RNGs -- like, ones
that only return values between 0 and SHORT_MAX) and because we were
using it in a way that was wrong for LCG-based weak RNGs. (We were
counting on the low bits of the LCG output to be as random as the
high ones, which isn't true.)
This patch adds a separate type for a weak RNG, adds an LCG
implementation for it, and uses that exclusively where we had been
using the platform weak RNG.
This is allowed by the C statndard, which permits you to represent
doubles any way you like, but in practice we have some code that
assumes that memset() clears doubles in structs. Noticed as part of
7802 review; see 8081 for more info.
