To solve bug 4779, we want to avoid OpenSSL 1.0.0's counter mode.
But Fedora (and maybe others) lie about the actual OpenSSL version,
so we can't trust the header to tell us if it's safe.
Instead, let's do a run-time test to see whether it's safe, and if
not, use our built-in version.
fermenthor contributed a pretty essential fixup to this patch. Thanks!
Previously we required 1.0.0, but there was a bug in the 1.0.0 counter
mode. Found by Pascal. Fixes bug 4779.
A more elegant solution would be good here if somebody has time to code
one.
This shaves about 7% off our per-cell AES crypto time for me; the
effect for accelerated AES crypto should be even more, since the AES
calculation itself will make an even smaller portion of the
counter-mode performance.
(We don't want to do this for pre-1.0.0 OpenSSL, since our AES_CTR
implementation was actually faster than OpenSSL's there, by about
10%.)
Fixes issue #4526.
This thing was pretty pointless on versions of OpenSSL 0.9.8 and later,
and almost totally pointless on OpenSSL 1.0.0.
Also, favor EVP by default, since it lets us get hardware acceleration
where present. (See issue 4442)
The old comment was from before I tried a huge pile of crazy stuff to
make the inner loop faster. Short answer: GCC already knows how to
unroll loops pretty well. Other short answer: we should have made the
relay payload size an even multiple of 4, 8, or ideally 16.
This should make us conflict less with system files named "log.h".
Yes, we shouldn't have been conflicting with those anyway, but some
people's compilers act very oddly.
The actual change was done with one "git mv", by editing
Makefile.am, and running
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs perl -i -pe 'if (/^#include.*\Wlog.h/) {s/log.h/torlog.h/; }'
We used to only zero the first ptrsize bytes of the cipher. Since
cipher is large enough, we didn't zero too many bytes. Discovered
and fixed by ekir. Fixes bug 1254.

Some *_free functions threw asserts when passed NULL. Now all of them
accept NULL as input and perform no action when called that way.
This gains us consistence for our free functions, and allows some
code simplifications where an explicit null check is no longer necessary.
The subversion $Id$ fields made every commit force a rebuild of
whatever file got committed. They were not actually useful for
telling the version of Tor files in the wild.

Re-tune mempool parametes based on testing on peacetime: use smaller chuncks, free them a little more aggressively, and try very hard to concentrate allocations on fuller chunks. Also, lots of new documentation.
svn:r13484
Be more thorough about memory poisoning and clearing. Add an in-place version of aes_crypt in order to remove a memcpy from relay_crypt_one_payload.
svn:r13414
Add a bunch of function documentation; clean up a little code; fix some XXXXs; tag the nonsensical EXTRAINFO_PURPOSE_GENERAL as nonsesnse; note another bit of "do not cache special routers" code to nuke.

Re-optimize counter-mode: save about 15% on my core2 by (1) not regenerating the entire counter buffer every time we encrypt a block of keystream (2) using the platform-optimized htonl to convert to big-endian (It's a single instruction on 486 and later ) and (3) not even keeping a separate "counter" and "buffer" when the platform is big-endian. The third still needs testing.
svn:r11536
Switch our AES implementation from "128 bit counter with to 64 bits set to 0" to a proper implementation of counter mode. Also, add an aes_set_iv function to initialize the counter to a nonzero value.
svn:r11518
try to make aes encryption of cells about 30-40% faster where applicable. offer not available for all architectures or all versions of openssl.
