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.)
By default, after you've made a connection to port XYZ, we assume
you might still want to have an exit ready to connect to XYZ for one
hour. This patch lets you lower that interval.
Implements ticket 91
We log only one message, containing a complete list of what's
wrong. We log the complete list whenever any of the possible things
that could have gotten wrong gets worse.
Fix for #9870. Bugfix on 10480dff01, which we merged in
0.2.5.1-alpha.
(There is no longer meaningfully any such thing as a HS authority,
since we stopped uploading or downloading v0 hs descriptors in
0.2.2.1-alpha.)
Implements #10881, and part of #10841.
I'm doing this because:
* User doesn't mean you're running as root, and running as root
doesn't mean you've set User.
* It's possible that the user has done some other
capability-based hack to retain the necessary privileges.
The remaining vestige is that we continue to publish the V2dir flag,
and that, for the controller, we continue to emit v2 directory
formats when requested.
In 0.2.3.8-alpha we attempted to "completely disable stats if we aren't
running as a relay", but instead disabled them only if we aren't running
as a server.
This commit leaves DirReqStatistics enabled on both relays and bridges,
and disables (Cell,Entry,ExitPort)Statistics on bridges.
We had accidentially grown two fake ones: one for backtrace.c, and one
for sandbox.c. Let's do this properly instead.
Now, when we configure logs, we keep track of fds that should get told
about bad stuff happening from signal handlers. There's another entry
point for these that avoids using non-signal-handler-safe functions.
On platforms with the backtrace/backtrace_symbols_fd interface, Tor
can now dump stack traces on assertion failure. By default, I log
them to DataDir/stack_dump and to stderr.
