Thanks to the changes we started making with SocksPort and friends
in 0.2.3.3-alpha, any of our code that did "if (options->Sockport)"
became wrong, since "SocksPort 0" would make that test true whereas
using the default SocksPort value would make it false. (We didn't
actually do "if (options->SockPort)" but we did have tests for
TransPort. When we moved DirPort, ORPort, and ControlPort over to
the same system in 0.2.3.9-alpha, the problem got worse, since our
code is littered with checks for DirPort and ORPort as booleans.
This code renames the current linelist-based FooPort options to
FooPort_lines, and adds new FooPort_set options which get set at
parse-and-validate time on the or_options_t. FooPort_set is true
iff we will actually try to open a listener of the given type. (I
renamed the FooPort options rather than leave them alone so that
every previous user of a FooPort would need to get inspected, and so
that any new code that forgetfully uses FooPort will need fail to
compile.)
Fix for bug 6507.
I don't personally agree that this is likely to be easy to exploit,
and some initial experimention I've done suggests that cache-miss
times are just plain too fast to get useful info out of when they're
mixed up with the rest of Tor's timing noise. Nevertheless, I'm
leaving Robert's initial changelog entry in the git history so that he
can be the voice of reason if I'm wrong. :)
This is based on a pair of patches from A. Costa. I couldn't apply
those directly, since they changed the generated *roff files, not
the asciidoc source.
Fixes Tor bug 6500 and Debian bug 683359.
I only check on circuits, not streams, since bloating your stream
window past the initial circuit window can't help you much.
Also, I compare to CIRCWINDOW_START_MAX so we don't have surprising
races if we lower CIRCWINDOW_START for an experiment.
The SMARTLIST_FOREACH macro is more convenient than BEGIN/END when
you have a nice short loop body, but using it for long bodies makes
your preprocessor tell the compiler that all the code is on the same
line. That causes grief, since compiler warnings and debugger lines
will all refer to that one line.
So, here's a new style rule: SMARTLIST_FOREACH blocks need to be
short.
This could result in bizarre window values. Report and patch
contributed pseudymously. Fixes part of bug 6271. This bug was
introduced before the first Tor release, in svn commit r152.

This reverts commit c32ec9c425.
It turns out the two sides of the circuit don't actually stay in sync,
so it is perfectly normal for the circuit window on the exit relay to
grow to 2000+. We should fix that bug and then reconsider this patch.
