The two statistics are:
1. number of RELAY cells observed on successfully established
rendezvous circuits; and
2. number of .onion addresses observed as hidden-service
directory.
Both statistics are accumulated over 24 hours, obfuscated by rounding
up to the next multiple of a given number and adding random noise,
and written to local file stats/hidserv-stats.
Notably, no statistics will be gathered on clients or services, but
only on relays.
In circuit_get_open_circ_or_launch(), for a rendezvous circuit,
rend_client_rendcirc_has_opened() but circuit_has_opened() is preferred here
since it will call the right function for a specific circuit purpose.
Furthermore, a controller event is triggered where the former did not.

1) Set them to the values that (according to Rob) avoided performance
regressions. This means that the scheduler won't get much exercise
until we implement KIST or something like it.
2) Rename the options to end with a __, since I think they might be
going away, and nobody should mess with them.
3) Use the correct types for the option variables. MEMUNIT needs to be a
uint64_t; UINT needs to be (I know, I know!) an int.
4) Validate the values in options_validate(); do the switch in
options_act(). This way, setting the option to an invalid value on
a running Tor will get backed out.
We add a compression level argument to tor_zlib_new, and use it to
determine how much memory to allocate for the zlib object. We use the
existing level by default, but shift to smaller levels for small
requests when we have been over 3/4 of our memory usage in the past
half-hour.
Closes ticket 11791.
When closing parallel introduction points, the given reason (timeout)
was actually changed to "no reason" thus when the circuit purpose was
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCE_ACK_WAIT, we were reporting an introduction
point failure and flagging it "unreachable". After three times, that
intro point gets removed from the rend cache object.
In the case of CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCING, the intro point was
flagged has "timed out" and thus not used until the connection to the HS
is closed where that flag gets reset.
This commit adds an internal circuit reason called
END_CIRC_REASON_IP_NOW_REDUNDANT which tells the closing circuit
mechanism to not report any intro point failure.
This has been observed while opening hundreds of connections to an HS on
different circuit for each connection. This fix makes this use case to
work like a charm.

This is meant to prevent memory corruption bugs from doing
unspeakable infinite-loop-like things to the hashtables. Addresses
ticket 11737. We should disable these if they turn out to be
expensive.
We were only using it when smartlist_choose_node_by_bandwidth_weights
failed. But that function could only fail in the presence of
buggy/ancient authorities or in the absence of a consensus. Either
way, it's better to use sensible defaults and a nicer algorithm.
Now, if a router ever changes its microdescriptor, but the new
microdescriptor SHA256 hash has the same 160-bit prefix as the old
one, we treat it as a new microdescriptor when deciding whether to
copy status information.
(This function also is used to compare SHA1 digests of router
descriptors, but don't worry: the descriptor_digest field either holds
a SHA256 hash, or a SHA1 hash padded with 0 bytes.)
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).
By now, support in the network is widespread and it's time to require
more modern crypto on all Tor instances, whether they're clients or
servers. By doing this early in 0.2.6, we can be sure that at some point
all clients will have reasonable support.
Ensure we securely wipe keys from memory after
crypto_digest_get_digest and init_curve25519_keypair_from_file
have finished using them.

Fixes bug 13476.
Also, refactor the way we handle failed handshakes so that this
warning doesn't propagate itself to "onion_skin_client_handshake
failed" and "circuit_finish_handshake failed" and
"connection_edge_process_relay_cell (at origin) failed."
Resolves warning from 9635.
1. The test that adds things to the cache needs to set the clock back so
that the descriptors it adds are valid.
2. We split ROUTER_NOT_NEW into ROUTER_TOO_OLD, so that we can
distinguish "already had it" from "rejected because of old published
date".
3. We make extrainfo_insert() return a was_router_added_t, and we
make its caller use it correctly. This is probably redundant with
the extrainfo_is_bogus flag.
We didn't really have test coverage for these parsing functions, so
I went and made some. These tests also verify that the parsing
functions set the list of invalid digests correctly.
One pain point in evolving the Tor design and implementing has been
adding code that makes clients reject directory documents that they
previously would have accepted, if those descriptors actually exist.
When this happened, the clients would get the document, reject it,
and then decide to try downloading it again, ad infinitum. This
problem becomes particularly obnoxious with authorities, since if
some authorities accept a descriptor that others don't, the ones
that don't accept it would go crazy trying to re-fetch it over and
over. (See for example ticket #9286.)
This patch tries to solve this problem by tracking, if a descriptor
isn't parseable, what its digest was, and whether it is invalid
because of some flaw that applies to the portion containing the
digest. (This excludes RSA signature problems: RSA signatures
aren't included in the digest. This means that a directory
authority can still put another directory authority into a loop by
mentioning a descriptor, and then serving that descriptor with an
invalid RSA signatures. But that would also make the misbehaving
directory authority get DoSed by the server it's attacking, so it's
not much of an issue.)
We already have a mechanism to mark something undownloadable with
downloadstatus_mark_impossible(); we use that here for
microdescriptors, extrainfos, and router descriptors.
Unit tests to follow in another patch.
Closes ticket #11243.
Fix an instance of integer overflow in format_time_interval() when
taking the absolute value of the supplied signed interval value.

Create unit tests for format_time_interval().
Bitwise check for the BRIDGE_DIRINFO flag, rather than checking for
equality.
Fixes a (potential) bug where directories offering BRIDGE_DIRINFO,
and some other flag (i.e. microdescriptors or extrainfo),
would be ignored when looking for bridge directories.
Final fix in series for bug 13163.
Document usage of the NO_DIRINFO and ALL_DIRINFO flags clearly in functions
which take them as arguments. Replace 0 with NO_DIRINFO in a function call
for clarity.
Seeks to prevent future issues like 13163.
Stop using the default authorities in networks which provide both
AlternateDirAuthority and AlternateBridgeAuthority.
This bug occurred due to an ambiguity around the use of NO_DIRINFO.
(Does it mean "any" or "none"?)
Partially fixes bug 13163.
Preserve previous semantics of src/test/test-network.sh by exiting with
the exit status of chutney verify, even though the latest version ends
with chutney stop.
If (GNU) Make 3.81 is running processes in parallel using -j2 (or more),
it waits until all descendent processes have exited before it returns to
the shell.
When a command like "make -j2 test-network" is run, this means that
test-network.sh apparently hangs until it either make is forcibly
terminated, or all the chutney-launched tor processes have exited.
A workaround is to use make without -j, or make -j1 if there is an
existing alias to "make -jn" in the shell.
We resolve this bug in tor by using "chutney stop" after "chutney verify"
in test-network.sh.
Cases that now send errors:
* Malformed IP address (SOCKS5_GENERAL_ERROR)
* CONNECT/RESOLVE request with IP, when SafeSocks is set
(SOCKS5_NOT_ALLOWED)
* RESOLVE_PTR request with FQDN (SOCKS5_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED)
* Malformed FQDN (SOCKS5_GENERAL_ERROR)
* Unknown address type (SOCKS5_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED)
Fixes bug 13314.
Add a --delay option to test-network.sh, which configures the delay before
the chutney network tests for data transmission. The default remains at
18 seconds if the argument isn't specified.
Apparently we should be using bootstrap status for this (eventually).
Partially implements ticket 13161.
The default shell on OS X is bash, which has a builtin echo. When called

Add the TestingDirAuthVoteExit option, a list of nodes to vote Exit for,
regardless of their uptime, bandwidth, or exit policy.
TestingTorNetwork must be set for this option to have any effect.
Works around an issue where authorities would take up to 35 minutes to
give nodes the Exit flag in a test network, despite short consensus
intervals. Partially implements ticket 13161.
Otherwise, when we authority try to do a self-test because of
init-keys, if that self-test can't be launched for whatever reason and
so we close the channel immediately, we crash.
Yes, this a silly way for initialization to work.
Fixes bug 13295; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
The alternative here is to call crypto_global_init() from tor-resolve,
but let's avoid linking openssl into tor-resolve for as long as we
can.
When a spawned process forks, fails, then exits very quickly, (this
typically occurs when exec fails), there is a race condition between the
SIGCHLD handler updating the process_handle's fields, and checking the
process status in those fields. The update can occur before or after the
spawn tests check the process status.
We check whether the process is running or not running (rather than just
checking if it is running) to avoid this issue.
In circuit_build_times_calculate_timeout() in circuitstats.c, avoid dividing
by zero in the pareto calculations.
If either the alpha or p parameters are 0, we would divide by zero, yielding
an infinite result; which would be clamped to INT32_MAX anyway. So rather
than dividing by zero, we just skip the offending calculation(s), and
use INT32_MAX for the result.
Division by zero traps under clang -fsanitize=undefined-trap -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error.
Avoid 4 null pointer errors under clang shallow analysis (the default when
building under Xcode) by using tor_assert() to prove that the pointers

This helps us avoid undefined behavior. It's based on a patch from teor,
except that I wrote a perl script to regenerate the patch:

%vartypes = ();
}
if (/^ *crypto_int(\d+) +([a-zA-Z_][_a-zA-Z0-9]*)/) {
$vartypes{$2} = $1;
} elsif (/^ *(?:signed +)char +([a-zA-Z_][_a-zA-Z0-9]*)/) {
$vartypes{$1} = '8';
}
# This fixes at most one shift per line. But that's all the code does.
if (/([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*) *<< *(\d+)/) {
$v = $1;
if (exists $vartypes{$v}) {
s/$v *<< *(\d+)/SHL$vartypes{$v}($v,$1)/;
}
}
# remove extra parenthesis

s/\(SHL8\((.*)\)\)/SHL8\($1\)/;
There are some loops of the form
for (i=1;i<1;++i) ...
And of course, if the loop index is initialized to 1, it will never
be less than 1, and the loop body will never be executed. This
upsets coverity.

Also, use it to generate test vectors, and add those test vectors

This is based on ed25519.py from the ed25519 webpage; the kludgy hacks
are my own.
This implementation allows somebody to add a blinding factor to a
secret key, and a corresponding blinding factor to the public key.
Robert Ransom came up with this idea, I believe. Nick Hopper proved a
scheme like this secure. The bugs are my own.
For proposal 228, we need to cross-certify our identity with our
curve25519 key, so that we can prove at descriptor-generation time
that we own that key. But how can we sign something with a key that
is only for doing Diffie-Hellman? By converting it to the
corresponding ed25519 point.
See the ALL-CAPS warning in the documentation. According to djb
(IIUC), it is safe to use these keys in the ways that ntor and prop228
are using them, but it might not be safe if we start providing crazy
oracle access.
(Unit tests included. What kind of a monster do you take me for?)
This is another case where DJB likes sticking the whole signature
prepended to the message, and I don't think that's the hottest idea.
The unit tests still pass.
This reduces the likelihood that I have made any exploitable errors
in the encoding/decoding.
This commit also imports the trunnel runtime source into Tor.
Uses libscrypt when found; otherwise, we don't have scrypt and we

Since address.c is the first file to get compiled, let's have it use

Allow clients to use optimistic data when connecting to a hidden service,
which should cut out the initial round-trip for client-side programs
including Tor Browser.
(Now that Tor 0.2.2.x is obsolete, all hidden services should support
server-side optimistic data.)
See proposal 181 for details. Implements ticket 13211.
Clients are now willing to send optimistic circuit data (before they
receive a 'connected' cell) to relays of any version. We used to
only do it for relays running 0.2.3.1-alpha or later, but now all
relays are new enough.

Stop modifying the value of our DirReqStatistics torrc option just
because we're not a bridge or relay. This bug was causing Tor
Browser users to write "DirReqStatistics 0" in their torrc files
as if they had chosen to change the config.
Fixes bug 4244; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous point
when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send the wrong
address, which would still work some of the time because they also
sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if the hidden
service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous point from a relay
that already had a connection open to it, the relay would reuse that
connection. Now connections to hidden services should be more robust
and faster. Also, this bug meant that clients were leaking to the hidden
service whether they were on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare)
system, which for some users might have reduced their anonymity.
Fixes bug 13151; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
These wrappers went into place when the default type for our unit
test functions changed from "void fn(void)" to "void fn(void *arg)".
To generate this patch, I did the same hokey-pokey as before with
replacing all operators used as macro arguments, then I ran a
coccinelle script, then I ran perl script to fix up everything that

legacy_test_helper functions, then I ran a final perl script to put
the operators back how they were.

Otherwise, when we're out of input *and* finalizing, we might report
TOR_ZLIB_OK erroneously and not finalize the buffer.
(I don't believe this can happen in practice, with our code today:
write_to_buf_zlib ensures that we are never trying to write into a
completely empty buffer, and zlib says "Z_OK" if you give it even
one byte to write into.)

Closes ticket #11144
This implements a feature from bug 13000. Instead of starting a bwauth
run with this wrong idea about their bw, relays should do the self-test
and then get measured.
When a tor relay starts up and has no historical information about its
bandwidth capability, it uploads a descriptor with a bw estimate of 0.
It then starts its bw selftest, but has to wait 20 minutes to upload the
next descriptor due to the MAX_BANDWIDTH_CHANGE_FREQ delay. This change
should mean that on average, relays start seeing meaningful traffic a
little quicker, since they will have a higher chance to appear in the
consensus with a nonzero bw.
Patch by Roger, changes file and comment by Sebastian.
We're calling mallocfn() and reallocfn() in the HT_GENERATE macro
with the result of a product. But that makes any sane analyzer
worry about overflow.
This patch keeps HT_GENERATE having its old semantics, since we
aren't the only project using ht.h. Instead, define a HT_GENERATE2
that takes a reallocarrayfn.
Most of these are in somewhat non-obvious code where it is probably
a good idea to initialize variables and add extra assertions anyway.

The fix for bug 4647 accidentally removed our hack from bug 586 that

it appears on the commandline (which allowed the user to set her own
HashedControlPassword in the torrc file while the controller generates
a fresh session password for each run).

This way, we don't get locking failures when we hit an assertion in
the unit tests. Also, we might find out about unit test bugs from
folks who can't do gdb.
We might use libsodium or ed25519-donna later on, but for now, let's
see whether this is fast enough. We should use it in all cases when
performance doesn't matter.
This modifies the format of the bridge networkstatus documents produced
by the BridgeAuth. The new format adds a `published` line to the header
of the file, before the `flag-thresholds` line. This is done once per
networkstatus file that is written. The timestamp in the `published`
line is the standard ISO 8601 format (with a space as the separator)
used throughout the rest of tor.

Using the *_array() functions here confused coverity, and was actually
a bit longer than we needed. Now we just use macros for the repeated
bits, so that we can mention a file and a suffix-appended version in
one line.
We had some code to fix up the 'status' return value to -1 on error
if it wasn't set, but it was unreachable because our code was
correct. Tweak this by initializing status to -1, and then only
setting it to 0 on success. Also add a goto which was missing: its
absence was harmless.

Previously, we had documented it to return -1 or 0, when in fact
lseek returns -1 or the new position in the file.
This is harmless, since we were only checking for negative values
when we used tor_fd_seekend.
Two bugs here:
1) We didn't add EXTEND2/EXTENDED2 to relay_command_to_string().
2) relay_command_to_string() didn't log the value of unrecognized

Bug not in any released version of Tor.
Implements proposal 215; closes ticket 10163.
Why? From proposal 215:
Consensus method 1 is no longer viable for the Tor network. It
doesn't result in a microdescriptor consensus, and omits other
fields that clients need in order to work well. Consensus methods
under 12 have security issues, since they let a single authority
set a consensus parameter.
...
For example, while Tor 0.2.4.x is under development, authorities
should really not be running anything before Tor 0.2.3.x. Tor
0.2.3.x has supported consensus method 13 since 0.2.3.21-rc, so
it's okay for 0.2.4.x to require 13 as the minimum method. We even
might go back to method 12, since the worst outcome of not using 13
would be some warnings in client logs. Consensus method 12 was a
security improvement, so we don't want to roll back before that.
