Commit e67f4441eb introduced a safeguard against
using an uninitialized voting schedule object. However, the dirvote_act() code
was looking roughly at the same thing to know if it had to compute the timings
before voting with this condition:
if (!voting_schedule.voting_starts) {
...
dirvote_recalculate_timing(options, now);
}
The sr_init() function is called very early and goes through the safeguard
thus the voting schedule is always initilized before the first vote.
That first vote is a crucial one because we need to have our voting schedule
aligned to the "now" time we are about to use for voting. Then, the schedule
is updated when we publish our consensus or/and when we set a new consensus.
From that point on, we only want to update the voting schedule through that
code flow.
This "created_on_demand" is indicating that the timings have been recalculated
on demand by another subsystem so if it is flagged, we know that we need to
ignore its values before voting.

The exposed get_voting_schedule() allocates and return a new object everytime
it is called leading to an awful lot of memory allocation when getting the
start time of the current round which is done for each node in the consensus.

(Despite the increased size of the consensus, this should have
approximately zero effect on the compressed consensus size, since
the "proto" line should be completely implied by the "v" line.)
This patch makes us retain the intermediate list of K=V entries for
the duration of computing our vote, and lets us use that list with
a new function in order to look up parameters before the consensus
is published.
We can't actually use this function yet because of #19011: our
existing code to do this doesn't actually work, and we'll need a new
consensus method to start using it.
Closes ticket #19012.
This commit adds the commit(s) line in the vote as well as the SR values. It
also has the mechanism to add the majority SRVs in the consensus.

This commit introduces two new files with their header.
"shared_random.c" contains basic functions to initialize the state and allow
commit decoding for the disk state to be able to parse them from disk.
"shared_random_state.c" contains everything that has to do with the state
for both our memory and disk. Lots of helper functions as well as a
mechanism to query the state in a synchronized way.

Previously, I had left in some debugging code with /*XXX*/ after it,
which nobody noticed. Live and learn! Next time I will use /*XXX
DO NOT COMMIT*/ or something.
We need to define a new consensus method for this; consensus method
21 shouldn't actually be used.
Fixes bug 17702; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
* Include ed25519 identities in votes
* Include "no ed25519 identity" in votes
* Include some commented-out code about identity voting. (This
will disappear.)
* Include some functions for identity voting (These will disappear.)
* Enforce uniqueness in ed25519 keys within a vote
Decrease minimum consensus interval to 10 seconds
when TestingTorNetwork is set. (Or 5 seconds for
the first consensus.)
Fix code that assumes larger interval values.
This assists in quickly bootstrapping a testing
Tor network.
Fixes bugs 13718 & 13823.
This implements the meat of #12899. This commit should simply remove the
parts of Tor dirauths used to check whether a relay was supposed to be
named or not, it doesn't yet convert to a new mechanism for
reject/invalid/baddir/badexiting relays.
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.
We previously used FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers mostly for
identifiers exposed only to the unit tests... but also for
identifiers exposed to the benchmarker, and sometimes for
identifiers exposed to a similar module, and occasionally for no
really good reason at all.
Now, we use FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers for identifiers shared by
Tor and the unit tests. They should be defined static when we
aren't building the unit test, and globally visible otherwise. (The
STATIC macro will keep us honest here.)
For identifiers used only by the unit tests and never by Tor at all,
on the other hand, we wrap them in #ifdef TOR_UNIT_TESTS.
This is not the motivating use case for the split test/non-test
build system; it's just a test example to see how it works, and to
take a chance to clean up the code a little.
A new option TestingV3AuthVotingStartOffset is added which offsets the
starting time of the voting interval. This is possible only when
TestingTorNetwork is set.
This patch makes run_scheduled_events() check for new consensus
downloads every second when TestingTorNetwork, instead of every
minute. This should be fine, see #8532 for reasoning.
This patch also brings MIN_VOTE_SECONDS and MIN_DIST_SECONDS down from
20 to 2 seconds, unconditionally. This makes sanity checking of
misconfiguration slightly less sane.
Addresses #8532.
This was causing dirauths to emit flag weight validation warns if there
was a sufficiently large amount of badexit bandwidth to make a difference in
flag weight results.
If we're deciding on a node's bandwidth based on "Bandwidth="
declarations, clip it to "20" or to the maxunmeasuredbw parameter,
if it's voted on.
This adds a new consensus method.
This is "part A" of bug 2286
Here we try to handle curve25519 onion keys from generating them,
loading and storing them, publishing them in our descriptors, putting
them in microdescriptors, and so on.
This commit is untested and probably buggy like whoa
