Previously we ensured that it would get called periodically by doing
it from inside the code that added microdescriptors. That won't work
though: it would interfere with our code that tried to read microdescs
from disk initially. Instead, we should consider rebuilding the cache
periodically, and on startup.
Instead of just saying "boogity boogity!" let's actually warn people
that they need to configure stuff right to be safe, and point them
at instructions for how to do that.
Resolves bug 2474.
This is a tweak to the bug2917 fix. Basically, if we want to simulate
a signal arriving in the controller, we shouldn't have to pretend that
we're Libevent, or depend on how Tor sets up its Libevent callbacks.
While doing so, get rid of the now unnecessary function
control_signal_act().
Fixes bug 2917, reported by Robert Ransom. Bugfix on commit
9b4aa8d2ab. This patch is loosely based on
a patch by Robert (Changelog entry).
We've got millisecond timers now, we might as well use them.
This change won't actually make circuits get expiered with microsecond
precision, since we only call the expiry functions once per second.
Still, it should avoid the situation where we have a circuit get
expired too early because of rounding.
A couple of the expiry functions now call tor_gettimeofday: this
should be cheap since we're only doing it once per second. If it gets
to be called more often, though, we should onsider having the current
time be an argument again.
Name the magic value "10" rather than re-deriving it.
Comment more.
Use the pattern that works for periodic timers, not the pattern that
doesn't work. ;)

It also creates status.c and the log_heartbeat() function.
All code was written by Sebastian Hahn. Commit message was
written by me (George Kadianakis).
This was originally a patch provided by pipe
(http://www.mail-archive.com/or-talk@freehaven.net/msg13085.html) to
provide a method for controllers to query the total amount of traffic
tor has handled (this is a frequently requested piece of information
by relay operators).
Our old code correctly called bufferevent_flush() on linked
connections to make sure that the other side got an EOF event... but
it didn't call bufferevent_flush() when the connection wasn't
hold_open_until_flushed. Directory connections don't use
hold_open_until_flushed, so the linked exit connection never got an
EOF, so they never sent a RELAY_END cell to the client, and the
client never concluded that data had arrived.
The solution is to make the bufferevent_flush() code apply to _all_
closing linked conns whose partner is not already marked for close.
* Make tor_tls_context_new internal to tortls.c, and return the new
tor_tls_context_t from it.
* Add a public tor_tls_context_init wrapper function to replace it.
The node_t type is meant to serve two key functions:
1) Abstracting difference between routerinfo_t and microdesc_t
so that clients can use microdesc_t instead of routerinfo_t.
2) Being a central place to hold mutable state about nodes
formerly held in routerstatus_t and routerinfo_t.
This patch implements a nodelist type that holds a node for every
router that we would consider using.
Specifically, a circ attempt that we'd launched while the network was
down could timeout after we've marked our entrynodes up, marking them
back down again. The fix is to annotate as bad the OR conns that were
around before we did the retry, so if a circuit that's attached to them
times out we don't do anything about it.
This requires the latest Git version of Libevent as of 24 March 2010.
In the future, we'll just say it requires Libevent 2.0.5-alpha or
later.
Since Libevent doesn't yet support hierarchical rate limit groups,
there isn't yet support for tracking relayed-bytes separately when
using the bufferevent system. If a future version does add support
for hierarchical buckets, we can add that back in.
When we introduced the code to close non-open OR connections after
KeepalivePeriod had passed, we replaced some code that said
if (!connection_is_open(conn)) {
/* let it keep handshaking forever */
} else if (do other tests here) {
...
with new code that said
if (!connection_is_open(conn) && past_keepalive) {
/* let it keep handshaking forever */
} else if (do other tests here) {
...
This was a mistake, since it made all the other tests start applying
to non-open connections, thus causing bug 1840, where non-open
connections get closed way early.
Fixes bug 1840. Bugfix on 0.2.1.26 (commit 67b38d50).
With this patch we stop scheduling when we should write statistics using a
single timestamp in run_scheduled_events(). Instead, we remember when a
statistics interval starts separately for each statistic type in geoip.c
and rephist.c. Every time run_scheduled_events() tries to write stats to
disk, it learns when it should schedule the next such attempt.
This patch also enables all statistics to be stopped and restarted at a
later time.
This patch comes with a few refactorings, some of which were not easily
doable without the patch.
The next series of commits begins addressing the issue that we're
currently including the complete or.h file in all of our source files.
To change that, we're splitting function definitions into new header
files (one header file per source file).
These timers behave better with non-monotonic clocks than our old
ones, and also try harder to make once-per-second events get called
one second apart, rather than one-plus-epsilon seconds apart.
This fixes bug 943 for everybody using Libevent 2.0 or later.
Most of the changes here are switches to use APIs available on Windows
CE. The most pervasive change is that Windows CE only provides the
wide-character ("FooW") variants of most of the windows function, and
doesn't support the older ASCII verions at all.
This patch will require use of the wcecompat library to get working
versions of the posix-style fd-based file IO functions.
[commit message by nickm]
Fix statistics on client numbers by country as seen by bridges that were
broken in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Also switch to reporting full 24-hour intervals
instead of variable 12-to-48-hour intervals.
The HSAuthorityRecordStats option was used to track statistics of overall
hidden service usage on the version 0 hidden service authorities. With the
version 2 hidden service directories being deployed and version 0
descriptors being phased out, these statistics are not as useful anymore.
Goodbye, you fine piece of software; my first major code contribution to
Tor.
The new rule is: safe_str_X() means "this string is a piece of X
information; make it safe to log." safe_str() on its own means
"this string is a piece of who-knows-what; make it safe to log".
- Avoid memmoving 0 bytes which might lead to compiler warnings.
- Don't require relays to be entry node AND bridge at the same to time to
record clients.
- Fix a memory leak when writing dirreq-stats.
- Don't say in the stats files that measurement intervals are twice as long
as they really are.
- Reduce minimum observation time for requests to 12 hours, or we might
never record usage.
- Clear exit stats correctly after writing them, or we accumulate old stats
over time.
- Reset interval start for buffer stats, too.
We were telling the controller about CHECKING_REACHABILITY and
REACHABILITY_FAILED status events whenever we launch a testing
circuit or notice that one has failed. Instead, only tell the
controller when we want to inform the user of overall success or
overall failure. Bugfix on 0.1.2.6-alpha. Fixes bug 1075. Reported
by SwissTorExit.
when we write out our stability info, detect relays that have slipped
through the cracks. log about them and correct the problem.
if we continue to see a lot of these over time, it means there's another
spot where relays fall out of the routerlist without being marked as
unreachable.
The rest of the code was only including event.h so that it could see
EV_READ and EV_WRITE, which we were using as part of the
connection_watch_events interface for no very good reason.
This patch adds a new compat_libevent.[ch] set of files, and moves our
Libevent compatibility and utilitity functions there. We build them
into a separate .a so that nothing else in src/commmon depends on
Libevent (partially fixing bug 507).
Also, do not use our own built-in evdns copy when we have Libevent
2.0, whose evdns is finally good enough (thus fixing Bug 920).
Apparently all the stuff that does a linear scan over all the DNS
cache entries can get really expensive when your DNS cache is very
large. It's hard to say how much this will help performance, since
gprof doesn't count time spent in OpenSSL or zlib, but I'd guess 10%.
Also, this patch removes calls to assert_connection_ok() from inside
the read and write callbacks, which are similarly unneeded, and a
little costlier than I'm happy with.
This is probably worth backporting to 0.2.0.
- Write geoip stats to disk every 24 hours, not every hour.
- Remove configuration options and define reasonable defaults.
- Clear history of client requests every 24 hours (which wasn't done at
all before).
Specifically if you send SIGUSR1, it will add two lines to the log file:
May 22 07:41:59.576 [notice] Our DNS cache has 3364 entries.
May 22 07:41:59.576 [notice] Our DNS cache size is approximately 1022656
bytes.
[tweaked a bit by nickm]
crypto_global_init gets called. Also have it be crypto_global_init
that calls crypto_seed_rng, so we are not dependent on OpenSSL's
RAND_poll in these fiddly cases.

Here, have some terribly clever new buffer code. It uses a mbuf-like strategy rather than a ring buffer strategy, so it should require far far less extra memory to hold any given amount of data. Also, it avoids access patterns like x=malloc(1024);x=realloc(x,1048576);x=realloc(x,1024);append_to_freelist(x) that might have been contributing to memory fragmentation. I've tested it out a little on peacetime, and it seems to work so far. If you want to benchmark it for speed, make sure to remove the #define PARANOIA; #define NOINLINE macros at the head of the module.

Keep track, for each OR connection, of the last time we added a non-padding cell to its outbuf. Use this timestamp, not "lastwritten" to tell if it is time to close a circuitless connection.

- Only listen to responses for "authority" fetches if we're configured
to use Bridges. Otherwise it's safe (and maybe smarter) to silently
discard them like we used to.
- React faster to download networkstatuses after the first bridge
descriptor arrives.
- Don't do dir fetches before we have any bridges, even when our
dirport is open.
svn:r10604
- demand options->Bridges and options->TunnelDirConns if
options->UseBridges is set.
- after directory fetches, accept descriptors that aren't referenced by
our networkstatuses, *if* they're for a configured bridge.
- delay directory fetching until we have at least one bridge descriptor.
- learn how to build a one-hop circuit when we have neither routerinfo
nor routerstatus for our destination.
- teach directory connections how to pick a bridge as the destination
directory when doing non-anonymous fetches.
- tolerate directory commands for which the dir_port is 0.
- remember descriptors when the requested_resource was "authority",
rather than just ignoring them.
- put bridges on our entry_guards list once we have a descriptor for them.
When UseBridges is set, only pick entry guards that are bridges. Else

2) Express all time periods as products (24*60*60), not as multiplied-out

3) Comments like "(60*60) /* one hour */" are as pointless as comments
like "c = a + b; /* set c to the sum of a and b */". Remove them.

Weasel says circuit_get_by_conn is his main timesink. Most of its
users were just checking whether OR conns had circuits, so add a
circuit count to OR conns, and check that. One was
circuit_about_to_close_conn, which was doing an O(n^2) series of calls
to get all circs on an OR conn, so make an O(n) function for that.
Finally, circuit_get_by_edge_conn was using it as a sanity test that
has been around for a while but never found any actualy insanity, so
kill that.
