According to the POSIX standard the option value is a pointer to void
and the option length a socklen_t. The Windows implementation makes the
option value be a pointer to character and the option length an int.
Casting the option value to a pointer to void conforms to the POSIX
standard while the implicit cast to a pointer to character conforms to
the Windows implementation.
The casts of the option length to the socklen_t data type conforms to
the POSIX standard. The socklen_t data type is actually an alias of an
int so it also conforms to the Windows implementation.
When a relay does not have an open directory port but it has an
orport configured and is accepting client connections then it can
now service tunnelled directory requests, too. This was already true
of relays with an dirport configured.
We also conditionally stop advertising this functionality if the
relay is nearing its bandwidth usage limit - same as how dirport
advertisement is determined.
Partial implementation of prop 237, ticket 12538
These IPv6 addresses must be quoted, because : is the port separator,
and "acce" is a valid hex block.
Add unit tests for assumed actions in IPv6 policies.
"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes
other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a
list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet.
Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places
where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority
reachability and BW less important.
We want them to have been around and using their current key, address,
and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard,
and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time."
Features:
* whitelist and blacklist for an opt-in/opt-out trial.
* excludes BadExits, tor versions that aren't recommended, and low
consensus weight directory mirrors.
* reduces the weighting of Exits to avoid overloading them.
* places limits on the weight of any one fallback.
* includes an IPv6 address and orport for each FallbackDir, as
implemented in #17327. (Tor won't bootstrap using IPv6 fallbacks
until #17840 is merged.)
* generated output includes timestamps & Onionoo URL for traceability.
* unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default
fallback directories.
Closes ticket #15775. Patch by "teor".

Once tor is downloading a usable consensus, any other connection
attempts are not needed.
Choose a connection to keep, favouring:
* fallback directories over authorities,
* connections initiated earlier over later connections
Close all other connections downloading a consensus.
Prop210: Add attempt-based connection schedules
Existing tor schedules increment the schedule position on failure,
then retry the connection after the scheduled time.
To make multiple simultaneous connections, we need to increment the
schedule position when making each attempt, then retry a (potentially
simultaneous) connection after the scheduled time.
(Also change find_dl_schedule_and_len to find_dl_schedule, as it no
longer takes or returns len.)
Prop210: Add multiple simultaneous consensus downloads for clients
Make connections on TestingClientBootstrapConsensus*DownloadSchedule,
incrementing the schedule each time the client attempts to connect.
Check if the number of downloads is less than
TestingClientBootstrapConsensusMaxInProgressTries before trying any
more connections.
UseDefaultFallbackDirs enables any hard-coded fallback
directory mirrors. Default is 1, set it to 0 to disable fallbacks.
Implements ticket 17576.
Patch by "teor".
Using variables removes the ambiguity about when to use variables and
when to use substitutions. Variables always work. Substitutions only
work when Autoconf knows about them which is not always the case.
The variables are also placed between quotes to ensures spaces in the
variables are handled properly.
Update the code for IPv6 authorities and fallbacks for function
argument changes.
Update unit tests affected by the function argument changes in
the patch.
Add unit tests for authority and fallback:
* adding via a function
* line parsing
* adding default authorities
(Adding default fallbacks is unit tested in #15775.)
The hidden service descriptor cache (rendcache) tests use digest maps
which expect keys to have a length of DIGEST_LEN.
Because the tests use key strings with a length lower than DIGEST_LEN,
the internal copy operation reads outside the key strings which leads to
buffer over-reads.
The issue is resolved by using character arrays with a size of
DIGEST_LEN.
Patch on ade5005853.
The tests pass empty digest strings to the dir_server_new function which
copies it into a directory server structure. The copy operation expects
the digest strings to be DIGEST_LEN characters long.
Because the length of the empty digest strings are lower than
DIGEST_LEN, the copy operation reads outside the digest strings which
leads to buffer over-reads.
The issue is resolved by using character arrays with a size of
DIGEST_LEN.
