For various reasons, this was a nontrivial movement. There are
several places in the code where we do something like "update the
flags on this routerstatus or node if we're an authority", and at
least one where we pretended to be an authority when we weren't.
I don't believe any of these represent a real timing vulnerability
(remote timing against memcmp() on a modern CPU is not easy), but
these are the ones where I believe we should be more careful.
Manually fix up some reply-generating code that the Coccinelle scripts
won't match. Some more complicated ones remain -- these are mostly
ones that accumulate data to send, and then call connection_buf_add()
or connection_write_str_to_buf() directly.
Create a set of abstractions for controller commands and events to
output replies to the control channel. The control protocol has a
relatively consistent SMTP-like structure, so it's helpful when code
that implements control commands and events doesn't explicitly format
everything on its own.
Split the core reply formatting code out of control_fmt.c into
control_proto.c. The remaining code in control_format.c deals with
specific subsystems and will eventually move to join those subsystems.
When we tell the periodic event manager about an event, we are
"registering" that event. The event sits around without being
usable, however, until we "connect" the event to libevent. In the
end, we "disconnect" the event and remove its libevent parts.
Previously, we called these operations "add", "setup", and
"destroy", which led to confusion.
The nodelist_idx for each node_t serves as a unique identifier for
the node, so we can use a bitarray to hold all the excluded
nodes, and then remove them from the smartlist.
Previously use used smartlist_subtract(sl, excluded), which is
O(len(sl)*len(excluded)).
We can use this function in other places too, but this is the one
that showed up on the profiles of 30291.
Closes ticket 30307.
This command does not fit perfectly with the others, since its
second argument is optional and may contain equal signs. Still,
it's probably better to squeeze it into the new metaformat, since
doing so allows us to remove several pieces of the old
command-parsing machinery.
(This should be all of the command that work nicely with positional
arguments only.)
Some of these commands should probably treat extra arguments as
incorrect, but for now I'm trying to be careful not to break
any existing users.
The first line break in particular was mishandled: it was discarded
if no arguments came before it, which made it impossible to
distinguish arguments from the first line of the body.
To solve this, we need to allocate a copy of the command rather than
using NUL to separate it, since we might have "COMMAND\n" as our input.
Fixes ticket 29984.
There _is_ an underlying logic to these commands, but it isn't
wholly uniform, given years of tweaks and changes. Fortunately I
think there is a superset that will work.
This commit adds a parser for some of the most basic cases -- the
ones currently handled by getargs_helper() and some of the
object-taking ones. Soon will come initial tests; then I'll start using
the parser.
After that, I'll expand the parser to handle the other cases that come
up in the controller protocol.
