clang 3.4 introduced a new by-default warning about unused static
functions, which we triggered heavily for the hashtable and map function
generating macros. We can use __attribute__ ((unused)) (thanks nickm for
the suggestion :-) ) to silence these warnings.
It's increasingly apparent that we want to make sure we initialize our
PRNG nice and early, or else OpenSSL will do it for us. (OpenSSL
doesn't do _too_ bad a job, but it's nice to do it ourselves.)
We'll also need this for making sure we initialize the siphash key
before we do any hashes.
I've made an exception for cases where I'm sure that users can't
influence the inputs. This is likely to cause a slowdown somewhere,
but it's safer to siphash everything and *then* look for cases to
optimize.
This patch doesn't actually get us any _benefit_ from siphash yet,
since we don't really randomize the key at any point.
This time, we use a pthread_attr to make sure that if pthread_create
succeeds, the thread is successfully detached.
This probably isn't the big thing going on with 4345, since it'd be
a bit weird for pthread_detach to be failing. But it's worth
getting it right.
This fixes bug 10402, where the rdrand engine would use the rdrand
instruction, not as an additional entropy source, but as a replacement
for the entire userspace PRNG. That's obviously stupid: even if you
don't think that RDRAND is a likely security risk, the right response
to an alleged new alleged entropy source is never to throw away all
previously used entropy sources.
Thanks to coderman and rl1987 for diagnosing and tracking this down.
This flag prevents the creation of a console window popup on Windows. We
need it for pluggable transport executables--otherwise you get blank
console windows when you launch the 3.x browser bundle with transports
enabled.

The browser bundles that used Vidalia used to set this flag when
launching tor itself; it was apparently inherited by the pluggable
transports launched by tor. In the 3.x bundles, tor is launched by some
JavaScript code, which doesn't have the ability to set CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
tor itself is now being compiled with the -mwindows option, so that it
is a GUI application, not a console application, and doesn't show a
console window in any case. This workaround doesn't work for pluggable
transports, because they need to be able to write control messages to
stdout.

The previous commit from piet would have backed out some of proposal
198 and made servers built without the V2 handshake not use the
unrestricted cipher list from prop198.
Bug not in any released Tor.
We had accidentially grown two fake ones: one for backtrace.c, and one
for sandbox.c. Let's do this properly instead.
Now, when we configure logs, we keep track of fds that should get told
about bad stuff happening from signal handlers. There's another entry
point for these that avoids using non-signal-handler-safe functions.
On platforms with the backtrace/backtrace_symbols_fd interface, Tor
can now dump stack traces on assertion failure. By default, I log
them to DataDir/stack_dump and to stderr.
Conflicts:
src/or/or.h
src/or/relay.c
Conflicts were simple to resolve. More fixes were needed for
compilation, including: reinstating the tv_to_msec function, and renaming
*_conn_cells to *_chan_cells.
