Previously, we operated on smartlists of NUL-terminated strings,
which required us to copy both inputs to produce the NUL-terminated
strings. Then we copied parts of _those_ inputs to produce an
output smartlist of NUL-terminated strings. And finally, we
concatenated everything into a final resulting string.
This implementation, instead, uses a pointer-and-extent pattern to
represent each line as a pointer into the original inputs and a
length. These line objects are then added by reference into the
output. No actual bytes are copied from the original strings until
we finally concatenate the final result together.
Bookkeeping structures and newly allocated strings (like ed
commands) are allocated inside a memarea, to avoid needless mallocs
or complicated should-I-free-this-or-not bookkeeping.
In my measurements, this improves CPU performance by something like
18%. The memory savings should be much, much higher.
Also, add very strict split/join functions, and totally forbid
nonempty files that end with somethig besides a newline. This
change is necessary to ensure that diff/apply are actually reliable
inverse operations.
The 2-line diff changs is needed to make the unit tests actually
test the cases that they thought they were testing.
The bogus free was found while testing those cases
(This commit was extracted by nickm based on the final outcome of
the project, taking only the changes in the files touched by this
commit from the consdiff_rebased branch. The directory-system
changes are going to get worked on separately.)
Also, relaxed the checks of encrypted_data_length_is_valid() since now
only one encrypted section has padding requirements and we don't
actually care to check that all the padding is there.
Consider starting code review from function encode_superencrypted_data().
- Refactor our HS desc crypto funcs to be able to differentiate between
the superencrypted layer and the encrypted layer so that different
crypto constants and padding is used in each layer.
- Introduce some string constants.
- Add some comments.
As part of the work for proposal #274 we are going to remove the need
for MIN_ONION_KEY_LIFETIME and turn it into a dynamic value defined by a
consensus parameter.

The bridges+ipv6-min integration test has a client with bridges:
Bridge 127.0.0.1:5003
Bridge [::1]:5003
which got stuck in guard_selection_have_enough_dir_info_to_build_circuits()
because it couldn't find the descriptor of both bridges.
Specifically, the guard_has_descriptor() function could not find the
node_t of the [::1] bridge, because the [::1] bridge had no identity
digest assigned to it.
After further examination, it seems that during fetching the descriptor
for our bridges, we used the CERTS cell to fill the identity digest of
127.0.0.1:5003 properly. However, when we received a CERTS cell from
[::1]:5003 we actually ignored its identity digest because the
learned_router_identity() function was using
get_configured_bridge_by_addr_port_digest() which was returning the
127.0.0.1 bridge instead of the [::1] bridge (because it prioritizes
digest matching over addrport matching).
The fix replaces get_configured_bridge_by_addr_port_digest() with the
recent get_configured_bridge_by_exact_addr_port_digest() function. It
also relaxes the constraints of the
get_configured_bridge_by_exact_addr_port_digest() function by making it
return bridges whose identity digest is not yet known.
By using the _exact_() function, learned_router_identity() actually
fills in the identity digest of the [::1] bridge, which then allows
guard_has_descriptor() to find the right node_t and verify that the
descriptor is there.
FWIW, in the bridges+ipv6-min test both 127.0.0.1 and [::1] bridges
correspond to the same node_t, which I guess makes sense given that it's
actually the same underlying bridge.
This patch removes the `tor_fgets()` wrapper around `fgets(3)` since it
is no longer needed. The function was created due to inconsistency
between the returned values of `fgets(3)` on different versions of Unix
when using `fgets(3)` on non-blocking file descriptors, but with the
recent changes in bug #21654 we switch from unbuffered to direct I/O on
non-blocking file descriptors in our utility module.
We continue to use `fgets(3)` directly in the geoip and dirserv module
since this usage is considered safe.
This patch also removes the test-case that was created to detect
differences in the implementation of `fgets(3)` as well as the changes
file since these changes was not included in any releases yet.

Make hidden services with 8 to 10 introduction points check for failed
circuits immediately after startup. Previously, they would wait for 5
minutes before performing their first checks.
