When we wrote the directory request statistics code in August 2009, we
thought that these statistics were only relevant for bridges, and that
bridges should not report them. That's why we added a switch to discard
relevant observations made by bridges. This code was first released in
0.2.2.1-alpha.
In May 2012 we learned that we didn't fully disable directory request
statistics on bridges. Bridges did report directory request statistics,
but these statistics contained empty dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs
lines. But the remaining dirreq-* lines have always been non-empty. (We
didn't notice for almost three years, because directory-request statistics
were disabled by default until 0.2.3.1-alpha, and all statistics have been
removed from bridge descriptors before publishing them on the metrics
website.)
Proposal 201, created in May 2012, suggests to add a new line called
bridge-v3-reqs that is similar to dirreq-v3-reqs, but that is published
only by bridges. This proposal is still open as of December 2013.
Since October 2012 we're using dirreq-v3-resp (not -reqs) lines in
combination with bridge-ips lines to estimate bridge user numbers; see
task 8462. This estimation method has superseded the older approach that
was only based on bridge-ips lines in November 2013. Using dirreq-v3-resp
and bridge-ips lines is a workaround. The cleaner approach would be to
use dirreq-v3-reqs instead.
This commit makes bridges report the same directory request statistics as
relays, including dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs lines. It makes
proposal 201 obsolete.
In 0.2.3.8-alpha we attempted to "completely disable stats if we aren't
running as a relay", but instead disabled them only if we aren't running
as a server.
This commit leaves DirReqStatistics enabled on both relays and bridges,
and disables (Cell,Entry,ExitPort)Statistics on bridges.
The 'body' field of a microdesc_t holds a strdup()'d value if the
microdesc's saved_location field is SAVED_IN_JOURNAL or
SAVED_NOWHERE, and holds a pointer to the middle of an mmap if the
microdesc is SAVED_IN_CACHE. But we weren't setting that field
until a while after we parsed the microdescriptor, which left an
interval where microdesc_free() would try to free() the middle of
the mmap().
This patch also includes a regression test.
This is a fix for #10409; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
The old behavior was that NULL matched only bridges without known
identities; the correct behavior is that NULL should match all
bridges (assuming that their addr:port matches).
We were checking whether a 8-bit length field had overflowed a
503-byte buffer. Unless somebody has found a way to store "504" in a
single byte, it seems unlikely.
Fix for 10313 and 9980. Based on a pach by Jared L Wong. First found
by David Fifield with STACK.
It's conceivable (but probably impossible given our code) that lseek
could return -1 on an error; when that happens, we don't want off to
become -1.
Fixes CID 1035124.
This was a mistake in the merge commit 7a2b30fe16. It
would have made the CellStatistics code give completely bogus
results. 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 were simple to resolve. More fixes were needed for
compilation, including: reinstating the tv_to_msec function, and renaming
*_conn_cells to *_chan_cells.
In proposal 157, we added a cross-certification element for
directory authority certificates. We implemented it in
0.2.1.9-alpha. All Tor directory authorities now generate it.
Here, as planned, make it required, so that we can finally close
proposal 157.
The biggest change in the code is in the unit test data, where some
old hardcoded certs that we made long ago have become no longer
valid and now need to be replaced.
Previously, when we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits
had the most queued cells. Now, we close those that have the
*oldest* queued cells, on the theory that those are most responsible
for us running low on memory, and that those are the least likely to
actually drain on their own if we wait a little longer.
Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper by Jansen, Tschorsch,
Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
Roger spotted this on tor-dev in his comments on proposal 221.
We etect DESTROY vs everything else, since arma likes network
timeout indicating failure but not overload indicating failure.
