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.
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.
We need a little refactoring for this to work, since the
initialization code for the periodic events assumes that libevent is
already initialized, which it can't be until it's configured.
This change, combined with the previous ones, lets other subsystems
declare their own periodic events, without mainloop.c having to know
about them. Implements ticket 30293.
We have checks in various places in mainlook.c to make sure that
events are initialized before we invoke any periodic_foo() functions
on them. But now that each subsystem will own its own periodic
events, it will be cleaner if we don't assume that they are all
setup or not.
The end goal here is to move the periodic callback to their
respective modules, so that mainloop.c doesn't have to include so
many other things.
This patch doesn't actually move any of the callbacks out of
mainloop.c yet.
This patch changes the slow process_t tests to use
run_main_loop_until_done() instead of do_main_loop() since
do_main_loop() initializes a lot of subsystem callbacks that we don't
need to run in our tests.

This patch makes the managed proxy subsystem use the process_t data
structure such that we can get events from the PT process while Tor is
running and not just when the PT process is being configured.

When the clock jumps, and we have a record of last user activity,
adjust that record. This way if I'm inactive for 10 minutes and
then the laptop is sleeping for an hour, I'll still count as having
been inactive for 10 minutes.
Previously, we treat every jump as if it were activity, which is
ridiculous, and would prevent a Tor instance with a jumpy clock from
ever going dormant.
Rather than initializing the "Dormant" status to "off" and the "last
activity" count to "now", initialize them based on our state file:
stay dormant if we were dormant, or remember the amount of time
we've spent inactive.
The DormantClientTimeout option controls how long Tor will wait before
going dormant. It also provides a way to disable the feature by setting
DormantClientTimeout to e.g. "50 years".
The DormantTimeoutDisabledByIdleStreams option controls whether open but
inactive streams count as "client activity". To implement it, I had to
make it so that reading or writing on a client stream *always* counts as
activity.
Closes ticket 28429.
This event makes us become dormant if we have seen no activity in a
long time.
Note that being any kind of a server, or running an onion service,
always counts as being active.
Note that right now, just having an open stream that Tor
did not open on its own (for a directory request) counts as "being
active", so if you have an idle ssh connection, that will keep Tor
from becoming dormant.
Many of the features here should become configurable; I'd like
feedback on which.
This is part of 28422, so we don't have to call
consider_hibernation() once per second when we're dormant.
This commit does not remove delayed shutdown from hibernate.c: it
uses it as a backup shutdown mechanism, in case the regular shutdown
timer mechanism fails for some reason.
The previous "ALL" role was the OR of a bunch of other roles,
which is a mistake: it's better if "ALL" means "all".
The "NET_PARTICIPANT" role refers to the anything that is actively
building circuits, downloading directory information, and
participating in the Tor network. For now, it is set to
!net_is_disabled(), but we're going to use it to implement a new
"extra dormant mode".
Closes ticket 28336.
