Some days before this commit, the network experienced a DDoS on the directory
authorities that prevented them to generate a consensus for more than 5 hours
straight.
That in turn entirely disabled onion service v3, client and service side, due
to the subsystem requiring a live consensus to function properly.
We know require a reasonably live consensus which means that the HSv3
subsystem will to its job for using the best consensus tor can find. If the
entire network is using an old consensus, than this should be alright.
If the service happens to use a live consensus while a client is not, it
should still work because the client will use the current SRV it sees which
might be the previous SRV for the service for which it still publish
descriptors for.
If the service is using an old one and somehow can't get a new one while
clients are on a new one, then reachability issues might arise. However, this
is a situation we already have at the moment since the service will simply not
work if it doesn't have a live consensus while a client has one.

We're getting "fallback annotation annotation in unreachable code"
warnings when we build with ALL_BUGS_ARE_FATAL. This patch fixes
that.
Fixes bug 40241. Bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha.
Previously, hashlib.shake_256 was a class (if present); now it can
also be a function. This change invalidated our old
compatibility/workaround code, and made one of our tests fail.
Fixes bug 40179; bugfix on 0.3.1.6-rc when the workaround code was
added.
First I began with a set of candidates:
The client's _required_ list starts with all the protocols
supported by every release in 0.2.9-stable through current
master.
The client's _required_ list starts with all the protocols
supported by every release in 0.3.5-stable through current
master.
Everybody's _recommended_ list starts with all the protocols
supported by every release in 0.3.5-stable through current master.
Then I removed the protocol versions that we do not actually want to
require or recommend:
DirCache=1 (deprecated)
HSDir=1, HSIntro=1-3, HSRend=1 (deprecated)
(All HS* protocol requirements for clients)
Link=1-3 (deprecated)
LinkAuth=1 (obsolete)
Relay=1 (obsolete)
Make it possible to specify multiple ConsensusParams torrc
lines.
Now directory authority operators can for example put the
main ConsensusParams config in one torrc file and then add to it
from a different torrc file.
Closes ticket 40164.
Cons=1 is the old format of consensuses, without ed25519 keys. It
is no longer required or recommended.
Cons=2 is the new format of consensuses, with ed25519 keys. It
is now required.
(Similarly for Desc=1,2 and Microdesc=1,2)
No supported client or relay versions should be affected by this
change, since these versions are supported by clients and relays
running 0.2.9 and later. It will only take effect once enough
authorities vote for it.
Closes ticket 40162.
In brief: we go through a lot of gymnastics to handle huge protover
numbers, but after years of development we're not even close to 10
for any of our current versions. We also have a convenient
workaround available in case we ever run out of protocols: if (for
example) we someday need Link=64, we can just add Link2=0 or
something.
This patch is a minimal patch to change tor's behavior; it doesn't
take advantage of the new restrictions.
Implements #40133 and proposal 318.
If at least one service is configured as a version 2, a log warning is emitted
once and only once.
Closes#40003

First, we introduce a flag to teach src/test/test to split its work
into chunks. Then we replace our invocation of src/test/test in our
"make check" target with a set of 8 scripts that invoke the first
8th of the tests, the second 8th, and so on.
This change makes our "make -kj4 check" target in our hardened
gitlab build more than twice as fast, since src/test/test was taking
the longest to finish.
Closes 40098.
