Replace the main-loop scheduled periodic alarm with an "activate" alarm that is
scheduled whenever a fetch candidate is added to any queue, unless the alarm is
already scheduled.
Replace the "rhizome.fetch_interval_ms" config item with
"rhizome.fetch_delay_ms" [default 50], which is the number of milliseconds
between adding a fetch candidate and firing the "activate" alarm. This allows
time for a few more Rhizome advertisment packets to arrive after the first one,
before deciding which fetches to start first.
Add new `is_scheduled()` alarm primitive.
Overhauled the file fetch queue logic in rhizome_fetch.c.
Now the 'rhizomeprotocol' stress test passes in approximately 5 minutes on my
2009-vintage Dell laptop.
Added a call to rhizome_enqueue_suggestions() in rhizome_fetch_close() so that
a new Rhizome GET request is sent as soon as a fetch slot becomes free, instead
of waiting for the (default 5 second) timer to trigger the next GET.
type on next use (so that people upgrading automatically get a new valid
SAS instead of continuing to try to use an invalid one -- this is only
a reasonable course of action since we have made no formal releases of
the code). #17
as recommended a while back by Dan Bernstein as offering the fastest
implementation of the crypto_sign() primitives for ARM.
Indeed this implementation IS faster. See comparison below for a
Rock 500 handset (800MHz(?) ARM6, no NEON):
Original ref/ implementation on an R500 stock rom (non-rooted)::
mean signature generation time = 96.80ms
mean signature verification time = 272.20ms
ref10/ implementations on an R500 stock rom (non-rooted):
mean signature generation time = 4.00ms
mean signature verification time = 13.00ms
Approximately 20x speed up, just like that :)
If supplied, the finally_TestCaseName() function, otherwise the finally()
function, is called after the test_TestCaseName() function terminates (with any
result). An assertion failure in the finally() function causes the test to
FAIL, but execution continues. So it is like teardown() but produces FAIL not
ERROR. Useful for clean-up that must be performed as part of the system under
test.
Introduce __WHENCE__ macro and a block comment in log.h explaining it.
In "primitive" kinds of functions, rename 'whence' arguments to '__whence' and
use WHYF(), WARNF(), DEBUGF() macros instead of calling logMessage() directly.
In the case that the MANIFESTS 'author' column is not NULL, do not perform a
full bundle secret verification in order to clear the '.readonly' flag, just
check whether the author's SID is present in the keyring with a proper-size
rhizome secret.
Do not store negatives in the MANIFESTS 'author' column, just positives, so
that newly-unlocked identities are still checked.
Comment in rhizome_database.c about the semantics of the MANIFESTS.author
column.
Add ".readonly" output field, add logic to detect bundle author and update
MANIFESTS table 'author' column accordingly.
Add two 'rhizomeops' test cases to deal with authorless logic.
Rename some 'rhizomeops' test cases for consistency and to help filtering.
Add test case for new feature of the "rhizome add" command: if the author SID
is not specified (empty arg) then it searches the keyring for the author.
Removed "authorSid" argument from several functions that also take a struct
rhizome_manifest * arg, since the author, if known, is now supplied in the
struct.
Improve return value handling and refactored some rhizome crypto code.
