* g10/main.h (DEFAULT_CIPHER_ALGO): Prefer AES256 by default.
--
It's 2017, and pretty much everyone has AES-256 available. Symmetric
crypto is also rarely the bottleneck (asymmetric crypto is much more
expensive). AES-256 provides some level of protection against
large-scale decryption efforts, and longer key lengths provide a hedge
against unforseen cryptanalysis.

agent/gpg-agent.c (handle_tick): Remove intermittent call to
check_own_socket.
(tv_is_set): Add inline helper function for readability.
(handle_connections) Create general table of pending scheduled
timeouts.
--
handle_tick() does fine-grained, rapid activity. check_own_socket()
is supposed to happen at a different interval.
Mixing the two of them makes it a requirement that one interval be a
multiple of the other, which isn't ideal if there are different delay
strategies that we might want in the future.
Creating an extensible regular timer framework in handle_connections
should make it possible to have any number of cadenced timers fire
regularly, without requiring that they happen in cadences related to
each other.
It should also make it possible to dynamically change the cadence of
any regularly-scheduled timeout.

Rather than resurrecting hosts upon scheduled resurrection times, test

HOUSEKEEPING_INTERVAL seconds.

* dirmngr/ks-engine-hkp.c (select_random_host): Use atomic pass
through the host table instead of risking out-of-bounds write.
--
Multiple threads may write to hosttable[x]->dead while
select_random_host() is running. For example, a housekeeping thread
might clear the ->dead bit on some entries, or another connection to
dirmngr might manually mark a host as alive.
If one or more hosts are resurrected between the two loops over a
given table in select_random_host(), then the allocation of tbl might
not be large enough, resulting in a write past the end of tbl on the
second loop.
This change collapses the two loops into a single loop to avoid this
discrepancy: each host's "dead" bit is now only checked once.
As Werner points out, this isn't currently strictly necessary, since
npth will not switch threads unless a blocking system call is made,
and no blocking system call is made in these two loops.
However, in a subsequent change in this series, we will call a
function in this loop, and that function may sometimes write(2), or
call other functions, which may themselves block. Keeping this as a
single-pass loop avoids the need to keep track of what might block and
what might not.

This avoids needing to setgid gpg-agent. It probably doesn't defend
against all possible attacks, but it defends against one specific (and
easy) one. If there are other protections we should do them too.
This will make it slightly harder to debug the agent because the
normal user won't be able to attach gdb to it directly while it runs.
The remaining options for debugging are:
* launch the agent from gdb directly
* connect gdb to a running agent as the superuser

Due to the DoS attack on the keyeservers we do not anymore default to

keys for the WoT but it still allows to retriev keys - even if that
takes long to download the large keyblocks.
To revert to the old behavior add

This is a pretty stupid fix but one which works without much risk of

the fallback to other host would have been too limited. With the used
value we can have several fallbacks to other hosts. Note that the
TRIES is still cumulative and not per host.

The order matters in a corner case; On a busy machine, there was a
race condition between gpg-agent's running KILLAGENT command and its
accepting incoming request on the socket. If a request by
gpg-connect-agent was accepted, it resulted an error by sudden
shutdown. This change of the order can remove such a race.
Here, we know backend=0 is none.
