In this commit, we update the siphash lib we use to the latest version
as it was discovered that the assembly for certain ARM machines has a
flaw which causes it to compute an _incorrect_ siphash function. The
upstream lib has since disabled the assembly after this was discovered.
We update as well in order to ensure that ARM machines will produce the
proper GCS filters.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug in the re-org catch up logic for
the `IndexManager`. Before this commit, we would assign the block to the
_local_ scope rather than the outer scope. As a result, we would never
properly bisect the chain to find the fork point to be able to reconcile
the index state to the main chain only after a re-org occurs.
Fixes#1261
This commit modifies the parsed fields in GetBlockVerbose
and GetBlockHeaderVerbose from a uint64 to an int64.
bitcoind will return -1 if the requested block is not in
the main chain, which causes a panic when trying to
serialize into a uint.
This rearranges some of the function definitions that pertain to initial
peer version negotiation and bringup so they are more consistent with
the preferred order used throughout the codebase. In particular, the
functions are defined before they're first used and generally as close
as possible to the first use when they're defined in the same file.
There are no functional changes.

In this commit, we add an additional consistency check within the
`initChainState` method. It has been observed that at times, a block
wil lbe written to disk (as it's valid), but then the block index isn't
updated to reflect this. This can cause btcd to fail to do things like
serve cfheaders for valid blocks.
To partially remedy this, when we're loading in the index, we assume
that all ancestors of the current chain tip are valid, and mark them as
such. At the very end, we'll flush the index to ensure the state is
fully consistent. Typically this will be a noop, as only dirty elements
are flushed.

Notable difference being that btcd mainline currenlty
doesn't have a blockchain/blockindex_test.go file, so
those changes are omitted.
Great work @davecgh :)
In this commit, we patch a goroutine leak within the peer struct. This
goroutine leak can happen, if the remote side fails to actually finish
negotiation the protocol before our timeout ticker ticks. In this case,
the goroutine will be blocked on a send, as the channel is unfired. An
example trace from a btcd node I had on testnet showed:
```
3183 @ 0x42e78a 0x42e83e 0x40540b 0x4051a5 0x872f76 0x45bfc1
```
So, all instances of the goroutine failing to exit due to the remote
peer not finishing the p2p version negotiation handshake.
Our fix is simple: make the `negotiateErr' channel unbuffered. With this
simple change, we ensure that the goroutine will always exit even in the
case that the parent goroutine exists due to a timeout. # Please enter

In this commit, we fix a bug in the way that we previously attempted to
server cfcheckpoints. In the prior version we would never actually
fetch the current length of the cache. As a result, after the first time
the checkpoints were fetched, we would always continually grow the
cache rather than using what's there if sufficient.
In this commit, we fix this behavior by always checking the length, then
either keeping the rite lock, or downgrading to a read lock if the size
was sufficient.
This generalizes the reorganizeChain function in the blockchain package
to allow it to rewind the chain in the case no attach nodes are provided
or extend the chain in the case no detach nodes are provided.
It also adds several assertions to ensure the assumptions about the
state hold and cleans up the handling of setting invalid ancestor nodes
in the case of a failed block validation.
In this commit, we update all the indexers to use the stxo set for a
particular block rather than the utxo view for the block. We do this as
we can eliminate a large number of random reads for each block, and can
instead deserialize a single instance of all the outputs spent in that
block and feed in the prev input scripts to each indexer.
In this commit, we update the IndexManager interface to use spent txos
rather than the unspent output set for a particualr block. We do this in
order to improve the performance of the current address index which
requires reconstructing the utxo view from the PoV of that new block. In
practice, this is very slow as we need to perform a series of random
reads in order to reconstruct the utxo set. Instead, we can use the set
of SpentTxOut's for that block as this already contains the previous
output scripts which is what all of the current indexers really need.
In this commit, we publicly export the spentTxOut struct and all its
attributes. This is the first in a set of commits to optimize the
existing address index by using the spend journal rather than manually
re-creating the utxoViewPoint each time.
