This commit resolves a deadlock observed when attempting
to generate addresses. There were a few cases, particularly
in chainAddressRowToManaged and loadAccountInfo, which accessed
the public IsLocked() method of the Manager, even though the
shared mutex had already been acquired.
The solution is to create an internal isLocked() method, which
can be safely called assuming the manager's mutex has already been
acquired. As the comments above both of the methods in question
specify, we can assume the Manager's mutex *is* already acquired.
This commit also reduces some unnecessary code duplication, since
the recent changes left both a Locked() and IsLocked() method that
perform the same functionality. IsLocked() was favored as it more
clearly indicates that the returned value is a boolean.
This changes the database access APIs and each of the "manager"
packages (waddrmgr/wstakemgr) so that transactions are opened (only)
by the wallet package and the namespace buckets that each manager
expects to operate on are passed in as parameters.
This helps improve the atomicity situation as it means that many
calls to these APIs can be grouped together into a single
database transaction.
This change does not attempt to completely fix the "half-processed"
block problem. Mined transactions are still added to the wallet
database under their own database transaction as this is how they are
notified by the consensus JSON-RPC server (as loose transactions,
without the rest of the block that contains them). It will make
updating to a fixed notification model significantly easier, as the
same "manager" APIs can still be used, but grouped into a single
atomic transaction.
This commit introduces two new address types to the waddrmgr. The first
address type is the native p2wkh (pay-to-witness-key-hash) output type
introduced as part of BIP0141 and the segwit soft-fork. The second
address type is a p2wkh output nested *within* a regular p2sh output.
This second address allows older wallets which are not yet aware of the
new segwit output types to transparently pay to a wallet which does
support them. Additionally, using this nested p2wkh output the wallet
gains both the space+transaction fee savings, as well as the
malleability fixes.
Both address types have been implemented as special cases of the
ManagedPubKeyAddress since they share several traits, only
differentiating in the signing mechanism needed, and the concrete
implementation of btcutil.Address returned by the address.
Two new `addressType` constants have been added to waddrmgr’s db in
order to properly serialize and deserialize the new address types.
This introduce a new internal package to deal with the explicit
clearing of data (such as private keys) in byte slices, byte arrays
(32 and 64-bytes long), and multi-precision "big" integers.

Removes an XXX from the votingpool package.
This contains the APIs to create and retrieve Voting Pools and Series (with
public/private keys) from a walletdb namespace, plus the generation of deposit
addresses (using m-of-n multi-sig P2SH scripts according to the series
configuration).
Useful to test error conditions.
Also provide a new function that wraps snacl.GenerateCryptoKey(),
defined as a variable so that it can be replaced in tests.
This commit implements a new secure, scalable, hierarchical deterministic
wallet address manager package.
The following is an overview of features:
- BIP0032 hierarchical deterministic keys
- BIP0043/BIP0044 multi-account hierarchy
- Strong focus on security:
- Fully encrypted database including public information such as
addresses as well as private information such as private keys and
scripts needed to redeem pay-to-script-hash transactions
- Hardened against memory scraping through the use of actively clearing
private material from memory when locked
- Different crypto keys used for public, private, and script data
- Ability for different passphrases for public and private data
- Scrypt-based key derivation
- NaCl-based secretbox cryptography (XSalsa20 and Poly1305)
- Multi-tier scalable key design to allow instant password changes
regardless of the number of addresses stored
- Import WIF keys
- Import pay-to-script-hash scripts for things such as multi-signature
transactions
- Ability to export a watching-only version which does not contain any
private key material
- Programmatically detectable errors, including encapsulation of errors
from packages it relies on
- Address synchronization capabilities
This commit only provides the implementation package. It does not
include integration into to the existing wallet code base or conversion of
existing addresses. That functionality will be provided by future
commits.
