The boolean expression model && model->haveWatchOnly() can be simplified to model->haveWatchOnly(), because if (!model || !model->getOptionsModel()) { return; } guards against a potential dereferenced null pointer.

Merge #11984: doc: Update OpenBSD build instructions for 6.2 (cont'd)
6915f93 doc: Update OpenBSD build instructions for 6.2 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  (this continues #11442)
  There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.

  From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.

  Includes #11976.

  I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

1e0ee9095c Use best-fit strategy in Arena, now O(log(n)) instead O(n)
This replaces the first-fit algorithm used in the Arena with a best-fit. According to "Dynamic Storage Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review", Wilson et. al. 1995, http://www.scs.stanford.edu/14wi-cs140/sched/readings/wilson.pdf, both startegies work well in practice.

The advantage of using best-fit is that we can switch the slow O(n) algorithm to O(log(n)) operations. Additionally, some previously O(log(n)) operations are now replaced with O(1) operations by using a hash map. The end effect is that the benchmark runs about 2.5 times faster on my machine:

old: BenchLockedPool, 5, 530, 5.25749, 0.00196938, 0.00199755, 0.00198172
new: BenchLockedPool, 5, 1300, 5.11313, 0.000781493, 0.000793314, 0.00078606

I've run all unit tests and benchmarks.

Merge #11748: [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp.
3e1ee31 [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp. (sean)

Pull request description:

  blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
  to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
  follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
  (though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
  commits).

  Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
  GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
  a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
  implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
  expose them.

  -- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?

  Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
  chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
  existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
  a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
  not just chainActive.

  -- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
  of blockchain.h?

  While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
  the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
  as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
  directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
  function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
  updated accordingly.

  -- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
  blockchain_tests?

  The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
  file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
  commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
  having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
  Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
  is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
  within the same file.

Merge #11605: [Wallet] Enable RBF by default in QT
5cbbbd7 [Wallet] Use RBF by default in QT only (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  ~If there are no objections, this would supersede #11556.~

  Enabling RBF by default avoids the need to explain all possible use cases of RBF.

  This PR does not change the default RPC wallet behavior, as this could break implementations that depend on it and it's not clear what happens when automated services suddenly switch on RBF on a large scale.

  After trying various approaches, we settled on just having QT ignore `-walletrbf`.

  As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11289#issuecomment-334600457, adds the CScripts from the wallet to the `dumpwallet` RPC and then allows them to be imported with the `importwallet` RPC. Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC.

  Notes:
  - Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC `
  - currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue.
  - there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans
  - `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.

  Fixes #11715

Pull request description:

  This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.

  See #11921, #11868.

  I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).

  This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.

  ~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~

  ### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4

  Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.

  Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.

  ### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4

  Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.

  Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.

  ### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh

  Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.

  Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

a71c56aebb clientversion: Use full commit hash for commit-based version descriptions
git keeps changing the number of digits in abbreviated hashes, resulting in the GitHub archive hash changing because we include it here.
To workaround this and avoid hashes that become increasingly ambiguous later on, just include the full commit hash when building from git.
This has no effect on tagged releases.

Merge #11917: Add testnet DNS seed: seed.testnet.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl
f455a24 [net] add seed.testnet.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl to testnet DNS seeds (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  I tested it myself by:
  * `dig seed.testnet.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl`  (should have propagated by now, but if you only see two records with `A 66.111... ` try again later)
  * deleting the other seeds and all data in `.../testnet3`, recompiling and then starting the node. Log shows `21 addresses found from DNS seeds`.

  ACK https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/dnsseed-policy.md

  I'm willing to keep it up and running at least throughout 2018, unless something bad happens.

  About my setup:
  * Amazon EC2 instance in Europe, running Ubuntu 16.04; I use this instance for some other chores, but only port 53 is world reachable (for mainnet I'd probably run a dedicated instance, and perhaps a location I have physical control over)
  * running [sipa/bitcoin-seeder](https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder) with default settings (and the non-root port redirect)
  * feedback about my domain / DNS setup is welcome, I can provide more details via private email

  I can use guidance on _Any hosting services contracted by the operator are equally expected to uphold these expectations_. Although I assume the requirements for testnet are less strict than for mainnet, in case I want to pursue the latter in the future: what unpleasant things can Amazon, my domain registrar and other intermediaries do? How would I mitigate that?

  Also note that The Netherlands passed some pretty onerous legislation creating uncertainty over what the secret service can compel people like myself to do. However these laws won't take effect before mid 2018, there's probably more interesting targets than myself to go after, and it's easier for them to just monitor all unencrypted P2P traffic everywhere, or monitor some intermediary I depend on.

  Any good tools for monitoring uptime?

Merge #11879: [tests] remove redundant univalue_tests.cpp
2862b56 [tests] remove redundant univalue_tests.cpp (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  univalue unit tests were added in #4730 , and exist at `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp` (outside the univalue tree). That test was brought into the univalue repository in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/univalue/pull/4 , which was pulled into the github repository in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11420.

  That means that the univalue test exists in two places:
  1. `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp`
  2. `/src/univalue/test/object.cpp`

  (2) is a strict superset of (1). It adds some macros to work around boost not being a univalue dependency, and adds a few extra lines of test.

  Therefore remove `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp`

d95c83d193 contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh
Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.

Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it
works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Pull request description:

  0.15.0 introduced a new feeest file format, and support for parsing
  old versions was never fully added. We now simply fail to read the
  old format, so remove the dead partial-implementation.
