The current getblocktxn implementation drops and ignores requests for old
blocks, which causes occasional sync_block timeouts during the
p2p-compactblocks.py test as reported in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/8842.
The p2p-compactblocks.py test setup creates many new blocks in a short
period of time, which can lead to getblocktxn requests for blocks below the
hardcoded depth limit of 10 blocks. This commit changes the getblocktxn
handler not to ignore these requests, so the peer nodes in the test setup
will reliably be able to sync.
The protocol change is documented in BIP-152 update "Allow block responses
to getblocktxn requests" at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/469.
The protocol change is not expected to affect nodes running outside the test
environment, because there shouldn't normally be lots of new blocks being
rapidly added that need to be synced.
The stream implementations had two cascading layers (the upper one
with operator<< and operator>>, and a lower one with read and write).
The lower layer's functions are never cascaded (nor should they, as
they should only be used from the higher layer), so make them return
void instead.

- `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error)
- error reading config file should exit with `1`
Slightly refactor AppInitRPC/AppInitRawTx to return standard exit codes (EXIT_FAILURE/EXIT_SUCCESS) or CONTINUE_EXECUTION (-1)
The changes here are dense and subtle, but hopefully all is more explicit
than before.
- CConnman is now in charge of sending data rather than the nodes themselves.
This is necessary because many decisions need to be made with all nodes in
mind, and a model that requires the nodes calling up to their manager quickly
turns to spaghetti.
- The per-node-serializer (ssSend) has been replaced with a (quasi-)const
send-version. Since the send version for serialization can only change once
per connection, we now explicitly tag messages with INIT_PROTO_VERSION if
they are sent before the handshake. With this done, there's no need to lock
for access to nSendVersion.
Also, a new stream is used for each message, so there's no need to lock
during the serialization process.
- This takes care of accounting for optimistic sends, so the
nOptimisticBytesWritten hack can be removed.
- -dropmessagestest and -fuzzmessagestest have not been preserved, as I suspect
they haven't been used in years.
This allows future software that would relay compact blocks before
full validation to announce only to peers that will not ban if the
block turns out to be invalid.

GetTotalBlocksEstimate is no longer used and it was the only thing
the checkpoint tests were testing.
Since checkpoints are on their way out it makes more sense to remove
the test file than to cook up a new pointless test.
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended
to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the
time of software release. If you don't have this much work, you're
not yet caught up.
This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints.
This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of
subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more
reliable metric of sync status than a block count.
Fixes newly initialized bloom filters being
constructed with isEmpty(false), which still
works but loses the possible speedup when
checking for key membership in an empty filter.
This will result in many more calls to CheckBlockIndex when
connecting a list of headers (eg in ::HEADERS messages processing)
but its only enabled in debug mode, and that should mostly just be
during IBD, so it should be OK.
UnloadBlockIndex is only used during init if we end up reindexing
to clear our block state so that we can start over. However, at
that time no connections have been brought up as CConnman hasn't
been started yet, so all of the network processing state logic is
empty when its called.
Additionally, the initialization of the recentRejects set is moved
to InitPeerLogic.
This splits the output comparison for `bitcoin-tx` into two steps:
- First, check for data mismatch, parsing the data as json or hex
depending on the extension of the output file
- Then, check if the literal string matches
For either of these cases give a different error.
This prevents wild goose chases when e.g. a trailing space doesn't match
exactly, and makes sure that both test output and examples are valid
data of the purported format.
Recent discussion (in IRC meetings, and e.g. #8989) has shown a
preference for the default confirm target for smartfees to be 6 instead
of 2, to avoid overpaying fees for questionable gain.
6 is also a compromise between the GUI's pre-#8989 value of 25 and the
bitcoind `-txconfirmtarget` default of 2. These were unified in #8989,
but this has made the (overly expensive) default of 2 as GUI default.
```
getmemoryinfo
Returns an object containing information about memory usage.
Result:
{
"locked": { (json object) Information about locked memory manager
"used": xxxxx, (numeric) Number of bytes used
"free": xxxxx, (numeric) Number of bytes available in current arenas
"total": xxxxxxx, (numeric) Total number of bytes managed
"locked": xxxxxx, (numeric) Amount of bytes that succeeded locking. If this number is smaller than total, locking pages failed at some point and key data could be swapped to disk.
}
}
Examples:
> bitcoin-cli getmemoryinfo
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getmemoryinfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
```
Add a pool for locked memory chunks, replacing LockedPageManager.
This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. The current
approach of locking objects where they happen to be on the stack or heap
in-place causes a lot of mlock/munlock system call overhead, slowing
down any handling of keys.
Also locked memory is a limited resource on many operating systems (and
using a lot of it bogs down the system), so the previous approach of
locking every page that may contain any key information (but also other
information) is wasteful.
This change is needed to prevent sync_blocks timeouts in the mempool_reorg
test after the sync_blocks update in the upcoming commit
"[qa] Change sync_blocks to pick smarter maxheight".
This change was initially suggested by Suhas Daftuar <sdaftuar@chaincode.com>
in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8680#r78209060

nMaxInbound might very well be 0 or -1, if the user prefers to keep
a small number of maxconnections.
Note: nMaxInbound of -1 means that the user set maxconnections
to 8 or less, but we still want to keep an additional slot for
the feeler connection.
Add getNetworkActive()/setNetworkActive() method to client model.
Send network active status through NotifyNetworkActiveChanged.
Indicate in tool tip of gui status bar network indicator whether network activity is disabled.
Indicate in debug window whether network activity is disabled and add button to allow user to toggle network activity state.
Added the function SetNetworkActive() which when called with argument set to false disconnects all nodes and sets the flag fNetworkActive to false. As long as this flag is false no new connections are attempted and no incoming connections are accepted. Network activity is reenabled by calling the function with argument true.
Note that this is not a major issue as, in order for the missing
lock to cause issues, you have to receive a GETBLOCKTXN message
while reindexing, adding a block header via RPC, etc, which results
in either a table rehash or an insert into the bucket which you are
currently looking at.

Makes it an error to use flags that have not been defined
on the libconsensus API.
There has been some confusion as to what pass to libconsensus, and
(combined with mention in the release notes) this should clear it up.
Using undocumented flags is a risk because their meaning,
and what combinations are allowed, changes from release to release.
E.g. it is no longer possible to pass (CLEANSTACK | P2SH) without
running into an assertion after the segwit changes.
There were discrepancies between usage of "block chain" and "blockchain", I've changed them to the latter. The reason for this was that Wikipedia when describing this data structure writes "A blockchain — *originally block chain*", so it seemed the more appropriate term.

Replace these with vectors allocated from the secure allocator.
This avoids mlock syscall churn on stack pages, as well as makes
it possible to get rid of these functions.
Please review this commit and the previous one carefully that
no `sizeof(vectortype)` remains in the memcpys and memcmps usage
(ick!), and `.data()` or `&vec[x]` is used as appropriate instead of
&vec.
Change CCrypter to use vectors with secure allocator instead of buffers
on in the object itself which will end up on the stack. This avoids
having to call LockedPageManager to lock stack memory pages to prevent the
memory from being swapped to disk. This is wasteful.

There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.

This concretizes the numbers and adds a comment to make it clear that
these numbers are fixed by the protocol, and may avoid people forgetting
to claim numbers in the future (e.g. issue #8500).
Also gets rid of a weird unused `MSG_TYPE_MAX` in the middle of the
enumeration (thanks @paveljanik for noticing).
This adds a new CValidationInterface subclass, defined in main.h,
to receive notifications of UpdatedBlockTip and use that to push
blocks to peers, instead of doing it directly from
ActivateBestChain.
In anticipation of making all the callbacks out of block processing
flow through it. Note that vHashes will always have something in it
since pindexFork != pindexNewTip.
This fixes a bug where we might (in exceedingly rare circumstances)
accidentally ban a node for sending us the first (potentially few)
segwit blocks in non-segwit mode.

In principle, the checksums of P2P packets are simply 4-byte blobs which
are the first four bytes of SHA256(SHA256(payload)).
Currently they are handled as little-endian 32-bit integers half of the
time, as blobs the other half, sometimes copying the one to the other,
resulting in somewhat confused code.
This PR changes the handling to be consistent both at packet creation
and receiving, making it (I think) easier to understand.
Simplified version of #8278. Assumes that every OS that (a) is supported
by Bitcoin Core (b) supports daemonization has the `daemon()` function
in its C library.
- Removes the fallback path for operating systems that support
daemonization but not `daemon()`. This prevents never-exercised code from
ending up in the repository (see discussion here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8278#issuecomment-242704745).
- Removes the windows-specific path. Windows doesn't support `daemon()`,
so it don't support daemonization there, automatically.

After #8594 the addrFrom sent by a node is not used anymore at all,
so don't bother sending it.
Also mitigates the privacy issue in (#8616). It doesn't completely solve
the issue as GetLocalAddress is also called in AdvertiseLocal, but at
least when advertising addresses it stands out less as *our* address.
This was broken by 63cafa6329.
Note that while this fixes the settings, it doesn't fix the actual usage of
-maxuploadtarget completely, as there is currently a bug in the
nOptimisticBytesWritten accounting that causes a delayed response if the target
is reached. That bug will be addressed separately.
In the case of (for example) an already-running bitcoind, the shutdown sequence
begins before CConnman has been created, leading to a null-pointer dereference
when g_connman->Stop() is called.
Instead, Just let the CConnman dtor take care of stopping.

An example of where this might be useful is allowing a node to connect blocksonly during IBD but then becoming a full-node once caught up with the latest block. This might also even want to be the default behaviour since during IBD most TXs appear to be orphans, and are routinely dropped (for example when a node disconnects). Therefore, this can waste a lot of bandwidth.
Additionally, another pull could be written to stop relaying of TXs to nodes that are clearly far behind the latest block and are running a node that doesn't store many orphan TXs, such as recent versions of Bitcoin Core.
CConnman then passes the current best height into CNode at creation time.
This way CConnman/CNode have no dependency on main for height, and the signals
only move in one direction.
This also helps to prevent identity leakage a tiny bit. Before this change, an
attacker could theoretically make 2 connections on different interfaces. They
would connect fully on one, and only establish the initial connection on the
other. Once they receive a new block, they would relay it to your first
connection, and immediately commence the version handshake on the second. Since
the new block height is reflected immediately, they could attempt to learn
whether the two connections were correlated.
This is, of course, incredibly unlikely to work due to the small timings
involved and receipt from other senders. But it doesn't hurt to lock-in
nBestHeight at the time of connection, rather than letting the remote choose
the time.
This behavior seems to have been quite racy and broken.
Move nLocalHostNonce into CNode, and check received nonces against all
non-fully-connected nodes. If there's a match, assume we've connected
to ourself.
waitfornewblock waits until a new block is received, or the timeout expires, then
returns the current block height/hash.
waitforblock waits for a specific blockhash, or until the timeout expires, then
returns the current block height/hash. If the target blockhash is the current
tip, it will return immediately.
waitforblockheight waits until the tip has reached a certain height or higher,
then returns the current height and hash.
waitforblockheight is used to avoid polling in the rpc tests.
