Dbwrapper used GetSerializeSize() to compute the size of the buffer
to preallocate. For some cases (specifically: CCoins) this requires
a costly compression call. Avoid this by just using fixed size
preallocations instead.
To get the advantages of faster GetSerializeSize() implementations
back that were removed in "Make GetSerializeSize a wrapper on top of
CSizeComputer", reintroduce them in the few places in the form of a
specialized Serialize() implementation. This actually gets us in a
better state than before, as these even get used when they're invoked
indirectly in the serialization of another object.
The CSerAction's ForRead() method does not depend on any runtime
data, so guarantee that requests to it can be optimized out by
making it constexpr.
Suggested by Cory Fields.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
Given that in default GetSerializeSize implementations created by
ADD_SERIALIZE_METHODS we're already using CSizeComputer(), get rid
of the specialized GetSerializeSize methods everywhere, and just use
CSizeComputer. This removes a lot of code which isn't actually used
anywhere.
For CCompactSize and CVarInt this actually removes a more efficient
size computing algorithm, which is brought back in a later commit.
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.

Check for unreasonable alloc size in LockedPool rather than lancing through new
Arenas until we improbably find one worthy of the quixotic request or the system
can support no more Arenas.
- Use the python standard logging library
- Run all tests and report all failing test-cases (rather than stop after one test case fails)
- If output is different from expected output, log a contextual diff.
Refer to the right file in the top-level README.md.
Having only one file with test documentation saves some confusion about
where things are documented.

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.
