This clarifies a bit more the ways in which the new script execution
cache could break consensus in the future if additional data from
the CCoins object were to be used as a part of script execution.
After this change, any such consensus breaks should be very visible
to reviewers, hopefully ensuring no such changes can be made.
The earlier CTxInUndo class now holds the same information as the Coin
class. Instead of duplicating functionality, replace CTxInUndo with a
serialization adapter for Coin.
Previously, transaction metadata (height, coinbase or not, and before
the previous commit also nVersion) was only stored for undo records
that correspond to the last output of a transaction being spent.
This only saves 2 bytes per undo record. Change this to storing this
information for every undo record, and stop complaining for having it
in non-last output spends. This means that undo dat written with
this patch won't be readable by older versions anymore.
This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
before.
This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.
Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.
This is necessary later, when we drop the nVersion field from the undo
data. At that point deserializing and reserializing the data won't
roundtrip anymore, and thus that approach can't be used to verify
checksums anymore.
With this CHashVerifier approach, we can deserialize while hashing the
exact serialized form that was used. This is both more efficient and
more correct in that case.
The error() function unconditionally reports an error. It should only
be used for actually exception situations, and not for the type of
inconsistencies that ApplyTxInUndo/DisconnectBlock can graciously deal
with.
This also makes a subtle semantics change: in ApplyTxInUndo, when a
record with metadata is encountered (indicating it is the last spend
from a tx), don't wipe the CCoins record if it wasn't empty at that
point. This makes sure that UTXO operations never affect any other
UTXOs (including those from the same tx).

Rather than re-add disconnected block transactions back to the mempool
immediately, store them in a separate disconnectpool for later processing,
because we expect most such transactions to reappear in the chain that is
still to be connected (and thus we can avoid the work of reprocessing those
transactions through the mempool altogether).
DisconnectBlock currently has a complicated interface:
Situation Return value
pfClean != nullptr pfClean == nullptr
All good: true true
Failure: false false
Unclean rewind: true false
with *pfClean=false
Change this to return a tristate enum instead. As an added bonus,
remove the ValidationState& argument which was unused.

This removes another callback from block connection logic, making it
easier to reason about the wallet-RPCs-returns-stale-info issue.
UpdatedTransaction was previously used by the GUI to display
coinbase transactions only after they have a block built on top of
them. This worked fine for in most cases, but only worked due to a
corner case if the user received a coinbase payout in a block
immediately prior to restart. In that case, the normal process of
caching the most recent coinbase transaction's hash would not work,
and instead it would only work because of the on-load -checkblocks
calling DisconnectBlock and ConnectBlock on the current tip.
In order to make this more robust, a full mapWallet loop after the
first block which is connected after restart was added.

This simplifies fixing the wallet-returns-stale-info issue as we
can now hold cs_wallet across an entire block instead of only
per-tx (though we only actually do so in the next commit).
This change also removes the NOT_IN_BLOCK constant in favor of only
passing the CBlockIndex* parameter to SyncTransactions when a new
block is being connected, instead of also when a block is being
disconnected.
This change adds a parameter to BlockConnectedDisconnected which
lists the transactions which were removed from mempool due to
confliction as a result of this operation. While its somewhat of a
shame to make block-validation-logic generate a list of mempool
changes to be included in its generated callbacks, fixing this isnt
too hard.
Further in this change-set, CValidationInterface starts listening
to mempool directly, placing it in the middle and giving it a bit
of logic to know how to route notifications from block-validation,
mempool, etc (though not listening for conflicted-removals yet).

This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
Since we are more accurately measuring pcoinsTip peak usage at twice the current in dynamic usage, it makes sense to double the default (this will lead to the same effective usage and peak usage as previously).
We should also double the buffer used to avoid flushing if above 90% but still sufficient space remaining.

This a breaking API change to the prioritisetransaction RPC call which previously required exactly three arguments and now requires exactly two (hash and feeDelta). The function prioritiseTransaction is also updated.
Remove -limitfreerelay and always enforce minRelayTxFee in the mempool (except from disconnected blocks)
Remove -relaypriority, the option was only used for the ability to allow free transactions to be relayed regardless of their priority. Both notions no longer apply.
Fixes a bug in AcceptBlock() in invoking CheckBlock() with incorrect
arguments, and restores a call to CheckBlock() from ProcessNewBlock()
as belt-and-suspenders.
Updates the (overspecified) tests to match behavior.

Analogue to ConnectTrace that tracks transactions that have been removed from the mempool due to conflicts and then passes them through SyncTransaction at the end of its scope.
Add notification signals to make it possible to subscribe to mempool
changes:
- NotifyEntryAdded(CTransactionRef)>
- NotifyEntryRemoved(CTransactionRef, MemPoolRemovalReason)>
Also add a mempool removal reason enumeration, which is passed to the
removed notification based on why the transaction was removed from
the mempool.

This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints.
A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos
ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check
them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks
worth of work.
Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set
it to a block with an invalid history. Because of this it can be
easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus.
This results in a massive IBD speedup.
This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr
since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the
verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives.
The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older
releases will sync slower. On the plus side users can provide their
own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will
happen is more time will be spend validating signatures.
Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options:
Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need
to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as
influencing security or IBD speed. By hiding them we offset the
space added by this new option.
In spite of the name FindLatestBefore used std::lower_bound to try
to find the earliest block with a nTime greater or equal to the
the requested value. But lower_bound uses bisection and requires
the input to be ordered with respect to the comparison operation.
Block times are not well ordered.
I don't know what lower_bound is permitted to do when the data
is not sufficiently ordered, but it's probably not good.
(I could construct an implementation which would infinite loop...)
To resolve the issue this commit introduces a maximum-so-far to the
block indexes and searches that.
For clarity the function is renamed to reflect what it actually does.
An issue that remains is that there is no grace period in importmulti:
If a address is created at time T and a send is immediately broadcast
and included by a miner with a slow clock there may not yet have been
any block with at least time T.
The normal rescan has a grace period of 7200 seconds, but importmulti
does not.
AcceptToMemoryPool has several classes of return false statements.
- return state.Invalid or state.DoS directly itself
- return false and set fMissingInputs (state is valid)
- return false and state is set by failed CheckTransaction
- return false and state is set by failed CheckInputs.
This commit patches the last case where the state variable was reused for additional calls to CheckInputs to identify witness stripping as cause of validation failure. After this commit, it should be the case that if !fMissingInputs, state is always Invalid if AcceptToMemoryPool returns false.
