7a8c251901 made this logic hard to follow. After that change, messages would
not be sent to a peer via SendMessages() before the handshake was complete, but
messages could still be sent as a response to an incoming message.
For example, if a peer had not yet sent a verack, we wouldn't notify it about
new blocks, but we would respond to a PING with a PONG.
This change makes the behavior straightforward: until we've received a verack,
never send any message other than version/verack/reject.
The behavior until a VERACK is received has always been undefined, this change
just tightens our policy.
This also makes testing much easier, because we can now connect but not send
version/verack, and anything sent to us is an error.
Prior to this change, all messages were ignored until a VERSION message was
received, as well as possibly incurring a ban score.
Since REJECT messages can be sent at any time (including as a response to a bad
VERSION message), make sure to always parse them.
Moving this parsing up keeps it from being caught in the
if (pfrom->nVersion == 0) check below.
7a8c251901 made a change to avoid getting into SendMessages() until the
version handshake (VERSION + VERACK) is complete. That was done to avoid
leaking out messages to nodes who could connect, but never bothered sending
us their version/verack.
Unfortunately, the ban tally and possible disconnect are done as part of
SendMessages(). So after 7a8c251901, if a peer managed to do something
bannable before completing the handshake (say send 100 non-version messages
before their version), they wouldn't actually end up getting
disconnected/banned. That's fixed here by checking the banscore as part of
ProcessMessages() in addition to SendMessages().

When importing a watch-only address over importmulti with a specific timestamp,
the wallet's nTimeFirstKey is currently set to 1. After this change, the
provided timestamp will be used and stored as metadata associated with
watch-only key. This can improve wallet performance because it can avoid the
need to scan the entire blockchain for watch only addresses when timestamps are
provided.
Also adds timestamp to validateaddress return value (needed for tests).
Fixes#9034.
Additionally, accept a "now" timestamp, to allow avoiding rescans for keys
which are known never to have been used.
Note that the behavior when "now" is specified is slightly different than the
previous behavior when no timestamp was specified at all. Previously, when no
timestamp was specified, it would avoid rescanning during the importmulti call,
but set the key's nCreateTime value to 1, which would not prevent future block
reads in later ScanForWalletTransactions calls. With this change, passing a
"now" timestamp will set the key's nCreateTime to the current block time
instead of 1.
Fixes#9491
These are (afaik) all long-standing races or concurrent accesses. Going
forward, we can clean these up so that they're not all individual atomic
accesses.

- Make some vars atomic.

Minimum boost version was bumped to 1.47.0 in #8920, which
means the configure step won't even pass with older boost.
This version has boost filesystem v3, which means the
(crappy) fallbacks for older versions can go.
If a timeout happens while reading the proxy response, this effectively
means we timed out while connecting to the remote node. This is very
common for Tor, so do not print an error message.

Preserve comment, order form, and account strings from the original wallet
transaction. Also set fTimeReceivedIsTxTime and fFromMe fields for consistency
with CWallet::CreateTransaction. The latter two fields don't influence current
wallet behavior, but do record that the transaction originated in the wallet
instead of coming from the network or sendrawtransaction.
This silently skips trying to merge signatures from inputs which
do not exist from transactions provided to signrawtransaction,
instead of hitting an assert.
Since ForEach* are can be used to send messages to all nodes, the caller may
end up sending a message before the version handshake is complete. To limit
this, filter out these nodes. While we're at it, may as well filter out
disconnected nodes as well.
Delete unused methods rather than updating them.
This avoids having some vars set if the version negotiation fails.
Also copy it all into CNode at the same site. nVersion and
fSuccessfullyConnected are set last, as they are the gates for the other vars.
Make them atomic for that reason.
Once the CNode has been added to vNodes, it is possible that it is
disconnected+deleted in the socket handler thread. However, after
that we now call InitializeNode, which accesses the pnode.
helgrind managed to tickle this case (somehow), but I suspect it
requires in immensely braindead scheduler.
More accurate than simply adding one byte per input, and properly handles the
case where the original transaction happened to have very small signatures

5b15870 Use incrementalRelayFee for BIP 125 replacement (Alex Morcos)
The result value indicates the actual fee on the transaction that was replaced. But there is an error message which uses the description 'oldfee' to refer to the original fee rate applied to the new transaction's estimated max size. It was confusing that two different uses of 'oldfee' had two different numeric values.
Have wallet's default bump value be higher than the default incrementalRelayFee to future proof against changes to incremental relay fee. Only applies when not setting the fee rate directly.
Use the wallet's fee calculation logic to properly clamp fee against minimums and maximums when calculating the fee for a bumpfee transaction. Unless totalFee is explictly given, in which case, manually check against min, but do nothing to adjust given fee.
In all cases do a final check against maxTxFee (after adding any incremental amount).
Before this commit, the checkbox would always start off unchecked. After this
commit it will respect the -walletrbf setting (which is currently false by
default).
The use of mocktime in test logic means that comparisons between
GetTime() and GetTimeMicros()/1000000 are unreliable since the former
can use mocktime values while the latter always gets the system clock;
this changes the networking code's inactivity checks to consistently
use the system clock for inactivity comparisons.
Also remove some hacks from setmocktime() that are no longer needed,
now that we're using the system clock for nLastSend and nLastRecv.

376b3c2 Make the cs_sendProcessing a LOCK instead of a TRY_LOCK (Matt Corallo)
d7c58ad Split CNode::cs_vSend: message processing and message sending (Matt Corallo)
This command allows a user to increase the fee on a wallet transaction T, creating a "bumper" transaction B.
T must signal that it is BIP-125 replaceable.
T's change output is decremented to pay the additional fee. (B will not add inputs to T.)
T cannot have any descendant transactions.
Once B bumps T, neither T nor B's outputs can be spent until either T or (more likely) B is mined.
Includes code by @jonasschnelli and @ryanofsky
This forces the message handling thread to make another full

Technically cs_sendProcessing is entirely useless now because it
is only ever taken on the one MessageHandler thread, but because
there may be multiple of those in the future, it is left in place
cs_vSend is used for two purposes - to lock the datastructures used
to queue messages to place on the wire and to only call
SendMessages once at a time per-node. I believe SendMessages used
to access some of the vSendMsg stuff, but it doesn't anymore, so
these locks do not need to be on the same mutex, and also make
deadlocking much more likely.

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.
vRecvMsg is now only touched by the socket handler thread.
The accounting vars (nRecvBytes/nLastRecv/mapRecvBytesPerMsgCmd) are also
only used by the socket handler thread, with the exception of queries from
rpc/gui. These accesses are not threadsafe, but they never were. This needs to
be addressed separately.
Also, update comment describing data flow
Similar to the recv flag, but this one indicates whether or not the net's send
buffer is full.
The socket handler checks the send queue when a new message is added and pauses
if necessary, and possibly unpauses after each message is drained from its buffer.
Messages are dumped very quickly from the socket handler to the processor, so
it's the depth of the processing queue that's interesting.
The socket handler checks the process queue's size during the brief message
hand-off and pauses if necessary, and the processor possibly unpauses each time
a message is popped off of its queue.
In order to sleep accurately, the message handler needs to know if _any_ node
has more processing that it should do before the entire thread sleeps.
Rather than returning a value that represents whether ProcessMessages
encountered a message that should trigger a disconnnect, interpret the return
value as whether or not that node has more work to do.
Also, use a global fProcessWake value that can be set by other threads,
which takes precedence (for one cycle) over the messagehandler's decision.
Note that the previous behavior was to only process one message per loop
(except in the case of a bad checksum or invalid header). That was changed in
PR #3180.
The only change here in that regard is that the current node now falls to the
back of the processing queue for the bad checksum/invalid header cases.
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.

There is still a call to ActivateBestChain with cs_main if a peer
requests the block prior to it being validated, but this one is
more specifically-gated, so should be less of an issue.
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.

032ba3f RPC help documentation for addnode peerinfo. (Gregory Maxwell)
90f13e1 Add release notes for addnode changes. (Gregory Maxwell)
50bd12c Break addnode out from the outbound connection limits. (Gregory Maxwell)
On repeated calls to SelectCoins we try to meet the fee necessary for the last transaction, the new fee required might be smaller, so increase our change by the difference if we can.
Once we've picked coins and dummy-signed the transaction to calculate fee, if we don't have sufficient fee, then try to meet the fee by reducing change before resorting to picking new coins.
Previously addnodes were in competition with outbound connections
for access to the eight outbound slots.
One result of this is that frequently a node with several addnode
configured peers would end up connected to none of them, because
while the addnode loop was in its two minute sleep the automatic
connection logic would fill any free slots with random peers.
This is particularly unwelcome to users trying to maintain links
to specific nodes for fast block relay or purposes.
Another result is that a group of nine or more nodes which are
have addnode configured towards each other can become partitioned
from the public network.
This commit introduces a new limit of eight connections just for
addnode peers which is not subject to any of the other connection
limitations (including maxconnections).
The choice of eight is sufficient so that under no condition would
a user find themselves connected to fewer addnoded peers than
previously. It is also low enough that users who are confused
about the significance of more connections and have gotten too
copy-and-paste happy will not consume more than twice the slot
usage of a typical user.
Any additional load on the network resulting from this will likely
be offset by a reduction in users applying even more wasteful
workaround for the prior behavior.
The retry delays are reduced to avoid nodes sitting around without
their added peers up, but are still sufficient to prevent overly
aggressive repeated connections. The reduced delays also make
the system much more responsive to the addnode RPC.
Ban-disconnects are also exempted for peers added via addnode since
the outbound addnode logic ignores bans. Previously it would ban
an addnode then immediately reconnect to it.
A minor change was also made to CSemaphoreGrant so that it is
possible to re-acquire via an object whos grant was moved.
Performing signing in the inner loop has terrible performance
when many passes through are needed to complete the selection.
Signing before the algorithm is complete also gets in the way
of correctly setting the fee (e.g. preventing over-payment when
the fee required goes down on the final selection.)
Use of the dummy might overpay on the signatures by a couple bytes
in uncommon cases where the signatures' DER encoding is smaller
than the dummy: Who cares?
In order to do this, we must call ActivateBestChain prior to
responding getdata requests for blocks which we announced using
compact blocks.
For getheaders responses we dont need code changes, but do note
that we must reset the bestHeaderSent so that the SendMessages call
re-announces the header in question.
While we could do something smarter for getblocks, calling
ActivateBestChain is simple and more obviously correct, instead of
doing something more similar to getheaders.

The [JSON-RPC specification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) allows passing parameters as an Array, for by-position
arguments, or an Object, for by-name arguments.
This implements by-name arguments, but preserves full backwards compatibility. API using by-name arguments are
easier to extend, and easier to use (no need to guess which argument goes where).
Named are mapped to positions by a per-call structure, provided through the RPC command table.
Missing arguments will be replaced by null, except if at the end, then the argument is left out completely.
Currently calls fail (though not crash) on intermediate nulls, but this should be improved on a per-call basis later.

Make a more conservative notion of whether the node is caught up to the rest of the network and only count transactions as fee estimation data points if the node is caught up.
All decisions about whether the transactions are valid data points are made at the time the transaction arrives. Updating on blocks all the time will now cause stale fee estimates to decay quickly when we restart a node.
Fee estimation can just check its own mapMemPoolTxs to determine the same information. Note that now fee estimation for block processing must happen before those transactions are removed, but this shoudl be a speedup.
This was an oversight, where blocks and mempool tracking were ignored during IBD, but transactions that arrived during IBD but were included in blocks after IBD were not ignored.
Once priority estimation was removed, not all transactions in the mempool are tracked in the fee estimation mempool tracking. So there is no error if a transaction is not found for removal.
We were marking coins FRESH before being sure they were not overwriting dirty undo data. This condition was never reached in existing code because undo data was always flushed before UpdateCoins was called with new transactions, but could have been exposed in an otherwise safe refactor.
Clarify in the comments the assumptions made in ModifyNewCoins.
Add ability to undo transactions to UpdateCoins unit test.
Thanks to Russ Yanofsky for suggestion on how to make logic clearer and fixing up the ccoins_modify_new test cases.
Surprisingly this hasn't been causing me any issues while testing, probably
