Merge #12549: Make prevector::resize() and other prevector operations much faster 
5aad635 Use memset() to optimize prevector::resize() (Evan Klitzke)
e46be25 Reduce redundant code of prevector and speed it up (Akio Nakamura)
f0e7aa7 Add new prevector benchmarks. (Evan Klitzke)

Pull request description:

  This branch optimizes various `prevector` operations, especially resizing vectors. While profiling the `loadblk` thread I noticed that a lot of time was being spent in `prevector::resize()` which led to this work. I have some data here indicating that it takes up **37%** of the time in `ReadBlockFromDisk()`: https://monad.io/readblockfromdisk.svg

  This branch improves things significantly. For trivial types, the new results for the prevector benchmark are:

   * `PrevectorClearTrivial` which tests `prevector::clear()` becomes 24.6x faster
   * `PrevectorDestructorTrivial` which tests `prevector::~prevector()` becomes 20.5x faster
   * `PrevectorResizeTrivial` which tests `prevector::resize()` becomes 20.3x faster

  Note that in practice it looks like the prevector is only used to contain `unsigned char` types, which is a trivial type. The benchmarks are testing a bit of an extreme case, but the changes here are motivated by the profiling data for `ReadBlockFromDisk()` I linked to above.

  The pull request here consists of a series of three commits:
   * The first adds new benchmarks but does not change the prevector code.
   * The second is from @AkioNak , and merges some prevector optimizations he submitted in #11988
   * The third optimizes `prevector::resize()` to use `memset()` when the prevector contains trivially constructible types

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoin.org/en/download, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

The developer mailing list should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working on a patch set.

Developer IRC can be found on Freenode at #bitcoin-core-dev.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
