glibc-specific: On 32-bit systems set the number of arenas to 1. By
default, since glibc 2.10, the C library will create up to two heap
arenas per core. This is known to cause excessive virtual address space
usage in our usage. Work around it by setting the maximum number of
arenas to 1.
This adds a mode argument to `getmemoryinfo`. By default the output
will remain the same. However if a mode argument of `mallocinfo` is
provided the result of glibc `malloc_info` (if available) will
be returned as a string, as-is.
This is useful for tracking heap usage over time or troubleshooting
memory fragmentation issues.
Instead of the WIN32-specific workaround, detect lack of `MSG_DONTWAIT`
in the build system. This allows other platforms without `MSG_DONTWAIT`
to work too.
These are available in sandboxes without access to files or
devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls)
to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge
cases:
- Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html)
was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel.
- OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2)
function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added
but it has existed for quite a while.
Alternatives:
- Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID`
which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available
on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/)
and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it.
Add tests for `GetOSRand()`:
- Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts)
- Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times)
Discussion:
- When to use these? Currently they are always used when available.
Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not
available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing,
and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`.

OBJCXX's std flags don't get defined by our cxx macro. Rather than hard-coding
to c++11, just force OBJCXX to be the same as CXX unless the user specified
otherwise.
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.
Original code by Matthew King, adapted by Wladimir van der Laan.
- LevelDB platform was not guessed correctly (it ended up defining
`-DOS_OPENBSD59` instead of `-DOS_OPENBSD`)
- On OpenBSD there is no convenience link from `python3.5` to `python3`:
add detection for other python interpreter names.
- If it has to guess the LevelDB OS, print a autoconf warning so that
the user can check.

We don't use any elliptic curves from OpenSSL anymore, nor include this
header anywhere but optionally in the tests of secp256k1 (which has
its own autoconf setup).
Reported by sinetek on IRC.
- guard PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG with an m4_ifdef. If not building for windows,
require it
- add nops as necessary in case the ifdef reduces the if/then to nothing
- AC_SUBST some missing _LIBS. These were split out over time, but not all were
properly substituted. They continued to work if pkg-config is installed
because it does the AC_SUBST itself
- create a script to handle split debug. This will also eventually need to check
targets, and use dsymutil for osx.
- update config.guess/config.sub for bdb for aarch64.
- temporarily disable symbol checks for arm/aarch64
- quit renaming to linux32/linux64 and use the host directly
This also adds a hack to work around an Ubuntu bug in the gcc-multilib package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults-armhf-cross/+bug/1347820
The problem is that gcc-multilib conflicts with the aarch toolchain.
gcc-multilib installs a symlink that points
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
Without this link, gcc -m32 can't find asm/errno.h (and others), since
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu isn't in its default include path. But
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu is (though it doesn't exist on disk).
So work around the problem by linking
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
The symlink fix is actually quite reasonable, but echoing the password into
sudo is nasty, and should probably be addressed in gitian itself. It makes more
sense to enable passwordless sudo for the build user by default.
