This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in
individual calls with okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables,
which is not a concern for the RPC server.

This commit just moves a few function declarations and updates callers.
Function bodies are moved in two followup MOVEONLY commits.
This change is desirable because wallet.h/cpp are monolithic and hard to
navigate, so pulling things out and grouping together pieces of related
functionality should improve the organization.
Another proximate motivation is the wallet process separation work in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10973, where (at least initially)
parameter parsing and fee estimation are still done in the main process rather
than the wallet process, and having functions that run in different processes
scrambled up throughout wallet.cpp is unnecessarily confusing.
Safemode is almost useless as is-- it only triggers in limited
cases most of which aren't even concerning. There have been
several proposals to remove it. But as a simpler, safer, and
more flexible first case, simply deactivate it by default.
Anyone who wants it can re-enable and know what they've signed up for.
This fixes a few cases where we should be treating a restart-after-
coinsviewdb-reset identically to a just-reset-coinsviewdb.
Thanks to @morcos for identifying the bug.
This more clearly uses fReindex vs fReset to make sure we're not
clearing our coinsdb needlessly when restarting after a reindex.
It also makes it so that restarting after shutting down mid-reindex
isn't treates specially at all during txdb loading code, as it
shouldn't be.
* Order chainstate init more logically - first all of the
blocktree-related loading, then coinsdb, then
pcoinsTip/chainActive. Only create objects as needed.
* More clearly document exactly what is and isn't called in
-reindex and -reindex-chainstate both with comments noting
calls as no-ops and by adding if guards.
* Move LoadGenesisBlock further down in init. This is a more logical
location for it, as it is after all of the blockindex-related
loading and checking, but before any of the UTXO-related loading
and checking.
* Move all of the VerifyDB()-related stuff into a -reindex +
-reindex-chainstate if guard. It couldn't do anything useful
as chainActive.Tip() would be null at this point anyway.
RewindBlockIndex works over both chainActive - disconnecting blocks
from the tip that need witness verification - and mapBlockIndex -
requiring redownload of blocks missing witness data.
It should never have been the case that the second half is skipped
if we're about to run -reindex-chainstate.
This gives LoadChainTip a return value - allowing it to indicate that
the UTXO DB ran ahead of the block DB. This just provides a nicer
error message instead of the previous mysterious
assert(!setBlockIndexCandidates.empty()) error.
This also calls ActivateBestChain in case we just loaded the genesis
block in LoadChainTip, avoiding relying on the ActivateBestChain
in ThreadImport before continuing init process.
* Move the writing of fTxIndex to LoadBlockIndex - this fixes a
bug introduced in d6af06d68a where
InitBlockIndex was writing to fTxIndex which had not yet been
checked (because LoadChainTip hadn't yet initialized the
chainActive, which would otherwise have resulted in
InitBlockIndex being a NOP), allowing you to modify -txindex
without reindex, potentially corrupting your chainstate!
* Rename InitBlockIndex to LoadGenesisBlock, which is now a more
natural name for it. Also check mapBlockIndex instead of
chainActive, fixing a bug where we'd write the genesis block out
on every start.
Alternative to #10818, alternative solution to #10815.
After this change: All the AppInit steps before and inclusive
AppInitLockDataDirectory must not have Shutdown() called in case of
failure. Only when AppInitMain fails, Shutdown should be called.
Changes the GUI and bitcoind code to consistently do this.
This redefines dust to be the value of an output such that it would
cost that value in fees to (create and) spend the output at the dust
relay rate. The previous definition was that it would cost 1/3 of the
value. The default dust relay rate is correspondingly increased to
3000 sat/kB so the actual default dust output value of 546 satoshis
for a non-segwit output remains unchanged. This commit is a refactor
only unless a dustrelayfee is passed on the commandline in which case
that number now needs to be increased by a factor of 3 to get the same
behavior. -dustrelayfee is a hidden command line option.
Note: It's not exactly a refactor due to edge case changes in rounding
as evidenced by the required change to the unit test.
Note that the CScheduler thread cant be running at this point,
it has already been stopped with the rest of the init threadgroup.
Thus, just calling any remaining loose callbacks during Shutdown()
is sane.
Fixes:
init.cpp: In function ‘bool AppInitMain(boost::thread_group&, CScheduler&)’:
init.cpp:1499:56: warning: ‘nStart’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
LogPrintf(" block index %15dms\n", GetTimeMillis() - nStart);
^
This requires that we not access pcoinsTip in InitBlockIndex's
FlushStateToDisk (so we just skip it until later in AppInitMain)
and the LoadChainTip in LoadBlockIndex (which there is already one
later in AppinitMain, after ReplayBlocks, so skipping it there is
fine).
Includes some simplifications by Suhas Daftuar and Pieter Wuille.
Part of a series of changes to clean up the instantiation of connman
by decoupling the command line arguments.
We also now abort with an error when explicit binds are set with
-listen=0.
Use case: TryCreateDirectory(GetDataDir() / "blocks" / "index") would
fail if the blocks directory was not explicitly created before.
The line that did so was in a weird location and could be removed as a
result.
CCoinsViewCache doesn't actually support cursor iteration returning the
current contents of the cache, so raise an error when the cursor method is
called instead of returning a cursor that iterates over stale data.
Also update the gettxoutsetinfo RPC which was relying on the old behavior to be
explicit about which view it is returning data about.
This adds a new CuckooCache in validation, caching whether all of a
transaction's scripts were valid with a given set of script flags.
Unlike previous attempts at caching an entire transaction's
validity, which have nearly universally introduced consensus
failures, this only caches the validity of a transaction's
scriptSigs. As these are pure functions of the transaction and
data it commits to, this should be much safer.
This is somewhat duplicative with the sigcache, as entries in the
new cache will also have several entries in the sigcache. However,
the sigcache is kept both as ATMP relies on it and because it
prevents malleability-based DoS attacks on the new higher-level
cache. Instead, the -sigcachesize option is re-used - cutting the
sigcache size in half and using the newly freed memory for the
script execution cache.
Transactions which match the script execution cache never even have
entries in the script check thread's workqueue created.
Note that the cache is indexed only on the script execution flags
and the transaction's witness hash. While this is sufficient to
make the CScriptCheck() calls pure functions, this introduces
dependancies on the mempool calculating things such as the
PrecomputedTransactionData object, filling the CCoinsViewCache, etc
in the exact same way as ConnectBlock. I belive this is a reasonable
assumption, but should be noted carefully.
In a rather naive benchmark (reindex-chainstate up to block 284k
with cuckoocache always returning true for contains(),
-assumevalid=0 and a very large dbcache), this connected blocks
~1.7x faster.
This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
