152e8baf08 Use salted hasher instead of nonce in sigcache (Jeremy Rubin)
5495fa5850 Add Hash Padding Microbenchmarks (Jeremy Rubin)
Pull request description:
This PR replaces nonces in two places with pre-salted hashers.
The nonce is chosen to be 64 bytes long so that it forces the SHA256 hasher to process the chunk. This leaves the next 64 (or 56 depending if final chunk) open for data. In the case of the script execution cache, this does not make a big performance improvement because the nonce was already properly padded to fit into one buffer, but does make the code a little simpler. In the case of the sig cache, this should reduce the hashing overhead slightly because we are less likely to need an additional processing step.
I haven't benchmarked this, but back of the envelope it should reduce the hashing by one buffer for all combinations except compressed public keys with compact signatures.

fa9c675591 Limit scope of all global std::once_flag (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`once_flag` is a helper (as the name might suggest) to execute a callable only once. Thus, the scope of the flag does never need to extend beyond where the callable is called. Typically this is function scope.
Move all the flags to function scope to
* simplify code review
* avoid mistakes where similarly named flags are accidentally exchanged
* avoid polluting the global scope

Pull request description:
This PR is a follow up to #18038 which introduced the idea of an unbroadcast set & focuses mostly on documentation updates and test fixes. One small functionality update to not throw an expected error in `LoadMempool` when you upgrade software versions.
#18895 is another follow up to that addresses other functionality updates.
Background context:
The unbroadcast set is a mechanism for the mempool to track locally submitted transactions (via wallet or RPC). The node does a best-effort of delivering the transactions to the network via retries every 10-15 minutes until either a `GETDATA` is received or the transaction is removed from the mempool.

In future would recommend using clang-format-diff and following [coding style](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#coding-style-c) notes, because it's atypical to indent namespace content, or indent protected keywords or put spaces around ::. Also it's fragile to define test setup class in a namespace, but test setup methods outside of the namespace and inside the test fixture instead. Would be simpler to just define the testing setup completely before using it without a namespace like: 8ad5f1c376/src/test/rpc_tests.cpp (L23) and it would have been a slightly smaller change too.

Pull request description:
Changes the logic for querying DNS seeds: after this PR, if there's less than 1000 entries in addrman, it will still usually query DNS seeds after 11s (unless the first few peers tried mostly succeed), but if there's more than 1000 entries it won't try DNS seeds until 5 minutes have passed without getting multiple outbound peers. (If there's 0 entries in addrman, it will still immediately query the DNS seeds). Additionally, delays querying DNS seeds while the p2p network is not active.

a06e845e82 BlockTip struct created and connected to notifyHeaderTip and notifyBlockTip signals. (furszy)
2f867203b0 Added best block hash to the NotifyHeaderTip and NotifyBlockTip signals. (furszy)
Pull request description:
Rationale:
The height based polling in the GUI is an issue on chain reorgs. Any new tip signal with the same height as the one that it's cached in the model was not triggering the GUI update (interpreting it as the same same block when it could receive a different one). Ending up with bad information presented in the GUI.
This PR essentially changes the last cached height to be a last cached block hash.
---
Old historical information of this PR.
As the tip height is cached and updated via signaling in clientModel, there is no need to continue locking `cs_main` on every balance poll (`m_node.getNumBlocks()` method call).
Extra topic:
Would suggest to change the `cachedNumBlocks` field inside `walletModel` to a more understandable name, maybe `nLastBalanceUpdateHeight`.
And finally, this will have the equal height reorg issue mentioned [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17905#issuecomment-577324304), whatever is presented to fix it, this should use the same flow too.

e8fa0a3d20 Fix WSL file locking by using flock instead of fcntl (Samuel Dobson)
Pull request description:
Fixes #18622
A bug in WSL means that fcntl does not exclusively lock files, allowing multiple instances of bitcoin to use the same datadir. If we instead use flock, it works correctly. Passes Travis, but testing on some OS variety would be sensible.
From what I can tell, flock and fcntl don't work with each other on linux, so it would still be possible to run a node with this code change and a node before it with the same datadir (this isn't true for Mac/FreeBSD). flock also doesn't support NFS on MacOS and linux<2.6.12 while fcntl did. See here for example: https://gavv.github.io/articles/file-locks/
If changing to flock for all systems is inadvisable, it would also be possible to just detect WSL and use flock when on that platform to avoid the bug.

c3cf2f5501 rpc/blockchain.cpp: Remove g_utxosetscan mutex that is only protecting a single atomic variable (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
In a few cases we need to use `std::mutex` rather than the sync.h primitives. But `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` doesn't include the clang thread safety annotations unless you also use clang's C library, which means you can't indicate when variables should be guarded by `std::mutex` mutexes.
This adds an annotated version of `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` to threadsafety.h to fix that, and modifies places where `std::mutex` is used to take advantage of the annotations.
It's based on top of #16112, and turns the thread safety comments included there into annotations.
It also changes the RAII classes in wallet/wallet.h and rpc/blockchain.cpp to just use the atomic<bool> flag for synchronisation rather than having a mutex that doesn't actually guard anything as well.

c57f03ce17 refactor: Replace const char* to std::string (Calvin Kim)
Pull request description:
Rationale: Addresses #19000
Some functions should be returning std::string instead of const char*.
This commit changes that.
Main benefits/reasoning:
1. The functions never return nullptr, so returning a string makes code at call sites easier to review (reviewers don't have to read the source code to verify that a nullptr is never returned)
2. All call sites convert to string anyway

c87770915b wallettool: Add a salvage command (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
Removes the `-salvagewallet` startup option and adds a `salvage` command to the `bitcoin-wallet` tool. As such, `-salvagewallet` is removed. Additionally, the automatic salvage that is done if the wallet file fails to load is removed.
Lastly the salvage code entirely is moved out entirely into `bitcoin-wallet` from `walletdb.{cpp/h}` and `db.{cpp/h}`.
ACKs for top commit:
jonatack:
ACK 84ae0578b6 feedback taken, and compared to my previous review, the bitcoin-wallet salvage command now seems to run and it exits without raising. The new test passes at both 9454105 and 84ae057 so as a sanity check I'd agree there is room for improvement, if possible.

Code review ACK 84ae0578b6. Lot of small changes since previous review: added verify step before salvage, added basic test in new commit, removed unused scanstate variable and warnings parameter, tweaked various comments and strings, moved fsuccess variable declaration

This only changes network serialization. Disk serialization does not
include the filter_type and is defined in
ReadFilterFromDisk()/WriteFilterToDisk().
