d8041d4e04 blockstorage: Return on fatal undo file flush error (TheCharlatan)
f0207e0030 blockstorage: Return on fatal block file flush error (TheCharlatan)
5671c15f45 blockstorage: Mark FindBlockPos as nodiscard (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
The goal of this PR is to establish that fatal blockstorage flush errors should be treated as errors at their call site.
Prior to this patch `FlushBlockFile` may have failed without returning in `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk`, leading to a potential write from `WriteBlockIndexDB` that may refer to a block that is not fully flushed to disk yet. By returning if either `FlushUndoFile` or `FlushBlockFile` fail, we ensure that no further write operations take place that may lead to an inconsistent database when crashing. Add `[[nodiscard]]` annotations to them such that they are not ignored in future.
Functions that call either `FlushUndoFile` or `FlushBlockFile`, need to handle these extra abort cases properly. Since `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk` already produces an abort error in case of `WriteBlockIndexDB` failing, no extra logic for functions calling `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk` is required.
Besides `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk`, `FlushBlockFile` is also called by `FindBlockPos`, while `FlushUndoFile` is only called by `FlushBlockFile` and `WriteUndoDataForBlock`. For both these cases, the flush error is not further bubbled up. Instead, the error is logged and a comment is provided why bubbling up an error would be less desirable in these cases.

This pull request is part of a larger effort towards improving the shutdown / abort / fatal error handling in validation code. It is a first step towards implementing proper fatal error return type enforcement similar as proposed by theuni in this pull request [comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27711#issuecomment-1563561502). For ease of review of these critical changes, a first step would be checking that `AbortNode` leads to early and error-conveying returns at its call site. Further work for enforcing returns when `AbortNode` is called is done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27862.

This was only explicitly used in the tests, where it can be replaced by
wrapping the original raw file pointer into a CAutoFile on creation and
then calling CAutoFile::fclose().
Also, it was used in LoadExternalBlockFile(), where it can also be
replaced by the (implicit call to the) CAutoFile destructor after
wrapping the original raw file pointer in a CAutoFile.

Reduces the effective value of unconfirmed UTXOs by the fees necessary to bump their ancestor transactions to the same feerate.
While the individual UTXOs always account for their full ancestry before coin-selection, we can correct potential overestimates with a second pass where we establish the ancestry and bump fee for the whole input set collectively.

Pull request description:
This removes the non-consensus critical `protocol.h` and `netaddress.h` headers from the kernel headers. With this patch, they are no longer required to include in order to use the libbitcoinkernel library. This also allows for the removal of the `compat.h` header from the kernel headers.
As an added future benefit it also reduces the number of of kernel headers that include the platform specific `bitcoin-config.h`.
For those interested, the currently required kernel headers can be inspected visually with the [sourcetrail](https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail) tool by looking at the required includes of `bitcoin-chainstate.cpp`.

Follow-up from #27021: accessing of fields in MiniMinerMempoolEntry was
done inconsistently. Even though we had a getter, we would directly
write to the fields when we needed to update them.
This commits sets the fields to private and introduces a method for
updating the ancestor information in transactions using the same method
name as used for Mempool Entries.
The protocol.h file contains many non-consensus related definitions and
should thus not be part of the libbitcoinkernel. This commit makes
protocol.h no longer a required include for users of the
libbitcoinkernel.

By returning an error code if either `FlushUndoFile` or `FlushBlockFile`
fail, the caller now has to explicitly handle block undo file flushing
errors. Before this change such errors were non-explicitly ignored
without a clear rationale.
Besides the call to `FlushUndoFile` in `FlushBlockFile`, ignore its
return code at its call site in `WriteUndoDataForBlock`. There, a failed
flush of the undo data should not be indicative of a failed write.
Add [[nodiscard]] annotations to `FlushUndoFile` such that its return
value is not just ignored in the future.
By returning an error code if `FlushBlockFile` fails, the caller now has
to explicitly handle block file flushing errors. Before this change
such errors were non-explicitly ignored without a clear rationale.
Prior to this patch `FlushBlockFile` may have failed silently in
`Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk`. Improve this with a log line. Also add a
TODO comment to flesh out whether returning early in the case of an
error is appropriate or not. Returning early might be appropriate to
prohibit `WriteBlockIndexDB` from writing a block index entry that does
not refer to a fully flushed block.
Besides `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk`, `FlushBlockFile` is also called
by `FindBlockPos`. Don't change the abort behavior there, since we don't
want to fail the function if the flushing of already written blocks
fails. Instead, just document it.
A false return value indicates a fatal error (disk space being too low),
so make sure we always consume this error code.
This commit is part of an ongoing process for making the handling of
fatal errors more transparent and easier to understand.
Previously, the default for acceptnonstdtxn defaulted to 0 on all
chains except testnet. Change this to be consistent across all
chains, and remove the parameter from chainparams entirely.

This change makes IsInitialBlockDownload and NotifyHeaderTip functions no
longer tied to individual Chainstate objects. It makes them work with the
ChainstateManager object instead so code is simpler and it is no longer
possible to call them incorrectly with an inactive Chainstate.
This change also makes m_cached_finished_ibd caching easier to reason about,
because now there is only one cached value instead of two (for background and
snapshot chainstates) so the cached IBD state now no longer gets reset when a
snapshot is loaded.
There should be no change in behavior because these functions were always
called on the active ChainState objects.

Pull request description:
Some future work needs to touch things in script/standard.{h/cpp}, however it is unclear if it is safe to do so as they are included in several different places that could effect standardness and consensus. It contains a mix of policy parameters, consensus parameters, and utilities only used by the wallet. This PR breaks up the various components and renames the files to clearly separate everything.
* `CTxDestination` is moved to a new file `src/addresstype.{cpp/h}`
* `TaprootSpendData` and `TaprootBuilder` (and their utility functions and structs) are moved to `SigningProvider` as these are used only during signing.
* `CScriptID` is moved to `script/script.h` to be next to `CScript`.
* `MANDATORY_SCRIPT_VERIFY_FLAGS` is moved to `interpreter.h`
* The parameters `DEFAULT_ACCEPT_DATACARRIER` and `MAX_OP_RETURN_RELAY` are moved to `policy.h`
* `standard.{cpp/h}` is renamed to `solver.{cpp/h}` since that's all that's left in the file after the above moves

Pull request description:
This PR replaces the `m_recently_announced_invs` bloom filter with a simple sequence number tracking the mempool state when we last considered sending an INV message to a node. This saves 33kB per peer (or more if we raise the rate at which we relay transactions over the network, in which case we would need to increase the size of the bloom filter proportionally).
The philosophy here (compare with #18861 and #19109) is that we consider the rate limiting on INV messages to only be about saving bandwidth and not protecting privacy, and therefore after you receive an INV message, it's immediately fair game to request any transaction that was in the mempool at the time the INV message was sent. We likewise consider the BIP 133 feefilter and BIP 37 bloom filters to be bandwidth optimisations here, and treat transactions as requestable if they would have been announced without those filters. Given that philosophy, tracking the timestamp of the last INV message and comparing that against the mempool entry time allows removal of each of `m_recently_announced_invs`, `m_last_mempool_req` and `UNCONDITIONAL_RELAY_DELAY` and associated logic.

Pull request description:
Leveldb headers are currently included in the `dbwrapper.h` file and thus available to many of Bitcoin Core's source files. However, leveldb-specific functionality should be abstracted by the `dbwrapper` and does not need to be available to the rest of the code. Having leveldb included in a widely-used header such as `dbwrapper.h` bloats the entire project's header tree.
The `dbwrapper` is a key component of the libbitcoinkernel library. Future users of this library would not want to contend with having the leveldb headers exposed and potentially polluting their project's namespace.
For these reasons, the leveldb headers are removed from the `dbwrapper` by moving leveldb-specific code to the implementation file and creating a [pimpl](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/pimpl) where leveldb member variables are indispensable. As a final step, the leveldb include flags are removed from the `BITCOIN_INCLUDES` and moved to places where the dbwrapper is compiled.

Pull request description:
This PR proposes a clean up of the relationship between block storage and the chainstate objects, by moving the decision of whether to store a block on disk to something that is not chainstate-specific. Philosophically, the decision of whether to store a block on disk is related to validation rules that do not require any UTXO state; for anti-DoS reasons we were using some chainstate-specific heuristics, and those have been reworked here to achieve the proposed separation.
This PR also fixes a bug in how a chainstate's `setBlockIndexCandidates` was being initialized; it should always have all the HAVE_DATA block index entries that have more work than the chain tip. During startup, we were not fully populating `setBlockIndexCandidates` in some scenarios involving multiple chainstates.
Further, this PR establishes a concept that whenever we have 2 chainstates, that we always know the snapshotted chain's base block and the base block's hash must be an element of our block index. Given that, we can establish a new invariant that the background validation chainstate only needs to consider blocks leading to that snapshotted block entry as potential candidates for its tip. As a followup I would imagine that when writing net_processing logic to download blocks for the background chainstate, that we would use this concept to only download blocks towards the snapshotted entry as well.

Tree-SHA512: 9ec17746f22b9c27082743ee581b8adceb2bd322fceafa507b428bdcc3ffb8b4c6601fc61cc7bb1161f890c3d38503e8b49474da7b5ab1b1f38bda7aa8668675
Separate the notion of which blocks are stored on disk, and what data is in our
block index, from what tip a chainstate might be able to get to. We can use
chainstate-agnostic data to determine when to store a block on disk (primarily,
an anti-DoS set of criteria) and let the chainstates figure out for themselves
when a block is of interest for being a candidate tip.
Note: some of the invariants in CheckBlockIndex are modified, but more work is
needed (ie to move CheckBlockIndex to ChainstateManager, as most of what
CheckBlockIndex is doing is checking the consistency of the block index, which
is outside of Chainstate).
Block arrival information (and the preciousblock RPC, a related concept) are
both chainstate-agnostic, so these are moved to ChainstateManager. This should
just be a refactor, without any observable behavior changes.
When writing a new block to disk, if we have filled up the current block file,
then we flush and truncate that block file (to free allocated but unused
space) before advancing to the next one. When this happens, we have to
determine whether to also flush and truncate the corresponding undo file.
Undo data is only written when blocks are connected, not when blocks are
received. Thus it's possible that the corresponding undo file already has all
the data it will ever have, and we should flush/truncate it as we advance
files; or it's possible that there is more data we expect to write, and should
therefore defer flush/truncation until undo data is later written.
Prior to this commit, we made the determination of whether the undo file was
full of all requisite data by comparing against the chain tip. This patch
replaces that dependence on validation data structures by instead just tracking
the highest height of any block written in the undo file as we go.
This change drops the last kernel dependency on shutdown.cpp. It also adds new
hooks for libbitcoinkernel applications to be able to interrupt kernel
operations when the chain tip changes.
This is a refactoring that does not affect behavior. (Looking at the code it
can appear like the new break statement in the ActivateBestChain function is a
change in behavior, but actually the previous StartShutdown call was indirectly
triggering a break before, because it was causing m_chainman.m_interrupt to be
true. The new code just makes the break more obvious.)
This has the benefit of moving the StartShutdown call out of the
blockstorage file and thus out of the kernel's responsibility. The user
can now decide if he wants to start shutdown / interrupt after a block
import or not.
