533eab7d67 bugfix: Streamline setting reindex option (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
When restarting `bitcoind` during an ongoing reindex without setting the `-reindex` flag again, the block and coins db is left intact, but any data from the optional indexes is discarded. While not a bug per se, wiping the data again is
wasteful, both in terms of having to write it again, as well as potentially leading to longer startup times. So keep the index data instead when continuing a prior reindex.
Also includes a bugfix and smaller code cleanups around the reindexing code. The bug was introduced in b47bd95920: "kernel: De-globalize fReindex".

This is a just a mechanical change, renaming and inverting the meaning
of the indexing variable.
"m_blockfiles_indexed" is a more straightforward name for this variable
because this variable just indicates whether or not
<datadir>/blocks/blk?????.dat files have been indexed in the
<datadir>/blocks/index LevelDB database. The name "m_reindexing" was
more confusing, it could be true even if -reindex was not specified, and
false when it was specified. Also, the previous name unnecessarily
required thinking about the whole reindexing process just to understand
simple checks in validation code about whether blocks were indexed.
The motivation for this change is to follow up on previous commits,
moving away from having multiple variables called "reindex" internally,
and instead naming variables individually after what they do and
represent.
Drop confusing kernel options:
BlockManagerOpts::reindex
ChainstateLoadOptions::reindex
ChainstateLoadOptions::reindex_chainstate
Replacing them with more straightforward options:
ChainstateLoadOptions::wipe_block_tree_db
ChainstateLoadOptions::wipe_chainstate_db
Having two options called "reindex" which did slightly different things
was needlessly confusing (one option wiped the block tree database, and
the other caused block files to be rescanned). Also the previous set of
options did not allow rebuilding the block database without also
rebuilding the chainstate database, when it should be possible to do
those independently.

The second attempt at implementing the `dumptxoutset` space optimization as suggested in #25675. Closes #25675.
This builds on the work done in #26045, addresses open feedback, adds some further improvements (most importantly usage of compact size), documentation, and an additional test.

This also enhances the metadata of the output file and adds the following data to allow for better error handling and make future upgrades easier:
- A newly introduced utxo set magic
- A version number
- The network magic
- The block height

0d114e3cb2 blockstorage: Add Assume for fKnown / snapshot chainstate (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
`SaveBlockToDisk` / `FindBlockPos` are used for two purposes, depending on whether they are called during reindexing (`dbp` set, `fKnown = true`) or in the "normal" case when adding new blocks (`dbp == nullptr`, `fKnown = false`).
The actual tasks are quite different
- In normal mode, preparations for saving a new block are made, which is then saved: find the correct position on disk (maybe skipping to a new blk file), check for available disk space, update the blockfile info db, save the block.
- during reindex, most of this is not necessary (the block is already on disk after all), only the blockfile info needs to rebuilt because reindex wiped the leveldb it's saved in.
Using one function with many conditional statements for this leads to code that is hard to read / understand and bug-prone:
- many code paths in `FindBlockPos` are conditional on `fKnown` or `!fKnown`
- It's not really clear what actually needs to be done during reindex (we don't need to "save a block to disk" or "find a block pos" as the function names suggest)
- logic that should be applied to only one of the two modes is sometimes applied to both (see first commit, or #27039)
#24858 and #27039 were recent bugs directly related to the differences between reindexing and normal mode, and in both cases the simple fix took a long time to be reviewed and merged.
This PR proposes to clean this code up by splitting out the reindex logic into a separate function (`UpdateBlockInfo`) which will be called directly from validation. As a result, `SaveBlockToDisk` and `FindBlockPos` only need to cover the non-reindex logic.

Previously, it was possible to move the cursor back to an older file
during reindex if blocks are enocuntered out of order during reindex.
This would mean that MaxBlockfileNum() would be incorrect, and
a wrong DB_LAST_BLOCK could be written to disk.
This improves the logic by only ever moving the cursor forward (if possible)
but not backwards.
Co-authored-by: Martin Zumsande <mzumsande@gmail.com>
The new name reflects that it is no longer called with existing blocks
for which the position is already known.
Returning a FlatFilePos directly simplifies the interface.
By calling SaveBlockToDisk only when we actually want to save a new
block to disk. In the reindex case, we now call UpdateBlockInfo
directly from validation.
This commit doesn't change behavior.
FindBlockPos does different things depending on whether the block is known
or not, as shown by the fact that much of the existing code is conditional on fKnown set or not.
If the block position is known (during reindex) the function only updates the block info
statistics. It doesn't actually find a block position in this case.
This commit removes fKnown and splits up these two code paths by introducing a separate function
for the reindex case when the block position is known.
It doesn't change behavior.
d4b17c7d46 kernel: Remove batchpriority from kernel library (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
The current usage of ScheduleBatchPriority is not transparent. Once the thread scheduling is changed, it remains unchanged for the remainder of the thread's lifetime. So move the call from `ImportBlocks` to the init code where it is clearer that its effect lasts for the entire lifetime of the thread.
Users of the kernel library might not expect `ImportBlocks` to have an influence on the thread it is called in. Particularly since it is only a compile time option and cannot be controlled at runtime. With this patch users of the kernel library can now freely choose their own scheduling policy.

The key module's functionality is not used by the kernel library, but
currently kernel users are still required to initialize the key module's
`secp256k1_context_sign` global as part of the `kernel::Context` through
`ECC_Start`.
fKnown is true during reindex (and only then), which deletes
any existing snapshot chainstate. As a result, this function can never
be called wth fKnown set and a snapshot chainstate.
Add an Assume for this, and make the code initializing a blockfile cursor
for the snapshot conditional on !fKnown.
This is a preparation for splitting the reindex logic out of
FindBlockPos in the following commits.
fa09451f8e Add lint check for bitcoin-config.h include IWYU pragma (MarcoFalke)
dddd40ba82 scripted-diff: Add IWYU pragma keep to bitcoin-config.h includes (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `bitcoin-config.h` includes have issues:
* The header is incompatible with iwyu, because symbols may be defined or not defined. So the `IWYU pragma: keep` is needed to keep the include when a symbol is not defined on a platform. Compare the previous discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29408#issuecomment-1948959711
* Guarding the includes by `HAVE_CONFIG_H` is verbose and brittle. Now that all build config dependencies have been removed from low level headers, the benefits are questionable, and the guard can be removed. The linter could also be tricked by guarding the include by `#if defined(HAVE_C0NFIG_H)` (`O` replaced by `0`).

The RPC documentation for `getblockchaininfo`, `getmininginfo` and
`getnetworkinfo` states that "warnings" returns "any network and
blockchain warnings". In practice, only a single warning is returned.
Fix that by returning all warnings as an array.
As a side benefit, cleans up the GetWarnings() logic.

Pull request description:
[An earlier approach](1d226ae1f9/) in #28956 involved simplifying and refactoring the network-adjusted time calculation logic, but this was eventually [left out](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28956#issuecomment-1904214370) of the PR to make it easier for reviewers to focus on consensus logic changes.
Since network-adjusted time is now only used for warning/informational purposes, cleaning up the logic (building on @dergoegge's approach in #28956) should be quite straightforward and uncontroversial. The main changes are:
- Previously, we would only calculate the time offset from the first 199 outbound peers that we connected to. This limitation is now removed, and we have a proper rolling calculation. I've reduced the set to 50 outbound peers, which seems plenty.
- Previously, we would automatically use the network-adjusted time if the difference was < 70 mins, and warn the user if the difference was larger than that. Since there is no longer any automated time adjustment, I've changed the warning threshold to ~~20~~ 10 minutes (which is an arbitrary number).
- Previously, a warning would only be raised once, and then never again until node restart. This behaviour is now updated to 1) warn to log for every new outbound peer for as long as we appear out of sync, 2) have the RPC warning toggled on/off whenever we go in/out of sync, and 3) have the GUI warn whenever we are out of sync (again), but limited to 1 messagebox per 60 minutes
- no more globals
- remove the `-maxtimeadjustment` startup arg

This helper class is an alternative to CMedianFilter, but without a
lot of the special logic and exceptions that we needed while it was
still used for consensus.
The extra `bilingual_str` argument of the fatal error notifications and
`node::AbortNode()` is often unused and when used usually contains the
same string as the message argument. It also seems to be confusing,
since it is not consistently used for errors requiring user action. For
example some assumeutxo fatal errors require the user to do something,
but are not translated.
So simplify the fatal error and abort node interfaces by only passing a
translated string. This slightly changes the fatal errors displayed to
the user.
Also de-duplicate the abort error log since it is repeated in noui.cpp.
dfcef536d0 blockstorage: do not flush block to disk if it is already there (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2039
When reindexing from flat-file block storage there is no need to write anything back to disk, since the block data is already there. This PR skips flushing to disk those blocks that already have a known position in the datastore. Skipping this means that users can write-protect the `blk` files on disk which may be useful for security or even safely sharing that data between multiple bitcoind instances.
`FindBlockPos()` may also flush the undo data file, but again this is skipped if the corresponding block position is known, like during the initial stage of a reindex when block data is being indexed. Once the block index is complete the validation mechanism will call `ConnectBlock()` which will save undo data at that time.
The call stack looks like this:
```
init()
ThreadImport() <-- process fReindex flag
LoadExternalBlockFile()
AcceptBlock()
SaveBlockToDisk()
FindBlockPos()
FlushBlockFile() <-- unnecessary if block is already on disk
```
A larger refactor of this part of the code was started by mzumsande here: https://github.com/mzumsande/bitcoin/tree/202207_refactor_findblockpos including this fix, reviewers can let me know if the changes should be combined.

38f70ba6ac RPC: Add maxfeerate and maxburnamount args to submitpackage (Greg Sanders)
Pull request description:
Resolves https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28949
I couldn't manage to do it very cleanly outside of (sub)package evaluation itself, since it would change the current interface very heavily. Instead I threaded through the max fee argument and used that directly via ATMPArgs. From that perspective, this is somewhat a reversion from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19339. In a post-cluster mempool world, these checks could be consolidated to right after the given (ancestor) package is linearized/chunked, by just checking the feerate of the top chunk and rejecting the submission entirely if the top chunk is too high.
The implication here is that subpackages can be submitted to the mempool prior to hitting this new fee-based error condition.

And thread the feerate value through ProcessNewPackage to
reject individual transactions that exceed the given
feerate. This allows subpackage processing, and is
compatible with future package RBF work.
ReadRawBlockFromDisk assumes a non-null pos that has an nPos >= 8.
This simple check makes the function safer to call in the future,
so callers don't need to worry about causing UB if the pos is null.
This fixes the log output when -logsourcelocations is used.
Also, instead of 'ERROR:', the log will now say '[error]', like other
errors logged with LogError.

Pull request description:
This change drops `shutdown.h` and `shutdown.cpp` files, replacing them with a `NodeContext::shutdown` member which is used to trigger shutdowns directly. This gets rid of an unnecessary layer of indirection, and allows getting rid of the `kernel::g_context` global.
Additionally, this PR tries to improve error handling of `SignalInterrupt` code by marking relevant methods `[[nodiscard]]` to avoid the possibility of uncaught exceptions mentioned https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27861#discussion_r1255496707.
Behavior is changing In a few cases which are noted in individual commit messages. Particularly: GUI code more consistently interrupts RPCs when it is shutting down, shutdown state no longer persists between unit tests, the stop RPC now returns an RPC error if requesting shutdown fails instead of aborting, and other failed shutdown calls now log errors instead of aborting.
This PR is a net reduction in lines of code, but in some cases the explicit error handling and lack of global shutdown functions do make it more verbose. The verbosity can be seen as good thing if it discourages more code from directly triggering shutdowns, and instead encourages code to return errors or send notifications that could be translated into shutdowns. Probably a number of existing shutdown calls could just be replaced by better error handling.

This change is mostly a refectoring that removes some code and gets rid of an
unnecessary layer of indirection after #27861
But it is not a pure refactoring since StartShutdown, AbortShutdown, and
WaitForShutdown functions used to abort on failure, and the replacement code
logs or returns errors instead.
