7013da07fb Add release note for PR#25943 (David Gumberg)
04f270b435 Add test for unspendable transactions and parameter 'maxburnamount' to sendrawtransaction. (David Gumberg)
Pull request description:
This PR adds a user configurable, zero by default parameter — `maxburnamount` — to `sendrawtransaction`. This PR makes bitcoin core reject transactions that contain unspendable outputs which exceed `maxburnamount`. closes#25899.
As a result of this PR, `sendrawtransaction` will by default block 3 kinds of transactions:
1. Those that begin with `OP_RETURN` - (datacarriers)
2. Those whose lengths exceed the script limit.
3. Those that contain invalid opcodes.
The user is able to configure a `maxburnamount` that will override this check and allow a user to send a potentially unspendable output into the mempool.
I see two legitimate use cases for this override:
1. Users that deliberately use `OP_RETURN` for datacarrier transactions that embed data into the blockchain.
2. Users that refuse to update, or are unable to update their bitcoin core client would be able to make use of new opcodes that their client doesn't know about.

Pull request description:
`VerifyDB()` can fail to complete due to insufficient dbcache at the level 3 checks. This PR improves the error handling in this case in the following ways:
- The rpc `-verifychain` now returns false if the check can't be completed due to insufficient cache
- During init, we only log a warning if the default values for `-checkblocks` and `-checklevel` are taken and the check doesn't complete. However, if the user actively specifies one of these args, we return with an InitError if we can't complete the check.
This PR also changes `-verifychain` RPC to return `false` if the verification didn't finish due to missing block data (pruning) or due to being interrupted by the node being shutdown.
Previously, this PR also included a fix for a possible assert during verification - this was done in #27009 (now merged).

Pull request description:
Build against glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (previously only used for RISC-V), and at the same time, increase our minimum required glibc to 2.27 (2018). This would drop support for Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) & Debian Stretch (9), from the produced release binaries. Compiling from source on those systems may be possible, assuming you can install a recent enough compiler/toolchain etc.

75347236f2 docs: document c-style cast prohibition (Pasta)
Pull request description:
In the words of practicalswift:
```
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
const_cast(...)
static_cast(...)
const_cast(static_cast(...))
reinterpret_cast(...)
const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))
By using static_cast<T>(...) explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and
dangerous reinterpret_cast. Furthermore static_cast<T>(...) allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see "ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"
in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).
```
Modern tooling, specifically `-Wold-style-cast` can enable us to enforce never using C-style casts. I believe this is especially important due to the number of C-style casts the codebase is currently being used as a reinterpret_cast. reinterpret_casts are especially dangerous, and should never be done via C-style casts.
Update the docs to suggest the use of named cast or functional casts.

14ce84388f doc: add new NO_* options from #26833 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Now that we can build a bdb-only depends prefix (#26833), there is no need to
maintain a bdb-building bash script, that does the same thing as
depends, except worse, as it's missing patches and workarounds. i.e #26623.
Someone that wants to compile bdb themselves, but doesn't want to use other depends built libs, can do:
```bash
make -C depends NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_USDT=1
...
to: /path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
```
which gives them a BDB only prefix, and then compile using:
```bash
export BDB_PREFIX="/path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
./autogen.sh
./configure \
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
```
Wondering if we should extract the build bdb/legacy wallet docs somewhere, to avoid the repetition?

1134686ef9 mempool: Don't share mempool with dbcache in blocksonly (willcl-ark)
Pull request description:
Fixes#9526
When `-blocksonly` has been set reduce default mempool size to avoid surprising resource usage via sharing un-used mempool cache space with dbcache.
In comparison to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9569 which either set `maxmempool` size to 0 when `-blocksonly` was set or else errored on startup, this change will permit `maxmempool` options being set.
This preserves the current (surprising?) behaviour of having a functional mempool in `-blocksonly` mode, to permit whitelisted peer transaction relay, whilst reducing average runtime memory usage for blocksonly nodes which either use the default settings or have otherwise configured a `maxmempool` size.
To use the previous old defaults node operators can configure their node with: `-blocksonly -maxmempool=300`.

d96d97ad30 doc: Add release note for shutdownnotify. (klementtan)
0bd73e2c45 util: Add -shutdownnotify option. (klementtan)
Pull request description:
**Description**: Similar to `-startupnotify`, this PR adds a new option to allow users to specify a command to be executed when Bitcoin Core shuts down.
**Note**: The `shutdownnotify` commands will not be executed if bitcoind shut down due to *unexpected* reasons (ie `killall -9 bitcoind`).
### Testing:
**Normal shutdown commands**
```
# start bitcoind with shutdownnotify optioin
./src/bitcoind -signet -shutdownnotify="touch foo.txt"
# shutdown bitcoind
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet stop
# check that foo.txt has been created
```
**Final RPC call**
Commands:
```
$ ./src/bitcoind -signet -nolisten -noconnect -shutdownnotify="./src/bitcoin-cli -signet getblockchaininfo > tmp.txt"
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli stop
$ cat tmp.txt
```
