Merge #21202: [validation] Two small clang lock annotation improvements
25c57d6409 [doc] Add a note about where lock annotations should go. (Amiti Uttarwar)
ad5f01b960 [validation] Move the lock annotation from function definition to declaration (Amiti Uttarwar)

Pull request description:

  Based on reviewing #21188

  the first commit switches the lock annotations on `CheckInputScripts` to be on the function declaration instead of on the function definition. this ensures that all call sites are checked, not just ones that come after the definition.

  the second commit adds a note to the developer-notes section to clarify where the annotations should be applied.

configure: add --enable-external-signer
This option replaces --with-boost-process

This prepares external signer support to be disabled by default.
It adds a configure option to enable this feature and to check
if Boost::Process is present.

This also exposes ENABLE_EXTERNAL_SIGNER to the test suite via test/config.ini

Merge #21205: build: actually fail when Boost is missing
c5da2749e2 build: actually stop configure if Boost isn't available (fanquake)
cad8b527ea build: explicitly install libboost-dev package (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  If Boost is not found via AX_BOOST_BASE, we don't actually stop
  configuring, only a warning is emitted:
  ```bash
  checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
  ```

  Instead we usually fail when one of the other AX_BOOST_* macros fails to find a library. These macros are slowly being
  removed, and in any case, it makes more sense to fail earlier if Boost is missing.

  If Boost is unavailable, the failure now looks like:
  ```bash
  checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.58.0 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
  configure: error: Boost is not available!
  ```

  Note that we now just pass the version into AX_BOOST_BASE, which fixes it's display in the output (rather than showing `MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST`).

  This PR also has a commit that adds `libboost-dev` to our install instructions and CI. This package is currently installed as a side-effect of installing our other libboost-*-dev packages. However as those continue to disappear, it makes sense to install boost-dev explicitly.

Merge #20380: doc: Add instructions on how to fuzz the P2P layer using Honggfuzz NetDriver
fd0be92cff doc: Add instructions on how to fuzz the P2P layer using Honggfuzz NetDriver (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Add instructions on how to fuzz the P2P layer using [Honggfuzz NetDriver](http://blog.swiecki.net/2018/01/fuzzing-tcp-servers.html).

  Honggfuzz NetDriver allows for very easy fuzzing of TCP servers such as Bitcoin Core without having to write any custom fuzzing harness. The `bitcoind` server process is largely fuzzed without modification.

  This makes the fuzzing highly realistic: a bug reachable by the fuzzer is likely also remotely triggerable by an untrusted peer.

Top commit has no ACKs.

Merge #20986: docs: update developer notes to discourage very long lines
aa929abf8d [docs] Update developer notes to discourage very long lines (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  Mandatory rules on line lengths are bad - there will always be cases where a longer line is more readable than the alternative.

  However, very long lines for no good reason _do_ hurt readability. For example, this declaration in validation.h is 274 chars:

  ```c++
      bool ConnectTip(BlockValidationState& state, const CChainParams& chainparams, CBlockIndex* pindexNew, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock, ConnectTrace& connectTrace, DisconnectedBlockTransactions& disconnectpool) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_main, m_mempool.cs);
  ```

  That won't fit on one line without wrapping on my 27" monitor with a comfortable font size. Much easier to read is something like:

  ```c++
      bool ConnectTip(BlockValidationState& state, const CChainParams& chainparams,
                      CBlockIndex* pindexNew, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock,
                      ConnectTrace& connectTrace, DisconnectedBlockTransactions& disconnectpool)
          EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_main, m_mempool.cs);
  ```

  Therefore, _discourage_ (don't forbid) line lengths greater than 100 characters in our developer style guide.

  100 chars is somewhat arbitrary. The old standard was 80, but that seems very limiting with modern displays.

7097add83c refactor: replace Boost shared_mutex with std shared_mutex in sigcache (fanquake)
8e55981ef8 refactor: replace Boost shared_mutex with std shared_mutex in cuckoocache tests (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This replaces `boost::shared_mutex` and `boost::unique_lock` with [`std::shared_mutex`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/shared_mutex) & [`std::unique_lock`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/unique_lock).

  Even though [some concerns were raised](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684#issuecomment-726214696) in #16684 with regard to `std::shared_mutex` being unsafe to use across some glibc versions, I still think this change is an improvement. As I mentioned in #21022, I also think trying to restrict standard library feature usage based on bugs in glibc is not only hard to do, but it's not currently clear exactly how we do that in practice (does it also extend to patching out use in our dependencies, should we be implementing more runtime checks for features we are using, when do we consider an affected glibc "old enough" not to worry about? etc). If you take a look through the [glibc bug tracker](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=glibc) you'll no doubt find plenty of (active) bug reports for standard library code we already using. Obviously not to say we shouldn't try and avoid buggy code where possible.

  Two other points:

  [Cory mentioned in #21022](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21022#issuecomment-769274179):
  > It also seems reasonable to me to worry that boost hits the same underlying glibc bug, and we've just not happened to trigger the right conditions yet.

  Moving away from Boost to the standard library also removes the potential for differences related to Boosts configuration. Boost has multiple versions of `shared_mutex`, and what you end up using, and what it's backed by depends on:
  * The version of Boost.
  * The platform you're building for.
  * Which version of `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION` is defined: (2,3,4 or 5) default=2. (see [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration) for some of the differences).
  * Is `BOOST_THREAD_V2_SHARED_MUTEX` defined? (not by default). If so, you might get the ["less performant, but more robust"](https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/230#issuecomment-475937761) version of `shared_mutex`.

  A lot of these factors are eliminated by our use of depends, but users will have varying configurations. It's also not inconceivable to think that a distro, or some package manager might start defining something like `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION=3`. Boost tried to change the default from 2 to 3 at one point.

  With this change, we no longer use Boost Thread, so this PR also removes it from depends, the build system, CI etc.

  Previous similar PRs were #19183 & #20922. The authors are included in the commits here.

Pull request description:

  After live-demo-ing a Guix build (which completed successfully!) on achow101's stream, I realized there were a few quality of life improvements which can be made to improve the user experience of our Guix build process. Here are a few of them.

  Notable changes:
  1. When `MAX_JOBS` is specified, both `guix time-machine` and `guix environment` will now build up to `MAX_JOBS` packages at a time when creating the build environment
  2. The instructions for using substitutes were incorrect, and has now been replaced with a `SUBSTITUTE_URLS` environment variable, which works well with shell's IFS splitting rules
  3. New `ADDITIONAL_GUIX_{COMMON,TIMEMACHINE}_FLAGS` options, for more granular customization of the build process.
  4. README cleanup

Merge #19050: doc: Add warning for rest interface limitation
5c3eaf9983 doc: Add warnings for http interfaces limitations (Fabian Jahr)

Pull request description:

  `libevent`, which is used for our rest interface, can use up all of the available file descriptors in a system if too many connections are opened at once. If a new block is connected at the same time and can not be written to disk because there are no file descriptors available, the node crashes. Based on my investigation so far the issue is best solved upstream which means we have to wait for the next release (2.2). In the meantime it would be good if we would warn users of this limitation.

  See #11368 for more background.

fa13e1b0c5 build: Add option --enable-danger-fuzz-link-all (MarcoFalke)
44444ba759 fuzz: Link all targets once (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Currently the linker is invoked more than 150 times when compiling with `--enable-fuzz`. This is problematic for several reasons:

  * It wastes disk space north of 20 GB, as all libraries and sanitizers are linked more than 150 times
  * It wastes CPU time, as the link step can practically not be cached (similar to ccache for object files)
  * It makes it a blocker to compile the fuzz tests by default for non-fuzz builds #19388, for the aforementioned reasons
  * The build file is several thousand lines of code, without doing anything meaningful except listing each fuzz target in a highly verbose manner
  * It makes writing new fuzz tests unnecessarily hard, as build system knowledge is required; Compare that to boost unit tests, which can be added by simply editing an existing cpp file
  * It encourages fuzz tests that re-use the `buffer` or assume the `buffer` to be concatenations of seeds, which increases complexity of seeds and complexity for the fuzz engine to explore; Thus reducing the effectiveness of the affected fuzz targets

  Fixes #20088

on vasild's recommendation: it is ok to point the user to download db5 which has an active port package
instead of building db4 from the provided script.

30bc8fab68 net: save high-bandwidth mode states in CNodeStats (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  Fixes #19676, "_For every peer expose through getpeerinfo RPC whether or not we selected them as HB peers, and whether or not they selected us as HB peers._" See [BIP152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki), in particular the [protocol flow diagram](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/raw/master/bip-0152/protocol-flow.png).  The newly introduced states are changed on the following places in the code:
  * on reception of a `SENDCMPCT` message with valid version, the field `m_highbandwidth_from` is changed depending on the first integer parameter in the message (1=high bandwidth, 0=low bandwidth), i.e. it just mirrors the field `CNodeState.fPreferHeaderAndIDs`.
  * after adding a `SENDCMPCT` message to the send queue, the field `m_highbandwidth_to` is changed depending on how the first integer parameter is set (same as above)

  Note that after receiving `VERACK`, the node also sends `SENDCMPCT`, but that is only to announce the preferred version and never selects high-bandwidth mode, hence there is no need to change the state variables there, which are initialized to `false` anyways.

Merge #20223: build: Drop the leading 0 from the version number
8f7b930475 Drop the leading 0 from the version number (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was accidentally not included in the version number.

  The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously, as the Major version was 0 so it never actually got included in it.

  The user agent string formatter is updated to follow this new versioning.

  ***

  Honestly I'm just tired of all of the people asking for "1.0" that maybe this'll shut them up. Skip the whole 1.0 thing and go straight to version 22.0!

  Also, this means that the terminology we commonly use lines up with how the variables are named. So major versions are actually bumping the major version number, etc.

Pull request description:

  As described in "Key origin identification" section, a descriptor

  practically useless.

8f7b930475 Drop the leading 0 from the version number
Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which
we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The
revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor
version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to
being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was
accidentally not included in the version number.

The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously,
the Major version was 0 so that was never a factor in CLIENT_VERSION.

97c738ff1b [tests] Recommend f-strings for formatting, update feature_block to use them (Anthony Towns)
8ae9d314e9 Bump minimum python version to 3.6 (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  Python 3.5 has reached [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches) as of September 2020, and 3.6 has some moderately nice [features](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html):

  - `f'x = {x}'` as an alternative to `'x = {}'.format(x)` format strings (cf https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13718#issuecomment-406591027)
  - underscore separators for large numbers, like `1_234_567`
  - improvements to async
  - improvements to typing module

  Note that 3.6 is not available in xenial (16.04), but is available in bionic (18.04), while focal (20.04) has 3.8. CentOS 7 and 8 have 3.6.8, Debian stable has 3.7.3, and [gentoo and arch already had 3.6 and 3.7 in 2018](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14954#issuecomment-447118707).

Pull request description:

  Even though the format of `peers.dat` was changed in a backwards

  garbage and use it.

  Old versions expect the "key size" field to be 32 and fail the parsing
  if it is not. Thus, we put something other than 32 in it. This will make
  versions between 0.11.0 and 0.20.1 deterministically fail on the new
  format. Versions prior to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5941
  will still parse it as garbage.

  Also, introduce a way to increment the `peers.dat` format in a way that

docs/descriptors.md: Remove hardened marker in the path after xpub
As described in "Key origin identification" section, a descriptor
that has hardened derivation after xpub does not let you compute scripts
without access to the corresponding private keys. Such a descriptor is
practically useless.

The text after the descriptor said "with child key *1'/2* of the
specified xpub", and clearly an xpub cannot have "child key" with
hardened derivation. Therefore it makes sense to fix this inconsistency
to not confuse the reader of the doc

Pull request description:

  This PR adds a new class `SQLiteDatabase` which is a subclass of `WalletDatabase`. This provides access to a SQLite database that is used to store the wallet records. To keep compatibility with BDB and to complexity of the change down, we don't make use of many SQLite's features. We use it strictly as a key-value store. We create a table `main` which has two columns, `key` and `value` both with the type `blob`.

  For new descriptor wallets, we will create a `SQLiteDatabase` instead of a `BerkeleyDatabase`. There is no requirement that all SQLite wallets are descriptor wallets, nor is there a requirement that all descriptor wallets be SQLite wallets. This allows for existing descriptor wallets to work as well as keeping open the option to migrate existing wallets to SQLite.

  We keep the name `wallet.dat` for SQLite wallets. We are able to determine which database type to use by searching for specific magic bytes in the `wallet.dat` file. SQLite begins it's files with a null terminated string `SQLite format 3`. BDB has `0x00053162` at byte 12 (note that the byte order of this integer depends on the system endianness). So when we see that there is a `wallet.dat` file that we want to open, we check for the magic bytes to determine which database system to use.

  I decided to keep the `wallet.dat` naming to keep things like backup script to continue to function as they won't need to be modified to look for a different file name. It also simplifies a couple of things in the implementation and the tests as `wallet.dat` is something that is specifically being looked for. If we don't want this behavior, then I do have another branch which creates `wallet.sqlite` files instead, but I find that this direction is easier.

I assume I'm just very dense, or there's some unstated reason, because the only thing that's been brought up are unrealistic compatibility scenarios (all require actively creating a wallet with non-default descriptor+sqlite option, then trying to using the descriptor+sqlite wallets with old software or scripts and ignoring the results) that we didn't pay attention to with previous PRs like #11687, which did not require any active interfaction.

Pull request description:

  This replaces the transaction request logic with an encapsulated class that maintains all the state surrounding it. By keeping it stand alone, it can be easily tested (using included unit tests and fuzz tests).

  The major changes are:

  * Announcements from outbound (and whitelisted) peers are now always preferred over those from inbound peers. This used to be the case for the first request (by delaying the first request from inbound peers), and a bias afters. The 2s delay for requests from inbound peers still exists, but after that, if viable outbound peers remain for any given transaction, they will always be tried first.
  * No more hard cap of 100 in flight transactions per peer, as there is less need for it (memory usage is linear in the number of announcements, but independent from the number in flight, and CPU usage isn't affected by it). Furthermore, if only one peer announces a transaction, and it has over 100 in flight already, we still want to request it from them. The cap is replaced with a rule that announcements from such overloaded peers get an additional 2s delay (possibly combined with the existing 2s delays for inbound connections, and for txid peers when wtxid peers are available).
  * The limit of 100000 tracked announcements is reduced to 5000; this was excessive. This can be bypassed using the PF_RELAY permission (to accommodate locally dumping a batch of many transactions).

  This replaces #19184, rebased on #18044 and with many small changes.

  ariard:
    Code Review ACK fd9a006. I've reviewed the new TxRequestTracker, its integration in net_processing, unit/functional/fuzzing test coverage. I looked more for soundness of new specification rather than functional consistency with old transaction request logic.
  MarcoFalke:
    Approach ACK fd9a0060f0 🏹
  naumenkogs:
    Code Review ACK fd9a006. I've reviewed everything, mostly to see how this stuff works at the lower level (less documentation-wise, more implementation-wise), and to try breaking it with unexpected sequences of events.

    WIP light ACK fd9a0060f0 have read the code, verified that each commit is hygienic, e.g. debug build clean and tests green, and have been running a node on and off with this branch and grepping the net debug log. Am still unpacking the discussion hidden by GitHub by fetching it via the API and connecting the dots, storing notes and suggestions in a local branch; at this point none are blockers.
  ryanofsky:
    Light code review ACK fd9a0060f0, looking at txrequest implementation, unit test implementation, and net_processing integration, just trying to understand how it works and looking for anything potentially confusing in the implementation. Didn't look at functional tests or catch up on review discussion. Just a sanity check review focused on:

de11b0a4ef Reduce MAX_PEER_TX_ANNOUNCEMENTS for non-PF_RELAY peers
Maintaining up to 100000 INVs per peer is excessive, as that is far more
than fits in a typical mempool.

Also disable the "overload" penalty for PF_RELAY peers.
