faa96f841f Remove unused CDataStream methods (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Using `uint8_t` for raw bytes has a style benefit:
* The signedness is clear from reading the code, as it does not depend on the architecture
Other clean-ups in this pull include:
* Remove unused methods
* Constructor is simplified with `Span`
* Remove `Init()` member in favor of C++11 member initialization

Pull request description:
This is a followup to

to also use madvise(2) on FreeBSD to avoid sensitive data allocated
with secure_allocator ending up in core files in addition to preventing
it from going to the swap.

d831831822 lockedpool: When possible, use madvise to avoid including sensitive information in core dumps (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
If we're mlocking something, it's because it's sensitive information. Therefore, don't include it in core dump files, ~~and unmap it from forked processes~~.
The return value is not checked because the madvise calls might fail on older kernels as a rule (unsure).

The test uses reinterpret_cast<void*> on unallocated memory. Using this
memory in printchunk as char* causes a segfault, so have printchunk take
void* instead.
Changes in #12048 cause a compilation error in Arena::walk() when
ARENA_DEBUG is defined. Specifically, Arena's chunks_free map was
changed to have a different value type.
Additionally, missing includes cause other compilation errors when
ARENA_DEBUG is defined.
Reproduced with:
make CPPFLAGS=-DARENA_DEBUG
So far, the documentation of memory_cleanse() is a verbatim copy of
the commit message in BoringSSL, where this code was originally
written. However, our code evolved since then, and the commit message
is not particularly helpful in the code but is rather of historical
interested in BoringSSL only.
This commit improves improves the comments around memory_cleanse()
and gives a better rationale for the method that we use. This commit
touches only comments.
Commit fbf327b138 ("Minimal code
changes to allow msvc compilation.") was indeed minimal in terms
of lines touched. But as a result of that minimalism it changed the
logic in memory_cleanse() to first call std::memset() and then
additionally the MSVC-specific SecureZeroMemory() function, and it
also moved a comment to the wrong location.
This commit removes the superfluous call to std::memset() on MSVC
and ensures that the comment is in the right position again.

5fbf7c4 fix nits: variable naming, typos (Martin Ankerl)
1e0ee90 Use best-fit strategy in Arena, now O(log(n)) instead O(n) (Martin Ankerl)
Pull request description:
This replaces the first-fit algorithm used in the Arena with a best-fit. According to "Dynamic Storage Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review", Wilson et. al. 1995, http://www.scs.stanford.edu/14wi-cs140/sched/readings/wilson.pdf, both startegies work well in practice.
The advantage of using best-fit is that we can switch the O(n) allocation to O(log(n)). Additionally, some previously O(log(n)) operations are now O(1) operations by using hash maps. The end effect is that the benchmark runs about 2.5 times faster on my machine:
# Benchmark, evals, iterations, total, min, max, median

I've run all unit tests and benchmarks, and increased the number of iterations so that BenchLockedPool takes about 5 seconds again.

fbf327b Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilation. (Aaron Clauson)
Pull request description:
These changes are required to allow the Bitcoin source to build with Microsoft's C++ compiler (#11562 is also required).
I looked around for a better place for the typedef of ssize_t which is in random.h. The best candidate looks like src/compat.h but I figured including that header in random.h is a bigger change than the typedef. Note that the same typedef is in at least two other places including the OpenSSL and Berkeley DB headers so some of the Bitcoin code already picks it up.

Use C++11's better capability of expressing an interface of a non-copyable class by publicly deleting its copy ctor and assignment operator instead of just declaring them private.
The implementation we currently use from OpenSSL prevents the compiler from optimizing away clensing operations on blocks of memory that are about to be released, but this protection is not extended to link-time optimization. This commit copies the solution cooked up by Google compiler engineers which uses inline assembly directives to instruct the compiler not to optimize out the call under any circumstances. As the code is in-lined, this has the added advantage of removing one more OpenSSL dependency.
Regarding license compatibility, Google's contributions to BoringSSL library, including this code, is made available under the ISC license, which is MIT compatible.
