Merge #16939: p2p: Delay querying DNS seeds
96954d1794 DNS seeds: don't query DNS while network is inactive (Anthony Towns)
fa5894f7f5 DNS seeds: wait for 5m instead of 11s if 1000+ peers are known (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  Changes the logic for querying DNS seeds: after this PR, if there's less than 1000 entries in addrman, it will still usually query DNS seeds after 11s (unless the first few peers tried mostly succeed), but if there's more than 1000 entries it won't try DNS seeds until 5 minutes have passed without getting multiple outbound peers. (If there's 0 entries in addrman, it will still immediately query the DNS seeds). Additionally, delays querying DNS seeds while the p2p network is not active.

  Fixes #15434

c3cf2f5501 rpc/blockchain.cpp: Remove g_utxosetscan mutex that is only protecting a single atomic variable (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  In a few cases we need to use `std::mutex` rather than the sync.h primitives. But `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` doesn't include the clang thread safety annotations unless you also use clang's C library, which means you can't indicate when variables should be guarded by `std::mutex` mutexes.

  This adds an annotated version of `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` to threadsafety.h to fix that, and modifies places where `std::mutex` is used to take advantage of the annotations.

  It's based on top of #16112, and turns the thread safety comments included there into annotations.

  It also changes the RAII classes in wallet/wallet.h and rpc/blockchain.cpp to just use the atomic<bool> flag for synchronisation rather than having a mutex that doesn't actually guard anything as well.

If 1000 potential peers are known, wait for 5m before querying DNS seeds

get us connected. Also check every 11s whether we've got enough active
outbounds that DNS seeds aren't worth querying, and exit the dnsseed
thread early if so.

Pull request description:

  This PR factors out transport packaging logic from `CConnman::PushMessage()`.
  It's similar to #16202 (where we refactor deserialization).

Pull request description:

  This PR attempts to solve the problem explained in #16599.
  A particular attack which encouraged us to work on this issue is explained here  [[Erebus Attack against Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer Network](https://erebus-attack.comp.nus.edu.sg/)] (by @muoitranduc)

  Instead of relying on /16 prefix to diversify the connections every node creates, we would instead rely on the (ip -> ASN) mapping, if this mapping is provided.

  A .map file can be created by every user independently based on a router dump, or provided along with the Bitcoin release. Currently we use the python scripts written by @sipa to create a .map file, which is no larger than 2MB (awesome!).

  Here I suggest adding a field to peers.dat which would represent a hash of asmap file used while serializing addrman (or 0 for /16 prefix legacy approach).
  In this case, every time the file is updated (or grouping method changed), all buckets will be re-computed.
  I believe that alternative selective re-bucketing for only updated ranges would require substantial changes.

  TODO:
  - ~~more unit tests~~
  - ~~find a way to test the code without including >1 MB mapping file in the repo.~~
  - find a way to check that mapping file is not corrupted (checksum?)
  - comments and separate tests for asmap.cpp
  - make python code for .map generation public
  - figure out asmap distribution (?)

  ~Interesting corner case: I’m using std::hash to compute a fingerprint of asmap, and std::hash returns size_t. I guess  if a user updates the OS to 64-bit, then the hash of asap will change? Does it even matter?~

Pull request description:

  Don't allow resolving of `std::string`:s with embedded `NUL` characters.

  Avoid using C-style `NUL`-terminated strings as arguments in the `netbase` interface

  Add tests.

  The only place in where C-style `NUL`-terminated strings are actually needed is here:

  ```diff
  +    if (!ValidAsCString(name)) {
  +        return false;
  +    }
  ...
  -    int nErr = getaddrinfo(pszName, nullptr, &aiHint, &aiRes);
  +    int nErr = getaddrinfo(name.c_str(), nullptr, &aiHint, &aiRes);
       if (nErr)
           return false;
  ```

  Interface changes:

  ```diff
  -bool LookupHost(const char *pszName, std::vector<CNetAddr>& vIP, unsigned int nMaxSolutions, bool fAllowLookup);
  +bool LookupHost(const std::string& name, std::vector<CNetAddr>& vIP, unsigned int nMaxSolutions, bool fAllowLookup);

  -bool LookupHost(const char *pszName, CNetAddr& addr, bool fAllowLookup);
  +bool LookupHost(const std::string& name, CNetAddr& addr, bool fAllowLookup);

  -bool Lookup(const char *pszName, CService& addr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup);
  +bool Lookup(const std::string& name, CService& addr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup);

  -bool Lookup(const char *pszName, std::vector<CService>& vAddr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup, unsigned int nMaxSolutions);
  +bool Lookup(const std::string& name, std::vector<CService>& vAddr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup, unsigned int nMaxSolutions);

  -bool LookupSubNet(const char *pszName, CSubNet& subnet);
  +bool LookupSubNet(const std::string& strSubnet, CSubNet& subnet);

  -CService LookupNumeric(const char *pszName, int portDefault = 0);
  +CService LookupNumeric(const std::string& name, int portDefault = 0);

  -bool ConnectThroughProxy(const proxyType &proxy, const std::string& strDest, int port, const SOCKET& hSocketRet, int nTimeout, bool *outProxyConnectionFailed);
  +bool ConnectThroughProxy(const proxyType &proxy, const std::string& strDest, int port, const SOCKET& hSocketRet, int nTimeout, bool& outProxyConnectionFailed);
  ```

  It should be noted that the `ConnectThroughProxy` change (from `bool *outProxyConnectionFailed` to `bool& outProxyConnectionFailed`) has nothing to do with `NUL` handling but I thought it was worth doing when touching this file :)

ec45646de9 Integrate ASN bucketing in Addrman and add tests
Instead of using /16 netgroups to bucket nodes in Addrman for connection
diversification, ASN, which better represents an actor in terms
of network-layer infrastructure, is used.
For testing, asmap.raw is used. It represents a minimal
asmap needed for testing purposes.

a552e8477c added asserts to check m_addr_known when it's used (User)
090b75c14b p2p: Avoid allocating memory for addrKnown where we don't need it (User)

Pull request description:

  We should allocate memory for addrKnown filter only for those peers which are expected to participate in address relay.

  Currently, we do it for all peers (including SPV and block-relay-only),  which results in extra RAM where it's not needed.

  Upd:
  In future, we would still allow SPVs to ask for addrs, so allocation still will be done by default.
  However, they will be able to opt-out via [this proposal](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-October/017428.html) and then we could save some more memory.
  This PR still saves memory for block-relay-only peers immediately after merging.

Pull request description:

  **This refactors the network message deserialization.**

  * It transforms the `CNetMessage` into a transport protocol agnostic message container.
  * A new class `TransportDeserializer` (unique pointer of `CNode`)  is introduced, handling the network buffer reading and the decomposing to a `CNetMessage`
  * **No behavioral changes** (in terms of disconnecting, punishing)
  * Moves the checksum finalizing into the `SocketHandler` thread (finalizing was in `ProcessMessages` before)

  The **optional last commit** makes the `TransportDeserializer` following an adapter pattern (polymorphic interface) to make it easier to later add a V2 transport protocol deserializer.

  Intentionally not touching the sending part.

  Pre-Requirement for BIP324 (v2 message transport protocol).
  Replacement for #14046 and inspired by a [comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14046#issuecomment-431528330) from sipa

Merge #15558: Don't query all DNS seeds at once
6170ec5d3a Do not query all DNS seed at once (Pieter Wuille)

Pull request description:

  Before this PR, when we don't have enough connections after 11 seconds, we proceed to query all DNS seeds in a fixed order, loading responses from all of them.

  Change this to to only query three randomly-selected DNS seed. If 11 seconds later we still don't have enough connections, try again with another one, and so on.

  This reduces the amount of information DNS seeds can observe about the requesters by spreading the load over all of them.

Pull request description:

  Transaction relay is optimized for a combination of redundancy/robustness as well as bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.

  Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:

  (a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of a given transaction.

  (b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to achieve a network split).

  We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is much more expensive for an adversary.

  After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)

    ACK 0ba08020c9 -- code review, ran tests. ran it on mainnet for a couple of days with MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS upped from 2 to 16 and didn't observe any unexpected behaviour: it disconnected a couple of peers that tried sending inv's, and it successfully did compact block relay with some block relay peers.
  TheBlueMatt:
    re-utACK 0ba08020c9. Pointed out that stats.fRelayTxes was sometimes uninitialized for blocksonly peers (though its not a big deal and only effects RPC), which has since been fixed here. Otherwise changes are pretty trivial so looks good.

430f489027 Don't relay addr messages to block-relay-only peers
We don't want relay of addr messages to leak information about
these network links.

3a5e885306 Add 2 outbound block-relay-only connections
Transaction relay is primarily optimized for balancing redundancy/robustness
with bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information
that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.

Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:

(a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of
a given transaction.

(b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or
nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to
achieve a network split).

We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction
relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is
much more expensive for an adversary.

After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that
are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our
transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)

6170ec5d3a Do not query all DNS seed at once
Instead, when necessary, query 3. If that leads to a sufficient number
of connects, stop. If not, query 3 more, and so on.
