c5b36b1c1b Mempool Update Cut-Through Optimization (Jeremy Rubin)
c49daf9885 [TESTS] Increase limitancestorcount in tournament RPC test to showcase improved algorithm (Jeremy Rubin)
Pull request description:
Often when we're updating mempool entries we update entries that we ultimately end up removing the updated entries shortly thereafter. This patch makes it so that we filter for such entries a bit earlier in processing, which yields a mild improvement for these cases, and is negligible overhead otherwise.
There's potential for a better -- but more sophisticated -- algorithm that can be used taking advantage of epochs, but I figured it is better to do something that is simple and works first and upgrade it later as the other epoch mempool work proceeds as it makes the patches for the epoch algorithm simpler to understand, so you can consider this as preparatory work. It could either go in now if it is not controversial, or we could wait until the other patch is ready to go.

b4adc5ad67 [bugfix] update lockpoints correctly during reorg (glozow)
b6002b07a3 MOVEONLY: update_lock_points to txmempool.h (glozow)
Pull request description:
I introduced a bug in #22677 (sorry! 😅)
Mempool entries cache `LockPoints`, containing the first height/blockhash/`CBlockIndex*` at which the transaction becomes valid. During a reorg, we re-check timelocks on all mempool entries using `CheckSequenceLocks(useExistingLockPoints=false)` and remove any now-invalid entries. `CheckSequenceLocks()` also mutates the `LockPoints` passed in, and we update valid entries' `LockPoints` using `update_lock_points`. Thus, `update_lock_points(lp)` needs to be called right after `CheckSequenceLocks(lp)`, otherwise we lose the data in `lp`. I incorrectly assumed they could be called in separate loops.
The incorrect behavior introduced is: if we have a reorg in which a timelocked mempool transaction is still valid but becomes valid at a different block, the cached `LockPoints` will be incorrect.
This PR fixes the bug, adds a test, and adds an assertion at the end of `removeForReorg()` to check that all mempool entries' lockpoints are valid. You can reproduce the bug by running the test added in the [test] commit on the code before the [bugfix] commit.

Often when we're updating mempool entries we update entries that we
ultimately end up removing the updated entries shortly thereafter. This
patch makes it so that we filter for such entries a bit earlier in
processing, which yields a mild improvement for these cases, and is
negligible overhead otherwise.
During a reorg, we re-check timelocks on all mempool entries using
CheckSequenceLocks(useExistingLockPoints=false) and remove any
now-invalid entries. CheckSequenceLocks() also mutates the LockPoints
passed in, and we update valid entries' LockPoints using
update_lock_points. Thus, update_lock_points(lp) needs to be called
right after CheckSequenceLocks(lp), otherwise we lose the data in lp.
commit bedf246 introduced a bug by separating those two loops.
No behavior change.
Parameterize removeForReorg using a CChain and callable that
encapsulates validation logic. The mempool shouldn't need to know a
bunch of details about coinbase maturity and lock finality. Instead,
just pass in a callable function that says true/false. Breaks circular
dependency by removing txmempool's dependency on validation.
Each entry's lockpoints are independent of one another, so there isn't
any reason to update lockpoints for entries that will be removed.
Separating the loops also allows us to move validation logic out and
leave lockpoints in txmempool.

These helpers are exclusively used in txmempool.cpp, hence they should also be moved there. The PR also contains a commit which fixes const-correctness for parents in `CTxMemPool::UpdateAncestorsOf` and declares them as reference to avoid a copy.

Pull request description:
Remove the txmempool <-> validation circular dependency by removing txmempool's dependency on validation. There are two functions in txmempool that need validation right now: `check()` and `removeForReorg()`. This PR removes the dependencies in `check()`.
This PR also improves the performance of `CTxMemPool::check()` by walking through the entries exactly once, in ascending ancestorcount order, which guarantees that we see parents before children.

No transaction in the mempool should ever be a coinbase.
Since mempoolDuplicate's backend is the chainstate coins view, it should
always contain the coins available.
UpdateCoins is an unnecessary dependency on validation. All we need to
do is add and remove coins to check inputs. We don't need the extra
logic for checking coinbases and handling TxUndos.
Also remove the wrapper function in validation.h which constructs a
throwaway TxUndo object before calling UpdateCoins because it is now
unused.
Remove variables used for keeping track of mempool transactions for
which we haven't processed the parents yet. Since we're iterating in
topological order now, they're always unused.
No behavior changes.
Before, we're always adding transactions to the "check later" queue if
they have any parents in the mempool. But there's no reason to do this
if all of its inputs are already available from mempoolDuplicate.
Instead, check for inputs, and only mark fDependsWait=true if the
parents haven't been processed yet.
Reduce the amount of "check later" transactions by looking at
ancestors before descendants. Do this by iterating through them in
ascending order by ancestor count. This works because a child will
always have more in-mempool ancestors than its parent.
We should never have any entries in the "check later" queue
after this commit.
This removes a bunch of boilerplate, makes the code easier to read.
Also, C++11 member initialization avoids accidental uninitialized
members.
Can be reviewed with the git option "--word-diff-regex=." or with "git
difftool --tool=meld".
When calculating ancestor/descendant counts for transactions in the
package, as a heuristic, count every transaction in the package as an
ancestor and descendant of every other transaction in the package.
This may overestimate, but will not underestimate, the
ancestor/descendant counts. This shortcut still produces an accurate
count for packages of 1 parent + 1 child.
This does not change existing behavior.
The ancestor/descendant limits are inclusive of the entries themselves,
but CalculateAncestorsAndCheckLimits() does not need access to them.
Allow CheckSequenceLocks to use heights and coins from any CoinsView and
CBlockIndex provided. This means that CheckSequenceLocks() doesn't need
to hold the mempool lock or cs_main. The caller is responsible for
ensuring the CoinsView and CBlockIndex are consistent before passing
them in. The typical usage is still to create a CCoinsViewMemPool from
the mempool and grab the CBlockIndex from the chainstate tip.
In #21415 we decided to return `std::optional` rather than `{}` for
uninitialized values. This PR repalces the two remaining usages of `{}`
with `std::nullopt`.
As a side-effect, this also quells the spurious GCC 10.2.x warning that
we've had reported quite a few times. i.e #21318, #21248, #20797.

Pull request description:
Overall PR: #20158 (tree-wide: De-globalize ChainstateManager)
Based on:
- [x] #20750 | [Bundle 2/n] Prune g_chainman usage in mempool-related validation functions
Note to reviewers:
1. This bundle may _apparently_ introduce usage of `g_chainman` or `::Chain(state|)Active()` globals, but these are resolved later on in the overall PR. [Commits of overall PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20158/commits)
2. There may be seemingly obvious local references to `ChainstateManager` or other validation objects which are not being used in callers of the current function in question, this is done intentionally to **_keep each commit centered around one function/method_** to ease review and to make the overall change systematic. We don't assume anything about our callers. Rest assured that once we are considering that particular caller in later commits, we will use the obvious local references. [Commits of overall PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20158/commits)
3. When changing a function/method that has many callers (e.g. `LookupBlockIndex` with 55 callers), it is sometimes easier (and less error-prone) to use a scripted-diff. When doing so, there will be 3 commits in sequence so that every commit compiles like so:
1. Add `new_function`, make `old_function` a wrapper of `new_function`, divert all calls to `old_function` to `new_function` **in the local module only**
2. Scripted-diff to divert all calls to `old_function` to `new_function` **in the rest of the codebase**
3. Remove `old_function`

fd6580e405 [refactor] txmempool: split epoch logic into class (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
Splits the epoch logic introduced in #17925 into a separate class.
Uses clang's thread safety annotations and encapsulates the data more strongly to reduce chances of bugs from API misuse.

jonatack:
ACK fd6580e405 using clang thread safety annotations looks like a very good idea, and the encapsulation this change adds should improve robustness (and possible unit test-ability) of the code. Verified that changing some of the locking duly provoked build-time warnings with Clang 9 on Debian and that small changes in the new `Epoch` class were covered by failing functional test assertions in `mempool_updatefromblock.py`, `mempool_resurrect.py`, and `mempool_reorg.py`

Several other parameters are now redundant since they can be safely
obtained from the chainstate given that ::cs_main is locked. These are
now removed.
