791dea204e test: cover unix sockets in zmq interface (Matthew Zipkin)
c87b0a0ff4 zmq: accept unix domain socket address for notifier (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27375, allowing ZMQ notifications to be published to a UNIX domain socket.
Fortunately, libzmq handles unix sockets already, all we really have to do to support it is allow the format in the actual option.
[libzmq](https://libzmq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/zmq_ipc.html) uses the prefix `ipc://` as opposed to `unix:` which is [used by Tor](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/blob/main/doc/man/tor.1.txt?ref_type=heads#L1475) and now also by [bitcoind](a85e5a7c9a/doc/release-notes-27375.md?plain=1#L5) so we need to switch that internally.
As far as I can tell, [LND](d20a764486/zmq.go (L38)) supports `ipc://` and `unix://` (notice the double slashes).
With this patch, LND can connect to bitcoind using unix sockets:
Example:
*bitcoin.conf*:
```
zmqpubrawblock=unix:/tmp/zmqsb
zmqpubrawtx=unix:/tmp/zmqst
```
*lnd.conf*:
```
bitcoind.zmqpubrawblock=ipc:///tmp/zmqsb
bitcoind.zmqpubrawtx=ipc:///tmp/zmqst
```

78407b99ed [clang-tidy] Enable the misc-no-recursion check (dergoegge)
Pull request description:
Recursion is a frequent source of stack overflow bugs. Secondly, introduction of recursion can be non-obvious.
This PR proposes to use the clang-tidy `misc-no-recursion` check to make introduction of new recursion obvious. We don't make use of recursion a lot in our code base but there are a few places that need suppressions anyway (mostly the descriptor and univalue/rpc code).

Pretty much all library packages were renamed in the 64-bit time_t
migration to add `t64` (even on 64-bit platforms).
Instead of complicating the doc with conditional package names, suggest
installing the `-dev` packages which still have the same name, and
besides that, are the right way to go about it as they contain the
"user facing" C++ headers needed to build against Qt5.
For Fedora, devel packages are already suggested.
This affects Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian Testing.

Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27252
UNIX domain sockets are a mechanism for inter-process communication that are faster than local TCP ports (because there is no need for TCP overhead) and potentially more secure because access is managed by the filesystem instead of serving an open port on the system.
There has been work on [unix domain sockets before](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9979) but for now I just wanted to start on this single use-case which is enabling unix sockets from the client side, specifically connecting to a local Tor proxy (Tor can listen on unix sockets and even enforces strict curent-user-only access permission before binding) configured by `-onion=` or `-proxy=`
I copied the prefix `unix:` usage from Tor. With this patch built locally you can test with your own filesystem path (example):
`tor --SocksPort unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
`bitcoind -proxy=unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
Prep work for this feature includes:
- Moving where and how we create `sockaddr` and `Sock` to accommodate `AF_UNIX` without disturbing `CService`
- Expanding `Proxy` class to represent either a `CService` or a UNIX socket (by its file path)
Future work:
- Enable UNIX sockets for ZMQ (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27679)
- Enable UNIX sockets for I2P SAM proxy (some code is included in this PR but not tested or exposed to user options yet)
- Enable UNIX sockets on windows where supported
- Update Network Proxies dialog in GUI to support UNIX sockets

Pull request description:
Revives #17167. It allows whitelisting manual connections. Fixes#9923
Since there are some PRs/issues around this topic, I'll list some motivations/comments for whitelisting outbound connections from them:
- Speed-up tx relay/mempool sync for testing purposes (my personal motivation for this) - In #26970, theStack pointed out that we whitelist peers to speed up tx relay for fast mempool synchronization, however, since it applies only for inbound connections and considering the topology `node0 <--- node1 <---- node2 <--- ... <-- nodeN`, if a tx is submitted from any node other than node0, the mempool synchronization can take quite long.
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29058#issuecomment-1865155764 - "Before enabling -v2transport by default (which I'd image may happen after https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24748) we could consider a way to force manual connections to be only-v1 or even only-v2 (disabling reconnect-with-v1). A possibility could be through a net permission flag, if https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27114 makes it in."
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17167#issuecomment-1168606032 - "This would allow us to use https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25355 when making outgoing connections to all nodes, except to whitelisted ones for which we would use our persistent I2P address."
- Force-relay/mempool permissions for a node you intentionally connected to.

Delving Bitcoin discussion thread: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/v3-transaction-policy-for-anti-pinning/340
Delving Bitcoin discussion for LN usage: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/lightning-transactions-with-v3-and-ephemeral-anchors/418
Rationale:
- There are various pinning problems with RBF and our general ancestor/descendant limits. These policies help mitigate many pinning attacks and make package RBF feasible (see #28984 which implements package RBF on top of this). I would focus the most here on Rule 3 pinning. [1][2]
- Switching to a cluster-based mempool (see #27677 and #28676) requires the removal of CPFP carve out, which applications depend on. V3 + package RBF + ephemeral anchors + 1-parent-1-child package relay provides an intermediate solution.
V3 policy is for "Priority Transactions." [3][4] It allows users to opt in to more restrictive topological limits for shared transactions, in exchange for the more robust fee-bumping abilities that offers. Even though we don't have cluster limits, we are able to treat these transactions as having as having a maximum cluster size of 2.
Immediate benefits:
- You can presign a transaction with 0 fees (not just 1sat/vB!) and add a fee-bump later.
- Rule 3 pinning is reduced by a significant amount, since the attacker can only attach a maximum of 1000vB to your shared transaction.
This also enables some other cool things (again see #27463 for overall roadmap):
- Ephemeral Anchors
- Package RBF for these 1-parent-1-child packages. That means e.g. a commitment tx + child can replace another commitment tx using the child's fees.
- We can transition to a "single anchor" universe without worrying about package limit pinning. So current users of CPFP carve out would have something else to use.
- We can switch to a cluster-based mempool [5] (#27677#28676), which removes CPFP carve out [6].

25dc87e6f8 libconsensus: deprecate (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
This library has existed for nearly 10 years with very little known uptake or impact. It has become a maintenance burden. In several cases it dictates our code/library structure (for example necessitating LIBBITCOIN_CRYPTO_BASE), as well as build-system procedures (building multiple copies of object files especially for the lib).
Several discussions have arisen wrt migrating it to CMake and it has become difficult to justify adding more complexity for a library that is virtually unused anyway.
See for example the discussions:
https://github.com/hebasto/bitcoin/pull/41https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29123
And here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29180
Where it is pointed out that the libbitcoinconsensus functions are slower than those the internal bitcoind equivalents due to the missing sha2 implementations.
Instead, we (fanquake, hebasto, TheCharlatan, and I) propose simply not migrating it to CMake and letting it end with v27. Any remaining use-cases could be handled in the future by libbitcoinkernel.
If there are any users currently using libbitcoinconsensus, please chime in with your use-case!
Edit: Corrected final release to be v27.

Pull request description:
Replace `LogPrint*` functions with severity based logging functions:
* `LogInfo(...)`, `LogWarning(...)`, `LogError(...)` for unconditional (uncategorised) logging (replaces `LogPrintf`)
* `LogDebug(CATEGORY, ...)` and `LogTrace(CATEGORY, ...)` for conditional logging (replaces `LogPrint`)
* `LogPrintLevel(CATEGORY, LEVEL, ...)` for when the level isn't known in advance, or a category needs to be added for an info/warning/error log message (mostly unchanged, but rarely needed)
Logs look roughly as they do now with `LogInfo` not having an `[info]` prefix, and `LogDebug` having a `[cat]` prefix, rather than a `[cat:debug]` prefix. This removes `BCLog::Level::None` entirely -- for `LogFlags::NONE` just use `Level::Info`, for any actual category, use `Level::Debug`.
Adds docs to developer-notes about when to use which level.
Adds `-loglevelalways=1` option so that you get `[net:debug]`, `[all:info]`, `[all:warning]` etc, which might be helpful for automated parsing, or just if you like everything to be consistent. Defaults to off to reduce noise in the default config, and to avoid unnecessary changes on upgrades.
Changes the behaviour of `LogPrintLevel(CATEGORY, BCLog::Level::Info, ...)` to be logged unconditionally, rather than only being an additional optional logging level in addition to trace and debug. Does not change the behaviour of `LogPrintLevel(NONE, Debug, ...)` and `LogPrintLevel(NONE, Trace, ...)` being no-ops.

fa6b053b5c mempool: persist with XOR (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently the `mempool.dat` file stores data received from remote peers as-is. This may be problematic when a program other than Bitcoin Core tries to interpret them by accident. For example, an anti-virus program or other program may scan the file and move it into quarantine, or delete it, or corrupt it.
While the local wallet is expected to re-submit any pending transactions, unrelated transactions may be missing from the mempool after a restart. This may cause fee estimates to be off, or may cause block relay to be slower.
Fix this, similar to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6650, by rolling a random XOR pattern over the dat file when writing or reading it.
Obviously this can only protect against programs that accidentally and unintentionally are trying to mess with the dat file. Any program that intentionally wants to mess with the dat file can still trivially do so.

This PR adds offline signing tutorial. Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9492
Although there currently exists tutorials on external-signer and on multisig implemented on #24519 . The external-signer tutorial assumes a connected device and the multisig tutorial is only for multisig transactions and does not include using an offline wallet
- The tutorial uses signet(instead of regtest) to be as close as possible to mainnet

91d0888921 sync: unpublish LocksHeld() which is used only in sync.cpp (Vasil Dimov)
3df37e0c78 doc: clarify that LOCK() does AssertLockNotHeld() internally (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
Constructs like
```cpp
AssertLockNotHeld(m);
LOCK(m);
```
are equivalent to (almost, modulo some logging differences, see below)
```cpp
LOCK(m);
```
for non-recursive mutexes, so it is ok to omit `AssertLockNotHeld()` in such cases. Requests to do the former keep coming during review process. `developer-notes.md` explicitly states "Combine annotations in function declarations with run-time asserts in function definitions", but that seems to be too strong or unclear. `LOCK()` is also a run-time assert in this case.
Also remove `LocksHeld()` from the public interface in `sync.h` since it is only used in `sync.cpp`.

Permit (restricted topology) submitpackage RPC outside of regtest. Suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26933#issuecomment-1510851570
This RPC should be safe but still experimental - interface may change, not all features (e.g. package RBF) are implemented, etc. If a miner wants to expose this to people, they can effectively use "package relay" before the p2p changes are implemented. However, please note **this is not package relay**; transactions submitted this way will not relay to other nodes if the feerates are below their mempool min fee. Users should put this behind some kind of rate limit or permissions.

7899402cff Add headerssync-params.py script to the repository (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Builds upon #25946, as it incorporates changes based on the selected values there.
This adds the headerssync tuning parameters optimization script from https://gist.github.com/sipa/016ae445c132cdf65a2791534dfb7ae1 to the repository, updates the parameters based on its output, and adds release process instructions for doing this update in the future.
A few considerations:
* It would be a bit cleaner to have these parameters be part of `CChainParams`, but due to the nature of the approach, it really only applies to chains with unforgeable proof-of-work, which we really can only reasonably expect from mainnet, so I think it's fine to keep them local to `headerssync.cpp`. Keeping them as compile-time evaluatable constants also has a (likely negligible) performance impact (avoiding runtime modulo operations).
* If we want to make sure the chainparams and headerssync params don't go out of date, it could be possible to run the script in CI, and and possibly even have the parameters be generated automatically at build time. I think that's overkill for how unfrequently these need to change, and running the script has non-trivial cost (~minutes in the normal python interpreter).
* A viable alternative is just leaving this out-of-repo entirely, and just do ad-hoc updating from time to time. Having it in the repo and release notes does make sure it's not forgotten, though adds a cost to contributors/maintainers who follow the process.

fa6e6a3f03 doc: Remove confusing assert linter (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `assert()` documentation and linter are redundant and confusing:
* The source code already refuses to compile with `assert()` disabled.
* They violate the assumptions about `Assert()`, which *requires* side effects.
* The existing linter doesn't enforce the guideline, only checking for `++` and `--` side effects.
Fix all issues by removing the docs and the linter. See also https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26684#discussion_r1287370102

This changeset finishes the first phase of the assumeutxo project. It makes UTXO snapshots loadable via RPC (`loadtxoutset`) and adds `assumeutxo` parameters to chainparams. It contains all the remaining changes necessary to both use an assumedvalid snapshot chainstate and do a full validation sync in the background.
This may look like a lot to review, but note that
- ~200 lines are a (non-essential) demo shell script
- Many lines are functional test, documentation, and relatively dilute RPC code.
So it shouldn't be as burdensome to review as the linecount might suggest.
- **P2P**: minor changes are made to `init.cpp` and `net_processing.cpp` to make simultaneous IBD across multiple chainstates work.
- **Pruning**: implement correct pruning behavior when using a background chainstate
- **Blockfile separation**: to prevent "fragmentation" in blockfile storage, have background chainstates use separate blockfiles from active snapshot chainstates to avoid interleaving heights and impairing pruning.
- **Indexing**: some `CValidationInterface` events are given with an additional parameter, ChainstateRole, and all indexers ignore events from ChainstateRole::ASSUMEDVALID so that indexation only happens sequentially.
- Have `-reindex` properly wipe snapshot chainstates.
- **RPC**: introduce RPC commands `loadtxoutset` and (hidden) `getchainstates`.
- **Release docs & first assumeutxo commitment**: add notes and a particular assumeutxo hash value for first AU-enabled release.
- This will complete the project and allow use of UTXO snapshots for faster node bootstrap.
The next phase, if it were to be pursued, would be coming up with a way to distribute the UTXO snapshots over the P2P network.

### UTXO snapshots
Create your own with `./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh`, e.g.
```shell
./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh 788000 utxo.dat ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=$(pwd)/testdata`)
```
or use the pre-generated ones listed below.

### Testing
#### For fun (~5min)
If you want to do a quick test, you can run `./contrib/devtools/test_utxo_snapshots.sh` and follow the instructions. This is mostly obviated by the functional tests, though.
#### For real (longer)
If you'd like to experience a real usage of assumeutxo, you can do that too.
I've cut a new snapshot at height 788'000 (http://img.jameso.be/utxo-788000.dat - but you can do it yourself with `./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh` if you want). Download that, and then create a datadir for testing:
```sh
$ cd ~/src/bitcoin # or whatever
# get the snapshot
$ curl http://img.jameso.be/utxo-788000.dat > utxo-788000.dat
# you'll want to do this if you like copy/pasting
$ export AU_DATADIR=/home/${USER}/au-test # or wherever
$ mkdir ${AU_DATADIR}
$ vim ${AU_DATADIR}/bitcoin.conf
dbcache=8000 # or, you know, something high
blockfilterindex=1
coinstatsindex=1
prune=3000
logthreadnames=1
```
Obtain this branch, build it, and then start bitcoind:
```sh
$ git remote add jamesob https://github.com/jamesob/bitcoin
$ git fetch jamesob assumeutxo
$ git checkout jamesob/assumeutxo
$ ./configure $conf_args && make # (whatever you like to do here)
# start 'er up and watch the logs
$ ./src/bitcoind -datadir=${AU_DATADIR}
```
Then, in some other window, load the snapshot
```sh
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR} loadtxoutset $(pwd)/utxo-788000.dat
```
You'll see some log messages about headers retrieval and waiting to see the snapshot in the headers chain. Once you get the full headers chain, you'll spend a decent amount of time (~10min) loading the snapshot, checking it, and flushing it to disk. After all that happens, you should be syncing to tip in pretty short order, and you'll see the occasional `[background validation]` log message go by.

c405207a18 rpc: `descriptorprocesspsbt` return hex encoded tx (ismaelsadeeq)
Pull request description:
Coming from [#28414 comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28414#pullrequestreview-1618684391) Same thing also for `descriptorprocesspsbt`.
Before this PR `descriptorprocesspsbt` returns a boolean `complete` which indicates that the psbt is final, users then have to call `finalizepsbt` to get the hex encoded network transaction.
In this PR if the psbt is complete the return object also has the hex encoded network transaction ready for broadcast with `sendrawtransaction`.
This save users calling `finalizepsbt` with the descriptor, if it is already complete.

While allowing submitted packages to be slightly larger than what
may be allowed in the mempool to allow simpler reasoning
about contextual-less checks vs chain limits.

4614332fc4 test: remove unnecessary finalizepsbt rpc calls (ismaelsadeeq)
e3d484b603 wallet rpc: return final tx hex from walletprocesspsbt if complete (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28363#discussion_r1315753887
`walletprocesspsbt` currently returns a base64-encoded PSBT and a boolean indicating if the tx is "complete". If it is complete, the base64 PSBT can be finalized with `finalizepsbt` which returns the hex-encoded transaction suitable for `sendrawtransaction`.
With this patch, `walletprocesspsbt` return object will ALSO include the broadcast-able hex string if the tx is already final. This saves users the extra step of calling `finalizepsbt` assuming they have already inspected and approve the transaction from earlier steps.

Pull request description:
This PR proposes a clean up of the relationship between block storage and the chainstate objects, by moving the decision of whether to store a block on disk to something that is not chainstate-specific. Philosophically, the decision of whether to store a block on disk is related to validation rules that do not require any UTXO state; for anti-DoS reasons we were using some chainstate-specific heuristics, and those have been reworked here to achieve the proposed separation.
This PR also fixes a bug in how a chainstate's `setBlockIndexCandidates` was being initialized; it should always have all the HAVE_DATA block index entries that have more work than the chain tip. During startup, we were not fully populating `setBlockIndexCandidates` in some scenarios involving multiple chainstates.
Further, this PR establishes a concept that whenever we have 2 chainstates, that we always know the snapshotted chain's base block and the base block's hash must be an element of our block index. Given that, we can establish a new invariant that the background validation chainstate only needs to consider blocks leading to that snapshotted block entry as potential candidates for its tip. As a followup I would imagine that when writing net_processing logic to download blocks for the background chainstate, that we would use this concept to only download blocks towards the snapshotted entry as well.

Besides the build system changes, this is a mostly move-only change for moving the few UniValue-related functions out of kernel files.
UniValue is not required by any of the kernel components and a JSON library should not need to be part of a consensus library.

Nobody is pushing direct to guix.sigs, nor should they, as that
bypasses CI.
Use a newer example for the testing issue.
Don't duplicate the bitcoincore.org doc instructions.
The thread does not only load blocks, it loads the mempool and,
in a future commit, will start the indexes as well.
Also, renamed the 'ThreadImport' function to 'ImportBlocks'
And the 'm_load_block' class member to 'm_thread_load'.

Pull request description:
1. Clarify when and how to launch the SAM application bridge to address user questions and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22759#issuecomment-1599449753. The bridge is not enabled by default in the Java I2P Router, and the relevant info is somewhat difficult to find in its documentation.
2. Remove a duplicate sentence and link (the preceding paragraph begins with the same sentence and link).
3. Simplify the router options:
- the Java I2P router and i2pd are the two routers have been heavily tested with Bitcoin Core and are what node operators and node software packages are using
- [i2p-zero](https://github.com/i2p-zero/i2p-zero) hasn't been updated since July 2021 and its last release was in December 2020
- the other routers in the wikipedia page are niche and I haven't heard anyone report using them

Pull request description:
Currently when we load a wallet, we just iterate through all of the records in the database and add them completely statelessly. However we have some records which do rely on other records being loaded before they are. To deal with this, we use `CWalletScanState` to hold things temporarily until all of the records have been read and then we load the stateful things.
However this can be slow, and with some future improvements, can cause some pretty drastic slowdowns to retain this pattern. So this PR changes the way we load records by choosing to load the records in a particular order. This lets us do things such as loading a descriptor record, then finding and loading that descriptor's cache and key records. In the future, this will also let us use `IsMine` when loading transactions as then `IsMine` will actually be working as we now always load keys and descriptors before transactions.
In order to get records of a specific type, this PR includes some refactors to how we do database cursors. Functionality is also added to retrieve a cursor that will give us records beginning with a specified prefix.
Lastly, one thing that iterating the entire database let us do was to find unknown records. However even if unknown records were found, we would not do anything with this information except output a number in a log line. With this PR, we would no longer be aware of any unknown records. This does not change functionality as we don't do anything with unknown records, and having unknown records is not an error. Now we would just not be aware that unknown records even exist.
