Half of the replacement for #24232. The original PR grew larger than expected throughout the review process.
This change adds the ability to initialize a snapshot-based chainstate during init if one is detected on disk. This is of course unused as of now (aside from in unittests) given that we haven't yet enabled actually loading snapshots.
Don't be scared! There are some big move-only commits in here.
Accompanying changes include:
- moving the snapshot coinsdb directory from being called `chainstate_[base blockhash]` to `chainstate_snapshot`, since we only support one snapshot in use at a time. This simplifies some logic, but it necessitates writing that base blockhash out to a file within the coinsdb dir. See [discussion here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24232#discussion_r832762880).
- adding a simple fix in `FlushBlockFile()` that avoids a crash when attemping to flush to disk before `LoadBlockIndexDB()` is called, which happens when calling `MaybeRebalanceCaches()` during multiple chainstate init.
- improving the unittest to allow testing with on-disk chainstates - necessary to test a simulated restart and re-initialization.

Add functionality for activating a snapshot-based chainstate if one is
detected on-disk.
Also cautiously initialize chainstate cache usages so that we don't
somehow blow past our cache allowances during initialization, then
rebalance at the end of init.

Pull request description:
New nodes starting up for the first time lack protection against DoS from low-difficulty headers. While checkpoints serve as our protection against headers that fork from the main chain below the known checkpointed values, this protection only applies to nodes that have been able to download the honest chain to the checkpointed heights.
We can protect all nodes from DoS from low-difficulty headers by adopting a different strategy: before we commit to storing a header in permanent storage, first verify that the header is part of a chain that has sufficiently high work (either `nMinimumChainWork`, or something comparable to our tip). This means that we will download headers from a given peer twice: once to verify the work on the chain, and a second time when permanently storing the headers.
The p2p protocol doesn't provide an easy way for us to ensure that we receive the same headers during the second download of peer's headers chain. To ensure that a peer doesn't (say) give us the main chain in phase 1 to trick us into permanently storing an alternate, low-work chain in phase 2, we store commitments to the headers during our first download, which we validate in the second download.
Some parameters must be chosen for commitment size/frequency in phase 1, and validation of commitments in phase 2. In this PR, those parameters are chosen to both (a) minimize the per-peer memory usage that an attacker could utilize, and (b) bound the expected amount of permanent memory that an attacker could get us to use to be well-below the memory growth that we'd get from the honest chain (where we expect 1 new block header every 10 minutes).
After this PR, we should be able to remove checkpoints from our code, which is a nice philosophical change for us to make as well, as there has been confusion over the years about the role checkpoints play in Bitcoin's consensus algorithm.
Thanks to Pieter Wuille for collaborating on this design.

In order to prevent memory DoS, we must ensure that we don't accept a new
header into memory until we've performed anti-DoS checks, such as verifying
that the header is part of a sufficiently high work chain. This commit adds a
new argument to AcceptBlockHeader() so that we can ensure that all call-sites
which might cause a new header to be accepted into memory have to grapple with
the question of whether the header is safe to accept, or needs further
validation.
This patch also fixes two places where low-difficulty-headers could have been
processed without such validation (processing an unrequested block from the
network, and processing a compact block).
Credit to Niklas Gögge for noticing this issue, and thanks to Sjors Provoost
for test code.
Avoid permanently storing headers from a peer, unless the headers are part of a
chain with sufficiently high work. This prevents memory attacks using low-work
headers.

32024d40f03fbf47c64d814fa5f2c2a73ec14cb7 scripted-diff: remove mention of BIP125 from non-signaling var names (glozow)
Pull request description:
We have pretty thorough documentation of our RBF policy in doc/policy/mempool-replacements.md. It enumerates each rule with several sentences of rationale. Also, each rule pretty much has its own function (3 and 4 share one), with extensive comments. The doc states explicitly that our rules are similar but differ from BIP125, and contains a record of historical changes to RBF policy.
We should not use "BIP125" as synonymous with our RBF policy because:
- Our RBF policy is different from what is specified in BIP125, for example:
- the BIP does not mention our rule about the replacement feerate being higher (our Rule 6)
- the BIP uses minimum relay feerate for Rule 4, while we have used incremental relay feerate since #9380
- the "inherited signaling" question (CVE-2021-31876). Call it discrepancy, ambiguous wording, doc misinterpretation, or implementation details, I would recommend users refer to doc/policy/mempool-replacements.md
- the signaling policy is configurable, see #25353
- Our RBF policy may change further
- We have already marked BIP125 as only "partially implemented" in docs/bips.md since 1fd49eb498c75a1d14193bb736d195a3dc75ae12
- See comments from people who are not me recently:
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25038#discussion_r909507429
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25575#issuecomment-1179519204
This PR removes all non-signaling mentions of BIP125 (if people feel strongly, we can remove all mentions of BIP125 period). It may be useful to refer to the concept of "tx opts in to RBF if it has at least one nSequence less than (0xffffffff - 1)" as "BIP125 signaling" because:
- It is succint.
- It has already been widely marketed as BIP125 opt-in signaling.
- Our API uses it when referring to signaling (e.g. getmempoolentry["bip125-replaceable"] and wallet error message "not BIP 125 replaceable"). Changing those is more invasive.
- If/when we have other ways to signal in the future, we can disambiguate them this way. See #25038 which proposes another way of signaling, and where I pulled these commits from.
Alternatives:
- Changing our policy to match BIP125. This doesn't make sense as, for example, we would have to remove the requirement that a replacement tx has a higher feerate (Rule 6).
- Changing BIP125 to match what we have. This doesn't make sense as it would be a significant change to a BIP years after it was finalized and already used as a spec to implement RBF in other places.
- Document our policy as a new BIP and give it a number. This might make sense if we don't expect things to change a lot, and can be done as a next step.

This is a refactor, putting the burden to think about thread safety to
the caller. Otherwise, there is a risk that the caller will assume
thread safety where none exists, as is evident in the previous two
commits.

Our RBF policy is different from the rules specified in BIP125. For
example, the BIP does not mention Rule 6, and our Rule 4 uses the
(configurable) incremental relay feerate (distinct from the
minimum relay feerate). Those interested in our policy should refer to
doc/policy/mempool-replacements.md instead. These rules may also
continue to diverge with package RBF and other RBF improvements. Keep
references to the BIP125 signaling wrt sequence numbers, since that is
still correct and widely used. It is helpful to refer to this as "BIP125
signaling" since it is unambiguous and succint, especially if we have
multiple ways to signal replaceability in the future.
The rule numbers in doc/policy/mempool-replacements.md correspond
largely to those of BIP 125, so we can still refer to them like "Rule 5."
Also:
- Make DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_SIZE into constexpr
DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_BYTES to utilize the compile-time integer
arithmetic overflow checking available to constexpr.
- Fix comment (MiB instead of MB) for DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_BYTES.
- Pass in max_size_bytes parameter to InitS*Cache(), modify log line to
no longer allude to maxsigcachesize being split evenly between the two
validation caches.
- Fix possible integer truncation and add a comment.
[META] I've kept the integer types as int64_t in order to not introduce
unintended behaviour changes, in the next commit we will make
them size_t.
Returning the approximate total size eliminates the need for
InitS*Cache() to do nElems*sizeof(uint256). The cuckoocache has a better
idea of this information.
dd065dae9fcebd6806ff67703ffa8128e80b97cc refactor: Make mapBlocksUnknownParent local, and rename it (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This PR is a second attempt at #19594. This PR has two motivations:
- Improve code hygiene by eliminating a global variable, `mapBlocksUnknownParent`
- Fix fuzz test OOM when running too long ([see #19594 comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19594#issuecomment-958801638))
A minor added advantage is to release `mapBlocksUnknownParent` memory when the reindexing phase is done. The current situation is somewhat similar to a memory leak because this map exists unused for the remaining lifetime of the process. It's true that this map should be empty of data elements after use, but its internal metadata (indexing structures, etc.) can have non-trivial size because there can be many thousands of simultaneous elements in this map.
This PR helps our efforts to reduce the use of global variables. This variable isn't just global, it's hidden inside a function (it looks like a local variable but has the `static` attribute).
This global variable exists because the `-reindex` processing code calls `LoadExternalBlockFile()` multiple times (once for each block file), but that function must preserve some state between calls (the `mapBlocksUnknownParent` map). This PR fixes this by allocating this map as a local variable in the caller's scope and passing it in on each call. When reindexing completes, the map goes out of scope and is deallocated.
I tested this manually by reindexing on mainnet and signet. Also, the existing `feature_reindex.py` functional test passes.

This is part of the `libbitcoinkernel` project: #24303, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/18
-----
This PR moves `{Dump,Load}Mempool` into its own `kernel/mempool_persist` module and introduces `ArgsManager` `node::` helpers in `node/mempool_persist_args`to remove the scattered calls to `GetBoolArg("-persistmempool", DEFAULT_PERSIST_MEMPOOL)`.
More context can be gleaned from the commit messages.
-----
One thing I was reflecting on as I wrote this was that in the long run, I think we should probably invert the validation <-> mempool relationship. Instead of mempool not depending on validation, it might make more sense to have validation not depend on mempool. Not super urgent since `libbitcoinkernel` will include both validation and mempool, but perhaps something for the future.

Also:
1. Have CChainState::LoadMempool and ::ThreadImport take in paths and
pass it through untouched to LoadMempool.
2. Make LoadMempool exit early if the load_path is empty.
3. Adjust the call to ::ThreadImport in ::AppInitMain to correctly pass
in an empty path if mempool persistence is disabled.
Not only does this increase coverage, it is also more correct in that
when ::LoadMempool is called with a mempool and chainstate, it calls
AcceptToMemoryPool with just the chainstate.
AcceptToMemoryPool will then act on the chainstate's mempool via
CChainState::GetMempool, which may be different from the mempool
originally passed to ::LoadMempool. (In this fuzz test's case, it
definitely is different)
Also, move DummyChainstate to its own file since it's now used by the
validation_load_mempool fuzz test to replace CChainState's m_mempool.
Also introduce node::{ShouldPersistMempool,MempoolPath} helper functions
in node/mempool_persist_args.{h,cpp} which are used by non-kernel
DumpMempool callers to determine whether or not to automatically dump
the mempool and where to dump it to.
- Store the mempool expiry (-mempoolexpiry) in CTxMemPool as a
std::chrono::seconds member.
- Remove the requirement to explicitly specify a mempool expiry for
LimitMempoolSize(...), just use the newly-introduced member.
- Remove all now-unnecessary instances of:
std::chrono::hours{gArgs.GetIntArg("-mempoolexpiry", DEFAULT_MEMPOOL_EXPIRY)}

Pull request description:
This changes `LOCK(mutex)` for non-global, non-recursive mutexes to be annotated with the negative capability for the mutex it refers to, to prevent . clang applies negative capabilities recursively, so this helps avoid forgetting to annotate functions.
This can't reasonably be used for globals, because clang would require every function to be annotated with `EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(!g_mutex)` for each global mutex; so this introduces a trivial `GlobalMutex` subclass of `Mutex`, and reduces the annotations for both `GlobalMutex` to `LOCKS_EXCLUDED` which only catches trivial errors (eg (`LOCK(x); LOCK(x);`).

We want m_chainparams to be alive for the duration of
ChainstateManager's lifetime since ChainstateManager's behaviour depends
on m_chainparams.
We could allow for a std::shared_ptr to be passed in as m_chainparams,
but that complicates things further. Given that CChainParams is not an
entity class or struct, we can just copy it and have ChainstateManager
own it.
This decouples validation.cpp from netaddress.cpp (transitively,
timedata.cpp, and asmap.cpp).
This is important for libbitcoinkernel as:
- There is no reason for the consensus engine to be coupled with
netaddress, timedata, and asmap
- Users of libbitcoinkernel can now easily supply their own
std::function that provides the adjusted time.
See the src/Makefile.am changes for some satisfying removals.
[META] Although it seems like we don't need it for just one option,
we're going to introduce another member to this struct *in the
next commit*. In future patchsets for libbitcoinkernel decoupling
it from ArgsManager, even more members will be added here.
