This change
- Removes interface `log.Format`,
- Removes method `log.FormatFunc`,
- unexports `TerminalHandler.TerminalFormat` formatting methods (renamed to `TerminalHandler.format`)
- removes the notion of `log.Lazy` values
The lazy handler was useful in the old log package, since it
could defer the evaluation of costly attributes until later in the
log pipeline: thus, if the logging was done at 'Trace', we could
skip evaluation if logging only was set to 'Info'.
With the move to slog, this way of deferring evaluation is no longer
needed, since slog introduced 'Enabled': the caller can thus do
the evaluate-or-not decision at the callsite, which is much more
straight-forward than dealing with lazy reflect-based evaluation.
Also, lazy evaluation would not work with 'native' slog, as in, these
two statements would be evaluated differently:
```golang
log.Info("foo", "my lazy", lazyObj)
slog.Info("foo", "my lazy", lazyObj)
```
These changes improves the performance of the non-coloured terminal formatting, _quite a lot_.

I tried to _somewhat_ organize the commits, but the it might still be a bit chaotic. Some core insights:
- The function `terminalHandler.Handl` uses a mutex, and writes all output immediately to 'upstream'. Thus, it can reuse a scratch-buffer every time.
- This buffer can be propagated internally, making all the internal formatters either write directly to it,
- OR, make use of the `tmp := buf.AvailableBuffer()` in some cases, where a byte buffer "extra capacity" can be temporarily used.
- The `slog` package uses `Attr` by value. It makes sense to minimize operating on them, since iterating / collecting into a new slice, iterating again etc causes copy-on-heap. Better to operate on them only once.
- If we want to do padding, it's better to copy from a constant `space`-buffer than to invoke `bytes.Repeat` every single time.
This PR replaces Geth's logger package (a fork of [log15](https://github.com/inconshreveable/log15)) with an implementation using slog, a logging library included as part of the Go standard library as of Go1.21.
Main changes are as follows:
* removes any log handlers that were unused in the Geth codebase.
* Json, logfmt, and terminal formatters are now slog handlers.
* Verbosity level constants are changed to match slog constant values. Internal translation is done to make this opaque to the user and backwards compatible with existing `--verbosity` and `--vmodule` options.
* `--log.backtraceat` and `--log.debug` are removed.
The external-facing API is largely the same as the existing Geth logger. Logger method signatures remain unchanged.
A small semantic difference is that a `Handler` can only be set once per `Logger` and not changed dynamically. This just means that a new logger must be instantiated every time the handler of the root logger is changed.

For users of the `go-ethereum/log` module. If you were using this module for your own project, you will need to change the initialization. If you previously did
```golang
log.Root().SetHandler(log.LvlFilterHandler(log.LvlInfo, log.StreamHandler(os.Stderr, log.TerminalFormat(true))))
```
You now instead need to do
```golang
log.SetDefault(log.NewLogger(log.NewTerminalHandlerWithLevel(os.Stderr, log.LevelInfo, true)))
```

This PR is a bit in preparation for the slog work in #28187 .
Our current test re logging mostly test the internals, but we have no real end-to-end test of the logging output. This PR introduces a simple reexec-based log tester. This also relies upon a special mode in geth, which can be made to eject a set of predefined log messages (only available if the build-tag `integrationtests` is used
e.g. go run --tags=integrationtests ./cmd/geth --log.format terminal logtest
While working on this, I also noticed a quirk in the setup: when geth was configured to use a file output, then two separate handlers were used (one handler for the file, one handler for the console). Using two separate handlers means that two formatters are used, thus the formatting of any/all records happened twice. This PR changes the mechanism to use two separate io.Writers instead, which is both more optimal and fixes a bug which occurs due to a global statefulness in the formatter.
* log: allow tabs in log messages
This fixes a regression where panic reports in RPC handlers were quoted
because they contain tab characters.
* Update format.go
* dep: upgrade secp256k1 to use btcec/v2 v2.3.2 and update insecurity pkg
* build ci: upgrade go to 1.19 and golangci-lint to 1.50.1
* docs: fix format that does not follow the goimports
* dep: redirect github.com/bnb-chain/tendermint to v0.31.13
* ci: disable GOPROXY
This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
* log: fix formatting of big.Int
The implementation of formatLogfmtBigInt had two issues: it crashed when
the number was actually large enough to hit the big integer case, and
modified the big.Int while formatting it.
* log: don't call FormatLogfmtInt64 for int16
* log: separate from decimals back, not front
Co-authored-by: Péter Szilágyi <peterke@gmail.com>
* all: add thousandths separators for big numbers on log messages
* p2p/sentry: drop accidental file
* common, log: add fast number formatter
* common, eth/protocols/snap: simplifty fancy num types
* log: handle nil big ints
This commit adds all changes needed for the merge of swarm-network-rewrite.
The changes:
- build: increase linter timeout
- contracts/ens: export ensNode
- log: add Output method and enable fractional seconds in format
- metrics: relax test timeout
- p2p: reduced some log levels, updates to simulation packages
- rpc: increased maxClientSubscriptionBuffer to 20000
This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
