This changes the StorageTrie method to return an error when the trie
is not available. It used to return an 'empty trie' in this case, but that's
not possible anymore under PBSS.
This PR makes it possible to modify the flush interval time via RPC. On one extreme, `0s`, it would act as an archive node. If set to `1h`, means that after one hour of effective block processing time, the trie would be flushed. If one block takes 200ms, this means that a flush would occur every `5*3600=18000` blocks -- however, if the memory size of the cached states grows too large, it will flush sooner.
Essentially, this makes it possible to configure the node to be more or less "archive:ish", and without restarting the node while reconfiguring it.
This removes an RPC test which takes > 90s to execute, and updates the
internal/guide tests to use lighter scrypt parameters.

This PR changes the pending tx subscription to return RPCTransaction types instead of normal Transaction objects. This will fix the inconsistencies with other tx returning API methods (i.e. getTransactionByHash), and also fill in the sender value for the tx.

This adds an option to direct log output to a file. This feature has been
requested a lot. It's sometimes useful to have this available when running
geth in an environment that doesn't easily allow redirecting the output.
Notably, there is no support for log rotation with this change. The --log.file option
opens the file once on startup and then keeps writing to the file handle.
This can become an issue when external log rotation tools are involved, so it's
best not to use them with this option for now.
This changes the CI build to store the git commit and date into package
internal/version instead of package main. Doing this essentially merges our
two ways of tracking the go-ethereum version into a single place, achieving
two objectives:
- Bad block reports, which use version.Info(), will now have the git commit
information even when geth is built in an environment such as
launchpad.net where git access is unavailable.
- For geth builds created by `go build ./cmd/geth` (i.e. not using `go run
build/ci.go install`), git information stored by the go tool is now used
in the p2p node name as well as in `geth version` and `geth
version-check`.
This change makes eth_getProof and eth_getStorageAt return an error when
the argument contains invalid hex in storage keys.

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.
Some small fixes to get the existing debug methods to conform to the spec. Mainly dropping the encoding information from the method name as it should be deduced from the debug context and allowing the method to be invoked by either block number or block hash. It also adds the method debug_getTransaction which returns the raw tx bytes by tx hash. This is pretty much equivalent to the eth_getRawTransactionByHash method.
This adds a cache for block logs which is shared by all filters. The cache
size of is configurable using the `--cache.blocklogs` flag.

This adds support for building statically-linked executables using ci.go.
Static linking is enabled by default in Docker builds, making it possible to
use the geth executable in any Docker image, regardless of the Linux
distribution the Dockerfile is based on.

Because the goal of eth_createAccessList is providing the caller with the largest-possible
access list, it's generally not important that the gas limit used by the tracer will match the usage
of the call exactly. Avoiding the gas estimation step is a performance improvement. As long as the
call does not branch based on gas limit, the returned access list will be accurate.
* internal/ethapi: error if tx args includes chain id that doesn't match local
* internal/ethapi: simplify code a bit

This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
This enables the following linters
- typecheck
- unused
- staticcheck
- bidichk
- durationcheck
- exportloopref
- gosec
WIth a few exceptions.
- We use a deprecated protobuf in trezor. I didn't want to mess with that, since I cannot meaningfully test any changes there.
- The deprecated TypeMux is used in a few places still, so the warning for it is silenced for now.
- Using string type in context.WithValue is apparently wrong, one should use a custom type, to prevent collisions between different places in the hierarchy of callers. That should be fixed at some point, but may require some attention.
- The warnings for using weak random generator are squashed, since we use a lot of random without need for cryptographic guarantees.
