* rlp: improve decoder stream implementation (#22858)
This commit makes various cleanup changes to rlp.Stream.
* rlp: shrink Stream struct
This removes a lot of unused padding space in Stream by reordering the
fields. The size of Stream changes from 120 bytes to 88 bytes. Stream
instances are internally cached and reused using sync.Pool, so this does
not improve performance.
* rlp: simplify list stack
The list stack kept track of the size of the current list context as
well as the current offset into it. The size had to be stored in the
stack in order to subtract it from the remaining bytes of any enclosing
list in ListEnd. It seems that this can be implemented in a simpler
way: just subtract the size from the enclosing list context in List instead.
* rlp: use atomic.Value for type cache (#22902)
All encoding/decoding operations read the type cache to find the
writer/decoder function responsible for a type. When analyzing CPU
profiles of geth during sync, I found that the use of sync.RWMutex in
cache lookups appears in the profiles. It seems we are running into
CPU cache contention problems when package rlp is heavily used
on all CPU cores during sync.
This change makes it use atomic.Value + a writer lock instead of
sync.RWMutex. In the common case where the typeinfo entry is present in
the cache, we simply fetch the map and lookup the type.
* rlp: optimize byte array handling (#22924)
This change improves the performance of encoding/decoding [N]byte.

* rlp: optimize big.Int decoding for size <= 32 bytes (#22927)
This change grows the static integer buffer in Stream to 32 bytes,
making it possible to decode 256bit integers without allocating a
temporary buffer.
In the recent commit 088da24, Stream struct size decreased from 120
bytes down to 88 bytes. This commit grows the struct to 112 bytes again,
but the size change will not degrade performance because Stream
instances are internally cached in sync.Pool.

* eth/protocols/eth, les: avoid Raw() when decoding HashOrNumber (#22841)
Getting the raw value is not necessary to decode this type, and
decoding it directly from the stream is faster.

The leaks were mostly in unit tests, and could all be resolved by
adding suitably-sized channel buffers or by restructuring the test
to not send on a channel after an error has occurred.
There is an unavoidable goroutine leak in Console.Interactive: when
we receive a signal, the line reader cannot be unblocked and will get
stuck. This leak is now documented and I've tried to make it slightly
less bad by adding a one-element buffer to the output channels of
the line-reading loop. Should the reader eventually awake from its
blocked state (i.e. when stdin is closed), at least it won't get stuck
trying to send to the interpreter loop which has quit long ago.

Feed keeps active subscription channels in a slice called 'f.sendCases'.
The Send method tracks the active cases in a local variable 'cases'
whose value is f.sendCases initially. 'cases' shrinks to a shorter
prefix of f.sendCases every time a send succeeds, moving the successful
case out of range of the active case list.
This can be confusing because the two slices share a backing array. Add
more comments to document what is going on. Also add a test for removing
a case that is in 'f.sentCases' but not 'cases'.
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
event: address Feed review issues
event: clarify role of NewSubscription function
event: more Feed review fixes
* take sendLock after dropping f.mu
* add constant for number of special cases
event: fix subscribing/unsubscribing while Send is blocked
This commit introduces a new Subscription type, which is synonymous with
ethereum.Subscription. It also adds a couple of utilities that make
working with Subscriptions easier. The mot complex utility is Feed, a
synchronisation device that implements broadcast subscriptions. Feed is
slightly faster than TypeMux and will replace uses of TypeMux across the
go-ethereum codebase in the future.
The Subscription type is gone, all uses are replaced by
*TypeMuxSubscription. This change is prep-work for the
introduction of the new Subscription type in a later commit.
gorename -from '"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/event"::Event' -to TypeMuxEvent
gorename -from '"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/event"::muxsub' -to TypeMuxSubscription
gofmt -w -r 'Subscription -> *TypeMuxSubscription' ./event/*.go
find . -name '*.go' -and -not -regex '\./vendor/.*' \| xargs gofmt -w -r 'event.Subscription -> *event.TypeMuxSubscription'
This fixes an issue where the following would lead to a panic due to a
channel being closed twice:
* Start mux
* Stop mux
* Sub to mux
* Unsub
This is fixed by setting the subscriptions status to closed resulting in
the Unsubscribe to ignore the request when called.
Moved the filtering system from `event` to `eth/filters` package and
removed the `core.Filter` object. The `filters.Filter` object now
requires a `common.Database` rather than a `eth.Backend` and invokes the
`core.GetBlockByX` directly rather than thru a "manager".
