* cmd/evm: improve flags handling
This fixes some issues with flags in cmd/evm. The supported flags did not
actually show up in help output because they weren't categorized. I'm also
adding the VM-related flags to the run command here so they can be given
after the subcommand name. So it can be run like this now:
./evm run --code 6001 --debug
* cmd/evm: enable all forks by default in run command
The default genesis was just empty with no forks at all, which is annoying because
contracts will be relying on opcodes introduced in a fork. So this changes the default to
have all forks enabled.
* core/asm: fix some issues in the assembler
This fixes minor bugs in the old assembler:
- It is now possible to have comments on the same line as an instruction.
- Errors for invalid numbers in the jump instruction are reported better
- Line numbers in errors were off by one
This updates minisign to the latest version. One new thing is that minisign (not go-minisign) has started to prehash the file, and in order to make geth pass the version-check, we need to sign the file in legacy-mode.
* core/forkid: skip genesis forks by time
* core/forkid: add comment about skipping non-zero fork times
* core/forkid: skip all time based forks in genesis using loop
* core/forkid: simplify logic for dropping time-based forks
This chang creates a GaugeInfo metrics type for registering informational (textual) metrics, e.g. geth version number. It also improves the testing for backend-exporters, and uses a shared subpackage in 'internal' to provide sample datasets and ordered registry.

The PR #26274 broke the evm statetest command a bit, in that it stopped spitting out the stateroot following a non-successful statetest-execution.
This PR changes it back, so the stateroot is unconditionally output on stderr, and makes it so fuzzing works again.
This change implements "EIP 4788 : Beacon block root in the EVM". It implements version-2 of EPI-4788, main difference being that the contract is an actual contract rather than a precompile, as in #27289.
This changes the forkID calculation to ignore time-based forks that occurred before the
genesis block. It's supposed to be done this way because the spec says:
> If a chain is configured to start with a non-Frontier ruleset already in its genesis, that is NOT considered a fork.
The Go authors updated golang/x/ext to change the function signature of the slices sort method.
It's an entire shitshow now because x/ext is not tagged, so everyone's codebase just
picked a new version that some other dep depends on, causing our code to fail building.
This PR updates the dep on our code too and does all the refactorings to follow upstream...
Sets the `currentExcessBlobGas` from env, alternatively calculates it based on `parentExcessBlobGas` and `parentBlobGasUsed`. It then emits the `currentExcessBlobGas` and `currentBlobGasUsed` into the output, to be used as parent-values for a future iteration.

It is usually best to set GOMAXPROCS to the number of available CPU cores. However, setting
it like that does not work well when the process is quota-limited to a certain number of CPUs.
The automaxprocs library configures GOMAXPROCS, taking such limits into account.
This changes the port mapping procedure such that, when the requested port is unavailable
an alternative port suggested by the router is used instead.
We now also repeatedly request the external IP from the router in order to catch any IP changes.

The clean trie cache is persisted periodically, therefore Geth can
quickly warmup the cache in next restart.
However it will reduce the robustness of system. The assumption is
held in Geth that if the parent trie node is present, then the entire
sub-trie associated with the parent are all prensent.
Imagine the scenario that Geth rewinds itself to a past block and
restart, but Geth finds the root node of "future state" in clean
cache then regard this state is present in disk, while is not in fact.
Another example is offline pruning tool. Whenever an offline pruning
is performed, the clean cache file has to be removed to aviod hitting
the root node of "deleted states" in clean cache.
All in all, compare with the minor performance gain, system robustness
is something we care more.
The state availability is checked during the creation of a state reader.
- In hash-based database, if the specified root node does not exist on disk disk, then
the state reader won't be created and an error will be returned.
- In path-based database, if the specified state layer is not available, then the
state reader won't be created and an error will be returned.
This change also contains a stricter semantics regarding the `Commit` operation: once it has been performed, the trie is no longer usable, and certain operations will return an error.

This PR adds server-side limits for JSON-RPC batch requests. Before this change, batches
were limited only by processing time. The server would pick calls from the batch and
answer them until the response timeout occurred, then stop processing the remaining batch
items.
Here, we are adding two additional limits which can be configured:
- the 'item limit': batches can have at most N items
- the 'response size limit': batches can contain at most X response bytes
These limits are optional in package rpc. In Geth, we set a default limit of 1000 items
and 25MB response size.
When a batch goes over the limit, an error response is returned to the client. However,
doing this correctly isn't always possible. In JSON-RPC, only method calls with a valid
`id` can be responded to. Since batches may also contain non-call messages or
notifications, the best effort thing we can do to report an error with the batch itself is
reporting the limit violation as an error for the first method call in the batch. If a batch is
too large, but contains only notifications and responses, the error will be reported with
a null `id`.
The RPC client was also changed so it can deal with errors resulting from too large
batches. An older client connected to the server code in this PR could get stuck
until the request timeout occurred when the batch is too large. **Upgrading to a version
of the RPC client containing this change is strongly recommended to avoid timeout issues.**
For some weird reason, when writing the original client implementation, @fjl worked off of
the assumption that responses could be distributed across batches arbitrarily. So for a
batch request containing requests `[A B C]`, the server could respond with `[A B C]` but
also with `[A B] [C]` or even `[A] [B] [C]` and it wouldn't make a difference to the
client.
So in the implementation of BatchCallContext, the client waited for all requests in the
batch individually. If the server didn't respond to some of the requests in the batch, the
client would eventually just time out (if a context was used).
With the addition of batch limits into the server, we anticipate that people will hit this
kind of error way more often. To handle this properly, the client now waits for a single
response batch and expects it to contain all responses to the requests.

When block import fails, the error displays the number of the first block past the import batch, not the number of the failing block. This change fixes this problem by identifying which blocks fails and reporting its number.
rename parameter
In this case, the naming of "extapi" might create some confusion. Although it represents an External Signer Backend, its name could be mistaken for an API. In reality, it is a backend instance used for communicating with external signers. A better naming choice could be "extBackend" or "externalBackend" to more accurately describe that it is a backend instance rather than an API.
Makes the `geth account ... ` commands usable even if a geth-process is already executing, since the account commands do not read the chaindata, it was not required for those to use the same locking mechanism.

Currently the t8n tool uses the same block number for the current block and its parent while calculating the base fee. This causes incorrect base fee calculation for the london fork block. This commit sets the parent block number to be one less than the current block number
With #25287 we made it so that preimages were not recorded by default. This had the side effect that the evm command is no longer able to dump state since it does a preimage lookup to determine the address represented by a key.
This change enables the recording of preimages when the dump command is given.
Here, the core.Message interface turns into a plain struct and
types.Message gets removed.
This is a breaking change to packages core and core/types. While we do
not promise API stability for package core, we do for core/types. An
exception can be made for types.Message, since it doesn't have any
purpose apart from invoking the state transition in package core.
types.Message was also marked deprecated by the same commit it
got added in, 4dca5d4db7 (November 2016).
The core.Message interface was added in December 2014, in commit
db494170dc, for the purpose of 'testing' state transitions. It's the
same change that made transaction struct fields private. Before that,
the state transition used *types.Transaction directly.
Over time, multiple implementations of the interface accrued across
different packages, since constructing a Message is required whenever
one wants to invoke the state transition. These implementations all
looked very similar, a struct with private fields exposing the fields
as accessor methods.
By changing Message into a struct with public fields we can remove all
these useless interface implementations. It will also hopefully
simplify future changes to the type with less updates to apply across
all of go-ethereum when a field is added to Message.

- rework the `nodeResolver` in `trie.Iterator` to make it compatible with multiple state scheme

This change introduces a breaking change to miner.etherbase is configured.
Previously, users did not need to explicitly set the etherbase address via flag, since 'first' local account was used as etherbase automatically. This change removes the "default first account" feature.
In Proof-of-stake world, the fee recipient address is provided by CL, and not configured in Geth any more - meaning that miner.etherbase is mostly for legacy networks(pow, clique networks etc).
This PR does a few things.
It fixes a shutdown-order flaw in the chainfreezer. Previously, the chain-freezer would shutdown the freezer backend first, and then signal for the loop to exit. This can lead to a scenario where the freezer tries to fsync closed files, which is an error-conditon that could lead to exit via log.Crit.
It also makes the printout more detailed when truncating 'dangling' items, by showing the exact number instead of approximate MB.
This PR also adds calls to fsync files before closing them, and also makes the `db inspect` command slightly more robust.

--syncTarget is a feature for development purpose in post-merge world. Previously
it's added into eth.Config. But it turns out that's a stupid idea.
- syncTarget is a block object, which is hard to be put in config file(large)
- syncTarget is just a dev feature, doesn't make too much sense to add it in config file
So I remove it from the eth config object. And it also fixes the #26328
The new flag allows configuring an explicit endpoint which is to be
announced in the DHT. This feature was originally developed for the
discv5 wormhole experiment (#25798), but it's useful in other contexts
as well.
This PR drops the legacy receipt types, the freezer-migrate command and the startup check. The previous attempt #22852 at this failed because there were users who still had legacy receipts in their db, so it had to be reverted #23247. Since then we added a command to migrate legacy dbs #24028.
As of the last hardforks all users either must have done the migration, or used the --ignore-legacy-receipts flag which will stop working now.
This PR introduces a node scheme abstraction. The interface is only implemented by `hashScheme` at the moment, but will be extended by `pathScheme` very soon.
Apart from that, a few changes are also included which is worth mentioning:
- port the changes in the stacktrie, tracking the path prefix of nodes during commit
- use ethdb.Database for constructing trie.Database. This is not necessary right now, but it is required for path-based used to open reverse diff freezer

The --synctarget is only made available during syncmode=full
Currently, in order to chain together sequential valid t8n transitions the caller must manually calculate the block base fee. This PR adds support for the necessary parent fee market data to calculate the base fee for the current transition.

parentGasUsed
parentGasLimit

This PR makes it so that the snap server responds to trie heal requests when possible, even if the snapshot does not exist. The idea being that it might prolong the lifetime of a state root, so we don't have to pivot quite as often.
This PR makes it possible to set custom headers, in particular for two scenarios:
- geth attach
- geth commands which can use --remotedb, e..g geth db inspect

This PR cleans up the configurations for pruner and snapshotter by passing a config struct.
And also, this PR disables the snapshot background generation if the chain is opened in "read-only" mode. The read-only mode is necessary in some cases. For example, we have a list of commands to open the etheruem node in "read-only" mode, like export-chain. In these cases, the snapshot background generation is non expected and should be banned explicitly.
The abigen exclusion pattern, previously on the form "path:type", now supports wildcards. Examples "*:type" to exclude a named type in all files, or "/path/to/foo.sol:*" all types in foo.sol.
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 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.

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.
