Add get_fork_version and add_ideal_fork_version to core so
cryptonote_protocol does not have to need the Blockchain
class directly, as it's not in its dependencies, and add
those to the fake core classes in tests too.
This is to prevent unbounded memory use. Since I don't think there
is a container that has quick insert, quick lookup, and automatic
FIFO, I use two and swap every N, clearing the oldest one.
You're wondering how this fixes core tests, aren't you...
It prevents the miner (initialized by cryptonote::core) from
breaking trying to access arguments that were not added.
Since the tests don't use the miner directly, it makes more
sense to have cryptonote_core add those, since it also uses
the miner.
They're now used by core to determine the data directory to use
for the txpool directory.
This fixes an assert in the core tests, which don't use the RPC
server, which normally initializes the P2P code.

poolstate.bin and p2pstate.bin are stored in .bitmonero/ if the default
P2P port is being used.
If another port is used both files are stored in
.bitmonero/PORTNUMBER/.
This replaces the epee and data_loggers logging systems with
a single one, and also adds filename:line and explicit severity
levels. Categories may be defined, and logging severity set
by category (or set of categories). epee style 0-4 log level
maps to a sensible severity configuration. Log files now also
rotate when reaching 100 MB.
To select which logs to output, use the MONERO_LOGS environment
variable, with a comma separated list of categories (globs are
supported), with their requested severity level after a colon.
If a log matches more than one such setting, the last one in
the configuration string applies. A few examples:
This one is (mostly) silent, only outputting fatal errors:
MONERO_LOGS=*:FATAL
This one is very verbose:
MONERO_LOGS=*:TRACE
This one is totally silent (logwise):
MONERO_LOGS=""
This one outputs all errors and warnings, except for the
"verify" category, which prints just fatal errors (the verify
category is used for logs about incoming transactions and
blocks, and it is expected that some/many will fail to verify,
hence we don't want the spam):
MONERO_LOGS=*:WARNING,verify:FATAL
Log levels are, in decreasing order of priority:
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE
Subcategories may be added using prefixes and globs. This
example will output net.p2p logs at the TRACE level, but all
other net* logs only at INFO:
MONERO_LOGS=*:ERROR,net*:INFO,net.p2p:TRACE
Logs which are intended for the user (which Monero was using
a lot through epee, but really isn't a nice way to go things)
should use the "global" category. There are a few helper macros
for using this category, eg: MGINFO("this shows up by default")
or MGINFO_RED("this is red"), to try to keep a similar look
and feel for now.
Existing epee log macros still exist, and map to the new log
levels, but since they're used as a "user facing" UI element
as much as a logging system, they often don't map well to log
severities (ie, a log level 0 log may be an error, or may be
something we want the user to see, such as an important info).
In those cases, I tried to use the new macros. In other cases,
I left the existing macros in. When modifying logs, it is
probably best to switch to the new macros with explicit levels.
The --log-level options and set_log commands now also accept
category settings, in addition to the epee style log levels.

"fastest" still defaults to fastest:async:1000.
Added a new command to the P2P protocol definitions to allow querying for support flags.
Implemented handling of new support flags command in net_node. Changed for_each callback template to include support flags. Updated print_connections command to show peer support flags.
Added p2p constant for signaling fluffy block support.
Added get_pool_transaction function to cryptnote_core.
Added new commands to cryptonote protocol for relaying fluffy blocks.
Implemented handling of fluffy block command in cryptonote protocol.
Enabled fluffy block support in node initial configuration.
Implemented get_testnet function in cryptonote_core.
Made it so that fluffy blocks only run on testnet.
The code used to cap at 5000 blocks per sync. It also treated 0 as 1.
Remove these checks; if specified as 0 do no periodic syncs at all.
Then the user is responsible for syncing in some external process.
This plugs a privacy leak from the wallet to the daemon,
as the daemon could previously see what input is included
as a transaction input, which the daemon hadn't previously
supplied. Now, the wallet requests a particular set of
outputs, including the real one.
This can result in transactions that can't be accepted if
the wallet happens to select too many outputs with non standard
unlock times. The daemon could know this and select another
output, but the wallet is blind to it. It's currently very
unlikely since I don't think anything uses non default
unlock times. The wallet requests more outputs than necessary
so it can use spares if any of the returns outputs are still
locked. If there are not enough spares to reach the desired
mixin, the transaction will fail.
This allows appropriate action to be taken, like displaying
the reason to the user.
Do just that in simplewallet, which should help a lot in
determining why users fail to send.
Also make it so a tx which is accepted but not relayed is
seen as a success rather than a failure.
The functions in src/cryptonote_core/checkpoints_create.{h,cpp} should
be member functions of the checkpoints class, if nothing else for the
sake of keeping their documentation together.
This commit covers moving those functions to be member functions of the
checkpoints class as well as documenting those functions.
We also replace the --fakechain option with an optional structure
containing details about configuration for the core/blockchain,
for test purposes. This seems more future friendly.
Locking just one db turns out to not have been a good idea, since
the pool and p2p state fdles have to be used anyway.
Also ensure the directory exists before tring to lock.
A boost lock is used to determine whether more than one process
wants to access the database. The boost file_lock doesn't seem
to like locking directories, so we use an arbitrary file in it.
This allows to still run two daemons if they have different
database directories (ie, LMDB/BDB, different data directories).
The core tests use the blockchain, and reset it to be able
to add test data to it. This does not play nice with the
databases, since those will save that data without an explicit
save call.
We add a fakechain flag that the tests will set, which tells
the core and blockchain code to use a separate database, as
well as skip a few things like checkpoints and fixup, which
only make sense for real data.
This fixes coretests, which does not register daemon specific arguments,
but uses core, which uses those arguments. Also gets rid of an unwanted
dependency on daemon code from core.
The last relayed time of a transaction is maintained, and
transactions will be relayed again if they are still in the
pool after a certain amount of time, which increases with
the transaction's age. All such transactions are resent,
whether or not they originated on the local node.
Bockchain:
1. Optim: Multi-thread long-hash computation when encountering groups of blocks.
2. Optim: Cache verified txs and return result from cache instead of re-checking whenever possible.
3. Optim: Preload output-keys when encoutering groups of blocks. Sort by amount and global-index before bulk querying database and multi-thread when possible.
4. Optim: Disable double spend check on block verification, double spend is already detected when trying to add blocks.
5. Optim: Multi-thread signature computation whenever possible.
6. Patch: Disable locking (recursive mutex) on called functions from check_tx_inputs which causes slowdowns (only seems to happen on ubuntu/VMs??? Reason: TBD)
7. Optim: Removed looped full-tx hash computation when retrieving transactions from pool (???).
8. Optim: Cache difficulty/timestamps (735 blocks) for next-difficulty calculations so that only 2 db reads per new block is needed when a new block arrives (instead of 1470 reads).
Berkeley-DB:
1. Fix: 32-bit data errors causing wrong output global indices and failure to send blocks to peers (etc).
2. Fix: Unable to pop blocks on reorganize due to transaction errors.
3. Patch: Large number of transaction aborts when running multi-threaded bulk queries.
4. Patch: Insufficient locks error when running full sync.
5. Patch: Incorrect db stats when returning from an immediate exit from "pop block" operation.
6. Optim: Add bulk queries to get output global indices.
7. Optim: Modified output_keys table to store public_key+unlock_time+height for single transaction lookup (vs 3)
8. Optim: Used output_keys table retrieve public_keys instead of going through output_amounts->output_txs+output_indices->txs->output:public_key
9. Optim: Added thread-safe buffers used when multi-threading bulk queries.
10. Optim: Added support for nosync/write_nosync options for improved performance (*see --db-sync-mode option for details)
11. Mod: Added checkpoint thread and auto-remove-logs option.
12. *Now usable on 32-bit systems like RPI2.
LMDB:
1. Optim: Added custom comparison for 256-bit key tables (minor speed-up, TBD: get actual effect)
2. Optim: Modified output_keys table to store public_key+unlock_time+height for single transaction lookup (vs 3)
3. Optim: Used output_keys table retrieve public_keys instead of going through output_amounts->output_txs+output_indices->txs->output:public_key
4. Optim: Added support for sync/writemap options for improved performance (*see --db-sync-mode option for details)
5. Mod: Auto resize to +1GB instead of multiplier x1.5
ETC:
1. Minor optimizations for slow-hash for ARM (RPI2). Incomplete.
2. Fix: 32-bit saturation bug when computing next difficulty on large blocks.
[PENDING ISSUES]
1. Berkely db has a very slow "pop-block" operation. This is very noticeable on the RPI2 as it sometimes takes > 10 MINUTES to pop a block during reorganization.
This does not happen very often however, most reorgs seem to take a few seconds but it possibly depends on the number of outputs present. TBD.
2. Berkeley db, possible bug "unable to allocate memory". TBD.
[NEW OPTIONS] (*Currently all enabled for testing purposes)
1. --fast-block-sync arg=[0:1] (default: 1)
a. 0 = Compute long hash per block (may take a while depending on CPU)
b. 1 = Skip long-hash and verify blocks based on embedded known good block hashes (faster, minimal CPU dependence)
2. --db-sync-mode arg=[[safe|fast|fastest]:[sync|async]:[nblocks_per_sync]] (default: fastest:async:1000)
a. safe = fdatasync/fsync (or equivalent) per stored block. Very slow, but safest option to protect against power-out/crash conditions.
b. fast/fastest = Enables asynchronous fdatasync/fsync (or equivalent). Useful for battery operated devices or STABLE systems with UPS and/or systems with battery backed write cache/solid state cache.
Fast - Write meta-data but defer data flush.
Fastest - Defer meta-data and data flush.
Sync - Flush data after nblocks_per_sync and wait.
Async - Flush data after nblocks_per_sync but do not wait for the operation to finish.
3. --prep-blocks-threads arg=[n] (default: 4 or system max threads, whichever is lower)
Max number of threads to use when computing long-hash in groups.
4. --show-time-stats arg=[0:1] (default: 1)
Show benchmark related time stats.
5. --db-auto-remove-logs arg=[0:1] (default: 1)
For berkeley-db only. Auto remove logs if enabled.
**Note: lmdb and berkeley-db have changes to the tables and are not compatible with official git head version.
At the moment, you need a full resync to use this optimized version.
[PERFORMANCE COMPARISON]
**Some figures are approximations only.
Using a baseline machine of an i7-2600K+SSD+(with full pow computation):
1. The optimized lmdb/blockhain core can process blocks up to 585K for ~1.25 hours + download time, so it usually takes 2.5 hours to sync the full chain.
2. The current head with memory can process blocks up to 585K for ~4.2 hours + download time, so it usually takes 5.5 hours to sync the full chain.
3. The current head with lmdb can process blocks up to 585K for ~32 hours + download time and usually takes 36 hours to sync the full chain.
Averate procesing times (with full pow computation):
lmdb-optimized:
1. tx_ave = 2.5 ms / tx
2. block_ave = 5.87 ms / block
memory-official-repo:
1. tx_ave = 8.85 ms / tx
2. block_ave = 19.68 ms / block
lmdb-official-repo (0f4a036437)
1. tx_ave = 47.8 ms / tx
2. block_ave = 64.2 ms / block
**Note: The following data denotes processing times only (does not include p2p download time)

2. RPI2. Improved from estimated 3 months(???) into 2.5 days (*Need 2AMP supply + Clock:1Ghz + [usb+ssd] to achieve this speed) (--db-sync-mode=fastest:async:1000).
berkeley-db optimized processing times (with per-block-checkpoint)
1. RPI2. 12-15 hours (*Need 2AMP supply + Clock:1Ghz + [usb+ssd] to achieve this speed) (--db-sync-mode=fastest:async:1000).
There will need to be some more refactoring for these changes to be
considered complete/correct, but for now it's working.
new daemon cli argument "--db-type", works for LMDB and BerkeleyDB.
A good deal of refactoring is also present in this commit, namely
Blockchain no longer instantiates BlockchainDB, but rather is passed a
pointer to an already-instantiated BlockchainDB on init().
The RPC calls the daemon executable uses to talk to the running daemon
instance have mostly been added back in. Rate limiting has not been
added in upstream, but is on its way in a separate effort, so those
calls are still NOPed out.
many RPC functions added by the daemonize changes
(and related changes on the upstream dev branch that were not merged)
were commented out (apart from return). Other than that, this *should*
work...at any rate, it builds, and that's something.
new update of the pr with network limits
more debug options:
discarding downloaded blocks all or after given height.
trying to trigger the locking errors.
debug levels polished/tuned to sane values.
debug/logging improved.
warning: this pr should be correct code, but it could make
an existing (in master version) locking error appear more often.
it's a race on the list (map) of peers, e.g. between closing/deleting
them versus working on them in net-limit sleep in sending chunk.
the bug is not in this code/this pr, but in the master version.
the locking problem of master will be fixed in other pr.
problem is ub, and in practice is seems to usually cause program abort
(tested on debian stable with updated gcc). see --help for option
to add sleep to trigger the error faster.
Update of the PR with network limits
works very well for all speeds
(but remember that low download speed can stop upload
because we then slow down downloading of blockchain
requests too)
more debug options
fixed pedantic warnings in our code
should work again on Mac OS X and FreeBSD
fixed warning about size_t
tested on Debian, Ubuntu, Windows(testing now)
TCP options and ToS (QoS) flag
FIXED peer number limit
FIXED some spikes in ingress/download
FIXED problems when other up and down limit
Usage:
default is lmdb for blockchain branch:
$ make release
same as:
$ DATABASE=lmdb make release
for original in-memory implementation:
$ DATABASE=memory make release
Probably needs more looking at -- lot of things were done...in a rushed
sort of way. That said, it all builds and *should* be at least
testable.
update for rebase (warptangent 2015-01-04)
fix conflicts with upstream CMakeLists.txt files
src/CMakeLists.txt (remove edits from original commit)
tests/CMakeLists.txt (remove edits from original commit)
src/cryptonote_core/CMakeLists.txt (edit)
- use blockchain db .cpp and .h files
- add LMDB_LIBRARIES
If the "enforce DNS checkpoints" flag is not enabled, it should not exit
if DNS checkpoints conflict with the others, but should still print a
warning to the user.
json checkpoints will be checked every 10 minutes, dns every 60.
json checkpoints always enforced, dns still with flag.
conflicting checkpoints is hard fail, but soft if dns enforce flag not
set and dns checkpoints are wonky.
Bounds checking on blockchain_storage' m_blocks.size() when validating
against checkpoints. Also moved initial json & DNS checkpoints load to
after blockchain init.
The daemon should now check for updated checkpoints from
checkpoints.moneropulse.org as well as from the configured json file
every ~1hr (and on launch).
The daemon now has a flag to enable enforcing these checkpoints (rather
than just printing a warning when they fail).
TODO: an easily configurable list of DNS servers to check for
checkpoints as opposed to the hard-coded "checkpoints.moneropulse.org"
