The current hack implementation was added in #8315. On master (8db23349fe9b512e6801d59d17052c5a7a1c64df) this hack is effectively noop, and it is no longer needed.

2020-07-30Merge #18011: Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobenchWladimir J. van der Laan
78c312c983255e15fc274de2368a2ec13ce81cbf Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobench (Martin Ankerl) Pull request description: Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobench This replaces the current benchmarking framework with nanobench [1], an MIT licensed single-header benchmarking library, of which I am the autor. This has in my opinion several advantages, especially on Linux: * fast: Running all benchmarks takes ~6 seconds instead of 4m13s on an Intel i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz. * accurate: I ran e.g. the benchmark for SipHash_32b 10 times and calculate standard deviation / mean = coefficient of variation: * 0.57% CV for old benchmarking framework * 0.20% CV for nanobench So the benchmark results with nanobench seem to vary less than with the old framework. * It automatically determines runtime based on clock precision, no need to specify number of evaluations. * measure instructions, cycles, branches, instructions per cycle, branch misses (only Linux, when performance counters are available) * output in markdown table format. * Warn about unstable environment (frequency scaling, turbo, ...) * For better profiling, it is possible to set the environment variable NANOBENCH_ENDLESS to force endless running of a particular benchmark without the need to recompile.

2020-07-21Make test DoS_mapOrphans deterministicDavid Reikher
The RandomOrphan function and the function ecdsa_signature_parse_der_lax in pubkey.cpp were causing non-deterministic test coverage. Force seed in the beginning of the test to make it deterministic. The seed is selected carefully so that all branches of the function ecdsa_signature_parse_der_lax are executed. Prior to this fix, the test was exhibiting non-deterministic coverage since none of the ECDSA signatures that were generated during the test had leading zeroes in either R, S, or both, resulting in some branches of said function not being executed. The seed ensures that both conditions are hit. Removed denialofservice_tests test entry from the list of non-deterministic tests in the coverage script.

2020-06-19contrib: macdeploy: Correctly generate macOS SDKCarl Dong
Previously, we did not include the macOS SDK libc++ headers in our SDK creation process and instead used whichever libc++ headers shipped with the clang package we downloaded in depends. This change adds a script (which works on both GNU/Linux and macOS) to correctly generate the macOS SDK including the libc++ headers. This can be thought of as a simplified rewrite of tpoechtrager's script: https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross/blob/d3392f4eae78f3fa3f1fd065fa423f2712825102/tools/gen_sdk_package.sh The location within the SDK where we place the libc++ headers is chosen such that clang's search path detection logic for sysroots would pick up the headers properly. We also document this change.

This script is only used when new PNG files are added to the repo. This happens about once every two years. So fetching the script from the other repo should not be a burden, but removing it from this repo is going to cut down on the meta files we need to maintain in the main repo.

2020-04-28guix: Expose GIT_COMMON_DIR in container as readonlyCarl Dong
When using worktrees or submodules, you'll see a `.git' plain text file at the root of your working tree instead of the usual `.git' directory. This plain text file will point to the real GIT_DIR, under the GIT_COMMON_DIR. From experimentation, the full GIT_COMMON_DIR is required to exist for operations such as git-archive(1), so we expose it as readonly inside the container.
2020-04-28guix: Make source tarball using git-archiveCarl Dong
2020-04-28gitian: Limit sourced script to just assignmentsCarl Dong
Previously, the sourced script would create the source tarball. Now, it only assigns variables and the source-ing script has more flexibility in determining what to do with these variables. See later commit showing how this flexibility is useful in our Guix builds.

2aa48edec0101f8a77a2189244fc62722ff7a123 refactor: Drop unused ${WRAP_DIR}/${HOST} directory (Hennadii Stepanov) 1362be044724bb49d785ca2e296a3b43343c1690 build: Drop make dist in gitian builds (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: After the merge of #18331, the packaged source tarball is created by `git archive`, but the binaries are built from another one which is made by `make dist`. With this PR the only source tarball, created by `git archive`, is used both for binaries building and for packaging to users. Close #16588. Close #18547. As a good side-effect, #18349 becomes redundant. **Change in behavior** The following variables https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1b151e3ffce7c1a2ee46bf280cc1d96775d1f91e/configure.ac#L2-L6 are no longer used for naming of directories and tarballs. Instead of them the gitian descriptors use a git tag (if available) or a commit hash. --- Also a small refactor commit picked from #18404.

2020-04-28Merge #18629: scripts: add PE .reloc section check to security-check.pyfanquake
3e38023af724a76972d39cbccfb0bba4c54a0323 scripts: add PE .reloc section check to security-check.py (fanquake) Pull request description: The `ld` in binutils has historically had a few issues with PE binaries, there's a good summary in this [thread](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19011). One issue in particular was `ld` stripping the `.reloc` section out of PE binaries, even though it's required for functioning ASLR. This was [reported by a Tor developer in 2014](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17321) and they have been patching their [own binutils](https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-build.git/tree/projects/binutils) ever since. However their patch only made it into binutils at the [start of this year](https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=dc9bd8c92af67947db44b3cb428c050259b15cd0). It adds an `--enable-reloc-section` flag, which is turned on by default if you are using `--dynamic-base`. In the mean time this issue has also been worked around by other projects, such as FFmpeg, see [this commit](https://github.com/TheRyuu/FFmpeg/commit/91b668acd6decec0a6f8d20bf56e2644f96adcb9). I have checked our recent supported Windows release binaries, and they do contain a `.reloc` section. From what I understand, we are using all the right compile/linker flags, including `-pie` & `-fPIE`, and have never run into the crashing/entrypoint issues that other projects might have seen. One other thing worth noting here, it how Debian/Ubuntu patch the binutils that they distribute, because that's what we end up using in our gitian builds. In the binutils-mingw-w64 in Bionic (18.04), which we currently use in gitian, PE hardening options/security flags are enabled by default. See the [changelog](https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/b/binutils-mingw-w64/binutils-mingw-w64_8ubuntu1/changelog) and the [relevant commit](https://salsa.debian.org/mingw-w64-team/binutils-mingw-w64/-/commit/452b3013b8280cbe35eaeb166a43621b88d5f8b7). However in Focal (20.04), this has now been reversed. PE hardening options are no-longer the default. See the [changelog](https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/b/binutils-mingw-w64/binutils-mingw-w64_8.8/changelog) and [relevant commit](https://salsa.debian.org/mingw-w64-team/binutils-mingw-w64/-/commit/7bd8b2fbc242a8c2fc2217f29fd61f94d3babf6f), which cites same .reloc issue mentioned here. Given that we explicitly specify/opt-in to everything that we want to use, the defaults aren't necessarily an issue for us. However I think it highlights the importance of continuing to be explicit about what we want, and not falling-back or relying on upstream. This was also prompted by the possibility of us doing link time garbage collection, see #18579 & #18605. It seemed some sanity checks would be worthwhile in-case the linker goes haywire while garbage collecting. I think Guix is going to bring great benefits when dealing with these kinds of issues. Carl you might have something to say in that regard.

2020-04-24Merge #18589: Fix naming of macOS SDK and clarify versionfanquake
eb37275a6f972c81caef010b4ee9c5dc88edc759 Fix naming of macOS SDK and clarify version (Andrew Chow) Pull request description: Fixes the `MacOSX10.14.sdk.tar.gz` creation command to have `MacOSX.sdk` be correctly named as `MacOSX10.14.sdk` and for the resulting file to be placed in the current directory. Gitian requires that `tar.gz` contains a folder named `MacOSX10.14.sdk` and the command did not do this originally. Having the file be placed in the current directory is a convenience so builders don't have to go find it. Also clarifies which version of Xcode to download and where it can be downloaded. ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK eb37275a6f972c81caef010b4ee9c5dc88edc759 - tested the macOS and Linux SDK extraction.
